League Adjourns to Meet
Again When Court Acts
on Newark Franchise.

Buffalo, Feb. 27.-The Federal Base
ball League adjourned its two days
session here late TO-DAY and will meet
in Pittsburgh on March IS. By that

obstacle preventing the transfer Of the
Kansas City franchise to Newark would
be removed and the seasons playing
schedule could be adopted.
Two sessions of the board of direct
ors were held to-day. The Kansas
City-Newark dispute occupied most OF
the time of the opening session, and
the legal side Of the proposition was
discussed, with the result that the
officials left the meeting positive in
their conviction that the transfer was
within the law and that the court
would allow it to stand.
President Gilmore made positive the
statement that Newark would have
Federal League team this year, and
characterized the legal controversy as
"ill advised and unjust"
+. f. Gates, the leagues attorney.
following suggestions received from
players and club owners, presented a
new contract which will be submitted
to the owners by the usual thirty day
mail vote method. Mr.. Gates stated
that the contract was an eqitable one
and he considered it court proof,
binding alike on player and club.

announced the following umpires for
the season: James tombstone, New
ark; Fred Westervelt, Richmond; Will
lam Finneran, Erie; Harry Howell
Brooklyn; Lewis Fyfe, Chicago, Barry

ing at West Baden, Ind. on March 81.

The Ill Wind, Etc.

There will be more ball players out of work by the
1st of May this season of 1918 than baseball has
known. The National League alone by that date will
have attached the TO 100 athletes who may
in part get jobs elsewhere, but who in so doing will
crowd out others.
Not overlooking any sympathy for those forced out,
especially the veterans where the blow will fall hardest,
this state of affairs should summon the attention Of
those now in the game. There was general tendency
all last to loaf break training and in other ways
disregard discipline and produce inferior standard
of play If those left in the game take the proper
warning from many turned adrift, there will be a
return the old hustle and spirit which lifted baseball
so high. Otherwise, there will be further lessenlng
of interest and another epidemic of iobless PLAYERS.

A Dream of Far-OH Lands.

IN Far-Of Lands to-day where lost paths run,
A Little Boy looks up into Gods sky
Through apple blossoms, S,CGying in the san,
That drift springs first south Vinds tchisper By;
And he looks, upon his face there comes
The light that only FdaeS great Dream yield
To him ,Cho hears far of the roll Of drums
The SiIrer bugle calling to the Field.
In Far-Of Lands I see him take the path
WITH outStretched hands that reach forth for his
Dream,
Uhmindful Of the Night, the Tcmpest's a0roth
But By hill and koiloU Udle and stream,
Through all the bitterness and stress of gears
That may not turn him back nor dim has faith;
UnknOWng, he looks through tender years.
He tOLocS but the phantom Of q Wroh.
lcatcb him leoye the hoppE fields he knelc
The Wariug grasses and the toide kind sky;
The harvest song that acindS and echoes throuqh
Lost summer dogs OF sunlight drifting By;
The paths Of Faith and Honesty and Truth
To folto1U through the mire Of Hate and Greed
And tangled 10ays thGt lead so far from Youth
That sent him forth to Where his dream might lead
From Far-Of Lands that hold their place apart
see him toke the gray trail Of the gears
StruQQlng and stumbling, tUedrg, SICK at heart
Cropping IN blindness through the might OF fears:
With OutStretched hands that reach forth for has dream
That hires and leads and beckOns net still keeps
Dim IN the darkness, light that streams
Beyond dim UGieS Where endless darkness creepS
Nearer and nearer from the throng apart
see him struggling blindly in the fray,
With mighty pity surgtng through ny heart
That one should be so far from off the 1Cdy;
So far from that dim dream youth left behind,
WITH none TO shoW the proper road TO fare,
Until, pith sudden start rake to find
Him Whom pitied sitting IN my chair.

AN EXPENSIVE INSTITUTION
But Cost Of Christmas Pays Big Re-
turns In Joy and Happiness Of
Children.

Christmas is very costly institu-
ton. 1t makes deep holes in millions
OF well.filled pockets. Fathers hand
reaches into his pocket more often
in the few weeks before Christmas
than during any other period of equal
extent in the whole year. And lots of
money goes for presents that, in the
hands of happy children, last very
short time. Nightfall of Christmas
day sees many toys in mangled heaps
that bright and shining and new greet
ed the little folks as they hoped out
Of bed Christmas morning. And mil
lions and millions of things are bought
that never would be, if it were not for
Christmas. But does all this mean that
Christmas is not worth the money it
costs, that it would be better If the
world did not observe the anniversary
of Christ's birth in the way it does
Nobody in the whole wide Christian
part of the world will say that Christ
mas does not pay for itself, that it is
not worth all it costs, and that it is
not bargain at any price. Where can
be found a father and mother who
feel that they have been cheated by
Christmas, after they hear the CUR
Cling laughter of their children, in
ecstasy among their new toys, even if
there had to be skimping and saving of
pennies to buy the little presents p

CHRISTMAS FOR THE BIRDS
Scandinavian Custom Of Providing
Feast Of Barley for Feathered
Creatures.

Among the other delightful traits Of
the Scandinavian people is their Gus
tom in their Yule festivities of think
ing not only of the happiness Of their
little ones, but of teaching these chill
dren to bear in mind the happiness OF
others and in particular Of the animals
about them.
At the Yuletide season, we are told,
the market place Of Christmas pre-
sents a very gay aspect, filled in as it
is with spruce trees Of all sizes for
the childrens festival. But there is a
feature in the Morse Christmas that
have not heard Of in any other country
in that in this market place there IS
for each Christmas tree Juleneg, or
little sheat Of barley; each person who
buys a tree also buys sheaf. Then,
when the tree is set up in the main
room of the house at Yuletide for the
BARN (born, as they are called in Nor
way) the sheaf of grain is fastened on
the end of a pole and put out in the
yard for Christmas feast for the
birds!

A CHRISTMAS VISION

On Christmas eve mid all the joyous glee
That in my righteousness surrounded me,
happened by some chance to turn mine
eye
Out through a window-wreath that hung
near by.
And as ] glanced through it into the
night
7 seemed to see. lit by some holy light.
A childish face with wistful, smiling lips
That thrilled me to my very finger-tips.
Two eager hands stretched forth called
as in stress,
TO me to carry help to Helplessness,
And in the sad eyes of that child saw
In all its loneliness the Christmas Law
Not a command no everlasting Must
Upon Reluctance for its teaching thrust.
But just pleading hint to him who runs
That all who suffer are Gods Little Ones.
And then the picture in the wreath was
gone,
And in it's place the Eastern Star-beams
shone-
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wise Men with their heavenly
glow:
And cen as they I wandered through the
drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts
To cheer, and give release. and pay my
due
Unto my Lord through them that suffer
John Kendrick Bangs, in scribner's.
