PAT MORAN AND
PRESIDENT BAKER
COME TO TERMS

Substantial Increase in
Salary for 1916
FEDERAL LEAGUE TALK


NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Manager Pat
Moran, of tho Phillics, has come to terms
with President Baker, and unless league
business takes up too much OF the lat
ters time today he will sign his contract
before nightfall. Since the close OF tho
championship season, it has been fire.
duently stated that the popular leader
was holdout but upon his arrival from
Fitchburg this morning, Moran denied
that he had ever been holdout; he
said that he did not care to sign his
contract after the worlds series be-
cause he wanted to go home to rest. He
admitted that he had remarked that it
was going to cost the club more than
they imagined to get him to sign his
new contract, and IL was this remark
which started the rumor.
Moran says he thinks he was entitled
to a substantial increase. and that he
knew President Baker expected him to
ask for a much larger salary. In 1915
Moran was an experiment and he re-
ceived n salary in keeping, but after
winning the first pennant in the history
of the club for the Phillies in his first
season. Pat believed he was entitled to a
large salary.
MAKES DEMANDS.
lie had not made his demands known
to Baker personally until Saturday, when
the president and manager met for the
first time since the close of the season.
President Baker asked Moran to give
him time to think the matter over. and

for only what he was entitled 10.

sTAHL MANAGE CLEVELAND?
This Is Rumor Floating Around the
Windy City

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. II Somebody has
opened the winter league season here
with the report that Jake Stahl win be
called on to manage the Cleveland Amer
lean League club. The report goes fur
ther to state that Ban Johnson is the
instigator of the plan. Both Johnson and
Stahl remained Sphinxlile when ques-
toned on the subject.
That Stahl would make any club n
good manager is generally recognized by
baseball authorities. Stahl managed the
Red SoX to a pennant and worlds cham
pionship in 1912. At midseason in 1919
his troubles with Jimmy McAleer caused
his retirement from the game. Since
that time he has been connected with
the Washington Park National Bank OF
this city.

CORN YIELD Is HEAVY.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2.-Tnere Is
nothing within reasonable and practi.
cable reach of accomplishment where
by the operation and results of intel
ligent and persistent demonstration
of efficiency and success in agricul-
tural advancement may be brought di-
rect to a greater number of individ-
nails than they can reach in their regu-
lar rounds, that State Agent Wilson
and his assistants in the general farm
demonstration work will not under
take. These men live virtually under
their hats, which is necessary if they
would accomplish anything, though
there is also much detail work to be
attended to.
For the past two years these DEM
onstration agents have been conduct
ing experimental plats of ground in
| this vicinity, upon which have been
planted oats, corn, and legumes.
These plats have been cultivated under
the direction of these well informed
farm demonstrators, and standing as
they are adjacent to fields which have
been worked according to the DID, or
thodox and descredited methods, they
present vivid and marked contrasts
all around.
| c. A. Cobb, P. p. Garner, S. NJ.
Yeates and other attaches of Agent
Wilson's staff, have brought forward
on the way to fuller harvest several
acres of the finest June corn which
has ever been seen in this section.
The corn was planted on land which
had been treated to moderate appli-
cation of commercial fertilizer, into
which the oats cover crop had been
plowed, the date of planting having
been June "a. The ground was given
probably four workings or ploughings,
with top dressing of acid phosphate,

when suddenly something moved on
the pantry floor, then it seemed to
slide in and out around the boxes and
Gyp was interested.
He stood up and watched; there it
was again land the cook opened the
door in the kitchen at the same time
Gyp saw it was mouse running
around the pantry floor. He sprang
for it, and caught it just as the cook
came to the pantry door and saw
Blackie washing her face and paws
beside the empty cream dish.
Blackie saw that she was caught as
fast as the mouse in Gyp's mouth, and
what was worse she knew it was her
work to have caught the mouse.
Blackie jumped, but the cook was
too quick for her that time, she took
the broom and poor Blackie was beat.
en- and driven out.
When she slid into the kitchen later
she saw Gyp eating chicken and bread
and gravy and heard the cook saw.
Good Gyp, he is a nice puppy to catch
the mouse; that Blackie is a lazy thief
and mean to drive her out every
time she comes in"
Blackie hid behind a box and tried
to get to Gyp when the cook was not
looking, for she wanted her supper,
but the cook spied her and bang went
the broom and out the door flew
Blackie.
The next day out in the yard Blackie
tried to make up with Gyp, but he had
found her out.
You wanted me to eat some of the
cream, didn't you, so you could lay IL
to me when the cook found the empty
dish." he said.
IF you had been paying attention
to your work you would have caught
the mouse and had a nice warm place
to sleep this winter. Now you will
have to sleep in the barn"
Blackie showed her claws and ran
toward him, but Gyp's mad was up
and he stood still and growled and
showed his teeth.
That is right. Gyppy, boy" called
the cook from the doorway, don't
you let her drive you away; give her
good shaking as you did the mouse
She is good-for-nothing kitten"
Gyp, encouraged. ran at Blackie and
this time she ran and Gyp's revenge
was complete.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
BlACkIE AND GYP.

Blackie was little kitten and Gyp
a puppy, and they lived in the same
house and played together great deal
but Blackie had sharp claws and whe1
Gyp did not do things to please her
Blackie sometimes let him feel them.
One day Blackie found the door to
the pantry open and big dish of
cream on the shelf. She looked at it
with longing eyes, and even Tapped a
little of it.
If l drink all of it," she thought,
"the cook will look for me, l am sure,
for this is for breakfast. She must
have forgotten to put it away.
Blackie took another taste and then
she thought of something. I'll get Gyp
in here and make him drink what |
leave. Then the cook will think he
drank the whole of it,"
Off she ran to find Gyp, but he was
doing in the sun, and besides that he
did not like cream, so he did not jump
up as Blackie thought he would, and
she gave him Lox on the ears with
her paw, at tho same time thrusting
out her sharp claws until poor Gyp
cried out with pain.
Then he jumped up and ran for the
house, Blackie following and humping
her back.
Gyp ran under the stove in the
kitchen and Blackie tried to drive him
out.
"Will you help me get the cream
she asekd, looking very fierce. "You
will get half and it is very sweet and
smooth"
81 do not like cream" said Gyp
backing away from Blackie.
well come in the pantry and watch
me eat then" said Blackie, growing
very pleasant all of sudden.
Gyp was completely fooled by hel
smooth tongue and he followed hei
into the pantry.
"Sit down here and watch me-" com
manded Blackie, jumping to the shell
where the dish of cream stood.
Gyp sat on the floor and watched
her, and Blackie was SO absorbed il
the cream that she forgot about Gyp
81 don't see any fun in this for me.
he thought. 81 will go out by the stow
where it is warm"
He stretched himself out by thu
stove with his nose toward the pantry
