is not so good at covering a large
area of ground.
In many quarters there was a de-
sire to e Berger onsthird base last
season. It was believed he would do
better than some of the makeshifts
employed there, and his batting
would probably have improved with
the advantage of daily practice in fac
ing the pitchers. He wouldn't have
been any worse than Alcock and had
youth in his favor.
Berger is game, a fighting player
and full of team spirit.
His prediction for the coast league
may seem peculiar to some. But there
are at least a score of players on the
coast who could easily make good in
either of the big majors, yet prefer to
remain out in California. They like
the climate, where baseball is posi-
BILE all year, and declare they last
longer than in the east, where each
season they must go through a hard
course Of spring training, often in
weather than stiffens the muscles.
Several men, when let out of the
majors, have chosen the coast to
either the international league or
American Association, believing their
earning capacity on the diamond
would be prolonged.
I'VE fought our battles at the gates
instead of in the courts" says Ban
Johnson, referring to. the inception of
the American league, using the illus
tratiOn to show what lilly whites the
American was compared to these
harsh cUsses who are backing the
Federal organization.
But somewhere in our memory
sticks a recollection of a person nam
ed LajOie, formerly attached to the
Philadelphia Nationals, who jumped
to Cleveland. An injunction was Sc
cured against him and for a long time
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-01-09

johnson indirectly refers to this
case, but says his league was dragged
into court. True enough, but there
must have been something peculiar
in the way Lajoie was induced to
jump, or the National club would new
er have been able to obtain that in
junction.
President Gilmore of the Federal
league says his circuit has a work.
able plan for conducting baseball if
the national agreement now in force
is knocked out in the hearing before
Judge Lands. What it is we don't
know, and we aren't terribly inter-
ested.
All we want is the coming of April,
when the bat will whang against the
ball once more. These political mat
tiers will adjust themselves in time,
no matter what the courts decide, for
the fans must be ~catered.to.
For quite some period the bugs
have been taking whatever was hand
ed them and looking pleasant. There
we're the rumblings of a revolt last
season when the turnstiles failed to
click so merrily. Some of the mag
mates tried to attribute this lack of
patronage to the European war, but
the truth is that the fans have had
enough politics.
They want to see baseball, but they
want clean baseball and are going to
have it. The average fan doesn't like
a one-sided slaughter, even though
his home team makes the killing. He
would rather see two evenly-balanced
amateur teams fight out a hard game.
That was proven in Cleveland last
season, where $4,000 people attended
an amateur game one Sunday, while
Charley Somers was facing a heavy
deficit in the cash drawer. The Maps
were down in the race-trUe enough
but the fans wouldn't turn out even

Senator Drane
Denounced
Charges Made
against Senators
TALLAHASSEE PAPER CHARGED
THAT LIQUOR INTERESTS OF
JACKSONVILLE SENT $4,000
TO INFLUENCE THE SENATE

Tallahassee, April 16-When the
senate met Wednesday morning a
local paper had been plced upon the
desks of the members, charging by
innuendo that $4,000 had been
sent from Jacksonville to defeat the
prohibition amendment. Large
headlines clear across the front page
of the paper announced the dmor-
alization of the interests opposed to
the proposition and the sending of
the money.
Several of the senators took shot
at the statement on the floor of the
senate.
Senaor Farris declares that an in
vestigation of the matter should be
had and responsibility for the cal
umny placed where it belongs.
Senator Drane was very emphatic
in his denunciation of such methods
He expressed himself as of the opin-
ion that the present senate is COM
posed of men above the reproach
brought upon them by such innuen-
do by many members of the senate
who voted for submission.

ing the first months of marriage,
who knows the delight of doing all
sorts of little personal services for
him, misses half the JOY of mar
riage. She misses so much fun,
too, for brides experiments with
cooking and housekeeping, even If
she has been trained, are brimfull
of amusement.
'In marriage the person with
money sense should have control OF
the money. I would never say that
man who has silly, extravagant
wife should turn over to her the
cash he works hard to earn. On the
other hand if he is natural spend
thrift and his wife has good bust
ness judgment, she should have the
handling of the family income. II
both are equally sensible, then there
should be a common fund from
which each may draw at will.

Gives @. X. To
His Release
DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE BRAD
ENT0WN ANYWAY; IS PROM.
NENT THERE AND FRIENDS
ARE GLAD HE IS TO REMAIN

Bradentown, April 16-"After a
Teller lives in a town as long as
have lived in this one, and helps
to build town Just as he wants IT,
it would be trying hardship to
move away and leave it and the
friends one made in years of pleas
ant association.
That's what o. X. Reaves, lawyer,
said recently when discussing the
matter of a decision of Attorney
General Thomas F. West to retain
the Office from which he had resign
ed, and to which Attorney 0. X
Reaves of Bradentown had been APP
pointed.
Ordinarily the Bradentown law
yer would have said "fellow" instead
of teller" but at the moment his
voice was just a little husky from
emotions awakened by the warm de-
clarations of congratulation and the
expressions of regret occasioned by
the contemplated removal OF MT

Tarpon Springs
Man Reported
To Be MISSING
GEORGE S. AIKEN, EMPLOYED
BY INVADING MERCHANT.
SK1PS OUT CARRYING WITH
him SOME OF THE FIRMS
CASH

St. Petersburg, April 16-George
s. Aiken, formerly Of this city, but
more lately of Tarpon Springs, is a
badly wanted man, according to in
formation from that city and also
from Clearwater yesterday. The
story is that Aiken, who was en-
ployed by Arthur L. Johnson, one Of
the leading merchants of Tarpon
Springs, departed taking along with
him some of the firms cash and de-
serting his family.
That Aiken visited Jacksonville is
evidenced by the fact that he wrote
Mr.. Johnson from that city, telling
him that he left because of domestic
trouble and that two dollars for
each one that he defaulted, would
be returned in time The promise
may be all right, and Aiken may
have thought that was what he
would do but Mr.. Johnson wants his
cash and swore out the warrant.
Aiken also write his wife letter
it is said. He indicated in one or
both of the letters that he was going
to New Orleans Where he went
as a matter of fact is not known
The authorities however, are trying
to get line on him. The alleged
defalcation amounts to quite con-
siderable sum- In addition an en-
tirely new outfit of wearing apparel
was taken by Aiken.
Aiken few years ago was ar
ranged in police court here charged
with an assault upon his wife, in
one of the city parks. Following
this difficulty there was a temper
airy separation but reconciliation
, was effected.
