bled National and American league Of
fcials listened to the Federal league
men as they unfolded their tale of woe
they looked at each other in surprise.
An official Of organized baseball
said: They estimate that the Federal
league lost $3,000,0 900 in this venture.
| tell you that $4,500.0 900 or $4,000, 600
would be nearer the mark. 1t was the

to imagine that any baseball league
could live and pay the players such
salaries"
1t is estimated that more than sew
enty-five Of the ball players whom the
Federal league enticed away from or
ganized ball with the big offer of
money received more than twice as
much as they received with organized
ball. This item alone would represent
an annual expenditure of $225,000.
1t can readily be seen now why the
big issue in the peace negotiations Is
the seventy or more players whom the
Federal league has under %iron-bound

If they take the players back. 1t is

The question asked most in pugilis-
tic circles is: WAS John l.. Sullivan
ever champion of the world?" This
has been answered in the affirmative
as well as the negative, noted critics
disagreeing as to whether OF not Sui
Ivan really held the title. Tom An
drews of Milwaukee, a well-known
sporting authority, declares Sullivan
was In reality the champion. An
drews burrowed into ancient pugilistio
history and unearthed the following
facts to uphold him in his contention:
In 1869 Tom Allen, heavyweight
champion Of England, and Mike Nc
Coole, an American, fought for the
worlds championship ear st. Louis,
and McCoole won on a foul in the
ninth round. In 1873 Allen and Nc
Coole staged another battle and on
that occasion Allen was the victor.
That victory restored the champion
ship to him.
Late In 1878 Joe Goss of England
came to America and fought Allen
near Covington, Ky. Goss won on e
foul in the twenty-seyenth round. In
1880 Paddy Ryan fought Goss at Col
lier, W. Va, and won the decision in
the ~eighty-seventh round. February
z, 1882, John l.. Sullivan met Ryan at
Mississippi City for $1,000 a side and
knocked out Ryan in the ninth
round.
Goss beat Allen, Ryan beat Goss.
and Sullivan beat Ryan, so why
shouldn't Sullivan be looked upon as
the worlds champion after his victory
over Ryan? asks Andrews.
Sullivan's victory over Ryan, and
the victories of the other champions
before Ryan and Sullivan were under
the old London prize ring rules, but
those were the rules that really gov
erned in those days, and it was under
these rules that champions were made
and unmade. In further argument
that Sullivan was champion Of the
world Andrews cites these facts:

A Few Examples.

The liberality Of the Federal league
toward it's ball players left the club

Gals told Of the thousands of dollars
they had spent on inflated salaries.
In order to lure the players away
from the major leagues their salaries
were doubled and some Of them
tripled. According to the officials Of
organized ball, 1t was this unusual
extravaganza OF the Federal league
which caused it's downfall.
A few examples Of the increase
which the Federal league gave in
salaries, shows that it vas impos-
sible for the Federal league to ever

December 10, 1887, Smith and Kilrain,
an American, fought 100 rounds to a

July 8, 1889, Sullivan and Kilrain met

bare knuckles, as had Smith and Kill

rounds, the battle lasting two hours

Smith was only the champion of

he could do against Kilrain was a

Some folks, mostly English, were of

THE DANGER
OF ILLITERACY

It's gratifying to.note that the ten
dency Of the age is setting more
strongly to a general education of the
youth Of the land. Many states un-
able to solve the educational problem
in any other way, have passed COM
pulsory schools laws, and in some
localities these are being enforced.
Needless to say that where such is
the case the results are most gratify-
ing.
Still there are many sections of our
country where this is not the case
many sections where ignorance is
still at premium.
This should not be. No child
should ever be permitted to reach
maturity without being given the
ground work of a liberal education.
There can be no greater menace to
the safety to this republic than of
Ignorance. 1t is the father of crime
jand the mother of treason.
Of late we have been deluged with
argument for national preparedness.
To our way of thinking most effect
i've preparedness that this nation could
attain to would be to see that every
child within its borders is lifted above
the soul paralyzing slough of igno-
rance. 1t would be worth more than
the entire heavy ordinance of the
Kaiser or all the dreadnaughts of
Britain.
"Vox popull, vox De" is indeed
a noble sentiment, but it true onlyin
so far as the voice of the people is
the voice of an enlightened, intelligent
people. Itwere mockery of an om-
niscient God to suppose otherwise.
Let us as a people awake to the
great fact that this land can never be
what the Creator intended it should be
until our people are all intelligent, ed
ucated, we'll informed citizens.
There are few social or political
problems of WHICH education is not
the sure solution.
