Though They've Tied the Tin To "Tip," He's
 Not Forgotten

Though they've tied the tinware to
 Trip" O'Neill, and deposed him from the presidency of the Western League, the fans of baIIdom will be slow to forget that most famous of minor lea que leaders. Although many of the fans of the class A circuit over which
 Tip. so long presided banned him unmercifully. yet with all his faults they love him stil,'' and his virtues will be remembered long after the ar- vii chorus has subsided.
 It was eleven years ago to-day, on Jan 12, 1905, that Norris L. O'Nei1I, his STfpperaryship, was elevated to the presidency of the Western League. For some time, before his deposition 'eTip'' had been at odds with a number of the n1agnates, and at a meeting held in Omaha last September O'Neill was charged with incompetency. refusal to follow the policy dictated by the club owners, repudiatIon of the rights of the leagues members, and general spissitude. After much heated con- duced to quit the first of this year, and Frank C. Zehrung, of Lincoln, a the atrical Tnagnate, was chosen to direct the destinies of the circuit.
 Whatever O'NeilPs sins of omission and commission in recent years-and the fact that he couldn't hit it off with the magnates made him undesirable as a president-there is little disposition to deny that he has played an impor- tant and benef1cent. part in the up- building of the Western League.
 Under the leadership of O'NeilI the circuit has gained a firm footing in the baseball world. Although last seasons race was the sixteenth in the history of the present organizati on, the Western League may be said to have had it's beginning with the launching Of the old Western Association in 1888. That circuit included several Of the cities represented in the pres ent Western League. In 1892 the assoc1ati on's name was changed to Western League. and it branched@ out and took in a number of the larger cit ies in the central states which had formerly had major league Fepresen- tation. In 1900 the old Western League became the American League, and, under Ban Johnson'1 direction, set out for the major 4eague goal. The present Western League was organfz-. ed to take the place of the old, but in 1902 the American Association enter ed the field The Western League f.eIds on to it's territory in Milwaukee and Kansas City for some time, but in the end had to acknowledge defeat It was at this troubled period in it's his tory that the Western League came under the direction of --T1p'' O-Nei1f, and, after experiments with a num- Der of cities, a compact and profitable circuit was formed.

NEVER so MUCH MONEY
 IN IRELAND AS AT PRESENT
Due to the Fact That it Is Mainly an
 Agricultural Country.

Dublin, Ireland, Feb. 2S.-CCorres- pondence of The Associated Press).- There was never so much money in Ireland as there Is at present. The general prosperity of the country was the theme of the speeches of the chairmen O fall the leading banks which have just held their semi-an- nual meetings. The banks all main tained their dividends, they all show ed increased profits and applied these profits by wiping out the deprecia- tion which occurred before the war on the securities they held. The se- curities have now mostly been writ ten down to their present market val ues, though many of them in war loans are repayable at par at a fixed period. Roughly it may be said that though ten million pounds were sub scribed in Ireland to war loans there is as much money in the banks as ever. So well off are they that an ab- sur6 rumor was started that the gov ernment intended to commander the money in them. This rumor was ap- parently believed and was cited by the chairman of the National Bank as pounds in deposits, though the same bank had an increase of money on current accounts of 137 ,OO0 pounds.
 Several of the Irish banks have au- CuOrlIy unQ6T an act OI passed in 1S45 to issue notes, and at the beginning of the war the crisis which had to be met in England by the issue of one pound treasury notes did not exist in Ireland, where the one pound note is an established fea- ture of the currency. But as the act provides that money shall be held as cover against all notes issued in eX- cess of the amounts scheduled in the act, and as there has been a great in
 
 transacted in connection with the war and at the same time a contraction of the gold supply, the banks have is sued notes greatly in excess of the figures provided in the act. To cover these they have accordingly had to lock up a great deal of idle money. In the case of the National Bank the chairman announced that while the authorized amount of bank note issue was S50,000 pounds they have issued 1,S00,000 pounds beyond that figure. Suggestions have been made to the chancellor of the exchequer for the setting free of the money held as cover on certain conditions. But he has not so far felt himself able to agree to the proposal.
 The secret of the strong position of the Irish banks IS the fact that Ire land is mainly an agricultural country and that owing to the war agriculture is a booming industry. The past year che farmers. Reports from all parts of Ireland show that the last harvest was very good, and indicate at least a repetition of it this year. There Is an ample supply of hay and roots for winter feeding of cattle, and in most cases the farmers are said to have all they need in the way Of cattle as was feared would not be the case when at the beginning of the war the high prices induced exceptionally heavy sales.
