TO HAVE
SCOUTS
ON JOB
N. L. Magnates Tired of
Getting Second Pick at
Recruit Fields

New York, Dec. 1S.-The baseball
scout is a mighty important individ-
ual. Don't let 'em tell you different.
Time was, and only about two yea1G
ago at that, when some Of our very
best baseball magnates figured out
plan whereby they could dispense with
the service of the ivory hunters.
Most Of them thought that by ar
ranging with managers in the minor
leagues they would be able to get the
same brand Of dope on minor league
players that the scouts were furnish
ing. Hence, they got busy appointing
representatives in different sections Of
the country to look over the rockies
and make reports.
American Profited.
Now it happened that a majority Of
the "magnuts" who lit upon this line
Of reasoning were the owners Of Ma
tional league franchises. The Amer
lean leaguers were more friendly to
the system Of employing scouts, and as
result a majority of the. youngsters
who came to the big show and made
good came to American league clubs.
After trying out the personal rep
resentative system" many Of the base
ball men have come to the conclusion
that the best way to- get real line
in minor Ieague talent is through the
medium of the scout. and a majority
at least, of those magnates who want
ed to get away from the OBLIGATION of
carrying two or more scouts on the
payroll are expected to return to 1t
next spring.
kinseIla is Veteran.
Dick Kinsella, veteran scout of the
New York Giants. is going to be a
more important sleuth on the Giant
payroll next year than he has been
for several years past, and Dick may
have one or two assistants.
For time Manager McGraw thought
he could comb the bushes, with Kin
sells aid, through tips received from
his many friends in baseball. But Nc
Graw has changed his mind. it Is said,
and hereafter he will place his faith
In the gumshoe boys.
Club owners in the National league
have been doing some consistent
thinking since the 1915 worlds series.
The ease with which the Red Sox put
the crusher on the Brooklyn Dodgers
has acted as a burr under the saddle,
and the owners in the older league are
making plans to strengthen their
teams and thereby put a greater punch
into the playing of the league as "a
whole.
Tired Of Hearing II.
1t has been said for several years
that the American is the faster league
Of the two. and the club owners in
Governor Teners circuit are tired of
hearing It.
Young blood-more Of it than the
National league has the title to at
present Is needed to rejuvenate the
class of bali tn that circuit. and it
means that If the club owners are go
ing out after N they will need the as
sistance OF the best sleuthing persons
they can hire.
President Ebbets, Of the Dodgers.
will have four or five scouters look
ing over the ivory fields next summer,
and President Weeghman and Man
ager Tinker, Of the Cubs, have made
1t known that no rock will be left un-
turned to put the Cubs in the coming

New York Philharmonic Orchestra To
Be Heard for the First Time in
MANY Cities


Throughout The United States today
there is evidence of new musical life
and interest. Symphony orchestras
are~multiplying, and symphonic appre-
citation is rapidly increasing. Music
lovers are awakening to the fact that
symphony concerts, presented in its
largest, richest, and most inspiring
form, afford the NAHUM of musical
enjoyment.
A prime factor in this desirable
movement is the Philharmonic Society.
New York s premier orchestra and one
of the greatest in the world, which has
Just entered upon its seventy-fourth
season. For nearly three-quarters of
century the Philharmonic has been
presenting the finest available in music
al art, and in all has been heard by
many millions of people, through several
generations.
For the present season of 1856, the
Philharmonic will appear in a number
of cites that have heretofore not had
the pleasure of hearing this unxcelled
orchestra. Among the cities that have
re-engaged the Philharmonic orchestra
for one or more concerts this season
are: Syracuse, N. Y, Holyoke, Mass,
Boston, Mass, Northampton, Mass,
Providence, r. l., Rochester, n. Y,
Aurora, N Y, Ithaca, n, Y, Albany,
N. Y, jamestown, n. Y, Cleveland,
O., Detroit, Mich, Wilkes-Barre, Pa,
Pittsburg, Pa, and Canton, Ohio.
Of the cities that are to be favored
by this orchestra for the first time are:
Middletown, Conn, Waterbury. Conn,
Youngstown, Ohio, Ann Arbor, Mich,
Toledo, Ohio, Wheeling, W. Va, and

New York Philharmonic Society, th'
Oldest Orchestra in America, at
HaHs April 22nd.

nays April ENG.
The New York Philharmonic Orches-
ira is known as the oldest organization
of it's kind in America, and is regarded
today as an orchestra without superior
in the world.
The founding Of the Philharmonic
Society was romantic. It was in 1912,
nearly three-quarters of century ago,
that little body of thirty-seven pro-
fessional musicians met in the Apollo
Rooms in Manhattan and formed a So
ciety which had for its object 1.-The ad-
vancement of Instrumental music and
the production OF a number of concerts
each year of much higher order than
have ever been given IN this city" The
new Society set itself a tremendous
task, yet the standing of the orchestra
today more than proves the success
with which it has met through constant
effort and the sympathetic support of
thousands of music lovers.
The New York Philharmonic is the
third oldest organization of its kind in
the world, only the London Philhar-
monte and the Vienna Philharmonic
having been organized previously. 1t
is noted also for having perhaps the
longest list of famous conductors of
any orchestra. On its record pages are
the names that stand out,in the musical
development Of Europe and America
names that read ike q roll of fame IN
musical history. Its first conductor of
international fame was Carl Bergman,
who was a pioneer in introducing the
music Of Wagner to symphony au-
diences IN this country. Theodore
Thomas. whom al Americans revere
as the man who did more to spread the
love Of good music IN this country thar

The campaign for memberships in the
Golden Belt Road Association will open
in Hays in a few days. The Associa-
tion at its meeting at Manhattan, de-
cided that if the Golden Belt Road is to
stay on the map it must have money
for publicity campaign. Signs are
needed at Kansas City, Denver and
Colorado Springs, and the advantages
of the road must be called to the atten-
ton of the tourists. At present the
Santa Fe Trail is obtaining the greater
portion of the cross state tourist travel,
and the Golden Belt with its shorter
and better line, ought to have the big
end of this travel.
The plan is to secure one thousand
members who will pay S1.OO this year
and $1.O0 a year for four years follow
ing. This will be used purely for pub
licity. The officers have never received
nor will receive any salary. The Asso-
citation has employed NJ. G. Butterfeld
to canvass the towns of the entire route
and secure these members, and our city
should give him hearty reception. He
will spend few days here and see all
the business men who are interested in
boosting the Golden Belt. Already this
month in Abilene, Chapman, Salina and
Manhattan, he has secured about 200
members. The Vice President for
Hays is H. w. Chittenden.
In addition to membership in the
Golden Belt Road Association, each
member will receive membership in
the Touring Information Bureau of
Kansas City, which entities him to all
information on roads in this state and
elsewhere, and strip maps showing the
entire route of the Golden Belt across
the state.
But the big object is to boost this
cross country highway. A great deal
of work will be done on the Golden Belt
this spring, and it is expected that it
will be put in better condition than ever
in its history. If we want to help push
the Golden Belt, now is the time to do
it, and a large number of members
should be secured in this city.
