League team, is after Albert Bender. the

contract for 1916. Bender is in Philadel-
phia.
Maier is anxious to get the famous
Indian twirler. According to Federal
League players who are winterins here
the chief has plenty of good baseball left
in him and would be able to win at least
so per cent of his games in the Coas,
League. Bender is j.
Bender was one of the kreatest pitch
ers in the world in his day. He was
considered one of the best one-game
hurlers in the business. He was very
effective in the world series battle until
he met the Braves in 1914 and lost to
them.

-sNew York, Jan. 23.-A prize-fighter can
think Of something else besides the prize
ring and the padded gloves, or at least
one boxer can. He is Frank Moran, the
man selected to meet Jess Willard in
the first real bout which the champion
has had since he knocked out Jack john

Outside of the ring my greatest in

Moran. Il am proud of the friendships

Times Square. 1 want to help them

called the Knickerbockers, and took part
in drafting the first set of rules to gov
ern the game.
There is a tradition that Doubleday
and his companions christened their
game baseball" but this is not well
authenticated. "Old cat" and town
balP' were the popular names Of the pas
time prior to ls45, when the Knicker-
booker Club was organized.
All baseball fans know that Hoboken
was the scene of the first match game
OF baseball, between the Knickerbockers
and the New Yorks, In 1916. Without de-
priving Hoboken of any of Its glory,
however, It must give way to Coopers-
town as the real birthplace OF the GREET
game
In the early days the pitcher was the
''thrower," the helders were scouts,
and runs were called aces" The germs
of baseball were there, In spite of these
strange names, and Doubleday deserves
to be held IN grateful remembrance by
ali fans.

We should not wait for the clash of

frightful crisis of today is sufficient
to awaken our patriotism and to give
to us all more earnest regard each

The Industrial department has
been seeking to put Into practical
demonstration the answer 10 the
question What Is the function of the
Young Woman's Christian Associa-
ton to the industriai7"
One Of the terms used frequently
BY one Of those who told the story
uf Jesus's life Is this tin the frlldst.I'
This defines the relation OF Jesus
Christ and hence OF the Christian 10
human life and activity az almost no
other term does. Hence, we start out
with this reply to our question. Tho
relation Of the Young wotnan's CHRIS
tlan Association to the Industrial
movement should be, Christ In the
inidst.n
The function, then, Of this asso-
citation 10 to communicate the life
low from the two root principles I'M
Serlying .Christ In the midst" The
sAtherhood Of God, and the brother
mood Of man, 20 the industrial move
ment. In the past the association
has probably laid Its greatest cmpha-
sis upon those things which express
a fathers loving care-protectien OF
home, provision Of food and rest, by
providing boarding homes, lunch
Roonis. and certain religious and ed
Gcauonal opportunities, It was nee
essary that women OF leisure manage
and finance these features which re.
duired an outlay OF large sums Of
money and great judgment and
knowledge.
The management thus assumed
largely paternal attitude toward the
young women Of business and indus
try, and this organisation which
claimed to be democratic became In
large measure autooratic. While re-
sponsiye to fair play and friendship,
the young women in business and In
dustry have resented this patornal
attitude and patronage, and there has
been discovered within the associa-
ton need for the application of that
other root principle, the brotherhood
OF man; girls desiring to have real
part in this great organization.
AS we feel the pulse OF the great
industry movement OF the age, we see
the need of the young women in in-
dustry being led by wise, experienced
Christian women from their own
ranks. Through Its newborn child,
the Federation OF Industrial Clubs,
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation will train young women to

promote among girls of industry a
knowledge of matters concerning

Moreover, the entire organization

such Of Its membnrs as are engaged
therein, but through influence over

mands Of labor, Many employers
have been brought by the Young
Women's Christian Association TO see
more clearly their duty TO their en-
ployees in the way of provision of
better sanitary conditions, better
hours, and wages,
II has been the purpose of the fleld
industrial department to advance the
policy Of Federation Of Industrial
Clubs In every association ready for
1t and to stir all to consideration
OF Its claims. This has been accom-
plished through general publicity,
through field gatherings, by stimu-

the protecting shield of our country's
government, nor one in which nation
needed more the daily attention and
unwaverng support Of every dweller
within our borders. A great emergen-
cy affords supreme test Of our oiti-
zenship. If the lesson Of the time Is
lost. If there is a failure to manifest
new standards of loyalty and patriot
ism, 1t will be conclusive proof that
we are lacking that vitality as peo-
pie and that attachment to country
which are absolutely necessary for
the security and maintenance OF our
national life. Amid the din Of war,
in these days Of suffering and of voc,
the people must be aroused as never
before and thoroughly imbued with
the same love OF country which char
acterized the days from 1861 10 1865.
We hope that peace may still continue
its blessings among us, but if there is
to be war, then we must be prepared
for It. II peace continues, the ideals
and aspirations of our people must
dwell upon higher plane and with
a more fervent spirit Of self-saortfice
and cooperation. Our immediate duty
is to maintain our place among the
nations with dignity and with self
respect, and with insistence upon our
rights tempered by sympathy for the
unutterable suffering of those engaged
in this conflict. 1t is time to listen
to the Injunction of the old patriot Of
Switzerland. who said:
"Cleave TO thy fatherland, thy country
dear,
Graphic to that with thy whole heart
and soul.
Thy power is rooted deep and strongly
here"

equity on the part of the employers. 1t
is well recognized economic truth that
the price of labor is about the last to
advance. It is only after everything

Certainly the employers will take this
into consideration when they receive re-

creases in the payroll.
We are assured on every hand that
prosperity is here. Some of us may be
bit doubtful. 1t may not be visible to
every individual and casual eye. Yet
everybody talks prosperity, and 30 even
the dubious persons should assume that
prosperity is present, and that being so,
organized labor should make the most
of what is heralded as good year.
The employers are hopeful Of In
creased business. We should be hopeful
of increased membership and better
working conditions.
More Organizers Needed.
The man who sells things will send
out more men to spread the fame of his
wares. We should send out more or
ganizers to deplete the ranks of the un-
organized.
But in the end it is the individual
work that will count. If a union man
knows or hears of worker who is quail
flied to but does not belong to the or.
ganization of his craft it is the plain
dnty of that union man to bring the un-
organized one into the fold. 1t should
be and can be done by intelligent argu.
ment. The campaign of education which
will reach to every man cannot be start
ed too early in 1916.
The year promises well in other lines.
Let us make it show well in our line,
which is the line of organization. Then
