FAMOUS TRACK GOES
 UNDER THE HAMMER
Andy Welsh Fails to Pay His Taxes May Buy Property
 Back.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 15-The, Read ville track, where Grand Circuit meetings were held till found unprofit- able, few years ago, was bid in by the town of Dedham yesterday for taxes. Andrew J. Welch. a well Known horseman, owner of the track had failed to pay s745.2O taxes on valuation of S4O,5OO.
 The auction was held by Charles A. Turner, the town tax collector, and there were no bidders. Welch bought the property in 1909 from the New England Trotting Horse Breeders association Part of the track lies in the Hyde Park district of Boston, so that the sale today is a more or less formal matter Welch can buy his property back at any time within two years, by paying the taxes an ac- cumulated interest. If he should be able to interest horsemen with cap- 1tal enough to support meetings there in the future it would be an easy matter for the track to be acquired without excessive cost. What Welch's intentions are could not be ascertain ed today.

The Message of the Bush League. My boy, you are now where the
 game runs fast Your eye is keen and your arm is
 strong; .... Your place is high in the major cast Where only those in their prime be-
 long; You have the youth and you have the
 dream Of fame to be that will never die; Your days are long with the winning team And you look on me with a sneering
 eye. My boy, you are now where the
 dream is sweet; You have the speed and you have the
 stuff; A star in the Land of the Tying Feet. You have the drive that is more than
 bluff; oh, the game is great when the game
 is young And the g.ow is still on the winning Before the fame of the field is sung And you still hold to the smashing
 pace. But the years go fast and the dream
 dies out; For Youth is brief in the land of play; And a Hull soon comes to the cheering
 shout That came to you in a younger day; For the day comes soon when you
 start back home With those who drift through the
 outbound gates; And back at last where the Has,
 Beens roam, You thank your God that the Bush
 League waits.

 The various shake-ups that have happened in the last few weeks have been a, great thing for the sport.

In each instance home people took over the two clubs, and this is always best for the sport Jim Gaffney proved to be 6 high class sportsman, but for all that it is better that Boston men own the Boston club. And Weeghman's rule in Chicago is sure to regain the oldtime prestige of the Cubs.

To Exist.

Baseball, to hold it's high place, must be conducted properly to draw big crowds where the lure. of such sports as tennis and golf is attracting nearly two million sport lovers. Thousands of these, who were begin ming to desert baseball, will switch at least part of their allegiance back to the N. P. now that conditions will be improved. But baseball can no longer afford any such muddling as the cam raigns of 1914 and 1915 brought about.

Baseball is som mething more than sport it is a national institution. It wavered and reeled badly for a spell but today the game Is on the firmest foundation it has ever known. With only two major leagues, there will not only be faster baseball, but interest will no longer be divided, and the eternal squabbling and pickering which so disgusted the general public will be thing of the past.
