Players VIII Have to Conane Efforts.

Players VIII Have to Coniine Efforts.
Business and sport do not mix in
professional baseball. This has been
one of the taking points of those who
are trying TO purify amateur athletics.
and it has brought to light the fact
that ball players in the ma ior leagues
will not be allowed to have a side line
this season.
1t was openly charged last year that
the White SoX lost an opportunity to
win a pennant because one of the
players had a business as a side line.
The reason advanced was that the
player in question worried so much
over his business that his playing was
adversely affected, and that game
after game was lost in consequence.
The writing for newspapers by play
ers has been considered purely a bust
ness by President Johnson, of the
American League, and he has decreed
that ball players will have to do one
thing or the other They cannot serve
two masters. There is likely to be an
awful howl from the players when
they are told TO cut out business if
they expect TO draw fancy salaries for
their skill on the diamond.

When John married Theresa he did
so against his mothers wishes, for
she had selected aKtie for him be-
cause aKtie had more money. Con-
sequently, according to Theresa's
tale, when John had gone to work in
the morning his mother would say:
''Fido, get me a cup of coffee. Poo
die, wash the dishes" Not this alone,
but Theresa declares that Katie
would sen dover to Johns mother
her new dresses and hats and the
mOther-in-law would put them on
and strut up and down before The
resa.
This is how Johns wife would
have looked if he had married Katie"
she would taUnt.
John finally took Theresa to an
other home, but they complain this
did not end the problem, for, arrayed
in Katie's new spring hat. Johns
mother walked along the street in
front of Theresa's new home and
called to her: "This is how Johns
wife would have looked if he had
married Katie"

jurisdiction over the mOther-in-law,

AS the youth left the desk with his
