the banks Of the river reminding one

Mrs. Green might not need much en-

INTERESTING FACTS OF EARLY
 DAYS OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBA Expenses of the League From 1875
 Were $475.5o-Receipts Were $e21N.

New York. Feb. PA number of in teresting references were made to the early days of professional baseball at the recent Anniversary Dinner' of the National league in New York city. None attracted greater attention than the reading of the finances of the se- nfor organization for it's initial year.
 The report showed that the receipts of the leagce amounted to $821.82 Each of the eight clubs forming the association contributed one hundred dollars and a sporting goods firm the remainder.
 The expenses of the league for the year 1875 was $475.50 leaving a bal ance of $346.32. The chief item of ex- pense was the salary of $400 paid tS Nick Young, who served as secretary and treasurer, during the first year of the leagues existence. ostage ac- counted for $17.25 with stamps costing three cents in those days. Stationary amounted to $20.45; score sheets $6.55; record book $4-50, and a post office box S4.75. There were a few stray items for telegrams, pins and other office appurtanceS< but no mention of rent.
 AS opposed to this statement the financial report of the National Base bass commission for 1914 gives an ex- cellent idea of the growth of the busi- ness end of the game. The National League in 1875 was the dominating factor in baseball just as the Nation al Commission is the supreme court of the game today. At the end of 1913 the National Commission had a bal ance of S27,709.03. The receipts from all sources during 1914 amounted to S1,955.12 giving a total of $69, 9,664.15. Owing to the baseball ar and other unusual and unsettled conditions the expenses of the commission were far above normal. The books show that during 1914 the disbursements of the commission amounted to $5S,17S.O9 leaving balance of $1.4S5.07 with which to start 1915.
 These expenses, which were rouhly three times larger than in 1911, cover a large field of activity such as Nick Young never dreamed of and were Cue to the growth af the fame and the conflict that waged for its control. The National Commission paid $26,21712 for salaries and $14,24S39 for legal fees alone in 1914. Advertising and the expenses of members of the commits sion cost $3.271; and $3,542.O6 respec lively. Stationary, printing and type. writing service ran up to S1,092.O2. or
 flee rent was SPAS and postage s428 as against SIPS for the National league in 1875. These figures testify mute1y to the development of Ameri- ca's national sport

Letter to the sportino Editor

Taftville, Conn, Feb. 21, 1916
 Sporting Editor-As secretary of the Taftville basketball club, I am com pelled to comment on the recent game in Willimantic last Friday night.
 The Willimantic Chronicles com ments on the game, states that Cap tain Murphy did more damage with his tin whistle and his dollar watch than he would have done had he been playing.
 We will take it for granted that it was tin whistle and a dollar watch, but we feel sure that it was held by a one in the world can distrust his honesty. He attended right down to timekeeping while George Shepaum whom they claim is so honest was looking for a fight every time as Taftville man got a basket.
 From the fact that we were warned by the Willimantic fans that the Elm eralds robbed a game recently from the All New Britains by making them play three minutes overtime, made us keep tabs on the time. and even more so when they run one minute over time in the first half of the game.
 After being on the heels of the Elm eralds for the last six weeks for a game, and offered to play them for any amount of money, they now are handing us the worst piece of crooked work ever handed any team repre- senting this town.
 Why. Manager Roy had to stay in Willimantic until the last car to get a paltry guarantee of $15 which was re- fused him after the game.
 Now they have got cold feet and refuse to come to Taftville, unless Taftville gives them another game in Willimantic Friday night. Some nerve after drawing for them the largest crowd they ever had.
 Just think what would have hap pened if Captain Murphy and Stanley, two mainstays of the team had been in the game. The score would have been SO high that they would have tried to make them play all night to try and catch up with the Taftville boys.
 I must say that the Willimantic fans can surely be proud of such a bunch of quitters.
 Please take out your pencil and fig ure from twenty-seven minutes of the hour to three minutes of the hour with two and one-half minutes out for time out.
 This game will go down on records of the Taftville team and the minds of the honest fans attending as a win for Taftville by the score of 27 to 25.

suffering from a gash in his scalp, which was treated by a surgeon.
 We were in the second coach," said OTBrien in relating their experiences. NThe train was running about twenty minutes behind schedule time. When the collision occurred our Pullman seemed to rise in the air and then was carried over on an angle of 45 de- grees. A cement upright prevented the car from toppling down the em- bankment.
 The steel construction of the car undoubtedly saved the lives of the passengers. The force of the collision was terrific"
 O'Brien, Fitzpatrick and Corey found a Mrs. Harmon and her three small children in one of the coaches. The mother was suffering from a scalp wound and the two younger children were cut about the face. The third escaped uninjured. The three men took Mrs. Harmon and the children to a farmhouse, where they hired sleigh and drove them to Milford From Milford they took a trolley to Bridgeport
 Giie and Harbison said the most sig nificant thing about the wreck to them was when the engineer of the freight train, running past their train, blew his whistle continuously for two min utes.
 Tt seemed to me- said Gile, that he knew the local was about to craSl' into us and was signalling the engit neer of that train. I turned to Harbi- son and asked what the racket was for and a moment later came the crash.
 When we got outside we heard a man grooming beneath the wrecked car, Then we saw him wriggling out from beneath His movements were very slow and as we stopped to aid him we saw that he was dragging a woman after him. We pulled them both out and I saw the woman's scalp was torn almost from her head.''

CLAIMS FRANK GoTcH
 IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
So Says Dow Williams, the Heavy weight Wrestler's Former Manager.

Dow Williams, who managed Frank Gotch back in 1905. says that Frank Gotch, the heavyweight wrestling cent interview he gave some of his reasons. Williams and Gotch were boys together in Humboldt and if any body is enabled to speak authoritative ly about the champion grappler, Will Hams is.
 q spent last New Years day at Franks big ranch at Humboldt, Ia., and the old boy looked just as good to me then as he ever did" said Will Hams. That is, he looked tip top as far as external conditions go. He told me that right then he weighed about 227 pounds, stripped, which is about 15 or 16 pounds more than he weighed in his matches with Hackenschmidt. He will probably not train down much below 220 ever again, which would be about the weight at which he would meet Stecher. Gotch packs surplus weight in odd places. He never puts an ounce on his waist and he looks just as hard and straight there as in the old days when one of his favorite tricks was to crack English walnuts on his stomach with his bare fist. Where he takes on weight is over the shoulders.
 1IOW Olu IS IOlCn. DOH yOu DS- heve any of those folks who tell you he is older than he admits. Just as he says, he will be 39 years old this March, the 27th day. There would be no way for Frank Gotch to lie about his age and get away with it. He has lived all his life in and around Hum boldt, where he is now director of a bank and one of its heaviest deposit ors, and he knows that the home folks have the dope on him.
 He was reared half mile west of Humboldt, and my folks lived half a
 mile north. Frank and I have worked on threshing crews together and l have been with him in most of the principal events of his life. I went back to help bury his father in 1912.
 twill Gotch meet Stecher? Maybe, if there is enough money to be had in it, but it's a cinch he won't for the ordinary purses that he has had. or for any ordinary money. If he meets Stecher there will have to be a lot of money in it. Stecher's managers wouldn't let him cover the $25,0O0 check Frank posted with a Kansas City paper last fall, insisting that the boy wait year. Stecher wanted to cover it, though. I'll say that for the kid, and from what l hear-I have never seen him-he is a cyclone. Ed die Smith, sporting editor of the Chi cago American, told me the boy was gave me when l asked him if he thought Stecher would beat Frank, so you see what it means.
 Do I think he could beat Stecher? Let me tell you that if Frank is with in 10 per cent of being as good a man as he was five years ago Stecher won't beat him. He had the most wonder full defense of any wrestler that ever lived.
 They tell me Stecher is a regular whirlwind for aggressiveness, but that's just what Frank always used to like, and unless Stecher changes his tactics, Gotch will, I should say, beat him quick He probably will change and make Frank do most of the work"
