THIRD LEAGUE TALK PIFFLE,
BUT FILLS UP SPACE
BY Mark Shields

~ some quar- p6TS Talk OF a. IUiIQ
league is receiving serious consid- !
Grafton. Many fans and even a. few
magnates are disposed to look at the
proposition as something that may
take definite form before the open
ing Of the 1917'playing season.
Nothing could be more ridiculous.
Before talking of three major leagues
it might be a good idea for the peO-
pie directing the game to build up
two circuits with major qualifca-
lions. There were not two big
leagues in 1916 and there haven't
been for three or four years.
The American league has far out
classed the National, even In the
year when the Boston Braves ham
mered back the disintegrating Mack
men. That was the only pOst-sea-
son series the National has won for
some time, no matter what the posi-
ton Of the teams contesting.
And those mainly at fault have
been magnates of the National
league themselves, who have been
smal-visioned people, looking to the
immediate present, WIN no eye LOT
the future. No other policy can ac-
count for the Nationals 21-player
limit while the American allows each
club % athletes during the greater
part of the campaign.
This one feature, alone gives the
Johnson organization a great advan-
tage, which shows every time the
two leagues come together.
Until the National captains of
baseball industry can take their
clutches off the immediate penny and
have a look ahead to a possible dol
lar, their teams will continue at a
disadvantage. The American has the
greater proportion of stars such as
Speaker, Cobb, Jackson, Eddie Col
line and SchaIk, but its prestige is
largely a result Of the liberal pro

They have not been niggardly, as (
have the National owners.
This, of course, doesn't apply to all
Of the men at the head Of affairs in
the parent organization, but it does
hit a majority, or conditions would
not be as they are.
The lesson of the Federal league
has not been forgotten. It was i'm
possible to form three major leagues
then, and money was spent by the
Feds on larger scale than was ever
undertaken by insurgents before.
The warfare only served to enhance
the strength Of the American league
and reduced the efficiency of the Ma
tionaL
The present dream circuit, with
Kansas City on one end and Balti-
more on the other, would be an inn
possible affair from a mileage stand :
point, but lack of competent athletes
is the. main drawback. This third
major talk may serve to tighten
dull winter, but nothing viii come
Of it.
According to dealers in athletic
goods, the prices OF basebaIls viii adj
vance from 10 to so per cent next
spring. This hits amateur leagues
hard. Professional organizations,
which purchase on a large scale, may
be able to buy at the old prices be-
cause Of the large number of horse
hides they use. Manufacturers ex-
plain this rise in price by the scare
tty of materials. And. the war is
blamed.

David Garrick, the greatest Eng

living in the country who was an

George Pomeroy Goodale. A rich
neighbor, a grocer, being about to
visit London, this brother insisted on

the grocer went to the theater in the

home the country brother eagerly
inquired respecting the visit he had
been anxious to bring about.

ROOSEVELT MAY NOT

Makes Conditional Refusal.
Pending Statement OF
Hughes

Chicago, June lO.-The Progress

days tumult with but one purpose

Theodore Roosevelt for President
and a few hours later listened with
out protest to a message from Oys-
ter Bay that he would not accept

journed al 4:58 o'clock.
John M. Parker was one of the

ing on the Republicans. Speaking
in the convention he. opposed any
compromise that would sidetrack
Roosevelt and his every sentence
was cheered.
Nominate your man, and 20 be.
fore the people on a platform Of
Americdnism," he told the conven-
ton, and there was a roar Of cheers.
Colonel Rooseyelt's declination
was conditional and it was placed
in the hands of the Progressive
national committee to be held uhil
such time as statements to be made
by Justice Hughes. the nominee of
the Republican party, shall satisfy
the committee that it is for the in
terest of the country that he be
elected"
CONDITIONAL REFUSAL
Colonel Roosevelt's answer to the
Progressive convention follows:
The Progressive Convention: I
am very grateful for the honor you
confer upon me BY nominating me
as president. cannot accept it at
this time. l do not know the atti-
tude Of the candidate Of the
Republica party toward
the vital questions Of the day
Therefore. if you desire an immedi~
ate decision, l must decline the
nomination. But if you prefer it |
suggest that my conditional refusal
! to run be placed in the hands Of
the Progressive national committee.
If Mr.. Hughes statements. when he
makes them. shall satisfy the com.
mittee that it is for the interest OF
the county that he be elected. then
they can act accordingly and treat
my refusal as definitely accepted.
If they are not satisfied thew can so
notify the Progressive party and at
the same time they can confer with
me and then determine on what
ever action we may severally deem
appropriate to meet the needs of
the country.

this idea in life. Eqaully good was
the salutatory by Dorothy Peterson.
In the class will, read by Clifford
