STORIES

Only thing that can break some
teams losing streak is rain.
Sitting on a baseball bench isn't as
bad as sitting on park bench.
There is many a pitching corps that
should be spelled with an sc" on the
end.
Jimmy Callahan, the Pirates mana
ger, is laying the groundwork for
good ball club.
Cicotte is the winning pitcher of the
White Sox. So far Benz has been
disappointment.
What would President Navin of the
Tigers pay for a pitcher like Ray
Caldwell just now?
The way Fred Merkle is playing for
the Cubs is one of the big reasons why
the Dodgers are getting licked.
For not being a recognized football
player, Johnny Evers plays the great
est kicking game in either league.
Infielder Tom FitZsimmons, drafted
from Butte, Mont, last fall, has been
reinstated by the national commission.
George Sisler is demonstrating the
fact that a college athletic education
is no handicap to professional ball
player.
It is understood that Manager Mack
of the Athletics viii give Shortstop
Rodgers of the University or West Vir-
ginia a trial.
Philadelphia fans, naturally, can't
see why anybody should enthuse over
the Cardinals and the Cubs, after what
Morans team did to those two West
ern delegations.
Manager Callahan of the Pirates is
trying to secure First Baseman
Butch" Schmidt, who still belongs TO
the Braves, but has been in retire
ment since 1915.

shipped to the minors, and expected
to stay there for good and all.
Though Gavvy's legs are not capable
Of doing the work they once did, his
murderous bat is still on the job and
his batting eye is just as keen as ever.
Pat Moran would be glad to see a
faster and snappier fielder holding
down right garden, but Pat cannot see
his way clear to sacrifice Cravath's
hitting ability for younger pair of
legs and a much weaker bludgeon.
In Dode Paskert the Phillies have
another veteran. Dode is now playing
his seventh season as member of the
Pills, and he bids fair to be seen in a
Philly uniform for several more sea-
sons if his playing this year can be
taken as an indication of just how
fast" he is going back.
Paskert, unlike most ball players
past thirty-fve-he will be thirty-siX
in August-has not lost the youthful
springiness and vigor of his legs. He
is still as fast and sure on his under
pinning as many of the younger play
ers who come up, and although he is
not the hitter that Cravath is, he can
still sting the apple for a seasons
average around .275. He hit .279 last
season. and so far this year he has
been hitting between $50 and .27O,
with his hitting being done in streaks.
Like all of the veterans, Paskert may
be expected to brush up his batting
with hot weather here to stay.
Where can you find two grand old
vets-and both outfielders-WhO have
anything on Cravath and Paskert? 1t

MONEY MAKERS HURT SPORTS
Trouble Arises Between Owner and
Player When Discussion of Re-
ceipts Is Taken Up.

Grantland Rice says that the infiu-
ence of money upon sport is bound to
be bad There is no way out. AS long
as gate receipts continue to grow there
is a certainty of i'll feeling at hand
between those who pay and those who
play 1t has been suggested that in
baseball a good many years ago there
was far. less trouble between magnate
and player This is true. But there
was also a run of smaller gate re-
ceipts. When admissions run up to
5000 and 10000 a day and the pot in
creases, trouble is sure to keep pill
ing up. The player wants to make all
he can get. The owner wants to get
all he can make, both sides having the
true human touch. There is nothing
at all out of the ordinary in all this,
since the same conditions exist in
every branch of existence. 1t only
seems worse in a game, for everyone
likes to think that sport is divorced
from financial consideration, whereas
in this country sport and the love of
watching sport have been capitalized
to the limit The only way out would
be to abolish all gate receipts. And
this is no way out, for then there
would be no daily baseball. So base
ball will have to fight it's way out, just
as various other trades have to scram-
BILE along, with a few breathing spells
between trouble. Big money has come
to the game, and big money means big
trouble when discussion of the proper
split arises. 1t may seem to be a
shame that great game should be
married by loud and raucous debate
over the division of the spoils, but
there are number of things in this
world that seem to be sharA that
can't be averted.

Woman Happiest at Forty.

The happy, joyous age of woman
kind is not sweet sixteen, neither is it
twenty-five nor thirty, but between
the fortieth and fiftieth milestones of
life, according to Mrs. Herbert J. Cur
ney, president of the State Federation
of Women's clubs, says the Boston
Post.
While many matrons giggled and
some actually laughed outright, Mrs.
Quincy explained the situation as fol-
lows:
"The right age for women is be-
tween forty and fifty" she said. "A
woman of that age can talk to a man,
and if he is a good man he doesn't
think you are trying to fiirt with him."
Mrs. Quincy concluded by adding
that sit is a good thing to be a good,
middle-aged woman"

HOW TO BORROW BILLIONS
Government Can Sell More Bonds
Than There Is Money in Circula-
ton in Entire Country.

How, it may be asked, can the pres
ident borrow S7,OO0,OO0,000 when there
is not that much money in the entire
country? The answer is that it will
not all be borrowed at one time in
one lump sum. Portions of it will be
borrowed at different times, and soon
after one portion has been borrowed
1t will be speut, and those who receive
it can lend it again, says e. S. Forman
in st. Nicholas.
This can be made clear by an Illus
tration: Mr.. Smith, d shoe merchant,
has $500, which he wishes to lend to
Uncle Sam. He gives the government
the cash in the form of 5000 bill.
and receives in return bond Ga prom
issory note) for $500. Shortly after
this transaction Uncle Sam buys from
Mr.. Smith $500 worth of shoes for the
soldiers and pays for them, let us say,
with the Identical $500 bill which he
borrowed from Mr.. Smith. Now ii
Uncle Sam is still borrowing money,
Mr.. Smith, if he desires to do so, can
lend his $500 bill to the government
second time, and receive in exchange
a second bond for $500. Thus our $500
bill has served as the means of bOr-
rowing $1,000 OF course, by repeat
ing the transaction often enough, the
$500 bill could be used for borrowing
many thousands of dollars.

Pooling War Photographers.

one result of the use of wholesale
photography in the war zone has been
TO introduce the new element of de-
ceptive scenery and dummy gun posi-
tons into warfare. Such false posi-.
tons are built exactly to resemble real
gun emplacements. It is said that in
France today out of four objects that
are apparently concealed batteries as
recorded by the camera, only one con-
tains real guns. The others are set up
especially for the benefit Of enemy
photographers.

Legislature to Wind Up in Ten
Days to Give Governor Chance
to Dispose of Bills.
BILLS READY FOR GOVERNOR
Will Adjourn Sine Die as Soon as Elk
ecutiVe Passes on Measures
Senate Backs Pres
ident

MadisOE.-The great work of the
Wisconsin legislature has been COM
pleted and the curtain rung down, al
though the formal adjournment will
come in ten days.
Commencing with Monday evening
both houses will meet nominally each
day, but no business will be transact
ed, except the receipt of bills from the
governor. The last work of the legis-
lature was concluded when the senate
adopted the Chapple substitute amend
ment pledging the loyalty of this state
to President Wilson In the war.
There are upwards of so bills in the
hands Of the state printer or with the
enrolling clerks, to be submitted to the
governor. AS soon as the governor
passes upon these bills the legislature
will adjourn sine die.
Speaker Whittet has announced the
appointment of members on the in
term committees on social insurance
and marketing. These committees
will make an investigation of these
subjects during the next two years
Il
sion of the legislature with bills for
legislation. On the committee on So
cial insurance Speaker Whittet has
appointed Assemblymen w. L. Smith
OF Clark county, Donnelly and Oil of
Milwaukee. On the committee to in
vestigate the subject of marketing, the
following assemblymen were appoint
ed: II. J. Grell of Johnson Creek,
Charles D. Rosa, Beloit, and Riley H.
Young of Walworth.
The closing hours of the active ses-
sion of the legislature were marked
with some feeling of bitterness be-
tween the two houses. The senate has
criticized the assembly for not passing
strong resolutions backing up Presi-
dent Wilson. The assembly has criti-
cized the senate for defeating q resolu-
ton which would place the burden of
cost during the war upon the incomes
and the swollen fortunes of the
state.
The senate sustained the veto of
Governor Philip on the Bray bill ap-
propriating 100000 for extensions at
the home for predetermined at Union
Grove. The governor has uniformly
vetoed appropriation bills which he
thought could be delayed. This was
the reason given in his message.
The following statement of appro-
priatiOns as passed by the 1917 legisla-
ture was given by Senator Platt Whit
man, chairman Of the joint finance
committee:

Men to Fix Routes.

Men to FIX Routes
Governor Phillip named the two
senator's and the three assemblymen
who are to have the final saysO in fix
ing routes of the federal state aid
trunk line highway system. The new
body is officially termed the special
state trunk highway commission" The

cast for governor at the last election
petition for such action, this legiSla-
tive commission will hold public hear
ings to review the tentative routes laid
out by the regular state highway COM
mission Their decision will be final.
1t took two hours of the assembly's
time to settle the peddlerS' license
question. Assemblyman SchiewitZ,
Milwaukee, had introduced an amend
ment providing that peddlers might
pay their license fee quarterly instead
of annually. This amendment had
been adopted and reconsideration was
asked. 1t took over an hours time TO
strike this amendment out of the bill.
Then three or four amendments were
offered. An amendment by Riley
Young, Waukesha county, providing
for the inspection of shows and their
license, was adopted. The bill as then
amended was concurred in. The vote
on the final passage was 81 to 35.
Special Committees.

creation of a state marketing commits
sion were announced. Committee 70
