Eastern Football
Leaders Opposed
To Pro- League

NEW YORK, n. Y.-Eastern foot:
ball authorities are extremely doubt
Iful regarding the financial success OF
professional football league backed
by baseball magnates or in fact any
similar Organization. While any and
all the big league club arrangements
stand ready to rent the baseball parks,
during the off season, to responsible
parties there is not the slightest evil
dence that the magnates would delve
into their money bags and bring forth
the coin necessary to establish a
league of elevens, such as has been
suggested In the Middle West.
Professional football is nothing new
in the East and the financial frost
that followed its introduction in this
section has not been forgotten, des-
pite the fact that it is II years since
the scheme was first tried out in the
state of Pennsylvania. The game of
football is so peculiarly interviewer
with college and school traditions and
sentiment that ii fails to flourish in
any other soil. This was clearly de-
monstrated in the early nineties when
professional elevens and league
were established in Pennsylvania with
teams playing for Pittsburg, Philadei-
phia, Latrobe Homestead and Green
burg. E.... -
The eastern college football field
was finecombed for star players just
graduated and the personnel of the
various elevens read like an AlI-Amer-
lean combination Salaries ranging
from $500 to $500 per season were
paid with all expenses and hospital
treatment guaranteed in case of acct
dent Famous players were attracted
by the big money offered and the
teams played football of the most
thrilling and ultra type Among those
who figured in the professional games
we're the Indian brothers Bemis and
Hawley Pierce, Dave Fultze, ROLLER,
later wrestler; Gafnmons, Wallace
and many more, some of whom had
been selected for All-American teams
while still undergraduates. -.
The first few games drew fairly
large gatherings of spectators, but the
novelty soon wore off and the attend
anee rapidly dropped away until at
the end of the season the hackers OF
the clubs were forced to go into their
pockets TO make up the deficit. Off.
GERS of the Philadelphia American and
National League clubs financed the
Quaker city teams while the big steel
companies and athletic clubs were in
terested in the other elevens of the
group. which continued for two or
three years. with constantly changing
combinations, before the promoters
finally gave up the struggle for popu
lar support,

THE RAepAp vIcroRY.

By the capture of the city of Bagdad from the Turks, the British have not only retrieved the honors lost when General Townshend was defeated, forced to retreat and finally to sur render. They have done even more for they have captured one of the inn portant Turkish centers in that part of Asia Minor and have apparently thrown the Turkish forces into con- fusion and that promises to be one of the greatest results of the whole achievement.
 Where the British will stop, or be stopped, is by no means indicated by the reports that are coming from General Maude, for not only are the Turks fleeing in the same sort of dis order that has been apparent since they lost Kut-el-Amara but the Rus sians are showing an activity which is meeting with much the same sort of success that is attending the Brit lish and it cannot be long before there will be a union of those forces.
 The loss of Bagdad is therefore a serious blow to the Turks. It is one of the important victories sn that part of the war zone and the broken mo- raIe of the Turks places that empire in a serious position, which cannot fail to give Constantinople and the central powers as well much concern as to what the outcome is going to be. Certainly Turkey is going to require all the resources in men and equip ment that 1t can muster to check this menace in the east for it is not simply a falling back by the Ottoman troops but a complete rout, which should put an end to that dream of German dom ina.ion from the North sea to the Per sian gulf.
