Ban Johnson Pays High Tribute to
Star Who Is Leaving
the Big Show.

Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, gave a little dinner in New
York last week. On his right, as a
guest of honor. sat Napoleon Lajoie.
For fifteen years the great batsman has
been humping American League pitch
ers. and now. at the age of forty one
he is passing out. But he is not through
as player by any means. Next season
he will manage and play second base
for the Toronto team.
| 1t is not often that a player or man.
ager is called to break bread with a
league executive. Ban meets most OF
his athletes ION the carpet" for he. is
ia strict disciplinarian. But this was a
special occasion. Lajoie grew up with
the American League He was one OF
the players who cast his fortunes with
Johnson back in 1902. and since then
ne has compiled remarkable record
Jim McCaffrey, Lajoie's new employer,
was talking
| Mr.. Johnson he said. the Toronto
| club is going to celebrate a Lajoie day
at Toronto some time along in June. 1t
would please me beyond words If you
could be there as my guest and tell
! Larry
johnson looked thoughtfully at the
!
a full minute before he replied. Before
| Bans gaze the swarthy giant dropped
his eyes. Big Larry. callous to excite
ment on the base ball field, looked as if
| he wanted to dive under the table.
| johnson arose.
| Mr.. McCaffrey,' he began, you ask
me if I'll be there. l should say l will.
! In the picturesque language of our
| friend, Capt. Huston here, you go bet
your shirt I'll be there"
| Big Ban fairly beamed on La iOie, who
| was mentally calculating the distance
| to the door.
Credit to Base Ball.
Il want to say to you all here and
now" Johnson went on, that Mr..
! Lajoie was always a credit to base
ball. More than that, he was Won
derful asset to the American League.
l am proud to meet him at any time,
| willing to admit that he is an American
League institution, and happy to be-
| stow any public compliment on him.
You can count on me being in Toronto
| on Lajoie day. and l hope to be accom-
panied by a representative of the Ma
| tional League, for Lajoie doesn't belong
| to any one league. He belongs to all.
| I've wanted to tell Mr.. Lajoie this
for long time. but when a man is so
| close to you and still in harness such
words. Now that Larry is standing
apart from us we can tell him what we
| think of him. No player ever gave me
| less trouble. l don't remember that ]
ever had to impose strict disciplinary
measures on Lajoie. At least not in
late years. l tell you we hate to part
with him
Ban sat down and Lajoie, without
getting to his feet. replied:
Yes, you had to hand it to me a
n ne
but I'm not saying that l didn't get
what ! deserved. We lose control of
ourselves in the heat of the game
sometimes. l have known for a long
time that the American League was
run right. I'm sorry TO leave, but l.
can't expect to stick around forever.
If you come to our little celebration in
Toronto I'll consider it the greatest
compliment L was ever paid as a base
ball player"
And still they say there's no senti-
ment in base ball.

Soldier Boys Are
 Being Fed In Best City Dining Room

Uncle Sam has had difficulty in feeding his troops in this city under emergency. The 75 cents a day ra- ton, when not in camp got an awful jolt from the high cost -of-liying scale, effective in restaurants.
 Officers of the First Ambulance company, c. N. G., whose mess-gear and camp equipment had gone for ward under orders for mobilization, which were later countermanded to hold the men here until sometime to- morrow, would have gone hungry if the patriotic Grecian born citizens had not come to the front.
 Officers of the unit declared today that they had searched the city for a suitable place to feed their 160 re- cruits. They finally arranged at the Fairfield Restaurant on Fairfield ave- nue to feed the squad.
 The boys are living we'll on the army ration under Greek catering. even having walters to bring them their food. The menu last. night was beef broth, roast beef and mash ed potatoes, pudding and coffee. To- night this will be varied with split pea. soup, and breaded veal outlets

Priests Petition
 Cardinal To Permit Them To Go To War

New York, July 27-The work of the New York chapter of the Knights of Columbus in providing equipment designed for the recreation of Catho- lie soldiers in training camps was praised by Cardinal Farley in a let ter he has sent to Edward A. Arnold, chairman of the chapter. The car dinal said he had received from the New York diocese more applications from priests wishing to volunteer as chaplains than was necessary to fill the positions.
 t'To supply the equipment neces- sary, if the work of the chaplains in the army is to be effective" said Car dinaI Farleys letter, 'is gigantic task, and it's successful accomplish ment will make the entire nation a debtor to the Knights of Columbus. Experience has demonstrated the in- dispensaible need of effective moral safeguards to save the individual sol dier from spiritual ruin, and the arm ed forces enlisted in the nations de- fense from developing into a menace to the health of her future citiens The priest who accompanies the sol dier as guide, companion and friend carries no arms, but he faces all the hardships and dangers of a campaign, and is constantly engaged in fighting

COTTON MILLS MAY GO
 ON SHORT TIME

Manchester, England, July 27-The question of putting the Lancashire Cotton Mills on short time is causing a good deal of anxiety among the op- eratives.
 There are at present in England 55,00O,000 spindles, 47,000,000 of which are controlled by the Spinners Federation and 100000 by the Cot ton Spinners and Manufacturers as- sociation. This leaves about 4,000,0 spindles outside the federation to take advantage of any Limitations that the members af the federation impose upon themselves. It is this fact which prevented the voluntary adoption of any short time by the federation when it was recommended to the members, and when it would have been less hurtfu1 to the trade than it is likely to be now under more drastic restrictions.
 The Manchester Guardian says:
 s'The growth and importance of the cotton industry may be judged from the fact that the output of the mills in addition to providing for our home reauirernens, represents about a third of-our total exports of manufac- lures. -s. The cotton crops of the world average about 20,00O,000 bales, and in normal times, England, with con- siderably over one-third of the spin dies of the world, consumes annual ly 100000 bales of cotton If, there fore, there is a big reduction in the supply of cotton coming to this coun- trys and the price is inflated by spec ulation, it become impossible to keep the mills running at full time.
 There is something to be said for | the view that even our poorest GUS
 toners in India, China, and Africa are
 able to pay more for cotton goods than they do in normal times; be-
 cause the crops they produce are
 bringing much better prices. It is [also a fact that until recently cotton I goods were not dear in comparison Still, the fact remains that the pres Eent range is very bad for trade. I "In addition to that, the adversity in the cotton trade immediately in- jures the bleaching, printing, dyeins
 and finishing industries. There are
 thousands of workers in those :, branches and, like weavers and spin
 ners, they have to submit to reduced
 earnings. Miners and transport work CTS too are affected. Thousands o1 tons of coal which the factories con-
 sume when running are left in the Ecoal fields, railway labor is conse- qeutnly reduced and the carrying
 companies are forced to be idle. Any interference with the requisite supply of cotton to the mills means, indeed a big loss to nearly all the workers in Lancashire as we'll as to the capi- talists, professional and shopkeepine classes"

Residents of Golden Hill Condemn City's
 Sprinkling Methods

Residents of Golden Hill are com p1aining about the administrators methods of street sprinkling. which they say is worse than no sprinkling at all It is claimed the auto sprink- Ter goes at high speed through the streets, covering the ground just once. This only serves to raise the dust and send it flying into neighbor- ing houses.
 Taxpayers think the sprinkler should go over a street more than once to properly wet the surface.
 They can see little benefit from paying sprinkling assessments if the dust nuisance is only aggravated, as 1t is under the present system.
