WAR TAX ON BASE BALL
!. MAY PROVE NO BURDEN
Secretary Foster Of Giants Says
Magnates Need Nots tsWorry Over
It Next Season.

Secretary John B. Foster of the Giants
has compiled few statistics to show
that the war tax on railroad and Pull
a burden as some of the base ball club
owners have tried to emake out. AFR.
Foster points out THAI much of the
talk of the calamfty hou,Iers is ground
less and that the wan taxes on each
club will not be so lase.e as to make it
difficult for each team to shoulder the
burden.
The average mileage of a major
league base ball club during the season
is about II 900 miles. Pittsburgh usu-
ally has the greatest mileage, because
ii makes more trips to the western
cities for Sunday games than any OF
the other clubs. and the Pirates fig
ures usually go abou, 10000 miles
Secretary Foster figures that the per
cent tax on railroad faxes and the 10
per cent tax on Pullman tickets will
mean a cost of about sl.100 a season
for each club. So Uncle Sap1's tax on
the sixteen travelling base ball clubs OF
both major leagues next season will
amount to about $4,000.
An additional cost of more than $1,000
a club for the season is. according 10
Mr. Foster. nothing for the club own
efS to sit up nights worrying bout. AS
for additional costs at hotels, Mr.. Fos-
ter doubts If the prices Will be much
higher than they were last season. The
additional cost of base ball through
war taxes and the advanced cost OF
living, Mr.. Foster believes, can be met
easily by cutting the player limit to
eighteen or twenty players Mr.. Fos-
ter is an optimist concerning the con-
ditions in base ball. and although the
clubs will be hit hard through the
draft, he sees no reason W hy the clubs
cannot go right along with the players

The Angels were in the field with two

Would Help Weak Clubs.
From other unofficial sources comes
the claim that the reduction is advo-
Gated by certain clubs. the pennant
chances of which would be greatly
strengthened If other formidable op-
ponents were forced to cut down their
PLAYING staffs to conform to the pro-
posed requirements.
The adoption of the rule would also
require. in all probability. a change in
the national agreemen, which at the
present time places a maximum limit
of twenty-five players upon the clubs
of the American and National Leagues
during the greater portion of the play
ing season. This is further reduced to
twenty-five in the case of the National
League through a regulation in force
in the senior organization. while the
American League holds to twenty-five.
One base ball authority brings out
the point that the cost of maintaining 6
big league team has increased tre-
mendously in the past twelve months
and is likely to advance still further
during the season of 1918. The charges
for hotel accommodations and meals,
both on the trains and while playing
in rival cities, have reached figures
far beyond those existing in previous
years. The war tax alone on railroad
and Pullma nreservations will add
something like IS per cent to
the transportation charges of travel
ing teams.

siderable less than the number of play

cut down large tree and bring it into town followed by the populace, who danced and sang as the tree was dragged through the streets to the public square. There it was set up and garlanded with flowers and streamers. Sometimes flags were used as decoration. At one time a May Pole set up in Chester, England, had for it's decoration the St. George red cross with a white pennant or stream CT emblazoned with a red cross term mating like the blade of a sword.
 May Poles Ordered Down.
 There is some controversy as to whether the May Pole had it's origin in England or France, but it is certain that both countries had them during the early part of the seventeenth cen- tury for at that time sort of wave of puritanisn swept over both coun- tries and for a time May Poles were forbidden. An Act was passed by the English Parliament in 1644, ordering all May Poles removed as they were menace to church worship. May Poles were not permitted to be erected again until after the Restora- tion In France Charles I, in 1633 decided that May Poles tended to keep the people from divine service and were detriment to religion. sc

 The Department of Military Relief Is comparatively new, having been the direct result of the 'tPreparedness'' movement. The object of it's crea- ton was to furnish the machinery by which the American Red Cross would carry out the purpose of its charter so far as concerned the furnishing of volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in war and as medium of communication between the people of the United States and their Army and Navy.
 The organizations created by the Red Cross to assist the medical Serv- ice of the Army and Navy in time of war are usually spoken of as military units. Of these the most important is the base hospital because, being To- cated at the military base behind the service at the front, it is the first real hospital encountered by the wounded soldier in his journey from the firing line toward home. There for the first time he finds a good bed and a trained nurse.

the May Poles came down, and the French people had to content them selves for a time with going to the woods and bringing in branches with which they decked their homes. Even May Day dancing was prohibited for a time.
 The planting and decorating of May Poles are known as far back as 1499, when the poles were frequently adorned with small gilded pennants. Som etimes a flower pot filled with posies was placed on the top. Many of the Poles in the early days were painted blue and white and kept standing from season to season, be- ing repainted early in the spring of each year. London had many May Poles before the wave of Puritanism swept over the country. Many par ishes vied with each other in the height and decoration of the poles.
 Famous Poles.
 The most famous English May Pole was erected just after the Restoration, when in 1861, the populace had a great May Day joIlidcation by erecting tall pole in the most conspicuous part of the Strand. It was brought in from the country in triumph, with music and drum beating. It was raised by seamen who were sent for
