No Further Mutations.

When the late Russian ambassador,
Count Benckendorff, lay on his death
bed, the London newspapers were
keenly interested in his condition. One
reporter, somewhat more persistent
than his rivals, made almost hourly
trips to the embassy TO receive bed
side bulletins. Each time he appeared
he was informed by a majestic Eng
lish nunky in gold lace that there was
"rahly no chynge in his excellency's
condition. Quite nothing to report
After about six weary rounds between
his office and the embassy, the report
err became suspicious of the monotony
of the buffers reply, and said he'd just

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

Grantland Rice says that the influ-
ence of money upon sport is bound to
be bad There is no way out. AS long
rs gate receipts continue to grow there
Is 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 n run of smaller gate re-
ceipts. When admissions run up to
5000 and 10000 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
Mt all out of the ordinary in all this,
since the same conditions exist in
every branch of existence. 1t only
seems worse in q 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 its way out, just
as various other trades have to scram
BILE along, with q 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 {
shame that a great game should b.
married by loud and raucous debat,
over the division of the spoils, bu
there are a number of things in thi
world that seem to be a shame tina
can't be averted.

had tried to purchase from the Pirates

The confidence shown in Schultz by
Moran indicates that he still has sew
