Baseball Men Patriotic and
No Support Given Pro
posal Made by American
League President.
Many Men From the Big
Leagues Serving With the
Colors = Ban Will No
Longer Be the Gear Of the
Baseball World.
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

New York, Nov. 23.-Ban Johnson's
position as GEAR of baseball" was
challenged today as never before since
he became president Of the American
league. 1t is obvious that Johnson
will not run the entire works next
month when the big leagues get down
to the annual meeting. Troubles of
minor leagues and baseball in general
will come up at these meetings, but
on the face of things as they now
stand, it appears" Johnson will not
have full say in settlement.
Well informed followers of the game
pointed to the scathing statements of
Governor Tener and others highly con-
nected with baseball, reproaching
Johnson for his now famous baseball
exemption statement.
BASEBALL PATRIOTIC.
Baseball has shown itself to be pa
triotic so far.
President Dunn Of the Cleveland
club, whose team has suffered most
heavily from the draft, has not uttered
a whimper. In fact, he has offered his
entire construction company to the
government. He is a contractor of
some proportions. He has lost nine
men to the army from his club and
others from his employees in other in
terests.
Captain T. L. Huston, part owner
of the Yankees, is serving in France
Hank Gowdy and Rabbit Meanwhile
two stars of the Boston Braves, vol
unfairly went into separate branches
of service. Jack Barry, manager OF
the Red Sox, is in the navy and with
him went Chick Shorten, one Of his
outfielders.
Pitcher Ayers of Washington. ac-
cording to President Ben Miner, will
be drafted. Joe Jenkins of the White
Sox is now in a southern training
camp and Jim Scott expects to be
commissioned In the new army. The
Athletics, just on the point of budding
into a real baseball club, lost many OF
their best men and will have to start
all over.

NORR|SSEY IN THf|
SPOTLIGHT AGAIN
WALL0PS HANL0N|

Lee Morrissey hung another light
weights scalp to his belt this week
when he took the number of Jimmy
Hanlon, at Denver. Hanlon was the
pride of the mile high city fans. He
was so strong the betting ring played
him as 4 to / favorite. Those who
did are now wondering how it came
about that rank outsider like Nor
rissey could slam around one of their
favorites and turn the trick with COM
parative ease.
Lorry A. Jacobs, scribe with the
Denver Post, apparently strong for
Hanlon, is game enough to give Nor
rissey some credit for getting the de-
cision, although it is apparent the ad-
mission comes hard. Here is his story
of the Monday night go:
DOPE Is SPILLED.
Although he still failed to show any
Morrissey, Idaho lightweight last
night spilled the dope and won the de-
cision from Jimmy Hanlon, Denver
Wop. who was figured as a 4-to-1
favorite over the boy who secured a
draw with Murphy couple of weeks
ago.
The fight from a spectators point OF
view, was one of the best seen here for
many days. In the early fighting
Hanlon appeared to be feeling out
Morrissey and from that angle it APP
peared that Morrissey had the better
of it for the first three rounds. In the
next three rounds, however. Hanlon
opened up and caused considerable
damage to the Idaho boy by his rain OF
blows from all sides. During these
three rounds Morrissey was clearly al
sea and did not know how to defend
himself, although he occasionally put
over telling left when Hanlon be-
came too careless.
MoRRIssEY TURNS TRICK.
The seventh round was one Of the
most amusing ever seen here. Nor
rissey advanced to the center of the
ring with a long straight left arm
held stiffly in front of him. Hanlor
tried to get around it, but Morrissey
shifted with him and kept pepperins
his nose with short, wicked little jabs
and plainly had him worried to death
before the round was 80 seconds old
Morrissey kept the arm in the same 20

rounds and his attack in these round.

CLOSING GAMES IN
WEST CONFERENCE

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-The western con-
ference football season will have Its
anti-climax tomorrow afternoon.
With the championship all decided
last Saturday, through Ohio States
victory over Illinois and Minnesota's
defeat of Chicago, nothing remains but
to play out the schedule.
From the advance sale of tickets, it
! Is evident that interest centers in the
game at Evanston. where Michigan
signifies Its return to the Big Ten by
clashing with Northwestern. Despite
the Wolverines unexpected licking at
the hands of Pennsylvania last week.
and the wrecking of its eleven under
conference eligibility rules, they are
the favorites.
MINNESOTA At URBANA.
The best battle is looked for when
Illinois and Minnesota hook up at Ur-
bana- The former has been defeated
by Ohio State, the champions, and
by Chicago. Minnesota took a licking
from Wisconsin. They look like an
even proposition.
The Maroons' crushing defeat by
Minnesota make them a second choice
in their game with Wisconsin here.
Indiana and Purdue will work out a
Hoosier grudge in Bloomington.
The only intersectional clash will
take place in East Lansing, where the
Michigan Aggies will play Syracuse.
The Farmers haven't won a game this
season and look even worse than the
fasteners.
Iowa and Iowa State will mix 1t in
Iowa City.

Fifty Years of Wheat Growing

Figures giving the yield and value
of the wheat crop of the United States
for so years have been published as
Bulletin No 514 by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This bull
etin covers all the years from 1866 to
1915. 1t shows that despite the pres
emit high prices we have not yet reach
ed the level of those in the years I'M
mediately following the Civil War
During the 10-year period from 1866
to 1875 the average price of wheat
in this country was 1856 cents lin
gold). For the 10-year period from
1906 to 1915 the average price was
only S6.s cents. The year 1886, in
which the Department of Agriculture
began its series of continuous reports
of the important crops, marked, how
ever, the high level of wheat. From
that time, in a number of marked
fluctuations, the price dropped until,
in the 10-year period from 1886 to
1895, it was down to 6S.3 cents. The
lowest point ever reached was in
1894. when the average price was
49.1 cents.
On the other hand, the average yield
per acre has been steadily increasing.
In 1866 it was 80 bushels and 1863 in
1915. an increase Of bushels to tie
acre. This increase has, of course,
been marked by declines in bad years,
but the average for the five lO-yea-
periods, from 1866 to 1915 show a
steady increase, from 11.9 bushels,
average in the decade 1s66-1s75, to
ISL bushels in the decade 19O6-1915.

Next Springs Visitor

Next spring we are to have new
comet, which will festoon itself in the
northwestern sky for three months
and compel joyriders to slow down
to some extent, because it won't be
safe to contemplate it raptly and go
as fast as they do.
This comet appears to be a new
one and not an old acquaintance, max
ing another farewell trip, as if it
were famous actress. Comets were
once thought to portend disasters, but
since the comet family failed to send
any member to pOrtend the worst dis
aster to mankind, subsequent to the
deluge, the present war, comets must
feel much mortified and have probably
gone out of the portending business.
They are in the same class now as
some of our boastful political proph-
cts of few months ago.
Much has been said of the personal
traits and eccentricitics of comets, but
no one has yet enjoyed a personal ac-
quaint;sce with one, and therefore we
have no books on Comets | Have
Met" They are usually going at the
gait of suburbanite leaving home
at 1871 a. m. to catch the last train
into the city at 1875 and have no leis-
ure to exchange the time of day as
they pass. This hardy early spring
comet is said to be moving at the
rate of 1,134,246 miles a dey. 1t
doesn't know where it's going but it's
on its way.
1t is this uncertainty Of comets
concerning their destination that pro-
duces some alarm on earth. Most Of
them are aimed for the sun, but so
far the sun has eludcd them with all
the dexterity with which n cat gets
out of the way of n motor car. It is
believed that if comet ever should
strike the sun, it would be swallowed
up as swiftly and complacently as a
black bass takes in a graGshopper
without as much rs neutrality-suspicious.

cenGure of cut-of-town traders, for
we confess some neglect to carry out
the rule against it; although his has
been due to thoughtlessness rather
than to any deliberate plan TO trade
elsewhere.
The fact remains, however, that
there is a general failure to realize
the loss to the city and region through
buying from other communities. In
stances without number could &c cited
where local manufacturers and trades
men have been handicapped by this
practice, and it is time for residents
to adopt the policy Of home protec-
ton, for selfish reasons if for no
higher motives.
1t does not take IN extended in
vestigation to show that local dealers
have as large variety of goods
from which to select and that they
sell at as reasonable prices IS mer-
chants elsewhere. Let us adopt the
rule No. l, to "Trade 1T Home" for
ourselves" while we advocate it to
others. We shall have more to say
on this subject.-Ex.
The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1917-02-14
Rule No. l

Trade at home" is rule Ne. 1 for
the development of home industry.
And the second is like unto it-"Let
everybody observe rule No. l."
Indeed, the cause Of the partial
failure to get results from the slogan
to trade at home" has been due to
the fact that many persons have
preached it for others to follow, rath-
err than as motto for home con-
sumption. Somc of those who have
cried the loudest to buy supplies here
have sent out their appeals on sta
tionery secured from foreign dealers,
oblivious to the fact that their deeds
belied their words, and others who
have denounced lack of local patriot
ism in patrons of mail order houses
have sent their money away for goods
that could be secured from merchants
of this city.
We would not be too severe in our
