STATISTICS OF PARKS
Odd Facts Shown by Study Of
Baseball Situation.
Seating Capacity Of More Than One
Hundred Parks Is but Per Cent
Of PopuIation-Some Interest.
ing Figures.

The recent discussion relative to the
high cost of baseball and the changes
suggested as tending to reduce what In
some cases is close to prohibitive ex-
pense has led to some interesting state
ments and explanations. That some
are not based upon cold facts can be
shown by a careful study of the base
ball situation as it exists today.
1t has been said that one reason for
the heavy expense in connection with
the management Of baseball club is
the building Of parks and stands con-
siderably in excess Of the prospective
attendance as warranted by the popu-
latiOn of the surrounding territory.
While this statement may be true in
one or two isolated cases, it is not
borne out by existing figures in so far
as it applies to the general run of ma
jor and minor baseball leagues.
Build Expensive Parks.
In recent years some elaborate and
expensive ball parks have been con-
structed, especially in cities represent
ed in the National and American
league circuits. In no case, however,
does comparison of the park seating
capacity and the city population show
that the accommodations are out of
proportion to the attendance possibili-
ties.
Taking IL leagues, scattered through
out the country, as basis for compu-
tation, it Is found that the total seat
ing capacity of all the parks aggregates
baseball parks is but 3 per cent of the
population Of all the cities in which
these parks are located. In the case
Of the larger class of cities the addition
Of the population figures of numerous
suburbs would make the percentage
still lower.
AS they stand the statistics show
that these II leagues contain clubs
which play in cities with total popu-
lation Of 37,416,OOO, and that the seat
ing capacity of all the parks aggregates
but 1,106,S0O AS a result these parks
would be filled almost to capacity at
each game if three persons out of ev-
cry hundred OF the population were to
attend the contests.
In Major Leagues.
In the case Of the major leagues the
parks will not seat even 3 per cent Of
the population, the figures working out
nearer to 2 per cent. On the other
hand, some Of the Southern and West
ern league parks will accommodate
close to Is per cent of the surrounding
population. Seven Of the leagues COW
er territory in which the total popula-
ton of the club cities runs over the
million mark, while the other ten range
between One-quarter and three-quart-
ers Of million. The figures, showing
the population and seating capacity of
parks by leagues, are as follows:

son found himself under arrest, and
his prisoners were taken from him.
He demanded an immediate hearing,
which could not be refused, and it
took the judge only few minutes to
decide that there was no case against
him, or, at least, that the matter was
outside his jurisdiction, inasmuch as
the raid had taken place beyond the
jurisdiction of Kansas. This hoist the
prisoners with their own petard, the
joke being, of course. that the Monte
Carlo had actually always been with
in the boundaries of the state of Kan.

Greeks Had Mo Standard.

The ancient Greeks had no standard,
although they venerated the emblems
on their shields as we our flag. The
first flag used by the Greeks was dec
grated with a two-headed eagle and
was used in the revolt against the
Turks in 1864. In the revolution of
1869 white flag with blue cross was
raised. In 1903, when Ali Pasha was
ravaging Thessaly, John Stathans led
flotilla into Skiathos under a flag
which was the same as that in use at
the present day-blue with white
cross. The first flag of the great revo-
luton was raised by Marco Botzaris,
on October 25, 1920. 1t was white with
an icon Of st. George. On January 1,
1922, The national assembly in Epidau-
rus, at the foundation Of the independ-
ence of Greece, defined the Greek flag
as follows: On the land, nine horizon
tai stripes, plain blue flag in four
quarters, with white cross in the mid
die, to be called the "land flag" o.
the sea, nine horizontal stripes, five
blue and four white, with a Nce
square in the corner in four quarters,
on which is a white cross. This Is the
flag known as the Greek flag, today.
The blue ground is very dark.

HOW "PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON W|PED0UT
THE MONTE CARLO OF NO MANS LAND
Independent Kingdom Set Up by Three Scoundres on the Kan
sasndian Territory Border, Dees Authorities and Does
Thriving Business Until Johnson Takes Hold
GIVES The RUFFIANS THE LAWYERS ANSWER

Sheriff Paxton of Montgomery county,
Kansas, with his retainers, and, on
the other, Deputy Marshal Walker Of
the Territory. They looked at each
other across their twelve feet of No
Mans Land and licked their dry lips
as they heard corks popping. If they
did not, their henchmen did. They
listened, and the roulette ball spun
merrily, and the brazen dollars
clicked. Nobody paid the least at
tention to the outcast minions of the
law. Their only satisfaction lay in
nabbing those who strayed within
their own realms. An Indian, who
had just managed to get rid of his
pension money, would stumble out of
the door, lose his steering powers,
and cross into his territory. The
deputy marshal would pounce on him.
A Kansan, webbing north, would fall
into the yearning arms of Sheriff Pax
ton. But King Lewis continued on
the land that he had seized upon.
And, in the absence of any properly
constituted authority, there seemed no
reason why his kingdom should not
endure forever.
During the height of the festivities
a royal proclamation was issued de-
claring that the powers could not in
tervene, and even the presence Of Mr..
Taft, then secretary for war, in Okla
homa could not dampen the spirits of
the populace nor dilute the potency Of
those that passed over the bar. The
proclamation stated that only spe-
cial act Of congress could put the
kingdom out of business. However,
Lewis had failed to take General
issimo Pussyfoot Johnson into con-
sideration.
Now, when the news reached John
sons ears, he was a good deal upset.
He did not like these happenings.
Was the man who had earned national
fame as champion lid-clamper of the
Indian Territory to be defied and have
his work annulled by men who were
running his reputation and debauching
his Indian wards? Johnson cared no
more for law than the others cared
for law and order. But Johnson did
care for order And he meant to
maintain it. Johnson Is an Anglo
Saxon name, and Johnson responds
to the old English instinct for good
government. But Johnson has Indian
blood in him also, and when Johnson
goes on the warpath he never lets go
of anything he catches-never.
Johnson accordingly reasoned like
this: IF his majesty King Lewis and
his cabinet can commit felony no.
where, certainly /, too, have a right
to commit a felony nowhere. But
will it be felony? If No Mans Land
is in the United States and not on
the high seas, then 1, as federal Of
ficer, have an undoubted right to in
stitute proceedings"
Thus it happened that one night a

BOSCHEE'S GERMAN
SYRUP
a Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with it's sudden
changes Of temperature, rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled In single

friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from US by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
in the house, and few doses taken in
time, will possibly prevent severe ILL

moustache, followed by two armed
deputies, wandered out from Indian
Territory into the realm of his maj
esty. From end to end could be
heard the rafting of the roulette ball,
as it made its devious course round
the wheel, and the dice clicking on
the crap table. From anot her corner
came the steady click, click of poker
chips. In still another place there
sat pale, faultlessly dressed man
running his long, slender fingers
across the faro box. At the other
end of the palace glasses were clink-
ing, and nearby colored man was
humping out "Just Becaus e She Made
Them Goo-Goo Eyes" upon wheezy
piano.
Accompanied by his deputy, Fred
Keller, Johnson assembled into the
palace precincts, by the front door,
without sending herald or ambas-
sador. There was no fanfare of
bugles: Johnson simply entered. The
front of the realm faced Indian Terri
tory, the back Kansas. His majesty
cast one look at the bald dome of the

coward unless craZed by drink. When
Killion was craZed enough to be reck-
less, and Carr happened to be in the
vicinity, there would be the conjunc-
ton of circumstances. That conjunc-
ton occurred
Killion had a notorious record. He
had run gambling house in Caney
for several years, had been many
times in the county Jail, and had been
implicated in a number of shooting
ARRAYS, though mostly for the purpose
of acquiring reputation as a desper-
ado than for killing Soon after his
release from the penitentiary he was
arrested by Carr upon the streets of
Caney for drunkenness, and was pa
rolled by the Judge. Killion was not
quite drunk enough to screw himself
up to the point of murder, but he
threatened Carr
"I'll get even with you for this"
he snarled. 81 haven't forgotten that
trick you played me about Pussyfoot,
either"
Carr did not reply, but took Killion
to the police station.
A few days later Carr, while ma
king his rounds, discovered that q
poker game was in course of progress
in certain building, and, going in,
took possession of the chips and other
paraphernalia. He did not know at
the time who was the owner of the
place, but discovered subsequently
that it was Killion. This act enraged
Killion all the more, and he conceived
the idea that Carr was his real enemy.
Killion drank all that afternoon and
made threats that he was going to kill
marshal, but nobody took him very
seriously. At ten that night, while
Carr was having his supper In Ern-
hardt's saloon, Killion staggered up
to the door and called him out. Carr
went out and they were seen to walk
short distance together. Then Kill
lion swung around.
You've been bounding me, you liar,
and now I'm going to get even," he
cried, and whipping out revolver,
he shot Carr four times.
Carr returned the fire, but he was
too badly wounded to take aim. He
fell to the sidewalk, when Killion
sprang upon the dying man and be-
gan pounding him savagely about the
head with the butt of his revolver.
He then took the marshars club and
star and threw them into the street.
Carr died thirty minutes later, but
lived long enough to make state
ment to the effect that Killion had
fired the first shot.
The death of Carr Infatuated the
town, for the dead man, who had been
a carpenter by trade, bore a reputa-
ton as quiet, peaceable citizen, and
was universally popular. He left a
widow and several children. Killion,
who had escaped to his sisters house,
was tracked there, and the house was
surrounded by a mob, which threat
ened to blow it up with dynamite I'm.
less Killion surrendered. Killion gave
himself up and was lodged in Jail.
There was much talk of lynching him,
but no concerted action was taken.
At the trial it developed that Kill
lions father had also been murderer.
The jury was out only ten minutes,
and brought in a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree, after
taking a single ballot. AS capital pun.
ishment has been practically, though
not theoretically abolished in Kansas,
Killion was sent to the penitentiary
for life.
That was the first death to arise out
of the Monte Carlo raid. Others were
to follow.
