1T will be recalled that Admiral
George Dewey, the hero OF Manila,
sclashed with the German naval COM
manders soon after the battle Of Ma
Mia Bay. and that it was due to the
Americans firm stand that the com
mander Of the German feet in the
Philippine waters kept within bounds.
But Admiral Dewey considered the
threat of one Of the German of
~ficials. 3 Goetz, of sufficient import
,ancce to Justify his communicating it
to the department at Washington.
Admiral Deweys statement has

gain over the Germans. while
northwest of the town the British

Big Leagues Probably Will
Survive, but Minors
Will Surely Fall.
PREPAREDNESS BLUFF
Military Training at Spring
Camps Was Just Big
Advertising Plan.

What will happen to the national
that all of the magnatcs in both the
major and minor leagues are asking
themselves. The club owners have ad-
vcrtised the drilling of players in the
spring training camps, which they were
pleased to call preparedness work, very
extensively, but as anybody could
easily foretell, this was nothing but just
what the magnates intended it should
be, an advertising scheme on large
scale. Now the magnates are falling
over themselves Offering their well
prepared" and drilled ball players to
their country at the first call. Oh, yes.
they are not. Ban Johnson, with his
$4,000 per year, and Jonn Tener, with
his $4,000 a year, have already an
nounced that the major leagues will
play ball in spite Of war. Whether the
American public, in case of the con-
flict assumes the seriousness now por-
tended, will patronize high priced base
ball, is another question. During 1898,
the major leagues had a tough time of
it, even though that war situation was
at no time as serious as the present
one.
Though Canada has been an active
participant in the European war for
over two years, there are still three
cities In the land to the north where
baseball Is in vogue. Montreal and To-
ronto are members OF the International
league. and according to reports, the
owner of the Toronto team made mon
cy by the bushel last year, in fact he
made enough to warrant the signing OF
what Is said to be the highest priced
bunch of ball players in the league
Montreal shows no signs of falling by
the Wayside and is probably good for a
couple of years more. Vancouver, in the
Northwestern league, is the only othel
town in Canada where the game re-
ceived sufficient attention to warrant
Il league ball team. Bob Brown has had
fair luck during the past two seasons
though the Vancouver nine has played
few series in some of the smaller
Washington towns. like Bellingham
New Whatcom and Everett.
One thing is certain. An extended
war will bring a speedy end to the
NUMEROUS minor leagues scattered
throughout the country. The two minor
circuits that operated in Canada, the
Canadian league and the Western Can.

Value Of Organizations
Commercial Clubs and all other
