BASEBALL LITTLE
 AFFECTED BY WAR

New York, Dec. 7.-In marked con- trast to the melancholy outlook along the Western baseball front where August Hermann holds forth is the optimism of John K. Tener and other baseball leaders in the East.
 Almost daily come storm warnings and distress signals from beyond the Alleghanies, and economy fs the watehword. Tn the East, however, baseball leaders are not so pessimis- tic. They realize, to be sure, that baseball will have to eliminate all extravagances of the past in order to fortify itself against a possible de- precision due to the war, but contend there is not cause for uneasiness.
 There is nothing the matter with baseball" That crystalizes the opin- ion of majority of the prominent baseball leaders in the East. All Eastern baseball men appear 10 agree that this is the time for judicious economy, but not such retrenchment that would be apt to impair the play ing strength of the teams.
 'fWe will have to cut the corners close," remarked Harry Hampstead, pIOSpQ6nL Ol LH0 IldulSp OoL LA0E6 1S no cause to fear for the future of baseball. Last season number of the clubs made money. To be sure, the war has been a drain on the male populace, but I think you will find that the ball parks will be we'll filled next season provided the teams play good baseball I do not believe in effecting any measures of retrench- ment that are apt to impair the strength of the teams. There should be judicious economy in certain de- partments of the game. but it would manifestly be unwise to do anything that would tend to weaken the clubs.
 This is not time to be pessimis- tic. I do not believe the major leagues will be seriously affected by war conditions unless there be uIi- foreseen developments next summer, especially if the clubs maintain a high calibre of play. So far as can see there is nothing the matter with baseball. Now is the time for CO., operation and cautious management" |"

Truck Hannah isn't bad name for the new Yankee catcher. He's built like one, and he's made for en- durance, During the past season he caught the first 100 games played by his old team, the Salt Lake City Club, and the only reason he was taken. off fora day or two was because the pit chers were getting tired of looking at his face.

Incidentally, there are a whole lot of fans on the anxious seat, too. They are waiting to hear from the Inter- national league meeting to b held in New York in few days, when it will be definitely decided whether or not the league will suspend operations until the end of the war.

Maraoaibo as a Trade Port.

Maracaibo, the leading port in west ern Venezuela, is a city of some 5000 inhabitants and the capital of the state of Zulia. At this port enter all the inn ports destined for the Venezuelan states of Merida, Trupillo, Tachira and Zulia, and also for the province of Santander in Colombia, the principal city of which is Cucuta. The popula- tion of the district is about 500, 900, the vast majority of which, however, are peons of little purchasing power.

 Laurels in Western Cities.

Norwich admirers of the rare abil- ity of Miss Margaret Jan1ieson, niece of Archibald Mitchell, will be interest ed in the dattering notices which she has been receiving.
 Miss Jamieson gave a piano recital at Saginaw, Mich. Jan. p and at Fort Wayne Jan. 25, scoring an artistic tri- umph at both places. MT. Mitchell, who was in the west on business at the time, attended each recital.
 The Saginaw News of Jan. 25 said, in referring to the concert:
 Saginaw was justly proud of the achievement of Miss Margaret Jamie the ball room of the Hotel Bancroft when she presented a program of un- usual difficulty with charming ease and technique for Saginaw feels that it may share in the fame of a former resident and pupil. Miss Jamieson having received a part of her earlier academic and musical education in this city as a pupil of the late Prof. A. W. Platte.
 Beethoven's magnificent Sonata, Opus 1O9, opened her delightful pro- gram and was given in unusually artistic manner. The sonata was fol- lowed by two delicately beautiful numbers, La Bandoline by Couperin and Le Coucou by Daquin. Caprice on Airs from Gluck's Alceste by St. Saens closed the first part of the pro- gram and was played with rare tech niQue.
 The second part of the program was composed of two exquisite numbers, Warum and Fabe1 by Schumann and Chopin's Nocturne, Opus g.
 Capriccio, Opus 76, by Brahm, Etude in D Flat by Liszt and Inter mezzo Pollijaco by Paderewslzi in the third part of the program were fol- lowed by Faures Romance Without Words and Valse Impromptu by Sto- jowski, under whom Miss Jamieson studied in New York. Upon the in- sistence of the audience, Miss Jamie
