EBBETS LEADING EAST
OUT OF DARKNESS
By H. C. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 16.-Charles H. Eb-
bets, discoverer of the Battle Of Long
Island and several other excuses for
holidays, is still in the ring for Sun
day baseball
Winding up his campaign through
the baseball season last summer, when
he obtained signatures from thou
sands who hisited his Brooklyn park,
he is ready to make an attempt to get
a bill through the New York legis-
lature.
Critics in this city are of the opin-
ion that Ebbets,is gong too far in try
ing to wedge in an extra playing day,
and point to figures, which, they say,
show that New York, with its six
day schedule, draws more persons
than the Western cities with seven
day schedules.
How interesting.
When you get down to the root Of

six of seven times the size of most
western cities, it is pretty easy to see
why that is.
Brooklyn isn't hurt by weekend at
tendance. The big turnouts on Sat-
urday show what might be accom-
plished in the borough across the
bridge if Sundays were open to base
ball.
Out west they have played Sunday
baseball for years, and no one makes
any objection. Ministers receive and
accept with no qualms passes to mi
nor league parks-and use them. They
stay away from the Sunday games, but
they don't miss the week day matt
nees.
If the West is broad enough to see
that a working man hasn't the time
to go to a baseball game through the
week, it is queer to see someone try
ing to explain why the East wouldn't
like it.
The fans want Sunday baseball. The
thousands who signed the petitions at
Ebbets field prove that.
Fred Mitchell is quoted as saying
he wouldn't have traded Bill James
at his best for Alexander and John
son. Wonder if Miller Huggins would.

where they have hot air always.

The great problem confronting the public speak
er the amusement promoter, the politician seeking
office. and the business man, is just this:
"How can we effectually reach people-great
crowds of people-without expending enormous
sums?
''What can we do to assure hearing-or read
ing-of our message by large audiences and not pay
too dearly for the privilege?"
The degree Of success reached by the speaker,
the promoter, the politicians the business man, de-
pends very largely how much he knows of the art
of reaching many people without overspending.

Mrs. Bliss Makes
Strong Appeal For
Higher Standard

The Fargo w. C. T. u. met with Mrs.
r. M. Pollock, Eighth street south,
Friday afternoon. The principal fea-
ture OF the program was a paper on
the topic, A White Life For Both, by
Mrs. Bliss, visiting nurse, who said, in
brief: If this were the watchword
of the world the problems of the Chart
ties would be noticeably lessened. Any
partnership not entered upon with the
idea of each doing an equal share, is
a failure. We shall be better when we

the plentiful advice given women to

statement that $7,0O0,000 worth OF

that OF tobaccos as $S50,000,000.
A good report of the recent district
convention at Buxton was given by
Mrs. Joseph Matters.
The next meeting of the union will
be held on June 8, at the Florence
Crittenton home, at which time Miss
Topping, superintendent, will be the
speaker. A picnic supper is planned
by the union for that date.

Dance Recital
Attracts Large
Audience Today

The popularity of Mrs. Juliet de
Lendrecie's work locally in promoting
an appreciation of the art of artistic
dancing, was strongly evidenced by the
very large matinee audience at the
Orpheum theater this afternoon. The
occasion was this well known instruc-
tors third annual dance recital in
which a very large number of children
and young girls of the two cities were
participants. Much effort has been ex-
pended on costuming alone, for this
recital event, the program for which is
even more elaborate than last season,
and the beautiful lighting effects ar
ranged for have added much to the
attractiveness Of the various features.
The same program as given this aft
ernoon will be repeated this evening
at 8:15 o'clock at the Orpheum, and it
is anticipated that the theater will
again be filled.
