BASEBALL Will
SEE BIC CHANGE
DURING WINTER

Baseball magnates. players and fol-
most unanimous in expression of the
opinion that the coming winter months
will witness important changes in the
methods and arrangements governing
the professional end of the national
sport 1t appears certain that out of
the mass of suggested and proposed
changes radical certain developments
will occur relative to the conduct of
the business end of the game during
the duration of the war at least.
Both major and minor league mag
mates will discuss and consider nu-
naerous suggestions looking toward
Enforcement of conditions existing
at tn epresent time during the COM
ing annual meetings. While no hasty
action will be taken it is considered
likely that several innovations both
in consultation and conduct of the
sport will be adopted before the sea-
son of 1918 is reached. Owing to the
difference of opinion on these points
among the various club owners, it Is
difficult to name the proposals winch
may eventually be enacted In pasepali
law but there has been no dearth OF
these both from official and unoff1-
c1al sources.
Among the plans advanced are the
following; shorter season and sched-
ule in the major leagues, coupled with
a suggestion to start the World Series
several weeks earlier than has been
the case in recent years; curtailment
OF the number of players now permit
ted to each club and a reduction OF
the present salaries; the shifting OF
one or more club franchises to new
and more profitable fields of patron
age; the elimination of long and ex-
pensive southern training trips; re
arrangement of schedules with the
idea of reducing the large annual
transportation bills; REIMBURSEMENT or
combination Of minor league circuits
in order to provide more attractive
and lucrative play
It in exceeding doubtful II all of
these suggestions are adopted but it
is equally certain that some will find
their way into the codes or agree
ments of the league since those in
charge realize that baseball, like all
other sports is confronted by condi-
lions which are far from normal. An
example of these conditions can be
cited in the draft problem which con-
fronts the nlagnates. number of
major and minor league players will
probably be lost to the game in this
manner before the spring practice be-
gins and their places must be filled,
It is expected that the big league
clubs will draw upon the minors for
war time substitutes. If this is done

in the revival of one of the most i'm

sizes. These two institutions first met
in football in 1892 and since that date
have played fourteen games, of which
Michigan has won nine and Chicago
five. The Wolverines lead in points
with total of 1913 to Chicago's 1O2.
Michigan has held the Maroon eleyens
scoreless four times while Chicago

Another Old Timer
Crosses the Divide

After having travelled entirely
around the globe Phillip James
Smith selected Idaho Springs as
the most favored spot on the face
of this terrestrial sphere and lived
and died here.
Mr.. Smith was born in Corn
wall, England, February, 1850,
the second son of family OF
fourteen children, only three OF
which are left to mourn the demise
of an older brother. He came to
these mountains first in 1876, the
year in which Colorado took
her place among the states of the
union, but soon afterward returned
to his native land and joined an
exploration expedition which
visited nearly all parts of the
globe. The memory of Clear
Greek with her rugged hills and
opportunities for the mining of
gold was sufficient inducement to
cause him to return in 1884, when
he located for a short time at
Central City, later removing to
Idaho Springs which he continued
to make his home until death
claimed him Monday, January 26,
