PAUPERs ARE DISAPPEARING
Army of "Moochers" Not so Large
in London.

London, January 23.-[By Mail.]-
Despite exceedingly high prices OF
necessities, the number of paupers
in England has steadily decreased
since the war began. Social workers
have collected evidence of the con-
dition of the great mass of the peo-
pie under war conditions. It all goes
to prove that the lowest social stra-
ia, destitution, is gradually disap-
pearing. Children requiring free
school meals are the exception now.
The Central Body Of Unemployed has
sold all the clothing on hand because
there were not enough poor people
to give it to.
The betterment found among those
who in pre-war times made up the
pauper class doesn't mean that dis
tress has disappeared. 1t is still
found but mostly in homes Of women

If Grover Cleveland Alexander isn't
worth Il fancy stipend, it would be hard
to find a ball player that is. Alexander
last season was worth at least as a
money maker $25.0OO to the Phillies.
That is, without Alexander the net in
come of the club would have been at
least $4,000 less. And this is using the
most moderate figure, in sight. A man
who can pitch 16 shut-outs and win
over 80 ball games in this age is one
of those rare specimens worth a good
bit moro than he ever will collect.
There have been any number of ball
players Ovcrpaid. But one of these is
not Alexander. If he has been getting
less than $4,000 a year he has been
badly underpaid for at least two or
three seasons.

the game can be played without a box
office, as neither charges admission

OF the major sports baseball and

The Most Important,

We notice from n contemporary
where discussion has been started
as to which is the most important
feature of the game-the magnate or
the player.
This is just where most of the trou-
bic in baseball begins. 1t so happens
that neither is most important. For
where would the magnate be-and
where would the ball player land-if it
wasn't for the fan
1t is the citizens who obligingly de-
posits the tax at the box office that,
after all, controls the final destiny OF
the game. When the time arrives
where he considers the game isn't
worth while professional baseball will
gently but firmly take unto the soapy
chute and glide out of existence.
1t is difficult to impress this feature
Upon either player or club owner, for
both seem to have taken it for grant
cd that since fans have always floclled
to ball parks they always will. Some
day, if the turmoil increases, there may
be a sudden and dispiriting shock OF
nc light proportions.

Annual Ode to February
Last month of winter and the long,

Last month Of winter when the teams
start south:
Hurry up and move along-take jump
and then
Bring us back the gossip Of the train
ing camp again.
Last month OF winter and tho long,
raw wait
Last month of winter, when spring
is at the gate;
Hurry up and move along over ridge
and glen.
Put us in the bunkers for a niblick
shot again.
Don't you believe" writes Andy H.,
that the fact that Cobb was at last
beaten out for the lead will take away
lot of his ambition and the deter
mination he had to make ten year
sweep? Isn't this likely to affect his
play?"
Knowing Cobb as we do. we should
say that the only element calculated to
crush his ambition and break up his
determinations would be a pine box
nailed over his remains Cobb was stop
ped in his ten year drive, but he still
yearns to lead the league for matter
Of ten years, even If the achievement
isn't successive affair.

And your rival seems two up,
You give her u ride with the brassie
and
She drops two feet from the cup?
