WORLDS SERIES
POOR DOPE NOW
At Best Annual Inter- League
Affair Would CuIminate in
Big Frost.
What of baseball7

The magnates with one OF two ex-
ceptions are unable to decide whether
= they will close their parks Sept l. the
limit given them by Secretary Bakers
ruling or close 10 days earlier and
conduct a world series.
The fact is that baseball Is up
against it.
A world series this fall would al
best be a burlesque. 1t would DO
more. harm to baseball, the institu-
ton, than the small sums realized al
the gate would begin to pay for.
Interest In baseball has waned since
General Crowder and Baker decided
1t an unessential occupation In war
time. The cities which hitherto had
been drawing large crowds are now
getting hundreds instead of thousands.
At Chicago, New York and Cleve-
land the best drawing cities In the ma
jor leagues this year the Saturday and
Sunday crowds have fallen to between
1900 and $500.
Big league baseball cannot be
maintained at this rate.
With the big stars DESERVING tneir
clubs daily and the others playing
more or less mechanically the pupilc
has lostits interest. The regulars
In the bleachers and stands do not
care to pay major league prices to see
minor league baseball and that is just
what they are getting in most cases
this year.
A world series might show the best
club in America today, but that club
would be so inferior to clubs which
have won world series in the past that
the thousands who usually crowd the
marks to see the annual classic would
not be on hand this year.
Owners of major league clubs,
they are wise, and think of the future,
will take the dose prescribed by Sec
rotary Baker and close shop.

APPROPRIATION
FOR BOXING MEN
State House Commission Sets
Aside $4,000 in Budget to
Inspectors Expense.
b. Special Correspondent.

6I ODeC1ub OOFFSSpOIuc"t
TRENTON, August Tho expenses
are TO be allowed boxing inspectors OF
he State Athletic Commission. This
vas ruled by the State House Com
mission at its meeting here yesterday
afternoon, and State Comptroller
Bugbee said that the Commission VIII
in all probability provide ABOUT
$4,000 for the years travelling ex-
penses of the members of the Boxing
Commission and a salary and ex-
penses of Secretary Burdict. The sec
retary's salary will be fixed at S2e a
week, and IFS with his expenses Will
total about $500 a year. Another
$1,000 will be allowed for the expenses
OF the members OF the commission
The comptroller said that no high per
| diem bills for the commissioners serv-
! ices would be paid. They would have
to keen within the $4,000 limit, he as
serted.
This $4,000 will be paid out of the
State House Commissions emergency
appropriation, and the money re-
| ceived by the boxing commission VIII
go into the State Treasury. There Is
now about $4,000 in the State Treasury
from the boxing commission for only
the short period boxing has been es-
tablished in the state. 1t Is figured
that the sport will be profitable to the
state at this rate. The revenue may
run as high as sT5, 900 a year outside
! of the commissions expenses.
II was pointed out that by making
use OF inspectors from the municipal
tiles in which boxing bouts are
| staged expenses for these officials
would be- eliminated. The clubs, un-
der tie law, pay the referee and

Some Permanent Tendencies Of
Our Literature.

OuT LlJeTdtuIc'
1t is hardly possible that the
literary characteristics Of nation so
young, so cOsmopolite, so liberal and
such tumble of nationalities, should
be permanent.
However, If we consider few
prominent tendencies of our literature,
we shall find that they are more or
less stable.
One marked tendency Of the
literature which our fathers produced
was toward patriotism. They were
alive with patriotism and deep feeling
for England. The poems OF Anne
Dudley Bradstreet sang Of the night
ingale in the heather, peaceful green
meadows, old church towers and
other English landmarks. Later
came patriotism and deep feeling for
America. America had material for
history, heroes had been buried and
so Mather's Magnolia aroused burst

modern writer's now busy with patriot.
ic editorials, articles and other works.
Again, the ideal OF Liberty as re-
flected 10 former literature is practi.
caily the same as the ideal for which
we now stand. John Winthrop's speech
on liberty is truly modern in its con-
ception. Those ideals were dreamed
of by great and good men and since
those ideals stood for right, they
endured until our present great and
good men are dreaming of them now.
Nature, too, has been permanent
T, tendency since our literature began.
i In the poems of Bradstreet can be
| found here and there trace OF
| Wordsworth, something in all the
/ natural beauties that shows the hand
! of God. Such noble themes cannot
be obliterated by time; they are
, handled again and again by men al
| thru the life of our nation.
Logic, truth and accuracy were the
aims Of early writer's. Jonathan
Edwards strove to present the truth

Reason rules the world, and 10 oul
literature was that force which en-
deavored to preserve for othe
