Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES ,. coRBETT.

Is S0nhh1As
 But let us be as liberal as possible and
 say that each of those "out of the race clubs would have drawn 2000 persons per
 game during September and the first
 week In October. Each club had about 90 games to play, which the Baker ruling now makes impossible. Averaging 2O0D paid admissions at each of those games
 means 60,0o0 Figuring it at 50 cents a
 head means an intake of $30,0O0, which, split two ways-half for each competing
 club-means an attendapce loss of sl5,O0O for each club of the Labor Day closing. Now as to the other side of it-the bright side from the nagnates view point
 The contract of each player normally | ends on October 15-a week or 10 days
 after the close of the regular season. The early closing saves the club nearly six weeks in pay roll money. The aver
 age salary list of each big league club
 is around s90o0o. The saving of six weeks
 pay at the rate of sso,Ooo for 2s weeks is approximately S21,00o.
 But the saving doesn't end there. There is an additional saving in travelling ex- perses. upkeep of park, expenses for balls and other equipment and overhead of- flee expenses which, in months time certainly amounts to more than s5000 Therefore, F and probably 1S of the DIE league CiubS Will lose $l5,uUO Tn gate receipts through the early closing, but save s26,600 in salaries and general ex- penses<a net saving, thanks to Secre- tary Baker-of at least $10.0oO for each club owner.
 | Or course the early closing may mean
 a loss to the Red Sox, Giants and Cubs but it won't be great one at that. + the Sox have the pennant won by
 Labor Day, they probably wouldn't draw
 more than 5000 daily from then on until l the end of the season. And the receipts | from such crowds would do little more thar break them even on running ex- penses.
 | The Giants and Cubs may suffer, pro- vided they are still nip and tuck at the | end of August. But if one or the other has cinched the flag by then it will be the same story as with the Sox. Fans aren't much keener about seeing pen- nant winner merely playing its schedule | than it is to see tail-enders perform. | The fight is the thng-and interest usu- | ally dies when the fight is won. 1 So. all in all. the governments action | concerning ball players and the work
 or fight order is a blessing in disguise
 as far as 1918 is concerned.

BANDIT STRONGHOLD TO
 BE IN NATIONAL PARK
Jackson Hole Country, Resort of Bad Men. Will be Added to Yellow
 stone by Mondays Bill

r Livingston, Mont, June S.-A ban dit stronghold may be added to the Yellowstone National Park. The Jack son Hole coultry-Once the resort of bad men of every class--is the strip which it is proposed to attach toythe reservation.
 For thirty years. Jackson's Hole has played an important part in lurid lilt- erature as we'll as in sensational fact Thousands of "wild west" stories have mentioned that bullet swept re- 'gion where criminals fled from pos ses and where comparatively few men could hold a company of sol diers at bay.
 Representative Mondell, of Wyom- ing, is fostering a measure to add about 600O0 acres of Wyoming pub lie land south of the park to the Yellowstone reservation. There are very few homesteaders on this land and it is believed that their claims can be adjusted without difficulty.
 The tract is as beautiful, it is said as any part of the Yellowstone re- zion and this is the leading reason for the desire to add it to the park, Lofty mountains many of them GOV cred with dense forests, rise from this land. Great prairies, which once were deserts. stretch for miles. Hun dreds of striking buttes whose cram nies furnishes hiding places and for tifications for Indians and robbers, and fugitiyes, of the country. ----
 Grand Teton Mountain and Mount Moran are included in the proposed addition hut Jackson's Hole is per haps the best known spot. Again and again, in pioneer days, Indians flash ed into this depression and disap- peared But men learned the secrets of the Hole and often they got there q few horse jumps ahead of their pursucrs. As late as 1914, the crags echoed to the chatter of hOofs and the whine of bullets. On July 29, of that year, two bandits held up IS Yellow stone park coaches and after robbing more than one hundred tourists. es- capped 10 the Hole. Soldiers search ed and searched and found nothing.1
 Now, Representative Mondell hopes to change the order of things. His plan provides that hotels be built where red men once pitched their tepees; that comfortable lodges be erected among the crannies of the bandits and that the government shall see to it no tourist is held up-not even by hotel men.
