LOSERS MAY GET
ONLY $500 EACH

With The worlds series receipts for
three games totalllng only 100000, II is
certain that the spoils from all the
games Will be insufficient 10 pay the
players OF the Boston and Chicago
clubs the share promised under the
new agreement which provides $1,000
FOR each OF the winners and 81 400 to
the losing players. Coming East on
the specla. train yesterday the players
got their heads together and viii make
a loud official squawk 10 the National
Commission n the size OF the Doodle
shows any signs OF decreasing.
II Boston should win the next two
games and clinch the series there will
not be enough money 20 pay the two
clubs for all their trouble. and on the
basis Of the three other clubs In each
league sharing as provided for, there
will be nothing at all for them II the
worlds series players insist on their
fun share.
10 looks as II the players were the
only ones who would not lose money
In the series. n the commission cuts
the winners and losers 10 1900 and
$500 this may give the players OF the
clubs finishing second. third ahd fourth
IN the National and American League
races something like $500. 2Oo and 500
each. Unless the series goes to az
least six games the Boston and Chicago
clubs will face a big deficit, beacuse
they have 10 foot all The bills for the

The forthcoming kick OF the contest
ing players will have little effect win
the commission, for 10 foresaw such a
state Of affairs as this when it drew
up the agreement providing for the
other clubs 10 share In case OF a deficit
AZ the time the players did not see
this Joker in the new agreement, be-
cause 10 never occurred 20 them that
there would ever be a worlds series
which would not be a big paying
proposition.
There has been an unusual amount
of trough riding" in the series, ana
there promises 20 be more OF u IN bos-

The National Commission has taken

Gradually it developed that the drain
age arrangements were not the ones
chat should be installed for a laundry

the building slowly progressed, when
presto! the girls awoke one morning to
find their laundry sold for completion as
an apartment house. And for this pur-
pose, it developed, it had secretly been
intended all the time.
Labor generally was indignant
throughout the city, and some were for
going to law" about the broken con-
tract, but the more canny among them
argued that if some silent force in the
city had power to turn all the real
estate men against them and "string
them along" for year in an attempt to
beat down their courage, the same
secret force would probably in some way
affect legal decision, so they kept out
of court and eventually got possession
of the laundry after the property had
changed hands twice, and jubilantly set
out to buy and install laundry machin-
cry.
Again they found themselves ham
pered at every turn. Firm after firm

ing laundry machinery was unable to
take more orders. This strange reluc-
tance extended as far East as the Missis-

a better answer to those who fear
anarchy from our American iaboring
people can hardly be imagined. Always
have reconstruction periods been marked
by sordid selfshness. But it is not too
much to hope snat just as this war was
fought for spiritual rather than ma
terial gains so the complex industrial
readjustments that must follow it NAV
be marked by a greater restraint and
more intelligence and tolerance on both
sides than previous transition periods
have known.
Perfection is not hoped for; perfect
justice is impossible, but slow, steady
moving forward in the right direction
is not too much to expect of the Ameri-
can people if one has any real working
faith in the spirit Of democracy. And
cooperation, pulling together" whether
consumers or producers, distributors or
laborers are concerned, is surely one Of
the most hopeful avenues Of approach

Needless to add, the tops are on their

The Salvation Army Iassies are pre-

need have no fear that an inferior quail

Thrift IN Porto Rican Schools

When the principal of our school began
to talk of thrift stamps I decided that
every pupil in my room should have at
least one stamp.
After school two came to me and asked
me what to do to earn money with which
to buy more stamps. AS our town is
small and everybody knows everybody
ehe, advised them to make home made
candy and sell it from house to house.
Accordingly they made some milk and
toeoanut fudge, after investing 81 in ma
tersls, and on the first trip they had
$3.50, or seven stamps gain.
Milk fudge is very easily made and
children like it. Use brown sugar; use
half as much pure milk as sugar and
cook as you would fudge. When pouring
out pour in rounds about as big around
as biscuit and about an eighth of an
inch thick. These can be sold for cent.
