CHICAGO, January 19.-Comiskey's
White Sox will not depart from their
former mode of travel this spring. pro-
vided the railroad and government Of
ficials are willing. They will have their
own de luxe special to Mineral Wells

lieved by the middle of March. If not.
they will go as ordinary travellers in

In speaking of the trip Secretary
Grabiner of the Sox said that the date
but that it will probably be in the
middle of March. He said that practi-
cally all the exhibition dates needed have
been closed. The team will follow sub
stantially the same route as last year,
with the exception. that some military
camps will be visited.
Paul Musser. one time Washington
player. sent in his contract to the Sox
Office today. and if this youngster
should keep up his pace set in the
Western League he will bolster up the
pitching staff considerably. Musser
took part in fortyeight games last
season with Des Moines. He won
twenty-tnree and lost eighteen, accord
ing to the official records. Taking into
consideration the number of innings
played he led the league, as only LIS
earned runs were made off of his deliv-

TITLE GOLF ABANDONED
Western Association Substitutes Pa
triotic Tourney for the
Coming Season.

CHICAGO. January 19.-The directors
OF the Western Golf Association at the
annual meeting tonight decided to aban-
don the championship meet for 1918,
owing to war conditions, and to hold a
patriotic tournament to sustain active
interest in the game, as suggested by
President Wilson.
1t was recommended that the tourna-
ment be held under such conditions as
might be determined by the directors
later and that those who participated
should be forty years old or more. This
age limit was recommended subject to
revision down to thirty-f1ve years. An
entry fee of So and an assessment of
cents a stroke in qualifying rounds
will be given to some worthy charity.
No expensive prizes will be awarded.
Last years officers. headed by Charles
Thompson, Chicago. were reelected.

Owing to housing conditions in this
! city some difficulty has been expert
enced by Manager Griffith in obtain
| ing hotel accommodations for the Wis
itors, but arrangements have been
made to quarter them. although the
party will be split up. Johnson and
Hermann going to the Shoreham,
while the others will be taken care
of at the Commercial Club.
Although nothing has been said for
publication by the tax conferees as
| yet on how the vexing problem of col
lecting the federal levy on admissions
next season can best be met. it is as
sured they will recommend to the gov
ernment officials that some plan to do
away with the necessity for handling
thousands of pennies at each game be
approved.
| Under the law a tax of 10 per cent
will be imposed on every admission
| to a ball park next season, whether
| the spectator purchases his ticket or
presents a pass This would mean that
the bieacherite would have to pay %
cents for his two-bit ticket. the pa
vilion patron SIS cents. instead of an
even half dollar, and the grandstand
patron s3 cents for the seat which
| the purchasers of $; oox seats would
have to put up s1.10. Some of the
parks have very few quarter seats
and at the Polo Grounds in New York
| there are none. All have 50-cent seats.
| which involve no problem in change
making, but in all the cities OF both
circui.s the great majority OF fans
patronize the 15-cent accommodations
! in the grandstand, and it is here that
the base ball men foresee great trouble.
Although the theaters and moving pic
| ture houses have handled the problem
| well, it is pointed out that the major
ity of them have a seating , soe eapaeits ,sst5s
| at some of the ball parks crowds OF
s 900 to 10000 frequently jam through
| the turnstiles. 1t is realized that the
physical labor of making change with
pennies in paying the war tax and the
| time it would involve would clog the
entrances and serve to keep fans sub
jected to the crowding and delay from
returning to ball park after one
such experience.
owners, to eliminate the handling Of PEN
nies. reduce their prices on the bleacher
and grandstand seats, setting the former
| at % cents, which, with the cents tax
| would call for a total payment Of 25
| cents. and cutting the 75-cent seats to
| 72 cents, making an Se-cent payment
| cover the admission and the tax. Cutting
prices is not exactly the thing to be ex-
pected of the nagnates, however. and in
! case they decide that the reduction on
these seats would prove too costly. the
price for the grandstand seats may be
| raised to II cents, making total with
the war tax of s5 cents. in which case
| the 81 seats might be reduced to 80 cents
| and an even dollar charged for the seat
plus the tax.
The question Of the payment of the tax
on free admissions is another which will
| be settled at the conference here. The
| suggestion has been made that these be
| maid in advance. but no decision will be
reached until the Treasury officials have
| been consulted, as this might be construed
as q technical violation of the law, which
provides for payment on each separate
| admission.

BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
will offer for subscription every two
weeks between now and the opening
OF the next Liberty Loan Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness in
amounts of five hundred million dol
lars or more. If all the banks OF the
country do their share, and it is con-
templated that they will, three bill
lion dollars of the certificates will be
taken by them between now and the
ftotation of the next Liberty Loan.
The raising of five hundred mil
lion every two weeks seems tre-
mendous task, yet in relation to the
banking resources of the United
States it seems easy of accomplish
ment.
The resources of the National
banks of the United States on Nov. 20
last We're more than eighteen and a
half billion dollars and the resources
of state banks and trust companies
Oil June 20, 1917, were practically
twenty-one billion.
The resources of both have in
creased since the dates named when
the latest reports were made. The
three billion expected by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is less than 10
per cent of the banking resources of
the nation.
The banking power of the world
Iii 1890 was estimated at fifteen and
a half billion dollars; the banking
power of the United States is now two

WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHDAY

AS the years go on, George WASH
iGgton, Father of His Country re-
codes into the past and seems like a
shadowy figure Of antiquity me
tendency with many people is 10 re-
gard Abraham Lincoln as the larger
of the two figures. 1t is true that hiii-
coin faced and grasped an incom-
parably bigger situation, and con-
tended with far greater forces. YET
the resources back of him and at MS
command were infinitely greater.
Washingtons greatness is seen in
comparison with the pitifully meager
means which he controlled. The COM
mander of broken force Of ragged
patriots, half fed, half clothed, poorly
armed, his attempt must have seemed
hopeless to the worldly wise OF his
time.
It was not merely the foe he faced
bll the petty and sordid divisions OF
the forces behind him. He was the
leader not of nation, but of a group
Of jealous and pickering States and
Of faint hearted Congress. Under
any ordinary generalship his gro
tesquely equipped army would have
turned tail and scattered within a
year. But somehow by consummate
faith in the guiding hand of Provi-
dcnce, by speed of thought and ac-
ton that outwitted vastly superior
foe, he won out against all human
odds. So he will ever be regarded by
history as one of the worlds great
military commanders.
It was another test of Washing
IONS greatness that he was not drawn
into the petty political feuds of his
later years. He was bigger than any
political party able to see beyond

"This is the time for United action

should not let politics or religion or
business tear us asunder and we
should make special efforts to stand

great business of making war on the
autocratic German kaiser and all who
believe in him. There is work for
eperyone of us to do and frivolous
things should be put aside for the
