The ThriCe-A-W Week Edition
Of The New York World

In 1918
Practically Daily at the Price of a
Weekly No other Newspaper in
the world gives so much at so low
price
(chn. O. Seal

The value and need of newspaper
in the household was never greater
than at the present time. The great
war in Europe is now halfway into
it's third year, and. whether peace
be at hand or yet be far off, it and
the events TO follow it are sure to be
of absorbing interest for many a
month to come.
These are Notwithstanding affairs in
which the United States, willing or
TN Filling, is compelled to take a
part. No intelligent person can lg-
more such issues.
The Thrice-A Week Worlds regu-
lar subscription price is only 81 90
per year, and this pays for 1876 pa
pers. We offer this unequalled
newspaper and The Greene County
Herald, together for one year for
81 65.
The regular substitution price Of
the two papers is 81 90 each or 81 90
for the two.

Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from

HANLON BATTLE
 STOPPED BROAD

Eddie Hanlon knocked out Kid Broad in the fourteenth round at San Francisco on Jan. 29 1904; just four teen years ago today. This was the second time in Breads long career that he was forced to take the count, and the victory of the Californian, who was then only eighteen years old, marked the beginning of the end of Broad ass scrapper Kid Broad was Cornishman, like the late Bob F'itz- simmons, but came to America as a boy and started fighting in Buffalo in 1898. For years he mingled with the featherweights, his opponest in- cluding George Dixon, Dave Sullivan, Terry McGovern, oscar Gardner, Young Corbett, and other top-notch- CTS. He once knocked out Young Cor bett, only a few months before the Denverite took the title from McGov- ern, but was defeated in a return match. Broad's first experience of how it feels to be knocked out came in 1903, when he was stopped in the fourth round of contest with Aure- lio Herrert, the Mexican, in Butte, Mont. The Englishman was an all. most champion as a featherweight, but his defeats by Herrera and Han lon reduced him to the ranks of the has4beens.

Kauff Is Placed In
 lst Division

Pomeroy, Ohio. Jan. 29-When called before the local draft board here yes terday to answer his questionnaire, Benjamin Michael Kauff, centrefielder of the Giants, waived all exemption claims and was placed in Class 1.
 kauff stated to the officials that he was ready for the call to arms at any time and would be glad to journey to
 France. He will take a physical ex- animation soon, and if passed may
 be mustered into the service. Whether Benny can pass the ex-
 animation is another matter. One of Benny's arms stopped growing before
 the other, with the result that his left arm is about two inches longer than his right. This divergence in the length of his arms does not bother
 Benjamin in his profession of whaling the horsehide. Benny also has several fingers knocked northeast and others southwest. Crooked fingers
 were the cause of Heinie Groh's rejec- | tion.
 With Joe Wilholt, Jim Thorpe and
 Ross Young on the side lines, the out field of the Giants should not be se- riously weakened, but Benny's long
 drives will be missed in the teams 1 offensive.

EASTERN STICKS
 TO DECISION ON OPENING

New Haven, Jan. 29-Latest reports from the baseball rialto indicate that the Eastern will make good it's decis- ion to start the season, regardless of whether the International or New York State Leagues survive. But the makeup of the Eastern circuit may depend on the actions of those leagues. If one or both suspend, then the Eastern may seek a couple of cities in the vacated territory. If they continue, then the Eastern viii be made up from other available cities.
 It is pretty well established fact that New Haven, Bridgeport, New London, Hartford, Springfield and Worcester will be in the league, but Lawrence and Portland are the weak sisters. In all the talk over prospects of starting, the likelihood of the In- ternational and New York State breaking up, and the possibility of taking over some of the territory, has come the intimation that Lawrence and Portland would be dropped and activities in the league centralized more than they were last season.

FULTON NOW WANTS TO
 BOX MORAN IN DENVER

New York, Jan 29-Luke Dorgan received the following telegram last night from Mike Collins, Fred Full tons manager, in Denver:
 Advise immediately if you would consider switching fight to Denver, Feb. 22. Would draw big. Wire col. lect."
 Dorgan got himself blank and sent the following reply:
 Everything arranged for New Or leans. Have transportation. Too late to switCh.'
 Just why Collins wants to transfer the Fulton-Frank Moran bout from , New Orleans is hard to fathom. Dom- mick To~torich has made great prep 9ration and is basking in great ex- pectations over this meeting on Wash ington's Birthday. He has gone to a great deal of expense, and in a letter to Old Sobersides Ro-gan he predicts that a record house will see the bout that will land either man right on Jess Williard's front stoop.
 Collins evidently has been listening to the Denver promoters, who are try ing hard to put the great little noun tain town on the boxing map.
 Leo P. Flynn, the best judge of boxing points in this country. tells us. however, that Denver is still shy when it comes to mastering a respec- table gate" Leo recently had the pleasure of counting a short gate for Kid Norfolk, who was waited to sleep with one of Sam Langford's "occa- sionals." Leo told Dorgan last night that the Moran-Fulton bout in Den yer would not draw s3 900.
 Moran is on his way back to Camp

vision downward" would mean, many of the weaker clubs will have a hard time getting through the season. They are looking for a certain loss Of patronage on account of the war. Many men engaged in factory work will be buster this year than last; many others will not be able to afford as much for baseball as formerly, and many young men who used to go to ball games regularly are now in the army. So the outlook is for decreas-. ed attendance all along the line.
 Can the weaker clubs shoulder de- creased attendance, at the same time cut prices and keep going through the 1918 season? is a question that the men interested financially in the game would like answered.
 ''The public generally doesn't real ize on what a narrow margin baseball is conducted" said baseball official yesterday. "Only four or five clubs stand to make any money of any con- sequence in a season. A poor playing team, bad stretch of weather in big cities and the club in small city sees it's chances of winning on the season gone. If these clubs :. have been struggling to keep even in good years, how can they be expected to cut prices even or cents, wher. they are facing a lean year?
 Baseball is the most taxed busi- ness in the United States today. We are taxed on railroad transportation, taxed on Pullman tickets. taxed on baseballs, taxed on bats and taxed on uniforms - indirectly. Finally, we have to collect a tax for the govern ment on admissions that probably will cost extra men to handle, and then, as a last straw, we have to pay a tax on our receipts for each game if there are any left.
 "We haven't been able to save much money in cutting players salar- ies, despite the matter that has been printed about Federal League war salaries being 9 thing of the past The average pay of an ordinary ball player is $3,0O0-and stars get a lot more. The youngsters of course don't get as much.
 "There are some men who don't seem to care whether they win or lose, but they are few. The majority are business men who have invested their money and don't want to lose it.
 They want to keep up baseball, be- cause they think the country need' 1 it at this time, but they can't be blamed for not wanting to lose their | money. and they most certainly would l luse if they cut prices now"

Yale Trying to Arrange Rowing Races and Base ball Games With Prince ton and Harvard.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 29-Al- though Yale athletics will be permit ted and encouraged by the Athletic Board of Control during the spring, conditions will be decidedly fin formal and all events arranged will be subject to cancellation and decid- ed restrictions.
 Permission has been given by the athletic officials to the undergraduate managers to sound Harvard and Princeton regarding arranging base ball and rowing events under such limitations.
 The athletic officials will insist that, in case of any crisis incident to the war arises all athletic events which have been arranged be dropped with out remonstrance. No games will be arranged which require long trips. It is probable that all games that are played will be in places which will al low the Yale team to return home the same night.
 No elaborate or lavish expense in preparations will be permitted. No Commencement Week matches will probably be permitted, this being against the present war temper of the Yale faculty Definite dates will not be arranged till after the begin- ming of the Spring term in April, ac- cording to present plans.
 Many of the Yale athletic officials believe that the university does not possess the material for definite, for nal teams. Efforts were made last week to organize varsity hockey team, and less than a dozen candi- dates reported. The attempt was abandoned.
 It is regarded unlikely that the track material in college will allow events with outside organizations, aside from the usual freshman events, but it is hoped that the at tempis to hold few informal base ball games and rowing races with Harvard and Princeton, without elab- crate preparation, may be successful.
