NSN ~SS
Hickey said.
The .pestins was called despite the
protest OF o. II. Wathen. president Of
the Louisville club, who sought to
have 1t postponed until March when,
he believed, conditions would be more
favorable. The other club owners.
however, thought otherwise.
Appointment Of a schedule commit
tee. deciding on the number Of. games
to be played. and the date on which
to open the season will be among the
chief questions. The general feeling
seems to be for q schedule Of 140
games and the opening Of the reason
not before May l..
A. f. Timme, president Of the Mil
yankee club, will seek adoption Of a
novel scheme intended to revive the
old time fighting spirit among players
and stimulate interest in pennant
races. President Timme will propose.
that cent Of every paid admission
for the entire season be set aside as
a general fund to be divided among
which they finish.
my plan il to have a certain per.
centage Of such a fund, which would
total about $4,000 for the season, d.
vided among the first seven clubs"
President Timme explained. "Give
twenty-five or thirty per cent to the
club winning the pennant: twenty-five
or twenty per cent for the team
finishing second, and so IN down the
list.
This. 1tbelieve. would put the
game back on its old time fighting
basis, such as existed years ago.. The
been that all Of the interest conferred
in the leading club, despite the fact
that teams in second and third place
were often superior, but were unable
to retain the lead because of injuries
tn players. Give these men some
thing to fight for and the desired re.
suits will be achieved"
The feeling among the club owners
according to all reports. leans to the
employment Of young blood" mex
season. especially tho players whe
Of the cantonments. The cry of high
salaries is heard from all quarters
and the club owners are apparently
unanimous that radical action will
have to be taken to place the ealafJ
question on a sound basis. All are
agreed that the salaries Of former
years were, entirely too high to as
sure business success.
Something In regard to the employ
r1ent OF new managers 10 expected II

officially announced that Jack Egan

favorite with the Louisville baseball
public. will in all probability agar

toned" as the possible leader Of tn
Milwaukee. club.
While all of the club owners main
tain an eloquent silence on the sub
ject. it is reliably reported that tn
association lost between 100000 an
$4,000 on the 1918 bob-tailed sea
son, which was abruptly ended earl!
in August as a result of the work o

ENGLINSH KINGS OF FRANCE

The first English monarch to as
sumo officially the title of King of
France was Edward Ill, the victor of
the great battle of Crecy. From the
43rd year of the reign of Edward I'M
til the 5th of November, 1900, when
George III. occupied the throne, the
royal style and title of British mon
archs was by the Grace of God, of
Great Britain, France, and Ireland
King, Defender Of the Faith On the
latter date, just 118 years ago today
the privy council, in consequence Of
the Irish union, dropped the old style,
with it's claim to French sovereignty.
AS a result of this change the Eng
fish language was first used in the Of
fetal foreign correspondence of the
British government, all such CORES
pondence having previously been car
ried on in the French tongue. Owing
| to the Sale law Queen Elizabeth was
| excluded from the inheritance" of
France, but she declared that if she
could not be queen, she would be
| king of France. The French rulers
| long assumed the title of king of
| England and Scotland, so the warning
| powers were even in the matter of
royal pretensions. This custom has
by no means died out, and many rulers
| of today claim to be king of Jerusa-
! lem and other countries over which
| they have not the slightest sovereignty.

ACCORDING TO THEIR LIGHTS
savages Ruled by Customs and Cere.
monies as UnalterabIe as Are Be-
Iiefs of the West.

If life in the New Hebrides can be
described in irreducible terms Of prim-
tive instinct, it is none the less gov
erned by an elaborate ritual of tribal
ceremony, by the powerful influence Of
taboo, by customs as rigid and impreg-
nable as the towering forest fastness.
That the old are buried alive is as
right and orderly to the truculent saw
age as that night follows day, or that q
warrior dies by the hand of his enemy
if he does not first speed his own ar
row. Against this barrier of dark
faiths and unprobed certainties, the
wanderer from the West, with his trou-
bled vision and ever-restless feet,
throws up for himself but a f1imsy
counter-illusion of civilization. Let his
trading schooners make their perilous
voyages through the channels, darting
in and out of the nameless, land-locked
harbors. Let him spread his net of
commercialism. Let him take away
pearls, tortoise shell, beche de mer,
copra, sandalwood, or perhaps a hui
man cargo destined for the great labor
markets East and West, leaving in
their place the cheap product of fac
tories, or, better still, secretly, guns
and ammunition. The chances are that
one day his fate will find him out. And
if the time should come when he re-
turns no more to that same civiliza-
ton which betrayed him in an ultimate
need to the savages Of an obscure
island whose only costume is neck
lace, his death will merely cancel an
outstanding account.-Gertrude Emer-
son in Asia Magazine.
