BASEBALL is LOSING
OUT WITH SUN GODS
BIeacherites In Major League
Cities are Passing Away.
on Big Days Fans Flock to orano-
stand and Overflow II to Dlsoom-
fort, While 6Ieachers Are
Comparatively Empty.

When proposals are heard In the ma
for leagues now and then to reouce
the proportion Of bleacher capacity
they are accompanied usually with the
explanation that the increased COST Oh
major league baseball requires 1t. But
now we hear q proposal from a veteran
minor league magLate that Dleacners
be abolished entirely, and 1t cannot De
| exactly due to the increased cost OF
minor league baseball, since the pre-
| sumption Is that various economical
measures have been inaugurated. In
| Guiding reduced player and salary linz
fits.
It brings up the question: Are the
| sun gods dying out in baseball2 n
! minor league magnate AYERS that they
are, and It might seem that conditions
in the majors give Endorsement to MS
| view. 1t has been noted that l ma.
| for league cities where the bulk OF
| the attendance was in the bleachers
in seasons past the sur seats today are
| distressingly bare. Even on big days
| the fans will flock to the grandstand
and overflow 1t to discomfort, while
! the bleachers present wide expanses
of empty seats.
But we do not think 1t follows that
the fan who used to sit in the bleachs
ers has deserted the national game.
Rather he is giving himself the PRIV.
ilege in baseball as he is In general
| living conditions Of something better.
| He can afford 1t and he will have what
he can afford. Perhaps then, In these
| days of big money for everybody and
even hod carriers making IS a day,
the uncomfortable bleachers are taboo.
They are passing, to become only q
memory of the days when the world
wasn't as good a place to live In az
1t is now-and the former b~leacherite
is becoming a grandstand a~ristocrat.
And yet, the bleachers were no hard
ship in the days when many of US
were young. We took a pride in sit-
ting nowhere else-that the grand.
stand occupants were people who didn't
really know and love baseball, but just
idlers drifting to a ball game out OK
curiosity or to kill time.
In those days, though, the bleachers
were the "close up in baseball. Now
they give nothing but a sort Of BIRDS
eye view, and that may be a contribu-
ting factor. The fan wants to be near
the diamond. When they moved the
bleachers back and swung the grand
stands around the base lines he nat
l. A. --~l-knnAd- Al
soon as he found the price.
A few years ago we would have said
that gaps In the bleachers meant de-
cline In real baseball interest, but nov
we have a new viewpoint and refuse to
fret when we see the sun seats empty
Hail the slogan Of the New Era: 4
grandstand seat for every fan, ano
enough money for every fan so that ID

EVERGLADES
SALE CAUSES
DISCUSSION
Point is Raised AS to Wheth-
er Money From Sale Can
Be Used to Meet Federal
Aid Road Law.
BY JOHN c. sRIcE.

Tallahassee, April 25.-That fifty
per cent of the amount received from
the sale of the states lands in the
Everglades. as provided in the Single
tary bill, passed Wednesday by the
senate. shall be applied to the roads
in the various counties OF the state,
and the point made by Senator Stokes
ITO the effect that this money for roads
could be used to meet the amount Of
.he federal aid apportionment for
roads. caused much discussion among
both senate and hou e members and
also the officials of the state road
funds to met such aid, must be ex-
pended on work under the supervision
and control of that department of the
state government.
1t was pointed out by those in favor
of providing federal aid that in it's
present shape the bill makes no pro-
vision whatever for meeting fedora;
aid. 1t merely, provides for dividing
the proceeds Of the sale OF the lands
between the school and road funds
OF the various counties, but specifies
that the road funds are to be expended
by the state road department.
The federal aid road act, and amend
ments thereto, require that the states
must assent to the provisions OF the
ac1 and must make Specific provision
for meeting the amount apportioned
to each state. 1t also provides that a
specified amount shall be apportioned
for each of three years and these
amounts must be specifically mce ny
the state.
AS there is nothing In the Single
tary bin providing when the lands
shall be sold, or what amount Is to be
used for roads, and as there is moth
ing whatever in regard to meeting
federal aid. it is very doubtful. in the
opinion of those who have given the
matter much thought, whether the
provisions OF the bill can be made to
conform to the requirements OF the
federal aid road law.
Chairman F. o. Miller. of the house
committee on public roads and high
ways. and Senator w. II. Igou, CHAIR
man of the corresponding committee in
the senate. will both give the matter
their closest attention and be prepared
to fully explain all requfrements for
meeting federal aid IL any attempt n
made to pass the Singletary bin with
out the same being amended before
the bill providing for a two mill levy
for meeting federal aid is acted upon
in either the senate or the house.

10 BUY BONDS
NOT DESIRABLE;
War Loan Organization
Urges War Stamp Holders
Not to Part With Securi-
ties.

Urging all holders of War Savings
Stamps to keep their holdings in these
government securities 6y all means.
Haynes .McFaddsn, .sxeeutive chair
man of the War Loan Organization,
has addressed a. letter to zone, and
county chairmen, copies of which are
received in Pensacola. He says:
The Savings division eof the War
Loan Organization has reported more
or less general effort on the part of
Liberty loan statesmen to persuade
holders of war Savings Stamps to
convert same into Fifth Victory Liberty
bonds
I'VE are requested to. call the at
tention of our workers to the fact
that such conversations are detriment-
al TO the interests Of the government,
and we earnestly recommend that pros
pective buyers of Victory bonds be
discouraged from cashing their stamps
to buy bonds.
TT is the earnest desire of our gov
ernment that the Victory Liberty loan
should represent new savings by the
people and this can be best accom-
plished by urging everyone to hold
the stamps and Abonds already pur-
chased, pledging future savings to the
Victory loan. The installment plan
should be largely used in paying for.
the Victory loan. In this way the
biggest and best results will be ac-
complished. not alone ins placing the
fifth issue, but also in teAching thrift
and economy to the American peo-
pie.

ARMY NURSES ALSO
SERVED, DATA SHOWS
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON. Oct. 16-That army
nurses who served overseas with the
American forces during the war had
their share Of service and suffering is
shown in the final report on the ac-
tivities corps, made by Miss Julia c.
Simson, acting director, who headed
the Army nursing service abroad. Be-
tween May 8, 1917, and May 81, 1919.
1O,245 nurses out of total Of 21,4S0
enlisted for the war saw service over
seas. Three were wounded in action
and 26S died while on duty.
The first six attachments Of nurses
,ent to France replaced nurses in Brit
- h hospitals. German torpedo at
: acks on hospital ships had forced the
English army to care for it's wounded
as far as possible behind the battle
fronts. Following up service in the
base hospitals. American nursing de-
teachments also began to go forward
and in December, 1917, General Haig
mentioned a number of them in dis
patches for gallant service in the
casualty clearing stations.
But the real work of the American
women commenced July Is, 1918, with
their own army when the final German
attack was stemmed and the great VIC
torious allied offensive started.
From July IS to November II, the
amount of work done was such that
no praise would be great enough"
Miss StimSon says. 1t was not at all
uncommon for nurses to work IA to Is
hours 4 day for weeks at time, and
some hospitals with only 70 or so
nurses cared for patients to the num-
Der Of 2,100. One hospital had 5000
patients at one time with 70 nurses
to take care of them. Officers, nurses
and men worked themselves to the
limit of physical endurance and that
limit was beyond any which might be
expected of human beings
Soldiers Crowded Her Place.
On armistice day, 1S4,421 American
soldiers, sick and wounded. were in
hospitals and there was shortage OF
6,925 nurses. The records showed that
the peak" of wounded was actually
rounded at Meaves center on Novem-
Der 16, where 20,1S6 patients were
taken into ten hospitals, with 394 nur-
ses assigned. The shortage Of nurses
was due entirely to the fact, the re-
port says, that transportation had not
been available to get more into France
So great was the rush OF COMBAT
sx,ops to the front.
Nurses were dropping from fatigue,
around the operating tables at the
finish, but complaints from them were
almost never heard, Miss Stimson
says. Conditions under which they
lived we're bad in the extreme, crowd
ed in dorrnitories or tents, usually
without heat and adequate light, often
without floors except such as was
furnished by canvas sheeting. Nurses
In many instances were obliged to
wash and iron their own uniforms and
little recreation could be furnished
for their few hours Of duty.
The homeward exodus began in Jan
uary, and about 250 a week secured
passage during the first + months OF
the year.
