BASE BALLS USED IN
EACH GAME COSTS $50
tBy Associated Press,

Eighty dollars for baseballs fol
each game in the Worlds series!
That sounds big, but nevertheless
that is. approximately what it will
cost to furnish the principal item for
the baseball classic this year.
AS in other things, the high cost
has hit baseballs, which now bring 500
a dozen. 1t is estimated four dozen
balls will be used in each game. On
this basis it is decided to play nine
games in the series, and if it becomes
necessary to run the entire striry, :.
fore the winner is sH,;dcd, it will
cost close to $1,000 for balls alone.
The reason that so many are used
is because balls fouled into the stands
or crowd are seldom returned. Dur
ing an ordinary game, however, most
of the balls which leave the playing
field, find their way back.
Manufacturers blame increased
prices paid for materials and the
high cost of labor for the present
price.
Horsehide used in covering the
baseballs has increased in cost during
the past three years about 25O per-
cent. The wool yarn has jumped 200
percent in three years. The official
ball of the National League, is made
with a cork center. The price of
this cork has doubled and special
thread used has increased almost
three times. The cork center ball
patented August 81, 1909. 1t weighs
5 ounces and is 8 inches in circum-
ference. This ball will be used in all
games played in the National League
ball park during the series. Another
ball, similarly made, and adopted
by the American League, will be
used in all contests in the junior
league ball park.

SENATOR AND
 PALMER CLASH

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-(P)-Sen- ator Frelinghuysen, republican, of New Jersey, and Attorney General Palm CT are now engaged ill what might be called a duel of words as each is say ing a good many things about the other that could not be called alto gether nice. It is believed that the trouble between the two men is the result of Frelinghuysen's attempt to discredit Palmer in the senate for the purpose of keeping him from being confirmed by that body as attorney general.
 Frelinghuysen is known to have been an intermediary between Presi- dent Wilson and German agents in the United States at the time that the Lusitania was tOrpedoed, the Ger mans having been anxious to condone the incident. He is also accused of using his senatorial authority to in timidate those who criticize him.
 The attorney general has accused Frelinghuysen of having been active in the sale of alien enemy property. asserting that the senator made a great deal of money thru his deals. He also says that Frelinghuysen great ly pleased Germany by his attitude.
