The numberous sales of ball clubs and the shifts of the managers during the past winter has awakened fandom to the great revolution that has come about in these branches of baseball since 1913.
 Only five complete baseball years have elapsed since 1913, yet within the five year period nine of the It big league clubs have changed hands and only five of the 16 managers still retain their old jogs.
 William II. Locke was president of the Phillies in 191S-but now the reins are held by William r. Baker. Harry N. Hempstead has been succeeded by Charles Stoneham as president of the Giants. Jim Gaffney, after accommodating a bankroll through the 1914 efforts of the Braves, relinquished ownership to Percy Houghton and associates, who in turn sold the Braves to George Grant. Charlie Murphy and Charles 0. Taft have been succeeded by the Weeghman- -Rilson- RigIey interests in Cub ownership. Schuy Ter Britton possessed the Cardinals in 1913 but the club has changed hands since then and Branch Hickey was the last president of the outnt Before another play balr' sounds the Cardinals will change hands again.
 Of the eight National league owners in 1913 only three remain-Ebbets of 1 Brooklyn, Hermann of Cincinnati and Dreyfuss of Pittsburg In the American league the hold over' owners are Chrales Comskey of the 1 White SoX, Frank Navin of Detroit, Ben Shibe of Philadelphia and Ben S. Minor l of Washington. l Robert L. Hedges passed from major l league view when Phil Mall made a 1 splendid offer for the Brownies. Charles Somers sunk a banllroll while piloting l the Cleveland Indians and then was l forced to quit in favor of James Dunn,
 who has found the investment most profitable one. Frank Farrell, another unfortunate, sold his Yankees to Jacob ! Ruppert and Captain Houston. Joe Lan- min made a barrel of money while with | the Red Sox and then disposed of his team to Harry Frazee The following list shows the ownerships

STABILIZING THE DOLLAR

ID ROF IRVING FISHER makes attractive presentation his plan for stabizng dollar, by the expeden of decreasing the of gold in gold dollar by increasing it, accordingly prices up down. The level of prices he would determine by the index number which is figure presenting the comparative price of selected group of commodities.
 The index number in 1913 Prof Fisher says taken 100 gives index number at the moment Of 3, which that the price of the selected cOmmodieshe average price has than doubled
 The dollar of other values If other values go up and the dollar remains at the value lift in prices Is cut in wages But if the amount of gold in dollar is in creased fast price lift decreased fast prices fall Prof Fisher is of the opinion that the dollar in will equally with rising, falling prices.
 That is to say if the dollar of 1913 contained 25S grains gold the dollar of 1918 would contain slightly than 56 grains if it constructed according to the theory Prof. Fisher and 1t would have purchasing power equal to the dollar of l9 the entire of prices and than double the purchasing power in the of rent wheat meat perhaps in Bridgeport where there has been special congestion and difficulty, but throughout the United States.
 There are difficulties in the way The index number not precise ndcaton and very close ndcaon of changes in fundamental prices price of those things which peo- pie most frequently must buy that they may live Rent coal wheat meat clothing and few such things the prime fac tors which make living cheap dear according to how they measure against wages

 Prof Fishers address at least to direct attention to the too often overlooked fact that increases alone be satisfactory method for combating high prices Prices tendency faster than wages but if the dol lar itself in proportion purchasing might be re lively unaffected The effectiveness of the change would the nature of the commodities included in the table from which the index number evolved These dtes would have be of nature representative of the f the ordinary househod they would need to be weighted with respect to each other.

HIDE GRAIN FROM THE
 BOLSHEvISTS Bury It In Large Pits Rather Than Give It to Huns. MANY GERMANS
 STAY IN KIEV Cost of Food As Great In Kiev As It Is In
 Moscow.

Warsaw. Jan 23.,---CBy The Associated Press) )-- Ukrainian peas ants are hiding grain from the Bol- shevists by burying it in large pits.
 It is reported that large numbers of Germans. remain in kiev and other Ukrainian towns, They have, it is said, no intention to leave and it is reported they have been offered large sums to fight in Petlura's army or in the ranks of the Bolshevists.
 Common soldiers are said to be getting 30 rubles and officers from 100 to 200 rubles a, day for service.
 kiev is being deserted by all for eigners, most of whom are headed for Koyel, Cracow and Warsaw
 German diplomatic agents have is sued warnings for all who are not natives to leave the country There are few American refuges from Kiey who have reached Moscow, but are unable to leave there because they have no funds.
 The cost of food at Kiav is almost as great as at Moscow Clothing is so scarce that it is common to see people robbed of their shoes on the street. Many German officers have been stripped naked by bands of street providers.
 Fugitives are frequently una ble to get trains for Odessa, but, even if they leave in that direction, they are liable to be robbed by bands which are holding up trains. If they leave toward Kovel, they have to walk part of the way, although it is possi- ble to hire a cart if one has con- siderable money, or to buy room on flat cars used for transporting Ger man soldiers. It is said these sol dierS oftentimes become intoxicated build fires on the open cars and toss hand grenades into them for past time
 It is stated that General Bartho- lemy and 8 number of officers of the French army are endeavoring to reach Kiev to look over the situation. Many doubt that the party will ever return owing to Bolshevist activities in Ukraine, Petlura, the peasant lead CT, is @ Bolshevist, but one who wish es to rule independent of Moscow. With the end of the war the return of many soldiers from the front and IIIe 0EdCud llOI OI OhTdlIe DN lilH lTtF- mans, Petlura revived his propagan- da, with a result of many alleged out rages throughout the country. Pal aces and private homes are said to have been destroyed, art works and valuable book collections have been carried away, and it is said that many murders have been committed by his followers.
 This work is said to have been done | with much enthusiasm by the peas ants who were opposed to General Skoropadski, who issued an edict re- turning land to its former proprie- tors. The peasants are also said to hate the Geremans for supporting Skoropadski. The Germans are said | to have attempted to gain favor with the peasants in other ways, however. and have worked with Petlura The peasants dislike for the Germans has | taken the form of robbing soldiers and has also resulted in a great fall ing-off in wheat and sugar produc- ton. since .hey are obliged to sell to Germans.
