What a nice, fat thing your profes-
sional baseball player of today has
compared with that which the player
enjoyed before the professional game
was put on q real business basis.
Even in 1880, or less than forty
years ago, the players had wonder
fully hard row to hoe, and very few
of them were paid for their playing.
There was only one professional
league in existence at that time, and
the players IN it were not paid the
gilt-edge salaries that are given even
the poorest players Of today.
Poor hotel accommodations and lacl
cf sleeping car accommodations were
things, too, that the professionals Of
that early day had to put up with.
Players not members Of the Ma
tional league is that far-of day gave
their time and service simply for the
sentiment that went with the sport
and fun afield.
recall one team, the Akrons OF
Akron, Ohio, who came all the way
from Akron to st. Louis to play the
Browns in 1881.
1ACAG " - = c0A4&( = 49, ky~s~4 - -
that Akron team, notably Sam Wise,
who later played at second on Bos-
tons champion league team; SWart-
wood, the hard-hitting fielder, who
was later with Pittsburgh; Charley
Morton, who is still in the game; Andy
Pierce and many other cracker jacks,
They made the long and dusty ride
from Akron IN the day coaches. Not
one Of them had the price Of sleep
er. They arrived In st. Louis all COW
cred with smoke and CRIME and dust
for travelling was dustier and roughe1
in those days than It is now.
For their pains the Akron boys were
given four days board at 3 cheap ho-
tel in ST. Louis and q bus ride TO and
from the baseball grounds.
But, at that, they were happy
go-lucky, well-satisfied lot, who
thought of nothing, but cavorting Of
the field and having good time.
The st. Louis Reds Of the early '70s
were d better team than the AIrons
Tom Sullivan was their catcher and
jim Calvin their pitcher, and in their
playing ranks were cracker jacks like
Packie Dillon, Tom 0ron, Tom Lotus

public schools enter eating places and
order a menu about sufficient for a
canary bird because their wages do
not permit them to eat full meals at
present prices Of food. It is hardly
to be expected that under such con-
ditions they will be able to do their
best work in school. We have heard
of nurses being employed to seek ca
ses of malnutrition among the pupils
of the schools and we fear that they
may find cases among the instructors
too unless they are paid wages more
in accord with living costs than many
of them are now getting.

The president "is requested not to

The preamble of the measure says
the senate is as much a part of the

into his confidence respecting the

SAYS HOUSE MEMBERS
Also Propose Several Changes
In Game Laws Now In Ef-
feet In Oregon.

Favorable action was taken by the
house this morning on the bill intro
duccd by Martin providing that can
ners shall label their goods showing
that all canned fruits and vegetables
ipacked in Oregon were Oregon grown.
Firms with headquarters in Oregon
are to designate on the iabol the local
address of the canncry or their nam or
flee address in Oregon. In the discus
sion it was stated that canneries IN
Salem label their finest peaches "Del
Monte and such, which is just trifle
too suggestive Of California. Should
the bill pass the senate and receive the
executive approval, the canneries would
have to add to the Del Monte Label,
packed in Oregon Then the eastern
buyers and consumers cannot be fooled
into thinking that oregon s choicest
fruits are grown in California.
The bill had TIE endorsement of the
Salem Fruit Union and the state hortu-
cultural society.
A game code for Oregon is sought to
be established in the game bill intro
duced and passed by the house this
morning Among the changes in hunt
ing proposed arc the following:
Open season for deer with horns in all
counties west Of the Cascade mountains,
September | to October 81; game birds,
such as ducks, geese rails and coots,
October l6 to February 10; bag limit
Is Of such birds in any one day and
not TO exceed 80 in any seven consec-
utivc days
The present law provides that no fe-
male Chinese pheasant may be killed
at any time. The bill Of this morning
in the house provides that three may be
killed in sny seven consecutive days.
The bill is now up to the senate and
executive approval before becoming a
law.
The bill to correct certain social
evils, especially in cities of the size
of Portland was indefinitely postponed,
thereby killing the bill 1t was urged
by the war department on training
camp activities.
Portland may have chance or
planning commission that will have
much to do in the future building Of
the city. Three bills introduced by
the Portland delegation received fav-
orable consideration.
John Almeter, who lost about $4,000
in the building of the medical college

men as his regular workers went into
the ship yards.

will deal exclusively with freight.
The new firm, which will have its
head office at Kobe, win have a eapi-

pany, both large concerns with head
offices in Kobe. 1t viii put eight

six Of 10000 deadweight tons each and
two Of 5000 each This fleet which will
aggregate some 10000 tons will be com
pleted for the most part this year at
a cost Of something like 100000 yen.
Keen Rivalry
"The indication. y said Ishida to-
day, "pointed to the keenest rivalry

PAY YOUR DEBTS

On New Years eve the cost of the
war to the United States stood at $22,-
000,000,O00. Practically all Of this
money had been raised by taxation
and by the Liberty loans. The entire
amount which had come into the
Treasury up to that time for war pur-
poses had either been spent or had
been ear-marked for specific bills.
Since the middle of November when
the armistice was signed the govern
ment has been borrowing at the rate
of $600,000000 every two weeks to
meet its war obligations AT this rate
it will have obtained from the banks
OF the nation from four to five billions
of dollars before the beginning of tAe
fifth Liberty Loan April 21. g
The people of the United States,
through their representatives In Con-
gress, voted for the expenditures which
made necessary the borrowing Of these
huge sums. The government IN antici-
patton of patriotic support from the
country in raising the Victory Liberty
Loan has already paid the bills. In
all justice and honesty the people Of
the United States will not fail their
government and will finish the job by
oversubscribing the last popular war
loan by an even larger percentage
than they did the four which have
gone before.
