DIFFERENT NOW
In the Old Days There Were Few
Professional Leagues and Most
of the Players Donated
Their Services Free.

What nice, fat thing your profess
sional baseball player of today has
compared with that which the player
enjoyed before the professional game
was put on a real business basis, Al
Sphinx writes in the Cincinnati En-
quirer
Even in 1880, or less than forty years
ago, the players had wonderfully
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
lack OF sleeping car accommodations
were things, too, that the profess
slonais of that early day had to put up
with.
Players not members of the National
league in that far off day gave their
time and services simply for the senti-
ment that went with the sport and fun
afield.
! recall one team, the Akrons of
AKRON, o., who came all the way from
AKRON to St Louis TO play the Browns
in 1881
There were some great players on
That Akron team, notably Sam Wise,
VINO later played at second on Boston's
champion league team; Swartwood,
me hard hitting fielder who was later
with pittsburgh; Charley Morton, who
IS stiil in the game; Andy Pierce and
many other craekerjacks.
they made the long land dusty ride
ron Akron in the day coaches. Not
one q, OF them had the price of sleeper
Ihey arrived in st. Louis all GOV.
ered with smoke and CRIME and dust
ior travelling was dustier and rougher
ID those days than it is now.
FOR their pains the Akron boys
were given four days board at a
.neap hotel in ST. Louis and bus ride
70 and from the baseball grounds.
BUT, at that, they were happy go
lucky, well satisfied lot, who thought
Of nothing but cavorting on the field
'iiu having good time.

INDIAN WOMEN
CAN MAKE LACE
Sqliaws Were First Taught the Art
by Deaconess OF the Episcopal
Church--Has Become an
Important Industry.

AS one associates lace making Win
deft Fingers 1t is hard to realize that
the stoical squaw has the necessary
digital equipment for this work. But
in the Indian reservations in the far
and middle west lace making Is prov
ing a means toward economic indie
pendence for the Indian woman, the
New York Tribune states.
1t was through deaconess OF the
Episcopal church that lace making
was introduced to the Indian. Until
then squaws Of the first Americans
had not engaged in the decorative
arts except to make beaded garments
for their braves. In 1890, however,
the first lesson in lace making was
given to Ojibway squaws near Duluth.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota. one Of
the pioneer missionaries Of the Epls'
copal church among the redskins,
early realized that the solution OF
the Indian problem lay in making the
Indian self-supporting.
So successful were these efforts
that today lace schools are main
tanned on ten reservations. Their ex.
uuisite examples in cutwork. needle
point and bobbin lace have received
gold medals at five expositions, and
today the squaw, without neglecting
her household duties, can earn from
$75 to 500 a year.
To encourage just such activities
among the Indians will be one OF the
purposes of the nationwide campaign
of the Episcopal church. But to give
economic independence to the squaw
has not been the only accomplish
ment of the introduction OF lace max
ing on the Indian reservations. 1t mas
not only taught industry, but 1t mas
brought about cleanliness.
A report Of the Sybil Carter Indian
Lace association, named for the dea-
coness who introduced this work,
records that this industry has trans
formed the lives of Indian women
undertaking it. They can readily be
distinguished from the others by
their neat appearance and their
bright and hopeful faces.
A similar impression was obtained
by United States senator, VINO re-
ported that he had never seen nap
pier lot of women. "They not only
worked steadily" he said, but actu,
ally laughed and chatted together, IN
strong contrast to the apathet1c ana
homeless suuaws whom Bishop Whip
nile called upon Deaconess Carter to
befriend." 1t is planned also to re-
vive the old time arts or pead"orN
and basketry.
The association has a prominent
shop in New York, where the sales
of Indian work amount to about $lZ'-
900 annually.

([r@HE side draft in operating an
ordinary gang pillow with four
horses abreast wastes 20 per
cent of the horses energy" says
Woyne Dinsmore, secretary of the
Percheron Society of America. PRO
lessor w. A. White of the University
