PLAYER LIMIT IN BIC LEACUES
 TO BE RAISED

New York, Feb. 9.-President John Heydler of the National League said recently that when the majors had their joint meeting in Chicago this week a rule would be adopted limit ing the number of players which each club can carry out of season to thirty-f1ve. There is no limit now on the number of players a club can tie up outside of the season. Some of the clubs now have as many as forty to take South on the training trips.
 Before the war the player limit for out of season was thirty-f1ve, but when the break came with the minors and because of war conditions this limit was abolished. The result has been that some of the clubs have tied up many more players than they can possibly use. With the number limit ed to thirty-five, there will be many more players available on the base ball market It will be better thing for the players, as much of the young excess taken under contract to the more prosperous clubs may be able to land jobs with other clubs. Last year the player limit in both leagues during the championship sea- son was placed at twenty-five. The 1 American League, has always main l tained this number, but the National 1 League cuts it's limit down the period 1 of the war. When baseball pros | posered last season, the National i League, at the suggestion of the New l York and Chicago clubs, went back 1 to the twenty-five player limit during | the playing season.
 The training season which begins at the end of the present month, will | league clubs have ever taken. Close to forty players, regulars and recruits
 will be taken by nearly all of the clubs If the leagues adopted a play l limit of thirty-five, it will still be pos | sible for the clubs to take othel youngsters South but not under con i tract.
 More young players wills get { l chance to make good this season thar ever before. Many of the majo7 league veterans are about at the ent of their baseball careers, and the re
 cruits have a better chance to fill th'
 vacancies, if they can make good.
 Major league managers figure t11a
 the clubs will be in much bette
 shape to begin the .championshil
 season then ever before because al of them will take part in interleagu
 series. Games between the majo league clubs bring about better re suits. according to the managers, thai games between the majors and tn i minor league clubs of the South. l few years ago it was a, novelty fo ! National and American League club T to clash before the season started In fact there was a strong feelin s against the practice among the base ball managers.
 at ha i7-n1 l ! changed, and this season more inter t league games have been booked tha = ever before in the history of tn I 1 game. Managers now consider tha ! the players get into better shap s playing against major league opposi ton that against the minor organiza D tions. The batting eye finds itse v quicker against real major 1eagu
 pitching than against the wild assor
 nent of bush league twisters, accord
 ing to the opinions of the big circu
 managers.

ChgrcE;;iEl Downs To
 Be Greatly T111proved

Col. Matt J. Winn, manager of the Kentucky Jockey Club, with D.. ATufphy, an architect, visited the Churchill Downs race track recently and planned extensive improv eme en ts to be made before the racing season starts. One of the most important changes to be made is the construc- tion of a bis new grandstand to ac- comodate the thousands who patron ize the track during the season, and especially on Kentucky Derby Day
 When the present stand was built, it ~as ample. but with the growth of the Kentucky Derby, which is now the leading turf event of this coun- try, the stand has not been large enough to accommodate the crowds.

ANTI-SEMITIC BALDERDASH


a certain third or fourth class
magazine some free advertising.
We don't want to do it, yet we
feel that our readers ought to be
acquainted with what is going on
in the Editorial" corners of some
of the journals that are being
published in this country.
We had never heard of the
pathfinder" printed in Wash
ington, D. C. Our attention was
attracted to it by one of our
subscribers, whose friend, a nom
Jew, told him of the malicious
article, from which we quote ex-
cerpts. If the magazine is in the
habit of printing articles such as
we refer to, it's name is an abso-
lutte misnomer.
The article in question, is en-.
titled, "Are Jews to Rule the
World?" 1t is full of insinua-
ton, falsehood and perversion of
facts. The writer exhibits the
profoundest ignorance about the
subject he mistreats, and one
marvels at the colossal impu-
dence of some men, who by the
way, say that they write with
malice toward none and charity
to ALL"
Here are some specimens of
the EDITORIAL"
"In the first place the Jews on
the average are smarter than
other people; not being Jews our
selves, we can say this in all hon.
esty. In almost every field of en-
deavor where Jews come into
competition with other races
they drive the other races out of
the commanding positions. The
Jew has a faculty of making use
of other people. The majority of
the great mercantile houses of
this country for example are
owned by Jews, but they employ
mostly non-Jews to represent
them as drummers, etc.
"The Jews are gregarious;
they like the cities and shun the
country. There are some $780,
900 Jews in America and half of
these are congregated in New
York City. Only 10000 Jews are
farmers. The Jew is too sharp
witted to settle down to anything
so humdrum as tilling the soil;
he likes some business which has
possibilities of extra large gains
and which doesn't call for too
much plodding."
Then follows this brilliant
piece of historical and sociology
cal confusion:
"The Hebrew conception of
heaven was a city with golden
streets. This conception is not

and this alone shows how differ
ent the Jew is. The Jew quar-
tiers in Amsterdam, London and
other European cities are the
worst slums imaginable; the peo-
pie live huddled up like hogs in
a pen but no inducements will
persuade them to quit these
places and settle in the rural dis
tricts where they could live san
itary, prosperous and happy
lives"
We lay claim to knowing some
thing about the conception of
Hebrews" The gentleman who
wrote this has his facts beauti-
fully mixed. Nowhere can he
find that we believe in a golden
Jerusalem. What he probably
has in mind is the description of
the New Jerusalem in the last
book of the New Testament
but we might add, for fear that
this man may not know it-that
the Jews do not now and never
did believe in the Apocalypse of
st. John.
The nasty insinuation that our
conception is not in harmony
with the ideals of most of the
rest of humanity, and this alone
shows how different the Jew u.s."
is of course apparent. The poor
understrapper who wrote this
trash evidently doesn't know
that the commandment to Glove
your neighbor" is Jewish; he
doesn't know that the idea Of a
universal God of justice and love,
is the very basis of the religion
of the Hebrews" He doesn't
seem to know that the Golden
Rule, as stated in the negative
and in the affirmative is a Jew
ish precept of life, in the first in
stance given by Hillel, and in the
second by Jesus; nor does he
seem to know that every ideal
fought for by the Allies, and
principally by our own govern
ment, were Jewish ideals, name
ly, justice, Righteousness, truth
and peace. Nor does he know
that the prophetic ideals for the
establishment of which the
world hopes and yearns, are Jew
ish. Let us recall for the benefit
of our writer" that Abraham,
Moses, Isaiah, jeremiah, Micah,
and Jesus were Jews-they lived
as such, preached as such, and
died as such. Incidentally, the
greatest philanthropist of his
day, Baron de Hirsch, was a Jew;
we might also add that Jacob
Schiff, Nathan Straus, julius
Rosenyald are Jews; in fact
the best givers of the day, with

Jew is equally a Jew; a Polish
Jew is a Jew first and a Pole Sec
ond, and so on" The implication
is that an American Jew is a
Jew first and then an American.
We venture to say that the scrib-
bier who wrote this was NOT
member of the immortal "Lost
Battalion of which the largest
number were Jews with unpro-
nounceable names-foreigners at
that, and of which the famous
Krotoshinsky was only a type.
The article is a long one, but
nearly every paragraph contains
some slurring remark or implica-
ton. For instance, it says that
the phrase deliver the goods" is
a Jewish phrase and "epitomizes
the attributes of the Jews"
Then follows the best piece Of
proof of the unutterable ignor-
ance of the fellow who wrote the
mess:
Marx, the main instigator of
the socialistic craze, was a Jew,
and most of the professional
"red" leaders and agitators
everywhere are Jews. Lenine,
Trotzky, Kun, Liebknecht, Lux
emburg, Eisner, Axelrod, Berk.
man, Goldman, Weinstein-these
are few of the international
Jews who have made trouble in
Europe and this country. The
international Jew knows no coun-
try, no flag, no religion and no
law; he rejects the whole doc
trine of patriotism as against his
interests, and hence he keeps up
incessant fight on it and on all
established Institutions"
Marx, a Jew! Marx was as far
from being a Jew, as the writer
of the article is from being a
friend of the Jews. Marks father
was a Jew, his mother a good
Christian, and Marx himself pri-
ded himself on being nothing"
Lenine a Jew-only the grossest
king of ignorance prompts a
statement like this. Kun-a Jew!
If the boy who wrote this-for
the article exhibits a most youth
full and immature knowledge of
things, had known anything
about matters of current inter.
est, he would have learned that
Bella Kun is a Hungarian of pure
stock, and that nowhere in the
history of his family is there a
strain of Jewish blood. Liebkn-
echt was a thorough Teuton, and
as for the rest that are mention
ed, they have long ago cut them
selves away from the body of Is,
rael.

Garfield, and Czolgoz, who muir

how about the parlor Bolsheviks
of today-why not mention
them? But no one need ever &C.
cuse an anti-Semite of even at.
tempting to be just.
1t seems that the inspiration
for this lot of "Shtuss" came
from an appeal which the office
of the pathfinder" received. We
quote further:
"They (the Jews) should scru-
pulously avoid all appearance Of
hyphenism; we have had enuogh
of that. For example the Path
finder has just received an ap-
peal from a Jewish organization
in New York asking US to publish
each week page of Jewish news,
and in the same mail comes q
prospectus of a movement to
spread Judaism.
Then follows:
"This is not a Christian"
country in the narrow sense of
being sectarian, but in the broad
sense our institutions are of
Christian development. The
great majority of our people will
stand in a solid phalanx to resist
attacks on those institutions and
will punish all attempts to I'M
dermine them. So let the Jews
keep on being meek and orderly,
and in that way they may then
come under the law laid down by
Jesus that "the meek shall inher-
il the earth"
We can assure the Pathfinder
that if they received an appeal,
it was simply because the public
ity department of the organiza-
ton in question did not know
that it was the character of a
sheet. We can assure the editor
that no Jewish organization has
any intention of spreading Ju-
daism" in the sense that it was
misunderstood by the man who
wrote this stuff. The Jews are
not PROSECUTING people-and
what the prospectus meant about
the spread of Judaism, referred
only to the religionizing of those
Jews who have become indiffer-
ent to the faith.
We are not afraid of the
threats of the editor of the Path
finder. The American Christian
public is not unmlndful of the
great contribution to American
life, of the American Jewish
public. 1t has not forgotten that
