valuable assistance of the student in

future work Of the corps progresses
as has the work during the period
between the opening of the college
and the present, the university will
be afforded a splendid opportunity of
being classed as a distinguished
school by the var department. This
is an honor that no school in the
northwest has achieved since the war.
If every educational institution could
have such an efficient unit as I've
seen today, it is my opinion that We
as a nation would have little TO fear
from possible encroachments of hos
tile powers"
Maj. Cleary has since November
first been inspecting the various units

ing as far east as Cheyenne. He left
San Francisco at that time for this
purpose.

The Texas Chamber of Commerce
estimates that the state in the last
fiscal year has produced $105, 900, 900
worth of oil, yet Theodore H. Price,
a financial expert who recently re-
ported on the conditions in Texas, de-
clares that in the opinion of many
financiers, that great total of pro-
duction did not suffice to cover the
sums lost within the state by invest
ment in doubtful or unsafe oil stocks.
Those get-rich-quick companies
which made tremendous promises of
immediate profits and unheard of di-
vidends, not only did not fulfill them
but the total oil prouction of the
great state would not suffice to cover
the sums lost either through fraud
or mismanagement.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that the people who bought Lii
berty Bonds and are holding them to
maturity did not lose money in their
investment. The interest promised is
being paid promptly and the principal
will be paid promptly and in full at
maturity. The sum lost in oil stocks
in Texas, if invested in Government
securities, would have yielded invest
ors between S4,462,5 800 and $6562, 500
in interest, would have saved the ma
ton and legitimate business $105, 600
900 and would have yielded the in
vestors who held to maturity some
think like $15,750,0 00.
However, the movement of the Saw
ings Division Of the Treasury De-
partment to promote saving and safe
investment aided on all sides by
banks and legitimate brokers, has not
been without strong beneficial effect.
Mr.. Price found in his investigation
that speculation in wildcat stocks had
received a severe setback. He says:

stocks which vas prevalent through

men are poorer if not wiser as a re-

GAMBLING IN EARLY
YEARS OF BASEBALL
Intimately identified With Game
in the Late Sixties.
Much Harm Was Done to Sport by
Progenitors Of Present-Day Follow
ers Of Race Track Through
Element of Chance.

The old Cincinnati team was the pio.
neer salared club of baseball though
there is a conflict in authorities as to
the exact year in which the team went
under salary, Edwin A. Goewey writes
in Leslie's. In the Spalding official
baseball guide the year is given as
1865, while Albert G. Spalding, in his
book Of memoirs, Baseball" gives
the year as 1869, and cites enough de-
tail to make it evident that the latter
date is correct. Anyway, 1t was in
1869 that the Red Stockings made their
phenomenal record. The official rec
Ords give 81 games won, none lost, and
one tied with the Haymakers of Troy,
N. Y. There is no doubt about the tie
game and that no contests were lost,
but both Mr.. Spalding and Harry
Wright, the heads of the team, give
b6 as the total of games won.
From ancient baseball lore, particu-
laTly the "reminiscences of Mr.. Spald-
ing, who played leading role in put
ting the game on its feet, later saving
It from the gambling and commercial
element, and did much to pOpularize
American sports generally, it is cleaned
that gambling was intimately identi-
fed with the game in the late sixties,
much harm being done to the sport by
the prOgenitOrs of the present-day fol-
lowers of the racetracks and other
places affording opportunity for finan-
cial gain through the element Of
