The world has learned one thing
about war under modern condi-

TO it. In old days killing ended
when the war was over. Now,
killing goes on just the same.
Through hunger and disease caused
by a war that started seven years
ago there will be more deaths
caused in the world this winter
directly due to that ,oar than the
total number Of deaths caused by
the war in its first year, 1914
1915.
Cancer week Is over. Let us
hope the hundred millions of
Americans thought seriously about
it. A statement by DR.. Charles
Mayo, of Minnesota, supplies
thinking material.

Immediate casualties, resulting
from injury or through disease.
During those two years 100000

The great wars against the
human race we forget and ignore.
Cancer, tuberculosis and other dis
eases kill more than any war aimed
at us could kill. This country does
not spend fighting those great in
ternal wars as much as would build
one single battleship.
A war against disease that kills
and against diseases like malaria
and hookworm, that make men
weaklings, would pay, and cost
little.

What's Wrong With Baseball?
ThereS s Not Enough Money

ninsula to play on teams which are
offering more money and fun. MANY
pastimers have left the local lots to
go with clubs down state and in
Maryland.
Baseball was never a paying pro-
position in Wilmington. Experi-
enced promoters of the national rec
reation have tried and failed. Ask
Pete Cassidy. Some of the old tim
ers in the game have been heard
to say no money was ever made in
baseball in Wilmington since early in
the 1900's and not enough then to
warrant the big investment neces-
sary.
The Evening Journal announced
early in the season the poorness
of the collection on certain lots but
this was denied. Now they say the
interest is lacking although as large
crowds as ever are attending the
games and more teams are playing.
which disqualifes this statement.
The interest is greater if anything.
1t cannot be said that the sport is on
the decline.
The All-Wilmington League is bat
Ting for existence and it is being
said that the City League is wob-
bling. This may be true about the
All-Wilmington but the City circuit
could not be in better condition, al
though the salary question is worry
ing some of the managers. It is liv-
ing up to its standard and progress
ing slowly but surely.

world by the tail the first year out

the Strongest organization of its kind
Every manager in the league has as
sured the league that he will play
out the schedule
Here's a suggestion that ought to
hit the baseball aiiment in Whining
ton right in the spot. II is being
said that twilight ball is popular.
Why not organize ten-team circuit

games a week, a twilight and Sat

idea worth working upon and will

le question has been asked:

me question has been asked:
whats the matter with baseball
in Wilmington"
There are so many little cogs not
working together that really do not
amount to much that the local stu
alton is very easily explained and
should be easily remedied.
No money!
Managers of several semi-pro
teams around Wilmington are Of
course putting up a yell. The gen.
eral depression is being felt in base
ball as we'll as in everything else
League lot games which used to
draw as much as $50 and $50 on a
Saturday afternoon have fallen to
collections that do not average $35.
Trying to pay players as much as
SIS a week out of S35 of course can't
be done and as a result many man
ayers are not able to keep their heads
above water. They are at the stage
of sinking altogether That's what's
the matter with baseball in Whining
ton.
More baseball is being played in
Wilmington than in any other year
Dul TINS SnOulu De a nelp fdlner tndn
hindrance for it is the national
pastime. With more baseball be-
ing played better players are de-
veloped. There is no doubt in the
minds of old followers of the sport
that there are ''better fish in the
sea than have ever been caught" In
other words there are better ball
players in Wilmington than those
who are travelling around on reputa-
tions.
OF course the public follows the
p. T. Barnum stuff and would rather
see the player who is basking in the
calcium glare than the one who has
not developed a reputation or may
never be one of the sort on account
of poor press agenting or otherwise
It is up to the managers to pick
these men for they are undoubtedly
as good as those who jump to some
other club for perhaps a dollar more
a game. The establishing a salary

amounts paid are considered, is neces-
sary to keep the jumpers down
