 BURIED IN SNOW

 Is Reported

Syracuse, N. r., Dec. 15.-White landscapes stretching away in end- less succession greeted central and northern New York today after the first widespread snowstorm of the season.
 Swept along on q wind which reached maximum velocity yester day of nearly 6O miles an hour in some places, the storm served ef- fectually to hinder highway and railroad traffic, throughout the af- focted area. On Oneida lake north of here, where the blizzard was un- hindered in it's sweep, several boats were blown ashore and the crews forced to make their way through tlinding snow to shelter.
 The fall of snow and drops of temperature which accompanied the storm, varied in this city the mer- cury remained several degrees above zero throughout yesterday, although q cutting wind gave the impression of severe cold, and drifted a six to eight inch snowfall in exposed places.
 Ogdensburg reported the coldest weather thus far this season, with a snowfall of approximately six inches. Ferry service across the St. Law rehce was interrupted slightly. Wa tertown felt the breath of cold wind, but snow was almost totally absent, although in the rural regions of Jefferson county it had fallen heavily.
 At Old Forge the snow was re- ported as being II inches deep, with highways practically sealed to traf- ilc. The temperature was about 20 degrees above zero. Twelve to IS inches of snow in Madison county made travelling difficult in the out lying districts and hindered street

Modern Stars Lacking
 Spirit of Old Timers

Chicago, Dec. 15.--Hank O'Day, veteran National league umpire, says the game of baseball has chang cd entirely in the last 30 years. 0 Day has particular reference to the types of players.
 "The old-timer played harder be- cause he loved the game more and thought less of how much he was going to get for his efforts.
 Tn the old days the players fought the umpires, but after the game all the fussing was forgotten. The next day was a new game.
 The modern player can remem- ber a close decision you gave against him three years back, when ever you happen 10 give him tho wrong end of debatable play.
 Love of base hits, a greater love of money, and too many allbis have hurt the standard of present play" says O'Day.

The manager of the Key stones warned Aronson, general manager of Boys club teams that he would bring down a team which would win, but Aronson is from Missouri and won't take his word for 1t until after the game.

Mems Clothing.

clothes is too high. Presumably the
department refers to mems clothes.
Many men will agree with the depart
ment, but they admit that conditions
are happier than three or four years
ago. Then a ready made suit. which
is the only kind most people know
anything about, was quoted at fig
ure prohibitive to a married man, and
a swell tailor-made suit could only be
worn by a man of great wealth, great
credit or great nerve. During the high
cost Of living and higher cost of cloth
ing some of the most eminent and
modest men wore patches where they
had not worn them since days Of boy
hood. Conditions have SO improved
that a young unmarried man can now
dress superbly and may even keep
two suits at the same time. The mar
ried man is still having some struggle
to make himself attractive, but by
careful steaming, pressing, brushing
and a little darning he can bravely
face the world and does not have to
walk backward. We are getting more
