Base Ball Casualties.

Every Winter there is a turnover
Of some degree in the mana cement OF
the big league base bali teams as Vet
Grams drop out Of the running or shift
to other fields. This season, however,
Is extraordinary in respect TO the
changes Of higherup personnel. Seven
of the sixteen major league managers
have resigned or have been deposeu.
The American League has suffered Ill
this respect more heavily than its
elder brother in the game. These
changes have involved some Of the
most famous figures Of the sport. Yes
terday came the word. unexpected by
practically the entire base ball world,
that Iris Speaker had decided TO
leave base ball for a business career.
He has been one of the most interest
ing figures of the game for many sea-
sons. With him go into the base ball
discard Tyrus Cobb. George Sisler and
Eddie Collins, all players Of the first
rank, stars of the brightest magnitude
in their best days, which were only
yesterdays In fact. OF these four play
er.rnanagers Speaker was the most
s,,ccessful In the handling OF his team.
IJe alone Of the four had won a pen
can. Great as they were as individual

their toll Of Speaker, Cobb and Collins
and If they appear again in the

major league. The fifth man to leave

deposition Of the latter was no sur.
prise after the troubles of the past
season which led to the breaking up
of the team at a critical point in the
race. This is perhaps the first time
on record that a pennant and world
championship winning manager has
been dropped the season following his
triumph.

O. When was a motor car first
used by the White House?-W. f. S.
A. When the Tafts entered the
White House there was a new motor
brougham which has been designated
as 1.-The first motor car ever to be
used at the White House"
O. Has the cost of book production
increased in proportion to the sale
price of books?-N. p.
A The Publishers Weekly says
the cost of book production has been
increased IS per cent since 1914. This
corresponds. as generalization, to
the increase in the sale price of
books.
@. What are the penalties i'm
posed for operating planes without
certificate of registration under the
air commerce act of 1926?--A. NJ. X.
A. A penalty of $500, which may
be mitigated by the Secretary or
Commerce. is imposed for engaging
in interstate or foreign air commerce
without a certificate of registration,
or navigating registered aircraft

ness or in violation thereof, or serv-

A Memorial Stadium.

1t IS now proposed that bill will
be introduced in Congress early in
the session authorizing the erection
of a stadium on the Speedway as a
memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. This
plan has merits that should win for
1t the support of both houses. In the
first place a stadium is needed at the
Capital as a part of the national
equipment Secondly, it is meet that
the country should commemorate the
services of Roosevelt by memorial
structure here. An earlier. plan for
the Roosevelt memorial TO be located
in Potomac Park has met with op'
position, as too extensive and as not
symbolic of the character ana
achievements of the strenuous Presl-
dent. A stadium. declares Represent
ative Hamilton Fish, jr., who will
present the measure. will be a most
fitting tribute to those qualities OF
craftsmanship. fair play and love OF
physical exercise which were pre-
dominant IN the HE VI AiiSo"oi y
Roosevelt"
AS to the need of q stadium where
national events of an outdoor charac-
ter may be staged there is no ques-
ton. Frequently this lack has been
felt as occasions have arisen for great
assemblages Of the people. In former
nfS the nnlV
available place for such gatherings.
1t has been outgrown. The Airing
ton amphitheater is suitable only for
memorial ceremonies and it's capacity
is not adequate for a multitude. The
drill ground at Fort Myer is the
only present suitable place for mill
tary displays, and that lacks in ac-
commodations for spectators. Ath-
letic games can be played only on one
of the privately controlled playing
fields.
Other cities are equipped in this re-
spect, but Washington is lacking.
The work could not and should not
be undertaken by private enterprise.
The Government alone can and should
provide the stadium. The need for
this facility and the desire for ma
tional expression Of appreciation OF
Theodore Roosevelt combine to point
to early action on the bill which MI,
Fish will present at the opening OF
Congress.
