OWNERS CONSIDER

~ OHICAGO, December 8.-Club
owners and representatives
of the American and Ma
tional Leagues rallie d
around today for their annual
meetings, but prospects of accom-
pliShing sales or trades seemed to
have more appeal than routine
business.
Each league had its own prob
lens, such as radio broadcaSting
specification of base ball and
player limits, but the urge to buy,
sell or trade playing stock was up
permoSt.
The Chicago Cubs and White Sox
were especially eager to do business in
players and their activities promised
TO keep the other clubs busy Consid-
ering propositions or fatty refusing
them.
Hack Wilson, the Cubs fallen home
run king, was the center of interest, al
though rival club owners seemed to be
patient enough to wait and see if the
Cubs could not be crowded into asking
waivers on him.
Interest in Wilson Wanes.
1t was reported during the minor
league meeting at West Baden. Ind,
last week, that the Cincinnati, Brook
lyn, Boston and Philadelphia National
League clubs were interested in the
disposal of wilson's services, but by to-
day, only the Robins and Braves ap-
peared to be still willing to consider
the hacker
The Cubs are after another out
fielder, and had an eye on EStil Crab
tree of the Reds. The Reds, however,
want to keep Crabtree, which appar-
entity has spoiled their interest in Will
son. The same is true OF the Phillies
who do not care to part with Chuck
Klein in return for Wilson or any one
else
Cleveland needs another infielder and
would like Ralph KresS of st. Louis.
The Cubs are looking for an infielder,
just in case young Stanley Hack, OBJ
tanned from the Pacific Coast League,
fails to measure up. Leo Durocher Of
the Reds has been mentioned as the
Cub choice. John MCGraw, manager
of the New York Giants, admits he is
well set" for next season, but could
use another pitcher. The latter Bitua-
tion, however, obtains on every club.
Attack on Radio Likely.
Radio broadcasting rights appeared to
be in for a rousing battle. The Western
Union Telegraph Co. has sent a repre-
sentative to present its claim to eX
elusive news dissemination rights in
major league parks, and with vigorous
complaints from minor leagues, radical
action may result in the joint meeting
of the leagues Thursday.
The question of how many umpires
are necessary to handle games also may
be discussed. The American League is
reported as leaning toward a twO-um-
pire system, with the National holding
for three This question also will be
threshed out in the joint meeting, if it
becomes an issue,

The man who says his business
never was bigger or better was

He is Joseph Carr, Columbus, Ohio,

The 1881 season, just closing,
President Carr said, was a record
breaker in attendance and gate re-

the Chicago Bears will have a 80

Too Much Food Not Good for Children

fPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
"Give small amounts of food at a
time when serving little children" adj
vises the specialist in child nutrition
of the bureau of home economics,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. "Even when they have learned
to like a number of foods children are
bewildered by too much variety at
once. The very young child is one
at-a-timer,' and gets along best when
allowed to clear his plate of one or
two fooCs before anything else is given
him. Always serve children small
enough portions so that they can finish
the whole amount. Parents sometimes
overestimate the capacity of the young
child. and serve him so much that he
is too discouraged to begin to eat,
or that he cannot finish even though
he makes a good start. If child is
unusually hungry, second helpings may
be given"
The little girl in the picture is
seated comfortably at her own little
table, where her meals have been
given from the time that she could
first handle spoon or fork. The joy
of accomplishment became all-absorb-
ing when she first learned to pour her
milk without splitting out OF her own
little pitcher, into her tumbler, which
was carefully chosen, to fit her tiny
grasp. The meals are served on an
oilcloth dOilv of CAV DattprQ the floor
is washable, and she wears a large
bib, so that if she spills little food
in the process of learning self-help, it
really doesn't matter.

cial point of serving the childs food
so it will be attractive, and the little
girl always has her own dishes and
utensils. This helps the mother TO

Messina Rightly Claims
Most Wonderful Clock

Messina, one of the most important
towns in Sicily. is regaining the glOries
it lost in the appalling earthquake
some % years ago. One of the most
striking of its new buildings is tower
which contains the most wonderful
clock in the world.
The tower is surmounted by bronze
lion holding the city flag in its front
paws. At midday the lion lashes its
tail, waves the flag and roars. A
bronze cock placed below the lion
crows greeting to sunrise, noon, and
sunset. Two arched recesses contain
the bells upon which the hours are
struck by figures of Diana and Clar-
enza, the heroines who save the city
from being sacked by the French after
the Sicilian Vespers in 1882.
On each of the four sides Of the
tower is a luminous dial eight feet in
diameter upon which are displayed
the phases of the moon, a perpetual
calendar, and the movements of the
planets round the sun.
Below the clock face is stage upon
which mechanical figures enact scenes
appropriate to the great feasts Of the
church.-London Tit-Bits.
