Holler, vice president and general
sales manager, praise their work

our dealer organization has
handled more than 100000

"An of our sales records have

First Baseball Scandal
Over 70 Years Ago

The first baseball scandal did not
occur in 1888 as recently was limited
in this space Eddie Forbes, the very
good fight referee, has clippings to
prove that the boys started misbehav-
ing years and years before that. Says
Mr.. Forbes: "The first recorded in
stance of game being purposely lost
by collision of players was on Sep
TENDER %, 1865, when the Eckfords
defeated the Mutuals, 28-11, to the
great surprise of the spectators. Sub
sequent events showed that the game
was sold by three of the Mutuals.
Duffy, WansIey and Devyr. They were
expelled from baseball but Duffy later
was reinstated and played shortstop
for Chicago in 1870 and 1871. The
next noteworthy instance was that of
A. n. Nichols, James A. DevIin,
George Hall and w. n. Craver of the
Louisville club. They were expelled
on October 80, 1877, for crooked
play"

a THOUGH money occasionally Is
listed as a most sordid topic it
undoubtedly takes high rank among
those very interesting things about
which people insist upon talking.
Whether it is discussed as much in
sports as in Wall street and other realms
of big business is, of course, question
that is open to some argument. Yet, with
the season for the signing of baseball
contracts now under way, it again be-
comes evident that the methods of the
athletic gossipers are vastly different
from those of ordinary mortaIs.
Most people-even though there re-
main a few who dwell sorrowfully
upon the fact that they can scratch
up only a million dollars or so of pin
money-dote upon speaking in the
highest terms concerning their own in
comes and honorariums. 1t is very
human trait and I have no desire to
join the coyly philosophical space fill

seem to obtain from somebody eise's
golden rewards.

Only Three Big League
Pitchers Topped $4,000

Without going into a historic incl
dent when an American league pitcher
(not with the Yankees) took such esti-
mates of salaries as correct, called his
business manager liar and then was
forcefully persuaded to apologize, there
is competent authority for the state
ment that only three big-time hurlers
ever have been paid more than $4,000
q season.
That ! have 1t upon the same COM
petent authority that one of the hurI-
ers-and 1t is not Hubbell-is not
matter of particular Importance. Yet,
taken along with the swollen incomes
supposed to be earned by prize fighters
who, on the average, are lucky when
they can make $4,000 year, it does
provide some cause for thought.
Naturally this thought will be lost
upon the professional sports people as
well as upon the promoters of foot
ball universities who habitually over
estimate the size of their crowds by
10000 or so, and We. / have a sus-
picion that this continued speaking In
boxcar figures is an important indica-
ton of one of the very great ills now
besetting such enterprises.
SO far as the performers are con-
cerned, they grow so accustomed to
reading about such gorgeous purses
that they must become discouraged
when they discover that really they are
going to be paid only such sane sum
as the traffic will bear. II Is point,
II you will consider the amounts that
would have to be taken in at the gate
If such magnificent salaries were really
to be paid, that does not need any con-
siderable calculation.
Still, admitting that the main fault
perhaps lies with the newspapers,
am wondering whether the performers
and promoters who so ardently sup
port such ballyhoo have ever consid-
cred the effect upon the ultimate con-
sumner.
Gentlemen who quite often have to
take serious thought as to where the
next ham sandwich Is coming from
may take delight in knowing that
their athletic idols are receiving sums

on royalty-might ransom a dozen
kings. Then again they might start
thinking about who pays this money

4 HATE TO REPORT
EVERYTHING I DO
SAYS YOUNG GIRL

IF there's one thing | hate it's
censorship" said Il young girl COM
plaining of parental discipline. Il
hate to rehash everything l have
done and discuss everything am
going to do. If she couldn't trust
me. | could understand this con-
slant follow-up system to which my
mother subjects me. But | know
that she knows | can take care OF
myself, that she trusts me absolute
ly. And yet she wants to censor
everything | do"
A woman writer of note comments
upon this:
What this girl did not understand,
of course, is something that will i'm.
mediately come to mind to any moth
er, something that she will under
stand when she has children of her
own. And what she calls censor
ship on the part of her mother is
merely interest. a mother may have
the most complete confidence in her
childs ability to handle perfectly
any situation in which he or she
may find himself-and yet find over
towering the temptation to know
what they are doing all the time.
Fathers are less annoying in that
way because they are preoccupied
with affairs of their own. But so
many mothers still lead contingent
lives in the lives of their children
that it is like second nature" to
them to expect an outpOuring of ev-
cry detail in those lives, without
realizing that this places upon the
children an unwelcOme burden.
Everybody hates censorship. De-
linquents on parole sometimes
break" probation for no reason
except the dislike of reporting"
Even when we know there is moth
ing of distruSt in the demand to re-
port, we hate it. That is something
to think about not only for mothers,
but for all women whose interests
are circumscribed by the activities
of those they love, who lead, as it
were, the vicarious existence. 1t is
a good thought for wives. Perhaps
even more than children, husbands
hate to be censored, hate to have
to report!"

Happiest Age to Marry Is
SO for Man, 81 for Bride

Contrary to a common idea, early
marriages are allegedly not the hap
piest, at least for the American pop
ulations. A new chart showing the
ages at which men and women should
marry if they are to have the great
est chance of happiness has been
prepared by DR.. Hornell Hart, pro
fassor of social ethics at the Hart
ford Theological seminary. Accord
ing to this chart the ages at which
the chance of marital happiness is
mathematically greatest are thirty
three for the man and twenty-seven
for the bride.
However, the chart shows range
of greatest chance of married happi-
ness corresponding to groom's ages
between twenty-nine ano thirty-seven
and the brides ages between twenty
three and thirty-one. = Pathfinder
