CHICAGO BUSINESS TRAINING
SCHOOL.
In another part of this issue will
bt. found an advertisement of th
Chicago Business Training School, an
institution which is giving by mail
a splendid business course in book
keeping and kindred branches. Ev
ery workingman realizes the import
ance of improving his own earnnlg
powers, as well as fitting his children
for responsible positions, but only
few are situated so as to be able to
defray the heavy expense of attend
ing college at a distance. This in
stitution opens the way whereby
everyone can secure . the requisite
training at a nominal cost, and with
out leaving home, which is a mat
ter of too much importance to be
overlooked.
The American Labor Press associa
tion, after making a thorough inves-
everyone to communicate with this
school and see what It has to offer.
It is thoroughly reliable, and the at
titude of Its management towards
l'ibor has been such as to entitle it
to the support of all union people.

Inquire of
E. B. SLOSSON, Gen. Agent
J. Roe Says National Pastime Was
More Exciting Then Than It
Is To-Day. -
"In my time we used to line 'em
out," E. J. Roe cl Kansas City, a ball
player in the days of Capt. Adrian C.
Anson, A. G. Spalding, George Wright
and Charles Comiskey, said the other
day in speaking of old and modern
baseball. " .
"Hit and run plays, squeeze plays,
sacrifice hitting and bunting were un
known," he continued. "Every man
went to the plate and the only idea he
had in his head was to lose the ball.
The infielders made few errors in
those days, because they did not have
many chances. The outfielders .were
the players that were kept busy. I
used to play first base for the old Can
ton, 111., Reds. They were considered
the second best team in the state at
that time. Anson and Spalding played
on the Rockf ord -team, which was con
sidered the best in the state. I played
many games in the summer of 1879
against them. Charley Comiskey was
Just breaking into the game at that
time and was a pitcher for the Du
buque team. Pitchers in those days
did not throw curve balls and there
was no such thing as overhand pitch
ing. The pitcher threw the ball with
an underhand motion. They never
tried to give, a man a base on balls, but
wanted him to hit it.
"The salaries in those days were
jokes compared with what ball players
receive at present. There was no reg
ular salary for playing on the home
team. It was an honor that evej-y
young man coveted. The rivalry
among the small towns to possess a
winning ball team was intense. ' This
rivalry was the only opportunity a ball
player had to make money. Some club
that waa anxious to win a game would
send to a town where there was a
good team and hire from one to three
players. These men each received five
dollars a day and their expenses for
going to this town. That was consid
ered good money, and sometimes an
extra fine player made as much as sz&
or $30 per month. With no more
money than that in sight, and that
only for two or three months a year,
baseball looked like a poor way to
earn a living, and I did not stay In the
game very long. I played a few years
after leavlnr schoo at the time I was
17 or 18 years old, then gava it up for
something steady.
"I still enjoy the game and go when
I have an opportunity,, but I fail to see
where the present day game has any-
thine on the name we used to play. In
fact, I believe there was more excite
ment in our games than there is-now
No man went to bat in the old , days
and struck out attempting to bunt a
ball. The scientific batter in our day
was the man who could place his hits.
The player who could place the hits
into a certain uncovered territory was
the only scientific batsman. The rest
of them hit the ball as hard as . they
could and trusted to luck. Another
thing we had in those days was the
club spirit.' The present ball players
seem Indifferent. So long as the sal
ary check -comes' regularly they do not
seem to care whether they win or not.

For the first time since the great
American game of baseball became a
reality the stars of the diamond will
invade the orient next winter under
the guidance of Jesse Woods, the well
known Honolulu sporting man, and
Mike Fisher. ' the manager who
chaperoned so many ball nines in vari
ous cities of the Pacific coast during
the last eight years. If the trip proves
a success and all indications point
that way it will undoubtedly 1 result
in. one of the greatest triumphs that
the pet pastime of Uncle Sam has ever
known, and the game has managed to
achieve new wonders every year since
its birth half a century ago.
Encouraged by the success of last
season s invasion of Honolulu with a
nine made up almost wholly of Pacific
coast league players, Woods and Fish
er decided at its conclusion to under
take the trip far across the broad Pa
cific. Carefully they laid their plans
and so eagerly were they received by
all who heard of them that the mag
nates went at their work with a zest
until now they are being boomed
throughout the orient.
Little by little the famed tossers of
the National and American leagues
heard of the wonderful pilgrimage
planned by Woods and Fisher. Appli
cations for places on the tourist team
came pouring in daily, and now the
men engineering the deal can have
their pick of the nation's stars.
Woods has sailed for the orient on
the steamer Mongolia for the purpose
of making the final arrangements and
booking the team at the larger cities
of Japan, China, Philippines and the
Hawaiian islands. His trip will cover
a period of three months, and upon
his return on October 1, Fisher will
have perfected the arrangements at
this end of the world, and the party
will be ready to invade the far east.
The team will sail direct to Yoko
hama, where it plays a series of games
with the leading Japanese nines of the
big city. From there it visits Tokyo,
Kobe and Nagasaki. Finishing Us tour
of Japan, the team goes next to the
Philippines and then through China.;
On its way home, the stars will stop
over at Honolulu,, where the natives
will again be waiting to greet them as
they were last year.
Jack Bliss, of the St Louis Nation
als, Claude Berry of the Seals, and
Pat Donahue of the Boston Ameri
cans, likely will be the catchers. In
the box will be Orvie Overall of the
world's champion Chicago Cubs, and
"Big Bill" Burns of the Washingtons.
On first, Frank Chance, Hal Chase,
"Jiggs" Donahue and Joe Nealon will
shine, alternating in the outfield. ;
Joe Delehanty of Washington, seems,
assured of the second place position,-,
while Bill Devereaux-will do the hon-j
ors at third. Ty Cobb, the champion,
hitter of the Detroit Tigers, and-'
George Hildebrand, the popular Seal!
left fielder, will complete the team ;
as strong an aggregation as eveij
toured any foreign country.

Cannot Slide Well.
"If Harry Niles could slide well,'
said Lajoie, "he'd be the most' danger
ous base runner in the big league. His
natural speed and ability to get
quick start severely handicap a catch
er; but somehow or other he seems to
stop the moment he hits the turf. Oft
en he misjudges the distance , and
dives too soon, stopping before - he
reaches the sack. It's a fault that can
be easily corrected. When Niles does
correct It, no one will lead him at base
stealing." !'
