Americana paid JT'.OOO.OOO to see their favorite pame played in the professional baseball parks last year. How much more they spent in outflttinK and supporting semi-professional. eolleKe and amateur nixies-cannot be estimated. How many afternoons fie aons of Uncle Sam "knocked off" to take In a game ' rould not be calculated without endanger i ins: an ordinary man's arithmetic, f Professional ball players in the two ' major leagues were paid $600,000 in salaries last year, while the 31 minor leagues expended about J2.000.000 in salaries. More than 6.000,000 people witnessed the game of the major leagues and the total attendance on all kinds of hall games In one season is roughly estimated at 40.000.000 or half the popula ' tlon of the country, if they should have turned out one day. Evolution of the Game. Baseball is the one great American Mine. It had its origin and Its develop ment In the United States, and it has gone through the same series of ups and downs which has characterized the prog ress of the great American industries of todav. Baseball was first a purely ama teur came played for the diversion of the players. Spectators were attracted and there was a co-operative organization. The consolidation idea went on. as in all Amorican businesses, and uniform rules came into being. Then came a "trust." After the trust camo the "strike" ff the players. Then, there were lock outs" against outlawed players. Then the whole business was put into a merger, which is a consolidation of mists, and now five men control the ?ntire professional baseball world, if these things are not enough to give base hall a title to a purely American history, then let it be remembered that Thomas W. Lawson, author of "Frenzied Finance," has written a book about baseball and the question will be settled. Mr. I.awson's book was entitled "Kranks" and was published in Boston IS years ago. It was bound in horsehlde of 'the kind that .wraps the "twirled sphere" and was printed on the finest of parchment paper. Mr. Tawson begins with a definition of the word "krank." a work for which he may be more or less fitted. He says: "The krank is a heterogeneous com pound of flesh, bone and baseball, mostly baseball. He came into existence in the early "70s. He came to stay. The krank is purely American. He is found in no other country. The krank has a shell into " which he crawls in the month of Novern her. He does not emerge from it until April. While in his shell. his only article of food is stray newspaper articles on 'deals." During the season from April to November he subsists on air, and waxes strong.,. His first characteristic Is 'knowing It all'; the second, 'telling it all.' " Times has changed the "krank" to a,f 'Tan," but It is a change In name only. -First Big Salaried Pitchers. . In the year 1RS8, when that little book appeared, baseball ' had reached for "the first time its present status as the isorblng sport, diversion and study of the American's Summer mind. In that year Boston paid Chicago 110.000 for the release of John O. Clarkson, the star pitcher of the time, and the days of "millionaire" ball had dawned. To what dlzey heights salaries of ball-players might nave soared, had it not been for the combinations which prevent contract jumping, can hardly be guessed at. The game of baseball was evolved some time in the early 40'a of the last century Trom the old games of "rounders" and "town-ball." A regular code of rules was published in New York as early as 1S45. The first newspaper report of a game of baseball appeared In the New York Sun day Mercury in July, 18S.1: "The Gotham and Knickerbocker clubs played a matched game on the grounds of the latter at Hoboken on the Bth inst. The Knickerbockers won. Gotham. 1 outs, 12 runs; Knickerbockers, 18 outs, 21 runs 21 runs constituting a game." Contrast this with the pages devoted to ( .the post-season championship games last j year. . f Becomes Professional Game. Just after the Civil War the game be V pan to be played for the amusement of . spectators quite as much as for the di- version of the players. In 1867 the 'Wash- ington Nationals, a team made up of t cle.rks in the departments at the capital, ' and of which Arthur P. Gorman, after l wards Senator from Maryland, was- one of the promoters, made the first 1 crand tour of the country to play ball. ' 1 The trip cost $3000 and there were no sate receipts, for baseball was still as ' free as air. The team won nine of the 10 games played, being beaten In Chicago by the Forest City tea-rri of Rockford. 111., for which A. G. Spalding was pitcher. 5 Then came the organization of the fin s' cinnati Red Stockings, the first profes- Fional team, which soon forced recogni- lion from the organization of amateur players. Once professional baseball was born, it soon pushed all other vari eties into the background, and assumed the place at the head of American sports which it probably will hold always. The history of the early organizations and of the many tribulations which beset the ;;ime before the present National Asso ciation of Baseball Leagues came Into existence would require volumes. Organized as Trust. The leagues of leagues which came into existence with the beginning- of- the 20th century now controls practically all of the professional baseball of the' country. It has 31 leagues under Its management and works In harmony with the two major leagues, the National and the American. No player may go from club to club without permission of this central organ ization, which last year recorded 4400 plavers' contracts. Men are drafted from small leagues to larger ones.i or-s-s-signed from place to place, at the will of the central body. Thus has baseball reached the apex of the Inventive genius of the American business man. the cen trally controlled combination of combina tions. In which the "little .fellow" no more dares to talk back than does the cog on the wheel attempt' to "argify" with the steam engine. In every city of any size there are local leagues, modeled after the profes sional organizations, made up of from four to eight clubs . from various busi ness houses or offices or churchesv These amateur championship races are exciting in the extreme to local lovers of the AMERICAN GAM game. The boys play from the time they are 7 years old and the boys' base ball games are not always to be de spised. Many enterprising newspapers publish long lists of results of games and "challenges" for other games each day. Pitcher Becomes King. The storv of the game itself is just as varied. In 1876. the year the United States celebrated the National centen nial, Arthur Cummings. of the Old Star nine of Brooklyn pitched a curved ball. There ended the big scores, there end ed the reign of the batsman, there ended the excitement of the running feature, which came down from the rounders which was the grandfather of baseball. The pitcher became the king-pin of the organization and things were left to de pend upon him. Then the catcher was made to take advantage of his position to organize a signal service, and he be came, the chief factor in the field of generalship. From that signal service developed the intricate system - of base bnll strategy of today. Baseball is a good thing for boys of all ages, -and sometimes for girls, too, for it gives outdoor exercise and outdoor air to player and spectator. The Duke of Wellington boasted that the victory of Waterloo was won on the cricket fields of England, thus declaring his faith in the exercise. The Duke of "Wellington, nor any other soldier in history, has profited more by the science of strategy than , has the player-manager of the American baseball team of today. The baseball nine is no longer made up of nine individuals upon whose several de grees of skill and enthusiasm the result of the-play depends. It is a consummate machine, compact and obedient to a field marshal's will. Baseball to the player is no longer a sport or recreation, it s a highly-paid occupation In life, a science In execution and an art in conception. Spectator an Expert Critic. The spectator has changed also. He is not the erstwhile loyal partisan of the home club whose patriotism was too lofty to admit defeat. The man in the grand stand and the. boy at the knot hole today are students and critics. Quick to bestow praise when the player of the home team does what is expected, he is even quicker to censure if that player is a whit less than mathematically exact in fulfilling the measure required of him. Whether all of these changes are for i. - v-.-. nt t-Vic T ). r there is a mix ture of good or bad. and whether they will progress with time these are prob lems for each Individual "fan." Henry Chadwlck. the octogenarian "Father of Baseball." declared at the beginning of this year, as he has at the beginning of every year for four decades, that the game is better now than it ever has been and will be better further on. Baseball enthusiasm was never higher in the country than during the six days post-season championship contest be tween the two Chicago pennant-winning clubs last Fall. The gate receipts were more than JK6.0O9 and the attendance was 100.000. Not only was Chicago base ball mad with its two champion teams contesting for world honors, but the whole country took an interest in the for tunes of the Cubs and the White Sox such as had never before been mani fested. The pennant races are now well on in the many leagues and there is no doubt but that the records this year will eclipse the records of all the years that have gone before. Tomorrow Science of Dry Farming. Jl'XIOll DAY AT THE UNIVERS ITY OF OREGON'. Glaring Contrast to Old-Tinie Seenes of Class Hushes Co-Eds Serve Dainty Lunch to Toilers. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, May 17. (Special.) Junior day was appropriately celebrated at Oregon today. Early this morning a hundred students assembled on the campus, and. armed with shovels and tamping bars, they began the construction of 200 feet of cement walk leading west from Deady Hall. The work was rushed through under the direction of Dr. Leon ard and the engineering students. Every thing was carried out systematically, the work being divided among the different squads so that each worked in order and the cement walk flowed out under the ef forts of the ready students so that by noon the whole walk was completed. Meantime another crew laid a walk to the east side of Kincaid Field and the busy co-eds decorated Villard Hall for the junior orations. At noon the whole student Doay assem bled at the dormitory, where a magnifi cent dinner was served to the hungry toll ers. The tables of the reception rooms were piled high with cakes .and sand wiches, which vanished, rapidly before the devouring army. The whole crowd was as happy and animated as If on a picnic, and dainty co-eds moved in and out with trays of good things until 1 o'clock, when an adjournment was taken for the Pullman Oregon track meet. The exercises of the day were brought to a close bv the junior orations delivered in Villard Hall. MRS. SECHTEM SAYS FRAUD Brings Suit Against Former Admin istrator of Husband's Estate. A suit to recover property valued at between $50,000 and J60.000 was filed by Christina Sechtem, a widow, yes terday in the Circuit Court. She al leges that Max Smith, a Portland res taurant keeper, while administrator of. the estate of Louia Sechtem, defrauded her and her four children out of prop efty left her by her husband, who died November 28, 1894. Four hundred acres of land in Columbia County and a half block on Glisan street are men tioned in the complaint. The complaint asks that the deeds given following- the administrator's sale be set aside and declared void; that the court decree that the property belongs to the widow and her children, and that an accounting of the rents and profits earned by the property be or dered, and the money due paid over to the rightful heirs. In regard to the suit Mr. Smith said last night that when he was appointed administrator of the estate, the prop erty was loaded down with debts and the whole estate was appraised lor less than the indebtedness. Dunns' the hard times the land was sold to pay the debts. Smith says that Henry Wagner, a well-known lawyer, was at torney for the estate, and that nothing; was done without the lawyers ap proval.. State's Demurrer Sustained. Attorney-General A. M. Crawford yes terday filed a demurrer in the Federal Court to the complaint in the case of A. H. Burns against the State of Oregon, in which Burns asks pay , for horses and supplies furnished -in the Indian Wars of 1S56 and 1856. The demurrer is on the ground that the court has no Jurisdiction. The claim is for $3000. Judge Wolverton sustained the demurrer, and Burns was allowed 15 days to fllo an amended com plaint. Burns brought the suit for relatives in Scotland, who. he says, gave him power of attorney to prosecute the suit. GRASPING ATSTMW Reactionists May Aim at Taft's Election. MEANING OF BOSSES' MOVE Cox and re arose Climb Into Band wagon in Hope to Kill the Third Term Movement and Then. Get Milder Treatment. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 12. These are days of strange happenings politically. "Boss" Cox, or Ohio, heretofore a foremost opponent of Secretary Taft, comes out with, an an nouncement that he favors the nomina tion of the War Secretary as the Repub lican candidate for President in 1908. He literally surrenders before the fight be tween the Taft and the Foraker forces had really opened. "Boss" Penrose, of Pennsj'lvania, a machine politician through and through, comes out with a declaration of most profound friendship for Mr. Roosevelt and favors the renomi nation of the President.' What does it all mean? Why should Mr. Cox surrender before there had been a test of strength between the Foraker faction, which he was leading, and the Taft faction, which he was opposing? He says it is to preserve harmony in the party, but Mr. Cox has never before been anxious for party harmony. In past cam paigns he has suffered the party to divide Into factions and has seen it go down to defeat, knowing all the time that, if he would surrender to the other faction the united party could carry the state. Here tofore Mr. Cox was willing to risk his leadership rather than bow down to what is now known as the Taft faction. Then why this change of heart? Penrose Tries to Save Hide. At the time Mr. Penrose came out in a declaration in favor of giving Mr. Roose velt another term, the Republicans of Pennsylvania looked around to discover his reason for changing front. They fig ured out that Mr. Penrose had discovered the tremendous popularity of the Presi dent in Pennsylvania, and feared that, unless he showed signs of friendliness with the National administration, the next Pennsylvania Legislature might send to the Senate some man in sym pathy with Roosevelt policies. Mr. Penrose, educated under Quay, is too old a dog to learn new tricks; he Is not sincere in his avowal of friendship for the President and he is not fooling the general public. It is generally con ceded that he is merely trying to save his own hide. The same suspicion is cast upon Mr, Cox in Ohio. There is no apparent reason why he should desert Senator Foraker and declare for Secretary Taft. His past tactics do not bear out his expressed de sire to preserve harmony in the Repub lican party of his state. Why, then, did he declare lor Mr. Taft and thereby kill the Foraker Presidential boom? Corporations Choose Less Evil. Some are inclined to accept Mr. Cox at his word. But these are In the minority. Others believe that after conference with Mr. Foraker and the interests he repre sents. Mr. Cox has declared in favor of Mr. Taft in the sole hope of checking the talk of Mr. Roosevelt for a second elective term. Much as the corporations dislike Mr. Taft, they have not the same fear of him that they have of Mr. Roose velt. If Mr. Roosevelt is re-elected, the railroads and Wall street know exactly what to expect. If Mr. Taft is elected, they may be treated more, leniently. True, they would not have the same free rein that they would have if their friend Mr, Foraker was sent to the White House, but they would run less risk of rough handling than if Mr. Roosvelt should be granted an extension of four years. The reactionaries, if they could control the convention of 1908 and thought he could win. would nominate Mr. Fair banks. Their second choice would be Mr. Foraker. Mr. Fairbanks Is first choice because he is more pliable of the two and probably the more popular. Mr. Foraker is in general sympathy witn tnis element, but he has ideas of his own and is seldom tractable. He is more apt to carry out his own views. In case of a conflict of opin ions, not even Wall street or the railway magnates would be able to whip him into line. That is their sole objection to him. Hope to Soften Taft'a Heart. Eliminating Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Taft Is probably the strongest runner now en tered on the Republican lists. And. bar ring Mr. Roosevelt, he is more apt to be nominated than any other man. Can it be that the "interests," alarmed at the growth of Roosevelt sentiment, have grasped at a desperate chance, and ae cided to concentrate their efforts to bring about Mr. Taft's nomination, trusting to the future to soften Mr. Taft's heart, par ticularly if they give him material finan cial support, both before the convention and before the country? Mr. Taft might not be unmindful of favors such as these. If the money power could force his nomi nation and force his election, would he turn about and ignore it after he became President? An authentic answer to these questions would do much to clear up the Ohio mystery. There are indications that the inter ests" are finding themselves up against it. Thev are not in a position to nominate a man of their choice; they are afraid of the foremost candidate among tne .Demo crats, and the only thing left Is to turn to a Republican who is popular, and trust to luck that he will be less harsh than Mr. Roosevelt has been. Such a man would at least be safe, and that is more than they would expect of Mr. Bryan. RESPECTS VESTED RIGHTS Ballingcr Modifies Order Suspend' ing Alaska Coal Entries. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 17. Land Commissioner Bal linger today modified his previous order withdrawing coal land in Alaska from entry: -Under the modified order persdns or corporations who had within one year prior -to November 12, 1906, filed valid lo cations may proceed to make entry and obtain -patent, the same privilege being extended to assignees. The original or der of withdrawal interfered with many legitimate interests that had Initiated rights, though not entries. The modifica tion corrects that injustice. Land Districts In Alaska.
