The Market in Cauls }Vo believe that there is still some market for cauls among sailors, who retain thoir belief in the efficacy of tine membranes as a protection against shipwreck and drowning. Notices of "Cauls For Sale Within" were to bo seen recently in windows in the vicin ity of the docks of both London and Liverpool, but .i't is some time since we have noticed an advertisement of a caul for sale in the daily press. It may be remarked that the sale of cauls, so far from being a very aucient custom, is a comparatively modern innovation. The witchcraft of the middle ages de clared against the caul retaining any virtue whatever if parted with by gift or sale to any but a member of fcbe child's kindredi—London Lancet. NEWS OF THE SPO BASEBALL WAR COSIS THE CLUBS A SNUG FORTUNE Minors Hit the Hardest, Says a Chicago Dopester—Five Leagues Show Loss of $1,250,000 Last Year Is Esti mate A Chicago dopester haß estimated that the total losses of five leagues the past year have been close to $1,250,- 000. He figures that some clubs in tiie National and American leagues made money, three iu the Federal had a substantial balance on the profit side, three in the American Association finished ahead, and t'ot one in the In ternational League but showed a IOSK. According to the writer's figuring, al though he does not give any authority on which to base his statements, the net gain in the American Ijeague shows $115,000 to the good. The net loss of the Inderal League was $176,000, wliile that of the American Association was $90,000 and of the International dose to $150,000. Three clubs alone in the International lost $106,000. The biggest loser in the American League was Cleveland, with SBO,OOO, and the biggest winner was Boston, with $75,000. In the National League, Pittsburgh makes the worst ex hibit, with a deficit of $30,000, while the Giants topped the heap with $120,000 ahead. Brooklyn was the financial tragedy in the Federal, with a loss of $60,000, while Chicago confesses to a gain of $20,000. In the International League, Baltimore lost $43,000, and it is as serted that Indianapolis, in the Amer ican Association, made an equally poor showing. The White Sox made $70,000 and the Cubs $50,000. The Cub 3 paid a dividend of only 6 per cent., accord ing to reports, on its capital stock of sl'oo,ooo, but the remainder was cred ited to the surplus account. It was the Boston Braves that saved the National League. Up to the time of the phenomenal spurt of the Stall ings men the Boston club was in the hole $70,000, but from that time on it compared favorably with the United States mint. New' York and Chicago especially profited, and so did every othef club. In the American League it was op posite. With the Athletics far in front, interest died out and the White !Sox and Boston Red Sox were the only ones who held their own at all. De troit did well with a profit of $30,000. The New York Yankees, with a cheap team, did not suffer as much as many believed, being only $20,000 to the bad at the finish. The Athletics finished near the bot tom of the financial leader. They were credited with a loss of $22,000 for t.he season, but the $40,000 received in the world series gave them a balance of SIB,OOO. It did not even figure this much when the 25 per cent, share of the American League is subtracted, but other items made up the amount. Washington and Bt. Louis had poor seasons, and the renewal contracts made it a loss, instead of a profit, which otherwise would have been the Fisher Gets Great Sura Middlebury, Vt., Fob. 1. —Ray Tj. Fisher, pitcher of the New York Amer icans, said yesterday that he had sisrned a three-year contract with that club. It is understood that his contract calls for a salary of $19,500 for the three years.

JPoe Chabek Is Modest One modest plnvo.r has been found in baseball A Brooklyn paper wrote each member of the Dodger team, asking for a bit of personal history, anil an opinion as to the prospects.

In fact. Chabek is so mod est that he used to pitch under an as sumed name to hide his identity.

I.—The first call for candidates for the Penn State baseball team has been iisued. All battery aspirant" were asked to re port. Twenty inen responded to the call. Among them were last year's three regular pitchers and two substi tutes and Captain Vogt, whe caught all of State's games last season. All of the pitchers should show much improvement, foi they all received much added experience pitching for various teams during the summer. Hesselbacher practiced during the early part of the season with the Athletics, and later, together with both Liebert and Wardwell, pitched for the Straw bridge & Clothier team. Of the new men, Moore and Lehr seem to be the most promising catchers, while Johnstone, who comes from the Lock Haven Normal School, is prob ably the best slabsman. WRESTLERS INFECTED Mass. Tech Will Not Meet Penn State To-night State College, Pa., Feb. 1. —Penn State's wrestling meet with Massa chusetts Tech. scheduled for to-day, has been canceled owing to an out break of skin affection among the New England grapplers. A dispatch from Boston advised the State's management that Tech's team was willing to fill the date, providing the local authorities were willing to risk the spread of the infection. It was stated that the outbreak wns of tnild form and had been contracted by the wrestlers working on the mat. Pennsylvania State's health authori ties, while regretting the postpone ment of a meet that would have brought together two teams undefeated for the last three years, decided to call off the contest. An effort will be made to arrange a satisfactory date between these teams later in the season KILBANE-WILLIAMS BOUT Men Still Apart on Weight and Purse Philadelphia, Feb. 1. —The bout be tween Johnny Kilbane and " Kid" Wil liams, scheduled for February 24 al the National A. C., this city, is by no means a certainty and may not take place. Kilbane now demands that the weight he 122 pounds at 6 o'clock on the evening of the tight, in place of ringside, as at first agreed. This change in the hour for weighing in Williams will not agree to, and, as Kilbane says he will not finht at ring side weight for less than $5,000, it is possible the bout, may fail through. Further complications are made by an offer of a $7,000 purse from the Olympia management, whereas $6,500, or 70 per cent, of the gate, was the limit the National A. C. would give the men, they to divide evenly, Wil liams has agreed to accept the larger offer, holding that Kilbane's backdown on the weight question gives him the right to take the best offer that comes along. FRENCH BOXERS AT FRONT Ludo Killed, Hogan Wounded and Car pentier Safe A dispatch from Paris confirms the previous report that Max Ludo, the well-known French heavyweight, and at one time the trainer of Georges Car pentier, has been killed in action. Adrien Hogan\ tho French middle weight, who so badly defeated Pat O'Keefe, the Knglish champion at that weight, as well as the hard-hitting 'Private Braddock, also was reported killed, but, happily, the soldier-boxer was only wounded, and has now recov ered sufficiently to take another, turn iu the trenches, Jean Posey, one time featherweight champion of France, has been recom mended for the gold medal, which is given only for acts of great bravery, and also has been promoted on the field to the rank of sergeant. Although he has been on the firing line since the be ginning of the war. he has so far es caped without a scratch. Georges Cnrpentier, the champion of Europe, is reported well, and so far has survived the many thrilling ail ventures of a dispatch rider for the French army.
