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

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.
Fisher has resigned his position as
physical director at Middlebury Col

years.
JPoe Chabek Is Modest
One modest plnvo.r has been found

each member of the Dodger team,
asking for a bit of personal history,

Pitcher .loe Chabek wrote bhn.t he did
not bcilieve the fans care.V to know
anything about him or bis opinions
until he had made good, and that it
would be time enough after he hail
made good. In fact. Chabek is so mod

BASEBALL AT STATE COLLEGE
Twenty Battery Candidates Report for
the Team
State College, Pa., Feb. 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.
