It is a well known fact that all the! clnfos in the Tri-Stu.to League lost i money last season, and the owners! present at the conference admitted that they had to face»a deficit at the expira! tion of the playing year. However, they are reluctant to let go their hold-J' ings and surrender the franchises for' % which thev were compelled to give their! money.

KLUGH, the weU-kiom aptclaJUt 1 | club owners that they should take warn j ing t'rom last year's experience and i hesitate about laying out more capital I on the gamble of a successful season in 1915. . The club owners are inclined to take an optimistic view of the situation. They believe that when business men of the towns in the circuit realize that it | is near dissolution thev will lend finan cial aid that will enable the clubs to continue for at least another year. Mr. Graham was able to offer but | little encouragement in his annual re | port. He said there was no ibasis for the belief that the organization would | make money this season, tout that he ; was perfectly willing to join the club | owners in any step they might decide ! to take. Mr. Graham called attention to the j fact that the only clubs in the league i last year who bore their awn financial | burdens were the Harristburg, Trenton, I Allentown and Reading clubs. The Wil : mington and Lancaster franchisee were j surrendered'by their owners and the ! league assumed the responsibilities of paying the players. Therefore, he point ! Ed out, there would be only four cluba in the organizajtion this year should' it | 'be determined to continue. The owners who attended the parley, lat which Mr. Graham held the chair, i were Max S.

It was arranged that the local controllers of the open ampitheatre were to pay |24,000 to the Army and Navy Keliet Fund for the privilege of staging the game. Tickets control formed an argument for spirited debate and it was finally agreed that 25,000 seats would be set aside for the private use of Army and Navy officials, their friends and the students at each institution. This block of seats will be divided equally be tween the soldiers and sailors. Also it was agreed that Army and Navy of ficials would be given first opportunity to purchase seats from the remainder. As the local men figure that 45,000 seats will be obtainable on the day of the game, this will leave 20,000 seats for general sale. John B. Foster, secretary to the local company, said that two years ago the Army-Navy struggle attracted 40,000 persons to the Polo Grounds. He stated j that new arrangements have been per- I fected whereby 4,000 extra seats can ! be put iu. With 2'0,000 seats for the i public, it is expected that every one who cares to see the game can be ac commodated.

REFORMING A SAVAGE After the Treatment He Became Quite a Gentlemanly Chap In ''Among the Primitive Bakongo" : John H. Weeks tells the story of a chief Mampuya of Kinkuzu, who , called on him at Wathen station to re- I H uest that a teacher be sent to his | town. "He seemed a very quiet, gen tlemanly sort of man," savs Mr. j Weeks, "and I was very much sur , prised to hear that he had not always ! been so deferential and modest. "Mampuya at one time treated the people of his town in a very con temptuous fashion and was always ex ! torting, on one plea or another, fowls, goats and other goods from them. At last they could bear his extor . tions no longer, and so thev bound him securely, put Him on a shelf in his i own house, built a fire under him and sprinkled a quantity of red pepper on | it. Then they went out and shut the door closely behind them. The pungent smoke filled the hut, and Mampuva sneezed tremendously. He would have died if there had been a little more pepper on the fire. '•At last thy took him out of the smoke and tied a stick across his chest to his extended arms with the intention of punishing him still further, but thev let him off on payment of a fine and many promises of better behavior, which promises he has scrupplously kept.'' Winning a Violin The way M. Ysaye, the great violin ist, became the owner of a Guarnerius violin dated 1742 was tlhua quaintly told by himself: "The Guarnerius was bought in Paris bv a pupil of mine, a charming young woman. 1 envied her the violin, and fate gave it to me. I teach tlhis pupil, and by and by I meet her sister, a most lovely young woman, with whom I fall in love straightway and marry. Soon I go to my who was my pupil, and say to her: " 'lt is time you stop fooling with a violin. You will never leiarn how to play it.' I take the liberty of a big brother, but she do not like it foir long time. At last She suecum'b to my ex perience and wisdom, and she stops playing. Then I say grandiloquently: " ' I will take the Guarnerius, 1742.' 1 take it, and that is how the violin came into the possession of Ysaye."
