INVESTIGATE BASEBALL TRUST.'
Representative Gallagher, of Illin
ois, has struck a seasonable, possibly
a popular, idea in his resolution de
manding that congress forthwith pro
ceed to probe the "baseball trust."
which he denounces in the most un
measured terms. '
The players have already gone in
to their training camps; within a few
weeks the season will open. At the
present moment millions of readers
are feverishly scanning the sporting
pages, reading up all of the "dope"
on the new players that have been
signed and discussing with each oth
er and even with their uninterested
friends the pennant possibilities, not
only of their own town club, but of
tile leading clubs in the big leases.
Nothing connected with baseball is
without a large interest to thousands,
yes. millions of readers.
The average American pays but a
languid and perfunctory attention to
the work of the Lorimer investigating
committee, which has been going on
for months. Indeed, it has lost a
place in the news columns and is
rarely referred to. Xone of the oth
er many investigations upon whith
congress has embarked in the hunt
for campaign material has attracted
much notice and none of the pro
ceedings had before the committees
appear longer in the news columns
of the daily press, because the public
has no interest in them.
But, if congress will get to prob-l
ing the baseball trjst, then there
will be a front-page story every day.
If Gallagher . the introducer of the
resolution, should get, as he is prop
erly entitled to have, the position of
chairman of the select committee and
himself personally conduct the inqui:jj
his name, will become famous all over
the country, while heretofore it has
been scarcely known outside of the
stock yards district of Chicago.
Start the probe going; bring Gal
lagher to the front, and let the coun
try get all the inside dope on base
ball, as early as possible. Go to it.
We can't have too much of it. ?
Cleveland Leader.

In addition to a large quantity of

The party will then work south to

The Story of a Profile.
On the faeaile of the Palazzo Vec- I
chio. at Florence, to the rieht of the |
central entrance, the proflle of a man s |
head is traced ou the marble, tbe an
thorship of which is ascribed to I
Michelangelo. Tbe story runs that ,
he and a friend made a bet as to j
which of them would draw a head j
best with their backs to the wall, a
bet easily won by Michelangelo, for
he traced a perfect profile, whereas
the other produced only a wavering. ,
imperfect outline. The story further ^
relates that the tool used was a nail

How many know that the only fault
ever found with the splendid eques
trian statue of Washington in the Bos
