Well, here he is again, Frank Baker, the champion world's series home run swatsmith. It's a common remark heard on the

streets or where an assembly of ball fans are gathered: "Wait until Baker comes up with a man on base, then see where the crack Boston twirlers get off." Of course he may not deliver against

them like he has the Giant staff strong emphasis on the "might."

twirlers should get his goat, think of those sweet picklers that follow him. How'd you like to be in their place, with the game a tie,

Mr. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, was then introduced by Mr. Byers. Mr. Jordan said: "I es teem it an honor to present the win ning team with the trophies. Looking squarely at the men who so valiantly played the game, leaves no doubt in my mind why they won. They are all about the right size, with the determined look on their faces of 'I will.' " Mr. Jordan believes that better fellowship should arise out of an undertaking like the S. A. L. To Boost Muncie Team. The following were given the trophies, which were gold watch fobs with the word champions emblazoned on the face: E. y. Curleton, J. E. Ulrlck, Karl Allison, Donald Clarek, Roy Moore, John Taggart, Ralph Nicodemus, Lewis Quigley, Elmer Johnson, Chester Clements, Maurice Black, Guy Davis, Clarence Butler and Ray Lair.. Mr. Ulrick on behalf of the Seeders made the acceptance, thanking the league as a whole, and the Natcos for making it possible for the Seeders to win out over Easthaven. Byers and Shaw were then presented with fobs as a surprise, and it was a complete one at that, as neither had much to say. In fact Mace said "Boys, you've got my goat; it's awfully warm in here " and so and so one. Never mind, Mace, the next time you can have your speech prepared. A letter was read from Mr. Harris, manager of the Palladium, promising to boost the S. A. L. next year. Four individual prizes were then presented. Chester Clements was awarded a bat case for being the most consistent hitter, with a fine average of .488 in ten games.

FOR A LONG TERM Walter E. Maranville, the sensation al shortstop of the Boston Braves, who is expected to play a big part in the coming world's series. The series isn't the only thing on Maranville's mind at the present however. It has just been announced that when the series is over he is to marry Miss Elizabeth R. Shea of Springfield, Mass. His marriage will celebrate the wining of the world's pennant by the Braves, he thinks. prize. Al Mayer, pitching for the Natcos, was given the prize for allowing the fewest earned runs per game. Plan 1915 Season. A general review of the season was then given and plans for enlarging next year were announced. The idea is to get about eight cities in the state to form amateur leagues, ending their season not later than Labor day, then pitting the winners in the respective cities against each other of the series to go to the Amateur Baseball association. Charles Lockwood said: "I am glad to be among this baseball crowd tonight, as it is truly an American game, and I am an American. I believe in amateur baseball in the spirit in which it is played. Muncie will co-operate in the proposed Indiana baseball tournament next summer." "As a representative group you look about the best one could find for any game," said President Bishop of the Muncie league. "In my experience with city leagues I've found out just one thing: don't load up at the end of the season with money players; they are a detriment to a city league." Comments on Spirit. "All the Muncie players who were here this summer were impressed with the fine spirit shown by all of you, and send their best regards to all, and more success next year," added Pitcher Stillwagon. We don't want to forget the Y. M. C. A. double quartet. They were certainly in form. The Weisbrod Saxaphone orchestra kept up its end of the evening's festivities. Harry Patti, president of Richmond Baseball association, said: "On behalf of the association we are honored to be invited to this the first annual banquet of the S. A. L., and anything we can do for you we will do cheerfully. Remember, whenever the grounds are not in use by us, you are welcome to them. Earl Thomas read a bit of "Afterthoughts" by Lawrence Handley, who was unable to be present. This was one of the features of the evening. Mr. Cureton, superintendent of the A. S. M., said: "We started out to win, and we had a hard fight, but by everlastingly plugging away we finally won out." It was announced that Joe Hill, who was expected to be present at the banquet was unable to make it, and had sent the flowers used to decorate the table as a token of encouragement. "They used to say that every boy had a chance to be president, but now it is every boy has a chance to be in the world's series. I'm for this amateur lnter-city league, and anything I can do to help make it a success I will most cheerfully do," said Will Roller. Learner to Help. "I congratulate the winners of the S. A. L. championship. I was to give a talk on the Y. M. C. A., but by looking Into you faces I know that you know the meaning of the Y. M C. A. without me telling you," said Secretary Learner. A fact that I want to ' imjtfttBfl on zour minds is that the

Every keen visioned man can see it. The armies of Europe fighting for military power have combined to make America the world's great commercial power. During the fiscal year ending, June 30th, 1914, the United States imported $1,892,000,000 worth of goods. A pretty good item for our own manufacturers to supply this year. In addition, our mills must double their exports to make up for the goods Europe cannot supply. The figures are dazzling the profitaf stupendous.
