Those who know Lajoie personally and those who know him only through his record as a ball player cannot be lieve that Birmingham's charges are founded on fact. For eighteen years Lajoie has been in big league baseball and during all those years he has been a credit and an honor to the game. For eighteen years not a breath of scandal has fluttered about his name. And now comes Birmingham, disgrunt led and angered because lie is the leader of a tail end team and attempts to blacken the name of a man who has done a hundred times more for baseball than he ever has done or ever will do, and wdiose memory will live and be cher ished for decades after Birmingham’s has been forgotten. A Fear? Does Birmingham wish to get rid of Lajoie because he fears that the vet eran second baseman may supplant him as manager? There are some who feel that this might be the underlying cause for Birmingham's charges against the veteran. Several months ago a report was current that such a change would take place. Birmingham is said to have a contract that still has two years to run, but managers are not always re tained for the full length of their con tract. None of those who know the great Frenchman intimately can believe for one moment that he would deliberately plot against any man. Lajoie stacks up us a man, clean and straight, and one who had given the best that is in him to his superiors for 10 years. Certain it seems that now, in the twilight of his wonderful career, he could not change his nature; and he would not sully his name by any quitting tactics. Lajoie has not been hitting them out this year. His batting has been woefully weak. But there has been nothing wrong with bis fielding, nothing wrong with his throwing. He still is. despite his 39 spindles in the world today, and it will therefore be seen that 65 per cent, or almost two-thirds of them, are In the countries at war. Of the 50,000,000 spindles outside of war territory 6,000,000 ahe in India and can only be operated on coarse fabrics, while 2,000,000 are in Japan and are now being operated day and night, or to the full limit of their ca pacity. It is therefore apparent that the 32,000,000 spindles in the United States must be depended upon by the world for much of the goods with which they are now being supplied by the 93,000,000 spindles in the war territory. Of course, cotton manufacturing will not be entirely suspended in the wvr territory, but there will at least be a partial suspension and business and financial conditions will be such that it will be difficult to market their products through the usual channels. The difficulty of securing a supply of cotton will also be a considerable factor In forcing curtailment in these countries. As it appears to us, cotton must de cline, because the war countries which now consume 6,900,000 bales of Amer ican cotton, will not be able to use anything like their normal amount. Cotton goods will be in great de mand because the $65,000,000 of im ported goods, part of which we can supply, will be removed from compe tition with our home mills and our FREE ADVICE TO SICK WOMEN Thousands Have Been Helped By Common Sense Suggestions.

If Birmingham ' bases his charges against Lajoie on the fact that die Isn’t hitting, it would seem that Lajoie is being treated unjustly. Lajoie has been in a slump and batting slumps come fre quently in the careers of even the most wonderful and most consistent sluggers. This isn't tile first batting slump that Lajoie has encountered. Back in 1907 and 190 S the best he could do was .299 and .259. The general verdict then was —“He’s through.” Lajoie upset the dope by coming back in 1909 with .321, with 354 in 1910, .305 in 1911, .368 in 1912, and .335 in 1913. This year Lajoie hasn't been able to bit them for better than about .223. His grand average covering all the other years of fhls career is .331—the best average ever compiled by anyone over such a lengthy stretch. It’s a wonder ful record and one o doubt that brought to Lajojie a feeling of pride. Tear Average Dcwn. An average of .223 for this season will tea Lajole's general average down some thing like 8 or 9 points. Bringing that down to around .342 it still remains a wonderful recod but not such a seem ingly unbeatable oe as .351. Does any one think that Lajoie deliberately would lay down in his hitting, knowing full well that such an act would rob him in the final years of his baseball career of the honov of retiring with a grand aver age better than ay batsman ever made before? Lajoie. during the ten years or so of his conection with the Cleveland club has made thousands of intimate friends there. He has made thousands of in timate friends along the circuit. And he has millions of admirers. Does anyone think that Lajoie would do anything that would cause him the loss of those friendships, lose for him the admiration that millions have. On the face of fthings it looks as if Birmingham’s charges, if correctly quot ed, are without foundation 32,000,000 spindles must supply goods to fill the vacancy caused by the mur tailment of 93,000,000 spindles in tho war countries. England alone exported over 7,000,- 000,000 yards of cloth during 1913, and a small portion of that trade turned • o our mills would mean an advance In price. BOY CUTS TEACHER.
