« Liner Classes.
SAN FRANCISCO. Calif.. Feb. 9.—
j W ith practically only three weeks be
lore them ere they will line up for
early practice, their candidates, the
J various managers of the Pacific Coast
| league baseball clubs are actively en
gaged in making the preliminary ar
rangements.
Practically all of these managers
will be more or less hard put to it to
find the new material necessary to
bolster up tlie holes in their lineups
made by the draft and volunteer serv
ice occasioned by the war. In some
cases frantic letters are going out to
managers of major league clubs ask
ing for aid.
Just what the prospects for each
club will be it still is too early to de
termine and it is not likely that much
prophesying will be done until a more
definite lineup of the men is had. A
s ire of names of good players in
H. ie. leagues have been mentioned as
probably obtainable for the Pacific
j Coast organizations, but until con-'
i( rac.ts are signed and the men appear
on the ground, nothing definite will
j be available.
Followers of the fortunes of the
I league appear to think that the Salt
Lake City team will start off with an
edge on its rivals in the matter of ma
terial, but this, like all other advance
criticism, is considered as of the hit
or miss variety.
Resumption of Football.
PALO ALTO. Calif.. Feb. 9.—The
question—“Will the University of Cal
ifornia and Standford university play
the American intercollegiate game of
football this fall?"—refuses to down
and the prospects are that the matter
will be discussed more or less right up
to the time that a decision is arrived
at.
A Stanford student publication is the
latest to bring the matter up and while
it is favorable for a resumption of the
“big game,” it also says that the mat
ter^* now entirely in tlffe hands of the
Calitornians. Stanford has made the
proposition of playing a game under
the American code if the Blue and
Gold will meet them half way by hold
ing an annual Rugby match. No offi
cial response has yet been made by
California.
Aviator Wins Swimming Event.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 9.—
Norman Ross, holder of a number of
American and world's swimming rec
ords, recently demonstrated the fact
that learning to fly does not impair
one’s natatorial prowess. Ross is pre
paring to become an aviator with
Uncle Sam’s army and, for some time,
has devoted his attention and energy
entirely to the matter of flying in
stead of swimming.
At a recent swimming meet held at
the Olympic club, Ross as captain of
an aviation swimming team, won six
events and scored 25 points for the’
flyers, out of the 31 by that team.
Incidentally Ross broke his own Amer
ican record for the 500 yard swim in
a special event.
More Stringent Rules.
MISSOULA, Mont., Feb. 9—New
rules of the Northwestern Intercol
legiate conference adopted at the an
nual conference meeting at Spokane in
December, have been approved by the
athletic committee of the University of
Montana, and they will become ef
fective here immediately.
The new rules provide more strin
gent scholarship rules for institutions
participating in conference athletics,
and grant permission for freshmen to
engage in intercolegiate athletics.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5—Rumors that
Gov. John K. Tener has resigned from
his office as president of the National
league may be treated for a year hence
»s absolute piffle. And that’s straight
from Gov. Tener himself.
In accepting a renewel of his posi
tion at the head of the elder major
league the former Pennsylvania execu
tive made it plain to the club owners
that his time would be only partly
devoted to the business of the league.
Most of his time, he told them, would
have to be given over to a new busi
ness, of which he had just become the
head.
It has, however, become the self
named duty of certain persons, ac
cording to persons close to Gov. Ten
er, to circulate tales that Tener is pre
paring to resign. Tener declared he
didn’t like to dignify the stories by
denying them, but had to make some
sort of a statement recently while in
Cincinnati.
President Baker of the Philadelphia
club, who has been one of the most'
staunch of Gov. Tener's supporters, |
declared recently that he as well as!
a majority of the club owners are en-l
tirely satisfied with the arrangement
that gives them part of their chief's
time. They realize the fact, he de
clared, that Tener is really the big
man in baseball and to give him up
would be worse than a calamity just
now.
It may be that Art Wilson will turn
out to be a find for George Stallings.
The Braves have been handicapped
for a long time by a gang of catchers
who were just simply catchers. In
Wilson Stallings will be acquiring a
man who can think as well as hold his
hands up. Stallings also has some
youthful receivers who look the partj
of comers. With Wilson's coaching
that part of the Braves' machine may
look decidedly better next season.
Wilson once was considered serious
ly as a manager for one of the big
league clubs, and by a man who would
not be likely to pick a flivver for the
work.
Wilson's hitting last year was not
what it once war, but he is youngj
healthy and takes good care of him
self. He-might startle Fred Mitchell
and the Cubs with a comeback.
Sizing up the Phillies.
Clever field generalship, hard work
at keeping his men in condition, and
a constant application at all times to
business by Pat Moran is the thing(
that has kept the Phillies in the Na
tional league race ever since he suc
ceeded Charley Dooin as leader of
the Philadelphia club.
Moran has not had a team of stars.!
He has had a fairly good club at all
times. He has had the best pitcher
in the National league, one of the fin
est shortstops in either league, a brill
iant catcher, one sterling outfielder,;
and just a fair assortment of other
ball players. Most of his men are
veterans and have been considered
so for years. They are not whizzes at j
running bases, but they can hit.
There are the reasons why anyone
who picks the Philies as a team which
is due to collapse had better think
again.
It Is a certainty that the Phillies are
not going into the race this year with
the backing that has followed them
for some years. The team is not so!|
good as it was a year ago, nor it is so
good as it was two years ago—but it
still is a first division aggregation, and!
that's where it doubtless will finish, j
In bewailing the loss of Grover Alex-j
ander it is well to remember that
after all Alexander may h,eave a few j
games for the Phillies, for the pur
chase of that star by the Cubs became
null after he had been drafted
Chances are Alexander will not be or
dered to report until some time dur-j
ing the summer. If Charles Weegh
man cares little onugh about a lot of
dollars to pay a huge sum for the
hurler he can have hl«n for that short
period. But it isn’t likely he will.:
Even if Alexander doesn't pitch a I
game for the Phillies there still re-1
mains a good staff in Quaker town.!
Chief Bender did some funny things1
with a baseball last summer and when.
MRS. THOMAS EDWARDS
Mrs. Thomas Edwards of Oberlin,
O., at the age of ninety-five years has
supplied her four sons and numer
ous grandchildren with enough canned
stuff from her own garden to provide
them for winter. 8he did all her
garden work except the plowing, and
canned her products under the direc
tion of manuals furnished by the na
tional emergency food garden commis
sion.
it gets hot again he may be able to
repeat.
In addition to the Chief, Moran has
Baumgartner, Fittery, Buckles, Mayer,
Oeschger, Davis, Prendergast, and
Woodward. Davis, in Moran's expec
tations, will become a real big leaguer.
He was credited with being among the
best of the American association’s
right-handers last season and has had
a lot of experience.
The Philly infield is intact, with
Home units slowing up. The outfield
isn’t quite so good as last year, but it
still has one remarkable star in George
Whitted. Moran expects Eddie Burns
to capably fill the place left by Bill
Killefer, and has a fine understudy
in Jack Adams.
Moran gets the last thing in effi
ciency out of his ball clubs. It may
be his year to spring another surprise

THE ACCOUNTING
“Go forth and bleed and die.
Ye who stand beneath my rod
Add to my glory and my fame,
Heed not the frown of your God;
What care I, save for victory.
To dominate this world—
The seas of blood, the orphans made —
So long as my power I hold!
“Go forth and bleed and die!"
The soldiers of the land
Go forth to meet the arni-ed foe,
To bleed and die for one little man!
Their widows weep and thei1, orphans
wail,
Lifting pale faces to God above;
But still the war. with its blood and
death,
Goes on. in the land that knows not
love!
“Go forth and bleed and die!"
The command this monarch spoke
Came in God's great voice rebuking
him
On the day when his soul awoke!
He knelt in fear and trembling.
Nor could he answer make
For the million lives he might have
saved
That were all laid down for his small
sake!
—Annabelle Dennison MaeConnell.

CAUGHT
The wife of a Dorchester man w'">
had .the traditional falling—he forg
to mall letters—has cured him. Th
mail is delivered at their home before
breakfast, which is comparatively late.
One morning she said to her husband:
“Did you have any mail this morn
ing, dear?”
"Only a circular,” he answered as
he bit into a fine brown slice of toast
“Huh,” said the wife. “By the wav,
did you mail the letters 1 gave you yes
terday?”
“Sure I did,” was the righteously in
dignant reply.
“Well.” answered wife, with an elo
quent smile, “it's funny, then, you had
no letters this morning, because one
of those I gave you to mail was ad
dressed to you—just as a sort of key. ’
