CUBS ARE OFF ON
ANUAL TRIP TO
1nxM
Left Chicago Today Have
Been Taking the Water Cure
at West Baden.

Chicago, March S.-Manager Frank
Chances Cubs, champions of the Ma
tional league, who have been taking
the water cure at West Baden springs
for the last week. left today for the
south. Only mild preliminary work
has been INDUCED in at the springs
and the strenuous work of the train
ing season will not begin until the
squad goes into camp at New Orleans
on Sunday.
Five exhibition games will be played
in the Crescent City with Charley
Franks Pelicans of the Southern
league, three games with the strong
Birmingham team and two games with
the Mobile nine of the Cotton States
league. The Cubs will also show at
Memphis and Nashville, and at Louis
vile will commence an invasion of the
American association territory.
With the exception of three days ut
the wind-up of the training season the
entire bunch will be kept intact and
there will be no division of forces for
the sake of the sheckels to be picked
W. W 5Ao"1A6 III IAC 6ubdlICE COWuS.
The hardest games of the tour are ex-
pected to be those arranged with the
University of Illinois team, to be played
at Champaign just before the opening
of the National league season.
Only six youngsters are being taken
on the southern trip, two of them, Dur
bin and Purdue, being pitchers who
have made great regulations in minor
leagues. It is almost certainty, how
ever, that when the umpire yells "Play
ball on April IL the Cubs lineup will
be the same as it was when the season
last year came to close. Manager
Chance is firm in the belief that his
veterans can put it over any team in
the National league as easily as they
did last season, despite their trouncing
by the White Sox in the worlds cham
pionship series, and will not be likely
to make any changes unless some of
his discoveries prove to be extraordi-
narily good players.
Perhaps the only change possibly to
be made in the lineup is the substitu-
ton of Holman for Jim Slagle in CEN
ter field. Slagle held down that posi-
ton last year, but was injured early in
the worlds series and Art Holman was
substituted. He was easily the star of
the Cubs team in that famous series,
covering center field perfectly and
making remarkable record with the
willow. Holman is one of the best all
around utility players in the league,
however, and it is not probable that
Chance will not care to lose his serv-
ices as a substitute on infield positions
by giving him a regular position in the
outer garden.
John Killing will continue as the star
man behind the plate and has few SUI
periors as a catcher in the baseball
world. Mordecai Brown, the three
fingered twirler who was the bright
particular star among National league
pitchers last year, is in good condition
and is expected to continue his phe-
nomenal work during the coming year.
Manager Frank Chance will again hold
down the initial bag, John Evers will
again play second, Harry Steinfeldt
will occupy third and Joe Tinker will
play short. Jim Sheckard and Frank
Schultz are certain to retain their
places in the outfield.

"THIS IS MY 10TH BIRTHDAY.
Homer c. Davenport.

Homer c. Davenport, whose political
cartoons have made his name familiar
to many newspaper readers through
out the country, was born in Silverton,
Ore, March s, 1867. His boyhood was
spent on an Oregon farm and the only
education he received was that afford
ed by the humble district school of the
neighborhood. firing of life on the
farm he left 1t to seek a wider field for
his ambitions and activities. For sew
eral years he engaged in various pur-
suits, being in turn a horse jockey, a
fireman on railroad and clown in
a circus. But no matter what work he
was engaged in he devoted many Of
his leisure moments to drawing FUN

toon artist was given him by San

Duluth and Copper Country
Papers Don't Like the -Four
Club Circuit.

That the Duluth and Copper Country
papers don't like the idea of four
club Northern Copper Country league
can be cleaned from glance down the
sporting columns. Several of the pa
pers openly admit that the fans want
change of players once in while, at
least more than a four-club league will
admit of. Grand Forks and Fargo are
the two towns wanted to complete the
circuit and from the dope" handed
out by some of the sporting scribes
one would be led to believe that these
two cities have already taken the mat
ter up and are knocking at the door
for admittance.
A dispatch from Calumet has the fol-
lowing to say with reference to the
present status, so far as the copper
country fans are led to believe:
Grand Forks and Fargo.
III the overtures of the Grand Forks
and Fargo baseball fans are favorably
received, it is likely that the league
will comprise six clubs, instead of four,
as now planned. Alexander Stearns
and other prominent baseball fans of
Fargo, who have plenty of money be-
hind them, are not going to let Fargo
be left out of the league without a
show of resistance. Grand Forks is
also said to be anxious to get team
back in the old company and it is more
than possible that the sixth team will
come from there. Superior has been
mentioned as a possible member of the
league and because Of its nearness to
Duluth would probably make a good
drawing card.
A point brought out very strongly at
the leagues annual meeting was the
salary limit. It is proposed to live up
to the agreement on this point to the
letter this season and any team found
violating the rule will be liable to a
heavy fine. Another factor which will
have much to do with the strengthen
ing of the league and prohibit the
dropping of any team without great
financial loss is a $1,000 forfeit Each
team will be required to put up
$1,000 forfeit that it will play out the
entire schedule.
Lake Linden Lid Lost,
All of Calumet's Sunday games, so
far as the present arrangements go,
will be played at the baseball park in
Lake Linden. This will be some rec
onpense to that town for the dropping
Of It's club from the league. 1t is ex-
pected that the schedule committee
will meet in Duluth in three or four
weeks to prepare the schedule for the
coming summer. BY that time it should
be known whether the league will COM
prise four or six teams"

goods are produced in Missouri than
in any other state.
The Flour and Cereal Mill Employees
are to hold their national convention
shortly at Belleville, Ill.
The new state of Oklahoma has
adopted what is known as the standard

A wOman's union for the protection
of the labor unions of men has been
organized in Jersey City. To establish
a school to instruct women how and
where to spend their money most bene-
ficially for union labor will be one of
the features of the organization.
The machinists of Providence, R. l.,
have voted to demand a nine-hour day
and an increase Of 10 per cent in pay,
to take effect on June 8 of the present
year. A schedule of ten hours a day
is now in force among the machinists
and the pay ranges from 81 to 1925 a
day.
The Ohio State Federation of Labor
complains that the state authorities
are not enforcing the Wertz law re.
stricting the employment of convicts
in competition with free labor. The
officers of the federation are pressing
the matter and intend to take it to the
courts.
The workers in the oil fields about
Beaumont, Tex, are planning to reor-
ganize the Oil and Gas Workers union.
It is understood that the action is pre-

field workers will make for an increase
of wages. The men are now receiving

tonight. In a battle before the Pacific
Athletic club at Los Angeles Memsic

 chances of an active demanu ans ..>- vance in prices of existing issues.
 Recurrent requirements on the money market, already outlined for installmenis of subscriptions of stock already issued, promised an extension of the strain on money resources for many, months ahead. Last weeks bank statement showed the loan item had practically exhausted the credit resources of the New York banks, and left the reserves at a lower figure than has been seen at this period or the year in a generation.
 Sentiment over the future of the money market was affected also by sales of notes by railroads and corporations, some or them running for period of three years and understood to have been sold at a price to yield 6 per cent, thus indicating the difficulties of finding market for ltore permanent securities and the desire to postpone their sale where possible. ] 4 complica ting factor in the weeks de- Ib, ession grew out of the activities of Ihc interstate commerce commission, and dhe facts elicited in it's investigation in Hhe operations and interrelations of the &'IIarrimar" railroads The extensive ac- uuisition of holdings of other railroads by the Union Pacific was surprise In itself, and aroused uneasiness as possi- ble ground for hostile action by the gov ernment This was still more marked in the case of some of the financial opera tions disclosed especially a sale followed by a repurchase of a great block or Southern Pacific at a period when an in-
