SOME ONE HAS SAID

James r., McAleer of Youngstown,
Ohio the manager of the Browns, the
man with eight busy months work
ahead of him, is expected in town
Wednesday or Thursday.
ITS up to Mac-the team is here,
is the crack of the fans when talk
about the new Browns is in order
From Clark Griffith he secured Will
liams, Hoffman and Ferris, after the
last named had been landed from Bos-
ton by C. G.
From Joe Cantillon he annexed Char
ley Jones.
From connie" Mack he plucked
"Ru. ;" Waddell.
There's five great baseball names to
conjure with. 1t was good bet at
any old price as recent as New Year,
day that that quintet wouldn't be
working for the firm of Hedges & Nc
Aleer
But the gang is here, and, remem-
bering Spencer, Petty, Powell, Howell,
Bailey, Wallace and Stone, not to for
get Stephens, Blue, Dineen, Jones,
Brown and Yeager, with some of the
recruits also having chance to prove
live ones, McAleer is long on talent.
It's up to Mac"
That's as true as Gospel. It's been
up to Mac" before. Perhaps he's been
a failure. Most of the fans" and most
of the critics seem to think he has
been very Harry Gleasonish ON the job.
But perhaps this will be his year.
He has certainly put it up to himself.
He has a team harboring bit of ev-
erything.
He has youngsters and vets, riders of
the ApolinariS wagon and loungerS of
the booze train, fat men and slim men,
hustlers and bone heads, fighters and
tame sisters.
TITS sure up to Mac" A big percent
age of the fans" are for him. So are
most of the baseball writer's. Yours
truly is certainly backing him UP. Mac
may have made his mistake in the
past; may have been a mistake him.
self But this new team shows how
he is trying to rectify matters. A
grand ballplayer in his day and gen.
tleman, Mac deserves to meet with
better success the coming summer than
has been coming his way since he
stepped on Missouri soil.
They have it up in Detroit that there
was a time when "Rube" Waddell stood
out like a redheaded Irishman at an
Italian picnic when bucking the Tigers.
But last year, they claimed up north,
George Edward was not much of puz-
zle. Writes Brother Bingay IN the
News:
'eWaddell had the Tigers, climbing
trees (this is no nature fake).N Some of
those Donovan Waddell duels are never
to be forgotten by the Tiger followers.
But last year it was different. They
beat the 'Rube' any old time. He won
against them about once"

By the enabling act passed by the

LOOKS like ALL
men ARE LIARS
Witnesses in Submarine In
quiry Deny All Lilley's
Statements
HObsOn, the Hero, Must Have
fibbed Also, Accord
ing to These

Washington, March 1.-THE state
ment of Representative Hobson
of Alabama, before the special COM
mittee investigating the charge made
by Representative Lilley of Connec-
ticut, that he had been approached
by a representative of the Electric
Boat company who offered to use his
influence with the speaker to have
Mr.. Hobson placed on the naval af-
fairs committee If he stood right for
submarines, was contradicted before
that committee today by Lawrence
Spear, former naval officer who Mr..
Hobson and had spoken to him.
Mr.. Spear said he had not made any
promises to secure the influence of
anyone and said he did not know the
speaker. Mr.. Spear claimed that his
company had never endeavored to
suppress competition; had never re-
ceived an order from the navy de-
partment except as successful COM
petition.
Two other witnesses Of the day
were A. A. Erly and Frank B. Lord,
two newspaper men who Mr.. Lilley
charged had warned him against the
Electric Boat company. They both
denied that they were ever in the
pay Of the company, although they
said they had done some special
work for Mr.. McNeir, one OF the at
torneys for the company in the way
Of getting out some feature" stories
on submarines for which they had
been paid. Both witnesses testified
that they had lost their position as a.
result Of Mr.. Lilley's charges. Mr..
Lord characterized the publication
by Mr.. Lilley Of the interview he
claimed to have had with him as
"unqualifiedly, absolutely and DELHI
erately untrue" The committee ad-
journed until Thursday.

Tommy Burns, American
Champion, Wins Easy
Victory Over Roche
Fight Hardly Started When
Burns Lands lab on
R0che'S Jaw

Dublin, Mar 17-Tommy Burns. the
American heavyweight champion,
made short work of Jem Roche, the
Irish champion, in the contest this
evening at the Theater Royal for the
worlds heavyweight championship.
Practically only one blow was
struck, Burns knocking Roche out af.
ter hardly more than minute of
fighting, by short hook to the jaw.
So quickly did the end come that the
great crowd which filled the theater
in the expectation of seeing the Irish
man put up a good fight for the title,
hardly realized what had happened.
When the men entered the ring it
was evident that the sluggish Roche
was no match for the more experienc.
ed Burns. They spared for less than
minute, the Irishman altogether on
the defensive and the American en-
deavoring to find an opening. Then
Burns Tented quickly and put a
short, sharp right to the jaw and
Roche went down. He was badly daz.
ed and although he struggled to re.
gain his feet, he was unable to do
so before the fatal count of ten was
made.
The fight tonight was for purse
of $500, which was put up by a
syndicate of which Richard Croker
former Tammany leader, was mem
Der, and side bet of $1,000. In ad
dition Burns had $1,000 on himself Al
odds of three to one. The ringside
betting was to 2 on the American.

Now the English sparrow has his
chance. With a few fell swoops he
may win himself a indication as com
plete as that Of Dreyfus.
Our parks are invaded by a terrible
moth. Under the felonious uippers
Of this horrifying insect the foliage
Of our trees is slipping fast away. Our
underbrush is disappearing. Even our
grass may go next.
Away back In the sixties New York
suffered similar plague, and some
ill-starred genius imported the spar
row to stop IL. But the remedy turned
out to be worse than the disease. The
sparrow drove all our native birds
out Of our cities, and has been max
ing an ear-splitting noise about II
ever since. Let him redeem himself
By coming TO our rescue now and
driving out the destroying moth Or
let him forever after hold his peace
