 Both the Cleveland and New York teams of the American have shown much better in their spring practice than Comiskey's White Sox, who are virtually a new team this year, with three new guardians for the inner works, new outer pickets and several new battery combinations. Connie Mack almost won pennant last year with his renovated team and the Red !Sox set a sizzling pace until near the end with team that promised no more than the White Sox now promise. So it won't do to count Coniskey out of it.
 As for St. Louis, Boston and Brook 1yn in the National, and Washington and St. Louis in the American, there doesn't seem to be a derrick in ex- istence strong enough to lift them out of their recent berths near the bot tom Of the heap.
 An added interest in the Nationals race this year is the adoption of a strong policy regarding the urnpiring and the protection of the umpires Pres Lynch bids fair to follow the example of Ban Johnson of the Amer ican in this respect and it is predict ed that the day of umpire-baiting is forever past.

 Meeting with hearty cooperation from both the authorities of Fair field and the residents of the Snake Hill district, the Bridgeport Automo- bile Dealers association is now con ndent that great success will attend the hill climb it plans to hold in Snake Hill, Fairfield on the morning of Memorial Day. This event, they expect, will supplant in great meas ure the Sport Hill contest, which was this year abandoned by the Au- toInobi1e Club of Bridgeport.
 Autono obilists for many miles around were accustomed to flock to the Sport Hill event by the thousand, and from day break pedestrians used to throng the roadways leading to the scene of the thrilling trials. The dealers believe Snake Hill affords even better advantages in many re- spects than does Sport Hill, such as the more advantageous view, better protection for spectators and more desirable parking spaces.
 President F. A. Rantz of the dea1- CTS association has announced the following general committee: F. A. Rantz, president; J. J. Kerwin, vice president; J. L. BIoomer, secretary; F. W. .Tomlinson, treasurer, and Vance Shearer, Harry Ashmore, Stan ley Kellogg, Augustine Wood, H. D. Gates, Fred Mills and Ralph Barnes.

Manager McCann returned last evening from New York where he had been all day.

Hall played in the three games in the south with York Americans. According to the dispatches he was going great, and hitting the ball like a big 1eaguer. The experts could see nothing for him but the big league in another season. Manager McCann will play him at second base.
 Manager Billy Hanna of the New Britain club is still willing to sell his team He was seen yesterday and money, who meets my price, can have the team up to 2:45 o'clock on the opening day.

 The members of the Troy team which is to play here Saturday will arrive Friday evening and will put up at the Atlantic. The Troy team this season is considered the strong %r league. Their showing against the big league and Eastern league clubs warrant sthat concession.
 A youth named McGratf, hailing from South Norwalk blew into New field Park yesterday for try-out: performed well. McGrath says that for the past four years he has been trying to catch on with Bridgeport but could not seem to land. He de- cided that the best for him to do was to take the trip to town and get into harness His first appearance gave game. He was fast both in the out field and on the bases, and lined out a few snappy drives
 The team yesterday in the absence of Manager McCann was under the direction of Kid Ladd, who peppery thing. Two teams were formed, and a scrub game played in which all the pitchers got chance to work out

that he is able to know whether he can
withstand the temptation or no.
Many of us who have never been
tempted by certain sins blame those who,
having been tempted. fall. How do we
know that we ourselves would not do
likewise were we similarly tested? We
should be most careful how we blame
others for their failures.
Christ was tested in the wilderness, and
nobly withstood the temptation. Job was
tested, vet proved true. Great battle
ships are built for nations. but before
they are accepted and paid for they must
first be tested. They are taken out to
sea and thorough trial is made of their
worthineSS. Quiet harbors are splendid
places to rest in, but they do not test the
ability of boat to brave a storm The
home is the ideal place in which our
children should be taught to develop
character. so that when they go forth
to meet life's temptations they may hope
to win in the struggle. The Junior Chris
tian EndeavOr Society and the Sunday
school are also places where the children
are getting that into their lives which
will make them strong to meet and over
come temptation.
If we think Of temptations as being
times when we are being tried and tested
it will help us to make a greater effort
to overcome them. All good things lie
beyond struggle Of some kind. Tempta-
tons come to us in many forms: we must
be constantly on our guard lest they mar
the usefulness of our lives.
