FIRST BASEMEN
IN BIG DEMAND
Major League Team Managers
Scour Country For Material
NEW ONES BEING TRIED OUT.

Six American League Clubs Are Elk
perinsntins With Youngsters =,
Training CsmPs-5oston and Pitts
burg In National Weak.
A glance at the make OF the six
teen clubs in the two II ,jor league
organizations will disclose the fact
that few teams have the initial bag
covered as the requirements of the DO
sition demand.
The conditions are worse in the
American league than In the National,
for, with the exception of the Athlet-
les and New York, the teams In the
junior organization are weak at first,
and the managers are having consider
able trouble finding men to fil the DO
sitions.
The National league Is considerably
stronger in first basemen than the
American league, Pittsburg and Bos-
ton being the only teams that are real
ly weak at the initial sack. The Phil
lies have veteran in Kitty" Brans-
field, who is slated to play first again
this year, although Manager Doom
has two other men who are candidates
for Bransfield's place.
Chicago is pretty well supplied, with
Frank Chance and Jimmy Archer
McGraw is satisfied with how Merkle
played last year and will play him
there this year. McGraw has prom
Using recruit in Gowdy. but says he
will try to make n catcher ont of the
youngster. Cincinnati hrs probably
the best first baseman In the National
league in Hoblitzel when ability and
youth are considered, and Konetchy
of st. Louis and Daubert of Brooklyn
look to have their jobs safe. Pitts
burg will have to do some more ex-
perimenting this year, and Fred Ten
ney will try TO prove that he can
.'come back" with Boston.
Aside from the Athletics and New
Yorks. the American league is very
weak at first base, and every manager
except Connie Mack and Hal Chase
has been securing the country for new
material. Hughey Jennings hopes to
secure a successor to Tom Jones in the
bunch of recruits he has signed. Ness
and Gaynor will be tried out, and If
neither man proves satisfactory George
Moriarity may be found on the initial
bag
Hughey Duffy is going to give Jiggs
Donohue another chance and has Tex
Jones, youngster, as a promising
candidate. Hohnhorst Is the most
likely candidate for George Stovalrs
place on the Cleveland team, but has
yet to prove that he has the makings
of major league first sacker. Patsy
Donovan has selected no successor to
Jake Stahl and Is experimenting with
bunch of players. There are three or
four candidates for Unglaub's place
on the Washington team. The st.
Louis Browns are worse off than any
Of the other clubs. Bobby Wallace, re-
Gently appointed manager, has been
trying to make trades to build up his
team. but has not yet landed man to
cover first
The New Yorks are well fixed with
Hal Chase. although many figure that
managerial duties Will affect his play
ing. Still, he outclasses them all. The
veteran Harry Davis will again hold
bag No. for the Athletics the coming
season Manager Mack says Harry ia
good for many more years. and unless
some accident happens to him he will
hold his position.

When will the people Of Benton

matter while the. opportunity is

be the means of encouraging our
people to build more good roads
until we have all good roads.
Good roads will not only save
your wagons and your, stock will
be benefited thereby, but you can

wear and tear, and you can go any

WHAT M'CROSSEN SHOULD Do.

Why does the Governor urge John
lMcCrosson and his associates to con-
tinue the fight for the so-called Kau
| ditch bill, that is in fact radical re-
vision of the whole public land
scheme of the Territory, when he
knows that the opposition to the bill
and to the method by which it has
been handled is widespread and de-
1termined?
Why does the Governor follow up
one false move with another?
The thing for McCrosson to do is
Immediately cease spending his time
in Washington, return to Honolulu,
get in touch with the people, and Sc
cure Hawaii's legislative endorsement
flor an irrigation scheme that will
meet the approval of the people and
Iif possible be passed upon by them
lat the polls.
Then and not till then will he be
able to go to Washington with a
proposition free from vigorous local
Opposition. Experience has shown
that members Of Congress, regardless
of party, are ready to do that which
the people here believe is best, so it
does not interfere seriously with the
principles that furnish the corner
stone of development on traditional
American lines
McCrosson's course is clear. The
people of Hawaii are not against the
kau ditch scheme. But they are OPP
posed to a general irrigation act
passed in the name of the Kau ditch,
that will rip the land laws wide open
and bring irrigation companies into
being like mushrooms over night to
gobble all the water rights and leave
the homesteader to whistle They
will fight such proposition here;
they will fight it in Washington; and
the o. x. of the Governor of the Ter
ritory cannot save it.
We believe it possible for Mr.. Nc
Crosson and Mr.. Parker to go to
Washington with an irrigation plan
having back of it the people of Ha-
wall, and one entirely feasible to
finance
When they have such a measure, it
will make no difference whether the
