PROPHETIC FANS ALL BUSY
Experts Trying to Pick Winning
Teams in Major Leagues.
GIANTS AND PHILLIEs IN LEAD
Majority of Ferecaster. Think the
Giants Are Doped to Win, with
the PhiIlies for n Close
second.

NEW YORK, April 9-Will the races
for the pennant In the two major leagues
the National and American. be close this
year. or will they be another procession
fer the Athletics in the Ban johnson cir
cult and another victory for the Giants
In the Tom Lynch organization? The
answer to that question lies with the
five new managers appointed In the
American league and the two new chief
tains in the National.
The Athletics have the best chance Of
repeating. not only because Of their great
ali around strength. demonstrated in the
worlds series last fall. but because five
OF the teams in the service will be ex.
perimenting with new pilots. No matter
how gifted and experienced manager
may be, 1t invariably takes over one
season for him to get accustomed TO
his talent, and it's only u miracle
and these are not days of miraeles-if he
brings his charges home pennant win
ners.
The Tigers with Hughey Jennings as
boss, the Browns with Rhody Wallace
again at the helm. and the Athletics With
the peerless Connie Mack are the emily
clubs in the American league possessing
the same managers sLey possessed last
season. OF course, the Browns arc MT

trolls, because of their inability 10 sc-
quire any new material and b,:ause Of
the growing dimness Of sue1 stars as
Crawford and MuIlin. and the refusal OF
Shortstop Ownle Bush to sign, should
not cause the Philadeiphians much worry.
The Athletics undoubtedly fear the hign-
landers and the Red sox tne most Of
any OF the clubs In the league Although
both of these teams are trotting out
managers they didn't have last year. both
are Of acknowledged ability and OF the

nv w u MACBETH.

NEW YORK. April aO-There Is q re-
mote possibility of New York ''hogging'
the worlds championship series next fall.
No club in the National league has =
better chance for the pennant than John
J. McGraw's agile champions. Harry
wolverton's outlook with the Highland
ers does not appear nearly a. bright a.
McGraw's. but this club has q great deal
better than an outside lookin with the
sensational worlds champion Athletics.
Let US first consider the Highlandsrs.
for they are the more doubtful PROPOSE
ton. wolverton firmly believes that he
has chance to wrest the crown from
Connie Maek's brow. He is not under
estimating the Athletics; perhaps over
estimating his own followers. A convic-
ton will go long way in any honest
purpose. wolyerton not only believes in
his team. but he has every member o:
the squad infused with the desire to make
the very best possible showing There
is not man on the payroll but has COM
plete confidence in himself and his
teammates individually and collectively.
The club is hooked up far more closely
than Il has ever before been amalga-
mated. A snappy. hustiing style Of play,
with every athlete full OF life and poIse
is bound to prove at least an interesting
novelty to American league fans who
have been used to look upon the Hilltop
pers as rather lethargic group. despite
any race position they might occupy.
wolverton is manager who will get
every ounce Of energy out Of his follow
ers. He Is hustler; a driver. But he
never asks a player TO work harder than
himself and he drives himself as long
and arduously as the veriest recruit.
Within a week after he took charge of
the club he had every player pulling for

BILLIARD RULES MADE CLEAR
There Has Been Much Misunder

BUSINESS IS INTERPRETED WITH
II f. Proposed 60 Materially In
crease Number OF Tournaments
I'm All sections of the
Country.

NEW YORK, April 0.-There has been
so much misunderstanding as to the rules
relative to the direction Of tournaments
decided under the auspices Of the Ma
tional Association Of Amateur Billiard
Players. and to the influence exerted BY
the association toward the preservation
of high amateur standard and its pro-
lection Of players enrolled upon its menu
bership. that the association has issued
a statement for the purpose Of clearing
up matters.
A plan to direct players and tourna-
ments was formulated at the meeting OF
the national association on October q.
1871 This plan was formally adopted at
the meeting held November q. The plan
required notification to the association OF
all open tournaments and a record OF the
competitors was put into operation jan
uary ]. 1872. Previous to that date printed
circulars explaining the rules and their
application were mailed TO players. clubs
and public rooms throughout the country.
Adverse criticism soon appeared. In
this city J. Ferdinand Poggenberg,
former national champion. declared that
the association in attempting to super :
wise tournaments held in public rooms
was interfering with the business OF the
proprietor. Maurice DAILY. room-keeper
of prominence; George Slosson and sew
eral others took this, view. This resulted
In the subject being discussed at another
meeting held on January Is. when for the
third time an almost unbroken majority

SALT RIVER.
By the Poet Philosopher.

The long campaign is OCT, and on Salt rivers shore We stand and watch the boats of those who tried to save this country from it's grave, and only lost their goats. The rivers cold and dark; the boatmen In their bark don't smile or sing or joke; they do not care whoop what country's in the soup, what govern
 ment goes broke. They sadly guide their ship the while their teardrops drip into the briny flood; the captain, bosun, mate, have got their grouch on straight, the vessels name is Mud. The sailors in the hold just stand around and scold and curse bHghted lives; their hope, they mur- mur, ends because their faithless friends got after them with knives. An. dismal is the scene! The old masts careen and shake each spar and yard; and from the haunted shore the sailors hear the roar of roorback and canard. The woods along the beach re.echo to the screech of elephant and moose;
 the donkey stands and brays for per ished yesterdays, and mutters: 70, what's the use!" Oh, sad old ship and. grey, go on your weary way, with all your weeping men. your voyage is in vain; when there's new campaign they'll bring you back again! Once

BUYING AT HOME.

The way to build up town is to encourage home industries. and to patronize the local merchants. If there is brewery-and you drink Jeer-try your home brew. It prob ably is just as good or even better than that imported. say from Seattle. IT you smoke cigars why not try the homemade product, and help it along. It. too. probably will average up to many Of the brands that are purchased elsewhere-likely it will be superior to most. And the same may be said of home producted ar ticles generally. The idea that one must go away from home to purchase articles that can be had in the home town. of as good quality and at as fair prices. seldom holds good, Mail order houses which frequently sell in- ferior goods, fatten on the people who would fare better in the long run if they puEGudStu lntAAl dt uNAAS' A dollar planted in Seattle. Chicago or New York stays there and does not return. But the dollar spent in your home town is passed along and helps many and not infrequently returns to yourself to be again sent out to do good. returning to you ever and anon in sort of endless chain.
 It is this spirit that builds up towns and cities. stimulates trade and com merce. and creates a healthy, stimu' lating local sentiment that is of far. reaching importance.
 The season of Christmas and the shopping which 1t brings are almost here. Carefully examine the stocks of the local merchants before you send elsewhere for what you need, Consult The Empires advertising col. umns. and you will quite likely find what you need.

OF NARROW VISION.

In small towns people are apt to grow narrow. wheresover these towns be located. Isolation is a prime cause Of the vision Of people becoming "cribbed cabined and confined"
 They become self.centered. suspic- ious, intolerant of the views and opin- ions Of others, and nourish spirit of pettiness that is most harmful to themselves and their communities. The breeding and cultivation of petty jealousies and factional strife are we'll illustrated by a late occurrence in the town of Whitehorse, just across the Alaska border, which, ac- cording to the whitehorse Star. has almost disrupted the center of gray; ity" in that town.
 Recently Dr. Alfred Thompson. member of parliament for Yukon ter. ritory, visited whitehorse and was rendered a banquet, whereupon a con- siderable portion of the citizeship re- fused to attend 1t, presumably be- cause the other portion of the com muity would eat bread and salt with the peoples representative. There fore they planned a banquet of their own. thus compelling their disting uished visitor to attend two "func- tions." when in all probability he would have preferred none, and em. barrassing him most unnecessarily. Such state of affairs in any con- munity is little short of disgusting. and only small. mean and utterly jaundiced minds would encourage it or give it countenance. The best that whitehorse can get out of it is undesirable notoriety.
 A great country like Alaska. or Yu. kon. should broaden the minds of men rather than contract them. The im- mensity and majesty of nature is there unveiled and man, in contrast. becomes a weak. puny and pititul creature! And this thought should be sufficient to develop the best that is in him. not the meanest.

THE suFFRAeETTE WAR,

The renewal of active hostlllties. SO to speak, by the English' suffra- gettes has in it an element of the ludicrous. A militant suffragette horsewhipped an moffending Presby' terian clergyman at Aberdeen, Scot land. thinking that he was Lloyd George. the British chancellor of the excheQuer. Another, when denied speedy trial after being arrested with a box of fire crackers under her arm, in a public hall, removed her shoe and hurled it at the head of the mag istrate. These are some of the ridic- ulous features of the agitation the women of England, Scotland and Wales are carrying on in order to further the cause of votes for wom- en. The women of Ireland do not seem to have taken an active part in this propaganda. as yet. The Irish people are more concerned in the broader question of home rule for that country.
 The more serious side to the sui fragette movement is noticeable in the wanton destruction of mail by the agency of chemicals placed in the unonending letter boxes. Without in anyway reflecting upon or dispar- aging the cause for which these mil ltant women are working, We confess to being unable to quite get their point of view, when it involves phy- sical assault upon members of the government. the destruction of pri- yate and public property by hammer hurling. brlckbat throwing and the use Of acids as in the case of the mails
 They tolerate things and conditions in Great Britain that would not be permitted in America. The British government has dealt leniently with these women, many of whom have been arrested and given jail sem tences; few of them. however have served the full time. having been re- leased for various causes. Some of the incarcerated have tried to starve themselves to death while undergo ing imprisonment that their cause might be strengthened and the Brit ish people given an object lesson, showing their devotion to it.
 The women of nine Of the states of our own country have been given the vote without turmoil, without bit. terness. riot or tumult, and they have shown themselves to be quite as com. petent to exercise the franchise as their fathers. husbands or brothers.
 Of course we cannot judge condi. tions in foreign country accurate. ly by comparing them with our own. The point of view is not the same; conditions, circumstances, environ ment-the people themselves are diff rerent.
 Figures showing the relative nor, ality, sobriety, health and sanity of the sexes in England and Wales, de. tailed in the census report of 1911, indicate that while women are more moral than men, they are not as sane or as sober. and the frequent omeutes of the women who are using the. most extraordinary means to compel a reluctant government to enfranchise them, seem to bear out the statements touching their sanity and soberness of judgment.
 The end may justify the means, but the American mind fails to grasp It ir it's full significance, probably be- cause here the woman Is considered at least the equal Of the man, and not a somewhat inferior creature who must battle for her rights.

reached a basis of agreement for a fortnight's armistice in the Balkan war. The terms had not been an. nounced. Perhaps the agreement was merely for a temporary cessation of hostilitles during which a treaty of permanent peace could be arranged.
 The tenacity of purpose with which the Balkan states have pursued this war is one of the most astounding circumstances in European war his tory. While Turkey has been beg ging for peace. the allies have kept on battering down the walls of her fortified cities, beating the Turkish forces wherever they presented themselves, and have succeeded al- most completely in destroying the moral of the Turkish army-some- thing that Napoleon said was the most important condition to be main tained in warfare
 Two hundred thousand Turkish soldiers have been rendered ineffic- tent. through capture, sickness, wounds, disease or death in a few weeks. It is another awful commen- tary upon the horrors of war, but no commentary can be sufficiently strong to express the woe, the suffer ing, sorrow and disaster that follow in its wake
 Whatever the outcome of this war may be, the Turk bids fair to be hustled out of the door of Europe, insofar at least that he will find him self stripped of a part of his Euro, pean possessions and will thus find himself of little consequence hereafter in the affairs of Europe, Dissolute, damned and despairful, hereafter the crescent flag is not likely to inspire fear in Europe. Of respect 1t has had none for centuries.

THE PRESENT NOT THE PAST.

On the first page Of Daily Alaskan today we are reproducing an article from the Daily Empire. The editor of the Empire was once a resident of Skagway-in the early days of which he speaks. He recalls the inconse- quential and unsubstantial fever of the rush for gold, and compares 1t all with the permanency of the present, showing Skagway where she is a thousand times better of now than then. It is true We have not the pop. ulation of the old days, but we have a more prosperous and happier article because our people are attached to their homes and are producing the material things which make up a considerable portion of life's joys.
 We believe with the Empire, that the best thing that can be said of the good old days is that they are gone. and thus given place to a more settled and productive com munity. Skagway is at her best today. and tomorrow she will be still better.-Skagway Alaskan.
