"Red Reichstag" Will
Be Opened Tomorrow

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The sixth reichstag
will be formally opened tomorrow by
Emperor William in the great white hall
OF the imperial palace. Conservatives
have named it the 'red reichstag'' be-
cause of the overwhelming victory won
by the Social Democrats in the recent
election.
AS usual the Socialists will refuse to
go to the palace with the other mem
bers, 1t being against their principles
to call upon the Emperor.

WOULD MAKE ROOSEVELT
KING OF PHILIPPINES
To the Editor of THE TINES:

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Why is 1t that The Times seems so
anxious to see Mr.. Roosevelt elected?
No one else seems to want him. then
why The Times? Has the country not
had enough of this "bluffer," who
seems to want to run the universe?
Why not give him the Philippines and
let him make a little kingdom of his
own? We don't want the Philippines
and we don't want Roosevelt, so this
would get rid OF two very undesirable
"undesirables.
There is plenty of good timber in the
Republican fold that might be used,
but for the 'love of Mike not Roose-

pires In the American league and used
a composite selection in Determining
the players to be placed on his honor
roll He says in part:
On five Of the positions of the mythical
AH-American team there was a unanIm-
ity OF opinion. On four positions-frst
base. second base, catcher and shortstop
the judges OF play differed to a certain
extent. These arbitrat tors looked on Os-
car Stanage OF the Detroit club as the
best receiver, while Ed Sweeney, John
Henry and Bill Carrigan had two UNI
pires each who espoused their cause.
First base honors were divided between
Johnny Mc1nnis OF the Athletics and Hal
Chase OF the Highlanders. Five OF the
arb!trators leaned toward McInnis. while
four favored the peerless Chase
Shortstop honors found "Hein!e" wag-
ner OF the Red Sox. Jack Barry Of the
Athletics, George Mcbride of Washing

Meeney had a good run down the field
and looked dangerous for a time, but
Ruttcr was playing his position well
and repeatedly spoiled the Miners
Lake goal- The Salt Lake defense was
too strong for tho Miners and they
were sent away bootless.
Dick Braniley was. playing strong
and vigorous game and repeatedly
broke up the Miners attempts to com
bine and passing the ball from G..
Bramley TO Poole, that player found
the net with swife shot beyond the
reach of Hilleu. From the center kick
ellsworth and g. Bramley had run
but the shot from Bramley was fisted
out by Hillen. Park s left wing now
had run and were the best pair for
the Miners, but the parting shot went
