Asiatics in California, using their own
and Chinese capitalists resources, are
busy planning to build and operate a
line of steamers that will share in the
profits that lie ahead for all carriers
of goods and passengers across the
Pacific. Now 1t is true that China has
no traditions of marine glory, and her
experience up to date with modern
vessels of war has not been as glori-
Gus as that OF Japan. But China has
been a great trading nation for cen
turtles; her coasting and river bust
ness experience has been long. varied
and profitable; and it is not at all un.
likely that in due time she can sue
cessfully administer a project such as
is now limited at from Los Angeles.
Following Germany's example, China,
with vastly better ports and outlets,
by strict application of rational pro-
cesses to creation of a merchant mar
ine,, navy and markets for increased
industrial and mineral output, can be-
come a. rival Of Japan in the Pacific,
and doubtless win If left free to de-
velop normally.

Ira Thomas Says
 Bender Is Wonder
Former Hartford Catcher Gives Inside Stuff About PhiIa-
 deIphia Athletics

Ira Thomas. the famous catcher of the Philadelphia Athletics and the main squeeze in Connie Mack's board of strategy, blew into Hartford Tues day without any trumpets and with out any brass band accompaniment.
 In speaking of the good habits Of the players on the worlds champions ship team. Thomas said that Connie Mack who does not smoke nor drink, himself could put first class nine on the field composed of players who are total abstainers and who do not use tobacco. A few of the players the season is over. Charles Albert Bender takes his firewater in homeo- pathfc doses and Iron Man Coombs sucks on a pipe and few others puff on cigars Thomas said that in the major league clubs at the present time strict inquiries are made about money invested in their plants that they do not like to take chances with rummies.
 Most of the fans have read so much about the worlds series that they wouldn't read a signed article by Com nie Mack himself at this late day but Thomas had a few things of interest to say about the big show. He said he spent some sleepless nights in fig uring out what pitcher should be us was reasoned that Matty might win in New York and that Bender was sure to cop in Philly.
 The question was whether it would be good policy to put Bender in in New York and run chance of los ing or saVing him for the first game at home Mack's idea was to have Bender work the first day and kill Matty off and he announced that the battery for the opener would be Ben. der and Thomas. His scheme worked all right for Thomas said that Matty worked himself out and was all in at +he close of the game
 Thomas said that on the Athletic clrh the members figure out what balls are to be pitched to certain bats are many arguments the nlan is brought down by elimination until the manager, the battery men and others agree upon the plan of ac- lion. In this line Of work, Thomas estimates that the Athletics are about three years in advance of any other club He regards Chief Bender as the greatest living pitcher and in this agrees with Connie Mack.

Jack Barry Gets
 Praise From Scout
BILLY MURRAY OF PITTSBURG SAYS MERIDEN BOY IS GREAT EST SHORTSTOP IN GAME.

New York, Jan. EBilly Murray, Pittsburg scout, predicts Jack Barry will develop into the best shortstop ever known.
 Give Barry two more years and he will reach lis top form" says Mur- ray. Tn my opinion Barry is the key to the Athletics infieId- That may seem funny to some people, but that's the way I look at it. Barry is always doing something. He is all ways in front of the ball and does the right thing at the right time.
 There's nothing flashy about Bar rvs style of play He covers all the ground in sight without much fuss The fans fall for the acrobatfc stuff. but the men on the inside know which player is doing the best work. That is why I admire Barry and predict he will be the leading shortstop.
 Barry may not hit over -250 in a season. but that .250 average gets his ball club more than half the 300 hitters. In a tight game. with Barry up in a pinch, the fans feel pretty sure Jack will deliver.''
