"HICAGO, Feb. 19.-What a
really wonderful thing is
baseball enthusiasm! Why
has the game such hold on nearly
all red -blooded Americans?
First, because it is honest.
Second, because 1t is superlative-
ly scientific
Third because it is progressive
and develops some new and inter
esting phase almost daily.
In reigning dramatic produc-
ton the lines of the actors are
nearly always in effect the same,
and the situation and scenes sell
dom, if ever, change. In baseball,
however, one never knows what to
expect. Precedents are being con-
stantly established and the uncer-
tainty Of the game provides one Of
the potent reasons for it's fascinat-
ing hold on the masses.
1t Must Be Progressive.
1t is really an affront to the
American people to say that base
today than it ever was. Americans
are in no sense stand patters. They
never would lie awake nights and
dope" out an all-star baseball
team of this, that or the other
league If the sport had not kept
pace with the march of progress in
other lines of human endeavor.
You have to be up and doing in
baseball as in everything else, or
the parade will run over you. Base
ball could not practically sidetrack
a presidential campaign (as 1t did
last falD if it were not progress
sive. Neither would it be known as
the national game and recognized
blessing If there were not constant
improvement and progression.
Individual stars, in rare instances,
may have been as good twenty
years ago as the diamond lumina-
ries of today, but baseball as a
game is greater now than ever in
the past. 1t would not give solace
to thousands of unemployed in
times of general depression, nor
provide relaxation for the busy, if
it did not improve constantly.
Cubs Are Greatest Team.
During the past eight years the
Chicago Cubs have shown the
American public the fastest base
ball ever known. Such dextrous
skill, minute precision and general
machinelike excellence of So called
inside play as was shown In De-
troit in next to the last game of
the worlds series of 1908 was never
seen before. The mighty Detroit
Tigers, twice winners of the Amer
lean league championship, had a
man on second and one on first
base and nobody out, but the Cubs
played as one man and no runner
scored.
Those who saw the inning played
say they never saw 1t equaled and
do not expect to. The greatest
batsmen and base runners of the
decade were completely circum-
vented in their efforts to score by
the teamwork of the Cubs, and
thousands of friendly home specta-
tors sat as if transfixed and seem
ingly GREATNESS while the work of
humiliation was being completed
by the champions of. the world
The Cubs won the National league
championship in 1906, 1907 and 1903
and the worlds championship in
1907 and 1908. Every flag has been
honestly and fairly won and the
Cubs have endeared themselves to
the public by gentlemanly demean-
or at all times.
Evers Smartest Man in Game.

league was established, but re-

that club. Manager Smith is so
sure that he has the catchers he
wants in McAllister and Joe Dunn
that he is not going to fool with
any others.
10Y MORAN, ex-Cracker and eA-
N Lookout outflelder, leaves today
for the Pacific Coast, to join the
Sacramento team. Roy had plan
ned originally to go to Chicago and
make the trip to the coast on Char

THE way the Crackers are fall
ing over each other to sign their
contracts has Bill Smith cheered up
no little His ambition this year is
a team without indictments.
Ball players usually go where
they are sent But Bill has some
this year who picked out Atlanta.
Notable in the list are the two vet
eran catchers, McAllister and Joe
Dunn. Both of them are with the
Atlanta team because they want to
play here. Whitley Alperman is
tickled to death with Atlanta and
couldn't be better pleased any
where. Joe Agler likes Atlanta
Buck Becker is glad he's coming.
. So is this kid Price.
II Bill Smith can straighten out
few hold-out kinks, he will have
a team OF men who are willing to
play their very arms off for the
Gate City.
Mike Finn, one Of the wisest
heads in all baseball, said in a re
cent letter:
There is not man on my
team now that does not want to
return. do not believe in having
any other kind of men on my club
/ want them satisfied or l do not
want them at all.
AZ times a man makes releases
that no one can understand. but
behind il will be found generally
a reason. Either the man can't
get along with the manager or the
players, or does not like the city.
In such cases, l dispose of them as
best I can and take a chance on
the ones that will come being sat
sfed.
Last year we let Dick Bayless
and Swacina go-the two best
men on the club-but we never
felt their loss. l got Paulet gratis,

Bryan today laid before the diplomatic

agreement for peace. Almost every am

met at the secretary's office at noon in
response to his invitation to hear his
explanatiou~of the plan which will now
be the basis of treaty obligations.
Mr.. Bryan later said the outline no
presented to the diplomats did not go
into detail because details are mat
ter OF agreement between the contract
ing nations and there might be differ
ences in different cases.
Secretary Bryan Explains Plan.
THE statement presented to the dip
lomatic representatives" said Secre-
tarx Bryan. 'is only intended to SET
forth the main proposition, namely
that the president desires to enter into
an agreement with each nation for the
investigation OF all questions OF every
nature whatever. This agreement is IN
tended to supplement the arbitration
agreements now in existence, and those
which may be made hereafter. Arol-
tration treaties already except son1e
questions from arbitration. The agree
ment proposed by the president is in
tended to close the gap and leave no
dispute that can be become cause for
war without investigation.
THE time when the report is to be
made is left to be agreed upon and 1t
may be that the time will differ in diff
ferent cases. but any time. however
short. will furnish an opportunity for
investigation and dcliberation. and it
is hoped that the period provided for
investigation and deliberation will be
sufficient, to secure a settlement without
resortinK to war.
atsp Toward Universal Peace.
Each party is to reserve the right to
act independently after a report is sub
mitted hut it is not likely that ma
ton m1ll deelara war after 1T has had
an opportunity to- confer, during the
investigation. with the opposing nation.
nBut whether the proposed agree
ment accomplishes as much as is hoped
for, It is at least step in the direction
of universal peace and am pleased to
be the agent thru whom the president
presents this proposition to the powers
represented here"
