HUNT FOR WRITER'S
OF CARIBOU SONGS

Washington, Dec. l6.-Secretary
OF War Garrison was on the trail to-
day OF the authors of the songs and
skits included in the entertainment
at last Thursdays annual banquet OF
the Caribou Society. which gave so
much offense to President Wilson on
account of ridicule INDUCED in at
the expense of the army.
In the secretary's demand, those
who had charge of the entertainment
turned over copies of all manuscript
used in connection with the program,
so that there would be no difficulty
in determining who was responsible.
No secret was made of the fact that
the army head wants to see whether
the offenders can be punished.
The society consists of army and
navy officers who have served in the
Philippines. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels also was conducting an in
vestigation in his department. though
just what steps he has taken he did
not make public.
To say that the officers whose con-
duct is being looked into are upset is
to express it too mildly. Anger as
we'll as anxiety was voiced by many
of them. That their entertainment
would be resented seemed never to
have occurred to any of them. Pre-
sident Wilson's order for an investi-
cation, with view to possible repri-
mands, and his withdrawal from his
recently accepted honorary member
ship in the society fell like a thunder
bolt.
Aside from his objection to the
satirical references to his Philippine
policy and to members of his cabinet
1t was said the president considered
the entire entertainment an n'undigni-
fed one for high military and naval
officers to take part in.

One of the many peculiarities of base
ball crops up In Daubert being consid-
cred by the Chalmers trophy commission

last year, was looked over by a scout for

CARDINALS LOSE MANY
GAMES BY CLOSE MARGIN

Lack of q punch in the close games
has proved the downfall of many ball
clubs. This same was true of the 1918
Cardinals. The band under the man
agement did not own the punch; could
not bring forth a hit when one little
bingle would have resulted in a victory,
and this more than anything else was
the cause of the clubs standing at the
end of the season.
Higgins crew finished last in the Ma
tional league race. But in favor of
higgins it must be said that he did not
have an overly good bah club His
pitchers went bad towards the middle
OF the season and he had only Harry
Sallee who went through the season
without tailoring. All the others fell
down.
But that's drifting too far away from
the dope. Regarding the one-run and
shut-out defeats of the club: The Cardi-
mails participated in 60 games during
the seanson In which the losing side
either failed to score or fell short
one tally.
In others words. more than one third
of the clubs games were decided in
this manner during the campaign. or
