We have today in our dope series
the biggest problem of the National
league and a practical certainty to
study.
Boston's World Champion Red Sox
are practically certain to finish sec
ond in the American league, with
more chance of being first than they
are of dropping to third. But the
Chicago Cubs, under a new leader,
with the old stars scattered, the team
spirit that carried it to SO man vic
tories destroyed. present Il problem
stiff enough to puzzle the most ar
dent dopester:
MY figures show that the Cubs
ought to finish fourth. 1t is hard to
see how they can do worse than that
under any circumstances. Cincinnati,
under Tinker, figures to beat them.
New York, their ancient rival. looks
better all round, and Pittsburgh
seems much stronger.
The only chance I can see for the
Cubs to fall out of the first division
is for the team to go all to pieces or
for Philadelphia to come as strong as
it should do on it's paper strength.
One cannot, on the face of figures
and the probabilities, figure the Cubs
higher than third place, nor lower
h fifth.
The team, while dismantled and
smashed to pieces by the drastic &C
tons of the owner, still possesses
enough inherent strength and enough
promising youngsters to be dangerous.
The recruits do not add enough
strength to make much difference
either way.
In playing strength the team is
only about IL points weaker than it
was last spring, when it figured sec
ond, with a fair chance to beat the
Giants, and the real difference lies in
the change of managers.
This should not be construed as a
reflection upon the ability of Evers,
who has undertaken the hardest job in
baseball. To understand the situa-
ton one must know how the players
looked upon Chance. He was a strong
character, a man of strongest pas
sions, yet a just and square man,
quick to repair n injustice lone in
anger, and a fellow who never played
faVorites. He had q few men on the
team who secretly disliked him but
dared not say SO. These men, most of
whom are with the team now, are not
so loyal to Evers as they are be-
lieved, because Chance no longer is
there. Even this early one or two
have shown this relief in testing
Evcrs' sternness.
Evers knows as much baseball as
any nan living. He is clever, fair,
honest, and a fighter. Chance could
whip any man on the team in a
personal encounter. Evers cannot.
He must rule in other ways He al
ready has permitted the first knocks
to hurt his feelings and has made an
example of Zimmerman, showing his
authority. He did we'll there to prove
he meant business right at the start.
In figuring the men (the mes |
know WelD there are twice as many
Of the open adherents of Chance as
there are those against aim. | do
not think Evers has an enemy. He
has traded Tinker and probably will
lose two more men who have some
cause to be jealous of his prominence.

Bozeman, March S-fspecial.)-It is
even up in the battle for the college
basketball championship. BY a score
OF 20 to 16 the Aggies defeated the
crippled varsity tonight after the hard
est game of the season. Neither team
now has a title to the state Champion
ship. A deciding game must be played
before there can be any award.
Without Captain Whistler the varsity
was at q great disadvantage and the
score shows how sadly he was missed.
The team played a splendid game,
though, fighting against odds and in
the presence of a hostile crowd. Not
until the final whistle blew was the
Aggles victory a certainty. The var
slty fought hard through the entire
game.
Lott, playing in place of Fluhr.
whose professionalism was proved by
the varsity, starred for the Aggies.

glory, though.

There is one element that may dam
age the team. The worlds series en-
gendered i'll feeling among some of the
players, and there were. even before

these With a firm hand.
Evidently Stahl intends to stand pat
on his club, except to get reinforce

means that a place is open. Also the
refusal of Duffy Lewis to sign the

a serious problem. Lewis did not do

the Panama canal tolls. bur does NOT favor
arbitration by the The Hague Jribund
This fact became known upon The
presidents return To Wa ,hlhgton to New

matter of a tribunal much thought, the.
president would probably prefer special
board ui arbitration composed of equal
number Of citizens of the United States

Such was to be the composition of The
arbtral court he proposed To settle any
vital question arising between nations
when he spoke in behalf of the arbitra-
lion treaties
The president has expressed to his
friends the view that at The Hague all
Europe would be against this nation and
that the moral pressure on the court
would be enormous because all Europe
isinterested in Panama tolls Just rs much
as is England
In court on which only Great Britain

Forest Reserve to Include Part
of this County.

AT recent meeting Of the Appalachian
Forest Reserve Commission. it was de-
cided to ask Congress for S25o for
preliminary survey of the reserve in
Maryland. This reserve, as now planned,
will include most of the territory in
Maryland, between the Potomac and
the Patapsco Rivers. THIS would take
in most Of Montgomery. Prince George 5,
Howard and Anne Arundel counties.
and portion of Frederick county
Senator John Walter Smith, of Mary
land, is a member of the commission and
announced that after conference with
the members, he has decided TO ask
Congress for authority TO expend SIS
900 a year, which is now allowed to the
commission for contingent expenses, for
a survey of the area between Washing
ton and Baltimore.
This survey is to serve as a basis for
action by Congress looking to the crea-
ton in MARYLAND of a great reserve,
forest experimental station and a ma
tional park.
Senator Smith is the father Of plan
to create such a reserve in Maryland
and next door to the National Capital.
He is also the author Of the till appro-
priating $500. 600 Immediately and $500,
600 each year until the reserve Is firmly
established andthe park is properly i'm
proved.
