c. j. WILL FINANCE
CLASS BASE BALL
Athletic Association Decides
to Develop Players in
That Manner.

Base ball at the Catholic University is
getting great boosts this year. The Ath-
letic Association has decided to finance
class teams which arrange q creditable
schedule. This was brought out at a
meeting of the association last week The
reasons for such a step Is that by having
class teams it develops the younger stu
dent ball players and when they reach
the university squad they have had val
liable experience which greatly benefits
the varsity team. Then. also, the class
teams will make a place for the members
of the varsity squad who have felt the
pruning, knife. These men instead OF be-
ing left idle during the season will be de-
veloped by. these class teams and will
be more fitted for the big team the next
year. The sophomore and freshman
classes have taken advantage of the de-
cision already and have set to work MAX
ing up schedule. The freshman team
has already been on the field and is be-
ing managed by Assistant Varsity Man
ager Jack Currin, who has nearly COM
pleted schedule, composed of the
strongest high and prep school teams in
this section
At meeting of the sophomore class

HeavyWeights ON Edge for Ten
Round Scrap in New York
This Evening.

NEW YORK. March 14.-After taking
short road runs yesterday, Bombardier
Wells, tho British heavyweight cham
pfon, and Gunboat Smith of California
rested easy. Both announced that they
were IN perfect condition for their
ten-romd battle in Madison Square Gar
den tonight. The Englishman is a hot
favortte among the followers OF boxing
who like to figure winners in advance,
but the opinion also prevails that Smith
will prove extremely troublesome.
Wells great cleverness and hitting
power were displayed here last summer in
the bouts with AL Palzer and Tom Ken
nedy. Tho Bombardier came within a few
seconds Of stopping Palzer in the first
round. Palzer was forty pounds heavier,
and because OF superior strength and
stamina he weathered the gale and finally
stopped the tired Briton with body blow
in the third round. Wells explained that
the excessive heat and humidity had
slapped his vitality and that he was really
i'll before the scrap. Subsequently he
returned here two months ago and offered
$4,000 to Lsther McCarty for a tens
round bout, which was refused. Manager
Gibson then signed Smith as a substitute
The Californian, who was nickpamed
Gunboat because he served as an able
seaman In Uncle Sans navy, has been

MARKET SUGGESTIONS.

The chief asset of the human race
is brains, and always has been.
Even in the crude existence of the
.cave-dweller, it was superior intelli-
gence rather than physical force that
gave him domination over the earth.
As mankind assembled in the evolu-
tionary struggle. intellect became
more and more essential until today
the measure of a mans success is in
variably determinate of his brain
power.
Traders in the security market. as
a rule, are brainy people. To be
successful they have to possess GER
tain qualities that are found only in
a high order of intellect. Compare
lively few, however, use their ability
to the fullest extent.
Lack of time. indifference to criti-
cal periods in market movements.
want of confidence in their own judg-
ment. and the resultant habit of
hesitating when quick action is re-
CURED, are some of the causes re-
sponsible for contentment with small
profits than investors would other
wise realize from their trading.
The most conspicuous trouble,
however, with many operators is
their failure to take advantage of de-
Ginning prices to average their hold
ings. Inability to always get in at
the bottom neeessitates the use of
this method in order to make the
largest possible gains. If a mar will
use his brains in sizing up a situation
he can frequently see an opportunity
to reduce the average price of his
stocks. with a moral certainty of in
creasing his profits just that much,
later on when the market
Indiscriminate buying on a declin-
ing market is, of course, not adj
visable, but the average trader has
sufficient brain power to discriminate
his decided advantage.

WHAT ABOUT THE
MEXICAN MASSES?

The population of Mexico is a.
5000 and that of the capital city
is 100000. 1t is surprising that so
little is heard from the body of the
people. Ambitious leaders clash
even to the point of street fighting
with artillery. combine today and be-
tray each other tomorrow, and the
millions look on as if dumb and
helpless, though the killed and
wounded in the shifting struggle in
elude many who take no active part
in ii. Two years ago the Mexicans
elected a president, but see him de-
posed by the sheerest violence. while
.'vivas" are raised over a successor
no matter if he is driven out or assas-
sinated within t~wenty-four hours. By
some astonishing force of habit, or
hypnotism. the $4,000, 600 endure
the worst forms of anarehieal civil
war for years, and seem grateful for
a lull in the impromptu bloodshed
and personal treacheries that rapidly
follow each other as in a nightmare.
Mexico is called a self-governing
better than a background for a few
desperate men engaged in endless
eombats for a momentary lease of
power. A score of so-called leaders
and a few thousand armed men take
part in the tumult. The $1,000, 900
do nothing, say nothing, appear to ae-
cept the situation with stolid resig-
nation. No voice of the people is
heard across the border. But ii may
be assumed that some day it will be-
come audible and that the many will
no longer be treated by the few as
absolutely negligible. Those who are
inclined to peaceful government and
industry will, it may be supposed,
wake up eventually and put an end to
the revolutionary braves who pro
claim" themselves with as little cere-
mony as bandits show in their as
saults on social order. A mass meet
ing of the people of Mexico. even in
defense of their own lives. would be
a novelty. The right of peaeeable as
semblage and passage of resolutions
is unknown as a public manifesto
ton. And yet the 100000 are
there.

this.
The "auto-eye" is a spasm of the
ciliary muscles (Which govern accom-
modations for ~distanee;) to this
those who have errors of ~refraction
are specially prone; speeding oyer an
unknown country, through devious
roads. the sight being constantly and
rapidly attracted by objects now

Nerve strain and nerve exhaustion.

young women who motor extensive

be in those not up to par Is to their
nervous systems. The excitement Of
motoring may appeal to such women.
The eyer-increasing stimulation in

later end in prostration. For such
cases entire rest and complete aban-
donmen of motoring are essential.
