this afternoon Joe Tinker has his
ball bunch home to open the first real
Fed season against Kansas City. The
trip just finished was disastrous, two
games being won and five lost.
The Fed gang also is suffering from
lack of practice, and will be put
through hard siege of morning
work to sharpen batting eyes and
perfect teamwork.
Tinker seems to have the nucleus |
of real ball team. The infield is
hot aggregation, and the outfelders
can be depended on for their share !
of the hitting. The catching is as good |
as could be desired, and the pitching |
is composed of the right proportion of |
youngsters and veterans. 1t is team |
that will improve, and will grow bet |

Some of the most highly touted !
batteTs have done nothing to date. |
Rollie Zeider and Fred Beck have |
been way off in their sticking, and
many runs have been lost through |
their inability to connect with the |
ball at timely intervals.
Beck, who is batting in the clean
up position, has not lived up to ex-
pectations. If the former National |
Lacquer doesn't start hitting in a few
days either Kading or Jackson may
replace him. The latter is a swell |

GOOD NEWS FROM WASHINGTON

New York, Jan. 19.-Good news IS
having its effect upon the stock mar

from Washington, President Wilson
having evidently determined that it IS
time to redeem his pledge for build
ing up business" on constructive lines.
The president, having gotte. rid of
the tariff and currency problems, is
now taking hold of the trust question
in earnest, and he evidently believes
that its true solution does net lie in
destructive methods.
That the Sherman law will be re-
tanned as protection, against monopoly
is beyond question. That the supreme
court of the United States has read
reason into the law is well llIown BY
those willing to understand. That III
the past it has been frequently enforc
ed with undue severity is self evident
That it positively nceds clearer defini-
tion is the opinion II many unpreiu
diced authorities, and that it should
be enforced in a friendly and not in
an antagonistic spirit appears to b;
the conclusion arrived at by President
Wilson and his associates.
The president is expected to MAKE
an important announcement 81 his po.
icy this week; AMI it is understoo
that bills embodying his ideas will be
presented for legislation as rapidly
as may seem prudent. The idea that
this legislation shall include govern
ment bureau Of information which
shall include government rureau OF
information which shall aid manufac
turars in interpreting the Sherman
law is well received in BUSH ess cir
