NATIONALS HAVE
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
sEsS THE GooDs-TEAM HET-
TER THAN LAST SEASON.

]. Ed. Grille, who is enduring the
sspring training season with the Ma
tiona1s at Charlottesville, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the team and
its prospects:
While no young pitcher has yet been
allowed to let out his arm and display
his assortment OF deceptive deliveries
as whole the corps has shown
enough 10 warrant the prediction that
Griffith will not be short OF pitching
material this summer. There are three
or four of the youngsters who are
sure to make good. and they will prove
this before the season opens.
Walter Johnson is certain to have
some competent helpmates, and the I'M
preston is prevalent among the play
efs that Boehling will show even bet
ter this year than he did last. There
seems to be absolutely no doubt about
Jack Bentley being able to hold his
own. Doc. Ayres IS another one of
the twiriers, who has only to do as
well with the Nationals as he did with
Richmond to prove his worth. Then.
there is Shaw. who in the opinion of
the best Judges, has the making of
a star. not to speak of Williams and
Musser. who. If they display proper
control, can also be relied upon.
Just as soon as the field is hard
enough TO allow bunting, all the pitch
ers will be given an hour or more
every day fielding bunts, This sort OF
work is the most beneficial a twirler
can do. for 1t not only teaches them
the art of fielding their position. bat
lit strengthens the back and makes them
agile in their position. Altroek, who
was one of the greatest fielding pitchers
the game has Ever developed, will
have charge of the squad in this work
and the youngsters ought to develop
rapidly under his tutorship. II was
this sort of practice which made Wal
ter Johnson a great fielder of his po-
sition.
There are many regsons for be-
lieying that the Nationals as q whole
will be stronger than last year Foster,
for instance should have good sea-
son. He has entirely recovered from
the attack of typhoid which kept him
out of the game for months last sea-
son. and his presence. In condition, will
make great difference. Then, there
Is Dan Moeller He played sterling
article Of ball last season, but fell off
I'm hitting. He is apt to come back
with the stick. Last. hut not least of
the outfielders, is Shanks. Injuries in
terfered with him In the last cam
paign. but he is sound again and sure
to show marked Improvement in his
hitting. Clyde Milan did not have a
good year IN 1919. He did not hit up
to his usual standard until the sea-
son was nearly over. and better things
are expected of him.
In all. the teams prospects look par
ttcularly bright, and II the good
weather continues the fans are apt to
sec fast team in action long before

have played two games with each

BY all three of these methods. the show

method of comparing all college games

games and won eight making a per-
centage of .562; Elon played fifteen and
won nine, making percentage OF 900.
Within the State with North Carolina
colleges, Wake Forest played eleven
and won seven, making a percentage of

the same number, her percentage being

includes two games with each of the

I any in the State. and agreeing with the
! Elon sympathizers that Wake Forest
/ has the next strongest team. These col
Ileges are Trinity, Guilford aad A. and
NJ. Carolina has not been consulted on
the matter, but since Elon defeated her
on her own floor. it is likely that she
| too would vote that way. 1t must also
be remembered thst Elon played her
| two games with Carolina, while that
| team had its main strength of full
varsity men. and before Tandy and
Edwards were ruled off by the Univer-
sity faculty. Wake Forest played with
Carolina after her quint was mate

third game with Carolina ought not
to figure in the State championship,
unless a third game was granted each
of the claimants.
Basketball enthusiasm Is running
high because OF the fine record the
Eion quint has made this year. and
the supporters of the game are willing
to put the big five here against a.
similar number from any institution
with sure confidence of victory The
growth OF the team here in two years
has been phenomenal and the highest
point of efficiency has net yet beer
reached. The Eion gymnasium flpor is

TO save Mexico. The
The Fruit of. great trouble with
DeSpotism. Mexico is that Diaz
was in power too long.
1t was the Diaz policies enforced for
many years that produced the whirl-
wind of revolt now underway.
Porfirio Diaz, who was for thirty
three years the nominal president and
the actual dictator Of Mexico, believed
that his country needed a benevolent
despot to rule it, says current writ
er on Mexico. Diaz acted in accord
ance with his belief. He clung to the
policy of suppression. He allowed
little freedom of public discussion and
little education was disseminated am
ong the masses of the people. The
aristocracy assisted Diaz to rule for
the benefit of the aristocracy.
The rule of Diaz was praised with
out stint by representatives of power
full interests, on the ground that 1t
preserved order in a country that
otherwise would have been given over
to turbulence. 1t did preserve order
of a certain kind, but 1t was order
resulting from force ruthlessly ap-
piled. Promoters who brought out
side capital into the country profited
by this sort of government because
OF it's corruption and favoritism. Con-
cessions which involved exploitation Of
the people of Mexico and Of the coun-
try's natural resources were to be had
from the Diaz regime in exchange for
tribute
1t was inevitable that the kind Of
rule that Diaz established could not

realize this. Diaz grew old, but the
"cientificos'' went on ruling In his
name. Beneficiaries of the system
thought it would continue Indefinite
ly. They have learned that they were
previously mistaken. Mexico and the
United States, as well as thousands Of
well meaning investors of this and
other countries, are now paying a
heavy price for the years Of absolutism
under Diaz--years of peace that still
left the people poor. demoralized, un-
skilled in government and generally
unfit to discharge the duties Of citi-
zenship.
The rule OF absolutism does not pay.
Every country that has its Diaz, every
country where mental stagnation am

as a desirable form of peace, may
sooner or later pay heavy price in
disorder for its years OF sinister quiet.
