morrow with StovalI's club as con-
tenders. Doc Watson is slated to
pitch for the locals.
Jimmy Lavender was lucky to
score a win over the Reds yesterday.
He passed eleven men, and not sim
gle one of the tickets registered in. the
scoring. The only Red run was the
result of two hits and an error by
Good.
The erratic work of Lavender
brought into bold relief the greatness
of Jimmy Archer With an ordinary
catcher taking his slants Lavender
would have lasted an inning and
half, maybe less. AS fast as James
Sanford franked them to first and
forced them on to second, Archer
pinched them off the base. Four of
Herzog's gang fell victims to his I'M
erring aim. Without this assistance
the affair would have been rout.
Once more it was brought home
that the Cubs, touted as heavy bat
tiers, are hitting softly. They man
aged to bingle four times off of Phil
Douglas, former Sox recruit. Fortu-
nately these blows were punched, two
to an inning, and each assault re-
suited in run. Lavender and Good
compiled doubles for the first tally,
and Jim's single, followed by Jimmy
,Johnston's double, hung up the sec
ond marker.
Zim continued to make good in the
fielding at short. He had nine chances
to distinguish himself defensively,
and each time came through with the
play perfectly. In spite of allegations
of bone, Tim is playing nearer his
true form than any other member of
the team. Safer is not batting, and
neither is Tommy Leach. Sweeney
finds it difficult to get going, and
Frank Schultz is not demonstrating
his right to the title. of home-run

to the gentlemanly experts assem-
bled in the press coop to report the
doings, would have plunked into the
left field bleachers at the Sox park.
That gives an idea of his length, and
just remember how seldom you have
seen the ball land in those Sox
bleachers. John Collins was the only
South Slider to accomplish the feat
last year.
There was nothing to the game but
the Chifed batting. In every inning
they registered at least one bingle,
and crashing doubles into the crowd
were frequent.
Claude Hendrix, pitching for the
Thinks, eased his way through the
game, his mates giving him such a
lead in the second round that he did
not find it necessary to exert himself.
In spite of his sangfroid (proper
North Side language), only four hits
were registered, and the only gent
who came near scoring was Easterly,
whose four-bagger gave him circle
trip.
Tinker's team is fine-Iooking ag-
gregation. The fact that they have
won less than half their games is a
great testimonial to the strength of
the other clubs.
The park was in condition to take
care Of the large crowd. Bleachers
were set up in the outfeld, and about
$500 people perched on them and
roared as two-baggers sailed over
their heads. Every seat in the stand
and bleachers was filled. A conserva-
tive estimate of the crowd placed it
at $4,000, just q, 900 more than wit
messed the Cub-Red doings.

Effect Upon the Next House.

Some of the Republicans are already in the seventh
heaven of delight Representative Kahn, of Cafor-
nia predicts that the Republicans will have majority
in the next House.
This is hardly possible With the Democrats hold
ing the present House by majority of nearly 80 it
seems almost incredible that the pendulum will swing
far fall as to this tremendous advan-
age. 1t would take political revolution of char
acter which is not at present indicated Many Re-
pubcans do not want victory for their party. They
would like the Democrats to remain in complete con-
troll of all branches of the administration that there
cannot be any question to full responsibility.
Whether they want it not, this is likely to be the
case.
But no one who observes the trend of things can
doubt that the Republicans will make very substantial
gains fall In the first place, the Progressive
party is not likely to be such disturbing element as
was expected Mr.. Roosevelt may put life into
his organization when he returns to the United States,
but there is doubt that at the present time it is
losing ground. 1t cannot find CLEAN of hope in any
election. In Maine, last fall in the Third Congress
sona district election the Republicans and Progress
i've vote completely reversed compared with
1912 In the gubernatorial campaign in New Jersey
the Progressive vote fell from I47ooo to 10000 In
Maryland only 1000 Progressives voted, against
1900 cast for Roosevelt. In South Dakota the
Progressive clement could not defeat Straght-out
stand-pat Republican in the fight for the Senatorial
nomination. In New Jersey last week the Democratic
and the Socialist candidates for Congress ran about
an even race with the Progressives polling a mere
handful, while in Boston the Republican cand-

This apparent disintegration of the Progressive
party will have important effect upon the political
complexion of the next House, and, coupled with
dissatisfaction with the Democratic admnistra-
ton, gives the Republicans grounds for hope There
are twenty-four districts now represented in the
House by Democrats where change of from $50 to
1000 votes will return Republican. There is not
district in Iowa which would not beirepresented by
Republican if the entire Republican and Progressive
strength should be concentrated upon single cand

THE NEW FREEDOM.
New York sun Takes Gloomy View
of Nations Financial Outlook.

Taking beautifully one-sided view
of affairs, the Treasury Department has
issued a hattering forecast Of Uncle
SANS revenues from customs duties dur
ing the rest of the fiscal year. 1t Is
calculated that receipts will exceed the
estimate made before the passage OF the
revisd tariff law. bcause the last quarter
of the year has been entered upon with
a falling OF of only S2i. $1,000 from the
corresponding income last year. As the
tariff revisers reckoned on a si9.010O
loss Of revenue this year II Is argued
that there is more than enough room in
the current quarter for shrinkaEe with
out absorbing the balance OF loss duly
estimated.
PERHAPS the computation Is correct, al
though il is hard to tell under preseD
trade conditions what the government
toll from importations with aggregate be-
tween now and the end OF June. STILL
allowing for the accuracy Of the Treas
urv's EXPERT mathematicians. it is to be
noticed that their calculations take ac-
count OF nothing but income. How about
expenditure?
For the first nine months OF the year
or up to the end OF last month, there
was a total excess of ordinary eNpendi-
tuTe over total income amounting to SI.-
80 coz. As this compared with a bal
ance OF income over expenditure amount
ing TO Slls5l. .OS3 in the corresponding period
a year ago. Uncle Sam was SS.2l.s SO
worse Off on current account at the be-
ginning OF the present month than he was
on April l. 1913 The immediate indics-
tions are. Judging from the tendency OF
revenues TO decrease. that the old gentle
man will continue TO go deeper in the
hole as the year advances These lndica-
tions are emphasized when allowance is
made for the prospective appropriations
OF Congress pledged to economy but
manifesting the most Convicing signs OF
an eNtravagant disposition.
The new freedom has to be financed

Senator Lodges Speech.

II is impossible to overestnate the influence of an
utterance upon such lofty plane as this. The op-
ponents of the repeal will lay all the possible stress of
free quotation and black type upon the Senator's as
serton of his belief that the HayPauncefote treaty
is not violated by the exemption act but they cannot
hide from the people the real burden OF his splendid
speech which is that the hands of the President of
the United States must be held up by all patriotic
citizens and lawmakers; that the talk about Sub
servence to Great Britain" is twaddle, implying on
the part of those who indulge in it fears to the
greatness of their own country "as to which l. for
one am troubled by no doubts" and that the noble
work of building the canal must mot be dsfgured
by desire to put money into the pockets Of few

Maple Sugar for Tobacco.

Word comes from the center of the trade in
Northern New York that the American tobacco trust
proposes buy up this years crop of maple syrup
that territory to soak up into plug tobacco. These
new customers it appears, afford to pay for the
diversion of this delicious article to this about
about what the consumer has heretofore had to pay
for it in cans offering 90 gallon by the barrel
and furnishing the barrel
Like enough these tobacco people will invade Yer
mont and our sap-boilers will find new market for
their product at highly remunerative price This in
turn will be likely to raise the price to retail pur-
chasers and thus add to the cost of high living So
