government; but it isn't and we all
know it; and when we harp on that
lovely democratic theory we are not
even fooling ourselves.
If l hate anything l hate war, but
I don't want to see people murdered
in cold blood with not even a fighting
chance. And even if a government
that murders men, women and chill
dren in cold blood is THEIR govern
ment, don't believe they ought to
love that government well enough to
stand up and let it murder them.
And when men, women and chill

they were at Ludlow, Pm not going
to blame it on them on any fool the
DRY that they murdered themselves
because it was THEIR government
that murdered them.

Cubs Show Less Bone Work Than
Sox and Take First Game.

Because they exhibited a slightly
smaller amount Of bone, and also due
to steadier work at critical moments,
Cubs of the National League won the
first game from White Sox of the
American and got the Jump Of the
eighth city series between the two
teams for the so-called championship
of the city.
And Inc Cubs also put on some
battery work that was a treat, en-
phasized because it was unexpected.
Vaughn and Bresnahan worked to-
gether in perfect harmony, the big
southpaw having the mechanical
ability to lay nearly every pitch
where the willy veteran backstop
signed for it. ~.
o'Day exhibited excellent strategy
by starting this star battery. He
wanted that first game for the moral
effect on his men. If Vaughn and
had been beaten there
would have been little hope ahead for

Holding Northwestern's attack
cheaply, Coach Stage Of the Maroons
is concentrating all the energy of his
gridiron candidates toward perfect
ing a faster offense to sweep the
Purple off its feet.
In the Indiana game the Chicago
mentor was satisfied with the way
his line and secondary defense re-
pulsed the onslaughts Of the visiting
backs. But he detected a few weak
spots in the attack on his own team.
Russell and Gray shone at carrying
the ball, but Stage is trying for
greater cooperation.
Search for a punter is also caus-
ing the coach some anxious mo-
ments. Pete Russell is doing the
greater portion of the punting in
practice, but his work is still below
the standard necessary for a Confer
ence star.
Des Jardien has the most able toe,
but the giant center will not be pulled
back from his position in the line ex-
cept at critical moments.
Mt. Union held Michigan to a 27-
tot score yesterday and brought out !
some glazing faults in the Wolverine |
