John L. Sullivan Boosts Moran
Richie on, Way to Coast.

Frank Moran, the white heavy
weight who is billed to fight Jack
Johnson in Paris for the worlds title,
is practically an unknown as mitt
Singer of prominence, but he need
make way for no one as press agent
or financier. The Pittsburgher has
leaped into a chance for big purse
right off the reel.
John L. Sullivan, who is in Chi
cago, thinks Moran has a chance of
winning the crown. He bases his pre-
diction on Moran's ability as a rough
and ready fighter. He says that if
Moran attempts to box at long range
he will be trounced in a few rounds
His best chance to win is to wade in
and trade punch for punch.
johnson, in turning down fight
proposed for him by the Newspaper
Sporting Club of London with Lang
ford, says 'the only thing l can get
out of the fight is money, because
there will be no glory in defeating
Langford."
If some statistical soul will rise and
point out where Jack ever fought for
anything else but money startled
world will move again on it's natural
way.
Willie Richie, who passed through
town on his way to the coast for his
battle with Harlem Tommy Murphy
April II, had words of good cheer for
Charlie White, the local lightweight
The champion has promised Char
lie a fight as soon as he disposes of
Murphy. In the meantime he advises
White to go out and try tilt with
Gross or Dundee to make the propos-
ed bout a good drawing card. Whites
injured hand is mending rapidly and
he will be in shape for hard fight !
in a short time. Dundee and White
are ideally matched as to weight.

Cub InfieId Due for Another Shift
Corriden a Hero.

Red Corriden's work at short yes
terday for the Cubs against Louis
vile caused Hank O'Day to scratch
his head in perplexity over the COM
plexion of the 1914 West Side infeld.
Whether said complexion shall have
dash of auburn is the question puz-
zling Hank. .....
The Cubs won, S to o, and much of
the offensive strength was contrib
uted by the sorrel gent with the in
tensive voice.
Leach was afraid to trust his age
ing legs in the soft going, so Zim was
shifted back to third and Corriden
went to the short station. And the
inf1eld, with Safer on first and
Sweeney at second, looked like
money winning combination.
Several conditions have arisen
which may cause Hank to again re-
construct his inner wall, already re-
vamped twice this spring. thinner
man has not shown himself world
beaten at short, though he would UNI
doubtedly improve as he grew more
familiar with the new surroundings.
Leach is doing fair job at third,
though he does not cover so much
ground as Zim, nor throw as well to
first.
And the outfieId also enters into
the question. Wilbur Good is a
doubtful starter. He has made. a
good record during the spring games,
but the memory sticks of his efforts
in the past to make good with major
league teams. Good was never con-
sidered quite up to the mark of a
leading teams outfeld. He can run,
hit some and field acceptably, but
does not combine the three well
enough to put him in the front rank.
All of which may result in another
shake-up. O'Day really does not need

Germans to gain the advantage in the
east as well as in the west. and ev-
erywhere TO force the fighting to the
opponents territories.
The superior efficiency of the Ger
man system is still more clearly shown
by comparing population and resour-
ces Of the cOntending countries. In
Europe alone the Germanic empires
have a total population of 116,5OO, 900
while that Of the five allied nations is
$4,000. 600. practically twice as large.
The true relative resources are more
nearly shown by the total world pop
ulation of the various states. On this
basis the 1872 Germans are contending
against $4,000 600 allies. After 90
days of war the Germans are still
spared the ravages and the burdens
consequently on a hostile invasion.
They are free to devote all of their
resources to the maintenance Of their
offensive campaign. The overrunning
of the north of France and OF all Bel
gium has gained for them the sup
plies and other resources OF these
districts and has inflicted a CORES
pOnding loss upon the allies In the
eastern campaign the occupation of
western Poland has gained for the
Germans a like advantage and has
offset the reverses of their Austrian
confederates in Galicia.

There is every evidence that the

One result OF the European wal
which while not expected It at tn,
same time surprising TO those whC
have given the subpet no thought. ha.
been the great increase in study. The
young men OF this country probably
do not realize what opportunities they
posses for increasing their power
through knowledge. Yet the increase
in the number of those who are rails
ing their status in the business world
is indeed a challenge to the indiffer-
ent.

experience is every day proving that
systematic. intelligent study win go

OF the rut And keeping out OF that
easy place is the first step toward at
tanning a position OF responsibility in
the financial and business world.

other hand I am firmly convinced
there are many clerks with natural
abilities as great as those Of their
employers who will never get out OF
the rut simply because they will new

GERMANYs ACHIEVEMENTS.

Our news comes so largely from

KAISER'S DEPORTMENT EDICT
Officers Must Not Take Arms o.
Women Companions in Public.

| BERLIN, Feb. 4.--The emperor has
issued cabinet order in regard to the
conduct of army officers when appear
| ing in public with their wives. He
has decreed that they are henceforth
to abandon the custom of taking the
arms of their wives or other women
when walking with them. If there is
to be any grasping of arms the
women must do it, or else allow their
military escorts to walk with their
arms free.
The order, it is understood, is in
spired by the kaiser's belief that the
spectacle of an officer leaning for
support on the arm of woman COM
panion is not conducive to manly
bearing.
1t is quite common in Germany for
man to take woman's arm, and, as
the manners of the army are the
model for etiquette in general civil
ians will doubtless eventually be af-
fected by the imperial decree.

LONDON, Feb. A great mas!
meeting will tonight open the politica
campaign of the National Union O.
Womens Suffrage societies. This or.
ganization, working only along consti-
tutional lines, is making "a united and
constitutional demand from all classes
throughout the country for a govern
ment measure for women's suffrage"
In a review of the work of the past
year it is pointed out that increased
pressure has been directed upon the
government in constituencies repre-
scented by anti-suffragist ministers and
upon strengthening the position of the
labor party, the only party in the
house of commons which has made the
women's cause an integral part of its
policy.
