wood Defy Chilly Winds and
Low Mercury,

The bathing season is open. Miss
Margaret Lucke and Herman Billet
and Captain c. r. Walthour have
taken the plunge that starts things
going at Lakewood.

spring season. The weather man fell
down hard on his contract to open
spring Sunday. but the water-loving
trio, ,who with their families have
been living in tents at Lakewood
during the winter braved the wealth
er and went in bathing, even though
the mercury was down in the base
ment of the thermometer, the cold
winds whistled shrilly about them
and little patches of snow could be
seen clinging to the rocks and the
trees
They made considerable ceremony
out of the business of thus opening
Lakewood to the hardy souls who are
willing to take chance. Billet and
Captain Walthour tried it first, early
IN the inorHlHBs wearing d a ui9 p"Nh
Ing suit and a set Of chattering teeth
and a grim smile. Miss Lucke saw
them splashing vigorously about, and
donned her own bathing suit and
dlved into the lake.
They said it wasn't bit cold. A
bit chilly, perhaps; invigoratlng and
all that. but not cold, Never!
ITS f-f-f-lne" said Miss Lucke,
sticking her head up out of the water
and holding her chin firmly with one
hand so she could talk. ITS not
h-b-bit c-c-c-old. C-c-c-ome on in.

BILLY MURRAY HAS
CONFIDENCE IN SELF
California Promoter Expects to
See Native Son Champion
Before Very Long.

When tiny John Marques. = Portu-
Euese boy, was romping around the
little California town Of petaluma, the
old citizens OF that famous egg center
never dreamed that this same dark
skinned lad would one day be fighting
his way to fame and fortune under
the name OF Billy Murray.
They call him the "ketchel of 1914"
In his first big fight OF twenty rounds
Murray startled the flstic world by
stopping tough Leo Houck In fifteen
rounds Houck was considered hard
man for even the topnotchers TO beat,
and when the swarthy Californian
ended his championship aspirations
they began TO look around for man
who would give Billy real fight.
Southern California had settled on
Jimmy Ciabby as the worlds best 15S-
FOUNDER, and he vas aligned to meet
the bristling Portuguese. II looked like
they were rushing the new phcnOm to
slaughter because C1abS?. past mas

seemed like a sure winner over Billy.
They fought, and the bout went the
limit, Referee Jim Griffin declaring It

through with colors flying. Man. ex-

WheI the compromise comes be-

This may appear like a pipe dream
20 those who have not thoroughly and

Gated situation, but that it will be the
outcome of the present tangle is the
opinion of many magnates who are
Vitally interested in the present war,

such a plan has been thought of and
deeply considered to meet the possible

do not think it will be a good thing
for baseball by any means, nor do
think it will be a scheme of perman-
ency, still il would afford a quick way
out of the difficulty and prevent the
proba bility of promiscuous jumping of
players and consequent chaos, the with
draWal OF capital, the death of base

1t will he remembered that Just as
drastic methods were found necessary
for the preservation of the game right
after the Brotherhood players League)
war. when one league of twelve clubs
was formed so as to take care of the
surplus on players that was left over
when the Players League gave up the
ghost: the four clubs not taken into
the new organizations being paid to re-
tire.
Now. two leagues Of eight clubs each,
although sectionalized into Eastern and
Western divisions. are much easier
handled than a top-heavy league Of
twelve, that always had too many tail
enders to be successful.
A model Eastern circuit would be
Boston. New York, Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia. Baltimore. Washington. Rich
mond. Pittsburgh.
This would be very compact cir
cult with cities of big population,
and without doubt a paying league
Travelling expenses would be so light
that the clubs could rotate often in
every city.
For the West. tha following cities
would make A strong bid for financial
success:
Cleveland, Detroit. chicago, Cinoin-

kee, Kansas City.
The question will arise what with
only one club in each city a broad
field would be left open for an outlaw
organization to break in, but that can
be obviated by class "A league clubs
