LATEST SPORTING UT GENERAL
 INTEREST

NEW YORK, March 3O-The man. ufactureres of baseball supplies are laughing at a report which gained circulation at the outbreak of the European war to the effect that the national sport will be seriously handicapped next season owing to the insufficient of baseballs for major and minor league use. According to the report the hide of the Siberian pony was the only leather suitable for baseball covers and since the war had shut off the supply of skins the worlds series might have to be played with defective balls next October, if it was played at all. Investigation has proved that plain American horsehide is the only skin used for covering baseballs, and the usual supply is in sight.
 Followers of international sports have not a very lively year in antici- patton. Sa far the following import ant events have been called off: The Henley regatta, the Davis tennis com petition, the British national golf championship, all important racing fixtures in Europe, the international yacht race and probably the interna- tional polo tournament. About the only international events to be expect ed even remotely will be between the United States and Canada, ex- cept a few cases of isolated individ- uals.
 Callahan, of the Portland club Is left-hander with a spit ball and knuckle ball Now if he only catch es measles and smallpox he'll have almost everything.
 Martin Delaney advises the athletes to change diet in the spring. We notice that some of the prelim boxers are changing from snowballs to dande- lions.
 Pitcher Joe Engel the other day eel ebrated his twenty-second anniversary All he got from the Washington play CTS were a few kind words. Clyde Milan also has a birthady this month. He celebrated yesterday.
 The English will continue racing in spite of the war. Some of those fel- lows are so patriotic that they would go to the front if they were permitted to make a book on the results of bat ties.
 Strangely enough the Gilmore fam fly has figured prominently in the athletic life of Packy Mcfarland. Henry Gilmore, ST, was instrumental in starting the clever brewer on his way to fame and fortune, and Harry Gilmore, Jr., managed the business affairs of Packy. Now, after an in- terval of years separating the business dealings between Mcfarland and liar ry, and the challenges of the younger Gilmore, Fred stands ready to box the man who was started out by his father.
 Manager Blankenship of the Salt Lake City team has received word that pitcher Earl Yingling, formerly with the Brooklyn Nationals, would not report to the San Jose training camp of the Mormons, as his wife refuses to leave her sick mother in Ohio, and he does not want to go out to the coast alone. Yingling stated that he desired to report but under the circumstances he would place do- mestic happiness ahead of his base ball career.

LILLIAN RUSSELL AS MAYOR
 N. '.

NEW YORK, March 3O-Her Honor. the Mayor, Miss Lillian Russel! Who knows hut that we'll have the chance to vote for her? Ct seems quite obvious and unnecessary to say that we will vote for her, if the chance is ours) Who knows but City Hall will burgeon with blue ribbons and | blossom like a rose-aD American Beauty rose? Who knows but New York will actually possess The Most Beautiful Woman Mayor. who nos? Yes. I thought so, the ayes have it.
 Miss Lillian Russell announces her self a candidate for mayor when women get the vote. Har-rippllng had 1t thus yesterday.
 Didn't say that the women's place was in the home. said Miss Russell, but she intimated that her ambitions were not political.
 q have never looked forward to holding political office" she depre. cated. "I wouldn't think of setting myself up as a candidate for mayor. feel like my mother in 1888, who was asked by a reporter if she would not run for mayor of New York. Who will nominate me, she laughed.
 :" I will nominate you, cried the reporter. And he did, and she really ran,' admitted Miss Russel
 Just suppose you were mayor of New York, what would you do?"
 The red lips pursed in sudden thought, and when their owner spoke again it was quite seriously.
 "I would do everything in my power to make it impossible for any child in the City of New York to work be. fore reaching the age of fifteen. That was one of the reforms advocated by my mother thirty years ago. I would follow up and emphasize the splendid campaign for school lunches for poor children, until there wasn't a single hungry child in any school in the city
 q would go further than that. I would have the city do as they do in California, where the women already vote. Every school child gets medical dental and optical treatment abso- lutely free. Thus, no matter how poor or careless the parents may be, the child is not allowed to overstrain it's eyes or suffer with toothache. or develop tuberculosis"
 of you were mayor what would you do for owmen asked.
 "Pd keep on with Mayor MitcheI's splendid attempt to teach women how to buy cheap, nourishing food, and to provide markets where it can be bought" she replied promptly. My mother said there ought to be free markets all over the city where poor women might purchase good food at cost. Of course they should be shown how to select good, wholesome food and how to prepare it most tastefully and economically"
 "lf l were mayor I would do my best to give the city a businesslike admin istration. AS a business woman my self know what that means. The chief reason why I want to vote is because I pay three kinds of taxes- on my property, my income and my buslness-and I think I ought to have something to say about what is done with that money"

the bees.
Now, let us face some cold
facts. We are very proud OF
our navy, but we ought to real
ize that aside from a few subma-
rines, we have no effective navy
whatever. That monster bat
tleship, the Arizona, the greatest
of all dreadnaughts which was
launched few days ago, was
absolute before it reached the
water. 1t has cost million, but
its true value is it's market val
ue as junk. rI1istory" proves
it.
At the beginning of the Euro
pena war, we had reasons to eX-
pect some grgeat naval battles.
Nothing of the kind has hap
pened. The German navy
which is far superior to ours, is
bottled up in the North Sea and
will probably stay there. Great
Brittain's navy, the largest in
the world, keeps away from the
war zone and large part of the
ships that have attempted to
take an active part have been
sent to the bottom of the sea.
The Germans have taught us
that the submarine is the navy
of today.
By the way. let us see what
the condition of the navy really
is in the light of recent investi-

China is many times greater
in population and wealth than
Japan and yet she must bend
the knee to the Island Kingdom.
Why? Simply because Japan is
prepared for war and China is
not. How much are we really
better off than China?
The writer seems to think the
Atlantic is our great defense
which is true. We realize the
difficulty of conducting a war
far from the base of operation,
and yet history records more
successes than failures. In 1898
Admiral Dewey was sent 10000
miles against foe who was pre-
pared for him and he succeeded
without the loss of a single man.
Later on a force was sent
against Aguinaldo and his cut
throat crew and again with sue
cess. This same thing is hap

dayday and the papers tells us
that the Allies are gaining. A
foreign invasion is easier under
modern conditions than ever be-
fore.
