BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING


ism among Cub fans in the way Cy
Williams is batting the ball in exhi-
bition games, against both righthand-
ers and sOuthpaWs.
Williams is a solid batter. He puts
the bat against the ball Justify, drives
with all the power of his big shout
ders and long arms, and sends the
pill away on line. That means that
many of his bingles go for extra hits.
When Johnnie EVers was handling
the Cub team Williams was given a
chance to make good. Right off the
reel the tall Notre Dame athlete pro-
ceeded to hit to all corners of the
field, and more than half his safeties
were doubles, triples or homers. Then
the alien pitchers discovered his
weakness, the news travelled from
team to team over the grapevine
route and Williams was forced back
to the bench.
And he remained there, with the
exception of a bit of pinch hitting
now and then, throughout last sea-
son. Bresnahan recognized the
rough aDluCy OF the young OuCnelQer,
and, as soon as he had the opportu-
nifty, went to work to teach him how
to bat.
If Williams can hit .2sO, Or even
.275, he will be a valuable man in the
Cub machine. He can cover an
enormous amount of territory among
the suburbs, and his long legs carry
him around the bases at terrifcspeed.
His manner of playing, his earnest
ness and eageness, have already
made him a fayorite with the fans,
and he will start the season under
suspicious circumstances.
There isn't a man who goes out to
the west side ball games who won't
be pulling for Williams. The young
ster has every incentive to make good
and he will get plenty Of opportunity,
for Bresnahan believes in him, and

ing against Joe ShugrUe last win
ter, when there was a difference of
opinion as to who had won the right
to meet Freddie Welsh. In the Shu-
grue fight White certainly was not
up to the form of which he is capa-
bic.
White figures that a victory over
Cross by a decisive margin will mean
more employment in the east, where
the bulk of the lightweight fighting
is being done nowadays. Big purses
cannot be secured in Milwaukee for
some time. Cross followers are bet
ting to 1 that Leach will not take
the count in ten rounds.
Freddie Welsh danced gracefully
for eight rounds with Patsy Drouil-

kept the Canadian at arms length for
seven rounds, then delivered a few

AIR CRAFT RAIDS.

Air craft raids still continue in con.
nection with the European war, the
Germans being the most active in this
respect. Unlike the submarine the
Zeppelin does not number its ma
chimes by the hundreds, although the
fact remains that since the commence
ment of the war the big German air
craft have killed upwards of "a hun
dred persons in England alone. They
have been still more active in France,
while even remote Russia has not es-
capped visitations of this kind.
Apparently the sole purpose of
these air raids is to frighten and in
timidate the civilian population. The
mortality is not large enough to count
in the war More men are probably
lost in an attack on a 300-yard trench
in France than went to their death
from Zeppelin attacks since the war
started.
But it is well to remember that
even with the terrors of the air, IA
miliarity breeds contempt. Parisans
who ran to cover when the first Ger
man taube lowered over their city.
now watch the ungainly monster
amusedly, and wager on his success in
getting away from the firing soldiers
below, and the hostile craft above.
The war has taught the world many
things, and habituated civilization to
horrors that would have been deemed
year and a half ago.
And the universal hope is that with
the return of peace we shall have a
return of human charity and mercy,
and that the taube and the submarine
shall be forgotten.

CAUSE FOR WORRY.

The announced sale of five of the
largest steamers belonging to the
Pacific Mail Steamship company is a
matter of keen interest to the people
of this country. for the reason that it
confirms the predictions made by the
officers of that company that the new
seaman's law would compel them to
take such action. Nor does the in
terest taken in this question stop
with the action taken by the Pacific
Mail company. IF this concern feels
unable to continue in business under
the requirements of the new law,
which does not go into full effect un-
til next October. is it not likely that
other American companies will meet
the same difficulty in exactly the
same manner. and that the predicted
of ocean and lake trans
portation to foreign companies will
become a fact. greatly to the detri-
ment Of this nation7
No one objects TO just laws for the
protection of American sailors. But
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-08-24

in the present case the statute does
not stop at that point. 1t puts such
onerous duties upon ship owners and
have them under such heavy obliga-
tions that it is virtually commercial
destruction to attempt to maintain a
line of boats under American regis
try. Profitable competition with own
ers operating under foreign registry
is impossible. The sincerity of the
first objection made to the law is now
proved beyong question. The Pacific
Mail company would hardly go out Of
business simply as protest against
the policy from which it suffered.
Nor is the fact that the purchasers
were Americans of any special sig
nificance. Foreign buyers would be
unlikely to act otherwise in such
deal than through private agents in
the United States. The new owners
admit they have no immediate plans,
and that it is even doubtful if the
vessels Will be kept IN the registry OF
this country.
A nation that is discussing earnest
ly the possibilities of extending its
export trade in both hemispheres is
vitally concerned with the possibili-
ties of growth for its merchant ma
rine. 1t is impossible to carry on
serious commercial competition with
countries to which we must look for
ships to deliver our goods. In scut-
tling the American merchant marine
the new plan also aims torpedo at
our hopes Of dominating rich foreign
markets, particularly those of South
America and the far east. And this
is thing that vitally and directly
concerns the American people, both
Individually and as a nation
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-08-24

erous crop yields that have blessed
this country during the present sea
son.
The great part which this country
is playing in feeding both the armies
and the civilian population of bellig-
erent Europe will be better under
stood when it is recalled that the bulk
of our boasted $1,000,000,000 trade
balance comes from the enormously
increased exports of meat and wheat.
Recent figures show that the NUM-
tions of war so far sent abroad are
negligible in value compared with the
food that has been shipped. 1t may
be assumed that the demands made
upon commissary from across the At
lantic will increase in direct ratio to
the length and severity of the war.
The market for the products of
American farms in fact, may be even
better as time progresses. Prices may
be expected to be maintained at a
high level. Even should the allies
succeed in opening the Dardenelles,
it is doubtful if the Russian store
houses thus unlocked would have
lasting effect in keeping down the
cost.
The outlook is indeed a pleasing
one, from the American standpoint,
and it leaves no room for pessimism
or gloom on the part of the people
of this most favored land. Already
it has silenced the croakers and caus-
ed the knockers to quit in disgust,
while far and wide the people are
commencing to chant more cheerful
refrain, one that tells of the peace,
and plenty of this fortu-
nate nation, which seems to have
been singled out for. exceptional bles-
sings, while some of its best friends
and good neighbors are undergoing
the other extreme of trials, tribula-
lions, sorrows and losses.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-08-24
NOTHING TO 1T.

1t is favOrite theory OF some jour.
nalistic writers that certain big bust
ness interests are persistently striv-
ing and conniving to involve this ma
ton in a war with Mexico. This the,
ory has again cropped out in connec.
ton with a recent report of the dis.
covery of an alleged plot for the in
vasion of Texas by armed forces from
Mexico, it being intimated that this
plot was really fomented by Ameri-
can interests which hoped to thereby
force the hand of this government
in its dealings with Mexico. Wheth-
er there was anything to the plot
story itself may well be doubted, for
the Mexicans are having about all
they can comfortably attend to ip
trying to settle their own differences.
But there is still less reason to be-
lieve that American interests are i'm
plicated in such plan, for the sim
| pie reason that American interests in
Mexico would suffer, rather than gain
advantage, should it come to an open
clash between the two countries.
1t of course is true that there is
a vast amount of American capital in
vested in Mexico. This is represented
in holdings of smelters, oil wells,
mines, railroads, ranches and banks.
Would any of these holdings be help
ed by being destroyed or confscated
which would probably be the fate
of everything American in that an
archy-ridden land in the event of
war with the United States? The alb
surdity of the question is its own
answer. 1t is inconceivable that any
body except the makers of munitions
of war could profit by armed conflict
with Mexico. But the makers of mu-
nitions are so busy with orders from
Europe that they can hardly take
care of the work they already have.
This is no time for new demands upon
our army supply factories. They
ought to hold off the Mexican war. if
possible. until the orders from Europe
slack up bit.
As matter of fact. there has been
much loose talk about "the inter
ests" being to blame for all of the
present troubles of Mexico. and it has
been broadly intimated that if out
siders had kept their hands off Mexi-
20 would never have gotten into her
present predicament. Possibly it is
rue that some influences of this kind
we're exerted, but it is simply foolish
% say that this was the real cause
,f the Mexican trouble. or that the
tame interests are now trying to force
! war between Mexico and the Uni
ed States. ;

WHY UNCLE SAM SMILES.

Uncle Sam is going to have a big
surplus of grain and other farm pro-
duets this year, but it is not worrying
him to know what to do with this sur
plus. He knows that it will be need
ed by other nations, particularly by
the nations now engaged in war. and
he also knows they will eagerly take
all this country has to spare, and at
prices that will be highly remunera-
tive to the farmers of this land. The
prospect of bumper crops of all kinds,
therefore, is very cheering and graft
flying to Uncle Samuel, who realizes
that it will mean not only abundance
and prosperity for his own citizens.
but will enable him to send foodstuffs
abroad in prodigious quantities, to
lands where the people might suffer
were it not for the wonderfully gen.

ONE WAY TO SEE 1T.

There is high authority for doubt
ing whether anyone can cool himself
in midsummer by thinking on the
frosty Caucasus; so why not take il
the other way around and figure to
yourself what the season S heat is
doing? asks Golfers. Suppose we
could bring clearly before our eyes
even a few of the most obvious works
of the sun. Try it some day when a
reciprocity of sickness has been el-
tablished between you and your i'm
mediate corporeal surroundings ii. e..
clothes and chair. The apples are
turning golden on the hills of Abe
marie and glorious crimson on ihe
fiat floor of the Wenatchee valley
the wheat is yellow for solid miles
across the Red river country and over
the rugged slopes of the Palouse; !;
cotton is cleaning white against the
vivid soil of Georgia. and you could
hear the corn cracking out its hun
dred-bushel song if you could listen
in the teeming hush of the star-filled
nights of Kansas. Fresno's grapes
are dragging down the vines. and they
will be busy soon in the endless vine
yards that fringe Lake Erie. The
humble prune is swelling out into
purple pride in the orchards OF Ore
gon lest nurseries, boarding houses,
and logging camps should have to
close next winter. They are cutting
their fourth Tor fourteenth7) crop of
alfalfa on the reclaimed lands of the
Salton sea; Colorado's subsoil has
turned to a dense mass of potatoes,
and Texas is garnering its third mess
of this years garden truck. In fact
the whole United States is spouting
into plenty, like a seed catalogue s |
dream of heaven. and YOU should
stick to your chair in dumb thankful
ness that such things can be. If YOU
don't like it. kindly pass the iced tea.

An Old System Revived.

To day in many of the farm jour
mails you will see in the classified ad
vertisements, announcements reading
as follows: Wanted, to hear from
the owner of good farm or ranch fol-
sale"
The answer to one of these adver.
tisements will bring a very interest
ing mass of literature and request
that you give the advertiser anywhere
from S. to $3.50 for the privilege of
having your farm listed with him, he
undertaking to thoroughly advertise
your property to a very desirable
list of prospective purchasers and to
give you the benefit of his unusual
ability in the disposal of farms.
In some instances this is the only
fee charged; others charge commits
sion in addition on the amount secur-
ed if sale is consummated. Some
have gone so far as to charge a with
drawal fee amounting to l per cent
of your valuation of the property, if
you should wish to withdraw your
property from sale. In ease the re-
quested listing fee is not forwarded
Immediately, an offer very often will
follow ito accept half the fee first ask
ed for.
We do not believe any of these so
called agencies offer the owners of
property for sale a service of any
value whatever: their interest in the
property ceasing with the payment
of the listing fee. and we wish to ad-
wise our readers to use great caution
in making any agreements with such
coneerns.-0regon Farmer.

The republican argument against
free trade is well given by Represen-
tative Humphrey of Washington, who
said: "Under free trade you stop
production. You stop the demand.
You throw men out of employment
and stop the payment of wages. You
paralyze the entire industrial system
of the country, and under a demo-
cratic administration you can neither
buy at home nor abroad. Cheap goods
are of no value to the idle without
money!
