VIII undoubtedly SLdIL the NduOual
league season in the middle outpost
territory.
Williams has been knocking at the
door, but never gained admittance
because of some roughness in his
work. For one thing, he couldn't hit
southpaw pitching, and he failed to
get the full benefit out Of his extern
sion ladder legs when on the bases
because he did not know how to time
his thefts.
Bresnahan has given considerable
attention to Cy and will continue to
work on him through the condition
ing period, and after the season
opens, if it is necessary. The long
fellow is young and good for several
years of big league endeaVOr if he
can meet the pace.
A strenuous week opens for the
Cubs today. One game is scheduled
with the Cubans in Tampa today, an
other with the PhiIies tomorrow, and
then the tea mwiH hike to Jackson
vile for a three-game series with the
Mackmen, who have already been
trimmed thrice by the Bresnahans.
In this series of five games the
pitchers will get a chance to per-
form, Cheney, Lavender and Vaughn
being certain to see some service
against the Athletics. Robbins,
Buckles, Adams and Standridge VIII
also have an opportunity to show
their goods.
Because of ironcIad contracts held
by seven Of last years pitchers, there
is only room for one HEAVIER on the
Cub roll at present under the twenty
one player limit rule. But it is a Ger
tainty that if two or three of the
youngsters show more promise than
the VesteTans Bresnahan viii lop off
the oIdsters, send them to the minors
and pay the difference in salary. He
is after efficiency, and is willing to
nav for it.

QUinIan batted .290 on the coast
last season and was fast on the bases.
So far on the exhibition trip there
has been some excellent batting
done by the SOx men, but, as in past
seasons, lit has not been punched to
get the best results. ChappeIPs bat
ting has been woefuIly weak and he
lacks the speed for a top batter.
Frank Chance, who has seen the
Sox play several games on the coast,
delivered the opinion that Brief and
Felch will make good, but that ex-

lar place.

Justify since coming to the first team

basepositiOn, as he knows more base
ball than any of the candidates who
have appeared so far. In the event
that Russell is retained merely as
utility man Breton has the inside
chance, as Bromwich and Baker do
not stack up in fielding.
Los Angeles was licked yesterday,
8 to 1, all Sox runs coming in last

Scott. Scott pitched the full game
and was strong at the tight periods.
Weaver was operated on for ton

functions more brilliant than those
which will be held in the White House
after the return of the president and
his bride from their honeymoon. She
is a gracious and brilliant entertainer,
although she has taken little part in
social activities during the past eight
years. OF course there will be trouble
in arranging the diplomatic dinners be-
cause of the European war, but the
presidents bride is somewhat of dip
lomat herself and will find way out.
Many receptions have been planned.
and Washington society is rejoicing.
Washington has often noted with
complimentary phrases the brides
taste in dress. Her friends have al
ways remarked her ability to dress
distinctively and becomingly. Back of
this ability lies talent cultivated In
the girlhood days. Money was not
overabundant in the Boiling family.
There was enough to give everybody
the education due the standing of an
old and influential Virginia family, but

THE wedding of the president OF
the United States and Mrs.
Edith Boiling Gait at the brides
Washington home on the even
ing of Saturday, Dec. IS, electrifies an
entire nation, peculiarly susceptible
to the heart appeal to a country wit
Messing the marriage of its first citi-
zen.
With ceremony so simple and with
attendants so few one can scarcely be-
lieve that the wedding means a new
life for the president and new first
lady Of the land"
!. Mrs. Gait, one Of the most beautiful
women in Washington Of the old Vir-
ginia stock, never looked more lovely
than she did as the date for the we'd
ding approached. And even the most
cynical recognizes the genuineness of
the elation and buoyancy of the presi-
dent, who under the spell Of his bride
has been literally made over"
On Dec. % the president will be fifty
nine years old. Less than year ago

the trace of very eventful year was
written Enthusiastically into his face and
physique. Especially did he show the
stress and travail which he has under
gone during the last FIVE years. To-
day, apparently without care in the
world, he looks less than fifty. His air

and he is all graciousness. Nobody can
doubt that under the influence Of the
simple, gracious, companionable wo
