There are four teams hauling ore

The troubles of King Constantine
OF Greece has had to bear since
Europe broke into was has been at
the rate of n trouble per minute.
He has been standing between two
emotions. First, his wife, who, be-
ing the kaiser's sister. fought against
any movement which WOULD pit
the Greeks against her brother in
a bloody conflict; second, the great
er part of his subjects have insist
ed that Greece join with the allies.
Standing out against his people for
so long, he at last lost most of
the popularity he and the queen
held at the time of their ascension.
Then an old Greek tradition was
re%surrected which held that when
a Constantine and a Sophia next
sat on the Hellenic throne Constan-
tinople would in time become their
capital. This hope is lost.

MIKE ENNIS CON- rsa
 OPTION IS SERIOUS
Former Manager of Arkansas Travellers not Recovering from Operation as Was HOped-Re- gently Signed with Beaumont

Little Rock, Feb. Mike Finn, for several years manager of the Lit tie Rock Travellers, and probably the man who has done more than any other for Arkansas in professional athletics, is in an extremely critical condition in a local hospital. Mir. Finn recently underwent an operation for intestinal troubles, and has not improved. as it was hoped for. MT. Finn recently signed as managed of the Beaumont club of the Texas Lea que. He was also part owner in the franchise.
 Mike Finn has been one of the best judges of ball players in the country and was responsible for many Arkan- sas boys getting their start in the game. He was largely responsible for number of big league teams se- lecting Arkansas points for spring training, and many leagues about the country looked to him for their an- nual schedules, he being considered one of the best in that line in the United States. For years he drew the schedule for the Southern League, and when there was a chance for Lit tie Rock to return to that Association he was a bidder for the franchise, which was secured by Robt. c. Allen.
