not pass a man and would not have
been scored on if Buck Weaver and
Jack Fourier had not attempted to
break the long-distance throwing
record for infieldeTs.
Each wide throw was good for a
run and two were all the Indians re-
ceived. That shows how good Lefty
was. CleVeland's first run was a gift
by Weaver. A man was on second,
two were out, and Buck threw away
a bounder that should have made the
third death.
In the tenth inning Jack Fourier
tried to throw out a man at third on
a sacrifice and the ball hasn't been
found yet. 1t was Jacks daily error,
and costly, as usual Thursday his
bungle was good for three enemy
runs, but little attention was paid to
it, as the Hose won.
Fournier will have to do a whole
lot of hitting to keep his position in
the face of his tendency to heaVe
badly.
Weaver, moved to short, has an
excuse. Buck has gagged his throw
from the far corner and the shorter
distance will bother him for few
days until he regains the range. Nc
Mullin is playing good ball at third
and hit once. Today the Sox open

Mandatory service in new, feder-
allied and reorganized national guard,
whose standard shall be the state Of
proficiency acquired by the troops now
returning from the border, will solve
the nations land defence problem, &C
cording to Major General John F.
Organ, the ranking national guard Of
fcer Of the United States. who returned
yesterday with hi. staff from McAllen,
Texas
The guard has made good, General
Organ insists. and by the stlffest pos
sible tests has established that the
system is fit foundation on which 10
erect the structure Of a national de
fence IN which every citizen must play
his part.
General Organs plan OF a national
guard in which all would serve. and
his account OF the success OF the
troops on the border do not agree with
the conclusions of Major General Leon
ard Wood and Major General Hugh l..
Scott. who condemned the guard sys-
TEN unsparingly before the Senate
subcommittee on Military Affairs last
Monday. The regular army men called
the guards failure on the boroer
tragic and pleaded for compulsory
service.
General Organs plan would not in
crease the size Of the regular stand
ing army and would use it as a ma
tional police force The general eX-
planned his project as follows:
AT nineteen every young man
should be required TO join the Ma
tional Guard for six years, three
years with the colors and three years
in reserve During the first year
young men at that age can readily
afford TO give two or three months TO
active field service. This would be
supplemented by weekly drills, rife
practice, schools and quizzes during
the remainder Of the year. During
the second and third years thirty days
each should be spent In the field, sup
plemented by ten months armory
training.
This would give the United States
3 trained force Of several millions of
men in the course Of a few years and
at a minimum OF cost"
General Organ expressed the con
viction that real soldiers could be
made by this method.
1T has been suggested" he said,
that young men could be given the
option of enlisting in the regular
army for six years, OF which one year
shall be continuous service and the
other five in reserve. | do not believe
there is any question Of the efficacy
OF the former method.
"The National Guard assured itself
of a future by its performance on the
border. 1t comes back a revivified, re-
incarnated organization. This country
has never seen such regiments as the
