Cubs VS.. Phillies.

Losing seven straight games to
another team in your own league.
even in March. is pretty poor stuff.
That's what the Chicago Cubs have
done. That's why Joe Tinker is
wondering II he flivvered when he
dropped all those former Cubs to re-
tain his whales.
When Tinker began cleaning out
the National Leaguers from the
Cubs, he was told in every Chicago
paper that he was making a wrong
step. He continued. nevertheless,
naturally believing he knew better
than his critics.
Tinker took his remnants OF Cubs
and Whales down to Tampa and be-
gan work. The bunch looked all
right until they stacked up against
the champion Phillies. Then they
promptly went to pieces. IF.
Those Federal League pitchers.
who had looked so good last summer
In the independent circuit. were out
classed when put up against some
big league batters.
Those Federal League infielders
and outfielders were slow as molas-
SEES on n cold morning when compared
with the Phillies, even though the
Phillies are not ranked as a fast ball
club.
Now Tinker IL thinking. He won
ders II those Chicago scribes weren't
right, after all.

Cobb Spells Schen1ing
Of Mem York Manager
McGraw Wanted Columns of Publicity Comparing
Kauff and Star of ngaleers-Today's Sport
. orial on Some Live Topics in Sport World
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Ty Cobb has ruined a fine press
agent plan of Johnny McGraw's
by failure to report early to the
Tigers. Pretty tough!
hcGraw. who Is one of the wlsest
chaps connected with baseball. had
1t all planned to have a daily battle
royal between Benny Kauff. the "Ty
Cobb OF the Federal League" and
Ty Cobb. of the Jungaleers. the real
thing when It comes to starring on
the diamond.
But a fire broke out in Augusta.
Ca, at an opportune moment and
Ty seized the excuse to remain away
from the training camp. thereby
running a neat little scheme of the
Little Corporal of the Giants.
McGraw wanted columns in the
New York papers. comparing his
outfielder with the peerless leader
of all major leaguers. He wanted
to cut In on the heads now going
to the Yankees because OF the ap-
pearance of Frank Baker. Joe
Gedeon, Lee Magee, and Nick Gull
iop; But Ty didn't show up. SO
Furthermore, Kauff also fell down
badly in his work for the Giants.
He failed to break any fences, and
he failed to wake the echoes with
his thieying propensities. On the
whole, Kauff proved a joke. New
York fans have already begun polk
ing funt at him. When New York
fans do that. a player has a hard
row to hoe.
Kauff is going to be compared
considerably this coming season
with Ty Cobb. The fans who follow
the game closely will take great de-
light in measuring him up against
the wonderful Jungaleer. But that
isn't doing the Giants any good
right now.
Many good judges of baseball. ad-
hitting all that Kauff has done in
the Federal League for the past two
seasons. cannot begin to class him
with Ty Cobb in any feature of tho
game. Some go so far as to say
that Kauff will have to hustle to
hit 800 in the National League.
But. anyway, McGraw's little
scheme has gone a-glimmerin8.

The Brooklyn Dodgers are now on their

departments, particularly in the think

Wheeler Dell was In fine form for
Brooklyn. gathering four hits through

FORT WORTH, Tex. March 3d.
Rankin Johoson. moored here by the
Red Sox for his daring in jumping to

Giants yesterday. though he lost. to 0.
Johnson's lone base on balls happened

FARMER RADFoRD ON
WONAN SUFFRAGE

The home Is the greatest contribu-
,4ion of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure Is built around her and
social righteousness is In her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies OF
hope and her refinement Is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations or
queenly conquest, and her crown OF
exalted womanhood Is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor In the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs OF life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood OF the farm
Is our inspiration. she Ia the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to a higher life. but directing the af-
hairs Of government Is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

work In every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without

They are the most practical men

LYRIC.

Effectual steps have been taken to
drive out the illegal traffic in opium
on the Pacific Coast and to a great
extent these efforts have succeeded,
although now and then small lot of
the forbidden drug slips through the
net laid by the customs officers. The
efforts of the drug runners to evade
the government scouts form pictur-
esque chapter in underworld life.
Recently a New York flat was raid
ed by the police with the result that
nearly trunkful of the drug, valued
at nearly hundred thousand dollars,
was discovered.
Again, California being much nearer
to China than New York, naturally
presents greater opportunity to the
smugglers to get their wares into the
United States undetected The Uni
versal has taken advantage of the
location of it's studio on the Pacific
Coast to stage number OF thrilling
photoplays based on this secret traffic
in the original settings. "The Dupe"
at the Lyric tonight is the latest of
these photoplays.
