In signing Otto Knabe, President

gang a pennant winner. A utility
man was needed at once, Otto was
the only one fOOtlOose and eXpedi-
enCy demanded that he be grabbed.
He should hit well against south
paws and still can cover some ground
around second base. His contract
with the Cubs provides that he can
be released at any time.
Tinker wants to build for the flu
ture and he realizes that Knabe is
as good as he ever will be and any
such movement will be a retrOgrade
one. If some good minor Lacquer
can be secured he will be promptly
plucked.
Idle days in the east are not doing
the North Siders any good. Tinker
has plenty of pitchers in condition
to work, but each needs frequent
employment to be at his best. This
lay-off may set some of the twirlers
back a step or two. Tomorrow the

Giants have been cutting a dash in

GREAT BRITAIN
SETTLING WITH
CHURCHILL ACT

London, March S.-There are many evil
dences of a highly charged political at
mosphere as a result Of Winston Spen-
Ger Churchilrs temperance in the House
Of Commons Tuesday and the equally
sensational reply to Col. Churchill made
yesterday by Arthur J. Balfour, first lord
of the admiralty.
"Is Col. Churchill preparing to return
to politics." is the question on many
lips. Yesterday he attended a meeting
OF self-appointed committee Of Liber-
ais who suggested to him that he ought
to come back into the parliamentary
work.
Mr.. Churchill replied, according to
the work of the present admiralty and
said that he was "gravely considering"
what course it was his duty to pursue
Colonel Churchilrs intention in this re-
spect is of such importance that the
morning newspapers today show reluct-
ance to hazard any guesses, although
none of them hesitate to censure, even
more harshly than yesterday. the manner
in which he brought himself back into
the limelight.
Most of the newspapers praise Mr..
Balfour's reply to Col. Churchill but
the Daily Telegraph fears that the
first lord of tbs admiralty in the heat
of the moment may have said things
which he likely will regret later. The
Daily Telegraph, which thinks both
Mr.. Balfour and Col. Churchill were in
bad form and are doing the country
great harm, says:
Mr.. Balfour is an TO speak in heat
and repent at leisure. He admitted
that the completion of dreadnoughts

due to actions of Churchill. He re-
vealed that number of the guns of
monitors came from America and
stated that certain of Churchill's ships
are so faulty that they are unuseable.
These are grave statements and We
regret both the attack which prompted
them and the detailed nature Of Mr..
Balfour'S reply. Wa believe that the
