is an experienced American associa- ton player, having been with the St. Paul club last season. He took charge of the practice work of the Brewers yesterday. and handled the squad like a veteran.
 It is expected that in the absence Of Manager Clark, his position at third base for the regulars will be taken by Malloy, who has been cutting up t;t at that corner of the diamond TOT the Villistas in the practice games so far.
 While the grounds yesterday were without puddles of water, they were still soft in many places, and there was no practice game yesterday after neon. The players put in long hours in both forenoon and afternoon, how ever, and everybody worked hard. De- spite the rest of three days, all tha boys showed up in fine form per i.aps in even better form thal would have been the case without the en- forced idleness, because there was cr ance fer sore muscles to be nursea back out of the spirit of "grouch."
 Show Local Films.
 Moving pictures taken lcrc last week were shown sgr the first time Sunday evening at several Milwaukee movie houses, according to informa- ton received by the Milwaukee news papermen who took the views, and were viewed with interest and en- thus asm by large audiences.
 1t is stated the pictures will be shown for several weeks at Milwaukee at all the movie houses in the city, ard then will be shown in Indiana polls, Minneapolis, Toledo, St. Paul, Louisville, Kansas City and Columbus. the other Amer can association cities. There gre about 1900 feet of these views, and when the films are com leted there will be about 1000 feet in all.
 The pictures show important and interesting places in Pine Bluff, in- cluding Athletic field, public build ;ng,s street scenes, the Brewers at work and at play. private residences. good roads, cotton an6 cotton ware houses, sawmills, and other such things and it is expected the show ing of the films in the eight big cities of the north will mean the most valuable sort of advertising for P'ne Bluff.

BIG LEAGUE REVIEW
THE PHILLIPS,
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, March 2S.-Outside of Philadelphia and it's suburbs. the gen. eral opinion is that the ,Phillies won't repeat. -*
 They will take the field with prac- tically the same lineup as in 1915. That aggregation was powerful enough to win the flag last year but this is another season; one dur ing which the Moranites will find fiercer opposition than ever before.
 Probably never again will any ball club be favored With such combina- tion of breaks as were those 1915 Phillies. The greatest of all came through the woeful weakness of the Giants and several other clubs. Had those clubs offered any real battle the road would have been far rough CT for Pat Moran's misfits.
 The Braves chased the Phillies and seemed to have a good chance to ov- erhaul them. And then, James, the pitching star, had to quit the game. Other reverses followed and the Braves were distanced. The Dodgers .whizzed along only to crack in the stretch when their batters forgot the ordinary use for the war clubs.

Thieves In the Night

AUT at Five Oaks. the Town
 bred's country place. there was
 no small measure of excitement
 " the other night--provirg again, incidentally, that all Is not quiet and monotony in country life. It may have been one o'clock, or it may have been three; but. at ali events. 1t was past midnight, and the Tcwnbred household and the whole countryside had long since gone to sleep.
 The night was cold. bitter cold. and without a moon. Outside it was as black as the inside of a coal bin; and within the house the lone. small night lamp burning in Mrs Townbred's room gave but faint, eerie light.
 She was the first to awake. From down ill the region of the kitchen came scratching noise - ominous alarming, suggestive.
 "Ruthvin! Oh, Ruthvin." she called softly, hoping that her tone would be loud enough to wake her sleeping husband yet inaudible to the robbers-for she was certain someone was trying to break in.
 From MT. Townbreds room came OANNv - S'AOAS Ois ANtiSA' tt oCiiSS Ol them.
 So. crawling gingerly out into the cold. Mrs. Townbred put on her bath robe and "mules' and made her way cautiously through the connecting door. Literally. she had to pull Mir. Townbred's ears ard tweak his nose and all but beat him before he woke up.
 And then all he did was to grunt in 8 dazed, ill-natured manner.
 Wake up, Ruthvin," she pleaded in whisper. Somebody's trying to break in-Listen!"
 By what seemed a superhuman ef- fort. MT. Townbred finally managed to rub the sleep out of his eyes. sit up in bed and-listen.
 Now, whatever the cause, it was certainly an accommodating noise for It scratch -scratch-scratched" at just that moment. MT. Townbred heard it | plainly-and Mrs Townbred promptly felt vindicated and relieved. for she knew she simply couldn't stand being told again "It's nothing a-tall: you're imagining things!"
 MT. Townbre~ was wide awake. 1!

as the curtain fell back into place the end of the wooden rod at the bot tom of the curtain rubbed against a large dishpan hanging on a nail by the side of the window.
 Scratch scratch -scrat oh scratch - 1t sounded.
 Mrs. Townbred looked at her hus band and laughed.
 MT. Townbred glared at her. '"Thc next time you get me up at this time of night toto catch burglar you'd better-better--b - gurrrr.- I'm frozen stiff! Come orwell both catch pneImonia!"
 And as he returned Bully to the store-room. that disappointed guar dian of property looked up at his master as much as to say:

Instantly Bully seemed to sense tho 1act that il was q false alarm. And Bully was disappointed. For with but an occas.oaal. half-hearted srow,. he trotted oace!essly along at his mas ter's heels as Mc. Townbred walked back 10 the foot of the stairs to as sure Mrs. Townbred that every;hin2 was all right and that she had better bring the light down.
 Boldly. and almost as casually as they would have done in broad day light, the Townbreds opened the kitchen door.
 It was. cold-goodness. how cold i, was. Everything was in place, and not the slightest sign of anyone hay ing tried to effect a forcible entrance.
 Suddenly there came blast-a cold, wintry piast-which blew one of the window-shades out straight. And

 From the kitchen, the scratching noise was still audible.
 Alr. ToWnbred called to him. again and again, and finally Bully under stood. So Mir. Townbred opened the door and entered. Rushing to the side window. he threw open the blinds and. with shotgun to his shoulder, called out gruffiy: Throw up your hands!"
 Not a sound!
 Not a movement in the dark.
 Not a. '3
 Then. serenely, as merrily as ever, came the scratching noise again.
 "Wcll." said Mir. Townbred under his breath. well, I'll be jiggcred!"

Masculine and Feminine Sins,

Hardly any priest, hardly any phy. sician, would agree that women are better morally than men. There are some kinds of sin which men commit more readily than women. Such are the sins of lust, and possibly those of anger. But there are others where men and women seem to offend about equally, the sins of gluttony, sloth, and covetousness. And of the sins of pride and envy, one might call them pre-eminently feminine sins.-Bernard I. Bell, in the Atlantic.

Interesting Sport Letter
GatheredF From All Spheres

NEW YORK, March 6.-While foot
tall is popular IN Japan the associa-
ton game, and not the intercollegiate
fern of the sport, is what interests
the athletes of the land of Nippon.
There are a large number of Japanese
who have graduated from either Eng
lish or American colleges and return
ed to the land of their birth so that
both soccer and American football are
familiar games. When it comes to in
dulging in the sport, however, the as
ISOLATION contest is the one that finds
favor.
To some extent this is due to the
fact that during their student days
abroad the Japanese played this form
Of football in preference to the rugby
Of England, or the intercollegiate game
Of the American universities The lat
ter sport is, however, highly praised
by Japanese who have seen games in
the United States-a visitor of promin.
euce from the Orient who has returned
70 Japan is at present comparing the
American spirit shown in football play
t. that of the samurai spirit of old ia
pan. In his judgment the game of in
tercollegiate football as played by the
American universities is one of the
Surest signs of American greatness. nj
a recent lecture he referred to the
sport as follows:
IF any Japanese thinks that the
spirit of old Japan, Yamato Damashii
(Japenese spirit is superior to the
spirit of America american Damashi)
he would have that notion changed if
he could see hard fought contest on
ar American college gridiron. The
spirit of the old samurai is not confined
to Japan, but is evident in every game
between American football teams"
He then gave detailed and vivid
description of the game as he saw it
the stoicism of the players, men
knocked unconscious, blooded noses,
wind knocked out, and the matter-of
fact spirit in which all the hard knocks
were taken by the players.
THAT game" he remarked, would
never thrive in Japan.
