ton in Washington, to draft proposed

relieving the present national car
shortage and to prevent future car
received at the Denver offices OF the
Commission. Other members of the
committee are Frank II. Funk OF the

While Cactus" Cravath was blow ing himself to home-run record, Alexander was pitching as he never pitched before. And on top of it all, the Phillies gathered unto themselves almost all the baseball luck that was doled out by Dame Fortune throughout the season.
 Favored thus]y, the Phillies swept through to victory But they never will be so universally favored again. Cravath may make more home runs in a single season than he did in 1915- but it's unlikely that he'll turn the trick while Alexander is pitching him. self into the league leadership. And vice versa. Even should this happen again, it seems hardly possible that it will come in the same year when there are four woefully weak clubs in the field and three others weakened by injuries or other misfortunes.
 The 1916 Phillie lineup probably will be: 4
 Ludelus, h.
 Niehoff, 2b.
 Bancroft, ss.,
 Stock, 3b.
 Cl'avath, of.
 Pasker, of.
 Whitted, of.
 Burns, c.
 Burns may become the regular baokstop. I<illifer, whose great work helped the club in the major portion of the campaign, may not be able to play again. His wonderful whip, in jured late in the summer, so far has refused to respond to treatment. Jack Adams, substitute in 1915, probably will understudy Burns. Wm. Fish and R. Otconnor, secured from Man chester, N. H., do not seem to be quite ripe for regular work in the majors.
 As infield substitutes, Moran has the choice from among Bobby byrne, 3b., a veteran; Oscar Dugey, a fair fielder but a weak hitter, with the Moran crowd in 1915; F. Brauer, se- cured from Utica.
 The outfield extras are Josh Devore, a veteran, sent to the minors and re- called, and Weiser, who showed nOth- ing exciting in a Phillie uniform of 1915.
 The pitching corps includes Alex ander, Chalmers, Demaree, BaumIart- ner, Mayer, McQuillen, Rixey and Tin cup, all with the Phils last year. Ceschger, farmed out to Providence and recalled; Rhodes, a right handler from Milwaukee,; Fortune, another starboard hurler from Ashville, N. C., and Buttle, left handed semi-plo.
 What do you think of the repeat ing possibilities of this outfit, ritted against the strengthened Giant, Cub, Braves, Dodgers and Red combina- tiOns?

Manager Harry 'fPsp" Clark of the Milwaukee baseball club, left yester- day afternoon for his home at Paula ing, Ohio, having been called by a telegram informing him of the serious illness of Mrs. Clark.
 Whether or not he will return to Pine Bluff before the club leaves, will depend upon the condition of Mrs Clark He was accompanied to the train by a number of the friends ne has made since coming here. all Of whom expressed regret at the news he had received, and rendered their best wishes for quick recovery for Mrs. Clark.
 w. w. Rowland of the Milwaukee Journal and Manning Vaughn of Mill waukee Sentinel, also left yesterday afternoon, taking the same train MT. Clark board. They arrived here March 20, and expected to remain as long as the club was here, but were called home because of press of other business. Messrs Rowland and Vaughn were loud in their praise of Pine Bluff and ts people, and ex- pressed appreciation of the cordial manner in which they had been well comed and entertained during their stay.
 Secretary I. M. Nahin had planned to leave for home yesterday, because there is much business at Milwaukee which must be attended to by him prior to the opening of the Amer ca,, association season, but because of the unexpected departure of Manager Clark, MT. Nahin decided to remain here at least several dayys longer.
 President A. F. Timme of the club was due to arrive here this morning but yesterday a letter from him an rounced he would not arrive until Sunday next. He was telegaphci of tie illness of MT. Clark and the de- parture of the manager, and it is expected, as result, he will try to reach here within the next day or two. thus allowing nIr. Nahin to return to Milwaukee.
