Tommy Long Of the st. Louis Cardi
! nails has written Sid Keener of the St
Louis Times characteristic letter.
| which follows:
Il haven't touched bat and haven't
thrown a ball since last October, but
don't think 1 have lost a single three
base wallop in the old club. Re-
ceived word from Mr.. Britton the other
day to report at San Antonio, and 1
will be on deck. Nothing to it, but they
ought to shorten the winter season and
lengthen the summer season-it's a
grand old game. I'll say it is. Say,
don't you think we could get Higgins
to cut out those center field bleachers?
You know that fence dowff there STOP
ped many of my drives. and couldn't
get homerun in the park. See what
you can do
Fred Toney, the Cincinnati hold-out,
stopped writing letters, packed his grip
and paid President Hermann a person
al visit, with the result that he signed
his contract.
Toney told Hermann he found it very
unsatisfactory to correspond about his
contract, and that he found it better to
discuss the matter personally with his
boss. He signed at the figure he was
originally offered, and predicts that the
Reds will be much better team the
coming season than they were last
year.
The Cincinnati team was greatly
handicapped in it's base running last
season by reason of the fact that it
usually played on wet fields. and this
naturally kept the fast men from doing
their part of the base running. For
instance, Heinie Groh, fast man, stole
only twelve bases. But he makes the
following prediction for himself and his
teammates in the coming campaign:
I'll say right now that I'll steal
more than twelve bases next summer.
We must have extra speed. I know
that mighty well, and I'm positive ]
can do my part. There were several
reasons for our poor showing on the
bases and in run-getting last season. 1
couldn't seem to get proper Roadway
on the wet base paths that were the
general rule during the rainy 1915 sea-
son. Killefer, who is really a great
base runner, was more or less bothered
with his ankles. Buck Herzog had to
do most of the effective base-stealing
and did it we'll. but this year he'll have
some Of US working right along with
him for speed and execution. Mollwitz
is a much better base runner than the
average first baseman, and Rodgers
will show much faster form than last
year. Honestly, with decent luck and
dry tracks. this club will steal zoo
sacks on the season, and that will
mean forty or fifty extra runs"

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS
AFFAIRS in the Islands.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The Philippines today constitute one
of our big national issues. The islands
and their disposition form the center of
a storm Of debate and discussion that
runs from the White House. through
Congress to every crossroads store.
The question they present to US as
their owners and legislators is too well
known to need restating. In the light
Of that question, however. their own
internal affairs take on a new import
ance and significance to the people of
the United States. 1t is the problems
of the Philippines that make our Phil
ippine problem.
They have questions of all kinds to
face over in the tropic archipelago
that is home to the only Christian peo-
pie Of the oriept-questions that run
from practical politics of our own do
nestle variety to the dilemma of deal
ing with wild, pagan tribes of human
ity who have just been ,coaxed down
out of the trees, with fanatic Malay
Mohammedans who run amuck. imbued
with the sole idea of dying in the
slaughter of Christians. The recent
unprecedented in history. Both Amer
leans and Filipinos have a record to
be proud of, and record to be lived
up to in dealing with the situation be-
fore them now.
First in importance, perhaps, is the
matter of government-the constitu
ton of the Philippine legislature and
the causes that led to a three-year
deadlock over the budget. But among
the Americans of the islands, at least.
the state of the civil service seems to
take precedence over everything else.
We tackled big job when the mill
tary turned affairs over to the civil
cover m ent
Big Problem Tackled fifteen years
Is Years Ago. SET ahomt
working it out on big scale A civil
service composed almost exclusively of
Americans was instituted, and progress
along all lines-law and order, justice,
education, science, economic develop
ment-came faster than the most san
euine had hoped for. The Americans
Of the service threw themselves into
the work heart and soul. Then came
the inevitable tragedy OF the situation
the fact that the less Americans the
civil service could get along with the
better.
According to our theory of govern
ment, no American has a right to
place in the Philippine service which
can be adequately filled by Filipio
The islands support the civil service,
and thus have the first call on its DO
sitions. Washington has always rec
ognized this fact, and the service is
being N"Filipinized" as rapidly as pos
sible. AS a result. there is continual
unrest among the Americans. Many
Of them have devoted the best years OF
their life to their work. and now they
must stand aside and let their places
be taken by natives.
The lower ranks of the service are
all Filipinos today. The
chief Justice Of the supreme court and
two associate justices are Filipinoe.

lands we fixed the salaries of the serv-
ice at figures which would enable
Americans from the United States to
live decently and comfortably. Such
Americans had perhaps . higher stand

many imported articles, where the Fill
ipino would prefer native products.
Hence the salaries were set fairly high.
positions and the positions are multi
plying. the service imposes an unneces-
sary burden on the country.
1t was considered bad policy to pay
Filipino less than an American to
do the same work. AS matter of fact,
The Filipino can often earn more in
the service than out of it, and hence
the man who is needed to develop his
native land prefers the government
aside from the needless expense. This
problem will have to be faced in the
near future.
In the matter of retired American
civil servants there is bill proposed
to pension all those of more than ten
years. service who at the end of that
time are drawing $4,000 or more.
The other questions have still to be
dealt with. Even to able Americans
with years of experience in insular
administration they would be no light
ones. If they are handed over to the
Filipino he will have a strenuous time
of it, The Philippine plank in the DEM
ocratfc platform Is construed by many
to involve the complete autonomy of
of the islands at an early date. If that
program is carried into effect we will
give the islands more than their indie
pendence. We viii present. them at the
same time with some of the toughest
problems that any government ever
set out to solve.
