OF al SORTS BASEBALL

BOXING-SPORTS OF !
Baseball swiped all other sports
from the sporting pages of America
today. In the National and Ameri-
can league cities, with eight games
opening the season, there was no
hesitation in enthroning baseball as
''the big game"
The schedule for today ran:
American League-Detroit at Chi
cago, st. Louis at Cleveland, Wash
ington at New York and Philadelphia
at Boston.
National League-Chicago at Gin
cinnati, Pittsburgh at st. Louis, Bos-
ton at Brooklyn and New York at
Philadelphia.
Both Sox and Cubs ended up their
training season with wins. The
South Side crew trimmed Moline, 5
to 0. Of the eight hits made by
Rowland's crew, Jackson grabbed a
homer and Murphy twO-bagger.
The Sox Yannigans blanked Rock
ford, 4 too. Calvin hurled peach of
a game, allowing only two hits.
Walsh was the batting star, getting
triple and two singles.
The Cubs WalIoped Louisville, 9 to
8. Tinker's crew gathered Is hits,
Zimmerman getting triple, double
and single and Fischer rapping out
four singles.
Just what effect is the sale of Iris
Speaker going to have on the Red
Sox players this season? That qUes-
ton has been bObbing up and down
since the star center fielder was sent
over to the Cleveland team. Already
,,ere has been noticed lack of

proper pep in the Boston outfit. This
is due partly to the fact that in one
of Walkers first games in the place
of Speaker he hit into a double play
in the ninth inning with man on
base. The result Of that game was
l to in HarYard's favor. Twas a
tough luck start for Walker. How
ever, with the season a little way
along, Walker may hit the stride that
will make the Red SOx players again
take on a goodly share Of ginger and
get-Upishness.
Speaker, on the other hand, has
decided that he will go out and do his
best for CIeVeland-On one condition.
He wants $4,000 of the purchase
price paid for him by James G. Dunn
to Owner Lannin of the Red SOX.
This can't see the argument that it is
a matter between himself and Lam
min and that it does not concern his
signing a contract with Cleveland. A
conference scheduled for this morn
ing should settle things.
e The Yanks had hard nut to crack
when they ran up against Walter
Johnson of the Senators. At the
same time their lineup was augment
ed by sluggers like Home Run" Ba-
ker and Lee Magee.
Speedy Alexander took the mound
for the PhiIlies when they faced the
Giants in Philadelphia. Heavy re-
vived interest in the game has been
shown in the past week.
With the opening of the baseball
season today it is interesting to note
that practically all the more promi-

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

Mr. Wilson now fluids himself in the trying position of a man
who is up to his eyes in swift water and can't swim, feeling with bis
big toe for ever St slight a hold or landing. HIS big stick method
have failed IN Congress and members of his party in that body have
abandoned him to his fate.
Mr.. Wilson finds that not only his weak-back-d Mexican policy
has been a damaging failure but that his foreign policy has gotten
to a stage where it is beyond his ability, and being shorn of his Con-
gressional powers, he is seeking the people, but what the results of
lis last stand Will bring depends o n what happens between now and
nomination time. Should war break he will probably lose even the
coveted nomination, Ven if his policies don't drown him.
Many say that the warning note in his speeches of the past week
are political rot, but we do not believe that. We do CLEAN the fact.
though, that it is the final stand of a man who is up against the last
wall, fighting for his life. He fully realizes that he las failed as the
"Great Peace Maker" and as war is almost at hand BY his bunglinp
he must change the sentiment.
A nation at war, with him at the head, would be dependent on
main strength and awkwardness to save il, where had he been capa.
