offside fingers than anything the
clubs out here, with the exception OF
the Sox themselves, can exhibit.
Also, the benching of Fourier
against left-hander means a shift
in the defensive policy of the team.
John Collins goes to first base, which
does not in any way increase the
ability Of the club to prevent runs.
The fielding is not improved.
1t prevents the perfection of team
play, means possible further changes
around first-as yesterday, when
MOriarity went to first late in the
game and is almost certain to re-
suit in a jam on signals.
In the second inning yesterday
Wambsganss opened for Cleveland
with a safety. Once on each of the
next two men who batted Schalk
called for a pitchOut with the inten-
ton of swapping a throw to first in
an attempt to trap the runner. This
intention was q deep, dark secret to
John Collins. When Ray caught the
BAH and poised himself to throw each
time he found Collins halfway down
the baseline to the plate to retrieve
a prospective bunt.
There was absolute lack of team
work there and it is almost certain to
continue so long as the Sox go along
with a makeshift defense of first
base. The team is not a pennant con-
tender, despite it's latent hitting
power and strong pitching, so long
as this first base problem remains.
1t has been big handicap in the
past and bids fair to continue so.
Thinking over the first base situ-
alton recalls the remark of Ban
Johnson that Hal Chase wasn't the
kind of a fellow wanted in the Amer
lean league Then we thumb the
records for this much of the season,
notice the remarkable game this
same unwanted Chase is playing
with Cincinnati in the National

And now we find that our famed
Sox wrecking crew isn't present,
Rowland shakes up the combination
when a left-hander faces the South
Siders and Jack Fournier, first base
man and lauded slugger, is among
those watching the pastime from the
bench.
Manager Clarence is running the
team, is being paid for it and can do
his job without assistance, but it
sticks in memory that Fourier has
been hitting the southpaws much
harder than some of the fellows who
remain in the game.
And if Jack can't hit Ieft-handed
pitchers, where is his value to the
team. Certainly he can't be carried
because of his fielding ability, and a
man who can hit only Tight-handed
pitching is not remarkably valuable
when we consider the number of
good southpaws the American league
boasts.
The west has only a small minor
ity of the really good southpaws in

MACHINE GUNS AND HORSES

War in Mexico will call for two
things in the way of military equip
ment which are sadly lacking today:
Machine guns and horses.
It has been announced that the ma.
tional guard is either adequately sup
piled or can quickly be equipped for
service WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
MACHINE GUNS.
1t doesn't take soldier to realize
the importance of machine guns to-
day. The United States bureau in
charge of such matters turned down
the Lewis machine gun, now used in
great quantities in Europe, and which
would add UNNECESSARILY to the ef-
fectiveness of an army in Mexico or
on the border The machine guns in
use by our army have been discarded
by European forces as fast as they
could be equipped with the Lewis
guns.
The Lewis gun is light, easily han
died, incapable of jamming and can
be easily carried and put into action
almost as rapidly as a rifle.
A large part of campaign in Mex
leo, or along the border, to be quick
ly effective, must be borne by COM
paratively small bodies of fast NOV
ing troops. Horses, motor cycles and
autos are all necessary. But cavalry
comes first in Importance. The pur-
chase of horses was authorized only
recently-in fact, after the national
guard was called upon.
No preparation had been made in
any of these matters, despite several
years of dangerous situation on the
border.
The obsolete methods Of red-taped
political bureaus controlling the army
are responsible for lack of common
military necessities.

MExiCo'S BANKRUPT

For a moment put yourself in the
shoes of Mexico, particularly this part
of the Mexican people who work to
support Mexico, and who will surely
have to do the bleeding and dying in
war times.
For six years or more Mexico has
been in state of anarchy and her
present condition is the climax of
anarchy. Even the Mexican with a
land title which he can defend and
hold, dare not put in crops, since
some revolutionary leader is bound to
harvest his crops or a de facto gov
eminent will come along and reap
them, leaving a receipt Of more than
dubious value. Close such condition
down upon an agricultural nation and
it does not make much difference who
is doing the de facto governing at the
capital city. 1t is a bankrupt nation,
and this is what's ailing Carranza.
His government is falling through in
herent causes, and his Tuning about
national honor and dignity" and "ter.
ritorial rights is mostly one way of
kicking against being put through in
voluntary bankruptcy. If he kept back
from Mexican soil every American
soldier, friend or foe, he would still be
facing national bankruptcy. He
knows this, and by war talk is trying
to save his face, whiskers and all.

SETTING UP EXERCISES

Whether the boys go forth to war
or not, the country is going to be bet
ter off for the setting, up which
some 12S,00O of it's young men are in

When Johnny comes marching
home again, he will have acquired
among other inevitable results of dis
cipline, very handsome military car
riage. He will not put it off with
his uniform. And there will be no
E'round shoulders permitted in his
family.
All of which is worth lot. No
man, soldier or civilian, can work at
his best unless he breathes his best,
and he cannot breathe in the best
way unless he walks and stands
right. The better the oxygenation OF
the blood. the greater a mans ener-
gy and power.
The most critical pacifist cannot
deny that, certain positive good is
bound to come from all the drilling
which is going on in the land.
Every sidewalk crowd which
watches company of regulars swing
by is unconscously improved. Should
ers are thrown back, chins are raised,
hands come out of pockets, slouchy
coats are pulled into shape
There's power in the proper posi-
ton of the human body and every

the will within. The figure of the dis
ciplined soldier makes 1.-THE best OF
models for any man who would pos
sess power in all the activities of his

like flies, should be destroyed on

Weeds advertise themselves-and
the landowners. Pretty soon the man
who fails to keep down the weeds
on his property will be regarded with
decided disfavor by the energetic
members of his community.
New Orleans has already passed the
first ordinance ever enacted for the

those punishable under it are owners,

firms and corporations having priv

TIME TO HARVEST THE WEED
CROP

Weeds are tax on agriculture.
They cost the country millions of
dollars annually. And they take an
EXTRA toll from Uncle Sans annual in
come through their effect on the gen.
eral health, but just how much weeds
hamper human efficiency has not been
reduced to dollars and cents.
The professional hay feverite who
loses his two or three weeks regularly
every summer is not the only victim
of the weed. Summer colds, rose fe-
yer and similar catarrhal Affections
may limit mans capacity for ef-
fective work for weeks, yet they are
caused by nothing seemingly more i'm
portant than a pleasant breeze. The
danger comes when that chance wind
blows over somebody's weed crop.
A movement tending toward the de-
struction of all hay fever weeds has
been launched in many states, and it
will serve a double purpose, for it
happens that the farmer and the hay
fever victim blacklist the same weeds.
The flowers of the condemned
plants are inconspicuous and without
attractive odor. But they produce
great quantities of light pollen
which nature, to suit her own pur
poses of fertilization, has shaped to
dust places the rag weed, the yellow
dock, the careless week, the cookie
but. and certain grasses among the
plant pests. Recently, the president
of the national hay fever association
has pointed out the common daisy

Of the question; that the United
States has nothing to arDitrate. II
General Carranza should withdraw his
hostile orders, however, and then pro
pose that an attempt be made to
formulate through mediators an agree
ment for joint operations in protect

sideration. NoAplan would be accept

that in any way hampered it's own
efforts to guard the lives and proper
ty of it's citizens.
Rights Will BE Maintained.
The right to pursue raiders into
Mexico will be maintained and exer'
cised without interruption and if the
border can be properly protected only
by temporary military occupation OF
Mexican territory adjacent to the
line, that will be the course pursued.

returned to his lines. "A few minutes

OFFICIALS STILL AWAIT
COMPL LANCE WITH EMANDS

Washington, June 29.-The Wash
ingtoh government still awaited to-
night. full compliance with its de-
mands by the de facto authorities of
Mexico. Release today, by General
Carranza's order, of the American
prisoners taken at CarriZal has avert
ed the immediate retaliatory steps.
1t is possible also that it has helped
to pave the way toward an attempt
at settlement of he whole border sit
uation. High officials made it very
clear, however that the vital points
at issue-the future attitude of Mex
lean forces toward American troops
in Mexico, engaged in guarding the
border and pursuing bandits who
raided American territory, remained
to be settled.
The state department had no ad-
vices tonight as to when reply to its
demands might be expected. The Car
rama government has adopted the
usual course of complying in fact With
an urgent demand from foreign gov
eminent before it even acknowledged
receipt of the note or made any state
INIT of what it proposed to do.
Pending a satisfactory answer to
it's second and more far-reaching re-
quirement, the United States will con-
tinue to hurry troops to the border
and take every sep necessary in prep
araton for the carrying out of its pur-
poses by force of arms.
Carranza Still Defiant.
limitations have come, it is under
stood, that Carranza intends to back
up the orders to General Trevino, d.
recting that the American troops be
attacked if they move except toward
the border. Officials are fully pre-
pared for a reply that character,
despite the fact that the prisoners at
| Carrizal have been promptly surren-
dered on demand. They expect, hoy
ever. that the reaffirmation of posi-
tions will be made in note free from
hostile language and continuing the
discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico.

The news that De Wolf Hopper had
been engaged to spend an entire year
at the Triangle-F Arts studio, max
ing pictures under the supervision OF
D. W. Griffith, brought joy to every
lover of the screen art.
Hopper is today the most famous
comedian Of the American stage, and
deservedly so, for he today possesses
even greater artistic ability and draw
ing capacity than in his halcyon days
of comic opera stardom a couple of
decades ago.
Hopper was born in New York in
1858 and was protege of Hon. Joseph
H. Choate, former Ambassador to
England. He went on the stage in
1878 in "Our Boys" His first New
York appearance year later was
at Jack Haverley's Theatre. Among
the famous representations of his
early days we're character roles in
