Peine Best Third Baseman.

The best player at third base was
Peine of Western. Some may be dis
posed not to give him consideration
for the all-star job because he was
used al a pitcher in some of the games,
but that should not in any way detract
from his worth as a third sacker, and
certainly the fact that he was able to
aid his team at times in another place
ought not to stand in the way of his
receiving the full benefit his capabili-
ties at third show him to deserve.
Toots Wise of Business was the best
man in the position outside of Peine.
Peine is fast. covers lot OF ground,
throws well and hits better than the
ordinary.
Three outf1elders stand out above all
the others and their choice for the posi-
lions ought to receive unanimous ap-
probation. Peyton of Western, Blake
of Eastern and Roberts of Central were
by far the mot capable all-round gar
deners. each being able to hit. fast and
better f1elders than the majority. Watt
of Western and Hawk of Business also
were excellent fielders, but were not
strong at bat.
Such a team as has been chosen
would give any scholastic combination
in the east all it might be looking for
in the way of hard game. 1t would
combine excellent hitting propensities
and speed on the bases with a splendid
defense, and those three things in con-
junction are the factors which win ball
games.
The series was twice the length of
previous years. which caused 1t to be
long drawn out. Eastern, very deserv-
eddy, won the championship. playing
much more consistently than the other
teams The mines as whole were a
little stronger than usual and the
pitching was SO good it could not be
compared to the last few years. The
spirit of the players was excellent,
every man playing hard down to the
last game, notable instance of this
was the final contest, in which the
greatly weakened Western team. with
out a thing at stake other than to give
its greatest rival, Central. an oppor-
tunity to play off tie with Eastern,
fought Eastern through a brilliant 0
to / battle. There was a lot of bad
base running by all the teams, but that
is to be expected by inexperienced
players. Leaving out the length of the
schedule and the failure of the Tech
team to live up to what was expected
of it. there was little in the way of
disa appointment for the general follow
er OF scholastic sports. \

WOODROW WILSON

History will record Woodrow VIII
son as one OF the greatest. IL not

ever produced.
We are wont to point with pride
to the glorious achievements OF
Washington, jefferson and Lincoln,
men of a past age. had not the great
problems to confront as those that
now rest upon the shoulders OF the
present executive.
Washington after successfully free
ing the colonies from the yoke Of
oppression imposed upon them by a
naughty and overbearing king, was
chosen as the chief magistrate to
preside over and guide the destines
of the infant republic composed OF
three million souls. There was no
money power at that time to grasp
and grapple with, no bugle blasts
from nearly every civilized nation Of
the earth calling their noble sons
ITO arms. each nation trying by
ehrewd methods to break. the neu-
trality of this great republic.
Jefferson Will ever stand as liv-
ing monument, in formulating the
great questions that in the short
space of $50 years have advanced
his country to be the leading nation
of tie earth This being a young re-
public, Re was not confronted with
greet internal questions arising from
aggregated wealth.
Lincoln will ever be lauded as the
emancipa.or of 100000 human Ethi-
opian souls from their chains of bond
age, as well as tie moulding OF this
great nation into cne common band
OF brothers, wlo are ever ready to
shed their Mfe's blood in defense
of their nation.
These statesmen of the past, per-
formed well their parts in the dram
us then being eracted. but they
were minor parts compared to the
questions thrust uron our present
chief executive VIXEN the whole of
Europe is Attire with warlike hatred
that knows no bounds. Net only
has President Wilson 10 safely steer
the American bark through troubled
waters, as against the monster levia-
tLans ttat inhabit the sea, but he

Not only has he to retain peace
