At first base Jake Daubert still has
the edge on George Sisler for a num-
Der of reasons In the first place,
Jake is veteran, Sisler only a begin
ner In the second place, Jake outhit
the Brown first sacker by thirty points,
substantial margin. Sisler will
have his day if he lives. He possess
ses all the requisite ability. But look
ing at the narrow vista Of 1916, the
Brooklyn captain is first choice.
At second base, Eddie Collins is to
be preferred to Herzog. He is a
greater batter by fifty points. He is
better base runner by 40 stolen ba-
ses to %. He is a better run getter
by sc runs to 50. And as a fielder
Collins has no superior and scarce an
equal. In fighting temperament Her
zog is no doubt superior, but Collins
is an aggressive player and in wealth
of experience he is second to none.
At shortstop, Meanwhile is the one
greatest star. Bush is a grand play

happens but once in a decade. Maran
vile would be the backbone of any in

 In quarters which have been in possession of all the facts relating to domestic conditions in Mexico, it is asserted that in the event of hos tilities the food situation in Mexico would become prominent factor. Because of shortage of rations and curtailed transportation facilities, it was said that General Carranza would be unable to maintain a force of 10000 men at any point for a period of three weeks, and that there was not enough forage to take care of a body of 5000 cavalry for one week.
 In view of this, it is believed, the Mexicans would have to operate in comparatively small attachments.
 Enough rolling stock has been gathered in Juarez to transport the entire garrison if it becomes advis- able to move southward.

 WAUKEGAN, H., June 20.-Celestia Youker, the "other girl'' in the case of William H. Orpet. university student charged with the murder of Marion Lambert, is expected to take the wit ness stand tomorrow, when it is ex- pected that the last of the states ev- idence will be presented.
 Much of today's testimony con- cerned statements alleged to have been made by Orpet to lawyers, policemen and newspaper reporters just before and immediately following his arrest The. admissihility of much of it was questioned and the witnesses in many instances were interrogated while the jury was excluded from the room. Its members were brought back to hear the admissible portions.
 It was first excluded when States Attorney Dady sketched the purported contents of the letters from Orpet to Marion. Last summer they were ar dent and jealous in tone. They com plained because Marion addressed him { as Dear" instead of dearest" and in nearly every one, reference was made to illicit relations. There was a lapse in the series while Orpet was at home in Lake Forest for the summer vaca-
 ton. When he returned to the Uni versity of Wisconsin at Madison in
 the fall. the tone of the letters was cooler, States Attorney Dadv re-
 marked. Marion was TO longer dear est" but merely dear Marion" and
 xuh m h
 fore had been watching the mails for her letters to him. was now constantly
 apologizing for not writing to her.
 Judge Donnelly took the matter o admissibility under advisement Int last Of the letters written January 22 } said that he would call her up or
