CUBS NEED FIELD GENERAL
SOX PLAY TEXAS LEAGUERS
BY Mark Shields.

BY Mark Shields.
Accounts of the games the Cubs
are playing on the coast forcibly en-
phasize the need Of a field leader and
the perfection of teamwork before
the opening Of the National league
season. If present defects are not
remedied there will be glaring mis-
takes that will be fatal to any ma
teTiaI advances in the percentage
column.
Twice yesterday in battle against
San Francisco, which the Cubs lost
to 2, fly balls fell safe when they
should have been caught. One pop
ped up back of second base. Cy Viii
Hams tried for it, but it was too short,
and Yerkes and Wolfe stood around
while the hOrsehide hit the dust for
a safety and a run.
Immediately thereafter a ball was
knocked in the air back Of third base.
Leslie Mann, dashed in, but the ball
should have been caught by Deal. As
a result Of the mix-up, this drOoper
also fell safe and another run regis
tered.
With Larry Doyle, the captain, on
the bench, there appears to be no di-
Tecting head when the club is on the
field and the men interfere with each
other in retrieving wallops. This
smOothness in going after plays is
one of the prime requisites Of team
play, and until the Cubs master it
they will be under a severe handicap.
In the fact that no captain has
been appointed to supplant Doyle is
seen additional evidence that Larry
will be operating at the keystone
April II, and for several days pre-
viOus to that Otherwise, some field
head would be appointed, for Fred
Mitchell is no ignoramUs and has
been in the big league long enough
to realize the futiIity Of headless
play.
There are some fairlbrains on the

Of the game. Larry is competent to
give directions. But Safer, Workman
and Deal are not, and orders should

Each time out for Jim Vaughn im-l
proves the condition of the gigantic
left-hander and he is better than he
was at this period last year. His
control is excellent and his crOsstire
is greatly improved. In seven rounds
yesterday he set seven gents down
on strikes, steaming up and doing
the tanning when the opposition got
athletes on the tOwpaths.
Prendergast was the victim of the
misjudged flies, and Al Demaree
came through unscathed. Demaree
likes to play in Chicago and is taking
good care Of his arm. The CartOOnist
should be a good pitcher. 1t isn't
reasonable to believe he shot his bolt
with the Phillies two years ago.

New York Gotten.

New York, April 2S, Reports of good rains in the southwest caused an opening decline of :, to II points in the cotton market today with Iu- ly selling at 19.S6c and october at 1S.S5c. Almost immediately. however, the market turned strong on renew ed covering by both old and new crop shorts, while there was further trade buying of new crop deliveries and before the end of the first half hour active months were 21 to 31 points net higher with July selling at 2036 and October at 19.2lc. Apprc- hcnsion that the rains in Texas would be followed by unfavorablN low temperatures, and of moro rain than desirable in the eastern belt seemed to offset the relief from drought in the southwest and the market was also influenced by [ sharp advance in New Orleans.
 The market met increased rcaliz- ing around 20.26c for July and l9.31, for october, or about 9 to 35 points above last nights close, and thi close showed slight reactions witr the tone irregular. to a net gain O 20 to 36 points o nthC general list.

@lerS returned to camp, for a time we played games which we appeared to have forgotten. The rest of the time was spent in toasting our faces, as well as marshmallows, around the camp fire. It was then our stories were introduced. Our teacher-chap- erone, and several of the girls enter tained us with some of tho most thrill ling ghost stories we had ever heard.
 A heated discussion took place among the boys as to which one was best fitted to impersOnate ghost We decided that skinny boy would show up better than fat one, and gave the honor of soaring the girls to the one we thought was best fitted for the part-.Joe Gould-Joe only weighs 175 pounds.
 During one of the most thrilling of the stories, the ghost. disguised in our tablecloth, stepped from behind a tree and did his work so thorough ly that cries "I'm going home," were heard from all around
 We packed up and started toward town reluctantly, each feeling that il was the end of perfect picnic.

(By John McIntyre.)

In most instances, the planning of a picnic affords more enjoyment than the picnic itself. However this Was not true of the outing given by our senior English class, for we didn't have time to plan anything Like many hastily arranged affairs, it was a complete success.
 We never knew just how it hap pened, but by some special act of providence, we embarked safely in three automobiles and Ford, carry ing with us enough provisions to feed the German army. Although we boys thought that this would be enough for the girls, we would not risk it for us: so we added two gal Ions of ice cream. We didn't intend to suffer from hunger.
 No one knew where we were going until we got there, but we found Noble Lake to be an ideal place for our picnic. There was plenty of wood near, and soon the chief flunky Harry, assisted by the rest Of the boys, had a large fire started, over which the camp-cook, Eunice, fried enough bacon for us all, while the ISdu WdlLl cSo, MloS NUl pay, dllu HCI assistants, Pearl and Frances, spread the supper. When this was ready we spent the most enjoyable time oi the evening.
 After supper, few of the more active of our number wasted some of their surplus energy in boat-riding while the most observant were at | tracted by the surrounding scenery the setting sun, and the deepenin. shadows that were reflected in the lake.
 During the afternoon, much amuse ment was furnished by an old-time darky, Aunt Lucy, whom we tried te persuade to stay until our promisel stories were told

ID SUE IRON MOUNTAIN
 FOR RECOVERY 0F LANDS
Governor Appoints Special Attorneys to Represent State in Litigation to Be Started Again.

Little Rock, April 2S.-J. V. Bour- land and Jo Johnson of Fort Smith and Judge Jeptha Evans of Boone vile Saturday were appointed by Governor Brough to act for the state In reinstating a suit against the Iron Mountain railroad for recovery of lands alleged to belong to the state. The lands involved were deeded to the state by the federal government in 1850.
 Shortly before the Iron Mountain was placed in the hands of receiver, the late W. l.. Moose, attorney gener-
 :, Mr Johnson and others filed suit pt1ause Of an order which had been issued by the federal court, prohibit ing the filing of suits against the road without federal court permission, MT. Moose, Mir. Johnson and other attor- neys in the case were cited for con- tempt of court The case then was dropped.
 When it is refiled, if the road still IS in the hands of federal receiver, permission will have to be obtained from the federal court.
 Governor Brough also appointed Brooks Norfleet and Walker Morrow, both of Forrest City, and M. J. Harri- son of Wynne, as special attorneys to assist George Vaughan of Little Rock in prosecuting back taxes suits. Mr. Johnson, MT. Norfleet and Mr. Harri- son were members of the 1917 house of representatives.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, April 2S.--Rains 'n Texas caused a drop of 1 to points around the opening Of the cotton market here today, but immediate improvement of the prospects of much colder weather over the belt, which the trade feared meant dam age to young cotton. At the end of the first half hour of business the trading months were 1G to ? points over yesterdays close.
 A marked increase in the spot de- mand, resulting in total sales of over 5000 bales at rise of $1 a bale, in creased the demand for contracts. Toward the close the active months were "A to 34 points over the last quotations of yesterday.
 Cotton closed steady at an advance of 19 to B points.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago Grain.

Chicago, April 2S.-Excited trad ing and greatly higher prices were brought about in the wheat market today, largely as consequence oi Washington and London dispatches that pointed to increasing need of rush in food supplies to tentative needs. Nearly all commission houses were on the buying side and there was an extreme scarcity of offerings.
 Despite the rush to purchase, the volume of trade was far from being commensurate with the sharpness of the advance in values. The fact that the rise in values at Winnipeg was even greater than here counted as d bullish factor.
 Opening prices whicli ranged from 1R to 121ac higher with May at $2.74 to $2.75 and July at S2.29 to $2.36, were followed by decided further gains in May and September, the lat ter month ascending for the first time to $200.
 Unexpected announcement at Win nipeg that no buying of Winnipeg wheat futures had been done for the British government or its allies du-- ing the last 40 cent advances and that sufficient amounts had been bought for present requirements led afterwards to a sudden break in prices here. The market fell an ex. treme 15R cents to E. 201a for July. The close was demoralized, ranging from 212c net lower to 7c advance, with May at S2.75 to s2.74R and July at $2.25@2.26.
 Corn was governed entirely by the bulllsh action of wheat. Sellers were scarce. After opening 3-4 to 1 3-4c higher, the market ascended all
