Baseball outlook
RH II. G. Hamilton

UNITED Press staff correspondent
New York, Mar. 24.-Wilbert Rob
inson, manager of the Brooklyn Na'
tional league champions, is going to
start the race this spring with a line
up greatly changed and he's more con
1ident than ever, if reports are true
in the strength of his men.
Robson, with mediocre baseball
club, won the National league cham
pionship last year So, il he believes
his bali club is as good or trifle bet
tor this year, when some one, inelud
ing John j. McGraw is due to stage
some tall speed.
There is just one point worryinl
Robinson. Third base ism sewed W
as tight as ii might be. Mike MowreS
received contract this spring calling
for a cut in salary and the veteran
and firmness anything to do with it
ana firmness to anything to do with it
Then the Brooklyn club asked waiv
ers on Mike with the intention Of send
ing him to the Pacific coast league and
the waivers rolled in.
Robinson will have to plant Ivan OIL
son at third unless something happens
and appoint Fabrique, recruit at short
stop, a move which takes Olson out Of
that crucial position. Fabrique seem'
to have earned his spurs with little dit
ficulty but Robinson still is worried
about third base.
Casey Stengel, too, may be missing
because of the cutting fever that laiC
hold of Ebbets. In his place may b'
Jimmy Johnston or Hickman. Hi Mey
ers and Zack Wheat are known fixtures
in the outfield.

The Portland Traffic and Transfer
association has filed obiect tion with the
public service commission against the
proposed rules of the various railroads
of the northwest regarding the diversion
and reconsignment of freight shipments
into Portland. The railroads propose to
make a charge of So for diversion of
cars to other points in the city than the
depot to which consigned and So for
diversion to points outside of Portland.
Heretofore these operations have been
done without charge. The rules are made
because of the custom of many shippers
to sell good is the car and the buyer
reconsign it to other points. Objection,
according to the communication re-
ceived, has also been made to the inter
state commerce commission.

GERMANS CAN'T SEE
WHY We OBJECT TO It
Think Sinking Of American
Ships Should Be
Pleasing to Us

BY John Grandens.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Berlin, Mar. 24.-Germany cannot see
why America should regard the sinking
of the tanker Healdton by a German
submarine as an Covert act"
Public opinion today agreed with this
expression in view of the newspaper BIZ
Mittag, although admitting the pos
sibility that American sentiment against
Germany would be increased by destruc-
ton Of the Healdton.
"The sinking of the Americn stem.
er Heldton possibly will aggravate Am
eriean press pressure on President Will
son." the editorial declared "and the
entente press viii doubtless assert this
Is an overt act But constituting this
sinking rs reason for war would prove
that America is wilfully seeking such
an occasion.
1t was unnecessary that the Heald
ton traverse the blockade area. The
vessel could have chosen the open way
used by Holland-Ameriean steamers. /"
According to stories told by survivors
OF the Healdton, that steamer was ac-
tually in the safety path announced by
Germany in her barred zone when she
was the victim Of an unwarned attack
by German submarine. United Press
dispatches received from London yes
terday quoted survivors as saying they
expected Germany to make just such a
denial that the Healdton was in the
safety zone as the BIZ Mittag makes
in the above editorial But all the
crew, were positive the Healdton was
IN the lane in which ships were sup
posed to be immune from attack.

OFFER TO SELL FERRY

Cured at $5,5O3.SO

The conference yesterday at the
Commercial club between Skinner &
Bushnell and the committee represent
ing the city, Fred w. Steusloff, Dan J,
Fry and F. G. Deckebach, wherein
Skinner & Bushnell presented a. list of
the actual expenses of preparing the
two barges for the ferry service, re-
suited in a disagreement The commit
tee thought the figures submitted were
so far beyond what they had expected,
that it would be useless to present them
to the county court.
The Salem Ferry company had been
asked to submit to the city the actual
expenses incurred in preparing their
barges, and a fair allowance for their
time. Their figures were that they
should be paid $5,503.S0 for the two
barges, cable, work on the barges and
the salaries for Skinner & Bushnell,
figured at five dollars a day for each.
Phis amount included the 25 per cent
they were to add for selling out to the
city. The expenses for everything in.
Cured on the two barges amounted to
$4,403.04.
