concern. Moreover, it is not likely
that they will be permitted to go

Les Darcy, by enIisting in the U. S.
aviation corps, has returned a con-
elusive answer to some of his critics.
Before we entered the war some Of
fcials made grandstand plays by
barring the Australian fighter on the
ground that he was a Stacker, but at
the same time Fred Welsh was al
lowed to continue his dancing eXhi-
billions, laying away the coin. Now
Darcy is to be allowed to fight cOU-
pie of times in this country.
Jim Coffey and Carl Morris fought
a ten-rOund draw in New York,
showing to what a low level our
heavyweight fight standard has de-
scended. Any good second-rater of
former years would have had either

rounds.

CLEVELAND HERE FOR FIRST
SERIES AGAINST SOX
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Today, weather permitting, the
White SOX resume hOstilities in the
hunt for the American league flag.
They are safely in first place, no
matter what happens this Afternoon.
Though Cleveland boasts only a
fifty-fifty record against St. Louis
and Detroit, while the SOX have risen
at the expense of these clubs, there
is foundation for the belief that in the
next four games the Hose will have
a stiff fight to do better than break
even.
Cleveland is better mechanically
than last year, because of improve
ment in the pitching staff, and has
the confidence that a years expert
enCe brings to a team. Foil is no
longer bOssing a crew of green hands,
liable to blow under fire.
Despite some poor pitching, the
Hose have made an excellent record
for this much of the flight. CicOtte
and DanfOTth, not regarded highly in
1916, have been the most competent
hUTlers, Ieft-handed Dave having sur
passed easily the efforts of his south
paw rivals, Williams and Russell. I'm
til these two come to something like
last seasons form, Danforth will
probably bear the burden of the left
handed f1inging.
Scott has pitched a couple of good
games. Faber has as yet been unable
to use all his stuff, but will improve
with warm weather. Except for
the pitching staff the team is of
championship caliber and the pitch
eTs are not to be lightly considered. -
They do not have to be as effective
as former SOx stats, for the attack
back Of them is better than anything
South Side manager has had I'M
der his wing in previous years.

anything with his arm since the sea-

DR.. CROFT PR0RHES|ES
THINGS DOING IN 1917

Prophesies for the new year, "ad-
duced from the Pythagoran code,"
were issued at New Haven, Conn.,, by
DR.. Detmer Eugene Croft, January
5th. The United States, he declared,
will enter Mexico again by force of
arms and establish provisional gov
ernment. Carranza and his regime
will disappear. .
Villa will not be alive September
18th. The German emperor, DR.. Croft
predicted, will not live to see the end
of the war. Deep sorrow will follow
his family. The royal circles of Rus
sia, Italy, Greece and Spain will suf-
fer. The rule Of Prussia and the OF
toman empire will pass with the close
of the war. The thrones of the far
east will be shaken.
Great naval activity among the war
fleets of Europe will come in the early
first part of the year.
A stormy cycle is indicated for our
president in the first four months.
Cabinet changes will come. Congress
will be reactionary. Labor Legislation
will be disappointing.
The year will bring acute tension
in our foreign relations. Japan will
aggressively plan. Look for a coali-
tion between Japan Russia and Ger
many.
Drought will affect the west and
south, sudden, violent storms are in
dicated.
February, April and July are the
dark months Of the year. Intense
magnetic bands encircle the earth
Riots and crime and epidemics are
likely to appear, said DR.. Croft.

when the judge bethought himself to
say:

Whereupon the man drew himself
up and answered.:
"Your Honor, am a plain man and
believe in being fair to all. l don't
go by what the lawyers say, and
don't go by what the Judge says, but

the dock and I say to myself: "That

Il ~ about the demand for educated brain
power" 1t is true.
Every large corporation and important
business in the United States is looking for
men with educated brain power"-looking
for $4,000, 5000 and $5O,OOO men.
Such men are needed, urgently needed,
now as never before, to direct and manage
the great industrial enterprises. When war
orders cease, educated brain power will be
needed to adjust business to new conditions
without loss New markets have to be de-
veloped, manufacturing methods must be
improved, selling and distribution problems
have to be handled with ma ximum economy
Then, too, the competition of Europe after the
war has to be met War has taught the European
nations how to intensity production. 1t has de-
veloped industrial efficiency.
The situation here is big with opportunities
Are you equal to it?
What is "educated brain power?'
1t is knowledge, broad general knowledge; specific
facts and information about many things. 1t is the
mental capacity of who has not merely business
training, but who is we'll informed; who is
acquainted with the world and what is going on; a
who reads and studies.

ILLINOIS COURTS
 AID ACCUSED MAN

Deputy Sheriff J. l.. McBurnett re- turned yesterday from Chicago where he had gone to take charge of Fred Walls, negro, indicted here on
 charge of selling liquor. Walls, who
 had told the chief of police that he
 would return without requisition, later changed his mind, retained an attorney and obtained his release through habeas corpus proceedings. MT. Me- Burnett says States Attorney Hoyne and other court officials of Cook coun- ty displayed little sympathy with the Arkansas law making the sale of liquor a felony. In discharging the "colored gentleman" the court de- clared that any other official of Cook county who arrested Walls on the Ar kansas warrant would be "held in contempt of court"
 While Mr. McBurnett did not get the man he went after. he obtained ex- perience which, while interesting. warmed his Southern blood, and he was not at all regretful when he quit Chicago southward-bou And Walls attitude among his white cronies has made his capture by the Jefferson deputy sheriff a personal matter, MT. McBurnett asserting that he'll have Walls under arrest again in a few months.
