powerless, so johnson, therefore, is
the man to call a halt.
Rivals Should Not Meet.
The rumpus between the Giants and
Tigers illustrates the impropriety OF
arranging spring exhibition games be-
tween teams representing the rival
major leagues. When this series was
planned Johnson vigorously opposed
II. But the owners OF the clubs, eager
to pick up easy money, went ahead in
spite OF Johnson's protests.
Cobb was extensively advertised as
one of the leading attractions In the
various cities and towns where the
teams were scheduled to appear. AS
Cobb was under contract, the Detroit
club guaranteed his appearance. Tick
cts were sold In advance with this un-
derstanding, yet Cobb has seen fit to
ignore Navin and Jennings and has
decided to do his practicing with the
Cincinnati Reds.
After Cobb,s Scalp.
Cobb says that the Giants were
after his scalp, and that they sub
jected him to much personal abuse.
But there is no excuse for Cobb's in
tentional attempt to injure Herzog
with his spikes.
The American League has gained
widespread popularity because It's
teams have played clean ball. Presi-
dent johnson is a strong advocate Of
good sportsmanship and a strict en-
forcement OF the rules.
For that reason baseball men do
not believe that Big Ban will permit
Cobb or any other player to injure the
American Leagues prestige. II Cobb

a look at the youngster before the
team goes away.
Coach Moran will start Kendrick

hitting and some poor pitching on
the part Of Greer. which allowed Wild

Cobb has put the Detroit club in a
hole by refusing to live up to the
terms of his $4,000 contract. Cobb
has left the Tigers in spite of the
protests of Manager Hugh Jennings
and will not rejoin them until after
the exhibition games with McGraw's s
team are ended.
Cobb. under the rules of baseball, is
compelled to report for practice on
March l. He did not appear at the
Tigers camp until ten days after that
date.

their grounds to the Giants and
Tigers with the understanding that
Cobb will take part in the series.

In other words, Cobb has taken the
enforcement Of baseball law into his
own hands. regardless of the conse-
quences, with the result that 1t seems
to be up to President Ban Johnson to
put an end to such high-handed
methods.

Exhibitions Remain.
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Military drilling for the Griffmen
will start in earnest tomorrow morn
ing with the arrival of Corporal John
H Dean from Augusta, Ga. The play
ers will take up extended order move
ments and the instructor thinks that
they will readily learn the various
movements by reason Of their in
creasing interest in the drills.
Though several clubs in the Ameri-
can League threaten to discard the
military drills with the opening Of
the season, Manager Griffith is Intent
on continuing. He will take part In
the daily drills himself as an example
TO his players.
National League clubs, as a general
thing, are not drilling, although the
Brooklyn club may begin on their
return home from training camp.
The Cincinnati club is not joining in
the movement at all. and is not likely
TO, according to the players inter
viewed within a few days.
Two Sessions a Day.
The Grifmen have but four games
to play before the season starts In
Philadelphia next Wednesday, but
their OF days will not be wasted. Two
practice games will be played each
day at Georgia avenue, the Old Fox
believing that his men can get all the
work they need in that way.
This morning the squad got in q
Eood workout under the eye OF Man
ager Griffith and another is booked
for the afternoon. The same pro-
gram is booked for tomorrow.
Friday the Phillies will be played
at Norfolk, Va Saturday the Phil
lies will be the local attraction.
That night the Griffmen will leave
for Columbus, Ohio, to meet Joe Tink-
er's team Sunday afternoon, return
ing to meet the Phillies here Mon
day.
No playing will be done Tuesday,
unless short workout is held In the
morning. The team will leave Tor
Philadelphia in the afternoon.
Lineup Is In Doubt.
inst what the lineup of the Griff-
men will be against the Athletics
IS in doubt --ay Morgan and MIKE
Menosky are making a great fight
for places on the team and manager
Griffith is in dilemma he wants
to increase the offensive power OF
his team, but he cannot afford TO
weaken it's defense.
Either Judge or Shanks Will play
first base, depending wholly upon the
kind of g pitcher to face the Grins.
II a southpaw works, which is un-
likely, Shanks will decorate the in
itial sack II a righthander is on the
mound for the Mackmen, Joe Judge
will be on the job.
Georgetown Is Humbled.
The annual clash with the Hilltop
pers proved the annual walkover for
the major leaguers. Thanks to q
couple Of hard drives in the pinches,
the Griffs hung UP a victory by a
score of IL to i.
Yielding to the advice OF Mike Mar
tin, mayor of Cherrydale, Manager
Griffith held Mcbride on the bench
ard later took out Milan to allow
Menosky to perform.
Craft and Du Mont were too much
for the coIlegians, while the George
town pitchers were spanked rather
rudely. This was especially true OF

mercifully in the seventh.

.sTHE TWO ORPHANS"
 AT EMPRESS THEATRE

Henrietta (Theda Bara) and Louise (Jean Sothern) are the two orphans.
 Henrietta is vividly beautiful and Louise, while equally fair to look upon. is blind. On the death of their parents in French province they d.
 sent to Paris where an uncle has promised to provide for them. On their arrival in the capital. Henrietta, who has attracted the eye of the ras- cally Marquis De Presles, is abducted by his orders. Louise falls into hands of Mother Frochard, professional beggar. Mother FrOchard has two sons, Jacques, swaggering handsome daredevil, too proud to work and Pi- ere, a hunch-back, who earns an hon est living grinding knives. In the squalid cellar that the FrOchards call home, Louise is terrified by the un- welcome attentions paid to her by Jacques. Pierre, on the other hand, does all in his power to protect the blind waif. Meanwhile Henrietta has been taken to the Marquis chateau. Frightened by her experiences and half mad with apprehension, she ap- peaIs to the assembled guests. one of whom, Chevalier de Vaudrey. rescues her after duel with De Presles. Won by Henrietta's appealing beauty, the 'hoyolor wishes fO marry her His father indignantly refuses his consent and causes the girl to be sentenced to prison and exile. How she escapes this fate, and with her blind sister finds the way to peace and happiness

THE main reason for the entrance of the South American republics into the war is to allow the United States ships access to their ports at all times. Had these republics remained neutral American ships would have been de nied such access and inevitably in the end would have resulted in conflict with this country. The smaller South American republics could not afford to incur the enmity of the United States and therefore promptly went to war with her.

INCREASING PRODUCTION.

The government has tackled one Of the biggest problems incident to the war in directing the secretary of az riculture to take steps to deal with the food supply of the nation. The aim is to increase the output of az ricultural products and to augment the production of livestock in the Uni ted States. The problem already has been taken up in general way, Ill anticipation of the war trouble, but now it will be handled systematic ally.
 Fortunately this is phase Of the war in which everybody can enlist. It is proposed to urge people to util- :ze vacant lots in towns as well as waste and semi-arid lands. The acre age possible is almost unlimited and rests with the people themselves.
 Tn allies will depend largely upon this country for their food supplies. as they have in the past. It is reported Dy experts that the food crops this wear will be short throughout the world. This fact is due largely to the absence of men from the fields oi labor in nearly all great countries in the world In the United States near, ly a million men will be withdrawn from the mills and the fields this year In order to feed them as well as the millions of others who are fighting against Germany, every person d home should turn farmer. if not a: an occupation. as an avocation.
