FOUR FAST TEAMS

Inter-City Factory League
Teams to Furnish Northern
End of State With Ball.
By Walter 4. Phelan.

When the Manufacturers baseball
league opens Saturday local fans are
going 10 be afforded opportunities to
see four of the best semi pro teams
in northern Indiana for the four
clubs represented in the league have
unusually strong line-ups and their
players are recognized as stars Of
semi-pro ball.
This year the league will feature
inter-city competition more than il
has in other years. When Misha-
waka was represented by the Ball
Bands the crowds which attended
games especially between the Misha-
wakans and one OF the South Bend
clubs was larger than it ordinarily
would have been.
Laporte and Michigan City both
have clubs that on paper are rated
stronger than the Mishawakans were
last year. When IL Will be remember
ed that the Ball Bands led by Ralph
Willis. now one of the stars OF the
Bender hurting staff, had the strong
est team last year Of any that has
been represented in the league since
its start the two new clubs are I'M
questionably strong.
Many Ex-Leaguers.
They are composed of a bunch of
former league stars. Some Of whom
made good for years and then re-
tired but have not lost the art of
playing the national game and do il
as a sideline. Then there are others
who have not made good in leagues
but have considera BILE ability.
Haskell Barker's team of Michigan
City last year easily won the semi
pro championship of northern IN
diana and Illinois by defeating every
club around here and the strongest
clubs touring out of Chicago. Their
lineup probably will be intact this
year so they look good.
Led by Red" Fisher, who was
with the Central leaguers here for a
while last year, the Great Western
Mfg. Co. of Laporte will have
capable group of athletes wearing its
colors. Cramer last year with Terre
Haute, is the dean of the hurting
staff and has several worthy sup
porters back of him
Locals arc Strong.
There has been some talk Of the
two local representatives, Singers and
Studeb~kers, not being strong
enough TO cope with the strength of
the new arrivals in the league. They
are going to pull a surprise on their
hackers however, and the newcomers
are from present indications going
TO have regular fights when they
cross bats with the local clubs.
Both Singers and divers have
added strength to their clubs and al

U. S, CIVIC Federation
AGAINST PEACE MOVES
Will Make Public Its Opposition at
the Annual Meeting in
New York.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 2.-The Ma
tional Civic Federation has made public
here a statement voicing opposition to
the League to Enforce Peace and to
peace movements whose programs ex-
clude the idea of force. 1t is announc-
ed that the federation will make pub
lie this opposition in detail at the an
nual meeting of the federation. which
Is to take place at the Hotel Aston
here January % and %.
The statement Of the federation pre-
sents the contention that the principles
strife are identical and that the same
reasons which cause the failure of
compulsory industrial arbitration will
preclude the possibility of success Of
any attempt at compulsory interna-
tional arbitration.
"A question that looms large on the
public horizon at this moment is, what
part shall this nation play in any in
ternational program looking towards
the prevention of future wars says
the statement, which is signed by
of the federation. 1.-THE most widely
advertised peace movement is that
which seeks to secure a league of ma
tons to enforce peace through the use
Of our naval, military and economic
forces. Another is promoting the
principles of what are termed the
Bryan treaties. which have already
been entered into between the United
States and nearly all the principal ma
tions of the world. excepting the cen
trail powers. A third movement looks
to the establishment of an interna.
tional court. to which disputes would
be referred for judicial settlement
There is a fourth view, however, which
is not yet crystallized into an organi-
cation, but which is radically opposed
to the first two proposals"
