MARSHALL COLLEGE TO
CLASH WITH N. D. NEXT

Marshall college of West Virginia
will be Notre Danes next opponent
in baseball. The southerners will
cross bats with Harper's nine on the
Cartier field Tuesday afternoon.
Last year Marshall sprung one of
the biggest surprises of the season
by taking the Hoosiers into camp.
Harper and his men are determined
that the visitors will not repeat the
stunt this season. The Wisconsin
game played here showed that the
gold and blue nine is rapidly
rounding into good shape. Although
the Hoosiers have not met an out
side opponent since the clash with
the Badgers fans expect TO see
them display even more class tomor-
row.
Notre Dame students were highly
elated over the victory of the Hoo
sier twO-mile team in the Drake re-
lays last Saturday The gold and
blue quartet won the indoor cham
pionship by taking the event at Illi-
nois and they proved their superior
ity over other western teams by
winning again Saturday. The fin
ishes in the mile and half-mile re-
lays in both of which races Notre
Dame finished third, were exceed
ingly close and it proved hard to
pick the winners.

A REASON FOR BUSINESS
FAILURE.

In the May American Magazine is
an article entitled Are You a Care
taker or a Promoter in which a
writer describes how he and a friend
went into partnership-and failed
miserably.
As / look back on that day" he
says. Il wonder that we did not see
the end Of our enterprise from the
day Of its beginning. For there
could be only one possible end To
be sure. Calkins and I had worked
for the Universal Co. for years; we
knew all its methods. all its trade
secrets. all the possible pitfalls in
the road of such an enterprise. We
had Kindred tastes and abilities;
We were hard workers and simple
livers; we were both ambitious. and
both singularly agreed in matters
of business policy.
We saw all these factors. and
counted them as great strength.
The amazing thing is that We failed
to see in them at the very outset. a
fatal weakness For Calkins and
were too much agreed. our tastes
and abilities were altogether too
much similar What Calkins could
do well. could do equally well. The
things he was afraid Of. I was afraid
Of. 100. At watching expenses and
arranging for prompt deliveries we
were both efficient beyond complaint.
But neither of US had any taste or
ability for jumping out into the field
and dragging business in by the hair.
/ I had never completely recovered
/ from the setback 20 my confidence
/ administered And as for Calkins.
/ he was completely lost the minute
/ he got 10 feet away from his own
/ desk"

international News Service:
NEW YORK. April 23.-The fea-
ture OF the first two weeks campaign
in the major leagues has been the
work of the St Louis Cardinals.
Classed as a club Of second di-
vision calibre from the start, the
Cardinals have upset all calculations
by stepping into the pennant race
with a winning stride and today they
are in second place. close on the
heels Of the New York Giants.
Miller Higgins in his entry has
won eight games and lost three.
while the Giants, in first place with
six victories and two defeats might
be trailing the Cardinals had they
played as many games. Whether or
not the Cardinals can hold the fast
pace they have set remains TO be
seen. but at present they are play
ing bang up ball. Boston and Chi
cago are aiding the Giants and
Cardinals in setting the National
league pace.
In the American league three
teams that were universally picked
as contenders. occupy the first three
inches in the percentage column.
They are the White Sox. Red Sox
and Yankees. The Detroit club has
surprised American league fans by
the poor start it has made. A ia
vorable comparison of all teams in
the two big leagues cannot be made,
however, until the inter-sectional
series gets under way.

MERKLE COST $4,000
Cubs Are Forced to Meet Brooklyn's

International News Service:
PHILADELPHIA Pa, April %
Seasoned ball players, even if they
possibly may have more good years
before them, even behind them, cost
a fortune. For instance, the Cubs
paid $500 in hard cash to Brook
Ign for the release of Fred Merkle.
This sum is official Merkle is a
good, but not an extraordinary first
baseman, and is generally ra, d to
be on the slide, but the wealthy own
ers of the Cubs needed a seasoned
first baseman regardless of the price.
Charles Ebbets, the shrewd owner
of the Robins, knew of the Chicago
Cubs plight and put fancy price
tag on Merkle. The Cubs were
forced 10 pay it, It was strictly a
cash bargain of $4,000, no other
players being involved.
Daubert is sound of leg again and
Ebbets could afford TO pass Merkle
on 10 the Cubs without weakening
his own team.
