Now they're talking Of the changed
personality OF the Mackmen. And
that's absolutely right. The 1917
Mackmen have life and dash, even
down to their new uniforms. Ever
stop to think OF this as an attraction
in team. The Griffs are weakened
somewhat by the fact that their
greatest drawing card, Walter John
son, IL a pitcher. II. for instance,
Zeb Milan possessed the spirit of a
Ty Cobb, fans would go out every
day just to see him. Do you suppose
fans go out to see StrunkG Not a
chance. They go to see Ping Bodie,
who doesn't class with Strunk. But
Ping has q personality that attracts.
Which is all the difference in the
world, boys.
That baseball costs heaps Of money

TEKING. May 9.-Sincere appre-
citation Of the services rendered to
China by the late John Hay, Ameri-
can secretary OF state, in establishing
tho open door" policy and protecting
that country from dismemberment by
European powers was expressed in n
measure which has been introduced
into the Chinese senate to provide for
the erection Of bronze statue Of Mr..

Recognition also is accorded in the
bill To the great service which Mr.. Hay
rendered TO China in proposing the
refunding Of the Boxer indernnitIes.
Among those proposing that the
memorial was G. r. Wang. vice-presi-
dent Of the Chinese senate, graduate
Of Yale university. Several other
Chinese who were educated in Amer
lea seconded the motion that the bill
be adopted. In describing Mr.. Hays

the measure asserted:

/ foreign powers did not give their con-
