THREE PITCHERS FACTORS IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE

AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE
Three pitching arms may have a
great deal to do with the outcome
Of the American league race this
year.
They are the arms of Guy Morton,
Joe Wood and George Foster, every
one of them a master of speed and
curves when right, and all of them
disappOintments to their clubs last
year.
That Cleveland would have been
a far more important factor in the
1916 race had Morton not injured his
arm in midseasOn is not to be denied.
As it was Cleveland was deprived
of the support of her greatest star
and Manager Foil was obliged to
saddle a great deal of his work on
COveIeskie and Kepfer, two young
sters, who could not stand up under
the strain.
Then Cleveland, the sensation of
the early part Of the season, began
to lose games with mOnOtOnous reg |
ularity and soon was out Of the race.
Guy Morton declares the kink in
his arm is gone. If it is, Cleveland
will be a dangerous stumbling block
for other teams in the league this
year.
Joe Wood, three years ago the |
wonder of the American league, has
had a bad arm for two seasons. |
George Foster, the star of 1915, was
ineffective last year.
Should both of these pitchers come !
back into their own, Jack Barry |
should have little to worry him so far
as pitchers are concerned.
Wood believes he is going to be
right this year and that the Boston
management places some confidence
in his belief is shown by their reIuc-

Tho universally acknowledged issue
in the election Monday in Canada was
military CONSUMPTION. The fight
against Premier Borden and the Union
government was solely on that issue.
Sir Wilfrcd Lauricr, leader of the OPP
position, had pledged the Liberal party,
if placed in power, to submit the issue
to a referendum, having confidence that
the prevailing sentiment of the Domin-
ion was opposed to CONSUMPTION. The
result shows that he was greatly mis-.
taken. The domestic vote is strongly
in favor of CONSUMPTION, and to it will
be added the soldiers vote. The latter
will be strong for the Union govern
ment and CONSUMPTION, for it is not to
be supposed for n moment that the men
who have entered the service will
cvince any desire to relieve others who
may be eligible of that obligation. The
heavy vote in all of the districts is
significant of the general interest in
the issue. and the result in the aggre-
gate is striking testimony Of the atti
tudc of Canada toward the war. The
English speaking people of Canada
have been intensely patriotic, but the
French residents, particularly of the
province of Quebec, have shown an I'M
cxplainable disposition toward Stacker.
ism. The election returns Borden and
the Cnionists to power for another five
years 1t puts the stamp of the coun-
try's approval on CONSUMPTION which
the government has upheld. What is
more the majority is so decisive as to
admit of no doubt. The only logical
course for Laurier and the Canadians
who have opposed CONSUMPTION is 10 ac-
cept the situation with the best grace
possible, and join with the great ma
.iority of their compatriots in the de-
termination to push the war 10 n vic
