NEED ONE STAR TO MAKE CUBS
WINNERS, SAY WEEGHMAN
BY Mark Shields


President Weeghman of the Cubs,
back from the training camp at Cal
ifornia, is enthusiastic over the di-
TectOrship of Manager Mitchell and
Opines that Mitch will get from the
athletes all the ability they possess.
AL Mitch needs, according to Weegh-
man, is a star defender for one of the
infield jobs. The position in need of
strength is not named.
BY the process of elimination it
would seem to be. second base or
short. and even the keystone can be
eliminated if Larry Doyle is in the
game. In the absence of Steve
.Yerkes, due to a wounded hand,
Workman is playing second and
Wolfe continues to operate at short.
This is a makeshift arrangement
and is another strong indication that
Doyle will be in harness when the
season opens.
The team so far has not developed
any great hitting powers, Mann, Will
liams, Safer and one or two others
being backward with the stick. Deal
is leading the club for the exhibition
games and is easily the start of the
aggregation for this much of the
way.
Mann was a late starter last sea-
son, but Williams was away in
burst of glory, only to fall away later.
Max FIack is liable to have a crack
at a regular berth if some of the
other fellows don't connect success
fully.
Give Mitchell some fair batting
and he will create a stir in the Ma
tional league. His pitching staff is
going to be an effective combination |
of veterans and regulars. Vaughn !

The White Sox have released
Pitchers Norman and Lyons to
Wichita of the Western league. Both
are in need of seasoning, lacking ex-
perience in professional company.
Norman is a Chicago amateur who
starred in the 1916 Tribune tourney.
The main squad of Sox is in
Georgetown, Tex, for a game today,
having, deserted Mineral Wells for
the season. Some of the pitchers
were left behind to perfect their con-
dition and will join the team later.
Others will remain with the second
team under direction Of Kid GIea-
son. Their exhibition trip does not
begin for several days.
The regulars left the camp in ex-
cellent condition, the beSt-trained
aggregation of white-hOsed athletes
that have started an exhibition tour
for several years. Unless injuries
creep in between now and April II
the club will start the season with
an alignment that should go through
until October.

Square Garden last night JOie Ray,

ALUMNI AND HIGH
SCHOOL, QUIN1 CLASH
r.. FRIDAY FOR R. {.

Howard Palmer, a graduate of the
Bemidji High school, Is Of the opin-
ion that the former stars Of the bask-
etball armament are just the boys to
show the present basketball five of
the high school how the game Ia
played and the "old timers" have ar
ranged to give the demonstration
Friday night at 8 O'Clock at the ar
mory, and the fur will fly II the
high school quintet goes in to win.
Palmer has put together team of
alumni that would be hard for any
team in the state to beat. He's
landed Lloyd Tanner, who was placed
on the mythical all state team of
1915, also Plummer. Herbert War
field will be seen in an alumni suit
and Earl and Claude Bailey will
again don the jerseys. Then "Old
Hoss" Gainey will line up with the
ALTAR aggregation and 1t will, In all
probability, be the last time they will
all be together on the floor In Be-
midji as some of them are now stu
dents in colleges and universities.
The high school quintet looks fast
and Coach Jacobson says his boys
will give the former greats a run for
the long end of. the score.
The proceeds Of the game Will go
to the Red Cross chapter ard a big
crowd should be present. Here's the
way they will look when they face

will be ready and willing to help
persons subject to the income tax to
make out theirjreturns without any
cost to them for his services. - -.
IS: How many income tax payers will
there be in Bemidji? II one can

ing with wife or husband will have
net incomes of $500, or over and
how many unmarried persons Will
have net incomes of $1,000 or over

=, Returns Before March !.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms pro-
vided for the purpose before March l,
1918. Because many people do ont
understand the law and won't know
how to make out their returns, the
government is sending in this expert
to do it for them. But the duty Is
on the taxpayer to make himself
known to the government. II ne
doesn't make return as required be-
fore March l.; he may have to pay a
penalty ranging from $40 to-$1, 900,
pay a fine or go to Jail. So If q per-
son doesn't want to take q chance on
going to Jail. he had better call on
the Income tax man. II he Is not
sure about being subject to the tax,
better ask him and make sure.

OF course, persons resident in 9TH

Makes Suggestion.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his In
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert ar
rives. Expenses, however, don't mean
family expenses, money used to pay
off the principal of debt, new ma
chinery, buildings, or. anything like
that. They mean what one spends in
making money-interest, taxes paid
hired help, amount paid for goods
sold, seed, stock bought for feeding,
rent Except for dwelling), etc. In
come includes about every dollar one
gets. . --1
