JEW YORK. March :. - The St

by most Of the critics They will be
long odds" for q first division finish
to any Of the sportive ones who want
TO back them, for on paper they are
one OF the weaker clubs in the senior
league.
But the status of any ball club
on paper and the capers it may cut
in n championship race are often
two vastly different things. The
Braves of 1914 furnished a vivid
example.
Miller Higgins and his athletes have
4 long, hard row to hoe in lettering
their position in National league COM
pany. They finished the season of
1916 tied with the Reds for the sub
cellar berth. They simply did not have
the punch after the first few weeks OF
the season. and their prospects for
1917 are none too brilliant
During the winter manager Hug
gins wore out more shoe leather
than any other National league
pilot in hunting for players But
HugEins WAS unsuccessful in pull
ing off any really big deals. for
rival managers would talk nothing
hut trades in which Huegins' hest
bets figured. and Hug could not
see himself parting with his stand
bys.
Much talk OF new ownership for the
Cards has been another drawback 10
Higgins, and. all in all, the scrappy
little leader Of the Mound City outfit
has had TO stand some discouraging
bumps from all directions. But Hug
gins is a fighter, and he is going out
this year to make a valiant attempt at
Installing real fighting spirit into his
players.

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 12.-.The Anvil
Ensenada's "slacker ship" with al
legged slackers and German agent!
aboard, slipped into San Diego harbol
early today.
Secret service men, police, customs
and immigration men met the vessel
The closest secrecy was maintained as
to the identity of those on board.
The Anvil was taken by United
States naval vessel off Ensenada as she
was making for the west coast of Mex
leo.
When the Anvil docked at the muni
cipal wharf, police lines were thrown
out and no one was allowed to approach
within 100 feet of the vessel United
States secret service men at once tool;
charge of the schooner and would not
even let city detectives aboard.
1t was evident the United States
agents feared some attempt to lib
crate the men. Plans were made to re-
move them singly under heavy guard
to the county Jail.
Newspapermen were told that the
names of those on board would not be
made public until informations had
been filed against them. They said this
might not be done today.

Stacker SHIP, ANVIL
REACHES SAN DIEGO
Secret Service Men Took
Charge and No One Allowed
to See Prisoners

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 1o.-The dock
ing of the "slacker ship" Anvil here
today brought two new sensations in
the melodramatic events which followed
her capture off Ensenada by United
States warship on Sunday.
One was the statement thar another
boatload of slackers escaped from Es-
enada on Saturday and are now being
chased by United States vessels.
The other was that United States Sc
cret service agents hope they have the
men on board the Anvil who are res
ponsible for the Mare Island explosion
when several were killed and great dam
age done.
The Anvil remained "ship of mys-
terry" today. Only two men have been
brought ashore. They are Roy Curtis,
said to have admitted he fled from Ok
lahoma to Mexico to escape the draft,
and Charles Millery, an alleged l. w. w.
leader. Both were locked in Jail. Other
slackers and alleged German agents are
being held on board, while a complete
is being made of each
one.

lions, was much smaller than anticipat
cd.
Although 20 to 80 per cent of the
corn, potato and bean crops in northern
Minnesota and Michigan is reported to
have been destroyed, Wisconsin, north
ern Illinois, northern Indiana and Ohio
were affected only in widely separated
areas. Corn and late garden truck in
Iowa was damaged to some extent, 1t
was said, and North and South Dakota
were hit by Sunday nights frost
No further damage is in immediate

casts warmer weather for this region.
