odessa ball PLAYERS
ARE ON THE MARKET

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
ODESSA. Del, March AT a spe-
cial meeting of the Odessa Athletic
Club. held in the clubhouse the lat
ter part Of last week, it was decided
not TO put a baseball team on the
diamond the coming season. Not only
was this decision a severe blow to the
Odessa fans, but to the fans OF all OF
the surrounding towns who have ever
seen the local boys in action. But
this result was expected II was in
evitable. Although the fans tried to
keep up the grand old game it was
impossible, because everyone of the
boys who played baseball are at pres
ent working in Wilmington, Chester
or Philadelphia. In view OF the fact
that the players would rarely get
any practice, even il they could make
arrangements to be home on Satur-
days. II was thought best to tempo
rarlly disband the team until the
players are able to be at home, which
may never be.
The Odessa boys. who have always
been known for their clean sportsman
snip and gentlemanly manners on the
ball Held, arc sorry to see the team
disband. These boys all learned TO
play ball under the Odessa manage

of Manager Sparks that many Of the
players have az present an enviable

Outside Forces.

Although we have centered coun-
sci and action with such unusual con-
centration and success upon the
great problems Of domestic legisla-
ton to which we addressed ourselves
four years ago, other matters have
more and more forced themselves
upon our attention-matters lying
outside our own life as nation, and
over which we had no control; but
which, despite our wish to keep free
of them, have drawn US more and
more irresistibly into their own cur
rent and influence.
them. They have. affected the. life of
the whole world. They have shaken
men everywhere with a passion and
an apprehension they never knew
before. It has been hard to preserve
calm counsel while the thought of
our own people swayed this way and
that under their influence.
We are 8 composite people. We
are of the blood of all the nations
that are at war. The currents of
our thoughts, as well as the currens
of our trade, run quick at all sea-
sons back and forth between us and
them. The war inevitably set its
mark from the first alike upon our
minds, our industries, our commerce
our politics and our social action.
To be Indifferent to it or indepen-
dent of it was out of the question.
Deeply Wronged.
<And yet all the while we have been
conscious that were not part of it.
In that consciousness, despite many
divisions, we have drawn closer to-
gether. We have been deeply wrong
ed upon the seas, but we have not
wished to wrong or injure in return
have retained throughout the con-
sciousness of standing in some sort
apart, intent upon an interest that |
transcends the immediate issues of
the war itself. As some of the in
juries done US have become intoler-
able, we have still been clear that
we wished nothing for ourselves
that we were not ready to demand
for all mankind-fair dealing, JUS
tice, the freedom to live and be at
ease against organized wrong. |
It Is in this spirit and with this
thought that we have grown more
and more aware, more and more
certain, that the part we wished to
play was the part of those who mean
to vindicate and fortify peace. We
have been obliged to arm ourselves
10 make good our claim to a certain
minimum of right and Of freedom
Of action. We stand firm and in
armed neutrality since it seems that
in no other way we can demonstrate
what it is we insist upon and cannot
forego. We may even be drawn up,
by circumstances, not by our pur-
pose or desire, to more active as I
sertion of our tights as we see them
and q more immediate association
With the great struggle itself. But
nothing will alter our thought or ou:

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT
WOODROW WILSON
Speaks of the Great Problem. That
Face the Country, of 1t. Achieve.
ments in the Past Four Year. and
OF Its Splendid Future If the Poo.
pie Remain True to Their DUTY.

Following is the inaugural address
by President Wilson delivered on
Monday, March S:
my Fellow Citizens:
"The four years which have elaps-
ed since I last stood in this place
have been crowded with counsel and
action of the most vital interest and
consequence. Perhaps no equal per-
lod in our history has been so fruit
full of important reforms in our eco
nomic and industrial life or so full
of significant changes in the spirit
and purpose of our political action.
We have sought very thoughtfully
to set our house in order, correct
the grosser errors and abuses of our
industrial life, liberate and quicken
the processes of our national genius
and energy and lift our politics to
a broader view of the peoples essen
tial interests. 1t is a record of sin
gular variety and singular distinc-
ton. But I shall not attempt to re-
view it. 1t speaks for itself, and
will be of increasing influence as
the years 60 by. -.
This is not the time for retrospect.
It is time, rather, to speak our
thoughts and purposes. concerning
the present and the: immediate fu-
ture. :, 4 y

GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
 INDICTED ON 9 COUNTS
Seven Charges of MisappIication of State Funds-Three Other State Officials Hit in Indict- mentS.

Austin, Texas, July 27.-James E. Ferguson, governor of Texas, was in dicted on nine charges of felony by the grand jury of Travis county late today. The indictments were re- turned 3:30 o'clock, but were not made public until nearly o'clock, when Sheriff George s. Matthews notified the governor. Seven of the indictments charge misrepresentation of public funds, one diversion of pub lie funds and one embezzlement.
 Churchill J. Bartlett, secretary of state, was indicted on six counts, charging misapplication of funds. C. o. Austin, commissioner of insurance and banking, on five counts, same charge, and C. L. Stowe, state super intendent of buildings and grounds, on one count, charging misapplica- tion. Other indictments were re- turned but have not yet been made public. '.
 During the last half year, the gov ernor has been the center of a series of exciting incidents. It was only last Monday that Speaker F. o. Full Ter of the Texas House of Representa- tives called the House to meet in spe- cial session to consider whether ar ticles of impeachment should be pre- sented against the governor.
 In his call Fuller said that there were four matters to be considered at the special session, Aug. 1, most im- portant being the action of the gov ernor in vetoing the appropriations for the University of Texas, and all legged misrepresentations in awarding of the West Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College to Abilene. He added that there would be "other" charges to consider.
