After looking forward for weeks to
the opening OF the baseball season,
AfSiedom is praying for good weather
Friday and Saturday. when Oklahoma
-. n NJ. college meets the University
of Missouri diamond aggregation at
saltwater in the firse series in 1917.
Cold and windy weather of the past
few days has brought about much
conjecture as to the possibilities of
playing the Tiger games.
Wednesday afternoon Coach Grf-
fith's ballsters did not venture out in
the cold, but listened to a two-hour
chalk talk in a classroom that may be
the Thursdays program, too. With
the return of Walters, who has been
off duty for ten days on account of n
sprainked ankle, the varsity squad
is again intact 1t is likely that -
or II men will be used against the
Missourans in each of the games.
Many shifts are also contemplated.
Netheron behind the bat is the only
fixture. Doubtless all four of the
pitchers, Murray, Hale, Gay and Rob-
'nson will be put into action Aycock
and Hickman will alternate at the
first sack, Scott and Wilber will be

BRISTOW. Okla, April : The re

is still the president.
The "constitutionalists," now active
in south China, under the direction OF
Sun Yat- sen, have contested every I'M
portant change in the central govern
ment during the last few months, and
denounced it as unconstitutional. They
say Ii Yuan hung had no right to dis
solve parliament, and that there GER
tainly is nothing in the Marking pro-
visional constitution which justified
such action.
Consequently, according to their
line of reasoning. Feng Kuo-chang is
neither the legal president nor the le-
gal acting president Of China.
There is some doubt as to what Feng
kuo -chang's own contention is as to
his legal status. While he has per
mitted all foreign legations to be pre-
sented to hi mas president and signs
official doucments as president, he is
represented to provincial authorities
as being only acting president. 1t is
believed that Feng Kuo-chang is un-
ioubtedly anxious to be elected pres
ldent by a parliament legally consti-
,Ited, or constituted as legally as it is
possible to do so under the present
conditions in China. He has
leld out against the plan of his cab
net to have national council formed

nee, to act as parliament.

ARMY CHANGES PREDICTED.
FAaelng Of Gen. Scout On Russian
Commission Apparently Bears Out
RumOrs.

washington, May 13.-Dispatch of
MAJ. Gen. Hugh Il Scott to Russia, as
a. member of the special diplomatic
mirsion, headed by former Secretary
of State Elihu Root, is complimentary
to the great Mdscovite republic. Gen.
Scott is chief of staff of the army.
| At the same time, the decision to
send Gen. Scott also indicates that in
the opinion of the president and the
secretary of war and their military
advisers it is not a military necessity
that the present chief of staff remain
at his post.
This is no reflection upon a soldier
who is to reach the age retirement
in few months. 1t is no reflection
upon Joffre that the marshal OF
France can be spared, after having
done his work in the field SO brilliant.
ly when his test came, now that the
active direction of the campaigns are
in the hands Of younger men.
The designation of Gen. Scott as a
member of the Russian mission to q
certain extent bears out the rumors
prevalent a few weeks ago, and then
denied. that he would give way as war
chief Of the army to a younger gen.
eral. At the moment the justification
OF the rumor is technically small, in
that Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, who
will become chief Of staff on Gen.
Scott's departure. is only l. few months
younger than the present chief But
the same rumors have II that in a
short time some other important work
will be found for Gen. Bliss. next 10
whom comes Gen. John J. Pershing
the young major general who was in
command of our troops on the border
when the Mexican trouble was at its
height.
Admirers of Gen. Pershing can see
him at the head Of Uncle SANS war
farmy in the near future. 1t may be
that they are only assuming from the
circumstances that he is to be the
chief. There is whisper that a sur
prise ID in store, and that Brig. Gen.
Joseph e. Kuhn. now president of
the Army War College here. and not
long returned from Berlin as Ameri-
can military attache, is in the minds
Of the experts whose advice now dom.
mates In Washington. Gen. Kuhn be-
longs to the engineer corps. as does
Marshal Jofrre, and as did Robert 4.
Lee. There Isl something remarkable
In the way the engineer officers come
