ABILITY and a punch. The suburbs
need not worry Mitchell.
Need Another southpaw.
What the Cubs need in pitching is
a reliable southpaw to work with Big
Jim Vaughn, the husky who has won
five straight games from the Brook
lyn Superbas this year. Vaughn is a
tireless sort OF person and should be
as good next year as he is this year.
but the Cubs should furnish a part
ner to give him aid and comfort.
Chicago experts say Claude Hen

last Wednesday, is better right now
than he has ever been, and will be
still better. They add that Shutting

who has been behaving nicely and
winning regularly this year. is due
to be at the top of his form next sea-
son. Mike Prendergast. riEht-hander,
has been carefully nursed along by
Mitchell, who saw possibilities in
him, and Mitchell counts on him for
the next campaign, but he will have
to show something more than he has
before the rest OF the country will
regard him as seriously as does Chi
cago.
Has Pitching Nucleus.
In Hendrix. Douglas. and Prender-
CAST, Mitchell has a nucleus for a
strong stan OF right-handers, and Jim
Vaughn is a whole staff OF southpaws
in himself. More right-handers and
another southpaw or so will have to
be dug up. probably in the bush.
Rowdy Elliott is catching nrst-cIass
ball for the Cubs, but Art Wilson is
not highly esteemed, and one of
chores will be to fnd
catcher to help Elliott. He seems to
have overlooked Ernest KreuEer. who
was picked up by Brooklyn from New
York on waivers
On the whole. the Cubs. albeit their
present standing is no higher than
NTH place, have bright prospects for
1918, and they will be even brighter
II Mitchell has a reasonable degre of
luck with his minor league drafting. |
Paul (NickD Carter, the right |
handed pitcher OF the Cubs, has been |
left out of the above calculation for |
the reason that he is almost sure to |
be drafted into the army.

BOD|E MAKES GOOD
+. FOR MACK'S TEAM,
OFFERING PUZZLE
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER-

How Francisco Pizzola ever got out
OF the American League is one puzzle.
How everybody but Connie Mack
let him stay on the Pacific coast is
another.
Nobody knows the answer to the
| first one. Connie knows the answer
| to the second, but he won't tell.
But Ping Bodie, for Francisco Piz-
zola Is none other. is back in the big
show to stay awhile. indeed, today
he is the most popular of all the
Mackmen at Shibe Park and he is one
of the most valuable of Comics play
ers.
An AIl-ArOund Player.
Bodie is an outnelder. But that
doesn't stop him from trying his hand
at otehr places. For instance. a few
weeks ago, "Stuffy" McInnIs ate some
punk fish or something and became III.
For three days the redoubtable Ping
held down nrst base in good style.
thus adding to his popularity with the
rooters at Shibe Park.
At New York Ray Bates, the big
third-sacker, was injured and so in
came Ping again. this time stopping
at third base and holding Up the
strength of the inneld.
The real answer to this situation Is
that Ping Bodis is q real ball player
and isn't afraid to take a chance.
More In Minors.
No matter what some managers say
about IL, there are several players now
In the minor leagues of the highest
class who are good enough to hold
berths in the majors The answer Is
that major league baseball is not as
fast as it was before the Federal
League came into the feld.
Run over the National League
teams. for instance. and you will see !
that Paddy Livingston, the man of !
many children, Is catching for the |
Cardinals; Rollie Zeider, OF bunIon |
fame, is a regular with the Cubs.
"Gavvy" Cravath is the Phillies' right
fielder; Bill Ropf. turned down by
Connie Mack, IL Matty's regular short
stop In Cincinnati. and DaVy Shean II
the second baseman: Bill Hinchman, a
million years old, plays left field for
the Pirates; Mike Mowrey, whose
bones creak. holds down third for the
Brooklyn champions, with Jack
Coombs among Robby's twirlers.
Davis . Pinch Hitter.
Only q few weeks ago Harry Davis
went to bat in q pinch for the Mack
men. Ward Miller. a veteran. is still
with the st. Louis Browns. So Is Bob
Groom
Terry Turner Is the Indians reg
llar third baseman. Oscar StanaKe
manages to get into the Tigers line
Ip regularly.
On the whole, though, the American
League teams have younger players
han have their rivals in tn. TensI

Fred Sherry. who pitched a few
games for Jimmy McAleer in 1911, has
been accepted for the new national

the whole truth in connection with
Greener's sudden leave from his bat
Italian headquarters at Aldershot, in

The irresistible lure OF the great
war which called the deserter from a

appear before a court-martial, again
at Aldershot. just 21 years and three
days after he was officially reported
missing on the barracks room bulle-

death. but this court-martial had only

DROPS DEAD IN SALOON
Unknown Man Dies After Taking Scat at Table in Main Street Saloon- Heart Failure Responsible.

An unidentified stranger, aged about 50 years, expired suddenly in John Mikalauska's saloon at 323 Main street shortly before Il o'clock this morning. of heart disease. Who the deceased is, or where he came from. has not been determined on. The stranger has been rooming with Mrs LaFlamme in the Stanley building for the past two weeks, paying his rent in advance. He appeared to be a working man although he was about the premises so frequently during the past few days, that indications are he was unem mployed Early this morning Mrs. LaFlamme spoke to the stranger, who informed her that he was not feeling well, and she ad- yised that he go to the hospital.
 Crossing the street, he entered the cafe, where he went directly to a chair in tn rear of the place. As he sat down he emitted a Groan, grasped at his heart and dropped dead. Charles Sedervall and August John son who were working about the place. rushed to his side, thinking he was i'll and immediately summoned Dr. J. T.. Kelly, who found the man dead Later Medical Examiner H. A. Flcock examined the body and gave the cause of death as heart trouble.

UP TO CONGRESS.

President Wilson's determination to iity to use the forces of the United States to protect American rights on the high seas came before the sink ing of the Cunard Liner Laconia in the war zone.
 Until further developments there can be no satisfactory knowledge which will show that the sinking of the Laconia constitutes the overt act that will plunge this country into war with Germany. There were American passengers on board. and late advices state the ship was sunk without warning. President Wilson Is asking Congress to protect American rights because of the series of depre- dations committed since the new or der of submarine warfare went into effect on February 1. The Laconia will not be mentioned today
 If there will be war it remains with Congress to declare war. That body possesses the sole power to carry out such action. The Presi. dents purpose today, however, is not to ask Congress to declare war, nor even to suggest such a thing. He merely wants power to arm merchant vessels which must go into the war zone. That our commerce may not be destroyed by the decree of Germany President, Wilson would have every ship that leaves an merican port Tor Europe armed with worthy guns. If these guns cannot be obtained in suf- ficient quantity, he would send United States warships to act as conveys to unarmed American vessels. l
 It was 8 strange coincidence that news of the sinking of the Laconia should be flashed over the wire at the same moment that President Wilson started for the Capitol. The psycholo- gical effect of such happening can- not be underrated. Congress will fully realize the import of the moment. It's iheiii"SiS VIII uWeil on every WOrd uttered by the President. For Con- gress will now know that a United Nation watches it's every action and that the future safety and honor of the country are in it's hands Congress, and not the President, has the power to declare war. Congress, and not the President, has the money to ap- propriate for defense of American rights It is therefore up to Congress to do as the people wish And there must be do backing down.
