There will be need for a larger
number Of persons expert in the
various fields of applied science than
ever before. Such persons will be
needed both during the war and after
larly urge upon the young people who
are leaving our high schools that as
many OF them as can do so avail them
selves this year Of the opportunities
offered by the colleges and technical
schools. to the end that the country
may not lack an adequate supply OF
trained men and women"
Secretary of War Baker
Let the young men Of America
devote themselves to the various
branches Of engineering education.
so that when this war is over the
call will not be in vain to young men
who have had the training and have
learned the lessons necessary to
enable them quickly and rapidly to
play part in that great reconstruc-
ton enterprise"
General VIM NJ Black.
Chief of Engineers. u. S. Army
This cataclysm Of war must not be
allowed TO disorganize our structure

we are needing it today will be
trained young men to take the place
Of the older who go OUT
Major General Leonard Wood
Boys should remember that they

The Cinch Disadvantage

Starting n campaign as a Cinch deleGa-
ton is a disadvantage from the jump. You
say II ought to inspire confidence. It is
more than likely TO promote over-confi-
denCe
No matter where the Giants turned, they
read blazing dispatches awarding them the
pennant in advance. No matter how they
might try TO guard against this insidious
propaganda, a goodly part Of it must have
sunk into their manly bosoms. They could
not help absorbing some of It as a psyche
logical law.
Last fall, with their present lineup at
work they peeled off twenty-sx straight
victories
This spring they looked equally strong
Who was to stop them? Apparently no one
But the fact remains that, at the end Of the
first week in June, they were not in first
place
1t must be admitted that the Giants are
still pennant favorites They OUGHT to
win.
But It is no CINCI that they will. They
have n fine ball club But It isn't a ball
club with any overpowering force once
back home, they face a matter of ten or
twelve double-headers. Suppose the pitch
ing staff isn't just right along this stretch?
Suppose it caves in as it did over two long

NEW MAJOR LEAGUE TALK
Four American Association Teams Elk
pect to Be Members

MILWAUKEE,. June 11.-There has been
so much talk going around the American
Association circuit about a third major
league that the fans are rather anxious to
know Just what cities are to be included
and what will become Of the clubs that are
dropped.
President Timme. of the local club, says
that when the talk was started several com.
binations were proposed The largest cities
OF the two leagues are to be given prefer
ence. From the association Milwaukee
Kansas City, Indianapolis and Toledo will
be the teams that will make up the western
end of the third major, This would elmi-
nate Minneapolis ST. Paul, Louisville and
Columbus Louisville would be turned over
10 the Southern League, while the chances
are the Western League would be reor-
ganlzed and would take in the Twin Cities
Just what disposition would be made OF
Columbus was not determined.
In the East, Baltimore, Toronto, Roches
ter and possibly Newark would be the cities
chosen.

gram Of varied events is announced.

ciety Of their participation.
The parade will move at o'clock and

Franklin Field at the northwest gate, will
turn to the right and encrcle the field until
in front Of the north stand where 1t Will
be faced to the south and halted

while all grotesque form Of costume and
performance have been prohibited, 1t Is
strongly urged that classes strive for uni
formity by wearing dark coats and white

with three flags or banners mentioned above
and that particular attention he paid 20
furnishing music Of n martial character.

do not secure their tickets in advance there
will be canvassers at the quadrangle with
tickets.

FOHL SAYS INDIANS
MUST BE CONSIDERED
Cleveland Manager Has an Idea
That Hitting Stars Will Pull
His Team Through

NlsN 1OlNN, June L.
Lee Fohl manager Of the Cleveland In
dians. unlike rival managers in the Ameri-
can League who have expressed their feel
ings on the subject believes in artillery.
Fohl has an idea that tickle favor for
victory is on the side with the biggest guns.
So, pointing TO Iris Speaker, Wambsganss
Chairman and others. Fohl announces he is
going to have something TO say about this
pennant fight for little while more anyhow.
He also places a great deal Of dependence in
his kid pitchers, combining their strength
with the probable return to form of Joe
Wood and Guy Morton.
Morton has proved he has something left
Of his old skill but Wood is still as much
of a mystery as he was six months ago.
He has started once and was beaten, al
though he hurled nicely against the Yankees.
Continuous warm weather will make a
big difference in Wood" said Fohl. IF he
shows us anything We will cut a figure in
the pennant fight"

TT WAS all very we'll TO enter the Giants

paign. No other advance verdict could have
been rendered under the laws Of the pure

The mistake was made In entering afore-
said Giants as certain winners, sure-thing
champions or pennant cinches,
Baseball knows no cinches. II was

Chief Bender Pitches
for Upland

TNHE first trouble of the season In the
i Main Line League occurred on Saturday
In the game between Autocar and Narberth.
The former was leading in the ninth, to B.,
when Umpire Jones ordered First Baseman
Tip Turner out Of the contest An argu-
ment followed. and the official forfeited the
contest TO Autocar, 90. Tho pennant Of
the first half of the season depended in n
large measure on the result of the match.
Autocar had only sustained one previous
defeat and that at the hands of Narhorth,
so. Considerable interest was Centered
In the battle, and Fred Blum secured re-
venge,' for he had Narberth shut out until
the eighth, when It registered n cluster of
three runs.
In another game in the Main Line League
Pitcher Knox Mayer of Wayne, shut out
Berwyn. SO, not allowing his opponents
the slightest sembance of hit and thereby
entering the hall of fame.
