AN oRAToRICAL DRIVE?

~ HE Portland Oregonian
VI seems of the opinion that
the most important mill
tary move this country can
make will consist somehow in
making use of Theodore Roose-
velt's reputation. The Port
land paper wants to know why
Roosevelt should not be sent to
Europe with credentials to
speak for President Wilson and
for America.
Wonderful strategy. But
with such big war why send
only one speaker? What rea-
son exists why Billy Sunday
should not be given a chance /;
why overlook the gentleman
from Nebraska if we are going
in for oratory?

If the bonds are voted
cur macadam highway to the
state line will be surfaced by
the state Immediately. at a cost
of approximately $500.000
we will secure in the future
other work of great value to
the county.

county will consist in payment

3-We will have to pay this
same auto license and the same

In other words we must bear
the expense whether we get

FIFTY CANDIDATES ON

Spring Practice Is Inaugurateh at

Chapel Hill. March 6.--More than
fifty candidates have been out eacf
day this week for the spring football
practice, and a considerable amount
of interest in the game has been man
Tested. This number does net In
clude many members of the varsity
squad who are busy now with other
sports. An unusually large num' er oil
freshment has been out, many' o.
whom have never played football be-
fore. Scrimmages of light nature
will probably be held the coming
week. Practice is being given in quick
starting, tackling, handling tho bar
and other features of the game.
Coach Daniel has called for Candi-
dates for the freshman baseball team.
with more than forty responses SO
far. The first afternoon of practice
brought out brilliant array of uni
forms from about thirty different
high and preparatory schools. From
early practice 1t may be inferred that
the batting ability OF the first year
men will be high. Two squaos OF
hitters and fielders are kept At work
No less than four candidates have ap-
piled for each position, so the com
petition will be unusually keen.
A special baseball schedule will be
arranged for the freshmen, as was
done in football. and they will have
special coaching, as the one yea rule
applies in baseball Many OF The ~an-
didates out have made names for
themselves in the preparatory schools
from which they came.

EXPECT COCO MATCH
NEXT FRIDAY LIGHT
Ivrn Ltnow and Youssif Hussnne Are
Booked to Grarpsc In the Academy

There Is every reason to expect that
Ivan Linow. the "Cossack Giant" and
Youssif Hussane the Terrible Turk, ="
will set hurricane clip from start TO
finish when the get together in their
finish wrestling match in the Academy
of Music Friday night. Linow and
Hussane are natural enemies because
of race prejudice. Linow has rela-
tives in the czar's famous Cossack
cavalry. which is now engaged in rid
ing down the Turks In the fighting in
the Ottoman empire, while HI ne
has kinsmen who are seeing TO 1t
that the Nicholas legions do not reach
long sought Constantinople and the
Mosphorus. This mutual hatred Is
certain to be intensified as the men
warm up to their work on the mat
here. and once both men are fully
aroused. there is not telling what may
happen The first one to commit an
overt act" liz pretty apt to receive re-
ta'iation in kind from the other.
Hussane and Linow are both high
strung. hair-trigger men, as demon
strated in their matches with "Strang-
Ter" Lewis here, and the wrestling
fans are looking for a peach of a mill.
II Is safe TO say that no match pull
ed off here in the past two years has
attracted more attention than this
event. and there is every indication
that the I'd will not he disa ppoint-

ponent who claimed allegiance to a

great war, he knocked him out before
the referee had chance to interfere.

RICHMOND EXPECTS TO
LAND PITCHER MARTIN
Petersburg Is Attempting Trade Jimmie Poole For Star
Hurer Whose Services Are Sought by Vrginians.
Toronto Also After Portland Tvirler.

1t developed yesterday that George
Martin. leading pitcher in the New
england and Eastern leagues during
the seasons Of 1915 and 1915, respec-
lively. whom Richmond is trying to
sign, Is also being sought by the Pc
tersburg club. of the Virginia State
league. According to story sent out
yesterday from the Cockade City, the
Gooher management is making an ef-
fort to trade Jim Poole. the elongated
portsider to Portland club for Martin.
ana 1t is said that negotiations have
been going on for some tine.
Whether this deal between Peters,
burg and Portland will be consum-
mated Ia purely a matter of conjecture.
Martin claims that he is a free agent.
and can sign contract with whom he
pieases. In reply to letter written
by President Alvin NJ Smith. Of the
Richmond Exhibition company. the
manager of the Portland club substau-
tiates Martins statement. declaring
that the hurler signed contract with
the reserve clause eliminated.
Richmond has been seeking this
pitcher throughout the winter months
and so has the Toronto club. Both
of the clubs are said to have made the
hurler fattering offers, but according
TO letter written to President Smith
by the pitcher himself he will place
his signature to n local contract. In
the issue OF Sporting News two weeks
ago ii was stated that Martin had &C
cepted terms with the Canadian club.
but A letter asking that contract be
sent him was written to the Richmond
club since that time.

purchase of Joe Wood by the Cleve-
land club, which paid 81 0.000 for the
crack pitcher of the Red Sox. Wooc
promptly signed a contract ami will
go at orce to the Indians training
camp. Speaker has maintained for
more than q year that Wood has not
lost his skill. Wood and Speaker
were close friends when they helped
the Red Sox to win the worlds cham
pionship in 1912. The engagement o
Wood, therefore. was the result OF
Speakers pleadings, If Wood comes
back with the effectiveness that once
made him the best pitcher In the
American league, the Clevelanders
will be more dangerous than they
were last season. But il must ne re-
lem bered that Wood has not pitched
a game since 1915, which may be a
serious handicap. In that even.
Speakers advice will have cost about
