Musicians have been inspired By
dreams, but not all by so terrifying a
dream as that which came to Guiseppl

compelled him to play the violin. BE

had been playing in his dream still
ringing in his ears. He sat down and

BY PAUL PURMAN

Early this spring, while the ball
clubs were still in their training camps
l ventured a prediction that the st.
Louis Browns would have to be SER
iously considered in the 1917 Amerl-
can league race
At least three managers in the cir.
cut took exception to this prediction,
figuring the Browns could not possibly
finish in the first division.
Since that time | have watched the
Browns successfully maui the teams
of two of these managers and expect
to see the performances repeated on
the outfit representing the third be.
fore very long
At the time the Browns were at
Palestine they did not look like a great
ball club. They don't now, but they
look like winning ball club, which
in the long run is just as good.
The club is made up of hetro'
genous combination Of ballplayers, a
few great ones, few mediocre, some
rockies, some players who had been
turned back to the minors as not good
enough for other clubs, nodded into
an organization which is now playing
about the fastest and brainiest game in
the league.
There's no secret about 1t, but the
answer is Fielder Jones.
Jones IS a peculiar chap. He is
gloomy by nature and crouch by Gull
tivation lie is upstage. He is not
at all IL. -. His ballplayers don't
like him, bu they respect him and
they worE Tor him, and that's all he
cares about.
There's no secret to Jones success.
He has baseball brains and he gets
results. His men play brainy baseball
because he furnishes the strategy.
He is uncanny with pitchers and 917
will give him at least two great pitch
ers, Sothoron, the Coast league iron
man, and Tom Rogers, from the South
ern association.
Last season the Browns looked
hopeless, but Jones started a drive in
July which landed them in fifth place,
rs points behind the winning Boston
Red Sox,
Jones started his drive in April this
year and he's been winning pretty
consistently from Chicago, Detroit and
Cleveland, three of the hardest clubs in
the league to beat.
Take a quiet tip. Watch Fielder
Jones and his Browns. It's our guess
that he'll be there or Whereabouts when
the curtain drops in october.

tBy Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22. - With
 the opening of the officers reserve
 training camp here at the Presidio,
 the government military reservation,
 scores of athletes prominent in all
 branches of sport in the west are
 treading the drill field instead of the
 cinder path, and handling rifles in- stead of shot and hammer. The
 prompt response made by athletes to the call of the nation has been the subject of much favorable comment, and the long list of these men in cluded in the roster precludes men, ton of more than mere group of the more prominent. Among these are:
 Thomas J. Drisco1l, best goal scorer at polo on the Pacific coast; Arthur ETb, Californias greatest rugby half back; Samuel Adair, captain of the University of California varsity base ball team this year, and considered the best outfielder over produced by the Blue and Gold; Herbert Cheek. University of California hurler, who won his event in the dual meet against the University of California; Wend
 ell Kuhn. Princeton hockey player. and next to Hobet Baker, his team. mate, considered the best amateur player of the game: Edward Kester, Stanford's star rugby forward; James flanagan, considered Stanfords best football coach, both in the American and English games; Johnnie Parsons, half-back of the University of Oregon football team for four years, and picked as we'll as the all-western star of the 1916 season in that position: Martin Hawkins. member of the Olympic team and University of Ore gon hurler on the team of 1911; Geo. w. Fish, former University of Cali fornia rugby star; George Hjelte, best player of the University of Harry Maloney, athletic coach at Stanford; Felton Elkins, of the San Mateo polo team; Charles E. Sullon for three years a member of the University of California crew; Bertram Cadwallader, former Stanford football player, and now one of the best weight throwers in the Olympic Club of San Francisco; Harry H. Pearce, secretary of the Portland, Ore gon, Golf Club; Earl R. Crebbs, mem Der of the Portland, Oregon Hunt Club; Russell Smith, Northwest Golf champion; and R. P. Tisdale, star golfer of the Waverly Club.
 All branches of the service have picked up their quota of athletes and there is scarcely any department of the army or navy where these men are not to be found earnestly working
 to do their bit" in the national crisis.

AUSTRALIA WANTS COALITION

(By Associated press)

SYDNEY, Australia, May 22. - Abolition of the present system of state governorships appointments by the British government for each of the six Australian states - are likely to be initiated by the present national or coalition government of New South Wales It is thought that with the retirement of the present in cumbent in this state, Sir Gerald Strickland, the time will be opportune for moving against a system which has been growing in unpopularity for some years past throughout the com. monwealth. Should New South Wales, the oldest state, succeeded in representations to the colonial office to this end it is considered that the abolition of the post would be extend ed to the other states without ,.aues- tion.
