ED BARROW HAS HUNCH
He Thinks Minor Leagues VIII Have
Great Season.

New York, March 21.-Unless bad
weather intervenes and repeats the
playful stunts that gummed things up
couple of years ago, Ed Barrow,
president of the International league,
believes the coming baseball season
will be the most profitable the minor
leagues have enjoyed since the pros
porous days before Jim Gilmore and
his gang threw their famous monkey
wrench into the machinery.
Barrow today pointed out the COM
ing test of inter-league games between
the International league and the
American association. the publicity
that has been given to baseball during
the winter, and the settling down Of
the public to take baseball as it is
without arguing the merits of the
Federals as compared with organized
baseball.
81 didn't feel that last year would
be a good one Barrow said, land L
didn't say it would. I'm quite a bunch
player and I've got an awful strong
bunch right now that we've seen the
last of those awful days.
THE Inter-league series, I believe,
is something that hasn't been greatly
considered by the fans SO far, but
before it has been started there Will
be a tremendous amount of enthusi-

down, but he wants twenty rounds in
which to do it.
Over the tea cups-for Darcy in
sisted on serving tea and crullers-
Lester informed Kane that he thinks
his record is better than Gibbons's-
And he believes he should have the
long end of the purse when they met.
Just why he sees himself in the role of
a dictator in this country, in the face
of some chilly receptions he has re-
ceived, is something that goes over
our humble dome. But he does. He
probably forgets that Gibbons helped
prepare McGoorty, Clabby and others
for him. They were on the backward
path when Lester got them.
Gibbons His Match.
Yet with all his confidence, Lester
hesitates to take Gibbons on. and 1t
is the belief of a majority of boxing
critics now that Gibbons will give him
orders any time they meet in a ten
round bout. Michael will make him
lead, and Michael is a past master in
the art of pulling the other fellow out
and then beating him to- the punch.
In a twenty-round battle Darcy's
chances would undoubtedly be much
better.
That Gibbons can knock Darcy out
in ten rounds is doubtful. He might
accomplish it in a longer bout, but in
this case Darcy's chances would be
greater, too, and Darcy is reputedly a
wonderful mixer of jabs, crosses and
uppercuts.
Eventually Darcy will have to meet
Gibbons. And when he does it will
behoove him to take good care of
that ticklish point on his jaw, for
Gibbons is going to try his best to send

MIN with Gibbons by E. T. O'SuIlivan,
his canned manager. Pleas went for
naught- Darcy refused to fill the
April date, and Kane left with his
feathers dropping. But Darcy let the
kitten out of the poke as regards his
opinion of the Phantom.
Summing up Darcy's ideas of when
and where he should meet Gibbons,
we gather the impression that Lester
IS practically convinced that Michael
may make him look more like a black
smith than a boxer over the ten-round
route.
Afraid of Gibbons?
Darcy says he will meet Gibbons
when the time comes. But he wants
Mike ever the twenty-round route. He
will sign for ten-round bout with
Gibbons with the 1oviso that Michael

from this:
Darcy feels that Gibbons has some

1t was a Summer evening
The gunner's work did,
And he within a bomb proof cave
Was comfortably hid.
He said: "A thousand shells we spent:
don't know where the darn things went.
We shot them at the break of day
We shot them until noon.
We shot them in the setting sun
And underneath the moon.
But what the noise was all about
No man of us could well make out
I'VE shot a thousand shrapnel shells,
We shot them all the day,
We shot them over hills that doomed
mile or two away
We simply shot and shot and shot
And shot until the guns grew hot.

And watches every shot
Can tell us when we miss the mark
And when we hit the spot.
He tells where, he tells when
To pulveriZe a bunch of men.

And when the range is high,
He tells where and tells us how
But does not tell why.

r FEW DAYS GEE ARMY
 BILL LAW
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The war army bill probably will become law within the next few days and before the end of the week ;ae comprehensive plans for the war department for rais- ing a force to fight Germany will be in motion.
 Conferees of senate and house agreed upon the bill today deciding to retaln the senate amendment under which Colonel Roosevelt may be authorized to raise not more than four divisions Of infantry for service in France. The report will be taken up by the house probably tomorrow and it's adoption there is expected to be followed by final action in the senate.
 From congress the bill will go to the White House for the presidents sigma ture before it becomes a law. Although the administration opposes attaching any volunteer provision to the selec- tive draft plan, it is generally believed the president will sign the measure if it reaches the White House with the Roosevelt amendment in it.
 The bill as it stands merely would authorize, not require the recruiting of a volunteer force for service in France.
 President Wilson tonight began an
 effort to have congress speed up war legislation. At a White House con- ference with members of senate and house agriculture committees he em- phasized the imperative necessity for prompt action upon the food control | legislation the administration believes is essential to the conduct of the war. l No specific agreements were reached 1 but there were indications that the committeeman went away prepared to undertake early enactment of laws to prevent speculation in foods and to as- sure an equitable return to the pro-
 ducer and a fair price to the con- | sumer

 SAYS REV. KELLY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

RED OAK, Iowa, May 15-Attorneys defending Rev. Lynn George J. Kelly, who is charged with the octuple axe murder at Villisca, Iowa, in 1912 de- clared at a hearing here late today that they would attempt to have the counsel for the prosecution cited for contempt because of the publication this morning of what they declared to have been evidence brought before the grand jury in the case The prosecu- tion is being conducted by Attorney General H. M. Havener and County At torney Oscar Wenstrand.
 Following arguments at the hearing on an order issued when the indict- ment was returned on April 30 that the defendant be removed to Des Moines for safe keeping, District Judge E. B. Woodruff today modified his order to provide that Kelly be lodged in the Harrison county jail ae Logan, Iowa, until the time of the trial. It was thought probable that he would be taken to Logan tonight. No date was set for the trial
 Counsel for the defense protested against having Kelly taken to Des Moines on the grounds that proceed ings to adjudge him insane might be rushed through at the capital. They declared the attorney general could as semble the sanity board at Des Moines within a few hours and rush Kelly to an institution for the insane before a trial could be obtained
 In announcing that the defense would attempt to start contempt pro- ceedings against the counsel for the prosecution, A. L. Sutton, former dis trict judge of Omaha, Neb., who to- gether with Attorney w. E. Mitchell of Council Bluffs, Iowa, is representing Kelly, said that grand jury evidence appearing in morning papers today i could have been obtained from only two sources. He cited these sources as the county attorney or the attorney Igeneral, and said he did not hold tho 1 former responsible. He declared the

 The preamble refers to the letter of Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture to the president of the senate last month, in which he urged that his department be given authority to accomplish" certain stated purposes, and continues:
 "The appeal of the president and the letter of the secretary have an especial relation to meat products

The amount of the bill was S5,017.35.
