LET FRESH|ES

Football Fans of the East
Want To See Game in
the Worst Way.

walter Camp said recently that one
thing which might stand IN the way
OF permitting freshmen football play
ers 20 carry through the varsity
schedules this fall would be the ques-
tion Of whether they could put mp the
kind Of game that would please the
ethical public.
II prompts US 20 ssk-Row many
football fans Of the thousands who
follow the game are critical enough

cent Of the followers Of football are
critical Many OF these fans have
played the game or have been so
closely connected with II that they

flaws. but the percentage Is small,
and rather than have no football. who
would rise 10 kick on the exhibition
thar two teams largely composed OF

Many Of the freshmen who step into
the big colleges have had experience
On prep school and small college
teams and know all OF the funda-
mentals Of the game. The stars from
footballs bush league" are grabbed
every fall by the big league" scouts
and some Of them would open the
eyes Of the public two years in ad~
get the chance 20 break into the big
league as members Of a varsity
eleven.
We say-Let the freshies play. by

About 2 Years Ago.

New York, y. y June 2s.-Umpire
Bill Byron. who Just now is in the
public eye a good deal got tripped
up in a game in st. Louis q couple
OF years ago in a way that still
causes a laugh, when he pulled his
stunt Of running" players to the
club house The story runs like this:
The game was going along so
smoothly that Byron had TO look for
an opportunity 70 cause some excite
ment He found it vnen some one on
the Cardinals bench made a casual
remark about strike or something
Byron wheeled around. looked to see
IL all the spectators we're at atten-
ton. and shouted AZ the top ~ his
voice:
Get out Of there Roche. I know
your voice To the clubhouse with
you"
Then Byron walked 10 the bench to
see that Roche got out"
About that time Roche, who hap
pened TO be coaching AZ first base all
the while, ambied over toward the
bench and asked sweetly:
did ] hear ny name called2 Did
you want 10 see me, Mr.. ByronT'
There was a roar from players and
stands. Byron stalked back TO his
position behind the plate-a1d prob
ably began TO sing.

Military Drills

Butts manual. squad
drills and routine march
ing are proving more
popular than baseball in
the eastern cities and
large crow ds are turning
out TO see their baseball
favorites 90 through
their daily military
training on the field
With one or two ex-
ceptions all Of the teams
OF the National and
American leagues were
given military training
in their southern camps
last spring. and Il is
certainly an Inspiring
sight to watch the broad
shouldered ath1e tes
swing their bats in lieu
OF arms and march
around the field
So popular was a re-
cent drin between the
New York Yankees and
St Louis Browns that
the sum Of $4,000 was
raised for the benefit OF
a regiment OF engineers
who will leave the
United States shortly for
the front.

DEMOCRATS LINE UP
FOR THAT PROVISION

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 2.-In
the House of Representatives yester-
day the section of the Revenue Bill
taxing insurance companies came in
for a big share Of the attack. II was
retained in the bill by vote OF III
to 1873, the Democrats voting solidly
to retain the tax and the Republi-
cans against doing so.
Congressman Miller, of Delaawre,
spoke in behalf OF amendments to ex-
empt mutual insurance companies.
he saying:
"Mr. Chairman, shall support the
amendments offered to sections geo
and POI OF this bill. as they relate
to insurance companies, because I
think any amendment that will per
form a legislative operation on this
bill is a good move and should be
adopted. Further, believe that the
first amendment. offered by the
gentleman from New Jersey (Mr.
Parker). exempting mutual insurance
companies is unassailable and one

mankind"
Which course he win choosa. no
one knows early today. The Presi-
dent himself shows plainly the effect
OF hours OF study and worry In at
tempting to md solution OF the
problem.
His conviction-often expressed--ls
that the fighting nations ARE seeing
red; that those governing the bell
heerent nations hava reached a pitch
Of frenzy where they are not re-
sponsible for the acts they do. AMI
| behind this thought lies his firm con-
viction that the people OF Germany
those back In the homes-do not
want war with the United States. and
J the people of the United States do
not want war with them.
Friends say IL was this conviction
that caused the President 10 stand
out against war with Germany In
the face OF much opposition even In
his own Cabinet, immed ately after
the sinking OF the Lusitania. At that
time he took the position that I'VE
must not act until We can act with
coolness."
The same conviction is believed to-
day 20 be the staying influence which
has caused a delay IN determining
upon a course OF action, which II Law
and logic were pursued TO the letter.
could mean at least break in rela-
tions between the United States and
Germany.
The conference between the Prssi~
dent and Senator stone this afternoom
promises TO be historic.
The last time they met under nini-
lar conditions was following the Bus-
sex sinking
Then there were plain ana strong
words.
The President declared thea that
II this country pursued it's diplomatic
course. the loss OF another Amerfs
can life as a result OF a u-boaf at
tack. friendly relations between the
