be able to go to Augusta with the other
pitchers.
Reports from Cleveland are that Joe
Boehiing, former National. is preparing
for a big season. The Southpaw pitcher,
who was sent to the Indians with Dan
Moeller in the trade which brought
Elmer Smith and Joe Leonard to Wash
ington, started training last week,
when the American League schedule
was issued, with the idea of getting
into the best condition possible to help
in stopping Detroit, St Louis and Chi
cago, with which teams the Indians
have a lot of games at the start of the
season Joe has written in to club
headquarters that he is out to avenge
the wallopingS these teams gave him
last season, and that he will be ready
to pitch opening day if Foil should pick
him.
Boehling is a flrst-claSs pitcher. He
is capable of doing far better work than
his performances with Washington the
last two years he was here would in
dictate. II he has determined to buckle
down and pay strict attention to bust
ness he should be listed with the lead
ing fingers of the league this year,
with a team of the offensive strength
of Cleveland behind him. Boehling has
his full share Of natural ability. His
success depends upon whether he ad-
heres to his announced determination
to keep his mind on the game and
eschew social activities.

Immediately its own interests are at

Turkey, says the note, thus was
obliged to take UP arms for the de-

persuaded that this object has been
attained, the hostile powers being at
this time as far from the realization
of their plans as ever. For this very
reason. II is concluded, they nervously
decline the sincere proposition of the
central powers and deliberately take
upon themselves the responsibility
