The transfer of Alexander and Kill

have been for many years, while the
Phillies will suffer correspondingly
One new manager will be found in
the National league ranks, Jack Hen

ways been successful in the minor
leagues, but that cannot be taken as
criterion of what he will do in the

The following outlines show how
National league clubs start the sea-
son: as
The Giants-John McGraw will start
the season with practically the same
team he won with last year. His big
problem will be at second and the
success of the club depends great
deal on Doylc's ability to stage
comeback. There has been some talk
of Robertson quitting baseball but it
is likely the temperamental Dave will
be in the harness. The Giants should
be at or, near the top all season.
The Phillies-Moran will be lucky

His pitching staff has been wrecked
Wy the sale of Alexander and the en-
listment of Rixey, and his catching
staff demoralized by, the sale of Kille-
fer. Moran is plugger who gets
the most out Of his material, but the
loss Of his pitchers is likely to entail
the loss of about 80 games more than
were lost last season.
The Reds-This club was scarcely
touched by enlistments or by the
draft The same hard hitting aggre-
cation which Matty piloted last year
should be able to give the Giants a
fight all season. There have been
no additions of consequence to the
club.

be seen.

has been given a reconstructed pitch

cradle lossesll The addition of Alex

last month to destroy half the yard,
featured today's hearing Of the senate
ship Investigating committee. ~
Mr. GOodenuOugh, who's $4,000 4
year salary frequently has been under
fire before the committee, told the
senators he did not believe his sal
airy was excessive if his services were
accepted as satisfactory. He also de-
Tended salaries of other employees and
in that connection Senator Nelson, of
priced officials at Hog Island formerly
were in the junk business in Mime
apolis at low pay.
Couldn't Earn 500
To support his assertion the SEN
atOr read letters from persons in
Minneapolis. One, written by F. T. Alb
bolt, civil engineer, said that Leo
Harris, now receiving 1925 a month at
Hog Island, could not go back to
Minneapolis and earn 500 month
Harris, the letter said, formerly was
employed by his father in the junk
business.
After explaining the building of the
Hog Island yard, Mr.. Goodenough,
who was on the stand three hours, de-
Tended the fabricated ship policy. He
said the International American Ship
building Corporation is saving the gov
eminent large sums by letting con-
tracts for fabricated ship plates to
middle western steel plants at from
IS to Sc ton less than eastern plants
asked.
Two hundred and forty-five pounds
of the explosive were found at differ
ent times last month, he said, and
only recently twenty pounds were dis
covered in one place in the plant. An
investigation is now being made by
government agents, he added.
Mr. Kennedy caused much surprise
among committee members by the
statement that the recent 20 percent
advance allowed by the wage adjust
ment board to ship workers on the
Delaware is retroactive to last Nov
ember Is, and to last January Is for
men engaged in building shipyards.

fewer and less complicated trades

Nevertheless the situation is far
