That HOrnsby or some other fine in
nelder is now wanting 10 turn the
Cubs into a pennant machine. They
may have the necessary man on the
way in the person Of young Hollocher
shoristop a graduate Of the same
school which produced Bancroft and a
few other luminaries. 10 might be a
great mistake for Weeghman TO be
flirting with big league innelders when
he has such a promising yOungster on
The way. Obviously an unspoiled
athlete, ready to listen 10 the Mitchell
idea of ball playing. he would NJ I'm
nicer with the Cubs than same
player already schooled and possessed
Of set notions.
Mitchell and Wceghman now have
the basis for a pcnnant winner. With
out further tinkering the club will
make a tremendous fight, but IL does
not look good enough 10 win without
additions The club is sadly In need
of a third baseman and a first base
man. Fred Merkle, a splendid bail
player. nevertheless is growing old in
the harness and can't have an overly
lot Of good baseball left in his system
Charley Deal does not measure up TO
the accepted standard Of big league
third baseman. There was a gap at
shortsiop, but this may be plugged UP
when Hollocher joins the club No one
doubts that Pete Kilduf is capable Of
filling at second base. Kilduff, as a
matter Of fact, represents one Of John
McGraw's greatest mistakes. He already
is a star. Trades involving him would
be mistakes for Weeghman, so there
is little use Of considering all exchange
with the little innelder involved.
The Cubs last year played smart
baseball under Fred Mitchells tutelage.
II they play that kind OF baseball next
season with their new array Of talent
IL is probable they will make the dust
thick for at least six pursuing clubs.

The inhabitants of Lethonia, one OF
the Russian border provinces seized
by the Germans under the Brest-L-
tovsk treaty, have addressed a formal
protest to all the nations of the
world against their fate.
After having. without result, adj
dressed themselves to the German
chancellor. they now. appeal to the
outside world in vehement protest
against their oppressors.
Through their national council the
Lethonians, in memorial received
here today, declare they do not want
to share the fate of Alsace-Lorraine,
but they have been overwhelmed by
the peace of the bolshevists, and have
fought to the extreme limit Of their
strength.
Against the treaty of Bres.-Litovsk
they protest because it dismembers
the territory of Lethonia; and is an
act of violence against the free will
of the people. They also denounce
the new landlord laws as purely Ger
man and in defiance. of the wishes Of
the LethonianS.

sidered by Grand Jury.

eral days ago that he killed Eva Roy
in the woods near her home at Burke
Station. Va, on August 6. is being
laid before a grand jury at Fairfax
Court House. Va, today by Common
wealth Attorney c. Vernon Ford. The
only evidence that Is known to exist
against Rubin is his own statement.

has no intention at the present time
of asking the court to quash the in
dictment which the grand jury re-
turned last week against Lou Hall,
the woodcutter, who has been in Jail
since the day after the murder. If
evidence is uncovered to support Ru-
bins confession. however, it is prob
able that the authorities will imme-
diately take steps to free Hall.
Rubin escaped from the District re-
formatory at Lorton, Va, several
weeks before the girl was killed. His
