NEW YORK. April 26. = Optional
agreements through releases to minor
league clubs by major league teams this
year probably will be fragrant.
Teams are not hanging onto recruits
with any great amount Of tenacity, but
they are intent on sewing up the prom
lsing ones in order TO nh up probable
holes as the draft or enlistment takes
men. The fact that fewer minor
leagues are kicking some over the re-
luctance Of the majors to release play

Veterans, as a rule. are being gavored
IN the big league teams makeup for
they are less liable 10 call for selec-
tive service. Big league managers are
wary Of the youth without family ties.
But whatever the makeup Of The
leans It Is a certainty that baseball
will be OF as much class this year as
IN former seasons. Teams which have
been hard hit through losses to the
army OF navy have done nobly In NIL
ing up. The case Of the Dodgers and
that Of the Indians are excellent ex-
amples Of what can be done in baseball

LACK OF TEMPERAMENT HELPS ED

i56-game schedule and played the first
three games in 1916.
Collins ability to play In this mum
Der OF games attests TO his wonderful
constitution as we'll as to the remarka-
Bile care he takes Of his health the year
around. He Is never IN and has not,
during the last few years suffered an
accident which would keep him out OF
a game. This is a tribute TO his great
natural ballplaylng abilities rather than
that he IS extremely careful on the
field Fact Is, Collins takes as many
chances as any player IN - game.
Many players lose effectiveness
through what they like TO call temper
ament This often causes them TO be
suspended by umpires, making them
miss games Collins does not know
what temperament is. Under all con-
ditions he Is cool and calm, and al
though he is usually the FIRST to crab

The Indians, while not quite so strong
as year ago, nevertheless win go
into the flag chase this year with a FIRST
division aggregation, one that Will be
well able TO hold its own.
The Dodgers were made up OF poor
material last year The draft and en-
ustmenls simply made them a little
worse. The lost Of Leon Cadore proba-
bly, was the heaviest blow, but the ac-
QUESTION Of All MamauX made up for
that. The trade which sent Cutshaw
and Stenge TO the Pirates also helped
in other ways until the draft came
along and derricked Chuck Ward But

system OF ealisihenlcs, des.g .gned to ex-
erclse practically every muscle and ligl-
ment in the body, as well as to bring
about flexibllity Of the body from foot

that consider the anatomy Of the human
body, the new settlng-up exercises have
worked wonderful results with the
thousands Of sailors at jamestown base.
where the system has been used several
months The various movements OF the
exercises have been adapted to musical

The exercises apply least TO the arms,
hands and legs. which are in general
use by the individual, but concentrate
more on developing and licking the
muscles and liglmenis Of the neck,
shoulders. chest. abdomen, spine and
hips. BY the system a sailor can stand
In the position OF attention while
entirely at ease and without the strain
that comes from standing In a rigid

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 20.-rhe
war attitude Of the Republican party
in Wisconsin remained in doubt today
while the ballots cast at yesterdays

With slightly more than half the pre-

Lenroot was hanging d0ggedly TO a
margin Of slightly more than POO votes

The ngures gave Lenr0ot 5000 and
Thompson. 5I,755.

that a majority Of the precincts not re-
ported lay In the northern counties be-
lieved TO be solid for their cand date.
To Offset this claim, the Thompson
men declared that the complete count

was running far ahead Of Lenroot, would
assure THOMPSON the nomination.

platform. has been nominated by the
Democrats, and Victor Berger, polling
the b avlest vote ever cast for a Social
ST. in a Wisconsin primary, has been
nominated by his party
The outstanding point Of interest de-
yelaped by the count thus far was the
seeming certainty that the combined
so-called loyal vO'e of LenrOOt ami

ceed the total vote cast for Victor
Berger and Thompson But the margin

admitted, TO make Ger ain the election
