Last season Alexander won seven
and lost one game in combat with
Chicago. This year he will pitch for
Chicago against the Phillies. That
gives YOU a basis for doing some
thinking.
The Phillies are a shot to pieces
team which was great only in the
sense that it possessed Alexander and
Killifer. 1t sold them and now it is
up to Moran to prove his contention
that the team was good even without
them.
Cleveland is a team that had Won
derfu1 possibilities team that has
doomed formidable on paper and faded
out on the ball field. Philadelphia is
team that never has looked good
on paper and which has, under the
Moran regime, been stronger on the
field than in the dope.
THE PHILLIES
In military service, 8.
Liable to immediate call, 5.
Fat Moran is a great manager, an
underestimated manager, a manager
who has taken mediocre material and
that cost twice as much and figured
much higher.
Too much of Moran's success has
been ascribed to the fact that he
had great pitcher who could win
two out of three games he pitched
without much effort. The team has
been figured for three years as Alex
ander and fKillifer, aided by mediocre
crowd.
Undoubtedly it was a. mediocre
crowd, but it had punch. The punch
has consisted largely in two men-Lu
derus and Cravath, who when they hit
together managed to bang home
CROUCH runs for Alexander to win. The
the 500 mark and the winning per-
centage has been Alexander's.
Moran has great shortstop, one OF
the best, and he had (and may still
have) one Whitfield, an outfielder who
never has been rated as a star, but
who is one of the smartest and best
ortfielders in the business and man
of infinite value to a ball club be-
cause he possesses brains
FIFTH PLACE TEAM
These elements have spelled success
under Moran's clever handling of the
pitching staff. The problem now is:
Can Moran, with his star pitcher and
catcher gone, with his best outfielder'
and smartest lieutenant alienated, keep
his team in the race? If he can make
the Phillies finish fifth or better this
season he ought to have a cross of
honor and be rated the best manager
OF them all.
There is not much left of the Phil
adelphia ball club. In Philadelphia the

Nel0 International League Is Being Organized
Corbett's Daily Letter
On Great Sport Topics

| BY JAMES
(Note: This is the fortieth chapter OF
a series of articles which Mr. Corbett is
writing on John l.. AS l Knew Him.
1t relates many heretofore unpublished
incidents in the life of the great war
rior. The next installment will appear
tomorpow.)
Champions come and champions go, but
never will there be another who was
.lcved so genuinely by a sporting public
as was John L. Sullivan. No beaten
fighter in the entire history of pugilism
ever was given an ovation such as was
rendered the mighty warrior on the night
lin New Orleans when he suffered the
first and only defeat in his spectacular
career.
| When my final right-hander sent John
| Il. down for the long count cheers broke
forth. They were for me- Friends of
mine in the audience were widest in the
outburst but even, the staunchest of the
sullivan admirers joined in the chorus
that hailed me as the new champion. 1t
I was striking evidence of the fairness of
| fight fans.
Hardly had the referee touched me on
. the back in token of my victory than l
rushed over to where John l., was lying
| on the floor. He was not unconscious,
but was dazed and physically helpless,
| With John Las seconds, l helped to lift
him up and to carry him back to his
corner. We placed him in chair and
John LIS handlers began working over
/ him so as to restore his weakened ply
steal powers.
! Even in that moment of my wild JOY
over having battered my way to the abb
solute pinnacle of puglism, / couldn't
help but feel a wave of sympathy surg
ing through me for John u. The king
of pugilism had been dethronedl The idol
| of my boyhood sat before me, beaten.

strument that brought 1t about. Some

Moley stated at the end of yester-
days practice that he had never seen
bunch of ball players work as hard
and as willingly as the crew now on
the Baron roster. There is a good
spirit about the club this year that
should make for more team work
when the season starts.

Volunteering Over.
(Boston Evening Transcript

NbOSbOll EN GlllllS EdIlSCllpl)
 Henceforth one army and one navy Marine Corps included, will answer to one and the same call to the col ors. The amendment offered by Sen ator WadswOrth of New York extending the draft to the navy and Marine Corps was accepted by the con- ferees in the form that it was adopt ed by the Senate, and in the future all the men will be assigned to the colors, afeld and atioat, according to their respective abilities. This means that the navy will never lack for any kind of skill and that the army will not in clude within it's ranks men of sea ex- perience who can better serve their country on the sea. It means also that men will not be allowed to vol unteer for the navy or the Marine Corps and thereby avoid conscription for the army. Volunteering is now at an end among our forces on land and sea. All will hereafter go as the Government assigns them. It Is the better way and it will hasten the day when our maximum man power can be put into the war against the ene- my.
 No legislation was needed to consol- idate the regular army, the National Guard and the National Army into one army-the army. of the United States. An executive order did that and put into effect the recommends tion of the General Staff, made within a month after we declared war, but rejected by the War Department until a few weeks ago. In the same way the recommendation of Rear Admiral Palmer, Chief of the Bureau of Nav igation, for the merging of the regu- lars and reserves and the naval mill itiamen into one sea force-the navy of the United States-has finally re- ceived the Navy Departments apprOV- all All these changes are for the better because they make for solidar- itv and coordination of effort and equality of opportunity among our defenders on land and sea.
 Where we refused to learn by the experience of our allies early in the war, we have at last learned by our own experience. Where we rejected for more than a year expert advice in the army and navy with respect to these things, we have at last after the lapse of nearly year and half accepted that advice and acted upon

INTERPRETATION.
past.

The movement to inculcate Ameri- can principles into those in this city who have come here from other lands,
 pr whose parents did so, was success fully launched last evening when more than 700 men and women were enrolled in the free evening schools at the first session.
 We are confident that those in charge of this movement are aware of the errors which have been made by well-meaning individuals who imagined that in order to make an American out of one who has hither- the only operation necessary was to pour in generous amount of teach ling, rechristen the subject as an American, and presto! the work was finished. Just these kind of one minute baking recipes have done more harm than good in the Ameri- lcanization movement. We feel sure that this mistake will not be made in this city under the new regime.
 Tn some matters, we are apt to be too narrow minded and skeptiCal, as Regards those who come to us from .pther shores. For instance, we have
 habit of referring to them as for Rigners' in a manner and a tone that s little short of insulting, at times. When we stop to reflect a moment, who of us could not be classified as Foreigners, if our ancestry were traced back? Are not the American Indians and their descendants the zbnly genuine Americans? Then why slo some of us have difficulty in sup pressing a sheer when we mention Foreigners. If we exhibit to these
 natives of other lands a tendency to
 always remind them that they were
 hot born here, and let them infer, on @hat account, that they are not en- titled to the same privileges as we, it
