PRACTICE GRIND ID
 BE RESUMED TODAY
Baron Infield Just Getting, Oiled Up and Gardens
 Are Now Filled

After a day of rest with their families the Barons will jour ney to Redwood bright and early this morning for their regular practice grind. Every body except Duncan and Morri- son are now in shape to get into the game and some real, earnest, honest-togoodness baseball should be forthcoming in their next appearance.
 The infield has practiced together only a few times owing to the fact that Billy Webb was just recently turned back by the Pirates, and the outfield, until Duncan gets in shape, will not be ready for the gong. Sore arms are scarce at Redwood this spring due to the care taken or the young hurlers and Moley's continual warning not to cut lem loose too soon
 Mcdonald hasn't quite become ac- customed to the keystone assignment although the veteran has played CT rorless ball there in the only two ex- hibition games. Eddie likes the switch from third and will doubtless put up better brand of ball at his new sta tion.
 Bernsens fielding around first, es- pecially on pop flys, hasn't been any too good and the big fellow made two or three misplays in Saturdays game that drew the jibes of the bleacherites on his head We were out to the game with a fellow from Dallas who had seen Dutch" play in the Texas league and this bird told us that he was about the most dangerous hitter in the Lone Star circuit.
 'Bernsen should hit 300 in the Southern league" said this fan. 'i know he can hit and field. too, for that matter. Just why he didn't make a better showing last year than he di1 is a mystery to me, but give him a chance this year and he'll surprise you folks by his batting"
 RaIey, at short, comes well recom- mended by the Pirates from whom he was obtained. This kid is Pittsburg phenom and is well known around the Smoky City for his baseball ability, ac- cording to no less authority than Bill Peet the genial sport writer of the Dispatch, who is here scribbling notes about the Pirates. Bill says Raley will develop into a star some day.
 The husky figure of William Webb on the hot corner has removed all anX- iety over that position and fans are oyerjoyed that the modest third-sacker is back in the lineup. Billy should

The People and the League

There is renewal of the suggestion
of coast-to-coast speaking tour by
the President on the subject of the
league OF nations. When first made,
some months ago, the suggestion
! aroused much interest. 1t is even
more interesting now. The subject has
steadily grown upon the public; and
from the day, fast approaching, of its
formal presentation to the Senate it
will hold the center of the stage until
disposed of.
What has been said as to such a
tour may be repeated. 1t will make
record for crowds attracted and ex-
citement produced. The speaker, the
subject and the object will form a
com hination appealing to all within
reach. Those who favor and those who
oppose will alike want to hear the dis
course-want to hear the leading cham
pion Of the league tell the story of its
drafting and the purposes of the in
strument.
And, naturally, opponents of the
league will take the stump also. Those
in Congress and those outside will pre-
pare itineraries. In this way the
whole country will be covered, and
sentiment on both sides taken.
As usual, in controversies Of large
character, both sides. are declaring
confidence. But the preparations show
that neither side is satisfied with the
situation as it now exists. Each side is
taking steps to strengthen itself.
This will be sort of referendum.
No popular vote viii be taken, but a
fairly accurate appraisement will fol-
low a. to how the people stand, The
procedure is in line with American
custom. The people are the source o.
power with us, and are properly to be
consulted when possible ON all matters

The league is matter. of the largest
impeIt sTAe proposition has ripened
since the latest general election was
held. Last years campaign included
no reference to the league, for the
simple reason that the war and the
campaign were in progress at the same
time. The proposition Of the league
came, OF course, after the armistice.
It is product of that.
The Senate has become a popular
body. The people now elect the men,
bers, and hence the members are an.
!swerable directly to the people. A
third of the Senate will be in the
s. ale next year; and members aspir.
ing to succeed themselves who must
then give an account of their deeds
done in Office will have in mind in

breaks as much as possible.
1t will be best for us, then, to be
on guard. We have a great deal to
protect; and should an emergency
arise we should be prepared for it.
The better prepared We are to protect
ourselves, the more respected we shall
be by the outside world and the less
liable to attack. We are meditating
no attack ourselves. -
All things considered, Congress
should provide for an Army and
Navy of adequate proportions and the
latest and best equipment. Taxes, it
is true, are heavy, and will remain
so for some time. The war was very
expensive, but all the more so because
we were lamentably unprepared when
we entered. We should not be under
such large assessments now for our
part in the struggle if we had been
in the condition required by our, size
and the extent of our resources.
Months were necessary to secure what
We should have possessed at the start;
and prices, kited to the top for every
thing, had to be paid.
The Army and the Navy are de-
servedly popular. Both, indeed, are
much admired. In all our wars both
have earned and received. great ,ap-
plause. The world is in process of re-
arrangement; and not for some time
yet shall We be able to tell to what
extent or in what ways the new ar
rangement will affect us. But we
should assume, and act upon the as
sumption, that as a nation we shall
continue to advance along the lines of
responsibility and power, and try even
for the place at the head of the pro-
cess;on.

A Narrow Margin.

A delicate situation is developing in
TIE matter of the Presidents return
and participation in the final acts of
legislation for the support of the gov
eminent for the next fiscal year. The
appropriation bills, for the enactment
OF which Congress was called in extra
session beginning May 10, have not
yet been signed, most of them not
passed. 1t is virtually impossible for
them to become laws by the expira
ton of the ten-day time limit in sea-
son for the fiscal year. They cannot
be signed by cable or by wireless so
far as presidents 60. They must be
signed or become laws without sigma
ture before midnight on the Both of
June, a week from next Monday, or
there will be lapse of provision for
some of the important functions Of the
government. Not even a continuing
resolution can be enacted, for the same
condition applies to such an emer-
gency measure. If the German treaty
is signed at Versailles on the 23d, next
Monday, the President, assuming that
he stays for that ceremony, will have
a week to reach Washington in season
to sign the bill. That is very narrow
margin, and the hope is that there will
be no check or hitch in the program to
cause complication here through the
absence Of the chief executive at a
time when his administrative duties
imperatively require his presence in
this country.
