Early in the day the local management got in communication with the New Haven authorities and learning that it was raining as hard there as it was here, the game was postponed.

YALE TEAM
 IN NEED OF
 IMPROVEMENT

Intercollegiate baseball has not at tracted the interest it's friends antici- pated it would draw. In New Haven in particular there has been little at tention amounting to anything paid to the Yale contingent. And then, too, the weather has interfered tremen- dousIy with the schedules of the east ern contingents.
 Unless Yale is able to develop or produce in very short time a crack pitching staff, it's nine will have diff ficulty in holding its own with its chief rivals, Harvard and Princeton. As whole the Yale team this season is a comparatively weak one, particu- larly in the box. So far Billy Lauder has had very unsatisfa ctoTy results with his twirlers and unless they do better work he cannot hope to give Yale a team up to former standards.
 Bill has on his pitching staff: Rob- inson, Selleck and Cox, none of whom can be said to be a high class hur- Ter. in spite of the fact that Robin son and Selleck have pitched the New Haveners to victory in the two games they have already played. With the return of Charley Comerford, how ever, Lauder should have one star boxman, but for some unknown reason Charley has not been given any consideration so far by the coach

The opinion prevails generally that Homer Baker, the veteran Brooklyn runner, is entitled to a place in the race in which Ray and Sellers will meet at the coming Battery E games in New York. The presence of Baker in this race will add a feeling of un- certainty that will add materially to the advance interest in the contes- Homer demonstrated his ability to race against Sellers and Ray in the Postal 600 in the Thirteenth Artillery armory last Saturday night, when he finished but a foot back of Sellers gaining ground handsomely on Jack through the last thirty yards of the race.

Primary Suffrage

The Florida Equal Suffrage Asso-
citation has decided to ask the legis-
lature for primary suffrage, rather
than constitutional amendment to
ce submitted to the voters. The rea-
sons for this decision will commend
themselves to all fair-minded people.
By this method, the negro woman
question that still seems to be such
stumbling block in the minds of some
people, will be entirely eliminated.
Such a law would be statutory, and
could be repealed by the next legisla-
ture if found harmful to the interests
Of good government; otherwise, tax
ing part in the primaries would train
the women of our state for the re-
sponsibilities of full suffrage. A con-
stituional amendment would force the
women workers into a strenuous 18-
months campaign, which would re-.
quire large sums of money, the I'M
divided time of a large number of
women, and much hard work. Bur-
dened as they are with activities re-
sulting from the war, in addition to
their regular duties, this would be a
tremendous hardship on those who
have so recently spent all they had
in time, energy and money in the SER
vice of their country. There is so
much ignorance in many sections of
the state, that it is almost impossible
to find any way of getting behind the
selfish prejudice that opposes every
upward step that women take. The
suffragists of the state are in most
instances, working women of slender
means, and it would be impossible for
them to finance such an educational
campaign as would be necessary to
influence the situation. In a state
that has such large percentage of
illiterates and near-illiterates as Flor
ida, it would certainly take years of
campaigning to get suffrage amend
mend ratified, and such work would,
i'll the end, prove useless, as the en-
reimbursement of the women by
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton will take place long before Flor
ida women can possibly hope for en-
reimbursement by ratification of a
state amendment.
The women of this nation have been
earning the right to enfranchisement
to the right to take part in their
own government-ever since colonial
days, when they crossed the seas with
their men, seeking religious and po-
litical freedom. They helped their
men conquer this country and take
possession of it. In every crisis,
Southern women, particularly, have
been loyal to their men, and helped
them to get and maintain the liberty
that men said they wanted. Surely a
situation that makes it necessary for
women to turn about now, and wage
long, wearisome campaigns to get
from the men of the state. the very
rights that they have helped men to
get for themselves, is a state of af-
fairs that will cause blush of shame
to rise to the face of every man who
has any sence of gratitude, or JUS
tice. Surely Southern men are the
last in the country who should be
picayunish about giving suffrage to
their women.
Two Southern states, Teaxs and
Arkansas, have already given their
women primary suffrage thru their
legislatures and, from all accounts,
the women of those states are exer-
cising their new powers with benefit
to themselves and the state.
