HOME SCRIBES
 BOOST THEIR LOCAL TEAMS

SAN FRANCISCO. March 28.- With little more than a week before the beginning of the Pacific Coast league baseball season, all of the clubs are deeply engrossed at their respective training camps endeavor. ing to whip theilr playing combina. tions into shape for the opening day games on April 8.
 AS is usual at this time of the year, all reports of the relative strengths of the various teams is mere conjec- ture, but baseball experts seem fairly united in expressing the belief that the teams are much on part on their show of playing ability thus far ex- hibited.
 Local newspaper writers who have been watching the work of the San Francisco club are sending in opti mistic reports and this may be said to be more or less the case with repect to tAS oIhCl SluDo, dCIO1ulE IO CoJl- mate of their home town scribes. Among the individual players who have received large share of pre-sea' son attention from the writers is Hal Dimock, the former University of Cali. fornia left-handed pitcher, who is with the San Francisco team. Manager Graham is enthusiastic over the pros poets of this player and predicts that he will be one of the sensations of the season. Dimock made a brilliant record with his college varsity and Graham seems confident that he will be able to continue his good work in professional company. The predic, tion has been made that the final makeup of the Seals outfield will be Schaller, Harp and Fitzgerald.
 Practice games played by the league teams have been against good, bad and indifferent clubs and have not been particularly enlightening in the matter of forming an estimate of the formers abilities either on the of l fensive or defensive. At times the playing of the leaguers has been as 1 wild and cratic as the worst exhibi tion put up by the professionals and amateurs.

INDIANAPOLIS, March zS.-The Indianapolis club of the American as- !sociation will do its spring training on the home grounds except for trip to Bloomington for series of games with the Indiana University squad. Manager Burke is confident that some |of this new material will greatly strengthen the Browns this season.
 The first exhibition game has been scheduled with the San Antonio Bronchos. This will mark the opener |of series of five or six games with the Bronchos, Houston and other Texas league clubs have sent invita- tions to Business Manager Quinn for exhibition games. Quinn desires to have the team return home after con- pleting training, the shortest way pos sible, and he is awaiting word from the railroad companies before sched- uling exhibition games.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 28.-With the date of the Pacific coast intercol- legiate conference meet set for May S1 at Seattle, the variouE rcolleges making up the conference member ship are actively at work moulding the teams by which they will be rep | resented.
 The institutions which are expected to enter teams are the University of California, Stanford University, the University of Oregon, the Oregon | Agricultural College, the University of Washington. and the Washington State College.
 At least ten men will be sent north by Stanford wearing the cardinal col ors. Weekly tryouts are being held regularly at Palo Alto and the per- formances of the athletes recorded. The improvement in these figures being shown from week to week is highly encouraging to those in charge of the squad.
 California also reports strong strong team, which it confidently ex- poets will be able to take the measure of the Cardinals at their dual meet set for a month previous to the confer ence. Trainer Walter Christie is figur ing on a team of at least dozen men to represent the University at Se- attle.
 Reports coming out of the north are not as optimistic as those emanating from the two California institutions. It is taken into consideration, how ever, that climatic conditions retard the northerners in the matter of their outdoor practice. The Californians are able to get out on the track several weeks in advance of their northern rivals
 COLUMBIA, Mo-, March 2S.-The University of Missouri, winner of the Missouri Valley track championship seven times out of the last eight years and a strong contender for the last four years in the Western intercol- legiate conference, faces the approach ing track season with only few I'M" men to depend on. Many of the stars are still in the service. It is believed, however, that Mis- souri will fare as we'll as other uni versailles in respect to veterans. The "M" men in training now are Captain Sylvester, hurdle, sprinter and broad jumper; Albus, hurdle; Barlow, quar- ter-miler and winner in the 44O-yard dash last year in the Western inter- cillegiate meet; Marshall, pole vault CT; Mattingly and Edwards. quarter milers.

LOUISVILLE, March 28.-Ferdie Schupp, the Louisville left-hander and former star pitcher with the New York Nationals, is a hOldOut, having refused the salary offered him this season by Manager McGraw. Schupp's arm failed him last season and conse- quently McGrew slashed his salary. Schupp claims, however, that his arm is again in good condition. He ranked third in the list of National league pitchers in 1917, winning twenty-one games out of twenty eight.

SEES CANADA AS THE TIE
TO BIND U. S. AND BRITAIN

COLUMBUS. Ohio. July 11-"Canada
is strategically situated" for binding
the United States and Great Britain
together. according to DR. S. D.
Chown, president of the Methodist
Church of Canada, in an address at
the Methodist centenary exposition
here yesterday.
with this bond secure we may con-
fidently assume the future peace and
progress of the world" said DR.. Chown.
Canada is not hermit nation. but
hsa a worldwide interest and is A
world power. 1t is a power that shall
be needed to make the league of ma :
lions a permanent force in world re-
construction"
Dr. Chown declared that Canadians
are more like Americans than our
neutral cousins across the seas and
are more Influenced in their daily
thought by current American opinion
than by the public opinion in Greai
Britain"
The cords that bind us are as lieh,
as gossamer, but as strong as steel,
said DR.. Chown. Your fathers
achieved our liberty when they gain
ed your own. Our liberty possesses
every element of freedom except the
power to destroy itself"

that makes the Navy the formida Bile
fighting force that it is"

STRUCK ICEBERG BOW ON.
Believed Captains Decision Saved
Grampian From Titanic's Fate.

ST. JOHNS. N. F., July 10.-Two
men were killed and two injured when
the Allan liner Grampian. Montreal
for Liverpool. collided with an ice
berg off Cape Race last night. The
steamship. with $50 passengers and a
crew Of $50, arrived here this morning
for repairs.
That the Grampian did not suffer
the fate of the Titanic. with consider
able loss of life. is believed to have
been due to the decision of the cap
tain to strike the iceberg bow on. in
stead of taking a glancing blow on
the side.
Virtually all the passengers were
awake but, although there were more
than 500 women and children aboard,
there was no panic.

the committee may ask representa-

right, as they would make the request
with intent to aid in the solution of
the problems that are theirs as well
as the railway company's, they should
be welcomed by the directors of the

There is small question that some OF
the present directors. leading business
men of the city, would welcome a
chance to shift the burdens of direc-
torship to other hands. for they have
not enjoyed the i'll success that has
attended their efforts nor yet the
blame that has been placed on the
board as a body by various interests.
The local personnel of the note
holders committee will not include
any of the present officials of the

bank presidents and two junior Of
ficers of other banks.
