bor, it will nevertheless lead the way
to Industrial peace and to the great
est possible industrial efficiency.
Referring to the United States he
indicates that there has been some ir-
responsible and erratic support for
the same idea in this country, but
concludes with the suggestion that,
while this has been found necessary
in Europe, it cannot be looked for in
the United States.
This is a part of the general as
sumption that in some way or other
labor in the United States has diff
ferent Significance, a different mean
ing, is supported by different pro-
cesses than in other countries, and
that in some way or other that which
is found fundamentally necessary in
the relation of a worker to the indus
try in which he is employed in one
country is not necessarily wise in
other countries
Just how it happens that the arith-
matte involved in determining the re-
lations betewen services and rewards,
and the sense of justice involved in
providing proper guarantees that
these relations shall be maintained.
operates differently with people who
speak different languages. live in diff
ferent climates, dress after different
fashions and belong to different
races, is not stated. However, it is
something to be grateful for that it
is not claimed that the law of gravity
and the operation of the natural
forces operate differently in different
countries, or that falling bodies are
influenced by the languages spoken
by those they fall upon.
But Mr.. Warburg assumes to be
amusingly ignorant of what the real
Progressives in America are thinking
about, in his assumption that repre-
sentation on the part of labor in the
management of industry will not be
necessary, will not even be called for,
in the United States. The assumption
that industrial power in political ac-
tivities will not be tolerated under
our flag is absurd, in consideration of
the fact that Mr. Warburg's own
banking syndicate is itself the most
powerful factor in American politics,
1t is nothing other than Soviet"
based entirely on industrial groups,
but controlled entirely, and repre-
sented only, by the exploiters within
these groups, rather than the pro-
ducers.
Germany has determined that the
workers shall also be represented.
Russia has determined that the work.
ers only shall be represented, and the
exploiters excluded. In the United
States we have heard from Root,
from Lamont, from Warburg and
from Steel Trust Gary, who is a most
powerful factor in the same combna-
tion. AS to this country it seems
that the exploiters have nothing to
arbitrate. In Russia the workers
have taken the same position-they,
too, contend that workers have moth
ing to arbitrate, The Wall Street

its spokesmen have been heard from.
What will the workers of America
say when once consolidated as the ex-
ploiters now. are, and not only dis
posed to speak but have the strength
with which to make themselves heard

BANK HAS SOME
GOLD IN ITS VAULTS

Last Sunday President C. d. Wag-
goner, of the Bank of Telluride, had
exhibit No. l at his bank, and believe
me it was some exhibit. 1t was a
stack of gold So. $40 and 500 gold
pieces laying on the bank counter
that represented eighteen inches wide
by eight feet and two inches long,
and represented $4,000, the amount
of that counting houses reserve
funds. There was more gold in the
pile than the combined banks of
Denver have on hand we are told,
aside from the federal reserve bank
This vast sum of gold was taken
from the strong box to be counted
for the first time since 1907, but of
course it has been weighed by bank
examiners and looked over by them
in making the banks audit numerous
times, as gold is checked by weight
in some instances.
Aside from this sum the bank car
ries plenty of currency and silver for
the daily business, SO just keep the
gold in reserve.
When fellow reads about the
twenty bank failures in Dakota. and
of banks failing elsewhere in the
United States and even in Colorado
these times, it makes him feel just
little proud of an institution right
here in cur own little Telluride that
has more gold than any of them,-

Schools and Colleges to Get Out for
Work With Appearance of
Coed Weather.

Baseball Is booming today. The
appearance of sunny weather has
brought the college and school play
RS out in the open. Georgetown,
Catholic University, Gallaudet and
Maryland State players are making a
'arge day of it. Central, Western,
Tech. Business and Eastern are max
ng the most of the day and large
squads are working.
With one or two days more of sun
Georgetown expects to have things
ready for Saturdays contest with
Rock Hill College, of Ellicott City,
Md The Hilltoppers will have a
veteran team in line and with the
Marylanders opening up expect to
win.
Catholic University and Gallaudet
will put in preliminary practices
during the remainder of the week.
The high schools have done little
work so far but are expecting to go
the limit as soon as the ground is
in good condition. Battery work and
condition is about all that can be ex-
pected of the high school boys at
present. Some of the schools have
listed games for next week.

who has made over 200 hits in eight
consecutive seasons. from 1894 to 1901
inclusive. Cobb has collected more
than 200 hits seven times, but they
were scattered over a ten-year period.
Burkett got 200 hits six times and La
joie five. Hans Wagner only bagged
200 hits twice in his long career.
Keller remained in Baltimore I'M
til Hanlon shifted the handspring of
his Oriole club to Brooklyn, where he
won pennants in 1899 and 1900. Dur
ing the American League war Willie
jumped to the New York Yankees,
remaining with that club until 1909.
On his release from that club, his old
Baltimore team mate, McGraw,
signed him to Giant contract in
1910. enabling Keller to finish his
major league career with the same
famous club with-which he started.
In addition to his batting records.
Keller contributed one of the gems
of baseball literature when he gave
his recipe for hitting. Asked by re-
porter how IL was he managed to get
so many hits. Willie made the his
toric remark of. why, I just hit 'em
where they amt"

pitcher that Wee Willie tried his wits
against. The speed king OF his day,
Amos Rusie. was in the box for New
York. Though the Quaker Differs
made only five hits off Rusie against
eleven made by the Giants off keefe.
Amos lost the game by a score of
to 4.
Keller replaced Jim Knowles at
third base, and he played eight games
with the Giants that fall. Wee Willie
proved from the outset that he could
hit. as he hit safely in seven straight
games before he was stopped in the
eighth by Jack Stivetts, of Boston
In his eighth game he landed IL hits
in 30 times at bat for an average of
.367.
Willie scored five runs for the
Giants that fall, and by a freak twist
of baseball fate he completed his
major league career eighteen years
later by scoring five runs for the
Giants in the season of 1910.
Sold Him to Brooklyn.
Keller. who came to the Giants
from the Binghamton team. wasn't
permitted to stay long in New York
There was chance in ownership of
the New York Nationals in the fol-
lowing winter and John Montgomery
/ Ward succeeded Pat Powers as the
Giant manager Keller broke his
ankle early in the 1898 season, and
the Giants sold him to Brooklyn. his
home town, for $500. The Giants be-
lieved he was too small and too light
for big league use.
Brooklyn didn't keep him. either.
He, too, was considered too light to
be of any service in the City of
Churches, and Willie's next move was
out of the big city entirely-to Balti-
more. He Joined the orioles in 1894
the year that Ned Hanlon won his
first championship with a team which
for batting ability. speed, and cunning
never had an equal.
Keller fitted in with that Oriole
bunch like snug glove. Though he
played third base when Pat Powers
gave him his first chance in New
York. his natural position was the
outfeld, and in Baltimore Keller,
Kelly and Brody became the most
famous outfielders in the game.
He Hit for .367.
Keller hit 1867 in his first year in
Baltimore, and he didn't go under
that figure until 1901. In 1897 he led
the National League hitters with the
remarkable average of .432. Keller
is the only batsman who ever lived

for three. Thus seven games against
two of the three Eastern rivals. will
be historical before the Griffs open al
home.
II the Griffmen can show to ad-
vantage against Boston and Phila-
delphia there will be many willing
to bank on their passing st. Louis
and, possibly, Chicago, in the league
scramble. AS bad as they were in
1919, the Griffs beat out the Mack
men. They came close to finishing
ahead of the Red Sox.
They say the Mackmen are strong
er this year. Well, so are the Griffs-
on paper. The Red Sox. it Is gen.
orally admitted, are considerably
weaker than in 1919, so the Griff-
men should benefit from that in the
final standings.
Chicago Should Crack.
Wise followers of the diamond pas
time are inclined to the opinion that
the Chicago White Sox are due to
crack this season. Chick Gandil anG
Swede Risberg, kicking about salary
terms, have yet to sign. Both may
be missing. Then look at the collec
ton of veterans who cannot go on
lOTeNtT, men ike SldnO tOlllHS, Joe
Jackson. Eddie Cicotte and, possibly
Eddie Collins. A letdown in theiI
work will come close to dropping the
team into the ruck, for nothing goes
down so fast as championship ball
club, once it hits chutes.
Almost without exception the Cleve-
land Indians are favored to win the
1920 pennant in the American League
being given fight by the Tigers,
White SoX and Yankees. Most writer's
believe the Yankees will suffer from
too much Ruth and Mays and a lack
of speed, with the White Sox crack
ing under the strain of chasing an
other banner and the Tigers faltering
through Lack of something difficult to
explain.
Will the Griffs finish in the first d.
vision? Who can tell? If Grif can
plug UP the holes in his infield and
has pitching no better than he had
last year. fifth should be the worst
ending for the team. With steady
hurting, backed by good fielding in
the infield and hitting by the regu-
lars, especially the outfielders, it is
even possible for the Griffmen to
make a great fight and finish among
the first four.

Keller still occasionally comes up
for air. He was sitting in the Polo
Grounds press stand late last season
when he recalled "reminiscences Of his
first big league game.

started out there" said Willie. 81

like a little peewee alongside Of fell
lows like Rusie. Ewing. Roger Con-
nor and Delehanty. Pat Powers put
me on third base. and the Phillies
thought 1 was a pretty good laugh.
They thought Pat was playing a jock
on them"
However. we see from the files that
Keller, despite his size, made a very
favorable impression. A New York
daily, in its comment OF the game,
said: "Keeler made his debut as a
Giant, and did remarkably well. He
is a fast runner and a good fielder.
Manager Powers doubtless has a find
in him"
Small, But No Joke.
If the Phillies regarded little Keller
as a joke. his work that afternoon
didn't prove that he was one. He got
one hit, scored run. stole two bases
and handled both of his fielding
chances without an error. Perhaps
when he stole his bases the Philles
couldn't see him, he was so tiny.
1t is amusing to look back and note
the two famous lead-off men OF the
Baltimore Orioles, Keller and Nc
Graw; both were regarded as base
ball jokes when they broke into the
majors. Both were so tiny that no
one would take them seriously, prov
ing conclusively the old saying that
the best goods come in small pack
ages.
Keller, destined to become one of
the games most remarkable batsmen,
started his major league career with
a famous array of sluggers. On the
Phillies were such noted sluggers AS
Billy Hamilton, Sam Thompson, Ed
Delehanty. Roger Conner and Lave
Cross, while among Keeler's fellow
players on the Giants were such noted
sluggers as Mike Tiernan and Buck
Ewing. Yet who among these bat

How do things shape up with the
Grirfmen? Well, judging from what
the war correspondents have seen
mt to say, the task will be by no
means an easy one for the newest
president in the circuit The scribes
have been exceedingly chary about
praising any of the young players
working out at Tampa. Probably,
like wise young men, the war cor
respondents prefer to see the young
sters opposing the Reds before form
ing any opinions.
A year ago all we heard was OF
the marvels of "Gob" Davis. He
was perfect whirlwind for speed,
had an arm of steel and hit-say, he
always hit the ball on a line over
the infield." He fouled once in the
big show before going out to Min
neapols. The enthusiastic scribes,
remembering the awful disaster OF
1919, have kept cool this spring.
VIII Get Real Test.
Beginning next Tuesday, the Griff-
men, young and old. will receive
real test when they oppose the
worlds champion Cincinnati Reds
over a stretch of eighteen games.
Counting the one game with the
Brooklyn Dodgers at Jacksonville
on March 20, the Griffs will have
nineteen straight clashes with major
league opponents, the best kind of
playing for the team before tack
ling the Red Sox at Boston on
April IA.
Two puzzles are offered Clark Grit
fifth The first and greatest is the
makeup Of his infieid combination.
Second comes the choice Ut a pcrma-
nent hurting corps. Unless the first
puzzle is solved. there will be little
good in solving the second. More
than half of last years defeats came
through fielding errors at second base
and shortstop. The pitchers could
not be blamed for the sieve behind
them.
Facing such twirlers as Dutch
Reuther. Hold Eller, Jimmy Ring, and
Slim Sallee the new Griffmen will be
batting against quite the best pitch
ing to be obtained. Facing such hit
ters as Ed Roush. Heinie Groh, Greasy
Neale. and Jake Daubert, the young
Washington pitchers will know what
it is to look at real big league slug
gers before the curtain rolls up in
their own league.
Red SOx Look Bad.
Many fans have inquired as to
where the Griffmen should finish in
the 1920 campaign, but who can re-
ply? For one thing, by way of elm
nation, the Boston Red Sox are said
to be looking very, very bad out at
Hot Springs, Ark. Boston baseball
writer's are claiming seventh place
as the highest position possible for
the former champions of the world.
The schedule comes a bit to the
assistance of Washington fans this
spring, giving them a chance to be
enlightened a little before getting a
peek at their heroes in champion
ship contest. The Griffs will open
the season in Boston on April II,
playing four games in the Hub be-
fore moving south to Philadelphia
