fore the base ball season opens
Manager Barrow expects to maks
some kind of a deal that will give
him couple of strong men. 1t that
deal isn't made, it looks as if the
Red Sox manager will have siren
uous time keeping the once famous
Boston team in the first division, and
unless he produces first division
team, the fans of Boston are likely
to be rather harsh.
At the start of the training period
here Barrow had bunch of ath-
letes that could be sized up about as
follows:
A first class inheld.
A rather weak and left.handed
hitting outheld.
A doubtful pitching staff.
A catching staff wrecked by the
absence of the star.
Ruth Sale Stirs Fans.
OF course, it was the selling OF
big Babe Ruth, the Tarzan of base
ball, that stirred the Boston fans.
He was the biggest hero of the ma
tional game last year. Boston fans
haven't recovered from the shock
they got when it was announced
Babe had been sold to New York.
1t isn't possible to get man to
take Ruth's place, as far as hitting
honors is concerned. However, the
absence of Ruth alone isn't all that
is the matter with the team. Pos
sibly Barrow would have just abou:
as hard a time keeping in the first
division if he could find another
Ruth. 1t was the effect of such a
deal upon the other members of the
team that is liable to play havoc.
Schang Among Missing.
For instance, Wallie Schang, who
often has been compared with Ray
Schalk of the White Sox as a
catcher of extraordinary merit, has
declared he is through with the
game. Perhaps he's only holding
out. The report is that he didn't
demand more money than offered
but simply wrote that he had gone
into the automobile accessory busi-
ness in Philadelphia and was
through with the pastime. 1t is
hardly likely playing baseball would
interfere greatly with his business
if he thought he was on team
likely to cut into worlds series.
Harry Hooper, the veteran and
expert outfielder, wrote he would
be late in reporting. That hardly
would be done by a player who
felt he was to be in pennant fight.
Stuffy McInnis, Everett Scott, and
Joe Bush, veterans of the champion
ship days, were bit peeved upon
reaching camp and learning the
other old timers had been able to
stay at home a while longer. Oscar
Witt, regular third baseman, wasn't
present, holding out for more
money. Herb Pennock wasn't
prompt in reporting. !
Youngsters Are Plentiful. i
When Barrow took his gang out
for the first drill, he found he had
number of youngsters on hand
and three or four veterans. Several
of the youngsters were boys who
had performed in the Steel league

have not gone properly about the
task of reconstruction. For ex-
ample there has been criticism in
England of the French taxation pro-
gram and some criticism in the I'm
tied States of the same thing. There
has been a tendency too to consider
that Italy has not been severe
enough in placing new tax levies on
her people. And almost everywhere
in the allied countries the belief is
current that the Germans are not
moving toward the establishment
Of their foreign credit and the ad-
justment of their internal debt as
quickly as they might. 1t is ex-
pected that all of these far-reaching
questions will be brought up at the
conference.

A Safe Test

For those who are in need of a

Note, Requesting Ex-Kaiser's Extra
ditiOn, Prepared by Supreme
Council

According to a Paris report, the SUI
preme Council has sent note to
the Dutch Government asking for the
surrender of the ex-Kaiser for trial
before the inter-Allied tribunal pro-
| for by the German Peace Treaty.
The action of the Allies in sending
the note to Holland is based on Art
icle 227 of the treaty Of Versailles,
which reads as follows:
The allied and associated powers
publicity arraign William II, Of
Hohenzollern, formerly German En-
peror, for a supreme OffeDse against
international morality and the sane
tity of treaties A special tribunal
will be constituted to try the accused
thereby assuring him the guarantees
essential to the right of defense. 1t
will be composed of five judges, one
appointed by each of the following
powers, namely: The United States
of America, Great Britain, France,
Italy, and Japan.
In its decision the tribunal will
be guided by the highest motives of
international policy with view to
vindicating the solemn obligations or
international UNDERTAKINGS and the
validity of international morality.
1t will be its duty to fix the punish
ment which it considers should be
imposed. The allied and associated
powers will address a request to the
Government of the Netherlands for
the surrender to them of the ex-Em-
peror in order that he may be put on
trial.

Poland to be Strengthened as Bull

the House Ways and Means Commit
zee that, for military reasons, the
proposed $4,000, 900 loan for Po-
land. Austria and Armeia should be
granted.
In urging this action Secretary
Baker said: THE situation is like

it vitality affects conditions in Turkey

In setting forth the need of the

lieve 1t is practically certain that the
Polish Army cannot Withstand the
force of the expected Bolsheviki Of
tenslve, which, If successful, would
probably mean a revival of the Euro

General Bliss, in referring to the
Soviet Army, startled the COMMITTEES
by saying that it now consists of
100000 well trained and equipped
men, under skillful leadership. He
also said that Poland has, to meet
this army, only poorly equipped
force of about 10000 men.
