Mr.. Borah point out in the final

league smashers - intend to badger
The Idaho senator writes that "for
nearly 150 years" America has adhered
to a policy of mo entangling alliances
with foreign powers" He wishes to
know if Mr.. Lowden would consent in
any way to its abandonment or modifi-
cation.

writes Borah, are CO. operating with
European forces ''to embroil us in all
European turmoils and conflicts" He
asks what Lowden would do about this
if elected President.
As ''an illustration" Borah tells of
American soldiers killed and Others
wounded in Russia, although the United
says this situation exists against the
wishes of the American people and as
result of a secret decision reached
at the Versailles conference between
representatives of the United States and
four European nations.
Mr.. Borah also refers to the money
cost of sending soldiers abroad.
Major General Wood is probably the
next name on Senator Borah's mailing
list. If General Pershing's boom bios

position on the question raised in the
letter to Governor Lowden is in no
doubt.

HEROINE BONAPARTE

Mister Cohen is the better looking, but the lovin' man car ries the niftier vocabulary and his enunciation is no so Jerusalem-like.
 Said Mister Cohen last night as he leaned over my desk and interfered with the usual rhthymic flow of sport ing intellectuality:
 "Well, the Smiths, Joneses, Browns and Johnsons haven't anything on the Cohen family. No. Us Cohens have a little monopoly all our own. I was in the public library at the city hall yesterday, enjoying a quiet hour reading when, incidentally, 1 ran across New York city directory laying on the table where I was seated. Certainly, it was the largest book of it's kind 1 had ever seen. It was bigger than Paul Cooks The saurus of the English Language, or Battle Beale's Book of Knowledge. I began to skip through it at random and, quite naturally, turned to look at my own sirname.
 Do you know, Mr. Traviski, there were eight and half pages of Cohens in that book? And they ran six columns to the page and 150 thames to the columns. Approximately 7,500 Cohens there, all in bunch"

The Giants, who encountered him in the spring series with the Sox. call him the "Wild Irish Rose. He's all of that, and then some. In the game played by the Giants and Sox at San Antonio Devine wrenched his right ankle badly when his cleats caught in the plate as he scored on q close play It was necessary for his team mates to carry him from the field, and an exam ination at the time indicated that ne probably would be out of the game for at least couple of weeks.

MAJOR RIDDLE SAYS
 CARPENTER FAST


 According to Maj. Anthony J. Riddle, who recently boxed two rounds with Georges Carpenter, the Frenchman is 8 marvellous boxer with a style that is a. cross be>yeen that of Packey McFar- land and Frank Erne. "Carpentier's s footwork and ducking make it almost impossible to land solidly on him. said the Philadelphia sportsman, who has spared with many of the leading pro- fessionals. Major BidGle believes that the Frenchman's speed of foot will pug gle even Jack Dempsey. as fast as the champion is with both hands and feet That Carpenters style is most impress sive is evidenced by the fact that not one of the Frenchman's critics has been able to pick a flaw in his technique. Those who believe that he is not sturdy enough for the task of beating Dempsey outnumber those who believe that he has an even chance, but no one having seen him in action has disputed his great skill.

Pirates Will
 Hand BaronS
 Two Players

Baronial stock took another upward plunge yesterday when the news was breezed around town that Barney Drey- fuss practically has agreed to strengthen the Birmingham team with a pitcher and one infieder.
 With this acquisition the Barons will be fairly well set to begin the season with some ball playing that will arocS the fans from their lethargy and start the home town dreaming about glad rag waving here by the time the musca7 dimes are ripe and the persimmons begin to fall.
 One good right-handed pitcher and one infielder will come as a gold mine to the team and afford some of tns most peppery enthusiasm to be staged at Redwood for many, many moons.
 The Pittsburgh manager will be Tn Memphis next Sunday. Carlton Moles- worth will beat it over to the burg on the bluff next Saturday and on the sap bath following there will be star chamber conference between Barney and Moley.
 Barney has not as yet selected the men he has promised to give Molesworth, but the latest reports from the Pirate entourage is that the pitcher and in- fielder practically are certain.
 Molesworth has had his eye on Kid Caton, who played shortstop here two years ago. going to Pittsburgh from Bir- rningham. But Barney will not talk about letting Caton go. The boy ap- parently is in mighty strong with the Pirates and Dreyfuss intends to keep him.
 The Baron manager, however, will thresh out all these matters when he meets Dreyfuss, by appointment, in Mem- phis next Sunday.
 If Molesworth gets the pitcher and infielder which Dreyfuss seems likely to let the Barons have, then the home

 I dare not give the name of the town whence the team hailed whose experience I am now about to relate for fear of being scalped by some of the business men about that town, who were then players on the team.
 This town team, of course, thought they were "it' in baseball. There was another team that lived in a mountain district that also thought they were 'it.'' This town team challenged the mountain boys for game.

 But, everything considered, and with a few more days of training left, the Barons are not likely to have to offer any apology for their appearance on the diamond next week.
