The Battle Begins.
At this point the battle begins.
The Yanks have Babe Rub, Duffy
, Lewis and several youngsters.
The Reds have Roush, Neale and
Duncan. Pittsburgh has two stars
in Carey and Southworth. Wash
ington is we'll fixed with Milan,
Roth and Rice.
But all in all, Cleveland has the
call on third place with Speaker,
Graney, Smith and Wood.
II there was any doubt, Speaker
alone would carry the day. He
has been the best outielder in base
ball for about ten years. He still
| is.
So through Speaker third place
in the outfit dope goes to Cleve-

Hagen will have a hard man to
beat in Abe Mitchell, the longest
hitter in the world" But Is years
ago GreaA Britain discovered that
Ed Blackwell. one of the longest
hitters in the world, was no match
for Walter j. Travis, the longest

that reaches the cup and ends the
scoring, not the drive.

GREATER STRENGTH IN FIELD
THREE-EYE NEWS

Rockford, ILL.,. April II. - The
Rockford players got in a third
day of hard practice yesterday at
kishwaukee park and President
Bell and Manager Schollenberger
were elated over the showing made
by most of the talent on trial.
The infield work yesterday con-
sisted OF Smith at first, Hogan at
second, Brant at shortstop and
Hauk on third. Manager Schollen-
berger last night intimated to
Meinke, Jensen, Howard, Ellis and
Peppard that their chances of max
ing the team, due to evident mex
perience, we're too remote to JUS
tify their longer Connection with
the squad. With tho opening OF
the season only two weeks away
there is little opportunity for de-
veloping players who are not we'll
advanced in their knowledge of the
pastiue.
Boss Joe Dunn expresses the
opinion that his team is stronger
this year than were the Boomers
who captured the pennant last sea-
son. Peoria scribes say Bill Jack
son is making a deal for most OF
the Cub discards which may in
clude Walter Diver Pearce.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. April IL
Thursday saw the arrival Of two

shortstop. Nespo, an infielder, and
Weidell, Lawrence and LeBeau
outfielders to put in their appear
ance before the Bunny squad is
, complete.
In the meantime Belden Hill has
been trying to get President Al
Tearney t. hurry up and issue the
schedule SO that he and Boyle may
know just when and where the
Dummies are to open the season
Two schedules were sent to every
club last Saturday, one of which
was to be approved and the an.
swer sent to Tearney. Hill sent his
answer less than six hours after
! he had received his schedule, bu
the other clubs seem to be some
what backward. sAt least the To-
cal officials have received no defin

mean when good road is completed

flourishing farm and dairy section, is
isolated eight miles from the railroad
and. if her products could be diverted

would give the people Of this city
fresher and better food at great saw
ing.
This is considered most timely
demonstration in conjunction with the
good roads program of the Board OF
Commissioners of Fairfax Courthouse
and the Chamber of Commerce Of this
city.
CAPTAIN Geo. II. Evans. business
