The Tigers have lost two games

the game.

Canton is one of the strongest

the Tigers are on an even par with
the Cantonese.

TEAM EASESUP
ONHEAvY WORK
TO retain EDGE
Process Of Tapering OF for Big
Contest Directed by Captain
Councilman.
BY ]. L. HUGHES.

A gradual tapering of process
to bring the Independents down to
a finely trained point for their I'M
portant game Sunday with the Sta
leys at Cubs park. Chicago, was
inaugurated yesterday afternoon
by Captain Jimmie Councilman
The chief doesn't aim to let ms
men overdo themselves He wants
everyone to enter the conflict win
every ounce of strength ready for
use. They all proved their wind
to be in good condition last sun
day. and Councilman believes that
light workouts are sufficlent 10
maintain the edge in team play.
Yesterdays drill consisted OF
snappy signal stuff and a half hour
of forward pass rehearsing. Inc
results satisfied Councilman that
the team is ready to give a good
account of itself.
The captains condition with re-
spect to his injured leg is nothing
to strike Joy into the hearts of any
one. He can move around only
with extreme difficulty. In spite of
all he intends to start himself at
quarterback and he will stick as
long as humanity possible. If Con-
zelman was in perfect shape, the
chances of the team would be in
creased. but even under the dis
couraging circumstances occasion
ed by his charley horse the locals
stand an even chance OF victory.
He is still receiving attention from
expert rubbers. The ailment is so
acute, however, as 70 preclude its
disappearance in the short time
allowed.
Fans. as a whole. probably do not
realize the seriousness of Comet
mans injury because of his grit in
sticking 10 the game Or. Grogan,
who oficiated as umpire at Green
Bay. when the leg went bad. ex-
pressed himself. when Councilman
was being carried from the field,
that he wouldn't fully recover this
season. and probably never. As a
physician. he knew Jim had incur
red an injury that is the fear OF
nearly every football player.
The pain is centered in the back
of the thigh and extends for sew
eraI inches toward the knee. Fol
lowing the exertion of last Sun
davis game, the damaged portion
became discolored.

BOOK INDIANS
Moline Aggregation Has Chance To
Make or Break Itself by Sun
days Game.

Moline Indians will hold their
final practice this evening in prep
aration for their tilt with the strong
Gary Elks' eleven in the Hoosier
city Sunday. The Plow City ag-
gregation has been drilling con-
scientiously all week for this strug-
gle as it means practically the max
ing or breaking of the Indians
financially If the Moline team
wins. several f1attering offers will
be at their choosing, especially in
and around Chicago. Should Gary
beat the Indians, it will be tough
shedding to book any more good
contests this year.
The Indians have felt the sting
of defeat but once this season. That
was by the Chicago Boosters, 3 to
10, and the Boosters have been
cleaning up everything in the
Windy City. The Moline team
record follows: Indians, 0; Chi

Coach Freeburg has ordered his
charges to report promptly at 7:30
this evening, rain or shine Final
arrangements for the transporta-
ton will be made at this time. The
Indians will leave for Gary on the

train which the Independents are

toSeary the government through the erisis.
This latter suggestion comes from the Leaders Of
the party which is now IN opposition. and it suggests
the thought that the internal situation in Japan Is much
worse than the western world. has been permitted TO
find out. However, a more probable explanation IS
that a common knowledge on the part Of the leaders
of all parties that Japan must either abandon alto
gether plans Of an imperialsie character or play a
lone hand against the other powers prompts the feeling
that the country should present a united front at this
time.
But whatever the cause it is clearfhat the situation
which has been created presents a wonderful oppor.
tunity for this country. As the only country that has
an interest in problems of the Pacific equal to that
Of Japan we can if we want to so manage the discus
sions and the conclusions as to cam for America the
confidence Of the japanese statesmen. The more broad
minded among them now feel that they have nothing to
fear from this country as long as Japan is willing to
play its own hand in accordance with the rules ac-
copied by civilized nations, but it is difficult to make
the merchants and manufacturers understand that they
should not undertake to close the markets Of Asia TO
every one buo themselves. and that the objection Of.
the people of English speaking countries to the DIFF
ference in the standard of living is legitimate and not
merely an expression Of race prejudice.
If these matters and some other. Of lesser import
can be threshed out in full view Of the whole world
the whole situation on the Pacific is bound 10 be tram
Notwithstanding of course that the japanese are
not secretly entertaining some impossible project for
bringing about japanese ~hesenony in 4he Far East.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover Is quoted as say
ing that more of the 90 billions Of dollars which
the people of this country have in savings accounts
ought to be applied to home building. Perhaps that is
true, but 1t is going to take a long campaign OF
education to work any changes there. The savings
institutions of this country have been managed with
a great deal of wisdom, and about the only general
principle that can be applied for the investment of
the funds Shey hold is that each bank and saving
association must work out the problem of what to
do With the money in It's own way.

SAVING The BABES

N EW ZEALAND has long been noted for her
y laws designed to throw the protecting ann of he
government around the children. She has led the world
in legislation of this character. As the people Of New
Zealand have sowed so have they reaped.
Figures Just given out by The United States Bureau
Of Public Health. show that the infant mortality rat.
in this enlightened British colony is the lowest in the
world. 1t has been cut in Eslf during the past As
years.
That is the kind of conservation worth Boosting
Iii the kind Of conservation that might well occupy
the attention Of official Washington to a far greater
extent than it does now or ever has.
If there is any explanation that really explains wbv
America instead of New Zealand should not lead tbs
world in conserving child life, we should like to have
it.

REAL MENACE

HE war which has been going on for months be.
tween the Kemalst Turks and'the Greeks is an
affair Of much greater magnitude than the people Of this
country realize. If there were not so many other great
events occurring Throughout the world. this Turko-G reek
war would be considered news Of the first Importance.
The great European powers are becoming alarmed
lest The Turks under Renal follow up the advantage
they. have already gained by making Constandnople
and The Dafdanelles untenabIe for allied troops and
ships and thus upset the whole settlement of the near
East question.
There seems little doubt that the situation has de-
Seloped into one of great seriousness
One Of the incidents of the war which is rather
amazing 10 US Americans is that 100000 Greeks are
already numbered among its victims.
