any further than to adopt an artlcie
empowering the Legislature and the
Conservation Department TO hanale
the conservation Of gas in any manner

sort, the governor said, would give the
State ample authority to exercise l's
police power in regulating the con

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
BARS PROFESSIONALS
FROM LOCAL Mines

New rules and amendments to the
rules featured the meeting Of the
board OF directors Of the Commercial
baseball league in the Community
Service rooms Thursday night. 1t was
decided that no professional or semi
pro bali player would be permitted to
play in the league.
1t was brought out that the league
was formed for the benefit of men
who could not or did not care to play
ball on Saturday or Sunday 1t also
was decided that any man playing in
the Saturday Afternoon league for the
Fast two seasons will not be permitted
to play.
These rules probably will disqualify
the Maher Meats as most of their team
is composed of men playing Sunday
ball. The Meats manager was not
present at the meeting Thursday, so
no action was taken on the matter.
No action was taken as TO the adj
hitting the two new teams into the
league until definite action is taken
on the Maher Meats case. A meeting
will be held next Monday in the Com
munity Service rooms and final plans
will be decided upon at this meet
ing
II the Meats are not able to come up
to the requirements of the rules it is
POSSIBLE that an eight club league
can be formed anyway. The Post Office
and the Bankers will be admitted and
an effort will be made to get a team
from the Y. M. c. A. to enter. The
has plenty of material to pick from
and could turn out good team.
The rules formerly stated that the
games should start not later than 1 80
or be forfeited to the opening team
This time has been changed 10 4 IA
which will benefit many of the mines.

REDS ON HOME LOT
, TO FACE CHAMPIONS
AFTER TRIBE WINS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April S.-The
young Red team closed a remarkably
brilliant training trip here Thursday
by outplaying the Indians at all points
of the game and winning the final con-
test of the journey by the one-sided
count of 10-1.
Two large innings did the work for
the Redlegs, one coming in the third
and the other in the seventh. The
first one came off Bartlett when four
hits sent three runs over the pan.
Singles by Crane, Luque and Paskert
followed by a double by See did the
work.
The big round came in he seventh
when seven runs were pushed over the
home plate Eleven men faced Jones
in this round and six of them hit safe
ly. The Reds were ass ed by Two
passes and a wild pitch.
Pitchers Show Well.
The Reds got the best pitching that
has been shown in any game this
spring. Luque and Rixey worked in
midseas son form and allowed only five
hits to the Indians. Two OF these
came in the fifth round and accounted
for the only marker on the enemy
side. Both hurlers had plenty of stuff
on the ball and good control.
Spectacular Catches.
Bressler and Crane contributed the
fielding features of the day with spec
tacular catches of line drives that
were labeled hits when they left the
bat. Cranes catch in the eighth was
a wonderful piece of work. He took
a line drive from the bat Of Kinsella
in one hand while running backward
at full speed toward left field
Bressler judged a high liner from
the bat of Schneider with equal skill
1 and checked a budding Indian rally
Fonseca was a tower of strength
around the second sack.
The Reds went to Cincinnati Thurs
day night. where they will get in
shape for two game series with the
champion Cleveland Indians.

CHICAGO. April s.-The fourteenth
victory in practice games this season
was chalked up for the Cubs yester-
day when they beat the Wichita,
Kansas team to 2, according to a
dispatch to Chicago. The Cubs have
lost but four games.
Hoke Warner held down third base
in the absence Of Chuck Deal, who was
ill and went through the game without
an error. Another game with Wichita
is scheduled for today.

or three bases.
Must Practice
You can reach certain perfection
in shoestring catching by practice,
practice-and more practice. But
even when nearly perfection don't try
for shoestringer unless you are prac
tically sure you can make it.
Of course, circumstances alter cases.
If putout is the only thing that will
save the game, try for the shoestring.
You are warranted in gambling then.
But if holding the drive to single
saves the game, whereas missing and
permitting the batter to get two or
three bases loses it, play safe by TAX
ing the ball on a bound.
l have been credited with original
ing the present day practice Of out
fielders playing in much closer to the
infield than was the custom in the
other days. My reason for playing SO
close to the bases was because in my
earliest days | noticed that many of
the opposition batsmen we're hitting
safely just back of the bags.
Moves In Closer.
! So l moved in closer and closer to
the intield. AS did so, began trap
ping drives that formerly went for
hits. My earliest manager, although
glad to note that ! was getting such
potential safeties, was worried for fear
that the other fellows would begin
driving the ball over my head.
, But I pointed out that it was the
general custom to give ordinary bats
! men credit for driving the ball farther
than they really could drive it.
| showed that for every ball hit near
| to the fences. a dozen balls would
! drop into the "Texas League" territory
on the diamond. That convinced him
that by playing in close, was of great
er value on defense than if l played
! far out.
So my advice is play close to tine bag
! in your earliest practice. Have e
/ teammate bat fungoes far over your
! head. Chase after them. That gives
you practise in making running back
| ward catches. You can't learn the
! tice makes perfect in all things-anC
! certainly does it make perfect in base

Training Wrong.
Many yOungster, getting big
! league trial, has failed because he
never practised playing in close to the
bag. He usually plays far because
that's where he played on the sane
lots. the college diamonds or the
bushes. The big league orders hin
to play in closer so as to trap Texa:
Leaguers. The kid tries it, the ball i:
hit over his head-and it gets away
Never having trained in making back
ward running catches, he can't make
good.
The only way to learn how to make
backward running catches is by play
ing close to the bag. Don't play TOT
close. Your speed-and later on-you
ability to make backward RUNNING
catches will determine how clos
you can play to the bag. The taste
you are, the nearer you can play. be
cause speed will get you backward il
time to overtake the balls that are hi
i over your head
/ You must learn your batters: lear
the hitting pecuiarities of each. Ant
you must play for them accordingly
But that's something that can't b.
t taught to you; you must learn it your
self
! Always remember that practis,
makes perfect. And while you ar
practising, don't get discouraged an
never lose faith in yourself.

U. s. MESSAGE
BLOCKS PLAN

The American note to Germany has
interfered with the French plans for
the occupation of the Ruhr basin inns
mediately after May l. That is OBJ
vious from the tenor of the best in
formed press dispatches from Lympne
in the Paris newspapers.
The nature of the comment of the
strongly nationalist organs like the
Echo d. Paris and the Liberte shows
that what they feared when they put
an unfavorable Interpretation on the
American note is actually happening.
That fear was that the note might
prevent the Ruhr occupation, on
which France is set. The object of
Premier Brands trip to England
was to convince Lloyd George that
the time for discussion was past and
obtain his assent if not cooperation
in immediate action. 1t looked as if
this would be achieved, when, accord
ing to the French idea, the American
note came like a bombshell to stiff
fen Lloyd Georges opposition to vio-
lent measures.

The optimistic chickadee.
And all the world is dead,
And hooded in a dull gray cloud
The sun sulks overhead
/ hear little chirp Of glee
From somewhere on the lilac tree;
1t is the cheerful chickadee.
The falling snow may drift and hide
The provender he seeks
And ice may seal the naked woods,
And northers blow for weeks,
But still he comes a welcome, wee,
Brave visitor, and sings to me
The pert and friendly chickadee.
He knows that through the hourglass
| The frozen flakes will run
And bring the daffodils again
To dance with wind and sun,
And so upon the lilac tree
He pipes in merry minstrelsy, -
When all the lawn is deep with snow,
