WEST SIDE PLAYERS
BEAT EAST S|DERS
FOR CITY PENNANT.
TIGHT GAMES ARE PLAYED FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP HONORS VIC.
TORS THEN TURN AROUND
AND WALLoP ALL STARS.

Bringing the playground ball sea
son to a close yesterday afternoon
the west side team won the league
championship from the fast east
siders In a ten inning battle staged
at the north side diamond, The game
was fast from start to finish and was
as full Of thrills as any game played
anywhere in this city. Both teams
started out strong and scored two in
the first. After that the east siders
took the lead aud held it till the
ninth when a three run rally by the
boys from Shabbona park put them
in the lead by one run margin. The
east siders then came back with a
marker and tied the score at II
all. In the first half of the tenth Sui
Ivan got base hit and scored on
Engle's two base drive to left field.
The team from the east end tried
hard in the ninth and loaded the
bases with two down only to have
Carmichael strike out.
The league champs then played an
all star team and beat them in nine
innings. The score was IL TO 10. The
west siders took the lead and were
never headed at any time of the
game.
Dwyer of the west side pitched good
ball both games, but in the first fray
he did rot have good control and al
most walked the game away His
team played good hall behind him
and although Nley have three errors
marked against them their defense
showed up brilliant at times and the
playing helped Dvger out of one
or two bad innings with sparkling
plays that would do credit to men
twice their age
I a lot of praise goes to the east
side battery 1t was the good pitch
ing of Simms and the hitting of GIL
man that kept their team in the
game. Simms pitched just as good
a game as Dwyer, but his backing
was not as reliable.
In the second game the hitting Of
Hetzner of the All Stars and Meagher
of the Champs and the fielding OF
First Stacker Dougherty. also of the
west side team. featured Both HetZ-
ner, product Of the south side. and
Meagher got four hits and as many
runs in four times to bat. Dougherty
made several beautiful running
catches in back Of first and took all
the throws, good, bad or Indifferent,

MIR. Hughes's New Aids

The Department of State is under
gong several important changes in
ITS personnel. Henry Fletcher, for
merly Ambassador to Mexico, has
resigned as Under Secretary of State
10 take the post Of Ambassador to
Belgium, and William Phillips. now
Minister to Holland and formerly
ASSISTANT Secretary of State, has
been appointed in his place. So also
Fred Morris Dearing has resigned
as Assistant Secretary of State to
be Minister to Portugal, and Leland
Harrison, one of the secretaries Of
the American delegation to the peace
conference in Paris, has taken his
place
The changes show that the Admin
lstratlon appreciates the Importance
OF having trained men in the State
department. Critics claimed when

that the politicians wished to fiji
their places with deserving parti-
sans. Inasmuch as both positions
require an intimate knowledge of
international relations, to appoint in
experienced men would have been
unfortunate. But these critics have
been confounded and their dire pre-
dictlons have come to naught.
Nlr. Phillips was one of the saving
forces IN the foreign service during
the Bryan regime, and by his expe-
rlence and tact did what he could to
prevent the complete decentralization
of the personnel. Under Mr.. Lansing
he proved valuable aid. His re-

But the goats didn't matcrialize any
more than the whales. Again thrift
was without opportunity for action.
Now from Washington comes the
tidings that buffalo and reindeer are
in the market at prices calculated to
put the Chicago packing houses out
of business. The reindeer hail from
Alaska. the buffalo from Alberta
Both are frozen to keep them sweet
and wholesome.
Again is hope kinded. Once more
the man who has just paid his first
income tax instalment sees q
chance to save something with which
to pay the next. But we warn our
readers against optimism. Buffa-
loes once existed in million lots on
the plains, but perished from the
earth as soon as they began to be
hunted. Reindeer come from
Alaska, and freights from Alaska
are high. AS yet we find quota
tions on neither animal in the mar
ket column 1t is to be feared that
the great expectations awakened
by the prospect Of a flood of REIN
deer and buffalo meat will vanish in
a day. as did the hope that was
founded upon the meat of whales
end goats.

information Wanted

The claim that the coal operators
are forced to reduce wages and to
lower the price of coal so as to COM
pete with foreign producers is diff
cult of verihcaton for the reason
that the profits of many Of the big
coal companies can be computed only
by reassembling figures often dis
tributed among two or three con-
Germs.
So, for example, in the anthracite
industry the relationship of the rail
roads with the mining and selling
companies is close. Controlling the
greater portion Of the anthracite
output of the country, several of the
railroads make their principal profits
from coal. To ascertain what these
profits amount to is practically out
of the question for the general pub
lie. The mining company, which
may be owned entirely or in part bv
the railroad company, often will sell
to a selling company, also controlled
by the railroad, which in turn will
sell to the railroad and to the public.
The mining company thus may show
on its books selling price allowing
for only reasonable profit. But
the selling company will show sep
arate profit. AS detailed informa-
ton of the financial condition of
most of the selling companies is not
published in the standard manuals.
the public is kept in ignorance of the
profit made by them and it's relation
to the service that they render.
The Federal Trade Commission
endeavored to collect information
about the entire industry, but failed
to obtain sufficient data on which to
form fair opinion. Important
items were omitted as to the cost of
mining and no adequate figures of
the investment in the mines were OBJ
tanned.
1t is obvious, therefore, that if the
public. which is directly concerned in
the industry, is to have the informa
tion to which it is entitled some gov
ernment body must be charged with
the work of collecting and making
public information and statistics as
to all branches of the coal industry.
Ihe present confusion in interrela
tlonship of mining and selling COM
panles and the railroads makes if
virtually impossible to obtain accu
rate information in any other man
ner. If the public is to iudge-as
ooth sides soon will be calling upon
1t to Judge--it must have definite
data.

The Rude Awakening

For few fleeting hours Monday
Commissioner Enright took the war
path against crime Word came
from the City Hall that new city
ordinance forbade women to smoke
IN hotels and restaurants. Instantly
there sped from Police Headquarters
stern order to enforce this ordi-
nance at all costs and at all risks.
Here was a. chance for action that
was not to be overlooked.
True, the highwayman was still ply
ing his trade and his blackjack. But
even though revolvers smoked on the
streets women must not smoke in
hotels and restaurants. No more. if
Mr.. Enright could help it. should
little, pitiful children. with tears
streaming down their faces, implore
their mothers to lay aside the loath-
some cigarette and hurry home to
tell the bedtime story.
Intrepid policemen inspired by
their still more intrepid chief, were

ready 10 snatch, if need be. the for
laden weeds from the teeth of in
furiated femininity The law was
the law. 1t must be enforced. Espe-
cially when it was broken by women.
Meanwhile the bandit and the gar
roter practiced their arts. The boot
logger, his corded clothes-box under
his arm, tapped daily on the door of
the tired business man to inquire
what it would be to-day. But even
these established residents were wor-
ried. Once the Commissioner had
loosed the fatefuI lightning of his
wrath, where might it strike next?
But action endureth for the night.

Hope Springs Eternal

Requoting Patrick Henry from
Daniel Webster, 1T is natural for
man to indulge in the illusions of
hope When, some years ago, the
public was informed that whale
meat was cheaper and more nu-
tritious than beef, thrifty house
wives went to the butcher
shops to lay in whale roasts
for their Sunday dinners. The only
reason they did not adopt the new
diet was that the butchers didn't
have any whale meat in stock and
didn't know where any was to be
had.
When weeks and months passed
by and never hind quarter of a
whale was seen hanging from the
hook in the butchers window hope
of meat to fit the purse was aban-
doned. But only temporarily. Soon
there was talk of vast herds of goats
roaming the West and ready to be
driven en- masse into the abattoirs.

The Anti-Navy Mania

The House of Representatives
voted on Monday to increase by s15,-
COCO the budget total for rivers
and harbors. All the pork-barrelers
rallied to their favorite battle cry,
The Old Flag and an Appropria-
tion' There is money to waste on
log-rolling schemes for the benefit of
scattered constituencies; but the AK
Of false economy is being laid to es-
sential national services like the
army and the navy.
The House seems to be behind the
Appropriations Committees insist
ence on cutting the enlisted person
mel Of the navy down to $1,000. This
is an inadequate force. The navy's
efficiency cannot be maintained with
only Go, 900 seamen. We are about to
ratify a. five-power treaty. which
fixes the capital ship strength of the
three leading sea powers--Great
Britain, the United States and Japan
ON a 5-5-3 ratio basis. The
American fleet is put on an equality
with Great Britain's and ahead of
Japan's in the proportion of to 8.
But ships are useless without men.
TIE Appropriations Committees pol
icy would cut the American fighting
strength in personnel not only below
Great Brtain's, but below Japan's.
We should sink to third place as a
naval power.
The British personnel will be re-
duced by March 81. 1923, to 98,470
officers and men. There will be 1900
officers and men in the colonial
navies. There will also be $4,000 re-
serves, We have reserve force Of
about 10000. If Congress cuts down
the strength of the enlisted force to
So 600 our total force after July |
next (ncluding oficers) will be at
least 10000 below Great Britains.
Japan has 1882 men and 9,088 Off
GERS in active service. She would
probably not make any reductions
bringing her fighting strength as low
as ours.
The Navy Department asked for
10000 men and 5000 apprentices.
That would be a minimum strength.
To operate our treaty battle fleet,
with its auxiliaries. and TO keep
proportionate enlisted strength
ashore, would require ABOUT 10000
men. Secretary DENLY has made, per-
maps, too great concession to de-
structive economy; but to cut the en-
listed force to $4,000 would mean
converting the fighting fleet into a
non-combatant feet and destroying
ITS value as an arm Of national de-
fense. The alleged saving would not

navy would be wasted on navy for

and worthless for the purposes for

PERSONAL Iibertv

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; S. B. Langworthy in to-dav's
Tribune would have us believe that the
old farmer out West who insisted on
his right to turn his cattle loose on
his neighbor's land was in the same
position as the opponents of prohibi-
tion who insist on having their per-
scnal liberty.
There is an utter lack of logic here
that is rather remarkable. The old
farmer insisted on his right to invade
others property and to likewise an
noy them. The man who takes drink
y his own home is minding his own
business and not in the least disturb
ing others
The cid farmer could never continue
his practice in spite of the law; those
here who wish to keep their personal
rights do so and the law is nowerless
to stop them.
That part of the prohibition law
which is sensible has been obeyed (the
closing of the saloon); that part which
lnterfered with personal liberty has
not been obeyed 1t is being laughed
at and joked with until all law is beino
respected less than ever
