That 1t can never be otherwise
seems almost impossible. Yet 1t is
by all odds the greatest cause Of
war. and until 1t is overcome wars
as frequent and as terrible as those
Of the past will continue to scourge
the earth.
The question I have been asking
myself for the last two or three
years has been this: Have we as
the result of the terrible expert
ences of the late war and of the
victory Of the allies, any real Sc
curity against a repetition Of a
world war. To this question I
have to answer No.
For the moment We have peace
In the military sense and there Is
no danger of a war such as that
of 1916, because Germany Is dis
armed and the preponderance Of
military strength on the allied side
is simply overwhelming. There is
another Insurance against an early
repetition Of SO titanic a collision.

This player jumped center~for the

April, If weather conditions permit.
Arthur Romer, southpaw twirler,
who has been the mainstay of Tot

good many seasons. will probably be

duty during the coming season.
An effort will be made to strength

already some of the leading players
in this vicinity have been approach
ed by representatives of the Aque-
honga club. 1t is likely h a the

tive team will be made within the
next couple of weeks.
1t was decided at Monday nights
meeting to hold a dance after Lent
for the benefit of the team. NO de-
cision has been reached regarding
the number of games to be played
by the Aquehonga team each week.
1t was rumored a short time ago
that the team might play n twi-
light games a week, and also con-
tests on Saturday and Sunday.

PREPARE FOR
SEASON START
Big League Teams Are Tun-
ing Up for Annual
Grind

April IL, the day on which the Ma
tional and American League sched-
ules will be started is fast approach
ing. The sixteen teams are busily
engaged in the south tuning up Tor
the Opening OF the 1922 grind, and
from present indications baseball
will have one of it's greatest seasons
throughout the country.
Inter-league games have been
started as usual. but little interest
is taken in the result of these games
because of the fact that n team
might lineup with a gathering OF
| rockies while the other outfit may
use it's regular lineup. These games
have seldom given n worthy adj
vance dope on the strength OF the
teams in either league. For instance
q team ma lose every game on an
exhibition tour and when the league
games are started, the tide may
change entirely. =
Players who weeks ago declared
that their teams would be met or
they were through with the game
forever. have realized the strength
of their statements and as a result
are rapidly swinging into line. There
are few holdoutI at this date.
