MAJORS ARE READY.
TO TRY FOR FLAGS
Babe Ruth Is Going After New Record And
Everything Looks Rosy

NEW YORK, April 13-(By Asso-
ciated Press. THE finishing touches
to preparations for what promises to be
one of the most keenly fought pennant
races in baseball history will be applied
over the weekend by major league
pilots who have practically completed
the annual spring task of ironing out
veteran kinks and gauging rookie tai
emit
Fans who flock through the turn
stiles for the opening of the National
and American leagues next Tuesday
will view more new faces than any new
season has witnessed. Reports gath
cred from the various outfits show that
more than 30 newcomers have earned
their spurs for 1924, resulting in shake
ups that appear most notable in the
ranks of the New York Giants, Brook
Ign Dodgers and Boston Braves in the
National league and the Philadelphia
Athletics and Boston Red Sox in the
Junior circuit.
All Have Added New Blood
With the exception of the Cincinnati
Reds and New York Yankees major
changes have occurred in the lineups of
every contender. And the Reds and
Yankees, while remaining intact out
side the battery positions, have added
new blood to their pitching corps and
strengthened their reserves.
Taken as whole the clubs in both
wheels appear better balanced than in
several seasons. This is particularly
true of the American league, where such
second division outfits of of 1923 as
the Red Sox and Athletics have been
strengthened to such degree until
they appear among the outstanding OBJ
stacles in the path of the world cham
pion Yankees.
General preseason opinion, however,
has selected two clubs in each circuit
as those most likely to upset the drives
of the Yankees and Giants to set base

AN, his life Thomas Jefferson kept
itemized In absolute .faithfulness a
list of all hts personal expenses
even to the gratuities he. expended
In travelling and entertainment. We
find, for instance, that "John Cramer
is to 90 into the service OF Mr.. JEFF
ferson at $12 month and two pence
for drink. two suits Of clothes and a
pair OF boots" 1t seems that he
bought q bootjack for 3 shillings, and
the cost of countless other household
Items is as carefully set down.
We may learn, from records of this
date that in the past year Mr.. Jeffer-
son had expended in charity $1,685, Co.
He tells US that in the first three
months Of his presidency his expenses
were $566.84-and he was wrong 10
cents in his addition of the total! In
his own hand he sets down "A View
Of the Consumption Of Butchers Meat
From September s. 1901, to June 12,
1902" He knew perfectly well, in
deed, what all his household expenses
were, also what 1t cost him to main
tain his stables. He did all this book
keeping himself, and at the end Of
each year was able to tell precisely
where his funds had gone.
We may note one such annual
