Term socialist" DisIiked.

Many California voters shere the
same feeling, that the term Socialist
carries with it certain opprobrium.
They may like La Follette-and some
OF the near-Socialists would not care
whether he was listed under the
flaming torch-but nevertheless many
other voters do not care to affiliate
even for one election with the Social
tst party.
The cry that the Supreme Court
has denied the La Toilette electors
a place on the ballot is not altogether
accurate, for it is still possible for
any voter to write in the names of
the La Toilette electors, and slips
could be furnished at the polls by
the La Toilette managers to keep the
voter from forgetting the 13 names.
But writing in the names or drag
glng reluctant number of voters
into the Socialist column is not as
simple matter being a Bile to cam

gressive" banner. In order to fix the

2r1The decision of the State Su

Judging from the expressions of
bitterness which are coming from the
La Toilette managers here, no other
Inference is possible except that their
opportunities for vote-getting have
been impaired. The Socialists, con-
forming TO the requirements of the

ILLINOIS ATHLETES
GO TO CALIFORNIA
FOR BIG DUAL MEET
Meeting of Crack Teams
Should Be Feature of
the Season.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York. April 1f.-Twenty pick
ed track and field specialists of the
University of Illinois will leave OF
Saturday for the University of Cali
fornia where they will engage in ;
dual outdoor meet against Walter
Christie's pupils at Berkeley on April
10.
Since Illini won the Western Con
ference indoor title this winter and
the Bears are outstanding on the Pa
cific coast, this meeting should rans
well up among the dual meets of the
coming. season. 1t had been hoped al
Ogden, Utah. that when the Urbana
stars arrived at that city on April
p, en- route homeward, they might
meet an all-Utah team. But this
idea has been abandoned and in the
course of their five-hour stay in Og.
den the athletes will indulge merely
in brief workout. Gill, the Illinois
trainer. writes that Indictment weather
has confined his men pretty consist.
emily to indoor work, and, as con-
sequence, he is not so optimistic con.
corning the trip as he otherwise
would be. At all events, they should
have excellent practice in the golden
sun of Pacific coast spring.
pr. Wilce of Ohio State, who Just
now is directing spring football prac.
tice, says the most important reason
why high school stars fail to blossom
into the real thing when they become
college men is that they are ur
against keener opposition than they
ever before knew and this sets then
back mentally, very often, if not
physically. The player who starred
on Main Street, Wilce points out
finds himself competing against sew.

along their own Main streets and
gets lost in the scuffle The accom-.
plished Ohio mentor might have added
that in case of high school football
stars so much work. has been thrown
upon them in their school days that
by the time they get TO college they
are either mellow or little more thar
husks. As for stars in the secondary
school, has anyone any idea that theil
trainers think anything Of a boy,
future career as a collegian? Not
at all. What they want, most If
them. is to squeeze the utmost out Of
their pupils to the end that their owl

Question: When arI by whom was
baseball invented?
Answer: Col. Abner Doubleday Of
Cooperstown, N. Y, is credited with
being the inventor of baseball in 1899.
Question: We're there at any time
or are there now any cross-handed
batters in the major leagues and who
are they? What l mean by a cross
handed batter is a right handed bat
ter holding the bat with left hand on
top of the right hand.
Answer: 1 don't know as there are
cross-handed batting pitchers at the
present time and doubt if there are
any, but there have been occasional
pitchers of that type who quickly got
out of the haAit when they got into
fast company. 1t is quite natural for
boys to start crOss-handed although
the right hand batter who crosses had
better turn round and bat left handed
and the left handed batter the reverse
way.
Question: Were there or are there
any pitchers, and who are they, who
can pitch say five innings with right
hand and then switch and pitch the
other four with left hand?
Answer: There have been three or
four really ambidextrous pitchers
good with either arm-but only one
who ever tried to pitch with both
arms in a game with success. He was
Tony Mullane. Almost all ambidex-
trous pitchers were a little afraid of
their control.

TALK GOING ROUNDS
OF STRIBLING-STONE
BATTLE IN NEWARK
Prompts PhiladeIphian to
Ask Why City Doesn't
Get Big Bouts.
BY FAIRPLAY.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
New York, April 11.-Talk is.
heard in Newark, y. j.. of a project
on foot to bring Ad Stone, a native
Jersey man. now residing in Phila-
delphia. and Young Stribling to-
gether in a 12-round bout. This in
spires n Philadelphia fan to speculate
why New York and New Jersey should
grab off all the plums with Philadel-
phia more or less out in the cold.
This is hard question TO answer.
There is no keener sporting center
than Philly and a good bout there
would attract as many fans as any
where else in the country. Perhaps
the answer is that the promotion end
of the game is not characterized by
the initiative. the willingness to take
Il chance on big money proposition.
that is shown in other places where
real fights are held.
The summer will certainly settle
the question of the worlds light heavy
weight supremacy. Mike McTigue's
hands are bad and his right forearm
seems to have gone floocy. But. in
jurcd or not. Mike will have to fight
and take his beating or else stem aside
when the pot gets 10 boiling. First of
all. Tunney will defend his American
title against Carpenter and the win
ner of the battle will surely be on the
Warmth for the world title held by
McTigue. And. By the time Tunncy
and Carpenter are through. Tommy
Gibbons may feel that there is
enough interest in the "cruiserweight +"
situation to warrant his going after
the title.
