BRAVES HOPEFUL
 FOR NEXT SEASON
Club Owners Are Heartened by
 Strong Finish Of Last Year

Boston, Jan. 1S Rl-Heartened by the strong finish the club made last season the Braves, Boston's National League Baseball club, look forward to a first division position in 1926.
 4 heavy migration that may break all club records for southern train ing trips will begin about February q when the advance guard reports at St, Petersburg, Fla. Approxi- mately 60 men will work out in the southland before the season opens.
 The size of the squad. the club maintains, is only further evidence of the effort being made to build up winning combination. The group will include some members of the Providence, R, l.. Eastern league team, now controlled by the Braves.
 Recruits and new material will be plentiful in the outfit going south to train under the eyes of Manager Dave Bancroft and Capt. Dick Ru 1 dolph. The club acquired Jimmy Johnston. veteran infielder, from Brooklyn in cash deal and parted with Catcher Mickey O'Neil and out | fielder Gus Felix to obtain Eddie Brown. outfelder, and Jimmy Fay Tor, catcher, from the Dodgers. Another important addition is Harry Riconda, third baseman draft ed from the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league. Riconda played with Springfield and New Haven in the Eastern league and had a trial with the Athletics cou- pie of years ago. Duffy Lewis. Red Sox outfielder. says that Riconda Is major league material.
 The pitching staff in the south will carry a Cuban and an Indian. Archie Kelsey. left handed Indian pitcher who played last year with the Waterloo team in the Mississippi Valley league, and Oscar Estrada Of Havana, who pitched last season for the Tampa club in the Florida State league are slated for the training trip and another candidate Is Eddie Van Brunt, giant boYman of the l Dover. Del, team.
 Among the inhelders bidding for places will be Horace Kibbe, for merly of Worcester; Eddie Taylor. with Albany at shortstop last sea- son, and Herb Thomas, formerly with Worcester.
 The club looks for big season from such seasoned pitchers as Johnny Cooney and Larry Benton, who will be aided by Kyle Graham, Joe Genewich. Rosey Ryan. Rob Smith, Estrada, Kelsey and Van Brunt. The veteran Frank Gibson. will divide the catching task with Taylor.
 Dick Burrus looks strong at first base and Walter (Doc) .Gautreau is expected to be more seasoned and valuable second baseman. This mid get from Holy Cross appears to have been one of the finds of 1925. Ban croft will be in his usl1Fl shortstor position and Johnston Is slated for third base. The inf1eld reserves in. clude Andy High. Ernie Padgett Riconda, Taylor and Thomas.
 A lively battle for utf1old posts is anticipated Frank Wilson, former Boston College star. Jimmy Welsh Bernie Neis, Les Mar5, Frank Ro- gan, Brown and Dave Barron from Charlotte, N. C.

monthly meeting.
"Mussolim is neither demagogut
nor a reactionary; he is u patriotic

dictator in the generally understood
sense of the word. He holds his po'
sition and power by the oyerwheml'
ingly expressed will of the people and
with the approval of the constitution
al head of the state. the king"
The bankers were opposed by DR.
William Y. Elliott, lecturer on gov
eminent at Harvard university. The
Mussolini government, he said, as
based on force and fear. Personal lib
erty and liberty fthe press no long
er exist in Italy and the violence OF
Fascism will be met by eounter-vlo-
lence in the future.
"Fascism," continued DR.. Elliott, SIS
merely an organized body of armed
thugs who will remain in control until
the public arise. The people in Italy
do not dare talk, nor do Italians a
broad dare discuss the government

the Mexican land and oil laws that has
been prepared by Senior Saenz, seere.
tary of Foreign affairs at Mexico City
This law provides that Mexico viii
control mineral lands in certain cases
and that foreign capitalists shall be
under jurisdiction Of Mexican courts
The American government claims thai
certain features of the laws are retro
active and confiscatory.
Defending the right of Mexico Il

that of the United States He saic
that by means of immigration laws
foreigners were practically barret
from establishing themselves in thil
country, in great part of which resi-
dence Is required as a condition to IN,
acquisition of real property.
Laws simila ito the provisions con
tained in the organic law of Mexico
he declared, have been enacted in Afi
zona and Illinois.
Arizona, he said, passed a law IL
1918, under which only American citi
zens, OF those declaring their int~fi
ton to become naturaliZed, are per
mitted to acquire real property, ant
in Illinois there exist similar provi
sions, but with greater restrictions
this law only granting a period of five
years in which foreigners must dis
pose of the properties which the have
and if they fail to do so their lands
will be confiscated To the benefit OF
