A Hold.Over Ball Club.

The team of necessity will be much
the same as that of last year with one
department noticeahly strengthened
The club promises to get some good
catching. Fred Hoffman. formerly of
the Yankees, has returned to the ma
Tors after a stay at St. Paul, and with
Grover Hartley. veteran major
Lacquer. but still a good receiver and
fair hitter, will do the catching. The
only contest behind the bat is for the
position of third catcher. Clifford
Knox, who had a trial with Pitts
burgh, seems to be the best prospect
The Sox have picked up two likely
infielders, although their immediate
entrance into the lineup is doubtful.
Paul Wanninger, who played some
good ball for the Yankees, is on hand
and making an impressive showing.
Russell RolIings. who played last year
With both Portsmouth and Mobile.
has shown great promise and Is a GER
tainty to fill a utility role, If he is
ruled shy of enough experience to
get him a regular place now.
Probable InfieId Lineup.
Manager Carrigan has said that he
knows so little of his players that he
has not even attempted to line them
up in any array calculated to do the
most damage to opposing clubs. but it
seems probable that the infield will
be composed of Todt at first base,
Regain at second. Rigney at short and
Haney at third. William Rogell. ad.
vanced from the International League,
seems to be slated for a utility role
along with Rollins and Wanninger.
The outfield presents a problem in

Doll Jacobson will take care of one
place with Ira Flagstead fianking him.
John Tobin, q veteran who still is
good player, must be considered and
two younger players have made their
presence felt in the Spring. Roy

THE L. s. STEEL REPORT

The L.. S. Steel corporation has for long time been r. garded as a species of business barometer. It's vast ramifications justify this stand ing in the American industrial com monwealth, along with the railroad industry and the manufacture of automobiles. Its annual report. made public yesterday. indicates it did the greatest business since 1920. which was the peak year in its history. Reports so far received this year in- dicate the steel corporation is con- tinuing along this prosperous avenue and there is scarcely any doubt in the minds of competent observers that the prosperous era will continue during the year, although it is evil dent that all corporations are not sharing in this prosperity equally. It is a "spotted' era, with some concerns doing remarkably well. 1 while others are not; but some of those which are suffering from poor trade are drawing upon their sur pluses to keep their stockholders satisfied

When il is possible 10 restore life of an infant after it is pro rounccd dead by q competent phy- sician, as was done in Chicago through artificial respiration, even the most casual will have to admit that modern miracles can be per formed. Most remarkable is inc fact that in suburb artificial res plration had prolonged the life O. q man for days and that this sug- gested recourse 10 the same method with regard to the infant. Thus one heroic effort. although unsuc- cessful, led 10 another attempt which SO far has been successful. one can well imagine how the moth er of this child, all but resurrccted from the dead, feels about il; and her Joy no doubt is shared by the res sourceful hospital attendants who seized their opportunity 10 bring back the flickcring life of this child.

\ VICTORY FOR THE tOLDRED RACE.

The |. $. Supreme court has giy- n more important decisions so far this year than during any similar period of recent history. To the rec crd Of this great tribunal has been added one that will be hailed with satisfaction by millions Of colored citlzons Throughout the country, and perhaps deplored by countless real estate operators and property owners
 This reference, of course, is to the decision that segrygetlng ordinances in Louisiana anl New Orleans arc unconstitutional. II so happens that Louisiana is not the only state, and New Orleans is not the only city where segregation laws are en- forced; they sprinkle the south south of the Mason and Dixon line. Col orel people ar" not permitted to live on some streets, or in some sec uons Of cities; they are confronted #Ith Jim Crow cars on the trains. in which they are forced 10 ride. and if traffic is not enough 10 justi- ey special cars for colore1 passon- rars. they are forced 10 occupy cor rrrs or sections of the regular coaches, tdt, applying particularly 10 street cars and bussos,

! NltIIM OF POISON G.Ne

World war veterans in Meriden arc in mourning over the passing Of . Charles Brizando Of that city. who WAS one ot cle outstanding heroes
 Q. Company I. Io2n1' regiment, which by the way was composed Of
 Nsw Britain as well as Meriaen young men after the regiments for nation. Brigardo was decorat- eI for bravery by the American,
 French and Italian governments and lt may he mentioned that ! decorations Of Americans by the 1 Italian government were rare and only when unquestionably earned. ! Brigando died at Saranac Lake. \. T., from the effects Of poison gas The life story Of Brigando since the war may be regarded as illus
 trating how poison gas so frequent . ly sticks to its victims for years and
 finally eyacfs the supreme sacrifice long after the conflict is over. Brigando was returned from overseas as a casualty and was quorterel for year or more at Camp Devens, where he was finally discharged as "cured." Possessing
 marked dramatic ability he was
 given q scholarship by the govern mcHt 10 New York dramatic school, where he was schooled in the technics of dramatic art. He then went to Hollywood and ap- 1 peared in subsidiary roles with the i Famous piaycrs-I- -I-asky forces, ap- bearing in four productions. which when they were shown in this city
 were the exposure of all war veter-
 ans who knew of Brigandos par
 ticipation in the pictures.
 The effect Of the poison gas, ! however, remained in his system | and while al Hollywood he suffered breakdown and was sent 10 Sara nae Lake. where he was for more
 than three years before death came.
 There are some who have good
 word to say for poison gas. and
 they claim to be experts They say . the casualties arc few" and re- GOV cries many. Yet We are con-
 stantly reading of war veterans still dying from the effects of the poison.
 When it is realized that poison ! gas as it was used in the World i War is but child's toy compared 1 with the powerful chemicals which have been invented since that time and which can be let loose in ex- i terminating quantities upon non- com batants and combatants alike : in any future conflict the efforts to
 bar the use Of such unciviizcd tac- ! ties appear entirely justified.

PRISON BREAKS

Twice within week there have been attempted prison breaks in Illinois, with similar attempts reg istcred in few other states, includ- ing Alabama. Keeping prisoners under control apparently has not yet been made 100 per cent efficient When one considers the concentra- tion of desperate men large mod ern prison represents 1t might be nothing remarkable that murderous attempts to gain liberty are fre- qucntly made.
 What is hard to understand, how ever, IS the frequency with which guns are smuggled to prisoners from the outside, sometimes resulting in one or two prisoners gaining their liberty over the bodies of guards. A pcnologist recently wrote that the guarding of prisoners is really a weak feature, all things considered. in some penitentaries. where guards are allowed 10 make a practice of taking presents" etc, to prisoners for a consideration, or take notes from prisoners 10 friends on the outside for pay. If this practice is widely prevalent the frequent at tempted prison breaHs are not ie- markahlc.

\ DRILL TOWER

An athletic training is just as necessary to a city fireman as it is 10 q basketball player. or d football player. The firemen put their train ing 10 practical account when 1t is question Of climbing up a ladder, rushing Up stairs, and in other re- spects following their calling of putting out fires and saving human life.
 T. such training in the past has been deficient, it ought to improve ra pidly within the next year, for the board Of fire commissioners will soon have work started on the cree ton Of q drill tower in the rear Of the new No. : fire station on Stan ley street. This last word in drill towers will be used by the firemen Of all the other stations in their training, the mon taking turns as schedules are arranged. IL is des- tined 10 be a first class athletic training ground for the men who need 1t in their business.
 The development Of agility is q point in fireman's life that is easily overlooked by the general public; and indeed, with the lack of an adequate drill tower for the local department it has not received the attention it has deserved. When this new drill tower is In operation firemen will develop an agility akin 10 wild cats.
