MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS NOW HOME;
FANS WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITY
TO PASS ON FAVORITE PLAYERS

Cardinals and Yankees, regarded as
favorites in the preseason dope
Most of the nations fandom is
whooping it up as seldom before be-
cause it is keenly interested in whether
Ty Cobb, aided by Eddie Collins and
Zach Wheat, will ignite the Athletics
pennant fire again whether iris
Speaker, sharing with Cobb the urge
for campaign of redemption" will
make a contender out of the Senators
again; whether Bill Carrigan can re-
vive the Red Sox spirit after a ten-year
layoff; what the Giants will accom-
plish with Rogers Hornsby as captain
and Eddie Roush added to the outfield;
how eight new managers will fare,
especially Donie Bush with the Pirates
and Bob O'Farrell with the worlds
champion Cardinals; and whether Babe
Ruth will prove he is worth the $210,-
900 that the Yankees have agreed to
pay him for the next three years.
These are the high spots looming
ahead for season in which person
alities will play as prominent a part as
factors of team ambition and triumph.
They will have big sendoff Tuesday,
the opening day, when the Athletics
start their quest to fulfill Connie
Mack's pennant dream by battling
Ruth and other Rupert rifles at the
Yankee stadium.
So far as the pennant races go, they
will develop contests in which the two
Pennsylvania entries, the Athletics and
Pirates will meet their stiffest opposi-
tion from the two Metropolitan con-
tenders, Yankees and Giants, in the
opinions of more than two score base
ball writer's who contributed their
views for the first time to concen-
sus compiled by the Associated Press.
Analysis of the views of these ex-
perts, probably the best qualified Of all
to gauge relative values, shows that
29 pick the Athletics to win in the
American as against nine favoring the
Yankees, three Tigers, and one each
the Senators and Cleveland. In the Ma
tional league, 10 select the Pirats and
16 the Giants, while four favor the
Reds and only three Cardinals. The
Chicago Cubs are rated as the out
sider' of the National leagues five
principal contenders.
1t will be a miracle comparable to
the 1914 triumph of the Boston Braves,
the writer's agree, if any one of the
three clubs in either league come
through. They consigned the Braves,
Robins and Phillies to the last three
places, in that order, in the National
league and the White Sox, Browns and
Red Sox to the three last rungs on the
American league ladder.

HORNSBY'S STOCK
IN CARDINALS
BRINGS Sl16,7OO

NEW YORK, April 8. R)-The tan
gled skein of the Rogers Hornsby
stock problem were unraveled today
by an unexpected settlement under
which the famous Giants second base
man will reap a profit of more than
$4,000 on the sale of his st. Louis
club holdings.
Breaking long deadlock, principals
in the case averted a threatened legal
battle between the league and the
New York Giants in a tWo-hour con-
ference today by agreeing on a price
of $1OO a share for Hornsby's 1857
shares of stock The holdings will
revert back to Sam Breadon, ST. Louis
president, and Hornsby will play Sec
end base for the Giants in the open
ing game next Tuesday.
John A. Heydler, president of the
league, who had threatened to bar
the former Cardinal manager from
the Giant lineup unless he sold his
stock, announced that all parties in
the case have made concessions Base
ball men agreed, h w ever, that
Hornsby scored almost a complete
victory, for the price he receives is
only SIS a share short of his demands
He gets $116,7OO for stock which he
bought two years ago for only $52,515,
a profit of over 100 per cent.
On the other hand the league and
the New York club are compelled to
dip into their treasures to make up
the difference between the demands
of the former batting champion and
the price Breadon was willing to pay
1t was disclosed that Breadon had
consented to pay slightly more than
the $50 share he at first offered
Hornsby, but the bulk of Rogers
profit is expected to be extracted
from the New York club and the
National league treasures.

SOUTH GOLF TOURNEY

PINEHURST, N. G., April 3. [P)-
Playing over. a water soaked course,
George Voight of Washington today
won the United North and South Golf
championship. He defeated. Eugene
Homans, Englewood, N. j. youth, 4
and 2, in the finals, which had been
pared down from 36 to 1S holes be-
cause of a driving rain that fell
throughout the morning.
The committee in charge of the
event decided to permit an 18-hole
match to decide the event, because
Homans faced the necessity of get
ting back to school Monday morning.
This would have made it necessary
for him to forfeit to Voight if the
match had not been played today

Serious Handicap

Shortstop Travis Jackson is lost tc
the New York Giants for at least two
months. That handicap may cost
the club whatever chances it had for
winning the pennant
When 1 discussed the possibilities
of the Giants distancing the field
in the National league with Manager
John McGraw, the shortstop problem
was his greatest worry, aside from
pitching.
For two years, Travis Jackson has
been. troubled with a bad knee that
has stubbornly refused to respond
to treatment. All last winter special
lists worked on the ailing leg.
When Jackson reported this spring,
he announced the knee was as good
as ever, that he was ready to deliver
the goods in large packages.
Fully Recovered
AS 1 talked over the pennant pos
sibilities of the club, Manager Nc
Graw stressed what it meant to the
Giants to have Jackson in shape to
play the game of which he is capable.
L watched Jackson closely as he
went to his right and left, as he
ran back into the outfield~ on Texas
leaguers and came in fast on slow
infield hits.
Getting the ball, he would throw
from any position and put plenty OF
stuff on it. Only a player with a
good pair of legs can do such things
in the infield.
1t seemed that Jackson was finally
1aa1n tn
that had been predicted by the eX-
perts for couple of years.
Working with the brilliant Rogers
Hornsby, he seemed in for the best
year of his career. McGraw enthused
over his combination and the chances
of his club to win.
Hard Luck Guy
On every ball club certain athletes
are known as hard luck players
Travis Jackson plays that role on the
Giants.
With the season scarcely a week
away, Jackson was suddenly stricken
with appendicitis, necessitating an
immediate operation.
Even if the operation is successful
in every way and attended by the
most favorable circumstances, 1t is
hardly possible that Jackson will
be in shape to go into action before
June 1.
A lot of things can happen in
the first two months of play. In
that time the Giants may receive
such setback that the return of
jackson in top form won't save
the day.
On the other hand, if one of the
substitutes, Eddie Farrell, for instance
mighty fine prospect, can satisfac-
torily fill the bill, the team may
be- able to weather it's tough break
ShOrtStOp's Value
1t is baseball precedent that no
major league ball club has won a
pennant without at least a mighty
good, if not great, shortstop.
Handling the work around short
and second is the key to the chances
of every team that hopes to get
anywhere. McGraw was strong for
the Jackson -Hornsby combination.
Despite all statements to the con-
trary, few athletes seem to come

ager Harris of the Washington Sena-

shake-up in his clubs lineup, sending
Ossie Bluege and Buddy Myer back

Looking Into the Mind of Man

give his undivided attention to his
work.
For that reason, the tactics that
won woman husband will not
serve to hold him, and the wife who
tries to pique her husbands interest
in her by her indifference is more
ant to land in the divorce court than
to strengthen her position in the
mans heart.
For men do not want to be kept
guessing about their wives. they
want to be sure of them. The man
who is married to woman who
keeps him in constant doubt of her
affection, and keeps him on the verge
of a nervous breakdown with Jeal-
ousies and doubts and suspicious does
not think he has drawn much OF
prize in the matrimonial gamble.
On the contrary, he is likely to think
that he has been taken in, and ne
isn't crazy about having been so bad
ly mistaken in his judgment.
The wise woman never hesltates to
let her husband know how much she
loves him, how necessary he is to her
happiness, because her love makes the
strongest claim she can possibly have
upon him. Many a man who has
made an unsuitable marriage with a
woman with whom he had no real
companionship, and many a man who
has outgrown the woman he married
in his youth, is kept faithful to her
by the knowledge of her devotion to
him. for few husbands are heartless
enough to hurt wife who worshlps
him, or leave the woman whose whole
life is bound up in him.
Nor is there any allure of mind or
person that appeals to a man so much
as just the certainty of wife's love
and the knowledge that if all the
world turned against him, she would
still remain loyal and true.

A man engaged in the business of
enforcing the law of prohibition takes
his life in his hands, for those in the
liquor BUSINESS do not hesitate to kill
when it is necessary. It embraces
not only low brow thugs, but million
aires and social leaders.
While the common people have de-
clared for the abolition of alcohol
there are many who are determined
to go on with their consumption of
liquor.
The efforts of the convivially in
clined and those who think that their
personal liberty has been interfered
with are influenced by one of the
strongest passions in the human
breast-greed.
1t is difficult to enforce any law
when the breaking of that law is
backed up by human passions. The
laws against arson, murder, adultery
and theft are thousands of years old,
yet they are constantly violated no
matter what their evil effects.
The law against the use of liquor
is aimed at the greatest curse and
greatest cause of crime that humani-
ty has ever known.
Those who see the vileness of its
effects, the moral degradation of
youth and the damage to business
have lined up solidly for prohibition,
while against the prohibitory law are
those who are subtly influenced by
the traditional tolerance of the hui
man race to a habit that is supposed
to be genial and pardonable.
The trouble with bootlegging is
that it pays and pays big. Whoever
will take the profit out of this un-
holy business will be doing a great
service.

The liquor business is a deadly

Industry Rapidly
Moving To South

Atlanta, Ga.-Eastern industry
that has not yet learned that the
South is destined to become the great
and industrial center of America is
learning that business in some lines
has become Improbable in the east,
it was stated here today by Atlanta
manufacturers.
The South which for years furnish
ed the raw cotton for the great cot
ton mills of New England is now
competing with New England in the
manufacture of cotton goods to such
an extent, it was stated by Atlanta
manufacturers, that more New Eng
land mills are liquidating prepare
tory to retiring from business, while
others continue to come south.
Two reasons are assigned as to
why the mills in the East cannot com
pete with southern mills. First is the
proximity of the cotton in the south
and second, the difference in the type
of labor. In the East foreign labor
is in the majority while on the South,
there is very little foreign labor.
Industrialists, it was shown here,
are fast learning that the South Of
fers almost ideal climate and labor,
and has available the raw materials
needed and the potential water power
which is essential to cheaper operat-
ing costs.
Truly the South continues to come
into it's own, in the opinion of Allan
ia business leaders who were inter-
viewed on the subject today.

Dear Miss Flo:

Dear Miss Flo:
Do you think it is good policy for
wife to let her husband see how
much she loves him, and how neces-
sary he is to her happiness, or is it
better for her to appear Indifferent?
When man knows for certainty
that woman's heart is his, is he
likely to undervalue it?
| have only been married short
time, and | am anxious to keep my
husbands love. Please advice me.
&C. A.
A mans attitude toward love I'M
dergoes a radical change on his we'd
ding day.
We all know that before marriage
the more woman is to win the more
the more the man promises her, and
the more a woman is OWN the more
the man pursues her, and the more
woman throws herself at man
the more adroitly he lodges her.
During the period of courtshlp the
thing that is of more Importance to
him than anythoing else in the world
is the state of mind of the girl he
loves. It's wonderful, sentimental
adventure, and he follows all her
moods. When she is coy and diff
cult it arouses all his sporting in
stinct, and when he succeeds in tax
ing her away from his rivals, and she
finally surrenders to him, ne is thrill
ed with sense of being a conquer
ing irresistible hero.
But marriage is a different story
altogether. A man expects the cap
ture to end the chase, and he doesn t
want to have it run on the balance
of his life. He expects marriage to
finish all doubts, fears, heart aches
and speculations about the woman
he loves, so that he will be free to

PRINCETON IN ROW
OVER BAN ON AUTOS
Student Council Resigns Due
to Order "vitaIIy Affecting
| Undergraduate Life"
BY the Associated Press.


PRINCETON, n. J.. March l.
AS a sequel to faculty prohibition
of student automobiles, Princeton
University today was without stu
dent government. The senior council,
undergraduate governing body, has
rendered its resignation to- the stu
dent body to take effect Immediately.
Joseph Prendergast of Evanston,
ILL.,, foot ball back, chairman of the
council and president of the senior
class, explained that the council was
expressing neither approval nor dis
approval OF the automobile order, but
was concerned merely with the prin-
ciple of the order.
I'VE feel" he said, that under
the present system. the senior coun-
ell is allowed to pass rulings SO long
as they fit in with the administra-
lions plans. Any other regulations
are frowned upon"
Faculty Cites Reasons for Order.
Last week the faculty gave orders
that after July ! next no student,
while at Princeton, should own or
operate automobiles. The reasons
were the lower general scholastic
average of motorists and seven IA
talities in a year, in which student
motorists figured.
y
that students must register their au
tomobileS with the dean and prove
that their parents approved the use
of cars. In the opinion of the faculty
this failed to remedy the situation
and other restrictions We're sought,
but the council failed to heed the
1aculty's request.
A letter to students from the senior
council announcing it's resignation
says that "a decision vitality affecting
undergraduate life has recently been
reached with disregard for student
opinion"
Why Students Object.
One thing that especially aroused
the students in connection with the
recent faculty order was lack of pro-
vision for use of cars at week end
dances Princeton is in the country
and students have been accustomed
10 meet their fair guests with cars at
the main line railroad station, several
aGies from the university.
Dean Christian Gauss was largely
responsible for the auto ban. He is
the subject OF various headlines in
