Most important of all was the

three making their initial starts

of the exhibition games.

Griffith's claims after the game.
eyes, and it looked equally
as good to me-" was Manager
Joe CrOnin's views. 1--WE were
defeated, it is true, but the boys
certainly played well against
such opposition as only a big
league team will Offer"
The showing of Monte Weaver
was particularly noteworthy to
the wiser heads.
Worked COOlly
The lad, although he gave up
the hits that won the game for
the Indians in that ninth inning,
went about his work during his
three innings of toll that COM
manded everyone's attention, be-
cause Monte was cooler than ever
seen at any other time in his
short career as a big league
pitcher.
Griff and Cronin believe that
Monte will experience even a bet
ter season than last if his work
is as cooF and collected during the
coming campaign as it was
throughout his test last Saturday
against the Indians.
Success hasn't bothered the
North Carolinian one bit, they
argue, and they vision only
greater success this year if Monte's
health stays good and nothing
happens to that sturdy right arm
of his.
Weaver, who was the sensation
of the 1882 race because of his
total of % victories as a rookie
pitcher, is being counted on as
one of Manager Cronin's first
five" this year. This means he'll
take his regular turn in the box
with such stars as Gen. Alvin
Crowder, Lefty Walter Stewart,
Alphonse Thomas and Lefty Earl
Whitehill.
Rockies Unrest
Ordinarily this recognition
would cause the usual run Of
rockies undue unrest because Of
the idea that so much was to be
expected of them. But not Monte,
as he's the same performer men
tally as if he was a veteran and

Weaver has taken the training

he realizes that pitcher must
get himself in the best Of shape
to- stay successful. He has trained
earnestly from the very first day
of drills and has rounded into
trim like few others on the team

CALLS FOR
 RUSSIAN MEMORANDA

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, (P1 = Despite the opposition of the Am erican Legion, President Roose- welt has called for complete memoranda on the question of Russian recognition. In high ad- ministration circles 1t is said that the chances are fifty-fifty for. re- cogntion. It will be taken up shortly for disposition. It is in- dicated, however, that while the decision lay with the President, it is. netslikely- that quick @andzun- conditional recognition will be ganted, which has been strongly urged. On the, other hand, it appeared probable that final action will be reached through negotia- ;,tions, covering a number of points of difference which requir- ess time to adjust. The Russians desire recognition of credits which will enable her to make purchases of goods needed. The United States desires to recognize Russia and @to open te way for full and profitable commercial relations.

Another Blow at Old
MYTH Of "Weaker Sex"

Women In England live longer than
men.
Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, the
famous physician, says this Is due to
the fact that women. far from being
the weaker sex, are stronger than
men.
Official figures show that in Lon
don alone. out OF eighteen c%entenari-
ans, all but one are women.
In England as a whole, there are
twice as many women over the age
Of eighty-six as men. yet. according
to latest statistics, 1,O45 boys to ev-
cry 1000 girls are born each year.
THE reason for women's longevity
Is not far to seek" says Sir William
Arbuthnot Lane.
women are quite definitely the
stronger Of the two sexes. The term
weaker sex Is utterly unscientiic
and needs qualifying a very great
deal.
1T Is true that women have not
the muscular strength of men. In
fact, strenuous exercise as INDUCED
In by men Is definitely harmful to
women.
"WOmen's fashions also tend to
keep them healthy. Both air and
sunshine can get to their SKINS

Life's Plan Not
Based on Speed

A lesson for those who may be dis
couraged by the seeming slowness
made In the advancement of the
world Is contained In the following
pertinent observations by a noted
American woman writer:
mine thousand miles a minuteI
That's the speed the earth is max
Ing. Nine thousand miles a minute.
scientists tell us now, around the GEN.
ter of Its star system.
Were you overcome when they told
you about the air races. where they
tried to push past the mark OF 300
miles nm hour? Compared to 1000
miles a minute that doesn't look SO
big.
There are two ways OF looking Ht
that. One woman I know would say.
What's the use? Why put ourselves
out-whatever We can achieve Is moth
ing-we may as we'll take It easy.
Silly. those humans. scurrying around
like hysterical ants to beat each other
to something. tearing themselves to
pieces, breaking their hearts to
achieve something here. improve
something there. II you want TO
know what 1t all amounts to. lust
think OF THOSE racers breaking their
necks to top the record by another
mile. when the earth %saunters around
with no trouble Mt all Mt 9.nM niIcs
to the mInnte!
Then there Is the woman know
who would smile wisely and say, TT
all men and women had felt TINT way
about It we should still be wearing
skins and hunting our food with
stones and clubs. The difference
between life as 1t Is today and the
most primitive existence lies In the
countless and almost imperceptible
improvements attained at great cost.
n after another. by brave and
dauntless men and women who had
their eyes or n goal and did mot stop
until they got there. II Is not the
isolated gain here or there, but the
measure of the whole picture which
gives us true perspective In the
matter
For my part. | am inclined to
agree with the woman who says
What's the use !s--as far as those
are concerned whose life Is one I'M
restrained rush. who are In such a
hurry to get somewhere TINT they
miss everything that Is worth while
along the way. who are SO intent on
success that life passes them by.
However, 1t Is not what they are
after that Is foolish. but the way
they are going after 1t.
For. as our second friend says. no
achievement. no improvement. no for
ward step is to be despised. That one
mile of Improvement over the last
best record may be more important
In the scheme of things than the nine
thousand a minute which the earth
losses off with no trouble at all. For
1t signifies progress. a step forward.
And when the efforts of man have
had as much time ms this MD world of
ours has had for experiment, who
knows how contemptuously we may
look upon that record OF our universe
which now points so proudly to nsne
thousand trips a minute?"
