Economist Forecasts
Age VS.. Youth Struggle

DR.. Frank S. Dickinson, Univer-
sity of Illinois economist, foresees
the approach of class struggle be-
tween age and youth.
He said in an address recently that
the "war of the pensionnaires" would
unfold as a problem star more de.
manding" than the oft-discussed con.
fiict between capital and labor.
DR.. Dickinson said the decreasing
birth rate and the increasing life
span were causes behind the "strug-
gle of classes in America" But he
said he does not expect the strug-
gle to become critical until 1880,
when, he estimated, there will be
rs, 100000 persons in the United
States more than IS years of age.
He visioned possible results of
what he predicted would be "the
greatest cultural and social change
since the fall of Rome" as follows:
Pension-taxation claiming one
fourth the income Of workers and
employers.
Destruction of the two major POI
litical parties.
Control by the ''hand that rocks
the rocking-chair."
Substitution of ''votocracy" for
democracy, with one Of every four
voters over the 65-year mark.

The honey-colored dusk paled,
deepened to the mauve of twilight.

pricked a frightened pattern across
the sky. Gay stirred in Johns

face. Quite a bit here will depend
on Gehringer's condition, one of the
great ball players of all time.
Jimmy Dykes may swing his
White Sox into the first division, but
it will take gallant thrust to ac-
complish this.
Mr.. Mack's Athletics are still an
uncertain quantity. He has some
good young talent, but it still needs
more seasoning. His team may
move up a notch, but I can't see
them much higher than the seventh
notch.
The Browns will be better ball
club. But they still have long way
to go.
The Older League
Conditions in the National are
much looser, much more tangled
and uncertain than they are in the
American.
The Cardinals and Reds are close
to a tOssup. Bill McKechnie needs
much more help for his two star
pitchers than he got last year. Der
ringer and Walters are two Of the
best in baseball, but Thompson,
Whitley Moore and Wander Nicer,
plus some rookie, must come to
their aid.
The Cardinals, a young team last
year, came from IA games back
after a slow start to make a pen
nant bid in late September. You
must admit they have been none too
hot this spring. But big league
race is something different.
If they all pile in and give the
best they have, the net result should
be enough to win. They have a
strong combination of youth and ex-
perience in their pitching staff-and
they have Mize and Medwick.
can't figure any other pennant
possibilities from the other six
clubs. Brooklyn, Chicago and Pitts
burgh should be well punched.
There is little to choose here.
: Frisch will make the Pirates dan
gerous. I still like the rating I sug-
gested above.
can't figure the Giant infield get
ting any too far. Nor the Giant out
field. The Giants may get away
nicely. They are quite apt to do
so. But I don't believe they can
hold any hot pace after June or
July. There are too many weak
spots on Terry's club-too many
fading veterans.
Anything can happen in this
league for the first few weeks.
After that I expect to see the Reds
and Cardinals gradually pull away
mot too far, but far enough to carry
one of these teams into another

his hand gently upon her head.

"I'm afraid of Kate. I'm afraid

They walked, hands joined, up the
path from the landing to the cabin.
As he opened the porch door for
her, she halted.
Someone is herel" She dropped
his hand.
The windows were raised. Through
the screening came a nurmur Of
voices inside the cabin. Gay took
few steps away from him, glanced
in, then turned. In the light flood
ing through the window he saw that
her face was grave and startled.
"Who-" The question caught in
his throat. He took step.
"Todd is here" she said and was
silent.
He caught her arm, drew her close
to him.
"Gay," he asked, you're all

Her face relaxed. She smiled up
at him.
"All yours" she said.
Gay took a cigarette from box
on the table. Todd, seated in a
chair beside the hearth, snapped a
lighter. John, standing, half leaning
against the chimney, struck match
Both made a movement toward her.
"Thank you, but never mind" Her
bright strained glance went from
one to the other. She rose from
the couch. "I'n do it my way. They
taste better" She held the cigarette
over the lamp chimney until its tip
glowed red. s'Do you remember,
Todd? learned that trick at Tory

there and storm cut off the cleo

"Tory knows plenty OF tricks"
Todd sat back in his chair. "By

John, breaking frightening ST.

"Not often, now," John replied
civilly. 81 used to when was in

"It's a good one." Todd rose,

increasing interest.

Nov that new baseball season
is blooming again, there are
possibly a number of clients who
would like to be carried from the
present into the closing days Of
September. The main purpose Of
this quick voyage will be to see the
standings Of the clubs on closing
day-not opening day.
Here is your correspondents
surge into the future, as the future
looks:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
No. New York Yankees, by a
much closer margin.
No. 2-Boston Red Sox, with fight
ing chance.
No. 3-Cleveland Indians, with Bob
Teller.
No. 4-Detroit Tigers, the power
house tribe.
No. 5IChicago White Sox, may fin
ish fourth.
No. 6--Washington Senators, slight
ly improved.
No. 7-Philadelphia Athletics, still
on green side.
No. 8-St. Louis Browns, in the old
homestead.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
No. 1-St. Louis Cardinals, by an
eyelash.
No. 2-Cincinnati Reds, just about
as good.
No. 3ABrooklyn Dodgers, improved
over last year.
No. 4-Chicago Cubs, due for better
luck.
No. 5LPittsburgh Pirates, may fin
ish higher.
No. 6-New York Giants, hardly
ready for long route.
No. 7-Boston Bees, not enough
punch.
No. 8Philadelphia Phillies, the
days best bet.
Hotv 1t Figures
The Yankees have been good
enough to win going away, by kill
ing margins year after year, and If
they are slipping so are the Rockies.
They have the pitching and the
punch, are great defensive team,
have all needed requirements, have
youth and experience.
