The Cabinet War Cabinet Mects Wednesday. The “war cabinet,” or “industrial cabinet,’ as it is coming to be known, gathers at the White House every Wednesday and consists of the Di- rector-General of Railroads, the chairman of the Shipping, War In- dustries and War Trade boards, the | Food Administrator and the Fuel Ad- | ministrator. At times, when th navy or.army has a special) problem | involving industrial questions, Secre- | lary Daniels’ or Acting Secretary of War Crowell attend. The war cabinet at no time has | touched on political questions. This was learned today frcm a very high | source.

Stettinius is regarded as a v.rtual director of munitions. First results of the War Cabinet's work have become apparent in the decision of the War Industries Board to give preference in delivery of 100 per cent requirements of shipyards for steel. Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board gave the conference last Wednesday detailed accounts of emands made on him for tonnage is statement to the conference was Prepared after frequent consulta- tions with Major-General March.

A permit to operate street cars over the free bridge was voted today by the Municipal Bridge Commission to the St. Louis & Illinois Railway Co., the promoters of which say they have a franchise in East St. Louis. They are given six minths within which to comply with the terms of the permit. E. E.

Food administration officials have ‘been worried because an increase would destroy the ratio between the Prices of wheat and sugar and might lead to a conversion of sugar beet acreage to wheat unless a complete revision in sugar prices was made. Domestic affairs closely related to Production of war materials also have come up for discussion, one of the most important having been the Supplying of fuel to New England. All the. problems hinge on ship- Ping, because all the work of both counsel, and Eugene Sweeney, a street railway promoter. Under the permit the company is not requiréd to operate owl cars until ordered by. the Director of 'Public Utilities. It is required to extend its .line from the east end of the free bridg> 12 blocks into the business section of East St. Louis within six months after the issuance of the permit and to operate cars over the municipal loop within 30 days after the com- pletion of the loop, which Mayor Kiel said he did not believe would be within a year.

SECONDHAND TYPEWRITERS AS HIGH AS $225 IN ENGLAND ‘hines Almost as Expensive as Small Motor Cars Were Before the War. LONDON, April 8&.—Typewriters today are almost as expensive as small motor cars before the war. Bargains are not be had anywhere. Owing to the restrictions on manu- facture and imports and the eénor- | mous demand due to increase in _elerical work during the war the prices of all the best makes have more than doubled. “We have had to ration ourselves in machines for a long time,” said the sales manager of a typewriter company. “If you were to put down $500 for a new machine we could not supply you. Even our remodelled machines fetch as much as $150. These cost about $40 before the war. A man wrote us the other day offering a secondhand machine for $500.” The general manager of a com- pany said: “Our remodelled ma- chines cost from $175 to $225, and new machines—when we have any— could not be sold under $275. —_— Good Cheer Checks Were Carried in the Big Real Estate and Want Directories Yesterday.

The Art Hill amphitheater, shell- crater of some titanic warfare of ages ago, was too small for the out- pouring of St. Louisans who yester- day afternoon went to Forest Park to see the conclusion of the military and civic parade, in celebration of | the opening of the Third Liberty Loan Carmpaign, and of the first an- j niversary of America’s entrance into the war, and to attend the inspira- | tional meeting which followed. All former outdoor gatherings here were belittled by the throng which 1 ~recked the entire hillside in front q Ger the statue of St. Louis, and over- |, flowed, at either end, to the banks of ) the lagoon and the approaching road- » ways.

Here in the shadow of our heroic warrior and Cru4 sader King, St. Louis, who holds his sword and his cross in his strong right hand, here under the open sky, it is meet and just that we as- sembled should invoke the blessing and the protection of Almighty God in this new crusade of ours; that, as St. Louis led a crusade for the holy sepulcher that the tomb of Christ might be free, so we will lead another crusade that humanity may be free. To this end reverently, piously and with utmost self- consecration, we will invoke the blessing of Him who in- spired St. Louis and who toe day protects America. We will invoke His help in His own words, for thus He told us to pray. Many in the audience joined in the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer. The benediction, fol- lowing Gov.

The christening, however, had already taken place yesterday afternoon at King’s highway and .Maryland avenue, just before ‘the start of the Liberty Loan parade. .The change in arrange- ments was made by the commit- tee too late for publication in Sunday's papers, resulting in the disappointment of those expect- ing to witness the ceremony to- day. The committee explained that the change was made when Sousa agreed to have the band at King’s highway at 1:30 p. m.

Jefferson Theater last night for a lweek’s visit, is in considerable de-| gree a reversion to a form of enter- | ‘tainment which has shown some. welcome signs of becoming obsolete. | This is the type in which the comedy finds its inspiration in drunkenness, marital infidelity and the expletive. “hell,” especially when uttered by a) woman: in which the costumes run | to freakishness rather than beauty— | there are garments representing res- | taurant tables, ink bottles and drink- | ing glasses; and in which mediocre | ‘singing, music and dancing seek! compensation in scantiness of attire, | ranging even to animated rmeeeel, statuary in union suits. | Is Thus it resulted that the bright particular spots of the presentation were a rousing patriotic address de- livered by De Wolf Hopper, his parody on “Casey at the Bat’—in | which Columbia does not strikegout ‘in the crisis, but drives out a liner | (across Belgium and the Rhine—and | a side-splitting act by Charles. ‘‘Chic’’) Sale, entitled “The Rural | Sunday- choo! Benefit.’ | A number of stage settings aroused | much admiring comment. Among| ‘them were scenes in which were' staged burlesques of the second and) third acts of ‘‘The Wanderer;”’ a Japanese scene for a_ take-off on/| “The Willow Tree;” the _ fountain | room in an ornate cafe, and the | patriotic finale, ‘‘Ring Out Liberty.” | The costumes for the harem scene! in “The Wanderer’ were about as | resplendent as those of the original, and the action was considerably less | offensive. “The Yale Bowl,” an-' | nounced as the shows premier spec- | _tacle, proved to be a curtain of can- | vas dotted thickly with splotches to| represent persons seated in the am-!| | phitheater. Gives Whole Program Himself. | There were two scenes in Sale’s, act. In the first he was a country | | preacher, making the weekly an-. noune ements from his rostrum and | preaching an asinine sermon on the| text of ‘‘Mother Hubbard.” In the | \second he gave unaided, by means | .of quick changes of costume, the en- ' tire program of a Sunday school en- | _tertainment; he was the _ spinster’ teacher in charge of the ceremonies, | | the bumpkin who propounded rid-| | dles made up by himself, the gang- | _ly maiden who sang a solo, the old /man who played ‘‘Marching Through | Georgia” on a wheezing “tuby,” and) a budding Mantell who forgot his) |lines. The impersonations were en- | |riched with so many touches of facia] | expression, posture and language as _to keep the audience in convulsions of mirth. Hopper, on appearing before the audience, exclaimed: “Shades of Gilbert and Sullivan! They’ve got me in the Winter Garden at last!’ "| In truth, he had little to do, and that 'searcely worthy of his talents. He 'was mildly amusing as a male vam- pire, cursed with a fatal beauty, in | “The Wanderer’ harem scene, and also as Tacky, the image maker, in | “The Willow Tree.” But his inter- | |pollated speech in behalf of the Third Liberty Loan had sincerity |} and fire, and was no unworthy com- /panion to Harry Lauder’s similar ef- ‘fort, heard here recently.

And we have complied—fully, gladly. For whatever the Gov- 3 ernment wants, whatever it needs, it must have from us and from E you fully and with a generous heart. We have been sending immense quantities of “Bull” to our men at the front, and at the same time trying to supply consumers at home. But now we are asked to give ail our output:—36,000,000 sacks, 2,000,000 Ibs., 100 carloads of “BULL” DURHAM every month. This call means more than just huge figures to me and I know it will mean more than figures to the hundreds of thousands of men every- { where in the country who “roll their own” and who look upon that a little muslin sack of good old “Bull” as a personal, everyday necessity. . It means that the Government has found that our fighting men need the ‘‘makings’’. But, if “Bull” is a necessity to you, here, in the peaceful pursuit of your daily life, how much greater its necessity to those splendid Americans who have gone to fight for you—to win this war for you. I know that you will think of them as I do—only of them. I know there will not be asingle complaint. I know that you will give up your share of “Bull”, however long you have enjoyed it, however close it is to you, as you will give up anything you have if it is made clear to you that our forces over there need it. That the Government has requested the whole output of “Bull”, the night and day output of all of our factories, must make this abso- lute need clear to you. And I know that you will not forget the little muslin sack—gone for the present on its mission of hope and inspiration to our boys in the trenches. “Bull” wil! come back, with ribbons of honor. 0 wCttt7 ae Shit President Have no fear.

ST LOUIS POST-DISPATCH; MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1918. ° ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH! 11 * Fellow Beats on an Empty Shell C HEY say, those who come back from “over there,” that when a gas attack is made a cloud comes rolling along the ground and that the man who sees it first does not stop to put on his gas mask but immediately begins to beat a tattoo on an empty shell case that the men behind him in the trenches may have time to put on their masks and save themselves. ~The man who beats on the empty shell case sacrifices his lite that others may live. Thus far there 1s not a recorded case of a single man who has refused to make the sacrifice. There 1s a thin line stretching across the Atlantic supporting the boys in the trenches “over there” and we folks back here at home are forging a great chain that shall take the place of this thin line, strong enough to drag the German Emperor from histhrone. ‘To forge this chain it takes work- men who will stick on the job until it 1s finished—every individual 1s a link and no chain is stronger than its weakest link—itf one link snaps asunder the entire chain 1 is useless to hold the world in place. We can’t all of us go to the tront—marching behind the fluttering flags—keeping step to the strains of the fife and the rattle of drums. All of us can’t be decorated with golden crosses and’ perform deeds of bravery in hand-to-hand con- 3 flict, but each and every one of us can silently, bravely do our part and faithful still as a bridge of stars fight in our home town—fight on and on in the day-long wars and perhaps silent, unseen go down. And if we stay on the job and see the day’s work through, we are actually doing just as much to help win this war as if we were in a hand-to- hand battle in No Man’s Land. St. Louis needs the workman today as it never needed him before—he can render his city, state, country— the world—a service such as he has never had the opportunity of rendering before—just by staying on the sob. 4 Workmen, we should realize that St. Louis offers every opportunity that any other city offers for an advancement: W orkmen, there is just as big a chance in St. Louis to make good as there is anywhere else under the sun. Oppor- tunity sits on the front doorstep of every man here—there is a diamond mine in everybody’s back yard. aa *_ ——— Let’s all stick on the job right here in our good old town and while we may miss the plaudits of the world and feel _ perhaps that the man higher up does not appreciate our efforts, in our heart of hearts there will be consciousness that x: we have done our duty for our country—for humanity. Perhaps in the after years when the boughs bend a little lower—when the leaves fall a little faster—and the red glow of the sun through the western gate of life grows redder still—and the little ones climb upon our knee and ask about this war of all wars—we can honestly say, “I did not go to the front—but I did do my duty back home—I stuck on ‘the job in the shop—I worked in the factory until I nearly dropped, but I stuck on the job until America won. | Working men of St. Louis, let’s put our city on the map as the greatest place js in the world for the laboring man to live. It is up to us to do itt NOW!

Common-Law Marriages. the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Your editorial of April 2 discusses the miertt of the recommendation of the Mis- ®feuri Children’s Code Commission to abolish the common-law. marriage in this Slate, a step which was taken in England, frem whom we adopted this form of marriage in 17532. I n spite of the fact that a Missouri Statute provides that “previous to any Smarriage tn this State, a license for that burpose shall be obtained from the offi- cer herein authorized to issue the same” (Sec. 8283 R. S., 1909), and in spite of the R. der ents or guardian before a lice not fact that another statute (Sec. 8289, S., 1909) requires that persons un- age shall obtain the consent of par- marriage nsé may be issued, mtnors who can- obtain a license to marry, can marry, under the common-law contract, without n- lieense. “* a - This means that a girl of years may, without her parents’ con- sent, live with a boy of 14. years as his wife. As long as the common-law mur- riage exists it will be difficult to enforce certain sections of the criminal laws re- “ating to offenses against girls under a cortain age. Moreover, it must be recognized in any iscussion of the common-law marriage that the individualistic idea of marriage must go. Marriage is not a contract tu be entered into and term!nated at the will of individuals; there is a third party to the contract—society—and the interests ofall must be considered. That the future of the race is deter- mined largely by the laws that govern marriage cannot be denied. Several states. in order to safeguard unborn children, have taken radical steps in this field, such as inquiring into the physical condftion of eandidates for marriage, disqualifying persons affected with venereal disease or tuberculosis, requiring public notice 10 Gays before a marriage license ts issued. urely, the abolition of common-law ynarriage is but a moderate step in the right direction and not in advance of pub- Executive Secretary Code Commission. lic opinion in Missouri.

President Wilsdn’s Baltimore speech was more than a declaration of war to the finish of the conscienceless and ruthless German autocracy. It was a justification of the use of “force without stint or limit” for liberty and justice against Ger- many’s military masters who have avowed that they seek “not justice but dominion and the un- hindered execution of their own will;” who “everywhere impose their power exploit everything for their own use and aggrandize- ment.” This declaration the President shows is the only logical conclusion from the clarifying revelations of the methods and the purposes of the German militarists who control Germany. From the Belgian “scrap of paper” and the murderous U-boat policy with violation of solemn pledges to the greedy and conscienceless betrayal and spoliation of Russia, and the helpless people in the East, but one purpose has shone through the unscrupulous, treacherous and ruthless tac- tics of the German autocracy; that is conquest, dominion and exploitation of all peoples who are unable to withstand the might of their armies and their guns. It has been proved beyond ques- tion that Germany’s peace talk has been mere bait to entrap the unwary and that we are face to face with a tyranny “without conscience or In and honor or capacity for a covenanted peace.”’ the light of the record of our own conduct and avowed purposes and of Germany’s duplicity and | greed, all Americans worthy of the name join ‘with the President in this acceptance of a mili- tary challenge. Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right, as America conceives it, or dominion as she conceives it, shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is, therefore, but one response possible for us—force, force . to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force whieh shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust. This is language, backed by the resources is an end of their delusions about America’s pur- pose and determination. It is the handwriting on the wall. The meaning for Americans is clear. that we are in the war for victory and all that it It means means for us that everything we have is at stake and nothing counts except winning the war. (ESE RGR USE FOR SUPER-CANNONS. Since the bombardment of Paris by German long-range guns, scientists and military men have been discussing the possibilities and uses for such weapons. The latest news is that plans for a gun with a range of 105 miles have been laid be- fore Secretary Daniels by a naval gun expert. However, many ordnance officers believe that, even if practicable, guns of extreme range are “not worth the candle,’’ because the effect of the costs in resources—men, money and munitions. It | why, when he was at it, he didn’t drop more. letters they believe the Russian people can get along very nicely without, but we must assume that this is only a starter. For a Government of the proletariat to be content with dispensing with only three, when the autocracy under Peter dispensed very comfortably with 13 would be disappointing. That a further work of relief for the people must be done is shown by the fact that of the three discarded letters two are vowels. Only a thoroughgoing reform of the Russian con- sonants can afford any amelioration of value and permanence in the hard conditions of the present. Bolsheviki leaders standing squarely on a plat- form of consonant reform ought to sweep such sections of the country as the Germans leave to participate in national elections. i, dp di ite Me « A LIBERTY LOAN SERMON. From a text enjoining patriotic sacrifice and duty to country a tremendous sermon was de- livered in Forest Park Sunday afternoon. The sermon in turn furnished texts from which many other impressive similar sermons might be preached. The rain causing the postponement of the Third Liberty Loan demonstration the previous day was most fortunate. No such extraordinary and memorable outpouring of St. Louis enthusiasm and devotion would have been possible on that day. Those who marchgd made one of the long- est and most numerous parade columns 3een in this city in recent years. In great areas of the park the number of the spectatgrs compelled them to struggle even for standing room. There was no comfort for pro-Germans or pacifiists or the apathetic anywhere under the trees and along the lawn spaces bright in their and might of its expression. After an exhibit so re- 'markable, the extent of the local plans to pro- vide further funds for the war may be easily | gauged.

It seems certain that what have been called su- per-cannons could not be of much use except against fixed targets. The time taken by the shell to traverse its course would give a moving target, such as a ship, a chance to escape. And the fact of its being out of sight, so that its lo- course, would be in favor of such escape. If the super-cannon is to be used only against large fixed objects such as cities, its value will be limited. And such use will always be condemned except by the most brutal.Governments. ——_—___-_-—_-—__-++9—__—_- — -—- FIGHT OR WORK.

It is therefore obvious that the purpose of the selective draft is defeated if exempted men do not perform work that justifies the exemption. But the purpose of the draft must not be defeated. Able-bodied men who do not fight must work. If they are unwilling to do either, they must be compelled to do one or the other. The alternatives are clear. The slacker, otherwise entitled to ex- emption, may take his choice, but he must choose. SIMPLIFIED SPELLING IN RUSSIA. Can any better evidence of the essentially progressive tendencies of the Bolsheviki be given than their attempt to reform the Russian alpha- bet? Simplified spelling is associated with high progressive tradition in this country. Russia got her A, B C's direct from the Greeks, while other the medium of Latin or other languages.

After First Man Up Had Hit See Contest. _—, us for another year, underwent the first test yesterday of what is generally conceded the most trying -geason the national pastime has ever faced, and emerged confident Piss test yes baseball, with and é ‘smiling. It was the opening game of the 1918 campaign, the annual spring series between the Browns and Cardinals, and even Cardinal ad- herents, on the losing side, admitted it was a decided success. Leaving aside the game, the skep- | tics, those who during the long win- ter months have proclaimed the doom of baseball with the minds of the game's patrons engrossed in war, gathered early to watch the turn- stiles, figuring perhaps they would be able to count the heads as_ they came through. If such was the case, they got a surprise. Fans Line Up Early. By the time the gates to Sports- man’s Park were thrown open, long fines of fans were waiting to patron- {ze their favorite sport at increased prices. From 1 o'clock, when the first of the hard-boiled type crowded throwgh the gates, until 3 o'clock, when the game was called, and short- ly thereafter, a steady stream of per- gons filed through the gates. The bleachers, at 30 cents a throw, were filled early and it was neces- eary to stretch the ropes on the play- ing field before the game began. The pavilions were only partially filled, but the lower portion of the grand stand presented much the same ap- pearance as the bleachers. Officials of the Browns and Cardi- nals agreed that they were thorough- ly satisfied with the attendance, par- ticularly since they were competing with the monster Liberty Loan dem- onstration, which unquestionalb ly kept additional hundreds and perhaps thausands away from the game. Per- ‘gons paid the new prices without a murmur. Even the ‘“deadheads,” who are taxed a dime this year for using their coveted passes, registered no protest; still aware that they had saved their 75 cents. Risiness Manager Bob Quinn of the Browns stated after a tour of the various entrances to the park that there had been no confusion § any- where. Patrons had become well in- rmed--of the new prices and had t eir money ready. Making change, although the penny system was not in use, caused no trouble whatever. Quinn, while pleased with the at- tendance as showing that baseball has not lost its grip, does not believe vesterday' s game provided a fair test. It is his opinion that the trying times for the game are yet to be met, but Bob refuses to become alarmed, as he has contended throughout the winter that a winning club will prosper the game as it always has. A Typical Jones Victory. The game itself was a typical Field- er Jones victory. he 2-to-l score indicates that the Browns got bet- ter pitching than the Cardinals, and they did: That's just about the limit wet vyiel€ a hit until the ninth, of Fielder’s scheme of play. “Old | Fgered ire” was at his best yester- ~Grever Cleveland (“Highboy”) Low- dermilk took up his burdens just where he left off in the fall series of 1917. when he held the minions of Miller Huggins scoreless in 20 con- secutive innings.

Baird ad- vanced the pair with a sacrifice, put- ting it once more, as usual, up to Rogers Hornsby. The Cardinals’ ace hit a wicked grounder to Gerber, and Betze!l beat the throw to the plate. Clifton Heathcote, the Cardinals’ new outfielder, was forced to miss the first game yesterday.

Those New Brownies. Team epirit. That was the outstanding feature of the Browns play yesterday. Ev- ery man on Fielder Jones’ club was fighting to the last ditch. It was a vastiy different club from the one — which finished the season last year a And right here it may as well be mentioned that Fielder Jones’ “army of maneuver,” the substitutes he has pitting on the bench, is destined for p Smpertant roles during the coming @eason. Fielder demonstrated it yes- terday when, after Demmitt, who hits SH " from the left side, had one strike ones benched him and sent Johne, a right-handed hitter.

Jack Smith, pre- senting a new departure in baseball! by playing without having signed a contract, walked in the second in- ning, but Gonzales hit into a double play and Jake May fanned. The Cardinals had an opportunity to count in the sixth, but passed it up because they couldn't find Lowder- milk when they most wanted to. Betzel and Smyth drew passes to start this session. Baird, however, fanned, after twice trying to sacri- fice. Hornsby fouled to Nunamaker and Cruise was expunged on a weak grounder to Sisler. Again in the ij seventh, matters looked just a trifle zloomy for the Browns. Paulette drew a pass to pry open the inning. Jack Smith grounded weakly to Sis- ler, Paulette going to second. Then Gonzales rolled an easy one to Low- dermilk. The Highboy started to throw to Sisler, but the ball flipped out of his hand and the Cuban was safe, Paulette perching on third. Hendricks Hears Anvil Right here the well-known anvil chorus began to tune up. The boys have lost none of their harmony dur- ing the idle months. They chimed that Jack Hendricks should have yanked Jake May for a pinch swat- ter, with runners on first and third, one down and the score tied, Hen- dricks guessed otherwise, however, permitted May to bat and the latter sent up a high fly to Gerber. Betzel ended the business with a roller to Gedeon, erasing the last scoring op- portunity for Rickey’s hirelings. Litte Jake May, southpaw, twirled some game himself, a great deal bet- ter than the seven hits would tend to show. Earl Smith knotted the count at one-all in the third when he lifted the first pitched ball into the right-field bleachers for a home run. Subsequently, however, May held the Browns in leash until the seventh, when the Sportsman's Park- ers put across the winning marker. After Sisler had lined straight to Betzel, Hendryx singled to center. Jones called for the hit and run and it went through to perfection, Gedeon punching a single to right, sending Hendryx to third. Once again Field- ¢r Jones’ strategy entered into the balance at this stage of the game. After May had gotten one strike on Demmitt, Jones yanked the batter and inserted Pete Johns, who swings from the right side. Johns vindi- cated his manager’s judgment by banging the first ball pitched for a single to left, scoring Hendryx. Nuna- maker put a damper on the rally, though, by hitting into a double play. Thus ended the first game of the series, a victory for the Browns. To- day is an open date. The second game of the series will be played to- morrow at Cardinal Field. Nor was Fielder content with that. After Johns had singled, the manager as quickly applied the hook to him and inserted Tobin as a base runner. Jones has an entire infield which he can insert in a moment's notice and he doubtless will play this game to the limit. The Browns appear the best fortified club in the league. Fielder himself says there are no first choices on the club. “They're all too good to be called substitutes,” is the way Fielder puts it. Hendricks Leaves Town. Manager Jack Hendricks of the Cardinals left here last night in com- pany with James C. McGill, owner of the Indianapolis club, and the man for whom Hendricks formerly pro- | duced several pennant winners. While President Rickey said his manager had gone to Indianapolis, there was a rumor about vesterday that he was seeking an outfielder. He expects to return in time for the game tomor- row.

Even this hit served to enhance the pite'i:ng strength of the muck melignec nuiler. For, following the safety, the next three men were helpless und easily retired. While his success doesn’t disprove the charxe that re has failed to get over his wildness, it does prove that he has sc mastered himself that a pass here and there does not disturb his efficiency for the rest of the game —jt only makes him “tighten up.” a a * Our One Best Bet. a That the Jess Willard-Fred Fulton “world’s championship” fight will be a 10-round, possibly no-decision affair, battle-ground “somewhere in Minnesota.” 7 * 7 The Case of Miller Huggins. ILLER JAMES HUGGINS must be having a heart-to- heart talk with himself as to the wisdom of the course he took last year, when he refused an offer of $10,000 and a percentage of the profits of the club if they reached $25,000. Huggins.turned down this offer in favor of one from the Yankees’ management. Presumably it is not better than $10,000, which is an Al recompense in these times of finan- cial stress. Presumably, also, his new contract carries a profit-sharing clause, and herein Miller is likely to fail. For. as matters now stanac, the Cardinals scem to have a better chance of at- taining honors in the National Teague than the Yankees have in the American. The Cards finished third last season and—with Phila- delphia wrecked— may do even bet- ter this year if all the happy little breaks come their way. The Yanks, on the other hand, are competing for patronage against the Giants—a pennant team—with a club that seems destined to second | division. Its outfield can’t hit: the | mighty Baker weakened last year; | many of its pitchers have gone; and one of its good catchers has been lost. It is entirely within the bounds of possibility that six clubs may beat out the Yankees. The club is not more than an even possi- bility to top either the Browns or the Washington club in the pen- nant race. 7. . = The Cards’ Weak Point.
