Conscience Bobs Up;
Now Wants to Pay Fare
Cameron Benedict, Alton, N. Y.,
has been conscience stricken. He
has written to T. F. Godfrey of the
Missouri Pacific, stating that 14
years ago, on a freight train, he
stole a ride from Omaha to St.
Joseph. He askes Mr. Godfrey
to inform him as to the amount of
the railroad fare between the two
points, adding that as soon as he
gets the information he will remit.
Mr. Godfrey has informed him
that if he will turn the sum over
to the Red Cross, his "sins will be

Resolution to Suspend Opera

Departments. - ,
(From a SU'f CorrB.onflont.)
Lincoln, April 1. (Special.)
Friends of the fish interests oi Ne
braska are considerably agitated over
the introduction of a resolution in the
house last week asking the governor
to suspend the operation of the law
preventing fish being taken from the
streams and lakes of the state, claim
ing that along the lirles of food con
servation, this should be done. The
resolution, which bears the names of
Renresentatives tries. McAllister,
Thorns, Fultz and Norton, reads as
follows: . ,
"Whereas. There is a ereat need ot
utilizing to the utmost the local food
sunoiv or our siaie m orucr 10 nave

diers an sailors in turope; ana
"Whereas.- nianv ot our eorasK
streams and lakes are swarming with
a supply of food fish which cannot be
utilized under our present laws; there
fore be it .
"Resolved: That this house hereby
request the- governor, as a war
measure, to suspend the present laws
relatinar to takinir of fish from Ne
braska waters, in his discretion, for
the purpose of augmenting the local
food supply and enabling us to feed
our forces in Europe."

State Game Warden George Koster
and Fish Commissioner W. J. O'Brien
are considerably wrought uo Over the
matter and say that all the work ot
the past years will be spoiled it sucn
action is taken.
To The Bee. Warden Koster said
that it would open up the streams and
lakes which it has cost the state fnuch
monev properly to stock to every
body and give a chance tor market
fishers to make monev at the expense
of the work which Commissioner
O'Brien for. the past 20 years has
worked so hard to build up. In his
opinion it would demoralize things
and bring no real benefits, for the
poor people who might be benefitted
would have no chance with the pro
fessional hunter. "Two months open
season for the. market hunters would
undo the years of hard work and big
expense which the state has" done to
bring about (he present desirable con
dition, and it should not be per
mitted, says Warden Koster.

Three clubs in the major leagues
possess super-nrst Dasemen ana,
after we pass those extraordinary
individuals Sisler, Chase and the
Hoblitzell-Mclnnis combination, the
remainder of the major league first
basemen, we find, are closely bunched
irf values with little to choose be
tween them. .
Chase stands practically alone in
the National league, with the New
York and Brooklyn first baseman
rating close behind him, and the re
maining five guardians of the initial
sack close together and but little
above the average in ability..
There is trifle more ditterence
between the first sackers of the
American league, due to changes and
uncertainty, as to the tryouts of this
season. Several clubs are going to
attempt to replace their old first
basemen with youngsters, which
means that, for a period at least, first
base will be an unsettled spot.
I have been compelled to detract
from values in the case of four clubs
because of this uncertainty. If you
studv the arame closely vou will dis
cover that nothing affects the morals
of an infield mote than uncertainty
at first base. Not only is that posi
tion weakened, but an erratic . tirst
baseman compels, the dopester to
deduct ooints from the value of each
of the other iufielders. The value of
a first baseman, in fact, consists al
most as much in ,the effect he has
upon the other infielders as upon his
position play. You will observe the
comparatively high rating given
Gandjl, of the White Sox. Gandil
is not a great ball player ne is a
dead right field hitter and, while
dangerous in spots and liable to crack
one hard, he is not up to standard.
Neither is ht a great fielder, nor a
fighting, aggressive man. He has a
great many faults,. but his value to
the Sox is undoubted for the simple
reason that he is" a magnificent man
on handling low and wide throws, and
furnishes the other infielders an ex
cellent mark at which to throw, in
spires them with confidence that en
ables them to throw quickly from
any position with the feeling that
even if the balls go low or wide
Gandil will retrieve them.
Improves Infield.
Comiskey says that when Hal
Chase quit him he ruined the chances
of a pennant. He would have won
two more pennants with Chase pen
nants. that were lost because he could
not get a competent first baseman.
Those he had kept the infield dis
tributed at all times. He took Gan
dil, who had been chased off two
clubs. Gandil was not much better
with the Sox than with either Cleve
land or Washington, but his effect on
the infield was wonderful. The im
provement of Weaver and McMullin
may be traced largely to Gandil.
Clubs that are going to experiment
this spring and attempt to develop
first basemen from among the re
cruits will find their teams, affected

in similar manner and their rating
must be lowered.
There appears to be a scarcity of
competent first basemen and the fact
is that the position is being more and
more difficult to play, right field hit
ting, the practice of. pushing the ball
toward first, and directing the attack
behind base runners to prevent double
plays isnaking the job harder. In
former years it was possible to put
almost any stoughton bottle or broken
down catcher at first if he could hold
thrown balls. This is changing.
Sisler Ranks First.
Sisler, of course, must be awarded
first place in the American and he
will play practically every game.
Cleveland has a chance to develop
Harris into a corker, and he can hit.
Detroit has a man in blue, from the
Appalachian, who can kill the ball and
who is touted as a comer. In a pinch
Heilman can play the base well very
well and he can be spared from the
outfield now without taking much
from his old punch. Boston has a
wealth of first basemen and, if Mc
Innis does not develop into i second
baseman as they hope, he is better
than Hoblitzell. Even if he makes
gpod at second the chances are he will
play a number of games at first. New
York has a tough problem and an
effort will be made to develop Mars
ans into a first baserrfan.
There are few changes in the
National league. Pittsburgh has
strengthened in securing Vic Saier,
yet it is a question whether Saier,
after a season's lay off, can oust Moll
witz from the job. A year ago Saier
ranked high among the first basemen,
but a broken leg and a year of loafing
does not add to his worth. Mollwitz
has been imorovine steadily. St Louis
will have to rely for the most part
upon Paulette, who is improving and
who may yet hit up to his mjjior
league standard. Hendricks ought to
improve this fellow immensely.
, Problem for Cubs.
'"Mitchell," of the Chicago Cubs, has
a tough problem at first. , He has
Merkle,. who is a good man, but then
we old fellows are getting so we can't
go as far or as fast as we used to do.
He needs Merkle for his right hand
hitting, and he needs him more for
the effect .he would have on the
younger and green youngsters who
ar to form .the infield. With a
minor league recruit at short and a
vounester at second, the value of
a steady wise old player at first is
hard to discount. But, of course,
Merkle cannot stand the strain of an
entire season and bevat his best. He
can go in fine style for a few weeks,
and after a rest, can come back again
for another stretch. Mitchell will
strive to keep him there for his
steadyipg effect upon Kilduff and
Hollacher especially, and as a sub
stitute he will have Roily Zeider, who
is a hustling, aggressive fellow who
has played a great first base on
several occasions when forced into
the job, This fellow Zeider, if thr
outsiders and owners, let him alone,
oiiflrht to have a bie year. Conditions
are better for him than they have
been and he is free from worry and
anxiety for the first time in his major
league career. Mitchell has another
first baseman in George Tyler, who
when he gets, through pitching, ought
to be a corkine first baseman. He has
played the position in practice for
years and "Shown up" regular first
basemen, and can hit a ball a mile,
and when he .isn't pitching he hits
better.

FAIR POTASH LAW
Box Butte Member Outlines

(Frjm a Staff Correspondents
Lincoln, April 1. (special.)
Representative Lloyd C. Thomas of
Box Butte county, who lives in the
part of the state where most of the
potash lakes are located, is intensely
interested in the passage of an act
which will soeed development to the
very best advantage. .Speaking of the T
matter telday he said:
"The Nebraska legislature, in con
sidering the potash bill, will find that
the question will finally sift down to
the proposition of 'who will get the
leases?' Three different sets of claim
ants will appear, divided as follows:
"First. The holders of the agri
cultural leases. The supreme court
ruled that these leases gave no rights
to the minerals but many of these
men and their assigns feel that they
are entitled to first consideration in
the granting of mineral leases. Some
of them say that they feel that they
should be given the mineral leases,
providing they are willing to pay as
much as anyone else in the form of
royalty and bonus. One or more of
the companies now organized have
been assigned the agricultural leases
and if this Contention were granted,
would secure the right to operate the
lakes covered in that way. '
"Third. The holders of the mineral
leases granted by the board during the
past year- 'claim that these leases
should be validated by the bill passed
and in support of their claim. argue
that they have shown good faith in
accepting the leases from the board,
that they had gone ahead in good faith
in prospecting and organizing for de
velopment; that they have paid into
the state treasury money in the form
of bonuses, one of them being as high
as $1,000, and filing fees; that they
propose to organize' a company or
companies to, operate 'exclusively on
the state lands and that this plant or
plants would render the state a much
larger income because of this fact.
"Representatives of all factions or
sides concerned will be present and be
heard at the open hearing on the bill
Monday afternoon. My desire is that
the legislature pass a bill civine the
state a full and fair share of the potash
and other minerals produced; that
the returns begin to come in as
quickly as possible and that the
maximum production be assured."
