MAKES SOME MODEST PREDICTIONS
Hal Chase, Manager of New York Highlanders.
Hal Chase, skipper of the Yankees,
does not claim a pennant for his team.
Chase harbors the opinion that there
Isn't any one club in the American
league that is going to have clear
sailing In the race for the flag.
“There are at least five clubs this
year that have more than a fighting
chance.” said Chase today. "Now, get
this right. I mean that the Athletics
are not going to grat off another cham
pionship without a hard fight.
'The Yanks finished second last
year and that in the face of many
reverses during the midseason. When
our team got going we made a rush
for the top. but. of course, it was
then too late to do any damage. This
year me shopld be up with the leaders
al- the time, provided of course, the
n eu are not compelled to lay off on
account of Injuries. These are things
we cannot tell now.
“The White Sox Is a club that we
must look out for. The Chicago team
Is a much stronger combination this
year. Lord and McConnell gave the
team a mighty brace. Sullivan will
be back on the job and Walsh and
White will be able to start the season
under more favorable conditions.
^ elsh, you will remember, did not
get going well until the season was
well advanced.
"The Detroit club la always to be
feared. Jennings is a great manager.
Reverses for his team do not discour
age him. He is always full of fight
and has Imbued this spirit Into the
team. But I guess we will beat them
cut
1 look to Washington to win more
gt-naes than last season. Walter John
son is going to win a lot of games and
I understand that there is among the
young players some mighty likely ma
terial.
"The Washingtons play ball in
streaks, but when they do get going
they show class. It is just likely that
this year McAleer is going to hand
u~ something of a surprise. I always
consider the Washingtons a hard prop
osition.
“Cleveland did not play up to the
speed last year. If Joss can come
beck this team will bear a lot of watch
ing. It Is a team particularly strong
in batting.”

Gene DeMontreville has announced
that he will not play ball this season.
Felix Choulnard seems to be able to

positions.
The Boston Nationals have already
closed a deal to train at Augusta,

Gus Dundon. former Comiskeylte.
has signed with Lincoln in the West

infielder.
The seating capacity of the park of

When President John I. Taylor of
the Boston Red Sox told the Denver
club it could have any player in the
reserve list, Denver named Jack

AVIATION AT BELMONT PARK
_
Meeting Planned at Noted Racetrack
to Pick Americans for Interna
tional Competition.
Aeroplanes will replace horses at
Belmont Park race track this season.
Aa soon as the Jockey club decided
there would be no horse racing this
year the Aero club of America made
preliminary arrangements for a lease
of the course and will hold a series of
summer aviation meetings there.
The elimination races for selecting
the American team to represent Amer
ica at the international meet in Eng
land will be the first of the notable
events at the course.
This race probably will be held be
fore May 15. which is about a month
before the aviators will have to sail
for Europe. In connection with the
elimination race there will be a gen
eral meet with various contests for
duration, altitude and cross-country
hying- Considerable money will be
offered In prises.
Meter Cycle Circuit.
The Federation of American Motor- i
cyclists has launched a proposition for
a national racing circuit for motorcy
cles. Riders are enthusiastic in favor
of the plan, and hope that it means a j
revival of interest which will make
motorcycle racing as popular as bicy- i
cle racing was during the period of
the U. A. W.'s greatest activity.
Stadium for Tigers.
Plans for a stadium at Princeton are
maturing, according to an announce
ment from the graduate advisory com
mittee. It Is planned to secure a per
manent football field, with seating ac
commodations fer 4.000 persons. The
committee is not yet prepared to
make public any outline of the pro
posed line of action.

New York Office Beys Take Advantage
of Lunch Hour to Practice on
Roofs of Buildings.
Even among the tall buildings and
crowded thoroughfares of the Wall
street district of New York city the
preliminary baseball season is in full
blast Almost every office building of
importance has one or more teams of
office boys and junior clerks who re
pair enthusiastically after the mar
ket closing hour to some far removed
suburban field for practice.
In a few of the larger buildings the
ingenuity of youth seeking indulgence
in the national pastime has found a
way to get in periods of practice at
the noon lunch hour by utilizing the
roofs, and on pleasant days one may
rise in an express elevator twenty or
twenty-five stories above the street,
and there, overlooking the big city,
may find a score or more of boys and
young men busy with glove, bat and
ball. The space on the top naturally
does not petmit much hard slugging,
but it is sufficient for bunting practice
and ball tossing.

10 GAIN GATES OF HEAVEN
Native* of India Still Believe Death
Under Wheels of Juggernaut In
sure* Eternal Bliss.
Orissa. India.—In the third week In
Juno of this year, following a custom
established over a thousand years ago.
Hindus by tens of thousands will flock
to Pouri. In Orissa. India, for the relig
ious festival of Juggernaut From the
temple the famous car of Juggernaut
will be brought forth and dragged
through the streets. It will head the
annual procession of devotees of the
god Vishnu, or Juggernaut, Ixird of the
Universe, whose image, or statue,
without legs and with stumps of arms,
rests within the colossal car.
Hundreds of pilgrims will harness
themselves to the stout cables Dy
which the car is drawn. As they puli
Car of Juggernaut.
-he ponderous car in its clumsy
■••heels, many will work themselves up
to a degree of religious fervor little
short of madness. And fanatics there
will be, as of old. who will attempt to
throw themselves to destruction un
der the murderous wheels, as a volun
tary sacrifice to their idol. But this
year, as for many years past. British
civil officers will be on hand to pre
vent any act of suicide.
Hindus believe that to gain the fa
vor of Juggernaut opens for them the
gates of heaven. Therefore, in the
days before the British occupation of
India, natives occasionally cast their
bodies under the car to be crushed tc
a pulp, the belief bolng that such self
immolation speedily would be reward
ed by entrance into Paradise.
The car is 43 feet high. Its wheels
are each more than six feet high. A
wooden cage around the top, an addi
tion of recent years, keeps fanatics
from Jumping upon the car in the hope
of looking upon their idol within. Body
and wheels are of wood beautifully
sculptured and Inlaid, and for the fes
tival the car Is draped with gold cloth.

Pekin.—Confucius, who lived from
551 to 4T9 B. C.. was a moralist
rather than a religious founder, his
method of teaching being like that
of Socrates. It was not till about 500 |
years later that he was defied. His

Churches and Tuberculosis.
Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is to the ordi
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber
culosis. From reports received from
over 725 churches, with a membership
of over 312,000 communicants of
twenty denominations, and from 208
cities and towns in 12 states in vari
ous parts of the country, out of nearly
7,000 deaths in 1910, over 700 or 10
per cent., were caused by tuberculosis.
This means 2.24 deaths for every thou
sand members or communicants.
While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand com
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 1.67 in 1909.

Maybe she meant it as a compliment,
maybe she didn't. He likes to believe
that she did. At dinner he said:
"I saw Dr. Parkhurst on Madison
avenue today.”
"Well” and “Huh" being the only
comments on that remark, he went
on:
“Now, I wonder if Dr. Parkhurst is
telling anybody at this time that he
saw me on Madison avenue today?”
Then said the woman sweetly:
"If he Is. I am sure he Is telling
them something more interesting than
what you are telling us.”—New York
