It will li>- without several mainstays or hi i season's squad, according tu aiifhl pations today. Only seven letter men tire iivuilable til the Little Giant camp. Because of this Coach Digging is eonfronted with u big task before him if Wabash Is to he represented by a strong trifck team. The running events, however, are Well taken car of. (’aptain Gustaf son, Sweeney, Johnson. Nichols, Din widdle, Swift, and Weber are showing winning form. lint in the field events Catline, a high jumper is the only letter man. Several men are trying out for the field events from the freshman squad of last year, but at present Parr is the only man who has shown any marked ability. Sammy Johnson, the Wabash Olympic and long distance star, is in great shape and should continue to burn up the tracks this season. Johnson is probably the greatest distance runner in the state, according to Wabash enthusiasts. —o Looks Like Open Race In National League New York, April 11 — (United I Tress I —“ New York is being picked generally to win another champion-

ship, but it looks to me like an open race.' - John Heydler, president of the National league, said today. "The (Hants have a strong club and perhaps they deserve to he picked as the favorite but I think there will be strong opposition from several clubs and in a tight race most anything (an happen." he said. "New York’s chances for another record in winning five consecutive championships depends largely upon the ability of the pitching staff to •hold up through a long, hard season. The team otherwise is strong and well fortified at every position. "Brooklyn, more than the Giants, depends upon strong pitching to repeat last year’s performance in chasing the chmpions clear to the wire. “The loss of Bill Doak. who pitched so well for the club last year, wid handicap the team, but Vance and Grimes are experienced pitchers that can stand a lot of Work. ‘‘The Pittsburgh club is still a threat as it has been for several years. The Pirates will show this reason some of the good old fashioned baseball that prevailed before the slugging era. "The Pittsburgh team is being built entirely around a fast running attack aud the team looks like the fastest in rhe major leagues. 1 "The Cubs had the misfortune to lose Habbit HnrnnviUe for at least a part of the season. He will bi" missid. as second base is an ail important part of the infield and he was In ing depended upon to plug up a wt akness that had existed there for several years. “Cincinnati is supposed to have a weakness at first base where Rube Bressler has been asked to take the place of Jake Daubert. There are few players who could handle the job as well as Daubert did but Bressler may be able to play acceptably. Jimmy Caveny should play a much' better game titan he did last year and the pitching staff looks like the strongest in the league 1 believe Hurt'the Reds will be very much a factor in the race. "St. Ixniis still has a powerful hitting dub and everything depends upon the pitching. Branch Rickey told me he thought he had a team this year that would be one of the surprises of the season. "The Philadelphia and Boston clubs will not figure much in the championship battle this year because they are being rebuilt and their owner and managers are looking more to tho future than the present." 0 + ♦♦*♦♦ + + + + + ♦•!• + + + SPORT TABS + ++++++++ + + + + + + * Ann Arbor.

Upon a. sound ami healthy Babe the pennant ' < hances of the Yankees uro based almost entirely. Without him the team hardly could expect to win. It seems certain that Ruth will re cover from his present ailment, but it is not certain when he will be hack to perfect, playing condition.

Earl’s Life Endangered At Hands Os Syrian Mob In Damascus London. April 11 (Special to Daily Democrat) The earl of Balfour's lite was actually endangered at the hands of a Syrian mob in Damascus before he was spirited away to safety aboard a French warship at Beirut, according to the Damascus correspondent of the Timos. It was shortly after the noon day prayers, the writer declared in a graphic description of Balfour’s experience. when the angry hunt of the mob in the shopping district began to teach the ears of those in the Hotel Victoria where Ixird Balfour stopped in Damascus. The hum grew louder as the Syrians moved on toward the hotel. There it was countered by a mobilization of police. Mounted and afoot apd armed with rifles, the police did their utmost between 12:30 and 2 p. m. to disperse the infuriated mob by discharging blank < artridges, but

11 without success. | Constant shouts of "Down with the Balfour declaration" and "Down with Balfour." came from the surging mob as it moved on toward the hotel, while guests, looking down from the balconies of the hostelry, were kept busy dodging the shower of stones hurled by the wild eyed excited parJicipauts in the demonstration. I Plenty of ammunition in the form of rocks was obtainable because it so happened that the street was being repaired. The demonstrations against Lord Balfour were engendered through his ! work in the establishment of a na- . Hiatal Jewish home in Palestine. He is the author of the Balfour /declaration by which Great Britain | announced support of the Zionist i movement. Lord Balfour went to j Palestine recently to participate in the opening ceremonies of the new Jewish university on Mount Scopus. — o— — I Fire Sweeps Catholic Prep Schoo!
