H- DIAMOND GOSSIP Larry Schlafly, and his crew of bat lin' Buffeds are going to put in a mighty stiff bid for Jim Gilmore's pennant this season. On paper they look about as strong as any club in the league and should, if the dope holds good, be up there biting the leaders' heels all the way. Buffalo is certainly pulling for them to per form thusly and is rather expecting it. The team was a good one last year not a pennant winner, but up there battling the pace setters and it has been strengthened quite a bit during the winter's raiding. A great deal of the Buffeds' chances for the pennant rests on Russell Ford, one time Yankee and the best flinger in the third league last sea son. Ford's comeback was one of the features of the lated lamented 1914. He bowled 'em over right and left, winning 21 and losing only six. Hugh Bedient was added to the staff during the winter He's a good pitcher no one can deny that, not even Belligerent Byron Bancroft Johnson, from whose backyard he hurdled. These two, in form, are going to prove a migthy strong argu ments against elevated batting aver ages. Another pitcher whom Schlafly is expecting much of is Howard Ehmke, a coast youngster. The boy comes with a mighty sweet record for his first year as a professional. His first shot at league ball last season was with Los Angeles and he pitched 40 games, winning 21 and losing 19. Not exactly rotten for a rookie. Fred Anderson, Gene Krapp, and Heine Schultz were all with the Buffeds last year and did creditable work. Com pleting the staff are Robert Brown and Countenay Woodman, two re cruits. Nick Allen and Walter Blair, both with the club last season, form the receiving corps. The Buffeds look a little weak in this department as neither man got above .240 in the batting'marks last season. Schafly looks pretty snugly forti fied in the infield and the outfield. On first base he has the incomparable Hal Chase. The Prince doesn't need any of this "we have with us tonight" stuff to introduce him. Suffice it to say he stung the Federals' ball last season for .354 and picked 'em off around the corner for a fielding total of .981. Bill Louden, who played second bag last season, will undoubtedly fill in again. He is steady with the bat, hanging up a 313 mark last season. For third there are Bill Roach, prob ably, and Smith. Roach leaped from the Buffalo Internationals, then did a Walter Johnson comeback, so his case is sort of up in the air. Engle will play short, it is presumed.

"Diplomacy does not afford the Youthe peopleare the jury also the court of last appeal. This is your country and its big industries are yours to encourage or to destroy, as you see fit In all times, in all lands, public opinion has had controlthe people's will has been supreme.

The neces sity, therefore, for the existence of this commission or some similar trib unal will exist, therefore, as long as there exists the necessity for courts either in the United States or Canada. This is so because of the exercise of their common right to the use of the water which marks the boundary be tween them. "The treaty between the United States and Great Britian creating this international court of justice makes the most advanced step yet taken by any two nations in the history of the worldnot only for the settlement of international questions, but for the settlement of questions of less consequence between the people of both nations. Many Arbitrations. "There are many arbitrations be tween the United States and other nations. Doubtless there are many between other nations of the world, but there are none between any other two that creates a tribunal composed of citizens of both nations for the settlement of international questions between their governments or be tween their people. This commis sion, therefore, charged with the duty and having the power practically to work out the great problem of wheth er or not the theory of international peace through arbitration can or can not be made a success, should have the hearty support of both govern ments. "In my judgment this tribunal fur nishes an example to,the world." 452 STUDENTS AMERICAN University of Minnesota Statistics Show Both Parents of That Num ber are Natives of United States MEN SPEND MORE THAN WOMEN How effectively the University of Minnesota, which is highly cosmo politan in its student body, puts all effort for intellectual attainment on a common level is shown in the cur rent number of the Alumni Weekly, wherein statistics showing the noti vity, religious preference and cost of living of men and women enrolled are given.
