WALSH NEW YORK, March 26.—Widely malice toward none and charm for all, the writer names following as his idea, probably unimportant, of how National League clubs will finish in October. 1—New York. 2—Pittsburgh. 3—Chicago. 4—Cincinnati. 5—Brooklyn. 6—St. Louis. 7—Boston. 8—Philadelphia. Giants improved in pitching and outfield, and otherwise just good as ever, which was and plenty, should come home on the bit. McGraw has ball club that carries youth and experience to blend of such nice discriminatory that only unforeseen upheaval seems likely to keep him out of fifth straight pennant. The logical contenders, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati have not improved so efficiently, if at all, to cause McGraw undue misgivings. The Cubs, it was pleased to think, had improved themselves 50 per cent by Pirate trade, but Maranville’s injury has just about levelled that. He will be out least two months and Cuba’s defense and general morale will suffer accordingly. They lack punish in outfield, anyhow. Therefore third place is best I can give them. Whatever prompted Bill Kechle to make trade in question is not of intelligible recorder. In face of things he broke up in infield in baseball, and regardless of how he may rearrange material defense is certain to suffer without attack being greatly benefited. If Pirates go any higher than second, rest of world is egregious error. Reds are weak in outfield a catching strength, as fellow sappers have only four of form and two of latter, all good, but enough. The rest of team, barring first base, is foolproof—pitching and hitting excellent and the NEWS BRIEFES COLUMBUS, Ohio—"Care for my soul, Jesus", pleaded Charles Thomas, negro, New York, early today as he was being electrocuted for murdering Patrolman Thoh C.

"Salvation Hunters" Coming to the United NEW CHAMPIONS SEEN NEXT YEAR NEW YORK, March 27—What with retirements and natural decadence of are, manly art of legalized assault faces in ensuin-months, greatest turnover of championship performers it has ever known. No champion will be immune to this flastic renaissance from Dempsey down line to Pancho Ville. The prediction is made for what it may be worth if anything. Twelve months from now, its poor remains can be exhumed for all world to see. It is not eredible that twelve months from date. Dempsey still will be telling universe he has retired, that he has not retired, that he will fight if necessary, that he will not fight until his motion picture public has been duly gratified, etc. By that time he will have been forced into open as fighter or into the outer darkness of private life. If he does fight, there is no assurance his life of east and refinement will not have exacted physical toll so heavy some piano mover present identity unknown; will beat him. Dempsey is skating on thin ice and probably knows it. The lightweight title is alren vacated thanks to retirement of Leonard, therefore, impending appearance of a new champion is a formality. Leonard abdicated at mother's behest, but fact remains he knew he could not defend title anyhow. He had octogrown class. So has Louis "Kid" Kaplan, featherweight champion, created by special dispensation of New York State Athletic Commission. Kaplan, now sojourning on Coast couldn't get under 130 pounds with balloon under armpits. If you happen to disagree with commission and regard Johnny Dundee as title holder, result is same. John finds he has outgrown class and talks of reclaiming title merely to hear his back teeth rattle.

"Salvation Hunters" Coming to the United Coming from a source where jealousy might be expected instead of praise, an extremely warm review of "The Salvation Hunters" in the Director proves how sighificant a work of art this new motion picture is judged to be in professional circles. The Von Sternberg film will be shown at the United theatre on Sunday and Monday. Review taken from the Director, a motion picture journal of directors: "It is the first great symbolic picture ever made, and deals in an original manner with the primal forces that govern human destiny. There are scenes that are like polignant metaphors and similarities that are like eloquent phrases. Its message is tremendous, beautiful and charmed with an elemental force that is inescapable. It is an unforgettable brain and leaves one exalted and strangely moved. It is a milestone in the history of the screen." Vaccination prevents a typhoid vacation.
