BASEBALL IN BOSTON. ‘To say that baseball fans in Boston are already figuring to pack the stands in Bean Town for next sea- son’s world’s series is putting it pretty strong, and the fans else- where will concede Bostonians the right to “figure” all they ‘want, but it’s a fact that grows stronger every day. Taking all in all, from a view- point at this end of the line, both teams appear to have A-1 chances of leading at the end of the 1915 season. Of the two, the Red Sox look to be in better trim than the Nationals, although the Braves are toting the world’s championship pennant. ‘The Braves' chances this year, all around the circuit, are popularly supposed to be of the best. The team can still be considered a young one. The acquisition of Sherwood Magee will prove a great advantage both in the infield and at the plate, but, getting under the surface, there are many things to be considered. For instance: Ever’s condition cannot be fore- cast with any certainty, despite the sunny statements that he is fully re- covered, and is the same as ever. It is well known that the star second baseman hasn’t the strength physic- ally; that he works entirely on his nerves. When the season of 1914 was finished Evers was taken with a heavy cold and during the early part of the winter suffered from penumonia. With the exception of a few weeks, he has spent the past winter at a camp in northern New York. He is now down south get- ting the remainder of his health back. Should Ever’s condition pre- vent him from starting off with the team the Braves will be at a sad disadvantage at the jump. Some figure that the confidence of the young players will offset this, but it is extremely doubtful. TAKES PHILADELPHIA CHURCH Philadelphia, March 1.—The Rev. Dr. John Mockridge, vicar of Trinity Parish, New York, today began his new duties as rector of St. James’ Protestant Episcopal church, one of the oldest and wealthiest congrega- tions of this city. He succeeded the Rev. Dr. William C. Richardson, who died last summer while on his vaca- tion. Mrs. Pete Millbach of Solway was in the city yesterday to attend the funeral of her uncle, E. G. Brown. RUSSIA FACES BANKRUPTCY—MASON (Continued from Page 1.) jective seems to be the railway line connecting Petrograd and Warsaw, and at this he will rush when his fatigued warriors get their wind. With increasing frequency, Brit- ish and French statesmen are insist- ing of the perfect accord of the French-English alliance and at the same time are declaring the resolves of their own nations to See the war through single-handed if necessary, to the very end. Apparently, abso- lute certainty does not prevail in Paris and London concerning the fu- ture of the Russians. Possibility ex- ists that the Slavs may make peace, thus releasing the Austrians and Germans from the western battle front and relieving the Teutonic food peril. Russia is undoubtedly suffer- ing_more severely under the strain of the war than is any one of the other great powers. Humiliation Intense. Her military humiliation is intense, not only because of Von Hindenberg's repeated victories, but also because of the swagger with which the Slavs entered the war and the grandoise annexation of German Poland by a premature imperial ukase. Not only is Germany in possession of a large part of Russian Poland, but also has Austria recovered much of Galicia and seems destined to regain more. Financially, Russia is near to na- tional bankruptey. If the Slavs.could not obtain relief from the west the money situation alone would compel them to sue for peace or fight with a shortage of supplies. England, in fact, is now largely paying for the Slavs’ continuance in the war. Rus- sia is being subsidized by British gold and must so continue to the end. England may and may not re- cover what she is now advancing. In all probability, she will not. PRESENTED TO READERS.

Every book of any importance, every ‘magazine, literary, scfentific, household or otherwise, is illustrated ; to a greater or less extent.
