BROOKLYN HIS lIERY
ROCKY ROAD FOR
SEASON NOW AHEAD
BY H. C. HAMILTON.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—The Brooklyn
club of the National league, champion
of the circuit presided over by John K. I
Tener, approaches the difficulties of nJ
new season in a very wabbly condi
tion. Unless Charles H. Ebbets or
some of his ball players weaken the
Dodgers will present a strange front'
when they take the field on the open
ing day.
Also, there is a well founded belief,
that Dave Fultz and his players strike
will take a well aimed wallop at Eb-'
bets and his champions unless every,
thing is called off.
The Dodgers are far from champion
ship timber this year, compared with
the array of talent that will be thrown
into the field by other clubs. They
would have a hard time keeping the.
pace against Giants, Phillies and;
Braves even with their full strength'
out in the open. The punch that car-i
ried them into the stretch last year is;
lacking this spring, for it doesn't carry'
sufficient power.
On first base the Dodgers will have’
Jake Daubert unless the Dodger star
shows up in such bad health that he
can’t play ball. His contract, forced,
fiom Ebbets during the troublous days,
of the Federal league, has another
year to run as a substantial figure and
he has little to worry about for the fu
ture. His health has been decidedly
bad of late, however, and red Merkle
or Warren Adams, the latter a likely
looking recruit, may have a first base
assignment.
George Cutshaw, demon second base
man who jumbled up the world’s ser
for the Dodgers, probably will keep
his station if he decides to sign a con
tract. At last reports he was holding
out and had decided to quit the game.
Fred Merkle is to be tried out at ■
shortstop. He has done well in nearly
every other position and may supplant 1
Han Olson and the various other]
shortstops who have been given
chances.
Third base isn’t so much of a prob
lem. for the veteran Mike Mowrey did
a good job last year and probably will.
keep right on doing it.
Jimmy Johnston right now is the
only outfielder definitely known to be
ready to start the trip- to Hot Springs,
j Hi M.vers, Buck Wheat and Casey Sten-
I gel. the bulwark of attack and de
fense last summer, have been reward
; ed with slashes in their salaries. Nat
j urally they are peeved and have an-
I nounced there will be no signing by
them until the original figures are put
' back. Ebbtts has declared he will
' make another slash if they don’t ship
it the signed documents.
I Otto Miller has the brunt of catch
ing thrown upon him this year
through the lack of a good running
mate. Chief Myers is rapidly approach
ing the final bump in the decline,
j Zack Wheat, a good looking youngster
and a brother of the famous Buck is
: going to take a shot at it and may
stick this lime.
: Ed Pfeffer is another Dodger whose
* salary has been nicked by Ebbets. He
was one of the most consistent win
‘ ners in the National league early in
the season. He has refused to sign

CARRANZA AGENTF
IHIM WITH
SCHEMES!! JAPAN
TOKIO, Fez. 24. —An international
afiair centering around three Mexicans
and their mysterious movements in at
tempts to buy ammunition and arms,
has just finished its first act in Japan.
Today the attention in diplomatic cir
cles here is directed toward conjecture
as to just what the Mexicans were at
in their mission for the Carranza gov
ernment.
The Mexicans’ efforts met with suc
cess, but their activities have been so
intent as to arouse daily watchful
ness on the part of officials connected
with both the American and British
Embassies here, the latter fearing that
attempts were being made to aid the
Germans. While future developments
are expected to heighten the sensation
al character of the Carranza mission,
it is now known as a certainty that
the Mexicans, assisted by two Japa
nese, a Dutch adventurer, and a Welsh
man discharged from the British army ;
for conduct unbecoming an officer, suc-j
cceded in chartering the Kotehira'
Maru, a Japanese vessel of 4,100 tons.
After loading cargo, this boat left Yo
kohoma during the night of January 4,:
and proceeded to Muroran, where it,
coaled and sailed direct for Salina'
Cruz, Mexico.
According to the manifest, the ship
ments consisted of 403 tons, but it is
known that this steamer of over 4,000
tons did not sail direct for Salina
Cruz with a cargo of only 400 tons,
listed as machinery. It is also known
that the Kotohira Maru carried twen
ty-seven Japanese gun experts.
It is believed that the Mexicans,
handicapped in their operations by the I
alertness of the Japanese government,-
were offered only inferior material, of
an old pattern and lacking in uniform
ity, so the trio finally resolved to add
to their small arms purchase a quan- '
tity of machinery for the manufacture'
of guns and ammunition.
The three Mexicans were J. M. Car
pio. R. Vargas and Guitterz Astrega.
They arrived in Yokohama November
23. They are all Carranza men. Carpi >
was chief of staff under General Obre
gon, Carranza’s War Minister.
The Mexicans had money—all kinds
of it. They had credits issued by New
v ork banks totaling more than $2,000,
000 gold. This money is generally

known to have deposited in the Char
tered Bank of Japan and the Nitsul
bank. In addition to these credits
there is a large sum of money deposit
ed in a powerful bank here, the rem
nant of a sum placed here by General
Huerta when that bandit was supreme
across the Rio Grande.
During their stay here the Mexicans
were frequently seen in company with
two smooth looking, well-dressed Fil
lipinos, but while the movements of
these Filipinos are being constantly
watched, as yet their connection with
the Mexicans has not been established.
The two Japanese aiding the Mexi
cans were T. Sudzuki, former principal
of the Tokio Marine College, and M.
■ Nakashima, who has been active in
Mexican interests for years. Naka
shina sailed for Mexico on the Koto
hira Maru. He lived in Mexico for
pearly ten years.
The Mexicans made frequent calls at
the Mexican Legation and were often
seen in company with Colonel Romero,
Carranza’s minister here. The latter
claims, however, that his countrymen
i only came to Japan in quest of new
trade markets for Mexican products.
