Baseball LANGUAGE.


Baseball language, like West Point
French, is something different. Like
all successful literature, 1t embodies
The attempt of the intellect to sur
mount obstacles. In poetry the OBJ
stacle is rhyme and rhythm; in
drama it is the 'unities," the prin-
ciple of suspended interest, the need
to tell complete story In less than
three hours. In baseball writing the
obstacle is the fact that there are
only two things in the game, batting
and fielding; that in each of the two
big leagues there are about $50
games to be reported, one very like
another, and that the sapience of
"fandom" is such that it's members
by scanning the scoring tables can
visualize game as completely as the
broker can visualize scene on
change from his ticker.
The problem of the sporting column
is to tell the reader something he
cannot get from the score and so to
report day after day for six months
the interplay of batting and fielding,
that one days story shall be unlike
another's. Hence the flights Of fancy
which turn ball into pill" a
pitchers arm into SALARY whip"
and his "fast one" into his Smoke"
Hence the conception of an emerg-
ency pitcher as at once "the wreck
ing crew" and old DOC Crandall."

Home-M Mixed Fertilizers are
Cheapest and Best

Practically all farmers who have
given home mixing thorough trial are
convinced that this is by far the most
economical and satisfactory method of
purchasing fertilizers. If you will send
us your name on postal card with re-
quest therefore, we will send you free,
postpaid, leaflets which give the opin-
ions of many successful farmers in this
and neighboring states regarding home
mixing. We will also send number
of formulas which were made up for us
by the Director of the Vermont Expert
ment Station and which have been used
by many farmers In Vermont with ex-
cellent success. We will also give full
directions for mixing fertilizer adapted
60 all the crops commonly raised on
Vermont farms.

Strategy, Superior to Tactics,
Is Chief Factor In
Campaign.

"HERE is no territory in the
world more capable than the
Balkans of illustrating the su-
periority Of strategy over tao
tics-of war in theory over war in
practice-of the soldier unit over the
unit of company or regiment.
The territory in question extends
from the Adriatic to the Black sea.
from Montenegro, Novipazar, Servia
and Roumania to Greece and the wa
tiers of the Aegean and the Marmora.
Its political divisions from west to
east are Albania. including the villa
vets of Scutari, Janina and part of Mon
astir; Macedonia, comprising the re-
naming part of Monastir. and the
vilayets Of Kossovo (old Servia) and
Saloniki. and eastern Turkey. made up

Wan army is Uskub In the east Adri-
anople is being menaced by two or
more Bulgarian columns. In the south
a Greek army Is maneuvering to gain
possession Of the railways to Uskub
and Adrianople.
Adrianople is the most important Of
the three objective points. 1t is sit
uated where the confluences Of the
Tunja and the Arda make the Martha
navigable, at the junction of short
trunk roads from the valleys of both
these tributaries and Of number OF
branch roads with the great Eastern
or Orient railway to ConstantinOple.
From twenty-five to thirty works are
grouped around the town proper. Some
half dozen more have been erected
along the right bank Of the Martha.
eight or nine between the left bank OF
the Martha and the right bank Of the
Tunja and a dozen to the east and
northeast.
On the southeast the town Is poorly
fortified. and to make an investment
flying columns of Bulgarians will
doubtless soon be heard of operating
south of the Notifications in the neigh
borhood Of Lule Burgas and Dimoti-
ka. where the road to Saloniki joins
that Of the orient.
Saloniki is probably the objective
point of the Greek columns operating
eastward along the gulf of Saloniki.
for should the Turks mobilize in time
to gain the junction at Lule Burgas

Bulgarians south of Adrianople would

The strategic position Of Saloniki.
even without covering Notifications. is
measurably strengthened by the neigh
boring lakes. The natural depression
between the Chalcidice heights and the
Bechik dagh. through which the town
might be approached. is occupied for
some thirty miles by lakes of Bechik
and Langaza. and. although there is
one trunk line direct from Sores to
Saloniki, lake Takhyno twenty miles
long and five wide) completely blocks
traffic east and west except on the
coastal strip of land between Orphan
and Rendina.

be impregnable.
Westward along the Aegean coast
there is singular lack of good har-
bors. Throughout the whole length of
it there are few points at which an in
vading force could-still less would
endeavor to land. partly on account of
the sea approach and partly because
the access inland is almost everywhere
bad.

ships should venture to leave the pro-
lection of the Dardanelles and dispute
the control of the Aegean with the
Greek navy the latter is pretty likely
to have things its own way.
The most complete physical barrier
to communication east and west is the
Rhodope range, but the most intricate
is in Albania. which runs in three par
allel systems, penetrated generally only
by the toughest tracks and quite un-
suited for any military operations 9th
er than those of an essentially guer-
rilla character.
Under such conditions of surface re-
lief the relation of the river valleys to
the mountain barriers becomes exceed
ingly important, especially in the case
of the Martha and the Vardar. That
of the Martha is the only route for an
army between the Thraco- Macedonian
highlands and the Istranja dagh. The
former system Is practically uncrossa-
BILE, there not being a continuous track
even up the Arda valley, and the rec

the Black sea. the Ergene valley and
the frontier east of the Tunja, is so
difficult that there is not single trunk
road through it in any direction, al
though at least half dozen branch
lines meet at the important town of
Kirk Kilise the town of forty church
esq, recently taken by Bulgarians.
The Vardar plays similar part be-
tween the Thraco Macedonian high
lands and the Albanian systems, al
though it has not monopoly Of the
area.
The parallel Struma valley works
around the obstacle through a pass
near Juma. which is not more than
1000 feet above the sea, and a trunk
line runs along the eastern bank of
the river for some distance south Of
the frontier, leading on north of it.
also by trunk line, to Dubnika. but the
torrential character Of the river Is so
marked, in spite of it's length Of 225
miles. that throughout part of its CEN
trail course there is not even a contin-
uous track.
The strategic Importance Of the Var
dar valley is. therefore. very great,
particularly as Uskub is situated there.
Uskub commands the Kachnik pass be-
tween the Shar dagh and the Kara
dagh into Kossovo. but it also controls
the old Roman military road around
the north ends of the Ostrovo. Presba
and Okhrida lakes to DuraZzo by FL
basan and the Shkumbi valley. This
route and the Drin valley are the keys
to northern Albania. just as the Viosa
valley and the Metsovo pass are to
southern Albania.
Janina. in the extreme south Of Al
bania, commands the west of the Met
sovo pass, from the trunk line from
Arta via Kalivia to the port of Santi
Quaranta and to the lakes via Osta-
Mise and Koritsa The latter road
joins, at the head Of Lake Presba. the
trunk line between Monastir and
Okhrida. and this makes the little vii
lage of Kasiak the real key to the lake
plateau.
About twenty-five miles to the west
