STILL WATCH
 FOR ZEPPELINS
AIR SHIPS MUST HAVE GOOD WEATHER so WEATHER RE-
 PORTS ARE HIDDEN.
(By The Associated Pross.)

THE HAGUE, Dec. 9.--It is because the German Zeppelin aircraft seldom if ever, undertake extensive opera tions unless favorable weather condit- ions are promised, that the French military authorities issued their recent order forbidding the publication of weather forecasts. Abbe MoreuX, dir ector of the Weather Bureau, has eX- plained how the cutting off of these reports will affect German calcula- tions. He says that the order is no mere whim of the French censor, but is designed to bear vitality upon the much-feared Zeppelin raid on Eng land.
 Tt is clear" the Abbe states, "that the desperate efforts of the Germans to reach the French coast between Dunkirl and Calais are prompted by their intention to attack England with Zeppelins. A dirigible ballon from Antwerp could go the distance of 32O kilo-meters (about 1SO miles) to Lond- on, lombard the city and return to it's base in less than ten hours. Such a trip, however, would have to be made under favorable weather conditions"
 Abbe Moreux explains that in order to work out their weather predictions the Germans would require about six ty reports, which in normal times ap- pear at a certain hour in the principal European cities. The most important weather stations are along the chan mel coasts, so that if France and Eng land send no reports the others are practically valueless. So, he concludes, the Germans will be unable to make their calculations, and will have to run the risk of their huge zeppelins being wrecked by a sudden storm along the channel if they undertake a raid on England.

BRITISH SEND
 GREAT FORCES
IRON DISCIPLINE INSISTED ON AMONGST THE TROOPS
 IN FRANCE.
(By The Associated Press.)

HAVRE, Dec. 9.-During the last week colonial and territorial troops have been arriving from England by the thousands. A part of Kitchener's new army is expected soon, and the huts and foored tents now being erected in the outskirts of Havre are said to be for it's reception.
 The best trained territorial troops, which have been over here long enough to be somewhat acclimatized and broken into the ways of the country, are already being moved up toward the north to take their places in the reserves. As soon as thought fit by the commanders they will be moved into the first line of battle.
 The soldiers in the British expediti- Onary force are kept under iron ulS- cipHne in one respect and those who become unfit for duty through their own fault are sent back to England in disgrace,
 If officers violate Kitchener's orders it means cashierment.
 Tommy Atkins has nothing but praise for the French people. Some troops marched past the market place in Havre the other day according to an American there at the time, and the old fruit women held out their baskets for the soldiers to help them selves. This meant a great sacrifice to them, for their earnings are matter of a few pennies, and they gave away their stock.

Invitation Tournament
Planned for BaltusrOl

Being without any championship
tournament this season the Baltusrol
Golf Club has decided to hold an in
vitation meeting on June 25, IS and
81 and TO get together some of the
best amateurs In this section. OF
course, Jerome d. Travers and Fred
Herreshoff will be abroad, but there
are available such men as Max Behr,
Oswald I<irkby and Walter j. Travis.
As yet conditions have not been ar
ranged, although 1t Is likely that an
eighteen hole qualifying round will
be in order the morning of the first
day, with the first match round that
afternoon. Thus the final round
would be over the thirty six hole
route on Saturday afternoon.
In view of the desire to obtain a
good entry it is hardly likely that
more than two or three flights of six
teen each will be arranged. The
board of governors at a meeting the
other night came to a decision which
settled various rumors going the
rounds.

Joe Shields, Local Semi-Pro,
Signs with MiddletOwn Club

Joe Shields. the local semi profess
sional baseball player, has decided to
enter the professional ranks. He was
signed yesterday by Manager Jack
Lawlor, of the Middletown club of
the New York and New Jersey
League. Shields has had several of
fers during the past two seasons, but
turned down all, apparently content
to play in the semi-pro ranks. A
prominent baseball man, however,
succeeded In persuading Shields to
sign. Shields is one of the best semi
pro infielders In these parts. He is a
clever fielder, while his batting is n
strong feature. He was with the
Metropolitans, of New York; Worth
ingtons, of this city, and the Caldwell
Club last season, having a batting
average of over 400. Shields ought
to go great with the Middletown club.
The man who signed him predicts that
he will in all probability be drafted
within a season. 1t was through
Shields's own request that he start
from the bottom of the ladder.

BASEBALL TRICKS
ARE WHAT COUNT
Slow-Thinking Player Has Lit
tie Chance to Get Along
Nowadays.
TIGERS START GLEE CLUB
(From a Stan Correspondent of the New
ark Evening Star.)

(FrOm a Stan Correspondent of the New
ark Evening Star.)
COLUMBUS, Ga, March 10.-Every
trade has it's tricks sand every branch
of every trade has its little inside
stuff, which is sometimes invisible to
the naked eye Covering an infleld
position, for instance, would appa-
rently consist of handling all the
fielding chances that come your way,
in the opinion of many baseball en-
thusiasts. A runner is on first base
with one out, the score Is close and
every move counts. Do the inf1elders
leave it to chance what they will do
in case the ball Is hit to short, second
or third? Not a bit of It. Each and
every infielder takes q mental note of
the speed of the runner on first base;
calculates how fast a man is at the
plate and his chances for a double
play. Then, when the ball is hit he
knows just what to do with It. The
infielder who cannot learn to plan his
play before 1t comes off is a Bone
head Barry and unless he is a sensa-
tional hitter has very little prospects
of ever becoming we'll known.
Some Players Lack Instinct,
There are ball players who are as
game as they come, but they lack
that precious instructive Judgment a
player must have. For instance, Fred
Here is q man who is a reliable
fielder, but he has lost confidence in
his ability to think rightly. Result,
even though he often has his play
doped out right ahead of time he is
afraid to go through with it. He
hesitates for a second and loses all
chance of getting anybody. just as he
did in that last game of the 1918
worlds series. Even after a man has
plotted his play in the above case, for
instance, he must figure on the rap
idity with which the ball is hit to him
and his chances of making a double
play
When an infield has played together
for two or three years the men know
each other and clockwork precision Is
obtained in the defensive work.
Every man knows just what the other
will do and does not have to worry
about any bag being left uncovered.
Next to having confidence in oneself.
the greatest asset of an inf1elder is
confidence in Ms teammates.
Eddie Zimmerman, third sacker of
the Tigers, has always been noted as
a quick thinker. Ed says that the
hardest part of the play, in his opin-
ion, is fielding the ball. Once that is
accomplished, the mind moves much
faster than the hands and takes
everything into consideration at once.
How often do you see Eddie thinner
man throwing late to second base to
try for a force or q double play and
lose out? If there is one case on rec
ord, it has not occurred during Ed
dies regime with the Tigers. When
an inflelder pulls one of those plays
the fans call 1t a bone, but they sell
dom give credit to men like thinner
man, whose quick thinking and won
derful fielding make great defensive
plays possible.
