Had the first warning which the
president issued to the press as the
former and informer of public opinion
been observed with an open mind, the
second would have been unnecessary"
the Staatz Zeitung editorial declares.
"The president urged that the prin.
ciples Of truth and right and fairness
be observed not only in the news col.
umns, but especially in the editorial
expressions of the happenings in the
European theatre OF war. This well
meant warning bore little fruit as any
one may testify who has in tae past

the Anglo-American press.
Germany has been able to defend
itself in the eyes OF the American

Boss Of Blue Sox Recalls Local
Catcher and Utility Man,
Here Since
Spring.
SWEET SIGNS NEW MEN
Raines, Catcher With Hough, Re
places MarshalI-Outfelder Bent
s.as Also Secured by Local
Manager.

Bob Marshall, Indian utility catcher
outfielder. and first baseman, has been
recalled by Davenport and left the
tribe at Muscatine yesterday to join
Dan O'Leary's leaders in the Three
Eye organization. Also, Con Cooper,
Clinton's leading slabster, was sent
for by O'Leary who is intent upon
maintaining his scant lead in the TIL
O., league.
Marshall has been with the tribe
since early in the season and has
been a tower of strength to the club.
He has worked behind the bat when
Sweet needed relief. He has been
sandwiched in at first when shifts re-
quired that he be played there. and
he has worked in the outf1eld on num-
erous occasions.
Marshall has never been sensa
tional player, either at bat or in the
field. but he is a hard worker and
often has been able to do that partic-
ular thing which turned the game to
the tribe. He has always been dan
gerous batter in a pinch and has a
very choice collection OF extra-base
blows to his credit.
When Marshall came here he had
never worked in any position except
behind the bat. He preferred to play
at this place and at first objected
strenuously to being worked in the
outfeld. Playing in positions new to
him has prevented his maintaining a
high fielding average. For a man OF
his size Marshall is exceptionally fast.
Whether or not he will ever reach the
domain Of the majors is question.
HIS work has improved steadily dur
ing the summer and few years OF
experience under competent tutors
may work wonders with the big fence
butter.
Cooper, the Clinton pitcher recalled
with Marshall, has been the n-ainstay
on Hough's staff this season. He has
won % and lost but games. When
Hough's othe- pitchers, including the
embryo Tiger. Smithson, Went bad
"Con" was called on to do the heavy
stuff and he generally delivered the
goods.
Raines, 4 catcher with Clinton for
awhile this year, has been turned
over to Sweet in place of Marshall.
He will probably be with the club
until the close of the year. Bent, a
new outfielder, has also been signed
by the Indian boss

Sporting Views
By the Editor
Introducing. the Braves.

If those fast-going Boston Braves
win the National league ampionship
this year and incidentally play to see
how long it will take for the Athletics
to convince them that 40 per cent is
not so bad" the dopists will have the
finest little job they have had in more
years than we can recall, in telling
who are the players on the team.
To begin with, not great many
fans know OF George Stallings, their
manager, except to have read his
name among the list Of semi-success-
full baseball bosses. Then take Gowdy,
the catcher. Perhaps you never heard
of him a half dozen times aside from
reading his name in the box score.
Well, you'll fnG him in the summary
after the extra base swat Est almost
daily now and in October they'll be
telling you that Jimmy Archer hasn't
much on him. On first base there is
Schmidt. Even we know nothing of
him save that his first name is not
Mike. On second there is Johnny
Evers and he is the one great excep-
ton. If you haven't read Of the Tro-
jan, then you cannot read On third,
you find Smith, who failed to make
good with the Cardinals when failing
to make good with them was some
thing of which a good high school
player might feel ashamed On short,
in Maranville, who though now one
of the greatest stars of the game, was
born to q major league only last year,
and who is so small that a baseball
looks like a pushball in his hands. but
who haa an aptitude at keeping it in
his hands whenever that's the play.
And the outfieId is just as much of
a mystery. Josh DeVore failed to
make good with as shrewd man as
soiih Mseiraw, and there are better
Recommendations than that. Connolly

BAPTIST BOYS ON
HIKE YESTERDAY
They Hit Indian Trail and Event Was
One OF Pleasure and
Profit.

Yesterday morning early, ten boys
sailed forth from the Baptist church,
under the direction OF Rev. F. B. Nc
Allister, to the tall timbers along the
Father Of Waters. The trail was
marked by Robert McCutchen and
Claud Citing, who preceded the tribe
by half hour and marked the winding
path by arrows Of different colors &C.
cording to the direction. While on
the trail good swim was INDUCED
in. The tribe walked until about din
ner time and then went into a deep
and broad rayine for their lunch.
Here there were stories told Of the
great northwest where the Indian, the
half breed and the white man have
played such dramatic scenes.
After a rest, recreatonal games
were played, and a short track meet
held with races and relays. Then the
tribe went again to the river and
played water base ball. This proved
to be a lot Of fun and the boys were
1oath to stop. At the conclusion Of
the trail, some water melons were cut
and the boys ate their fill. They all
voted it some good time" and the
trail hitters separated. The following
were in the group: Ralph Cruze,
Halle Lloyd, Frank Lake, William
Walker, Dorsie Reibol, Raymond JEFF
fers, Merle Strohmeier, Ross Wright,
Robert McCutchen and Claud Citing.
