NOTRE DAME MUST
IMPROVE HITTING
BEFORE BIC TRIP
TwirIerS Will Have to Be Given
Workout in Two Games if
They Can Be Expected to
TWiri Against the East.

AS the time for the big games Of
the varsity baseball schedule draws
rapidly nearer, NOtre Dame fans are
very dubious as 10 the outcome or the
crucial tits with N. A. G., Arkansas.
Chinese university and the Dig teams
that will be met on the eastern trip.
The light hitting that has character
lied the varsity's play 10 date is a
source OF worry 10 the local diamond
enthusiasts The gold and blue nine
has been dubbed the "hitless Won
ders," but the varsity hackers are
hoping that hitIess viii be changed
10 hitting, If NOtre Dame expects TO
down mines OF first class Calibre.
NOtTe Dame has been able 10 get
but five hits in each Of the last three
games. Coach Harper will devote
much Of his time during the coming
fortnight 10 improving the batting Of
his men. Instead Of the pitchers
lobbing them 20 the hitters in bat
ting practice. the varsity twirlers will
be instructed TO put on the ball all
they have got in order to accustOm
the batters 10 good pitching A
speedy Improvement I'm the hitting OF
the local club is absolutely essential
for success.
To Work i'm CIoutcrs.
To work into the lineup the best
clOuters on the varsity squad Will be
the aim Of the next two weeks prac-
tice. Up to the present there have
been men on the bench who have
shown ability TO hit the ball on the
nose, but they have not had enough
chances to prove their worth. La
throp was kept out of play during the
early games, but in Saturdays tilt
when given his first real chance 10
make good. he came through with a
neat double that started the fireworks
A
when NOtre Dame chalked up three
runs.
And Iathrop is not the only man
who is able To deliver the goods. Mike
Carmody and Bjoin are men of good
hitting ability and are also fast field
ers and in the present varsity batting
slump they should get a chance 10
edge their way into the gold and blue
lineup. I'D 10 the present they have
been given little work but in this
weeks games with Bethany and Ohio
Wesleyan they should be given an op-
pOTtunity 10 display their hitting
strength. The varsity Outfeld has
been very weak with the bat The
playing Of a. catcher in right field
may be alright when absolutely nee
essary, but when there are good hit
ting outfielders In abundance, the
CatChers should be allowed to do Only
their regular work.
Will Determine Pitchers
This weeks games will also serve
20 determine who shall pitch for
NotTe Dame in the four big games
that are TO be played in the first week
OF May Chilly has shown all kinds
OF stuff and has improved consider
ably since last year, but as yet he has
not worked an inning in varsity
game. BOland also IS a dependable
pitcher. and 1t is likely that these
men will see service this week. Notre
Dame must have two strong hurlers
TO help Kelly out when the gold and
blue meets NJ. A. G. Arkansas twice
and the Chinese in six days. The
pitching OF the local candidates in the
Bethany and Ohio Wesleyan will I'M
doubtedly decide who are TO be Kel-

MIR. SUMMERS OPINION.

MT. Theodore Sumner, manager If the white goods department, linens and kin dred fabrics had just returned from New York, where l saw him yesterday, and he said among other things:
 The stock of linens that we have or hand, of course, will show no advance in price, but later when the prices ad- vance on account of the small Supply practically none you might say, from the foreign manufactures, of course prices will advance here, too. Bieldfeld the principal German center for linens, is practically out of bUsiness on account oi the war, and as we get three-fourths of our linens and white goods from Ger many, Belgium and Austria, there will be great inconvenience on account of the shortage in the future.
 "One thing, however the war will dc that Is really greatly to the interest of American manufacturers, is the fact that it will put them on their metal to turn out as good work as the Germans md other nationalities. We have never real ized before what Germany meant to the world in the matter of supplying the market with necessities as well as lux uries. Formerly we bought three -fourths of the linen, bedspreads, towels, sheetine and all kindred fabrics from England Ireland and Scotland, and now four-fifths Oi IL COiHtS lTOnl the herman cenTerS. When I was in New York I saw grea. tables of goods at the importing places piled up, and when asked what it meant they told me that they were using the goods for samples in order to get the American manufacturers to reproduce them--in other words, to copy them If the American factories get busy and tur, out the right grade of goods, why, there IS no reason why we shouldn't lead the world in the manufacture of white ( ,ods have been selling the cheaper grade of table napkins, for instance. those made in the mills here. at from 90 to 75 cents A dozen. The cheaper restaurants and
 boarding houses use them. One cafe here
 buys as many as 200 dozen week These
 we now pay as much for as we charged
 then. So, of course we can't afford to
 sell them at the old prices. We will still
 be able to get Irish linens and linens iron
 England but the general supply is very
 much impoverished by the German fac
 tories being shut down."

These have scared in price from , cents q gross to $1.5O These small things are all made. m Germany; there are practically nc American reproducers of such things, and the demand is so much greater than the supply since the war that 1t lis almost impossible to get them at any price. Most of the notions we get are made in Leipzig and. Nuremberg and these places being practically de- populated, the men all having gone to the front the factories are closed and there Is no output whatever for the American markets
 "Vevets and fine velveteens, Mir. Pizitz continued, "have advanced tremen- dously in price since the war began. In Glatz, the largest manufacturies in the world for velvets and velveteens are io- cated; in Munchen-G -Gladbach the fine dress goods are made, and at Crefeld, where the silks are manufactured, there is no activity and everything is practi- cally out of business. Another thing that is going to make terrible inroads on col ored goods is the fact that no dyes can be had from the other side. All the dyes used in this country come from Germany. At Chemintz, where the Hermsdorf dyes are made nothing is now being produced This will affect every line of goods. In New York it is predicted that this season would be black and white season. I used to buy170 per cent colored goods and about 30 per cent black goods, but this season the situation is almost reversed. Walking down Fifth avenue in New York two weeks ago I noticed even the chil- dren 10 and 12 years of age were dressed in black.
