The death toll among the European
athletes is growing to a large num-
Der. Many of the best athletes on
the other side are fighting in the
war, and scarcely a day passes with
out recording the death OF one or
more whose names are familiar in
athletic circles. It is estimated that
IN England alone nearly 1000 men
who have achieved fame in various
branches of sport are serving with
the colors. OF this number over $50
of the best-known Cambridge Univer-
sity athletes are at the front
The latest list of British killed in
France includes G. r. l.. Anderson,
hurdler, and Lieut.. A. L. J. Collins,
a cricketer Anderson was twice
English amateur champion at both
high and low hurdles, and ran for
England at the Stockholm Olympic
games. Lieutenant Collins made the
highest individual cricket score on
record. ID. f. McNicol, the British
One-mile amateur champion, con-
tracted pneumonia while in military
camp and died.
Among the officers whose names
appear on the latest casualty list are
Lieut. II. T.. Tippisley. Gloucester

Lieut. w. S. Talland Gloucestershire

and Capt. s. f. A. Hunt, county eric

letes are on the hospital list, several
of whom are seriously wounded.

are now in service includes Athony

permits in turn better control, and
there are Fed players aplenty who
knew positively of the emery ball
having been their pitchers through
out the season.
That's not bad idea someone had
regarding the added interest that
would follow if Big League holiday
dates were rearranged. Secretary
Foster of the Giants, is strong
booster of the plan to have West
meet East on holidays, instead of
having Eastern and Western teams
play among themselves on those
days. In the old days Eastern clubs
met Western clubs and the result
was added interest as well as added
eagles to the Golfers of the magnates.
Under the system in vogue for the
past few years the fans are claimed
to have tired of seeing the same old
clubs play on holidays. Secretary
Foster pointed out that the West
turns out strong on the Fourth Of
July but not so we'll on Decoration
Day. II is just the opposite in the
East, according to box Office figures.

Cincinnati MUST
Develop TWO MEN
First and Third Bases Are
the Weak Spots on Her
zOg'S Lineup
THINKS HE HAS
THE NEW MATERIAL

CINCINNATI. O.. Dec. Charlie
Herzog frankly says that great deal
of the Reds prospects for 1915 will
depend upon the development Of two
men-also that these two will have
to be developed in both branches Of
the game-offensive and defensive. In
other words. the Reds cannot sue
coed unless they have a first and
third baseman, both able to hit heav-
lily as well as defend their positions.
Tho team batted very feebly during
the season of 1914. Heavy-hitting
outfelders, who form the smuggling
force of nearly all clubs, are scarce;
few of them seem obtainable, and
the Reds don't seem to find any. Most
clubs can sacrifice infeld batting
power in favor of a stonewall de-
Tense, because the outfield WALLPAPERS
will make good in such fashion as
to even up this weakness. Not so
with the Reds. The Cincinnati out
field is shy on hitting strength; there
seems small chance that there will
be much reinforcement, and the in
field will simply have to make up the
deficit. Hence it is absolutely neces-
sary that the first and third basemen
should be hitters as well as reliable
felders-which makes Herzog's task
at Alexandria doubly wearisome.
There is no need to worry about
the gents who will cover second and
short, inasmuch as H. Groh and c.
Herzog have already shown that they
can belt that ball with profuse vital
ity. AS to the first baseman: The
club has a flock of them, but not one
( of the flock showed enough batting
ability to break pane of glass. Take
that back-they might break a pane
of glass, but they couldn't dent

gather them no matter where they
come, play that first base like a
Donohue, and makes no more bone
plays or slow mistakes than are
natural for a young and inexperi-
enced performer. But Mr. Mollwitz
| hit only 100; and where does a man
who bats like that get off at, any

help learning how to hit-hence the

NEW YORK, Dec. THE now ia
nous emery ball may be the answer
to the great pitching which the Fed
cral League produced last summer.
The records show that, taken as a
whole, there was better twirling
among the new league than in the
older organization. II is significant
that many of the moundsmen who
did the best work were "come-backs'
who had suffered harsh handling by
American and National League bats
men before they forsook the old love
for the new.
Cy Falkenberg's case is one in
point The lanky Cy is highly HAT
tered by having il said of him that
he pitched even mediocre ball for
Washington some years back He
did fairly well for Cleveland later,
but not well enough, so he was sent
to the American Association. Then
Cleveland took him back. His re-
turn TO the big leagues and to win
ming form was noteworthy.
Folks who know Falkenberg per-
sonally. claim that il was he who
invented the emery ball. and that his
victorious campaign after a time in
the minors was due to tossing a
sandpapered sphere to the batters.
Then Cy jumped TO the Feds. His
winning greatly outnumbered the
defeats, and there was little effort
to conceal the fact that Cy worked
the emery ball overtime.
The Federal League has not de-
clared against this scraping of a

ford the pitcher a better grasp which

Yet now comes the disappointing news
that only about SO, 900 of them voted in
