civilized warfare permits its use. Ac-
cording to laws OF war, il cannot be used
except for defensive work.
But its use for offensive work is Of
fenslve. That is where the aesthetic prop

an enemy is about to do something that
will need defence7 Therefore, lots OF tro-
toll gelatin will go along on expeditions of

One pretty idea OF defence with trotol

any enemy that persists in advancing
with the possibility of rock showers and
a ride aloft at every few feet has more
than the average foolishness.
Two men from each company OF the

squad for Yesterdays practice. They are
a supplementary squad 10 the regular
company squad that Lieutenant Wood

Lieutenant Woodward and Lieutenant
Larry" Donovan they began a series OF

morning.
They were taught TO ride ungentle
horses by Lieutenant Donovan prepara-

death. What with handling new horses
and holding trotol gelatin, that might
explode any moment, there was any
amount OF interest TO keep their minds
from wandering off the matter in hand.

In other departments the team is
playing bang-up ball, and right now
looks better than the McGraw gang.
New York is slumping. The pitch

only when the batters get together

opposition.
The same proposition confronted
the Cubs earlier in the year, but now

enough for most any game.
Humphries seems to have returned

the same man who blew through the
league at top speed last season. His
wide hook curve has the same sweep,
he has regained much of his lost con-
troll, and possesses speed.
Cheney and Vaughn are fit running
mates for HUMPHREYS. Both are eff
fective against most any team in the
league, and Cheney is as good a res
cuer as there is in the business. The
necessary fourth man is problem.
Lavender has pitched some good ball
this season, and he has also given
some very cheesy exhibitions.

and it would have been enough if the
infield had not cracked and made
four errors in one inning. Three runs
resulted.
But they could not be charged to
Walsh. He did everything that a
pitcher could do, and lot more than
was expected Ed worked with his old
ease, and apparently had as much
speed as ever. There was the same
battling downward break on his spit
ball.
The only bIemish on his work was
lack of control. Now and then this
fault forced him to throttle down the
speed and discard the splitter in order
to get the pill across the plate.
Control could not have been ex-
game for the Big Reel this year, and
he did not have the proper range Of
the plate.
The return of Walsh will put more
fight into the already slamming Sox.
They play with more confidence be-
hind the big fellow, though he can't
do any better work than the other
pitchers have been providing.
Nevertheless, he will have heart
ening effect on the whole team. The
other pitchers will use everything
they have, knowing that if danger
threatens the Big Spit is out in the
bull pen, warmed up and ready to
come to the rescue.
