SNYDER GAVE UP AUTO TO CONTINUE
 LEADING CLOUT TER

Frank Snyder of the Cardinals is the greatest catcher in baseball to- day, bar none. John McGraw says so, and there are few fans who have seen Snyder play who will deny what McGraw says in this case. He is leading the National League in hit ting. He has caught practically every game his team has played. He has cut down more base runners than any two catchers in the league com bined In fact, he has done about everything that goes to make a great catcher.
 A little incident previous to the de- parture of the Cardinals on their last trip East indicates why Snyder is a great ball player and why he means to players had bought autorno piles. Snyder, hadn't given the buzz wagons much attention, but he finally got to thinking about it, SO one day he took a walk along automobile row in St. Louis He hadn't any particular in tention of buying. but just thought he would give them the once oyer.
 Passing a show window, he saw an automobile that struck his fancy. He may not have known a carburEtor from a friction drive, but the machine had class that even Snyder could fathom. In he stalked and pulling his six feet and two inches and his A chest up to the approaching sales man, said shortly:
 How much for that automobile in the window ?'i
 That will cost you $2,1Oo com salesman began to extol the various advantages of the car.
 That's all right. I'll, take her,. said Snyder shortly. -.'Trot her out and show me how she runs.''
 Snyder learned the points of his a61< CT-f One day he appeared at the Cardinal ball park via street car.
 Where's the automobile, Frank ?'' a fellow player inquire q.
 Shipped her home to Texas. Can't lead the National League in hitting aand catch good ball if I run that thing around,'' was the answer.
 Nobody had noticed that Snyder's S work had been affected by his auto mobile driving, but the attitude taken iousnesS of purpose. It's the some thing in Snyder that wins while other players fail and complain and seek alibis.
 No alibis for Frank Snyder; not even the pleasures of a new autono- bile can move him from the path he has cut out for himself-to be the leagues best catcher and lead it in hitting.
 They say Frank Snyder never smiI-
 
 That smile came to his lips when Mike Donlin tried to get his goat one day by calling him a name that no Texan takes It was a smile terrible to behold That Mike Donlin is alive today at least is not a cripple for life is due to the fact probably that Cardinal players who know Snyder's disposition and realized what his short laugh meant for Donlin grab bed him bodily, a half dozen or more of them, and held him until Donlin could. escape to the.cIub house.
 They tell another story of Snyder It happened in Texas. He encounter ed a gang of ruff1ans and laid out three or four of them before he made his way back to camp.
 What did you mean by beating those fellows up that way?" some one asked Frank in a jocuIar way
 Had to do that; forgot my gum was the quiet answer, simply and earnestly and everybody felt that Snyder's forgetfulness probably saw ed the Texas coroner a triple inquest

U. S. TO PUSH INQUIRY
INTO ODENWALD CASE
Laws of Neutrality Governing
Belligerent Ships to Be Wig
orously Enforced.

WASHINGTON, March 23-That the
United States intends to enforce to the
letter the laws Of neutrality governing
belIigerents' ships that touch at American
ports is indicated in striking fashion in
the case of the Hamburg-Amerlcan liner
Odenwald. which was prevented from
leaving San Juan. Porto Rico, yesterday
by shots fired across her bows by order
of the American authorities.
\ thorough inquiry into the clrcum-
stances that led to this incident Is now
being made by Secretary Garrison in
conjunction with officials of the Treasury
Department.
The United States customs inspector
aboard the Odenwold was forced TO leave
the vessel and was put into small boat.
The inspector had protested when the
ship prepared to make a dash for the
open sea. The German captain, how
ever, ignored the protest of the customs
official and then ordered him off the
vessel.
The Odenwald is being held at San
Juan by authority of the resolution passed
just before Congress adjourned. which
empowers the President to prevent ship
ments of supplies from American ports
to belligerent vessels at sea
Authoritative information has been re-
ceived here that the Hamburg American
liner has on board large supply of coal
which, il is assumed, the vessel intended
TO turn over TO the German converted
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, recently re-
ported not far from the Porto Rican
coast.

BLOCKADE PROTEST
UPHOLDS U. 5. RIGHTS
Cabinet Takes Up American
Answer to British Order in
Council.
WASHINGTON. March %.

The blockade note OF the United
States today was before President Wilson
and his Cabinet.
The Chief Executive and his advisers
are understood to have gone over the
points to be made by this Government to-
Great Britain and France on the plan to
cut off all trade with Germany, and to
have settled on tentative outline of the
communication.
The policy of silence as to the nature
OF the representations was maintained by
the Cabinet, and no statement was forth
coming except that the note would be put
on the cables within a few days.
1t was intimated. however by persons
close TO the Administration that the rep
reservations would uphold strongly the
stand of this Government that neutral
commerce. except in contraband must be
free to move,
In support OF this, II was asserted. the
attitude of the United States during the
Civil War might be cited. as it is held
by legal experts that the situation then
was virtually the same as i'm the present
case. The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the famous "Mata-
moras cases" furnishes strong foundation
for the communication to be sent to Eng
land and France they say.
In the "Matamoras cases" the lawyers
argue. the Peterhoff and other ships We're
captured and the cargoes condemned by
a prize court. They were en- route from
England to Matamoras. Mexico. Chief
Justice Chase on appeal to the Supreme
Court, ruled that neutral commerce with
Matamoras except in contraband," was
entirely free and that trade between

to supply from Matamoras goods to
Texas. violated no blockade and cannot
be declared unlawful"
The President in his discussions with
callers today, let It be known that the
reply Of the United States is not vet
ready
lie would not go further than this. lntl-
mating that he did not regard himself in
a position to reveal what the contents of
the note would be.
