HIRED AND FIRED,

The addition of star material to the leading American league clubs goes merrily on. Manager Bill Carrigan of the Red SoX yesterday announced that his club had purchased Sam Ag- new, the veteran catcher, from the St.. Louis Browns. The purchase price is said to be $S.00O. Agnew has not been hitting we'll this season, but he is a top-notch catcher and should help the Red Sox a good deal in their fight for the flag.
 The Giants purchased a new pitcher yesterday, Herbert of the Toronto club who will report to the New York team as soon as the International league season closes This deal, it was said, had no connection with the release of Marquard to Toronto.
 President Chivington of the Amer ican Baseball association last night confirmed rumors that he had dis pensed with the services of Umpire Doyle. Doyle was given notice of his release by me yesterday" Chiving- ton said "There is no question of his competency as an arbiter so far as the technical points of baseball are con- cerned, but temperamentally he is un- suited for the duties.''
 Secretary Quinn of the Colum bus team of the American association an- nounced yesterday the sale of Out fielder Shelton to the New York Americans and Third Baseman Johns to the Chicago Americans. The play CTS will report to their respective teams at once. Announcement also was made of the purchase of First Baseman Sykes and Infielder Steil, both of the Central league. They ap- peared in the Columbus lineup yes- terday.

RUBE CANNED, BALKS.
Sent to Toronto But Refuses to Go
 Wants Outright Release.

New York, Aug. 26.-Walking pa pers were handed to Rube Marquard yesterday by Manager McGraw of the Giants. That is, the manager of the Giants released the veteran southpaW pitcher to the Toronto club of the In ternational league in exchange TOT Pitcher Herbert, but whether he goes there remains to be seen. He talked yesterday as if he would not. v, Maruuard has a three year contract with the New York club, expiring at the end of next season. In sending him to Toronto the club guarantees the salary named in the contract for this season and next and also has the right to recall him any time it may wish to do so. He isn't released out right.
 All the major league clubs waived on Marquard, otherwise he couldn't be sent to a minor organization, but he is said to be dissatisfied and wants his unconditional release. If he obtained this some big league club could take him on without paying the waiver price and the process would relieve the New York club of paying the rest of his contract.
 Bobby Schang, former Pittsburg catcher, now belongs to the Giants. He come by the waiver route and had on a New York uniform yesterday. He can't play until September 1, when the twenty-one player rule become dead letter, or unless room is made for him before that time by reducing .. the list of eligibles.

"Germany has herself been the greatest manufacturer of munitions of war to be supplied to belligerents She supplied munitions to England to subjugate the Boers and to the Turk to keep the Christians in subjection. Let us furnish munitions to the men who. showing courage which we have not show, wish to rescue Belgium from subjection and spoliation and degradaton. Let us encourage mu- milton makers so that we may be able to hold our own when the hour of peril comes to us in our turn, as as- suredly it will come if we show our selves too neutral to speak word on behalf of the weak who are wronged and too slothful and lazy to prepare to defend ourselves against wrong Most assuredly it will come to us if we succeed in persuading great military nations that we are not pre- pared to undertake defensive war for our own vital interest and national honor.

Amerca doing it's international duty, should arouse scornful indignation in every American worth calling such. The leaders among the professional German Am orleans have preached and practiced what comes perilously near to treason against the United states
 Under the Hague convention 1t was our bounden duty to take whatever ac- tion was necessary to prevent and. if not to prevent, then to undo, the hide ous wrong that was done to Belgium. We have shirked this duty. We have shown a spirit so abject that Germany has deemed it safe to kill our women and children on the high seas. AS for the export of munitions of war it would be d base aban donment of morality to refuse to make these ship ments. Such a refusal is proposed only to favor the nation that sank the Lusitania and the Arabic and com nitted the crime against Belgium, the greatest international crime commit ted since the close of the Napoleonic contests a century ago. 1t is an evil thing to practice a tmid and selfish neutrality between right and wrong. It is wrong for an individual. 1t is still more wrong for a nation But it is worse, in the name of neutrality, to favor the nation that has done evil.
New Britain herald., 1915-08-26
Morality Depends Upon Use.

As regards the export of muni- tions of war, the morality of the act depends upon the use to which the munitions are to be put. It was wrong to keep her in subjugation. It is an utterly contemptible thing not to help in every possible way to un- do this wrong. The manufa cturers of cannon, rifles, cartridges, automo- piles or saddlery who refuses to ship them for use by the armies that are striving to restore Belgium to it's own people should be put on a toll of dishonor. Exactly the same mor- ality should obtain internationally that obtains nationally.
 Tt is right for a private firm to furnish arms to the policeman who puts down the thug, the burglar, the white-slaver and the blackhander. It is wrong to furnish the blackhander, the burglar and the white-slaver with weapons to be used against the po- liceman. The analogy holds true in international life.

A 16-year-old boy was the first per-
son to give the news OF Avezzano to
the outside world. He succeeded in
getting back into the town q few mo-
ments after the first shock. He found
a railroad employe and persuaded this
man, with his help, to rig up a tele-
graph instrument in a freight car and
connect it with wire that was still
intact. On the instrument the rail-
road man, who is an operator, soon
got Rome. The two together then
sent the first news of the disaster.
