Germany Has Trouble
Getting Rid of English
Terms in Sport Talk

Berlin. Germany. March 20.-The pro-
cess Of clearing out all foreign ele-
ments from the German language has
now been extended 10 the vocabulary
Of sports. A long list of words. main
" English, has been made up by the
committee in charEe Of this reform,
and Germans from all parts of the
country have been invited to make sug-
gestions for German equivalents for
these words
Some alterations have been already
accepted, among them being. For
steeplechase, Hin. crnisrennen-" for
start "Auffahren;" for handicap,
Ausgleichrennen;" for maiden race,
'Rennen fur sieglOse pferde."
Such words as cricket and golf. il is
admitted, present difficulties, as do all
the terms connected with those two
games. The trouble is to find express
slons, without too much length, which
VIII accurately say what is meant. But
the greatest difficulty Of all is With
the word sport" itself

Money Is Easy and Food Sufficient

" Jenna, Austria March 20.-In
" the official reports is-ued by the
city Of Vienna as to conditions
here during wartime it is pointed out
today that Austria-Hungary through
the war has suffered economically no
more than the allies and the neutral
powers. As proof the fact is given that
savings bank deposits in 1914 de-
creased only $1,000 900 crowns and that
the money market continues eXtraord-
inarily easy.
The supply Of foodstuffs during jan
uary in general was sufficient although
various articles of necessity showed an
increase in price. Only the flour situI-
ticn has not improved owing TO the ex-
listing high prices for wheat and flour
in Vienna and other communities.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE
worlds series now has reached a
stage where everyone you meet in
sists upon showing stiff forefnger
through your chest bone thereby
proving that you are wrong. Who
ever can push his forefinger deepest
into the chest of the other guy wins,
and, on that basis the Red Sox are
big favorites; Boston forefngers
seem larger and hornier and sitter
than the Philadelphia yariety.
We lost an argument and two
lung cells to one gent today and re-
treated, taking our chest bone with
US, to a place where no forefinger
can repeat. The gentleman was try
ing to convince us that Alexander
will not pitch today's game and his
forefnger argument is more con-
vincing than any logic.
The game today. as both teams
recognize, probably will decide the
series. If Alexander can 60 through
again the Phils still have chance.
If he fails and the wisest of the
critics believe he will, the series is
as good as ended.
The Philadelphia argument all ap-
pears to be based upon the assumption
that the Phils can hit left handed pitch
Ing and In support OF this contention
they cite figures to show that the Phils
this season have been slamming the
left-handers of the National League in
terrific style.
The Boston reply Is that the species
of left-hander existing In the National
League is in no ways comparable with
the kind that shoots them across in the
American League. As see 1t there is
no left-handed pitcher in the National
League who ranks with either OF the
Red Sox southpaws. and further that
the Phillies have not hit the National
League left-handers to the extent that
they claim they have. Undoubtedly
they bat better against left-handed
pitching than the average club does.
and they have two men who hit the
soupthpaws hard. Beyond doubt too
Carrigan has had news OF TINS alleged
prowess of the Phils against left
handlers. and 1t looks as II he has dis
played good cencralship in saving his
southpaws until the teams got on to

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. lit was
the beginning of the ninth inning
Of the Saturday game Of the worlds
series with the score a tie, when
Foster came to the bench after
pitching one of the most brilliant
battles of his career and one Of the
best ever shown by any pitcher in a
big series. He walked over to the
corner of the bench where Carrigan
was standing. He has not done much
sitting down during this series. .
"Bill," said Foster, "if you will
get me a man on second base in this
inning by the time l come to bat, !
will bring him in"
Carrigan got a runner on second
with two out when Foster came up
to the bat. He had already made
two hits SO not many of US looked
to see him come through again al
though we all knew he had ability
as a sticker. But he did. He drilled
out the hit that won the game for
US.

5ecNld base and substitute ran out
to hand him his sweater. Hes tho

Fosters work on Saturday was a
tonic TO all of us. As the scrappy little
twirler went out to the box In the
NINTH Carrigan said: with that lead
OF one run. watch him go now. They
will never stop him. The Phillies
haven't chance"
The spirit Of Foster Is In the whole
ball club now. We had a little meeting
yesterday and went over different plays
and the pitchers we are liable to face.
But Foster had put the spirit In the
team. Pitching Of the sort he showed Sat
urday would put spirit into anything. On
Friday we did not feel natural some
how. II was a worlds series and new.
But Saturday we played better ball.
for we had the natural feel' which
means a lot - a hall club. II is a hard
asset to describe, hut very valuable as
any big iearucr will tell you. II Is a

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 11.-Before
the series started lots of people, es-
pecially those who even now cannot
believe that the Phils are a first
class ball club, said that If we
should beat the Red Sox for the title
OF champions Of the world we would
owe clost OF our success to the short
fences in our ball park.
On the contrary, il it had not
been for the short fences, we would
now have two games won, instead
of having won one and lost one.

Luoy's hit passed Speaker. and II the
fence had not stopped IT, would have
rolled out too far for Speaker to re-
cover II in time to prevent Ludy scor-
ing on the drive.
That is one instance where the short
fence was 10 the advantage of the Red
Sox Saturday. Another time was when
Foster hit the wall for double That
would have been an easy out for
Cravath II II had not been for the
fence.
At nrst glance II may appear that
since Foster did not score anyway the
hit did not figure in the result, but II
should be remembered that II Foster
had been retired then he would not
