FRESH GOSSIP FROM
 THE BARONIAL CAMP
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

Orlando. March 2l.--tSpecial.) )-With the release of Rogers McDuffie and Bernie Love. "Hi'' Colwell, 'Bill' Hodges and Fred Jacobi from the Baronial training squad, said squad has been reduced to Q men.
 McDuffie and Love are slated for the Jacksonville club and McDuffie, it IS expected, will make good in the South Atlantic league. Love has a sore arm and until he rounds into condition it will be impossible to pass judgment on this younster.
 Colwell is raw, rangy youngster and has not displayed any form this spring on the mound. Hodges and Jacobi, al- though excellent catchers, could not hope to compete with George Hale and John Wallace or "Stuffy" Johnson
 
 Chubby Carleton is on the still hunt for a keystoner. Eddie Mcdonald, who was slated to report. failed to show up last week and the Birmingham club can celled his transportation. This means that Mcdonald will have to pay his own ex- penses this spring to report at Orlando or at Birmingham. It is quite likely that the independence of Eddie Mcdonald will cost him lucrative job on the Baron team this season. But the Birmingham

club cannot afford to bow down to the whims of a temperamenta1 player.
 Without Mcdonald the situation at the second bag remains about the same. Dan- ny Clark is still making game fight for the position and on scintillating field ing Is making a better showing that Ce- cil Coombs. But Coombs is there with the timely wallops and this will keen the ex-White Sox player in the Baronial lineup. However, neither Coombs nor Clark are up to the form of LIP Mar can and the keystone station is consid- cred by Molesworth to be the weakest market for a classy second sacker.
 
 It will be difficult to deprive Coombs of a place In the lineup, owing to his terrific hitting and Molesworth may de- eide to make an outfielder out of him. Although just where Moley could place Coombs in the outfield is a puzzle as the present Baronial set of gardeners are considered the class of the league. To bump Tod Sloan, Clyde Mcbride and Jimmie Magee out of regular job would test the mettle of the best of them. In reserve Molesworth has the speedy Red" Stewart and the hard-hitting Arthur liar tie. who has created such a favorable impression in the exhibition games. Coombs is bound to stick with the club as his wallops are valuable, but just where is a question:

CATHOLICS OBSERVE
 PEACE SUNDAY''
Feature of Services Was Peace Prayer Composed By Pope
 Benedict XIV

The Catholic churches throughout the United States observed yesterday as Peace Sunday" A feature of the special services was a prayer composed for the occasion by Pope Benedict KY.
 At St. PauPs church the word Pax shone from the high altar the letters being formed by lighted candles.
 The pope's prayer follows:
 "Dismayed by the horrors of war which is bringing ruin to peoples and nations, we turn, O Jesus, to Thy most loving heart as to our last hope O God of Mercy, with tears we invoke Thee to end this fearful scourge; Q King of Peace, we humbly implore the peace for which we long,
 From Thy sacred heart Thou didst shed forth over the world divine charity, so that discord might end and love alone might reign among men. During Thy life on earth Thy heart beat with tender compassion for the sorrows of men; in this hour made terrible with burning hate, with blood- shed and with slaughter, once more may Thy divine heart be moved to pity. Pity the countless mothers in anguish for the fate of their sons; pity the runberless families now bereaved of their fathers; pity Europe, over which broods such havoc and disaster
 Do Thou inspire rulers and peoples with counsels of meekness, do Thou heal the discords that tear the nations asunder; Thou who didst shed Thy precious blood that they night live ns brothers, bring men together once more in loving harmony. And as once before to the cry of the Apostle Peter. Save us, Lord, we perish" Thou didst answer with words of mercy and didst still the raging waves so now deign to hear our trustful prayer, and give back to- the world peace and tram quility.
 And do Thou. o most holy Virgin, as in other times of sore distress, be now our help, our protection and our safeguard. Amen"

.LACON|C TELEGRAM
 FROM GEN. SCOTT
 TELLS OF SUCCESS
"White Chief" Goes Single Handed Into Piute Ter rit0ry After Savage.
 Gets Him

Washington, March 2I.--A 1aconic tele- gram came to the war department today from Brig. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, at Bluff, Utah, announcing that the general was bringing in the four Piute Indians who recently led a band of their tribesmen on the warpath when the fed eral authorities attempted to arrest Tse- Ne-Gat for murder. The message, ad- dressed to Secretary Garrison said.
 Successful. Have four Flutes desired by Marshal Nebeker and am, at their de sire, personally conducting them to Salt Lake City to turn over to Marshal Nebe- ker. Am leaving everything psaceable behind us in southern Utah. Should reach Thompson Tuesday and Salt Lake City Wednesday"
 Secretary Garrison, gratified and re Jieved of more anxiety than he had cared to confess by the report, at once dis patched the following to the general:
 T heartily congratulate you on obtain ing success in circumstances which seemed to make it impossible. l appre~ ciate your work in the highest degree.
 General Scott's Arrival
 Newspaper dispatches last night told of General Scotts arrival at Bluff with the four Indians, Tse-Ne-Gat and his father, "Old Polk" Chief Posey and the lattcrs son. The party rode in just 10 days after General Scott, unarmed and accompanied only by an orderly and two NayaJo scouts had started off on snow covered mountain trail for the distant hiding place of the Flutes
 The general went to the scene after the Indians had driven off a posse head ed by Marshal Nebeker, which under RTz Ts.I nx1a Der of the posse and two Indians were killed in the battle. Some If the older officers at the war department shook their heads gloomily and recalled har- rowing experiences of their own in the Indian country when the chief of staff undertook this mission. General Scott started out cheerfully. however, con f1dent of success and scouting the idea that he was risking his life.
 Throughout a long and distingui career, the general as been noted for his astounding success as peace- maker both with the Indians of the west and with the fierce tribesmen of the Philippines. This is only one of many times that he has gone unarmed to seek cut and bring into camp a fugitive savage who, though willing to fight to the death for liberty against a troop of cavalry, succumbed to the eloquent arguments of the White Chief.
 Since he has been chief of staff the general has been called upon once or twice to exercise his talents as dip1o- matist. Several months ago when a critical situation had arisen as a re- suit of continued firing into American territory by the opposing Mexican fac- tions at Naco, General Scott went down to the border for personal conferences with General Villa and General Hill. commander of the Carranza garrison al Naco. He stopped the firing.
