the Gulls to three hits and no runs

cruel fan stated that when Hard
grove realized he was not going to
be yanked he began to pitch in

a triple and numerous singles in the

press box it appeared that Hardgrove
threw the ball and then ducked.

weakest in the league. Mobile showed

games.
Hub Northern had several argu-
ments with Umpire Breitenstein yes
terday. and at the close of each argu-
ment Hub would slam out a terrific
wallop. In the third Northern
doubled to the right field fence. In the
fifth after verbal explosion with
Breitenstein, Northern slammed one
to the center field fence for triple.
1t was one of the longest wallops that
the fans have enjoyed this season.
The ball hit the fence and bounded
back almost to second base.
Jimmie Magee got under Powell's
high fly in the first and then dropped
the ball. This is surprising as Ma

PAYING THE ARMY IS
AN ENORMOUS TASK

London. April 5.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. 1.-The pay de-
partment of the British army now en-
ploys nearly 700 officers and about
1000 clerks. This is nearly 10 times
as many people as were required for
the work In times of peace.
The housing of the constantly grow
ing staff of the paymaster's office was
one Of the first difficulties and the Lon
don main office has moved twice since
the war began. Latey Ii has taken to
adding private houses to its office
area. Much of the time since August
the whole army pay organization has
worked day and night.
The soldier receives his pay, if he
wishes 1t, not only at the front. but
even in the trenches. The cash, in
French treasury notes. is issued by his
company officer In the field and is
accounted for on the so-called "ac-
1uittance rolls" Every soldier carries
his paybook right through the war.
As far as possible he is paid weekly.
Men in the advanced trenches draw
their pay almost as If they were In the
barracks at home

STUDENTS
IN JAPAN AROUSED

Picking, March 25.-(Correspondence Of
the Associated Press. 1.-The serious view
which the Chinese government has taken
of the Japanese demands is evinced in
cabinet document promulgated yesterday
to the Chinese students said to number
several thousand, now studying In Japan.
The students have held mass meetings at
the Young Mems Christian association
buildings and other places in Toxic and
elsewhere and some have proposed to
leave Japan In a body, to return TO their
native land. A small number have ac-
tually returned.
In the telegram from the ministry OF
education appear the following words:
Your elders are being subjected to In
tolerable insults and humiliatiOns, but
their hope Is conferred in you, expecting
you to fight your way with brains and
hands. At present you had better concen-
trate your minds on your studies and re-
solve to save the nation at some future
day. You should subdue your patriotic
feelings in judicious measure and bear
insults with patience and fortitude. The
present diplomatic affairs which have ex-
cited you will greatly increase your knowl-
edge and strengthen your spirit.
Embarrassing as the diplomatic situa-
ton is to the government, the latter will
bear full responsibility.

Only Three Pitchers Costly
There Were three pitchers who cost
real coin. They are Gallia, Ayres and
Hopper. For Gallia, Griffith traded
Vaughn and Walker and he figures
that 1t was $4,000 transaction. Ayres
was bought from the Richmond club
for the surprisingly low price of 81 zoo.
Tommy Long, the outfielder. was
traded for Hopper. and $1,000 was spent
in securing Long, Therefore 1t will be
seen that the pitching staff of the
Washington baseball club cost but
$500 and you could not buy one who

amount.

LONDON March S. (by mail TO
New York).-There is no conscrip-
ton in England. But there is a form
of persuasion, that is just as effec-
tive" by which Lord Kitchner's army
has, in part, been made up.
The big landowners OF England are
among the most effective recruiters
that England has today. There are
parts of the little island of England
! where one may stand on a high hill
and look ABOUT him with field glasses
and know that every inch of land, as
far as he can see, is owned by n
man. On this land are small villages.
These villages have their homes,
their business streets, their Libraries,
their hotels and railroad stations and
pistoffices, but every Institution in
the village and every person exists
in that district by permission OF the
duke or lord who owns the land. To
these persons in such villages the
good will of the landowner is OF
more importance than the good VIII
of the king. Ellis grace" as the ten
ants call him, possesses an almost
unlimited power owe the lives and
factions of the tenants.
"His grace in one of these small
towns, has only to publicly express
his wish that every able bodied young
man in that place shall enlist and af-
ter that wish is expressed woe betide
the young man, who, several weeks
later, without good reason, is still
found within the village precinct
The old men and women revile him
and the girls of the village "cut'
him dead. There is only one thing
for him to do and that is to go to
war.
The village of Arunde1. on the S
tate of the Duke of Norfolk, who
owns 10000 acres in the south O
England, is an example of the small
English town where young men arc
not to be seen. What influence the
Duke OF Norfolk used in helping hi
king to secure recruits is not known
