Team Without Punch
for a Week-Can't
Score Runs
BOSTON is AT
LEADERS HEELS
New York, Too, Seems
to Have Clambered
Back in Race
BY HAROLD Y. WILCOX.


This Is becoming as tedious as the
task OF recording the captures and
recaptures OF Przmysl. but stern and
inexorable duty demands that again
the attention OF a peeved populsce
bs called TO the fact that the Tigers
have been defeated by a tail-end
club by q single run margin, and
that they were very. very lucky TO
get any scores at all. Six games
have the Tigers played in seven
days. and each OF them was decided
by q diversity OF one tally In the
score. one Of them the Tigers won.
Four of them they lost One day II
rained In time to stop the game be-
fore another contest had been cast
away. The seventh day was the
Sabbath. and no game was played.
After feyerishly perusing box
scores for the contests mentioned.
one Ia encouraged TO intimate that
the Jungaleers shot their wad In the
Is TO o rout OF the Red Sox last
week. Recent history holds evidence
that for the Tigers TO get out in
front for a while in the spring. and
then to slip about this time OF year
is q customary performance. Some
how. We thought they wouldn't do
that this year. but one can't help
In ia
noodle just at this juncture. For a
tact. It does look like a splendid
time TO cover bets
The only thing the matter With
the Tigers right now is that they
have lost their punch. Nothing but
a flock OF injuries could be more OF
a blow to pennant possibilities. but
II 10 not yet time 10 declare the Jen-
nings' pastimers cannot stand the
gan.
Hughey thinks he knows q great
ball club when he sees one, and haa
what he considers an absolute test.
"A great bal, club" says X. Au-
burnlocks, rs the club that can re-
cover from a slump quickly. The
cluo that loses courage and stays in
q slump is not great. no matter how
nsshy II may appear at times. The
same test goes for individual play
ers. We all have slumps. The real
folks get out quickly. The dubs
stick TO the dumps"
Hughey was asked what he
thought about the Tigers In this re.
spect. That was when the Bengals
were nghting II out with New York
for the lead
We have been getting our share
OF the breaks and have had no real
test this year" he replied. But we
will have our tough luck before long.
Then can answer that question
Personally, I believe that my boys
can stand the gan"
There you are--the Tigers facing
the test that must prove their class.
and Hughey believing In en-. 10
the demise OF the pennant hopes will
not be announced at present. and no
more mention will be made Of ono
run margins for another "a hours.
at least.

Who said that pitcher couldn't
hit?
Raymond b. Caldwell the star
HEAVIER OF the Yankee pitching staff,
esta blished a modern record by ac-
cumuating three home runs In four
times at bat. At the same time he
set new pinch-hitting mark when
he hit for a homer twice in success
sion while enacting the role Of a sub
stitute hitter. These three circuit
wallops scored seven runs.
Caldwell always has been good
hitter. slim" is really a great ball
player. and II he would only take the
game a little mere seriously there is
not the least doubt he would be one
OF Cobb's hottest rivals. He is n big,
eood-natured. careless fellow. more

PRESIDENT LINcoLN'S ONLY
SON ADMITS SLAVERY

CHduHcey heep, trustee IOr the
Marshall Field estate, and Robert T.
Lincoln, son of the civil war presi-
dent, are Chicago men who have
played the game, of life and money
mainly on a Chicago chess board.
The two are directors of the Pull
man Co. They have become Million
aires through earnings of those COM
panies. What high, stiff wall there
is between them and the workmen
of the Pullman Co. is shown in this
from the official report of Lincoln as
witness before the industrial COM
mission at Washington:
Chairman Walsh-Does it require
action by the board of directors to
fix a new wage schedule for en-
ployes?
Lincoln-I think it would. '
Walsh Would you have any OBJ
lection as director of this company
to have a committee selected by your
workmen meet with your executive
committee Of the board of directors,
the !workmen to present their views
as to what their wages should be and
the facts upon which you might base
an increase of wages?
Lincoln-I don't see-why, have
no objection to it. 1t is rather an awk-
ward way of doing it. Still 1 SUP
pose it can be done.
Walsh-What would you suggest
as being the least, awkward way of
getting the workmen before you?
Lincoln-To have any committee
they wish meet one or more of the |
officials of the company and let them
make a memorandum and present it |
to the executive committee. 1t is pref |
ty hard to get the board of directors
together for such meeting.
. Walsh = Why, don't they like to
meet for that purpose?
Lincolh| don't mean to say that,
but know l would find it very hard
to get a meeting of the board of di-
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-05-14

figured up what would be the differ
ence in the amount of money that it
takes to pay $500 porters $50 a
month, which is above your present
rate and $50 a month, which is nearer
living wage?
Lincoln-That is a matter of pa
per and pencil.
Garretson-For $500 men it would
be $2,S4O,000?
Notwithstanding like that.
Garretson-Is it not possible that
this situation in which you control
the lives of men through their Jobs
and wages had it's foundation in a
condition that existed before the SOS,
when certain railroad companies
when certain railroad companies
owned the brakemen, mean in fee.
The railroads had bills of sale for
their brakemen. 1 know two rail-
roads that did that
lincoln see (laughs).
Garretson-This is something of
parallel, only the employer (the
Pullman CO.. is less responsible than
Lie b4dNS OnAC4s
Witness laughs.
Com. O'Connell - You recognize
there is such thing as industrial
unrest?
Lincoln-There is undoubtedly I'M
rest. So far as it comes to me, it is
the employees want more pay and I
don't blame them for wanting more
compensation,

GERMANS PREPARE
FOR A LONG STAY.
in BONNY FRANCE.
CBy Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Feb. lin occupied dis
tricts of France and Belgium, which
the Associated Press has just visited,
the Germans are plainly preparing for
a long occupation, should it be neces-
sary. Everywhere one sees instances
Of their national thoroughness. When
ever repairs have been carried out
they have been done solidly and meth
odically. Even enameled street signs
occasionally appear where the name
Of street has been changed. The
"gare" has become "Bahnhof", per-
manent signs limiting the speed or
course Of automobiles have been set up
and the visitor from the Fatherland
feels himself quite at home in the once
French public buildings at beholding
the old familiar placards, do not spit
on the floor" or throw refuse in this
basket"
Mingling with the uniforms of the
soldiers are the soberer uniforms OF
the German postal and railway author
tiles. The struggles of their wearers
to understand and make themselves
understood with the French inhabi-
tants form a humorous side of war.
Some of them have acquired a few
words of French, and some @ the in
habitants have reciprocated by learn
ing a few words of German. These,
with the help Of an assortment of fear
full and wonderful gestures, generally
succeed in clearing up the situation.
When all means fail, appeal is made
to some bystander.
In two weeks in the occupied district
the correspondent did not observe a
single case of ilcivility on the part Of
German soldiers or government Off
cials toward the French inhabitants.
On the contrary, the Germans invaria-
bly, displayed great patience and civil
ity.
