German Influences at work.

Major Walter w Penfield, u. s. A.,
retired, head of the arms company
expresses the belief that the difficult
ties are due to the work of German
sympathizers who wish to hinder the
Shipment of war munitions. There
is not the shadow Of doubt lie

Statement of Company.
The following statement was is
sued by the company today:
The statement appearing in the
newspapers yesterday and today COW
ering the labor troubles at the plant
Of the Remington Arms and Ammuni-
ton company take a much more seri-
Ious view of the situation than is war
ranted by the facts. One report
ernanating from New York conveyed
sic impression that 10000 men were
on the verge of quitting work. This,
of course, is ridiculous, as not more
than $50 men are so far involved
and unless affairs take decided turn
] for the worse, this is about as far as
the trouble Is likely to spread.
The New York Times minated
~ morning proba hility that tie
manufacture OF arms and ammuni-
tons at Bridgeport would be brought
tie standstill and that most serious
consequences would result. This is
the impression which the labor peo-
PIE are most anxious to convey
Like Tempest in Teapot.
But the whole affair so far is
ke tempest in d teapot. No sane
reason can be given for this strike
the iron workers or for any con-
tempiated strike where men are en-
gaged under union rules paid union
wages and given continuous work.

The Notre Dame Wabash contest
this afternoon will virtually decide the
college and university baseball cham
piOnship Of Indiana. The Little Gil
ants" have defeated Purdue and the
"BOilermakers" have won from Indi-

The fact Will add much interest to
the already important game which

Factory Lads.

Singers factory league ball club will
have its first practice game Of the
year this afternoon, when they and
the Day Dodgers of NOtre Dame Will
be the opponents at the factory park.
The Day Dodgers have speedy club,
although they were mauled a couple
of times by Ed Smiths leaguers, and
should give the Singers warm battle
for the hOnOrs.
G. T.. LentZ, manager pro tenn of the
factory leagueTs, has gathered to-
gether what appears to be a fair
bunch of players this spring. lie has
been working out under handicap but
has lined up some fast men. one of
these is Eddie Diem, the 1914 HOOsier
right fielder who was released by Ed
Smith this week. Ed wants to stay
i'm South Bend treason unknown but
suspected and has secured q position
at the Singer plant. He will be in cen
terrified for the champions this after
noon. Ellis, the third sacker recruit
who tried out with Smith is also at
Singers and will be on the right field
lob. Singers have scared the ser
vices of Martin. the yOunSter hurler
from Smith for the fray today and 1t
is probable that he Will start the
game.
The club will lineup as follows:

that smith may lose Joe Claney. the

LITTLE NOTES ABOUT
SMITHS HOLSTERS

Ed Duffy, one of the Hoosier hurl-
ers, was hurt during batting practice
Friday morning and the injury may
keep him out Of the game for some
time. He was pitching to the batters
and Bert Broder sent a line drive at
him, the ball striking his right shout
der. The injury panied Duffy so
much that Smith sent him home for
the day. The wound may prove seri-
Gus as the ball struck Duffy on his
money wing and Broder drove the
ball with unusual force. But Duffy
withstands SO many knocks such as
these that he is expected to recover
and have his iron arm" in condition
within a few days. If nothing more
develops it is probable that the wing
Will be sore for a time.
Bert Broder. the diminutive left
fielder, base runner and leading clout-
er of the HOosiers in 1914, reported
TO Smith Friday that he was ready for
the sound of the gong. Bert is in
good all around shape, perhaps in
better running form than last year
while his arm is working fine. Dur
ing the outteld practice yesterday the
little man was shooting them into the
plate with speed and accuracy. He
expects to equal his 1914 mark Of
1922 during the coming summer
Hixenbaugh. the sheldon. Ind.
third sackeT, sent to Smith by Tom
Stevenson, is cantering around third
base in regular league style. ''HiX"
has a bunch of real pepper. fields fast
and unerringly and has a good arm.
He is speedy on his pins although not
..- -fr y, n, D,
be. He viii be at the hot corner at
least until Ben Koehler returns from
the hospital.
James Eschen. son of the elder
Eschen. Brooklyn y. Y, L. s. A,
who Will wander among the green
blades between the center screen and
second base, has an arm with the
power of a - centimeter gun. In the
outdelding practice Friday afternoon
Jimmy was lining the ball TO the plate
like a bullet. it is a certainty that
some of these SOumichiganders are
going TO be disappointed this summer
when they think they have put one
safe into center This boy Eschen
runs like the twentieth Century and
grabs them from the atmosphere at
the same pace. He throws with pre-
cision. "Smitty" anticipates the cut
the stellar outhelder. Smith is fOrtu-
nate in having a man such as Jimmy
on the club but James himself shows
considerable good sense when he says
he has q better chance of getting into
the big leagues from here than from
some other organizations.
Ed took his infielders into council
Friday afternoon and gave them some
orders preliminary to the game with
the Crickets today and tomorrow.
He pointed out several things that
each of the men were 10 remember
and gave them some instructions per
tanning 10 fielding and signals
