ON MOVE
IN BASEBALL FOLD
Many Stars Shift During
the Winter Indoor
Season
NEW RECORD
UP THIS YEAR

The baseball season of 1915 promises
to establish a new record in the trans
fer or release of players and the selec-
tion of new managers for clubs in both
organized and independent leagues. Al
though the new year is just gaining
headway, more than 20 players of
prominence have figured in moves on the
chcssboard Of the national game Among
these players to don managerial togas
are: Roger Bresnahan, of the Chicago
Nationals; Pat Moran, of the Philadel-
phia Nationals; Clarence Rowland, of
the Chicago Americans; Bill Donovan,
of the New York Americans. and Ice
Nagec, of the Brooklyn Fedcrals.
Trades OF cash deals sent Eddie Col
Inns from Philadelphia Athletics to the
Chicago White Sox; Nap Iaioic from
the Cleveland Americans to the Ath-
letics; Sherwood Magee. from the Phila-
dcphia Nationals TO the Boston Braves;
Hans l.obert, of the phillics TO the New
York Giants; Al Dcmarcc, Jack Adams
and Milton Stock from the Giants to
the Phillies; Red Doom, from the Phil
lies 10 Cincinnati, aud Ivy Wingo from
the 81. Louis TO the Cincinnati Ma
tionals. The ultimate destination of
Wingo is in doubt since he is understood
to have considered Federal League offers.
II me joins the independent organization
he is likely to meet Plank and Bender,
formerly Of the Athletics. and several
other players who have figured proni-
nently Ia organized baseball.
Other famous diamond stars who have
been released outright OF who are in
doubt as to the scene of their 1918 ac-
tivitics include: Jack Coombs of the
Athletics; Kid Gleason of the Chicago
Americans; Herman Schaefer, of the
Washington Americans; Walter john
son. of the same club; Ray Caldwell, Of
the New York Americans. and Rube
Narquard, of the New York Giants The
end is not in sight, however, for if tho
american. National and Federal leagues
all operate under the p player plan
during the major portion Of the season
further shifts and reductions may be cN-
pccted. Not far from 700 players were
under contract to clubs in these leagues
last season. whereas about 500 will
probably find employment with the same
organizations during 1918.

Homes of People Deserted

All the villages here. Bessie, have are full of furniture. and some beauti- ful at that hut the people will never return. Troops are occupying nearly every house. those at least which are nhabtable Tnhabitable means with three walls standing Sometimes the roof). for you could not get one whole house in all these villages. People will tell you the Germans can't shoot. Well, they have not seen them. Others. that one Briton is equal to three Germans. They, too. have not seen them There is no difference, Bessie, and because of their having been taught from infancy, militarism the German is the better of the two Look at the figures which each army has in the field and the re- suits will speak for themselves By BritonS I mean all the allies.
 The English and the Scots on the whole are great. and when there is a bayonet charge the Germans are sure 10 run or surrender. One of the men of a certain royal engineers company left to tell the tale of Ypres says he and q few men saw the Prussians going round the British wounded and baNo- netting them. They could not stand that. so a few of them charged the Ger mans, who had three times as many men, The Germans. as usual. fell back into their trenches but the Scotch and English boys pursued them, and then, of all the cheek in the world, the Ger mans threw down their arms and pleaded for mercy Our fellows simply shot them all down Their blood Was up It is terrible You do not know if you are doing right sometimes. A life here, Bessie. i< regarded as nothing So many thousands upon thousands are being killed.

The Germans made an attack during the night and the regiment who was beside our men, took panic and nearly all except two of their officers fled Our twenty. however, under MT.

Some of the returned then and jumped into the trenches and very bruised d good few of our men.

JENNINGS AND RUSTGARD
 FIGHT OVER WARRANTS

habeaS corpus proceedings on the ground that the ordinance is discrim- inative and unfair The ordinance was public against the robberles and gen. eral law breaking which has broken out in this city as a result of the un- employment of a large number of peo- pie, or, perhaps it would be better to Say, because of the influx of large numbers of questionable characters The fight on the ordinance promises to be a hot one.
