JOHNNY EyERS is BEST
MAN ON HIS TEAM

NEW YORK, July 1O.--Johnny
Evers is the most valuable man to
his team of any player in the game.
And that statement has the whole
souled support of sport writer's, crit
les, staticians, just plain fans--and
in fact, every one of those 10000 odd
spectators who saw the dimunitive
dynamo break back into the game
against the Giants here recently
after a nine weeks lay off with a
bum knuckle.
New York fans hate Johnny Evers
from a baseball standpoint. The
reason is that they fear him. His
every appearance is signal for his
ses, cat-calls, hooting everything
that the great American fan indulges
in when the object of his wrath floats
across his vision. 10
The Giants and Braves were playing
double header. The New York IS
had taken two games from Stalling's
crew the day before. and had taken
the first game Of the second double
header. AS the teams lined up to
play the second game slim figure
slipped from the Boston bench and
made his way, limping, to second
base. The crowd knew him instantly
and there was veritable bedlam Of
jesring, hissing and yelling. John

ny Eevrs was back.
When he came In to the bench af-
tor the Giants had been retired, the
crowd at the Boston bench Immediately
got on his neck" riding him unmerci-
fully. But Johnny never ducked. He
came right back at them, hurling their
imprecations bacy into their faces,
jeering at them. ridiculing them,
Dragging of what he would do the
first time up and pitying them because
they had to support tie Giants.
He shouldered his bat and went
up to the plate. addressed few un-
complimentary remarks to Meyers
who was catching for the Giants, told
Rigler to wake up threatened Young
Stroud, pitching for the Giants, and
then proceeded to slam the ball into
center field for clean single. From
first base he peered at the fans near
est to him.
His work on the field was even
more surchargcd with speed and cut
ting remarks. He rallied at his tenn
mates, cursed them, cajoled them,
pitied them-and they liked It. On
the Boston bench all that could be
heard was "Say, amt it great to have
Johnny back"
That day he got a single, double
and a homer, and his four fly swat
drove in a man ahead OF him-the only
two runs scored in the game. The
Braves won to 0.
Maybe Detroit couldn't get along
without Cobb, maybe the Red Sox
would fall through the bottoml of
the league without Speaker, or the
White Sox go flooey but for Collins,
but the dimunitive. dynamic Evers'
worth to the Boston Braves simply
can't be estimated.

GERMAN REPLY
kffNLY FELT
Germany Expresses Desire to Observe Rules Of
Warefafe Acting Only in Self Defense
Desires AmiCiab|e Settlement
United Press.

United Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July TO-
Germany's reply to our notes, justify
ing the sinking of the Lusitania is
keenly felt, inasmuch as President
Wilson made the loss of American
lives the chief text of the last two
notes.
Throughout the note Germany af-
firms her original desire to fight ac-
cording to the rules of warfare, but
insists that her rivals have forced
her to fight for her existence
The note calmly states that she is
using every weapon in self defense
Germany has no intention of cur
failing summarizing, although she is
willing to do everything possible to
avoid jeaporiizing the lives of Ameri-
cans.
The note said that Germany is un-
able to admit that American citizens
can protect an enemy's ship through
the mere fact of their presence aboard
the ship.
Germany requests that American
notify her in advance of the sailing
of ships in return for submarines
not molesting neutrals, will be re-
iected. To do that would make Ameri-
ca Germany's ally.
The courteous wording of the note
is accented as proof that il is Ger
manv's desire to make an amicable
settlement.
The German note showed that they
have not sensed the American posi-
tion, despite the voluminous exchang-
es.

Tho amount Of work, money and
gifts contributed by America is SO
great that it is impossible to COM
pute the value, the author says.
Highest praise is given to Americans
in London who have worked unstint-
ingly in relieving distress among the
sufferers of the war. Among the
leading Americans in London in this
work is Gordon Selfridge, owner of
one Of LondOn's department stores.
The commission of relief in Belgium
formed under the auspices of influ-
ential Americans and almost wholly
conducted by Americans has thus far
imported into Belgium food supplies
valued at more than $50,000,000.
The American Red Cross society
has sent more than seventy sur
gsons and 200 nurses to the battle
fields Of Europe as well as sani-
tary commission. The hospitals of
this organization are scattered over
all hostile areas Of Europe.
The American Women's war relief
fund which has collected large funds
for relief and organized many hos
pitfalls is now organizing another hos
pital in Devon with a capacity of $50
beds. This was made possible by
DR.. Paris Singer, wealthy American
who donated the building and gave
$25. 900 toward the equipment.

Two GIRLS and A MAN
BRIDE OF ELEVEN DAYS DE
CLARES CHARGE DUE TO
JEALOUSY.

Watertown, Dec. 6.-Around the
arrest here of Myron Flick, aged 20
years, on statutory charge, centers
the fight of two North Dakota girls,
former friends, for the love and af-
fection of the accused man. Mrs.
Margaret Flick, the defendants bride
of eleven days, is determined to dis
prove the allegations of Anna Quasi,
whose irate father swore out the war
rant upon which Flick is now held in
jail here.
During the past summer and fall
Flick was employed in and around
Cogswell, n. D., where he paid much
attention to Miss Quasi, only Is years
old, and also to Margaret Wurtmann,
now his wife, to whom he was mar
ried in Watertown, after hasty de-
parture from Cogswell. AS soon as
Miss Quasi found out Flick and Miss
Murtmann had gone away together,
she enlisted the aid of her parents.
The three Quasts set out to follow
Flick, but before they could locate
him and arrive on the scene he was
married.
Mrs. Flick declares the charges
against her husband are false, and
the result of jealousy.
