Another indication of the growth of sport in this country is found in the manner i'll which the seasons overlap. Within a, month the first football games of 1915 will be under way with the pennant races in the major leagues still several weeks from completion. By the time the last contest of the Worlds Series has been settled the gridiron teams of the larger universities will be facing op- ponents who secretly cherish the idea that they are about to upset all football traditions by racing through and around the big fellows lines for double figure scores.

 Ty Cobb may be the greatest bat ter in the whole world, as stated, but there's so much of the whole world where baseball is unknown that such a manner of describing Tvs great ness is like saying that a. Venetian. gondolier 4is the greatest Grand Ca nal boatman in the whole world.

AUSTR|ANS DENY
PEREMYSL HORRORS

The Austro- Hungarian embassy today
issued a statement differing with as
sertions made in an article written by
Misko Memcinevitch in Sundays Times
relative to the conclusion Of officers
during the siege OF Peremysl. The
statement follows:
Tn regard to the article which ap-
peared in The Washington Times yes
terday written by Misko Memcine-
witch, who alleges that during the long
siege Of the fortress of Peremysl Aus
trian staff officers lived in luxury
while the common soldiers were starv-
ing that dead human bodies were de-
voured by the hungry population and
so forth, the Austro- Hungarian emb8s-
sy desires to call attention to an official
dispatch received on April l6 from
Vienna:
This dispatch quotes from the report
Of t~i Danish newspaper, Berlingske
Tidendc. whose correspondent has been
In Peremysl before and after the sur
render. and who emphatically charac-
terizes as infamous lies assertions
spread broadcast on the press similar
to those in Mr.. Memincvitch's article.
AS the report of the Danish corre-
spondent must be considered as unpreju-
diced, it only serves to corroborate the
previous reports which have been re-
ceived telling of the brave defense made
by the Austrian forces and of their ad-
mirable behavior under the most trying
circumstances
