Konetchy's Come Back

Birthday congratulations are due to- day to Ed Konetchy, who has appar- entIy pulled a comeback with the Pittsburgh Rebels. The Big Train was a great disappointment to the Smoky City fans last season. With the Cards in 1918 Ed led the National League first basemen in fielding, and was a strong and consistent batter. With the Pirates he continued strong in the fielding department. but his swatting average fell to. .249, and he often bat ted like a veritab1e dub. The smoky atmosphere of Pittsburgh seemingly didn't agree with him, but this year he has recovered his batting eye and stais stick work has been a big factor in keeping the Rebels up in the fore front of the Federal League race. As an outlaw" Konetchy has been dis playing more ginger and winning spirit than he did as a Pirate, and Manager Oakes has found the Big Train his mainstay and right hand man. Big Ed'' has now become a favorite with the Pittsburgh fans. which he was far from being while a
 member of the piraticaI crew in the National League.

SEVERAL CHANGES .IN THE GAME LAWS

Several changes have been made in the game laws which would be advis- able for local sportsmen to study.

 The season on snipe or plover is the same as last year and small snipe and sandpipers are also protected by fed eral laws. The rabbit law has been amended as follows:
 No person shall take more than five wild hares or rabbits in one day." and the wodcock laws reads: NO person shall have in his possession or kill in one day more than five pheasants, five Hungarian cartridges or five wood cock. No person shall kill or take more than 36 pheasants Hungarian partridge, or woodcock in any year,

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s66-James J. Corbett born at San Francisco. ''Gent1ernan" Jim will be- gin his 50th year today, and yet to the old-timers of the sporting world it seems but a little while ago that we were calling him a, youngster and laughing at his audacity in daring to face the mighty and unconquerable John. L.. Sullivan. After we had all chortIed in gIee at the temerity, of the young bank clerk, what did he do but pull a watchfuI waiting stunt and send the Old Roman to the discard? Moth in aJ-taII but that very thing, all though he had entered the ring with the odds 5-to-1 against him. Although it has been long time since Corbett won his immortal victory at New Or leans he still has a. large following. Jim is still going strong on the stage, and the magic of his name was suff1- cient to attract a big crowd of New York fans when his latest "discov- cry Tom Cpwler, fought" Gunboat Smith.

QUININE

The first European to make use of what is now called quinine was the Condesa de Chinchon, wife of the then viceroyA of Peru, who, on this date in 1888, wrote a letter telling of her mar vicious cure from malaria by taking an Indian draught eparedl from the bark of certain tree growing in Peru In the course of time this Indian remedy came into wide use among the white inhabitants of South America. and it was named chincona, in honor of the lady who was the first white person to test it's merits. Qui- nine, now so largely used and which is one of the very few natural specifies ever discovered for disease, is the most important alkalofd of the true chin coma bark. It was first obtained by Gomez, of Lisbon, in 1911, but it did not come into general use until 1S2o when PeI1etier, a French chemist, ex- tracted from the bark of the chincona three the calisaya or quinine which is now so familiar. The South Ameri- can republic of Bolivia is the center of the chincona industry, and that coun- try also supplies large quantities of cocaine, arnica, belladonna, absinthe, canphor, valerian, ipecaque, gentfan, sarsaparflla and other. medicinal plants in common use.

SIGNOR BlARZILAI

War makes strange bedfe11ows. In England it has brought political enc mics together in one cabinet family; in France irreconci1able socialists. who declared they would never take part in a "capitalist,' government though the heavens fell, are now rep resented by their leader in the war ministry; and in Italy Signor Sa1vas- tore Barzi1ai has become a cabinet officer. Until Italy entered the war, sSignor Barzilai was the leader of the Italian republicans, the determined and powerful enemy of royalty in general and the house of Savoy in particular. Last July he accepted a place in the Sa1andra cabinet and was Cordially greeted by King Cictor Elm ma5uel, and monarch and republican chief fraternized quite as if they had always been in perfect accord It was tacitly understood by both, how ever, that this alliance was for the duration of the war only, and that when the conflict is over Barzi1ai will be found fighting as valiantly as ever for the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic in Italy. Signor 4Barziah is 55 years old and is native of Trieste, which Italy now seeks to recover from Aus tria, In his youth the republican leader spent many months in jail, to which he was consigned by the Aus trian rulers of Trieste because of his participation in an Italia Irrendenta'' movement He left his native city supon his release, and settled in Italy, graduating in law from the University of Bologna, He then went to Rome, where he was for some time employ ed on the editorial staff of one of the leading papers. Devoted as he is to the republican cause, even dearer to his heart is the redemption of that part of Italy still held by Austria, and he has entered whoIeheartedIy into the war.

FRENCH EMBARGO ON WINES GETS
 NO CREDIT HERE

New York, Sept 1-Importers of French wines were surprised and in credulous yesterday when they learn ed of a report from England that the French government has prohibited the further exportation of wine. A despatch from London said that no notice of such an embargo had been given to English wine dealers and that they learned of it only through the stoppage of shipments on August 25. If such an order became effective on that date importers here. they said, would hardly have had time to receive notice, but they doubted any
 such change in the policy of the French government.
 'I can't imagine why they should want to prohibit the exportation of wines," said Henri Mouquin, one of the biggest light wine importers. Our information is that they have plenty for themselves, and it would curtail the revenues of France to a very ap- preciabIe extent if this business was suppressed. Since the beginning of the war we have been getting all the wine we wanted. Our wines come from the southern part of France. a section far removed from the war area and our understanding is that the conflict had not interfered with the wine business there.''
 Mr. Mouquin said that he hoped no
 
 some expectations were forbidden it would be found that the best part of the American trade would not be in- terfered with. At MT. Mouquin's re- quest the French consul here wired for information to the French anbas- sador at Washington, but no reply was received last night. Advices mailed from Bordeaux on August l and received here yesterday by MT. Mouquin gave no intimation of an em-
 bargo to be declared.
 Edward MeineI, vice president ot the Monopole Champagne Importa- ton Co.,, said he had heard nothing of the prohibition of expectations. He said that champagne importations
 had been greatly curtai1ed, but this was because Rheims, which is in the heart of the vineyards, has been con- stantIy under fire, making it difficult to get the wine out. In his opinion the war operations around Rheims have not damaged the vineyards or the great underground wine cellars but the constant movement of troops and munitions has made it difficult l to get transportation for champagne or any other merchandise. He said that exportations to this country were
 accomplished only at heavy cost. An officer of the Paul Ruinart Champagne Co.,, said that no cham
 pagne importations had been made since the first or the year, so that Il l the reported prohibition applied to l champagne it would make no materia, difference.
 At the office of the Pommer5
 Champagne Agency it was said that no word of an embargo had been re- ceived The information there was that light wines were plentiful in France and the reason for prohibi- ton of exportations was not under stood.
 fOn the other hand, merchant who
 deals largely in domestic wines, said that he had heard that c1aret was be- ling exported from this country tc
 France, both domestic claret and some that had been imported from
 France before the war. He said this
 might indicate that the French supply was running low.

 AT LEGISLATIVE OUTING

New Haven, Sept. 1.-The reunion of the Legislative Club of 1915 is being held at Monnauguin on the east shore to-day. By the time dinner was to be served in the early aftr- noon it was expected that 250 mem bers would be present. The early ar rivals who had planned to take a dip in the Sound shivered at the pros pect as the wind was brisk and cool, and overcoats and caps were found to be more suitable for the occasion than white ducks, Panamas and sport shirts.
