BERLIN, via London. Dec. 12.-Ger-

sarding the deportation of. Belsians Ia
confined almost exclusively to a presen-
tatlon Of the situation in Belgium before
the deportation order became effective.
The note asserts tina there was urgent
need Of some kind Of work for the Bel

ported workers are assured Of well be-

The reply volunteers to permit Amer

that the United States has never seen

The note says the measure has been
carried out without severity and with all
possible consideration. Mistakes. 1t as

been due in part to the fact that Bel

Pittsburgh, Penn. May 13-The Giants made 3, clean sweep in PLUS burgh by defeating the Pirates for the fourth time in succession, the nnaI ngures being 3 to g. They displayed the sp11nk that is In them by coming from the rear and taking the game in the tenth inning
 It was sound hitting at the proper time that gave them the victory Christy AIathewsons the old master, began the game on the pitchers rup- ber for the Giants. It Is safe guess tors expected the ancient hero to come through successfully. But all gave him a willing hand just the same -as they used to do in the pitcher paInay days-when he strode to the centre of the diam ond.
 He certainly gave them surprise. Matty seemed to be his old self. In five innings only two hits were made off him and only two Pirates reach ed second base. not one going a foot bevond In the sixth inning proba- bIy the most reliable fielder in the Giant bunch failed in his usually strong support and opened the bars to the Pirates for two runs. Manaux was the first Pittsburgh batter in that inning, and he sent a groveiing erounder to Fletcher, who fumbled the ball outrageousiy. Before he IT. naIIy secured it Mamaux was on hrst base. Nevertheless, Fletcher thought Iessly flung the ball to first base and. over Merkle's head. This second err TOT enabled Mamaux to reach sec ond base. Carey forced him at third.
 Johnston met Matty's delivery right on the nose and sent the ball force fully to the outfeId for three bases, Carey, of coarse. coming home. Cos tello hit for a single, and Johnston scored. These two were the only really clean hits made off Matty. Carey's hit in the first inning shot through Doyle. and Gibson's in the third went through Matty himself.

Ted Lewis Confident of Defeating Gibbons
 in Next Weeks s Bout

New York, May 13-WhateVer anybody else may think about it, Jimmy Johnston and his Welter- weight Ted ('Kid") Lewis. have not the slightest fear as to the outcome of the latter's bout with Mike G1b- bons at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday night.
 Lewis will win sure." declared Jimmy last night. ''I know that sounds like the usual bull, but l tell you that there will be many a sur prised spectator in that crowd on the night of the fight. Lewis himself urged me to get this match for him. I'll admit that when he first preached the subject [ was bit skeptica1 my self but after we had talked it over at length he swayed me to his way or thinking He is convinced that he can master the so-caIed St. Paul wonder and I am just as positive as he.''
 How do you figure it?" Jimmy was asked.
 well, here's my dope.'' he replied. 'sFor one thing Lewis is much gamer than Gibbons. He can take a punch better. You may have noticed in all of Mikes bouts here that the men who made the best showing against him were boxers who were not afraid to carry the fight to him. He is at his best when he has the other fellow fighting on the defensive. Lewis will do the forcing in this match Also Lewis can take a punch better than Gibbons. When Gibbons is hit he founders, and he is going to be hit many a time by Lewis. My boy is just as clever as Gibbons, too. If anything, he is faster and more skill full. According to the way figure it the only advantage Gibbons will hold will be in the weights.
 "I expect Lewis to enter the ring at either 146 or 147 pounds. Of course he is not making strenuous efforts to reduce. He is putting on weight fast The extra poundage isn't fat, useless tissue, either. He is only 21 years old, you know, and the increase is a natural one. Within another year he will be a legitimate mtddleweight.
 "As he grows heavier his punching power is increasing, He has the rep utation of being just a fast, shifty boxer, but he is a knocker out as we'll. Although you probably don't know it, 50 per cent. of all his fights were won with knockouts. The weight he is now taking on is all around his chest and shoulders.
 That recent bout of his with Jack Britton at New Orleans should be dis regarded in figuring his bout with Gibbons. won't say that Britton didn't beat Lewis. Lewis just tossed that fight away. He went into the ring and tried desperately to knock out Morgan's man. and he was out boxed. when Lewis did box with Britton instead of fighting with him he made him look foolish.
 t'I don't suppose that I can con vince many people that Gibbons is just the type of boxer that should be easy for Lewis, but since you asked for my opinoon, that is it.''

Phillies Should Stop
 Batting Umpires And
 Attend to Their Jobs

Let us hope the PhiIIies turn over a new leaf and do not enter the class of the Boston Braves, who naede them selves the most unpopular champions in the history of the game through their riding of opposing players and rowdyisn in general, says a, writer in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. The latter is something which Manager Moran will not tolerate. but ju 1ging by reports from three cities in Which the Phillies have, played and from a few fa.rs who sit behind the Philly bench at home, the new champions are becoming as proficient at riding as the Braves were last year.
 No one planes Eddie Burns and Manager Moran for being put off the field in Boston. as it is a. rare occur renee for Philly player to be put out of the game. But they should not lose sight of the fact that one of the main reasons why they won the pen- nant last year was that they paid strict attention to business and kept away from the umpires, while several of the Braves spent a great deal of time on the bench owing to suspen- sions.
 After the 1Pnillies had been beaten by the Braves in Boston several of Moran's men are said to have de- elared that Umpire RigIer was de- liberately throwing it into them" be- cause he wanted to see Brooklyn win the pennant, as Rig1er was in the en- ploy of the Dodgers at Daytona re- building the ball park this spring Such a thing is ridiculous. and we hope that Boston scribes who claim the Plfls made remarks of this na- ture are stretching the point.
 Rigler is one of the fairest and most competent umpires in the game and his integrity has never been ques- tioned. When ball players start mak- ing charges of this sort they are ques- tioning the honesty of the game, and should be made to prove their charges or publicly apologfze. It i'll becomes member of the Phi1ly team to make any such charge, for 1t permits a sscon eback'' that is confusing. Don't the Phillies recall how. when RigIer acted scout for their club, they re- sented4 instructions then that he fa,- vored them in his decisions?
