STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
BASEB4LL NOTES

Ty Cobb was asked by newspaper
man recently if he shifted his position
at bat on right and left-handed pitchers.
This was Tvs answer: II do, but | keep
shifting all the time. The batter who
locks himself in the box is easy for a
cunning pitcher to fool. Much depends
on what pitcher has as to where
stand. Sometimes crawl up on curves,
at other times | wait at the back of the
box" 1t is this sort of head work that
keeps men like Cobb at the head of the
batting average list and the lack Of it re-
suits in many likely looking youngster
being dropped from the big leagues after
a fair tryout.
Cleveland never won a championship.
Lee Foil says that he signed Clyde
Engle so that he would have a substitute
to put in place of Chick Gandil in case
the latter should throw out his knee as
he has been doing occasionally lately.

TO LAST NOTE
FROM PRESIDENT
Berlin Confidential Advices
Thus Indicate-Busy
in the Baltic

Washington, d. c., May 20.--Germany
with the United States closed has deter
mined to make no response to the last
American note upon the subject. Infor-
nation to this effect is contained in con-
| fidential advice received from Berlin.
| The American note declared that the
United States win rely upon a "scrupu-
lous execution heneeforth of the now al
tered policy of the imperial government,
such as will remove the principal danger
to any interruption of the good relations
existing between the United States and
Germany" and the United States feels
it necessary to state that it takes it for
granted that the imperial German gov
eminent does not intend to imply that
the maintenance of its newly announced
policy is any way contingent upon the
course or result OF diplomatic negotia-
tions between the government of the
United States and of any other belliger-
ent government.
1t was. indicated at the state depart
ment when the note was sent that the
United States did not feel reply was
necessary and that should one not be
forthcoming this government would con-
slider Germany has acquiesced.
With the apparent end of the suhma-
rine crisis and Germany's admonition to
her citizens in the United States to obey |
local laws, German officials feel that the |
only remaining cause of friction is the |
case of Wolf Won Igel, former secretary |
to the recalled German military attache, |
arrested in New York in connection with |
a plot to blow up the Welland canal |
Count Won Bernstorff has asked for the
return of papers taken from Won Igel,
but the request so far has been refused |
by the state department.
The ambassador had suggested to the
state department that the papers be re-
turned to him, that Won Igel be with
drawn by the German government, and
that a statement OF Won Igel's conduct
be made to the German government with
a request that he be punished in Ger
many.
1t is understood that the department
mas not looked with favor upon the plan.

Most Successfully Treated by Taking

Loss of appetite is accompanied by

organs what is absolutely necessary for

tons.

useful in the spring, Get II from your

full in the treatment of loss of appetite
and the other ailments prevalent at this
