MICKEY O'BH|EN GOES
TO HIGHER COMPANY

Mickey O'Brien. who is better
known In Baltimore. his home town.
by the nickname, Goggles" who
helped twirI the Rocky Mount team
to ne championship last year in the
VIII. mia League, gets a chance in fas-
ter company this coming season, for
O'Brien has been sold to the Mobile,
Southern Association, aggregation.
The price paid for the player has not
been made public.
o Brien got his start in professional
baseball in 1911, when Otis Stock
dale. then managing the LynChburg
team IN the Virginia circuit, brought
htrn from tho Monumental City back
lots and gave him trial as a Shoe
maker boxman. When Lynchburg
waB picked up bodily and hurled out
of the league by the directors o Brien
was q free agent, and he went TO the
Macon outfit in the South Atlantic
League. He finished the season there
and next season went from Macon to
Charleston, but In 1914 he was found
with Richmond, back in the old Vir-
ginia League. Last spring he was
given short trial by Jack Dunn. with
the Richmond Internationals. and was
then found with Ray Ryan's Down
Homers. During the season o Brien
worked In thirty-five games on the
knoll. winning nineteen and losing
twelve. He stood tenth among the
pitchers of the circuit, having a bat
ting average of .229 a fielding aver
age of .04s, and a pitching average OF
.6l2.
OBrien Is something OF utility
player. and in q number Of games last
year he was used in various positions
other than on the mound. His field
ing average for this utility work Is in
cluded in his fielding average as a
pitcher; hence. the low figure. for
generally he plays mighty strong
fielding game when working as a
pitcher. O'Brien has earned quite a
reputation as a clown on the coach
ing paths, and Last year he was ia
vorite mark for the taunts OF the fans
when the Down Homers were on the
road.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO ROB
GINTER PARK HOME

A bold attempt at robbery was
made yesterday afternoon about i
O'Clock. when a white man. represent
ing himself TO be telephone inspec-
tor. gained entrance to the home of
e. c. Kohler, $40 Seminary Avenue,
Ginter Park.
The servant was the only person in
the house at the time the man asked
to inspect the telephone. After she
had directed him to the instrument.
she went below to the cellar, and on
returning, heard the man going about
upstairs. Becoming alarmed, she
called to the parties living next door
for help. The man. hearing her cries.
made away before assistance respond
ed. and 1t was found that the man had
tied the hook of the telephone, maxi
ing It impossible to register a call,
and disconnected the receiver and
transmitter.
In the bedrooms above everything
was found in confusion. Bureaus had
been ransacked and clothing was
thrown about the rooms The thief
was evidently looking for money, for
only two small savings banks, con-
tanning small sums of cash, were
stolen.
The police last night had found no
trace of the robber. Detective Wiley
is in charge of the case.

AUSTRIAN BALKAN
ARMY IN. OURAzzO

London. Feb. 25.--The vanguard of
the Austrian Balkan army entered Du
raxzo this evening. according to an
announcement made in Vienna. The
Italian government admitted today that
the city had been evacuated by tho
garrison and that the Albanian provis-
ional government had embarked on
Italian vessels.
This victory for the TeutonIc forces
leaves the Italian flag flying at only
once place--Avlona--on the eastern
shore of the Adrlatic. 1t is apparently
the intention of italy TO abandon all
attempts to prevent the Austrians
from occupying the entire principality
OF Albania with the exception OF Az
Iona, sixty miles south OF Durazzo
where It is known that large forces
have been concentrated.
The Italian official statement telling
OF the evacuation says:
The Italian brigade at Durazzo has
been withdrawn and has embarked. the
Albanian government having left the
place. The withdrawal OF the Serbian,
Montenegrin and Albanian troops from
Albania has been completed"

ARMY BILL To PROVIDE
STATE MILITIA FUND
Enlistment On Basis of 400 Minimum
500 Maximum, for Each Congress
donal District.
WEST POINT CADETS
TO BE DOUBLED IN NUMBER
Military Schools Throughout the
Country win Have Army Officers
to Train Cadet Corpe-Other Strong
Features.

Washington. Feb. z6.-The army re-
organization bill to provide increased
land defense was agreed upon today
by the House Military Affairs Commit
tee, after session of strenuous yot-
ing. The committee included in the
bill an increase in the regular army to
$4,000 men. two thousand more than
the War Department recommendations
called for. The regular army pro-
vision also provides for a two per cent
Ieeway on enlistments, which would
allow the President to recruit the army
up to about $4,000 men.
The committee included in the bill
practically all Of the proposals incor-
porated in the original draft, framed
week ago. The liberalization OF the
militia. as originally proposed, was
adopted in toto and without opoosi-
ton. It was agreed, however, to pro-
vide for the enlistment of miIittalnen
ON the basis of a minimum of 200 and
a maximum OF 500 for each congress
sIonal district, with an additional 200
TO 500 at large I'm each State for each
United states Senator. The militia
provisions give the President authority
10 draft the militia into the Federal
service in wartime, and also gives to
the Secretary of War extensive au-
thority over the organization, train
ing and discipline of the State troops.
Provides Regular Army Officers.
Provision in the bill for additional
regular army officers, to be used as
instructors In military schools
throughout the country. was increased
by the committee. Instead OF 1856 Of
ficers for this service, the measure
will provide for 1000 officers. and
mil nj ~
discretion In detailing officers from
other duties to conduct military edu-
cation in State schools.
Double West Point Appointments.
The committee vOsed fayorably on
the proposal to double the appoint
ments to West Point and to provide
the additional accommodation at the
academy for the increased number OF
cadets.
Provision for additional material
necessary to arm and equip the aGdi-
tonal troops authorized was left opon
and will be provided in the regular
army appropriation bill which will be
taken up by the committee as soon as
the army reorganization measure is
submitted to the House.
As to Making Nitrates.
Chairman Hay, of the committee,
said that the only clause OF the meas
ure still open for confederation was
the provision for government partici-
patton in the conduct of plant for
manufacturing nitrates by the fixation
OF nitrogen in the air. He said that
the committee on Monday would hear
army officers on the details of the
proposed plant, and that while the
committee had agreed to the general
proposition the detailed plans would
be perfected after consultation with
war department officials.
The committee. Chairman Hay said,
would take a final vote on the bill as
a whole on next Wednesday, and that
the favorable report on the measure
would be framed and submitted to the
House by week from Monday.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-02-27

the principle Is involved.
The discussion with Germany VIA
proceed. therefore. over a question q
detail, and out OF this discussion an
officials believe believe settlement
will be reached.
Before there Ia any final settle
ment the United States will await the
nouncement of the Germans subna-
rine decree.
These appendices contain the evil
dences found by Germany that Brit
ism merchant ship captains have been
instructed to attack submar; es. The
United Stataes will give consideration
TO any such instructions in deciding
the question of not only the charac-
ter of guns on merchantmen, but the
uses for which they are intended.
Out OF the whole situation, espe-
cially since evidences have appeared
OF a difference of oponion among the
allies themselves, officials believe
there will come a new modus vivendi
that will safeguard the lives not only
of Americans at sea. but of all neu-
trails.
Administration leaders in the
House continued their efforts to re-
main quiet among the members who
threatened rebellion against the ad-
ministration's foreign policy.
Chairman Flood, OF the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee. visited the State De-
partment and conferred with Seore-
tary Lansing When he returned he
assured the House members that the
President had the international situa-
ton well in hand.
He added there was stro ng hope
for an early clearing of the atmos-
phere in the crisis between this cour-
try and Germany
