Munitions of Modern Warfare.

All the great battles have been won
or lost through munition and gun su-
periority or inferiority. All the ar
mics in Europe have shown equal
courage and tenacity The range of
the guns, however. Is almost incredi-
BILE, being In some instances twenty
five miles. The shells used can each
destroy a full company OF men. The
great battles are being fought largely
with artillery and in this branch of
military equipment the United States
IL weakest.
Brigadier General william Crozier.
Chief OF Ordnance of the United
States army, when he appeared before
the military affairs committee OF the
Senate last January. said that this
Government either had built or had
under construction 225 batteries OF
four guns each-that is to say. 1000
guns. The heaviest OF these 10 g.
inch howitzer, which fires a proJectile
of 120 pounds each. with q range Of
about 1900 yards. He was asked by
Senator du Pont. OF Delaware. who
fought in the War Between the States,
how this heaviest gun in the United
States army compared with the AZ
gun of the German army
The power of the proJectile. as mea-
svred by its weight, was very much
less, he said. The 42-centimeter gun,
which is the one most used in Eu-
rope. fires a projectile weighing be-
tween 1900 and $500 pounds. The
United States Government however.
IL contemplating a new model of this
6-inch howttSer. newer than in any
,of the European armies today. except
perhaps in the Italian army, and 1t 10
expected to have a greater range than
the 42-centimeter howitxer OF which
this Government kas definite informa-
ton.
The American Government has In
hand q sufficient number Of guns of
large calibre to supply an army of
about 400. 900 men. The ammunition
and guns already in possession Of the
Government would hardly last through
ono battle like those at Verdun. The
greatest asset of the United States so
far ~ preparedness 10 concerned Is to
be found in the numerous munition
and gun factories which have grown
UP to supply the needs Of Europe.

FOR 1917
Matty Expects to Have Real
Team Next Year.
ssBig Six" Already Is Rounding
Up New Material.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Aug 31.-Christy Math-
ewson, peering out Of the gloom of the
Fener cellar, sees before him bright
and prosperous days for himself and
his Rhineland athletes in 1917.
The new leader of the Reds. real
izing that it is an almost hopeless
task this season to try to lift his club
up to more ethereal heights. Is direct
ing his energies now to building for
the season that is to come. Matty is
trying out now all the highly touted
youngsters that have come up to him
from the bushes. During the balance
of the year he will continue his ex-
periments.
And in this way I hope to get a
line on all the material 1 have before
the 1917 spring training begins" said
big Six recently. THE usual plan
of waiting until springtime to try out
the major portion of the newcomers
doesn't appeal to me. l want to know
before we go south just what each man
on the roster can-and cannot-do.
Then the spring season can be devoted
to perfecting team play"
Nucleus for Great Team.
Mathewson right now has the
nucleus for a grand baseball machine.
Here and there few cogs are missing
but the veteran slabman hopes to find
them among the raw material that is
via the purchase and draft route.
The 1916 Red outfield probably
will hold over to 1917 unless some
phenom is uncovered. Griffith. Neale
and Roush all are youngsters, and
each is coming along with faster
Roush is getting now is just what is
needed to transform him into an out
fielding star of the first water. The
same thing is true of Neale, the re-
cent "bush" graduate, who has flashed
some pretty work all year. Griffith is
a real ball player: fine thrower, an
unerring fielder and a normal 800
sticker.
Listed among the rookie" candi-
dates for the 1917 Redland outfield
is Curto, a Cuban. who has been hit
ting around 400 for the Portsmouth
Va. club True that club is listed
among the remote minors and it isn't
any real trick to hit at such a clip
there. But here's something for re-

both occasions. clubbing for two

Marsans and Gonzales. the big league
satellites.
Must Find Infielders.
Mathewson's biggest task will be to
find two real infielders. In Gron he
has one of the grandest third basers
in the game. while at first he pos
sesses the still peerless Hal Chase. But
a short stopper and second baseman
of real worth must be shared from
among the group of rockies" because
neither McKetchner nor Londen seem
to have sufficient kick"
Matty is browsing around for a
young. hard hitting backstop to act
as understndy to Ivy Wingo and Tom
Clarke. If he lands him he won't
need to worry further about the catch
ing department
I'm hopeful-very much so
about 1917" declares Matty. IF I can
plug up two or three of our present
weak spots=weI lust watch u.s."
