HOFFMAN AND DENINGER
 WITH LOCALS TOMORROW

The Bridgeport club hopes to have a strong outfit in the field against New London at NewfieId park tomor- row afternoon. Otto Deninger, the new outfielder who delivered three hits against Lynn yesterday, will Joe in the Bridgeport lineup and so will Danny Hoffman, the former major leaguer. Hoffman has been working out while the team has been on the road and expects to unload a few basehits tomorrow. Deninger is a veteran International and New Y ork State Ieaguer He is not very fast but can step up there and hit that ball. Last year he played 168 games for Syracuse. He batted 26S. He made no, hits in 116 games and stole 1 5 bases.
 New London has the strongest club in the Eastern league at present. Gene McCann has Harvey Russell, the old Bridgeport backstop, Rodriguez, the Cuban first baseman from the Giants, Weiser of the PhiI1ies, Pitcher For tune of ithe Phi1Iies and other stars. Bridgeport hopes to have ShortstoB whalen from Mobile in time for the game. Walsh or Martin will twirI for 3:30. \
 That was a: costly conversation Mar ty Welsh had with the umpire yester- day. Tossing the sparkling persiflage at $35 a spark is very expensive for a humble ball tosser like the Bridge port pitcher. He had no business picking on the umpire but it might also be said that Umpire Ramon ought to be warned against talking back to the players. An umpire, who

WASHINGTON AND BROOKLYN
 DO BETTER THAN IN 1915
Comparison of Standing Shows Improvement of
 Robinson and Griffith Squads.

New York, May 20-A number of notable changes are apparent in the playing form of the major league clubs pennant season when the records are compared with those of a year ago. This is particularly true of the bat ting averages of the teams as well as the speed on the bases. SdTne a,1- lowance must be made for the fact that the indictment weather of the present spring has been the cause of more postponed games than was the case in 1915. This feature, however, is not sufficient to account for the radical changes in the standing of a number of clubs as are shown by the accom- panying figures.
 In the National league the Brooklyn club is leading the senior association with a batting average of .26z, where as a year ago the Superbas were, sew enth with .243. Chicago, which was first twelve months ago, is at present in fifth place with .249, which is about The Cubs also show a. falling off in stolen bases for they pilfered less than a third of the number that they registered in the same period a year ago. If the figures for the present season can. be relied upon there has been consid erably less activity on the base line to date than was the case last season for the league average in stolen bases in 1915 was 34 to N21} for the first month of this years race play.
 Among the American league clubs, Washington has shown the greatest improvement. The Nationals are holding second place in team batting with .244, while a year ago they were

ONE OF BEST TRAINERS

Since retiring from the ring, Willie Lewis, formerly famous as a welter- weight and middleweight boxer, has become one of the best trainers in the business. Willie trained Frank Mo- ran for his fights with both Jack John son and Jess Willard, and if the Pitts burgher did not win it was not be- cause of his condition. Lewis will pass his thiFty-second milestone to- morrow, having ben born May 21, 1854 He was one of the pioneers who introduced boxing, in France and had established permanent home in Paris when the war broke out and upset his plans.

Cleveland, all though leading the league, is nine points below the figures which gave her fourth place at this time last spring. There is not the marked difference in the league average for stolen bases that is apparent in the National league for the records of 1915 show that the eight clubs had averaged 29 stolen bases last season to 2 for the first month of the pres ent race. For the purpose of com parison the records for the first month of both 1915 and 1916 are ap- pended:

MUCH JUNK IN EUROPE
AFTER THE WAR Is OVER

Has anyone thought of the mag
nitude of the junk business in Eu-
rope after the war? There have
been sQuibs and comic drawings
about it, but how much serious con-
sideration has il received?
Last year, in these United States
of America, $140,000,O0O was paid
for scrap iron. This is big and
wasteful country, but it cannot be
using up material at more than a
fraction of the rate prevailing in the
war zone Thousands of tons OF
iron, not to mention copper. brass
and lead, have been shot away az
each of many narrow strips Of the
battle line. The topsoil in the sal
lent of Ypres, on the line north Of
Arras, on the Somme front, and
above all at Verdun, must be so sat
urated with metal as to be a sort of
artificial ore. Surely, in the bitter
poverty which will be Europe's por-
ton when she is through with war
lords, that resource will not be for
gotten.
For that matter it may be that
Europe's workers will turn thrones
and crowns into scrap" too

by black calico masks falling to the
waist. with two narrow openings for
the eyes and surmounted by black,
broad-brimmed hats. Black gloves
and girdle and a rosary of black

With downcast eyes, what appears

man carrying a large silver crucifix,
they march quickly past, with a rev.

simply engaged in a work of mercy
the carrying of the dead to their
grave and of the injured or sick to
the hospitals. They are members
of the great Misericordia Society, a
brotherhood of pity, who give their
services to this good work and wear
their masks to hide their identity

some INSTANCES IN POINT
What Americans Might Think
In Making a Comparison
OF Candidates.
THOUGHTS IN CONCRETE FORM

Mr.. Charles e. Hughes, the Re-
publican candidate for President, is
very much disturbed because Mr.
William J. Bryan, while Secretary
of State, wrote letter to the Re-
ceiver General of Santa Domingo
asking for jobs with which to ere
ward deserving Democrats.
Should not every American hang
his head in shame that such a thing
occur in the highest department of
our Government" inquiries Mr..
Hughes.
Frankly, We think not. We have
never belonged to that school of po-
litical opinion that believed it was
a,crime for a Democrat to hold a job
under a Democratic administration;
and we know of no one who is bet
ter qualified to determine what
Democrats are deserving" than the
one who has been the object of their
loyal support in three Presidential
campaigns. Mr.. Hughes is shocked
that a deserving Democrat should
be appointed to an office. yet he
leads a party that for fifty years has
fattened at the public crib, and that
has regarded the physical possession
of the Federal patronage as the
most important asset of a national
administration.
Mr.. Hughes, who processes such a
righteous Indignation that Demo-
crat should hold Office in Santo Do
mingo under a Democratic Presi-
dent, should be- careful in making
the suggestion that Americans
"hang their heads in shame"
These same Americans might be
tempted to think of man, who
threw off the judicial robes. and left
a career on the bench, of distinc-
ton and promise, to answer the call
of the hyphenates as their choice
for President.
They might think Of candidate
who contents himself in scolding
and petty abuse of party in power
without offering single remedy
for the evils which he declares to
exist or uttering single word to
show that he has a single construc-
tive policy.
They might think of a candidate
for a great Office whose temper and
tone on the stump would become
crossroads discussion between two
cau0idates for county office.
They might think of man who
seeks election for the Presidency in
the highly elevating language that
"you couldn't expect decent pro-
tectNt@ist measure out of a Demo-
cratic Congress any more than you
could expect a revival sermon out of
a disorderly house."
They might think of the lone fg-
ure in American history and Ameri-
can politics who attacks land abuses
and denounces and decries, but has
nothing of his own to offer.
They might think of the man who
spends hours prating about the dis
