Great Moral Effect In France

mustered out. Tell us what you've
done in the war and what the wars
done to you to give you such a tired
feeling" The civilian gulped down the
rest of the coffee and rushed out of
the cafe without replying.
Today the cafe conversations are all
about some exploits around Verdun
and what will happen to the Germans
if they persist in their effort to take
the ancient stronghold.
There is also less discussion of the
high cost of living than two months
ago. although there has been no ap-
preciable easing of prices. This, too,
is accounted for by the heroic resist
ance of the army.

was rowed in the dead water of

timing at the Intercollegiate four mile

Much of the credit for the advance
nient of athletic interests is due to the
Y. M. c. A, which has fostered and
encouraged all forms of competition
for some years. Such interest was
taken in the early athletic games that
the Association officials felt that this
was the Lest means of reaching the
upper classes of Chinese, and in 1908
brought out instructors and establish
eG athletic headquarters at Shanghai
THE first athletic meeting was held at
Picking in 1910. One of the most in
portant meetings was held in May 1912
az Picking. In February 1913 forty
picked athletes went to aMnila and
competed with Filipinos and Japanese
assembled there for the carnival
games. This event gave rise to the
organization of the Far Eastern Ath-
letic Association. The second Far
Eastern games at Shanghai in May,
1915, were quite as successful as the
Manila meeting. The third Far East
ern games will be held at Toxic in
May, 1917, and it is for that this the
Chinese are now training.

The Sport World With Local
Color Dished Time to Time

NEW YORK, May 30 those who
have seen the Cuban young men and
boys playing baseball upon their ma
tive diamond it is not at all surprising
that some of these players should
migrate to the United States and earn
places Off themselves upon both major
and minor league teams. The Cuban
apaprently takes to baseball almost as
readily as the average boy in the states
and once he has graduated from the
novice class, can field and run the
bases with the same skill shown by
majority of those who play the game in
this "Cuntry. If he has one weakness
il is inability to make long hits. This
handicap, is overcome to some extent
by the speed with which the Cuban
player goes down to first and from base
tc base.
More of these players are scattered
through the professional leagues of the
country than is generally thought to
be the case by followers of baseball.
Few of them have reached the point of
proficiency where they are assured
permanent places on the big circuits
but number are playing fast ball in
the minor leagues and appear to be
headed for the majors. A Cuban en-
thusiast recently compiled some sta
tistics which show that sixteen of his
young countrymen are playing in the
various leagues under Organized Base
ball and twice that number with well
established and high class semi-pro-
feasional teams. There are also sew
eral other players famed for their skill
with ball and bat in Cuba, who are
ready to try-out in the states and he
gives it as his opinionu that the time
is not far distant when the Cuban
player will be factor in the makeup
OF the big league clubs.

The college baseball situation in the
South is attracting more attention
than any other sport in this section
Never before has done been quite so
overturned as it has been in the last
few days. Colleges whose teams were
thought to be impregnable have tasted
for the first time of defeat. In the
Mercer Vanderbilt series, Mercer was
considered to have an easy win in
prospect, but in the first game We'd
nesday the Tennesseeans jumped on
the aBptists and landed a victory, II
to /. In this farce, the Macon univer
sity broke all records by making thir-
teen errors. Men who starred in the
games in Americas against Auburn
We'd with each other in throwing the
ball away. Duck" Swami, who won
such praise from local papers on ac-
count of his brilliant work around
first base for Mercer, tied with the
leaders in pitching away the horsehide.
Swami in this one game contributed
three boots of the ball, and every one
of them counted heavily in the final
score.
The Mercer machine is a good one,
but there must be no more games like
that of Wednesday, if they wish to
snatch S. l. A. A. honors. The win,
ners of that coveted rag are not usual
ly players noted for ability to miss
haseballs, but on the contrary the av-
erage winner of the pennant in that
association is able to play ball with
the best professional teams in the
country. But, to return to the game.
Swami was, by no means alone in
the error-making. Right with him was
Holloway, the elongated shortstop of
the Macon Baptists. 1t will be recalled
by the fans who saw the games be-
tween Mercer and Auburn that in every
tight place the Macon team got into,
Holloway proceeded to blow up And
from reports of the games Wednesday,
he seems to have done this same
stunt. 1t was apparent when the
games were played here that the weak
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-05-05

est spot in the cellars lineup was that
same Holloway. His batting here was
very good, but he was entirely too un-
reliable as a fielder to rank with the
remainder of the Mercer players.
The old standby hurler Bloodworth
of Mercer, pitched this game, and he
pitched game far above that played
by his team mates. The score would
indicate that Bloodworth was ham
r1ered to all parts of the lot, but on
the contrary, he was fairly effective.
Eight hits were secured off his deliv-
cry, but they were not of the home-run
type. His fielding was miserable, how
ever. He was a member of the quar-
tette, that contributed twelve of the
thirteen errors chalked to MERGERS
credit.
Opposed to the miserable showing of
the above was the good work of "Wim"
Weaver, Ashby Fuss and Charlie Nor
gan. These men played excellent ball,
and if their mates had done only half
as well, the score would have been
changed materially. Fuss went in af-
ter the game was lost, but after his
entrance into the fray, the hole was
considerably plugged Ashby in his
short stay here won the hearts of the
Americas fans by his clean playing,
and the general opinion was that he
was one of the best on the Mercer
lineup. Charlie Morgan, who made
such hit with all the fairs in Ameri-
Gus, played his usual good game We'd
nesday. AS guardian in the left gar
den, Morgan made four put-outs, and
added his usual speed and hitting to
tic festivities.
The Mercer boys, however, always
come back, and it is still a good bet
that they win the rag. A radical i'm
proyement must be shown, though.

PARIS, May 5-The Battle of YER
dun appears to have had great moral
bffect in France. 1t has turned at
tention from irritating discussions
over details of the conduct of the war
nnd has cut short an incipient revival
of partisan spirit in Parliament and
in the press, which had been favored
by relative stagnation at the front. Al
so it seems to have diminished the
number of pessimists and hence in
creased French confidence in the final
outcome.
"They have shot their bolt" is fire.
quent commentary heard in places
where two months ago there were
nervous complaints as to the pro-
longation of hostilities. "They can do
no more than they have done, which is
far from enough ever to shake the
French army"
Shortly before the Germans attack
ed Verdun some radical Socialist pa
pers attacked the priests, the clerical
land the easy" class, charging them
with Sinking arduous and dangerous
missions. No priest or aristocrat, they
said, had ever been seen in a trench
They also accused them of aiding and
abetting the Germans after having
helped to bring on the war in the
hope that a disaster to France would
overthrow the Republican or Parli-
.amentary regime. They accused them
OF sending money to Germany TO sub
scribe to the German war loans. a
wineshop keeper of the Department OF
Lot VISA repeated the accusations was
prosecuted and sentenced to three
years Imprisonment and was fined L.
600 francs.
The campaign against the priests
and clericals was even taken up by
such conspicuous writer as Monsieur
Paul Adam, who made similar charges
ir the leading radical newspaper of
the South of France, the Depeche De
Toulouse, and drew upon himself a
storm of protests. The Battle of
Verdun did far more to stop the cam
paign than the conviction of the wine
shop men of the Lot and the protests
against the articles of Monsieur Paul
Adam. 1t has, perhaps, accomplished
even more than the letter of the Prem
Ter Monsieur BRAND. declaring that

Socialists who have just renewed their
declaration in favor of a war to the
bitter end, are working in harmony.
About two months ago it was pos

inconspicuously as is the way with

They were concealed from two civil

civilians. ITS time it was brought to
finish. If the generals in command

Coming Here
Thu, July 6

The s'delights Of a big circus are
always Of extraordinary interest to
the curiously inclined laiety and
probably for the reason, chiefly that
paratively limited knowledge Of the
inner workings of a travelling tented
organization.
The public knows the professional
circus man and woman almost en-
tirely as they are seen In action on
the performing or executive firing
line, so to speak, and OF their pri.
vate life-the personal SIDE of their
being, the outsider is practically a
stranger.
As a practical illustration, 1t is
worthy Of special note that the John
Robinson Shows, which are schedul'
ed to exhibit in Logan, Thursday,
July 6, carries its own tonsorial par
lor with two skilled BARRIERS and a
manicurist in attendance. and for the
accommodation Of the horses and
ponies employed in and about the
main tent, there is completely
equipped blacksmith shop with four
expert smithies.
For the edification and delight OF
the kiddies, twenty ponies draw the
footing, shriek!ng steam caliope.
All told, there is employed in the
various departments of the John Rob
inson Circus, total OF 600 people
of which forty are department heads
or bosses, as circus parlance desig
mates the executive chiefs.
In the commissary department, oil
cook tent, alone there is engaged ov
er 200 men, including chefs, waters
and bus boys. The high salaried
performers and the bosses eat separ
ately from the ordinary laboring mer
and quite naturally the former enjoy
distinctly better grade of rations'
