KELLY OF GIANTS IS HANDICAPPED BY BEING
 BILL LANGES NEPHEW

New York, Aug. '22.-It's sometimes hard to live down a name or relation ship, and the chances are that George L. Kelly, the San Francisco boy who is now with the New York Giants, is sorry he ever had such an. uncle as Bill Lange, one. of the greatest out feiders who ever stepped on a ball aeld.
 Now, don't get this wrong. Kelly is as proud as proud can be of Uncle William: but, you know. when you're the nephew of one of the old stars of the game you are more apt to be in the public eye, while there is lot more expected of you.
 No matter where Kelly would hap pen to be, somebody would point him out with the Illuminating remark i: That's Bill LAnge's nephew. Bill, you remember. was one of the greatest out fielders that ever lived"
 Young Kelly was a Polytechnic High School boy, a matter of three years ago, and, of course, played baseball. He was captain and manager, and though he played shortstop regularly, he could fill almost any position, His first professional job was with the Spokane Northwestern League Club in 1914, and he was with the team that Mike Lynch managed at the Boyes Springs training camp. Spokane turn ed Kelly over to Victoria and it. was during the 1915 season that he was purchased from Victoria by MeGraw.

GERMAN CATHOLICS
 ATTACK PRESIDENT

The German Catholic Central Ve- rein and the German Catholic State
 Federation of New York placed them selves on record yesterday at the Park Avenue Hotel, against the Eu- ropean and Mexican policies of the Wilson administration.
 The Central Verein adopted the report of Joseph Frey, president, crit icising the government as "non-neu- tral and pro-British" and described the Mexican policy as "swaying." It unanimously indorsed MT. Frey's part in the meeting of the German American National Alliance in Chi cago last May. The Alliance met just before the Republican and Progress i've conventions and adopted resolu- tions p1edging the members not to vote for any candidate who had op- posed the Alliance.
 MT. Frey said he had been criticised ! for taking part in the meeting of the Alliance, but had done so by advice
 of leading Catholics in this city. Calls Disloyalty Charges Unjust. MT. Frey's pro-German declara- tions were warmly applauded, but his references to alleged atrocities against
 Catholics in Mexico because of the attitude of the government were re- ceived in silence.
 The most pointed attack against the administration came from Charles
 Korz, president of the State Fedora l ton, in his report to that body, which was unanimously adopted. He said:
 While we most deeply regret that the hand of God rests so heavily upon mankind, we cannot deny to ourselves pleasure and satisfaction at the suc- cess of the Germanic people. Deep trust in Gods justice, a glowing pa- triotism and a high enthusiasm for the ideal good of mankind make it impossible that they can ever be con- quered.

THE PITCHING
 C0vEiESKlES

It was just three years ago today that Harry Coveleskie was sold to Detroit by Chattanooga, and thus broke into the big leagues for his first long stay. The big Pole had been up there before, but he didn't stick. The Phillies had several chances at him, and the Giants and the Reds couldn't see him. Now he is one of the best hurlers in the trade, and a bulwark of strength to the Tigers, while his younger brother. Stanley, has been do- ing fine work in the box for the In- dians. Some baseball family, the Coveleslxies. And there are a couple more q them, 1t is said, who will soon be ripe for major league plucking.
 Harry, the elder brother of the tribe, got his first chance with the Phillies in 1907, but Manager Murray soon sent him back to the bushes. In 1908 Murray looked him over again, and then loaned him to Lancaster, recall ihg him at the tclose of the season. In 1908 Harry spent the season with the Phillies, winning six games and losing ten. In 1910, after the Giants and other clubs had passed him up, the Reds decided to take a chance, but in May he was released to Birmingham. In 1911 he went to Chattanooga. but he didn't make much of a showing un- til 1913, when, up to the time he was sold to Detroit, he won twenty-eight games to nine lost. He did almost as well with the Striped Cats winning twenty-one and losing thirteen in 1914, and running up twenty three vic tories, against thirteen defeats, last year.
 Coveleskie is native of Shamokin. Pa. and is graduate of the coal mines.

Americans of German ancestry is nc evidence that they love their own country any less and only malevolence and g. one-sided perception of actual conditions can declare that our sym pathy for the Germans is an act ot d1sloyalty to our own country. We and unwarranted.
 The American citizenship of Ger man descent has done relatively more to the development of our country than the Anglo-Saxon, and never yet did German influence endanger the continuance of our Union.
 Says Allies Are Favored.
 For this reason we cannot recon cile the attitude of our National gov ernment toward real neutrality ir dealing with ths warning nations, and we are of the opinion that the ia. voritism shown to the allied nations has heightened and embittered the war
 "As against all this, the world muy1 acknowledge the real exertions ts bring about peace by Gods represen- tative on earth, our Glorious Holy Father Benedict XIV, and even though atheistic and anti-Catholic forces vii not heed his words, the world has rec. ,ognized that there must be an im-- partial tribunal standing above al mankind. independent of all poten- tates. which can freely and unhinder- ed render judgment in the quarrels between nations.
 Hence it is important to strive fol the independence of the Holy See, an6 we express the hope that that will be one of the fruits of this world war"
 The Central Verein attended high mass at the Church of St. John the Baptist, conducted by the Very Rev Father Antonius, o. M. Cap, and as- sembled at the hotel at o'clock Most of the speakers spoke in Ger. man.
 Cardinal O'Connell of Boston, who attended unexpectedly, congratulated the verein on it's organization, which he said was the 1odel for Catholic bodies.
