DAVIS SWiPED FIRST
Peculiar Stunt, Pulling to Many,
Actually Pulled Off.
Players and Fans Amazed When Cap
tain Started From Second to First
Nothing to Stop Player Run
ming Backward.

Harry Davis, the famous old star Of
lhe Athletics, and IN his time one Of
she best first basement In the business,
was born in Philadelphia forty-thres
years ago. The veteran has many
claims to remembrance, one of which
Is that he is the only man who ever
stole first. That peculiar Incident has
puzzled many fans, but it was actually
pulled off. It was in the old days
when Dave Fultz, now president Of
the Baseball Players fraternity, vas
playing in the outer garden for the
Mack bunch. In this particular con-
test Davis was perched on first and
Fultz was on third. Harry stole sec
ond in the hope that the throw would
give Fultz a chance to race home. The
pellet was sent to the catcher in time
to head off Fultz, who barely managed
to get back to third, but Davis made
second. Captain Harry wanted that
run, and he was bound to have it. so
when the next ball was pitched he
chased back to first, stealing that bag
70 the amazement of players and fans.
Of course a big howl went up. but the
umpire could find nothing in the rules
10 prohibit a player from running
backward if he wanted to. Having
swiped the initial bag. Harry then
took another opportunity to try to
steal second, and while the throw was
made in an endeavor to head him off
Fultz chased home with the coveted
run.
Davis commenced his big-league ca

was signed by the Giants, having pre-
viously played with Providence and
Pawtucket. New York soon turned
him over to Pittsburgh. where he re-
manned until 1898. After short ex.
perience with Louisville, Davis quit
the game and went TO work for a rail-
way company. When Connie Mack
invaded Philadelphia in 1901 ne called
Davis from his retirement and made
him captain and first baseman of the
Athletics. He remained with Connie
until 1912, when he had brief expe-
rience as pilot of the Cleveland club,
but soon returned to the Athletics.

litary preparedness help peace any, thing. British naval preparedness spelled it's entry into the world war, and 1t is beyond any national ques- tion that their very preparedness was in truth and fact the reason of the war.
 A huge military system in any country is menace to freedom. Madison pointed out that long ago. The British wise in rebellion against their sovereign shrewdly made standing army illegal unless confirmed annually by parliament.
 The nation that has to stand sup ported by bayonets is bound to ruin. It is the one positive lesson in all history. The decline and fall of an- cient Rome cannot be concealed as commencing when it's mighty le- gions began conquering and sub duing the world. First of all they subdued Rome, and then the world subdued them in turn.
 The struggle of every nation has been against militariGm and against the acceptance of the doctrine that might is right.
 Everything that the nation owes to itself and to others is owing not by reason of military prowess but upon the conscientious acceptance of the right of every man to lifo lib r. ty and the pursuit of happiness. It is against this right th2t the pre- rarationists, now strike The worker is no longer to be freeman, but the automatic and dependent cog in vast military organization. There is to be no personal initiative, no personal liberty, no independence of action, no freedom of thought, speech or decd. They will have to lave all their independence curtaile1 in order that they may in peace as in war effectively function as units of vast social scheme of prepared ness!
 The widest dreams of the capi- talist collcctiviGt who advocated the supremacy o. the state refccting the power of the economically suprem 3, could not conceive any such despe- rate ctate of affairs Gs these men now imagine.
 Nothing would place so much power in employers hands. Nothing would remove so completely the last remnant of individual freedom that the industrial system, enslaving though it be today, still admits of.
 And that'c where these mil;tarisr leaders are driving. They know very well that as financially ard po- litically independent, they would be in positions not of subordination but of command. They should worry. But 1t is for the workers to fully realize the facts of the case as they must face them sooner or later.

HUGHES V. WILSON.

It is quite worthy of Charles E.. Hughes that his first act should have been to attack the foreign po- Hey of resident Wilson. It Is quite within the realm of political, espe- cially republican political fiction that the greatest attention should be served to the foreign policy. As a matter of fact the politicians these days are playing hard to keep this foreign business before the peo- lpe to the complete eclipse Of everything else.
 It is an extraordinary thing that the domestic policies which might be expected to excite deeper interest are quite neglected.
 Yet that is 8 fact, and what we have seen of the activities of this very session of Congress shows that the foreign and not the domestic policies are to be the political is. sues.
 In that capitalist politicians are quite safe. Just as long as they can keep the people guessing as to peace or war, just as long as mat ters of treaties and tariffs and the like are the sole bones of conten- ton, the people are quite likely to forget all about home affairs and concern themselves with matters oi lar less moment.

The only important foreign policy

The only important foreign policy just now is to keep out of war. That is all. The maintenance of the neutrality of the United States is the sole means whereby that can be done. And that so far has been done as fairly well as it could be done by Wilson, despite the vast exciting causes for war which mu- nitionists and other insane profiteers have tried.
 Hughes has his own notions of what the foreign policy of the na- tion should have been, but had 1t been any other than it was as far as peace or war is concerned, where would Hughes get an endor- sement?
 The unfortunate fact about the trouble in Europe has been to make every person concentrate attention upon it. It is true that following war orders great profits have been made that would not otherwise have been made; it is true that an in- dustrial boom is now in full swing in the east in consequence of the stimulation given the export trade and the practical monopolizaztion of the markets by the United States because of it's being a neutral na- tion. In consequence little or no interest is excited to the actual la bor conditions throughout the coun- try and the serious effect that the continued soaring costs of living are having upon it.
 Instead there is manifested an im- patience with the men who strik., because of the fact that to make ends meet they must have an in creased wages. Strikes disturb pro- fit-makiEg
 Most of the country is just now studying the war in it's relation to the political situation, and j: is an astounding thing that even the ma jority of the workers should be IT. ore concerned whether or not this or that candidate was likely to be pro-Gernan or pro-Ally, than whether or not he was likely Ey a policy liberal or reactionary to hasten the economic evolution which so intimately involve; the workers as a class.
 It is an astonishing state Of things when even in the political world we discover matters concern ing other nationalities should be re- ceiy.ng more attention than the possible effect of the Hughes ascendancy in politics would have upon the people.
 Nothing could more closely re- veal the oEsessing effect of the war upon aJl classes in this country and upon none has it such an ob- sessing effect, characteristically enough, than upon the wor iers.

INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS.

The latest form of preparedness is the promotion of industrial pre- paerdness'' It is pointed out that while millions of men may be re- quired at the front and 'in the trenches" for every million so en- ployed, there must be three million organized in the shops, factories and fields to keep them supplied with the sinews of war, and that this organization is no less essential than the military organization of the troops
 The workers who will keep tho armies and navy on the battle line, must be subjected to a semi-m;litary organization and government discip- line so that the industrial machine ry may work fittingly for the men at the front and for that reason no scheme of national preparedness is complete which does not also aim to take in the workers, divide them into units for purposes of control and direct their movements during peace so that the country can effi- ciently face war.
 In other words, the preparation ists, most of whom are ardent anti militarists in their professional, talk, would provide for the United States of America a scheme of mili- tarism alongside of which the worst possible form of Prussian militarism would be freedom and liberty itself
 There is no getting away from this. It is not a sudden call to arms to resist invasion. It is dell- berately organizing the country along militarist lines so that such a thing as individual and social li- berty will be of the past.
 Take the extension or such a sy- stem to any industry and consider what it would obviopcly mean. The men are to be subjected to form
 
 control of some bureaucracy in Washington. If they attempt to strike or .C demand better condi. tions oI quit when they feel lEe t, it is not hard to understand that such a militarist discipline could be promptly invoked to curb their in- dependent action.
 This is no far fetched dream. In the postal service it is an accomp- lished fact Quite recently prison terms were served postal employees for resigning without permission. That took place in West Virginia, but under the auspices of the feder- al government in anno dominl 1915.
 Involuntary servitude would have been made an accomplished fact under another and of course quite constitutional name.
 When this war started, every pa per in the country echoing the cries from across the Atlantic, traced II to the militarism of Germany. "Prussian militarism', they said | threatened the freedom of the | world. It was denounced in all the moods and lenses, and now we dis cover that the nations of the world, the United States not excluded, deems the best way of combating militarism which menaces freedom, to abolish freedom and to out-mili- tarist the most militarist of the Prussians.
 The irony. of the Gods never chilled the heart with blacker poison.
 If there is any one patent, glar- ing, unmistabable, unquestioned, un. doubted fact concerning the prepar- edness of the nations ot Europe it is that their prepar- edness did not prevent war. Ger tainly Germany's gigantic military did not, nor did Rus sia's reorganization of its army system, nor Frances more than mi- I
