DELL, BROOKLYN PITCHER, Is
STAR PINCH HITTER
BY Mark Shields

Here's something Manager Tinker
didn't know about Pitcher Wheeler
Dell of the Dodgers when he ordered
Claude Hendrix to pass the Brook
lyn catcher, fill the bases and take a
chance on Dell making the third out.
Dell made ten hits last year. Eight
Of them scored runs. Twice this year
the catcher has been Intentionally
passed with men on bases so the op-
posing finger could get a chance at
Dell Each time the latter has driven
out hit. That is a record any slug
ger in the game could be proud of.
Cushion throwing has, again be-
come epidemic on the North Side
and the officials of the club are PLAN
ming immediate action to put a stop
to this dangerous practice. The mis-
sile tossing occurred in the ninth in
ming when the Umpires and the Cub
players put on an argument and UNI
pire Quigley was twice hit.
Umpires may be considered fair
game They have no defenders, but
some Of these flying cushions may hit
a cash customer, and cash customers
are not any to plentiful in these par
lOus times. Once before there was
a carnival of cushion tossing on the
North Side. This was early in the
season and two or three people were
seriously hurt
Pres. Weeghman and his associates
properly took immediate steps to halt
this practice and were given the sup
port of all the sportsmanlike fans.
They can be relied on to stop the
present seat throwing.
Just when things were beginning
to brighten up for the White SOx
rain butted in and clouded up the
schedule, facing the South Siders
with three double-headers in as many
days. This is a top-heavy assign
ment, especially as the last two dou-
BILE bills are against Washington.

By President Wilson.

Long Branch, N. jim a vigorous
denunciation of the republican party
President Wilson Saturday told a
delegation of young democrats from
New York that "the certain prospect
of republican success in November
is that 1--WE shall be drawn in one
form or another into the embodiment
of European war;" and that "the
force of the United States will be
used to produce in Mexico the kind
of law and order which some invest
ors in Mexico consider most to their
advantage"
Cheered by Young Men.
The president made his first out
and out political speech Of the cam
paign from the porch of Shadow
Lawn. Urged on by the enthusiasts
tic cheers and waving banners OF
several thousand young men, he as
sailed the republican party and laid
down the issues on which he believes
the campaign should be fought
Most of the presidents address
was devoted to criticisms of the re
publican party and to outlining his
own plans. A bid was made by the
president for the votes Of progress
ives. He praised the progressive par
ty as having "the real red blood Of
human sympathy in it's veins" and
declared the democratic party had
done the things the progressivef
wanted done.

GERMAN SUBSEA
WARFARE UP AGAIN
READY TO ACT IF
ANY AMERICANS ARE PUT
IN PERIL.
NO VIOLATION YET REPORTED
Feeling Against U. S. Not Shown In
Recent Actlons-Three Hundred
Merchant Ships Sunk Since
June First.

Washington.-Incr agitation
in Germany for complete resump-
ton of submarine warfare, Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-H ollweg's declara
ton before the reichstag that any
statesman failing to use Germany's
every weapon to shorten the war
deserved to be hanged" and the
recent apparently inspired simulta-
neous publication In German papers
of attacks on American neutrality,
brought forth an authoritative, though
informal, statement from the state
department of the American govern
ment's attitude toward the situation.
No Agreement Violation.
Any action which endangers Amer
lean lives through the sinking of
ships without warning or by falling
to provide proper safeguards, it was
emphatically asserted, will immedi-
ately reopen the submarine question
with all it's possibilities. But so far
in spite of what is going on in Ger
many, there has been absolutely no
indication In the official advices that
Germany has violated the agreement
arrived at in the Sussex case, Re-
ports of the sinking of nearly 800
merchant ships since June 1 have
been received officially but in no
case has 1t been proved that Amer
lean lives were END fingered.
High officials think 1t unnecessary
to make any formal statement on the
subject, as they feel the American
position is fully known both at home
and abroad. However, the possibili-
ties which change of Germanys pol
icy might open are so great that
every effort will be made to have
a full understanding on all sides.
German Intent Assured.
All dispatches received here by
diplomats friendly to the Teutonic
allies are described as clearly indi-
eating that Germany intends fully to
live up to her assurances. 1t is ac-
knowledged that there Is consider
able opposition in Germany to this
policy.
The chancellor's latest speech Is
not interpreted in American official
quarters as foreshadowing his con-
version to ruthless submarine activ-

Some Periodicals
Give False Idea

While everybody is talking about
the high cost of living, there is one
party upon whom the blame of it all
falls. That is the so-called middle
man.
And when the middleman is men,
toned, by common consent the grocer
and butcher are singled out as the
chief cause of SO many peoples trou-
BILE in making both ends meet.
All this upon the assumption that
the grocer and butcher are the only
middlemen that touch the pocketbooks
of the people.
Why don't they look for the middle
man of the daily newspaper the mag
azine and periodical? What does he
do to the dear people?
First of all, he raises cry of "stop
thief" at the retailer, in order to keep
the eye of the dear people off his part
in the game.
But all the same, he gathers the
pennies, nickles, dimes and dollars
from the people who read, and the big
checks from the advertisers.
He makes the rent of the people
higher because he gets big money
from that other middleman, the real
estate man, for advertising the houses
and lots for sale or rent, and in pro-
noting real estate deals and specula
tions.
He gets rake-off on dry goods,
millinery, shoes, clothing, furniture
and other things that go into the
homes of the people, because he car
ries page and half-page and quarter
pags ads for these people to read and
pay for.
He lays levy on the peoples break
fast food, their tea, coffee, flour, soaps,
and great variety of necessities and
luxuries, to the extent of percentage
much heavier than taxes or rent.
He does most of this through the
retailer, not of groceries alone, but
the retail dealer in rents, real estate,
dry goods, clothing, shoes, furniture,
fuel, light, drugs, automobiles, amuse-
ments, and every other form of retail
supply. =
These considerations are not made
with the view of making the impress
sion that the profits of the newspapers
and magazines are illegitimate. These
means of public intelligence are doing
a splendid service, excepting when
they berate the retail dealer In gro
ceries and provisions, and are entitled,
to the pay they receive. We desire
merely to insist that the present-day
cost of living, as a problem, should be
studied from the broad standpoint of
actual facts, and in so doing cite the
place the newspapers and periodicals
hold in the system Of distribution in
order that fair view may be bad Of
the part of the so-called middleman
plays in the other lines in making up
the sum total Of the high cost Of liv-
ing.

NOTABLE SPEECHES SATURDAY
By Roosevelt.

Battle Creek, Mich-President Will
sons administration was assailed by
Theodore Roosevelt in an address
which he made here Saturday on be-
half of the candidacy Of Charles E.
Hughes. He referred to President
Wilson as man of words" and to
the republican presidential candidate
as man of Deeds"
Speaking to the thousands of peo-
pie packed into a circus tent, Col.
Roosevelt charged that President Will
son sacrificed the national honor of
the United States" because he feared
to pay the price of upholding it.
Roosevelt characterized President
Wilson's European and Mexican pol
icies as "cowardly" and as follow
ing the lines of lease resistance"
Colonel Roosevelt spoke at length
on the Mexican situation. He criti-
cized President Wilson for refusing
to recognize Huerta and for recog.
nizing the Carranza government.
Every argument against Huerta ap-
piled with ten-fold more truth and
weight against Carranza," he said.
II have been asked what l would
have done if had been president
when the Lusitania was torpedoed,"
shouted the speaker. 81 would in
stantly have taken possession Of ev-
cry German ship interned in this
country and then l would have said,
Now, we will discuss not what we
will give but what we will give back.
This utterance received wild ap.
plause.
When he began his attack on the
Adamson bill Colonel Roosevelt de-
clared that an increase Of wages and
not the eight-hour day was the real
issue.
"Let President Wilson apply this
sacred eight-hour day law to the
servants in the White House and see
how far he will get" said Roosevelt
"I believe in the eight-hour day as
the general rule toward which we
must strive, but recognize that spe.
cial needs must be met in special
industries and that in all such cases
there must be a very careful con
sideration Of all the conditions before
final action is taken"
Roosevelt declared that fear and
hope of political profit caused Pres
ident Wilson to force the passage OF
the Adamson eight-hour day bill.
president Wilson yielded to the
dictation Of the heads of the broth
erhoods, and made no effort to find
out whether the demand was right OF
wrong" he added. "He took his or.
ders from that one of the parties
interested which he most feared. The
question at issue was not one Of the
hours of labor. 1t was one of wages
The settlement was due partly to fear
and partly to hope of political prof.
it."
Roosevelt's closing words were q
plea for Hughes election. II appeal
to my fellow citizens that they elect
Mr.. Hughes and repudiate Mr.. Will
son because only by SO doing can
they save America from the faint Of
gross selfishness"
