some persons that this amount of gravel

ported Under Misappre-
hension.

WASHINGTON. July 9-Senators
New and Watson of Indiana voted Sat
urday in favor of the continuance of
he manufacture of beer and wines and
against the further manufacture OF
whisky. That was the effect of their
votes in favor of the amendment OF
Senator Robinson of Arkansas. The
House has decreed that beer and wine
must go. as well as whisky. The Rob-
inson amendment permits the continued
manufacture of beer and wine.
The Indiana senators voted for the
Cummins amendment prohibiting the
withdrawal of distilled spirits in bond
during the period of the war but like
ether senators We're convinced it should
rot be adopted. on hearing from bust
ness men over the country that it would
raean financial ruin to many concerns
holding distillers' certificates.

COLUMBUS, Ga April 5.-lf the
Pittsburg club is TO break into the first
division this year the pitchers must
come through with the same high
class brand OF pitching which marked
their work last year and Manager Jim
Callahan must strengthen his infeld
by 80 per cent. over what It has shown
up to this time.
Pitsburg should have one OF the
best pitching STATS in the league
There is Cooper one Of the best pitch

good ball last year as did Jacobs and
there Is no reason why they should
not repeat. Mamaux may or may not
be one of the sensations of the league
this year.
MamauX is young-not yet 22-and
he is likely to allow his youth to get
away with him.
Mamaux has no really bad habits
but he has temper and a temperament
which he has never tried hard to
control and he has rather weak
stomach which is not materially
helped by the practice he has OF eat
ing heavy lunches at night.
If he will control his temper and his
appetite Mamaux will show the Ma
tional League something this year. If
he doesn't he is likely to lose as many
games as he wins.

youngsters in Carlson and Grimes.

York.
The infeld is Callahan's great prob
lem. Warren Adams probably will be
