New York, Feb. 12.-Allotments
OF prospective Giants and YANKEES
will be on their way to the spring
training camps within the next two
weeks. Both Manager McGraw ana
Manager Donovan have rounded up
a number of young players, ana all
will get thorough testing BEFORE
the weeding-out process at the end
Of the training season. This array OF
talent has been collected by baseball
scouts from leagues in sail corners OF
the country.
One of the most promising addi-
tons which the Giants have acquired
is Jim Middleton. the Louisville
pitcher. Middleton was a big factor
in the winning of the American AS
ISOLATION pennant by Bill Clymer's
Louisville Colonies last season He
had a great record and with his wide
experience should be valuable adj
dition to the Giants pitching staff.
Much Is also expected of Waite Hoyt.
the Brooklyn schoolboy pitcher.
Wittcr Is Good Man.
In Leo Witter, McGraw thinks he
has landed good, hard hitting out
fielder. He was with the Newark
club In the International league last
season. and was one of the best out
gardeners on the Barrow circuit.

SHELL SHOCK IN BATTLE.
A Curious Fact That Only Unwoundee
Men Suffer From II.

BY the methods of modern war no
inconsiderable proportion of battlefield
casualties are due to shell shOck-a
new terror of battle and one that was
unknown before the advent of later
day high explosives.
1t is a curious fact that only .un-
wounded men suffer from shell shock
Eminent surgeons say that wound
neutralizcs the psychic sensein plain
English that nerves do not affect q
wounded man in the same way as al
unwOunded one.
For shell shock is nothing more or
less than nervous breakdoWn-a ter
rihly intensive breakdown that rEysi-
clans lind most difficult to cure. 1t is
entirely Il mental cause, and though ii
is called shell shock il has very littl,
to Go with shells.
There are men, brave men, too. whf
find tie strain of war too great for
their mental stamina. They see terri
BILE sights and hear terrihle>things. and
these react upon them tcmperamentally
and physically. Gradually, PERHAPS un
consciously, their ability to resist is
overborne. Their mental power is OK
hausted. They become afraid-dread

only matter of time.

HIS LOVE FOR HIS DEAD.
He Made Il . Power to GLADDEN. Some
Of the Needy Living.

A little old man came into the Office
of the Chicago Charities the other day
and laid down $50. Ito help out some
needy families" Then he told them 3
story:
Years ago, when all of my folks
were living. | couldn't afford to give
presents. Things are different now
but most of my folks have gone. l
went shopping, just as If my folks
were alive. picked out shawl for
an aunt Of mine. She's dead and so
l didn't buy it. but l put down the
amount of money would have spent
Then | went and got some> things for
my dead brother and for my father
and mother and for a few old friends
of mine. didn't really get them. you
know. but / priced the things thought
they would like. When | added up ali
the money I would have spent it came
to almost $50, SO I added little to it.
and here it U.s."
Has any one heard of a finer. more
beautiful way of showing man $
love for his dead? The things lie had
wanted to do it was too late to do now.
He might, it is true. have spent money
on stone to make more artificial and
melancholy the quiet hillside where
Ibis folks" rest. He found "a better
way to spend his affection, to remem-
Der in fancy those he could no longer
reach and then to see that his loving
memory of them went to make others
happier He made his love for his
dead a power to gladden. the living.
He laid tribute on grief and made it a
blessing 1t is not sad story. We
need not pity him. But we cannot help
loving him.-Alilwaukee Journal.
