Blues Pitching Staff Pruned Down TO
Six Men by Manager Camel.
(Ry Associated Press.l

Kansas City, April q, - Manager
CAMEL made the final cut in the pitch
ing staff of the local club of the
American Association just before the
FASTENERS started on the first circuit
swing Of the season. Six men, after
Arthur Smith and Herbert Hall had
been released to the Joplin team of
the Western league, remained to do
the Blues hurting. They are McQuil-
Ian, Mcconnell, Chalmers, Crutcher,
HUMPHREYS and Cocreham.
All of the six except Mcconnell and
Crutcher got to going well before the
Blues finished their five games at
home and Camel expects those two to
be tossing the ball regularly within a
short time. Cocreham probably will be
worked oftener this year than he was
in 1915 and HUMPHREYS and Crutcher,
Camel believes, will add more games
to the win column than they did last
season.
Both the rockies released to Joplin
probably will be back here later in the
season.

INTEREST AWAKENING In
M'LEAN COUNTY MEET
Cold, Wet Weather Has Barred Prac-
tice 60 Date-WiIi Again
Choose Underwood.

Wilton, N. D., April %. - Interest
among the various schools of Mclean
county in the fourth annual track
and field meet, which will probably be
held the first part Of June, Is begin
ming to assume active proportions.
Very little outdoor work has been
done, due to the cold, wet weather
which has prevailed during the past
few weeks, but as soon as the first
warm day appears the candidates for
athletic honors will don their toys
and begin active training.
Underwood will, in all likelihood. be
again chosen for the meet, being CEN
trally located and having the best ia
cilities for track and field meet.
Wilton scholastics won the honors
the first two years, and Washburn
was the winner last year, with Wilton
in second place.

The Winnipeg St. Paul Dog Race.
Our Dumb Animals: This country
ought to be civilized enough to pre-
vent the cruelties involved in animal
races OF every kind. II the humane So
cieties in the various states through
which such races are run cannot pre-
vent them, the state officials should
have enough pressure brought to bear
upon them to act in the matter: AZ
this distance we are only able to judge
conditions from newspaper reports,
according to one of which "Hartmann's
dogs were badly punished. For the
last 200 miles his dogs were almost
exhausted, and in order to keep them
going he piled his rawhide, black
snake whip. The last two days ne
used his whip more sparingly, as the
dogs were so nearly exhausted that
more whipping was practically USE
less
Many people of Minnesota feel this
affair was disgrace to their car
niyal. and are purposing to use all
their influence another year to prevent
such an occurrence. We trust every
humane society in the country Will
co operate with them.
This is a species OF sport tnat
might have pleased our savage ances-
tors, but has no place in the tWentietn
century.

SANCTION DEAL
Claim on Player Elored
Turned Down BY Commission.
(By Associated Press.)

Cincinnati, o., April 27.-The sale
of Player Elored by the Chicago
American league club to the Newark
team was given official sanction by
the national baseball commission here
yesterday, when it dismissed the claim
of the Milwaukee club to the players
services.
The Milwaukee club contended that
the player was returned to the Seattle
club, and that Seattle enterd into an
agreement to sell him to Milwaukee
upon delivery by Chicago.
The commission ruled that the Chi
cago club retained the player and paid
for him in full, instead of returning
him to Seattle, and, therefore, it had
a perfect right to sell him to Newark.

THE ONE PRO GERMAN NEUTRAL

THE ONE PRo-GERMAN NEUTRAL
Cleveland Plain Dealer: OF all the
neutral nations in Europe Sweden
alone has consistently maintained a
prof. German attitude. Germany is the
enemy Of Russia; Russia has for GEN.
turtles been the enemy OF Sweden, and
the Swedes have long dreaded new ag-
gressions of the autocracy of Petro-
grad. The Prussian autocracy has had
no special designs on Sweden. and has
therefore been considered something
Of a bulwark to protect Sweden from
the car.
The overthrow OF the Russian des-
potism should remove from Sweden all
fear for the future. The Swedes are a
democratic people, and should not
hesitate now to bestow their sympathy
on the Russian democracy instead Of
on the heartless autocracy of Berlin.
It is true that Germany has been more
considerate Of Sweden than of any
other European neutral, but German
considerateness nowadays is scant at
the best. Many Swedish vessels have
been sunk, despite the undoubted fact
that Sweden has been earnestly en-
deavoring to assist Germany by ship
ping food and munitions across the
Baltic. The indignities and losses that
have been suffered will doubtless be
remembered, now that the great fear
of Russia has been removed. In the
by her acts, and measured by this
standard Prussianism is certain soon
to lose its last friend on earth.
