MAeNATEs READY TO
FIGHT PLAYERS
Major League Club Owners Will Work
In Harmony.

Organized baseball is planning tc
fight the players fraternity to a finish
if President Fultz and his supporters
carry out their scheme to prevent the
players from reporting in time to take
the southern trip.
The magnates Of the two major
leagues will formulate their own plans
Independent Of the minor leagues, but
both will work in absolute harmony
for the protection OF their interests.
No offensive action will be taken, but
the battle lines will be drawn
closely and every precaution taken to
settle the differences with the players
tor all time.
The first important steps toward
protecting these interests against a
players strike or holdout will be taken
today in New York, when the schedule
committees of the town major leagues
meet to discuss playing dates. The
threatened strike is sure to be dis
cussed freely and later in the week
there will be a more important con-
ference held at Dover Hall, Ga, where
the schedule committees, the rules
committees and the members of the
National Commission will assemble.
President Tener of the National
League, and President Johnson of the
American League are members of the
schedule committees of their re-
most assured that Garry Hermann
chairman of the National Commission
will make the southern trip. There
is game preserve at Dover Hall in
which a number of baseball magnates
are interested and several of the
major league club owners will be there
this week.

lar at the very start. 1t took this
youngster some time last campaign
to convince the manager that he was
worthy hurler.
But what gives the South Side fol-
lowing its strongest feeling of hope
is the presence of Kid Gleason, the
peppery lieutenant manager, who
Dwas with the team for only portion
of last year. The Kid was released
when Rowland came as manager, but
a hurry call was sent for him during
the stress of the last pennant hunt,
and he came back to inject some
fight into the combination. This sea-
son the Kid will start off with his
joIying and brOw-beating and he
should get results.
The players have had the benefit
of a years experience playing with
each other, they have become better
acquainted with Rowland, and. that
should be another factor in increas-
ing the efficiency Of the whole.
The White Sox got away for Min
eral Wells with a hurrah last night.
The only false note was in the alb
sence of Ed Walsh, the former great
pitcher This is the first time in many
years that Cd has not been a promi-
nent figure on the trip. He will prob
ably manage a minor league club
during the coming season.

trying during the first days Of the
training camp, but Perry is showing
them.
Phil Douglass is another pitcher
who wants to stick and he is show
ing unusually good work for this
early in the season. Williams, Flack,

PLAY BASEBALL
Thrilling (?) Game Ends in
Tie. Humorous From Start to
Finish.

One of the biggest, as well as the
most humorous games of ball played
since the Spanish American War was
staged Saturday afternoon on the First
Pennsylvania Cavalry ball ground
when the officers of the first squadron,
crossed bats with the officers of the
second squadron, and when the game
was finished. or rather, when the play
ers had to cease, the score was a tie.
Both teams had runs in their favor
and to win the title, three more in
nings will have to be played to dis
tinguish the winner for the game broke
up at the ending of the sixth.
In the first inning the officers of the
second squadron were first to bat and
the first three men up landed safely
on first, in fact, very player on the
team had a chance to hit the ball in
the first inning, but only three runs
were scored. Captain Roberts, Lieuts
Dickson and Goheen each scored run
in the first. When the first squadron
came to bat, they did not go very far
in the scoring line, not a run being
scored During the second and third
innings neither team had a man cross
home plate. Lieut., Chambers had the
misfortune of being hit in the mouth
in the third inning, being hit on a wild
throw.
In the fourth inning things were
made interesting. Roberts and Go
heen scored another run before their
side retired, making the score 5 to 0.
in favor of the second squadron. The
officers of the First thought it was
then time to start and they did. Glib
bons was the first man up and landed
safe on first, stole second and third and
landed home scoring the first run.
Myers and DeHaven were thrown out
at first. Gribbel singled, stole second
and third, and on a single of West,
scored the second run. McAulty was
next UP and he hit the real hit of the
game for three bases, scoring Good and

Funny Angles of Game.
(By A. n. MarviIl,. Physical Director
at BuiIdina No. 78.l

Worlds series baseball now being in
vogue, the officers of the First Penn
sylvania Cavalry attempted to demon
strate how the great national pastime
should not be played. A large crowd
was present including three ladies, Y.
M. C. A. Secretary Keitkamp and High
Private Vanderslice, of Troop A. The
cheering began in the first in1ing when
the umpire was hit with q piched ball;
ebut the playing did not begin until the
seventh. The game ended in a tie at
apiece in the sixth frame. In the
second stanza, a bugier almost ended
the game by blowing mess call. The
bugler is now working on the wood
pile.
The game started in the first inning
when Pitcher Whitley" Meade, after
a careful but awe inspiring wind-up,
heaved the pin over the Y. M. G. A.
Building. Afetr the first two batters
had reached the base safely Horner
stepped tothe plate. Whitley decided
to work him carefully so he put on full
speed. Horner did not see the ball;
neither did the catcher. A couple of
fellows from Tenth Infantry brought
back the ball on Sunday. Horner walk
ed Then with the bases full Dick
son drew pass but the umpire called
him out, not having any place to put
him. Before the side was out four big
runs were across the plate. However,
the First Squadron came from behind
and tied it up before the game ended.
The contest scintillated with star
plays and players. Catcher Dithrich
was the stellar light of the afternoon.
He watched every baIl-watched them
go past. He managed to stop two
with his stomach. Captain Harris
struck out man after man only to see
them race around the sacks. He was
encouraged by the support in right
field No one hit any in that direction.
Lieut.. DeHaven was also bright star.
He made brilliant stop in the second
session and thre " the ball to first base,
knocking two limbs off tree in the
next lot. The Eddie Collins OF the
game was Mike Gibbons at second.
Mike caught one-once--and then sat
on the base He played comfortable
game all through
feature which brought the crowd
to it's feet was the steal of second ana
third Dy Lieut. Gribbel. With the
fourth strike on McAnulty, he sprang
from the hassock with the speed OF
deer. Half way to the second sack ne
tripped AMI fell but his outstretched
hand hit the bag. His steal or thifo
was even more spectacular, lie tooh
only one stride when Dickson trlpped
him and again he fell, but being trlIle

Don't Misuse the Flag

Those tattered American flags that
are floating over some buildings in
Barre ought to be taken down. 1t is
not a reflection of patriotism to per-
nit flags to remain in place when
they are grimed with exposure to
the weather and when they are
ripped into mere shreds by che action
of the wind and, moreover, it does
not give a good impression of the
city for the visitor to gaze upon
these worn out emblems. 1t would
be far better to take these flags
down, now that they are no longer
recognized as our beautiful Stars
and Stripes.-Barre Times.

Extracts from Diaries of Ger

The 94-page booklet German War
Practices" published by the Commi ttee

ton to extracts from German war diaries,
among them being the following:
"A shell burst near the Eleventh Com
pany, and wounded seven men, three
very severely. At o'clock we were
ordered by the officer in command
of the regiment to shoot all the male
inhabitants Of Nomeny, because the po-
pulation was foolishly attempting to
stay the advance Of the German troops
by force of arms. We broke into the
house, and seized all who resisted, in
order to execute them according to mar
til law. The houses which had not
been already destroyed by the French
artillery and our own were set on fire by
us, so that nearly the whole town was
reduced to ashes. 1t is q terrible sight
when helpless women and children
utterly destitute, are herded together,
and driven into France ( Fromthe diary

Keep Your Liberty Bond

The man who subscribes for a Gov

if he Immediately sells that bond on

to a bond that helps the
Government; it is by actually lending
money to the Government and not by
merely promising it and shifting the load,
to some one else that the citizen really
helps in this great time.
There is no desire, however, on the
part of the Government to prevent or to
interfere with the freedom Of legitimate
trading in Government bonds-that is

Broadcast Vision Needed

The churches of Burlington do not
find it necessary to make any radi-
cal moves because of the coal short
age. This may be because Burling-
ton is more fortunately situated than
most Vermont places in respect to
coal, and the Messenger believes it
is. But in this matter is there not an
obligation of one community to an
other? Can one city properly keep
the drafts wide open while neigh
bors are suffering? Or is this all a
local question, with the devil taking
the hindermost? 70 The Messen-
ger it seems that if coal can be
made available for St. Johnsbury,
for instance, by reasonable conserva-
ton in Burlington, then Burlington
should put itself out little. The
Messenger is using Burlington only
as an example, not in criticism, for
it believes the Queen city would do
it's share in helping others if the
necessity arose. We are all in the
same boat now and it is no time to
look at things from the narrow To-
cal angle when our vision should be
