MATHEWSON HAS B|G J0b 0N
 HAND
(By United Press)


 CINCINNATI, March IA. = Base ball bugs hereabouts believe the des- tiny of the Reds, as far as 1917 is con cerned, is in the keeping of Christy Mathewson and Hal Chase.
 Matty has a bunch of youthful pit chers to work with this season. If he can develop a star of two from among Lefty Gerner, Jim Ring, Mike Began, Roy Sanders and Hod Eller, all sHared from the bushes last fall, Red pros- poets of a first division berth won't be so bad, as Fred Toney, Pete Schnei- der and Clarence Mitchell, who appear due for big years, are counted on to carry most of the burden.
 The old master of the pitching hill will devote the most of his time at the training camp to teaching his pitch CTS the secrets that made him the most famous of big league pitchers. Matty worked on Pete Schneider last fall and made a big improvement in his work. Elmer Knetzer, who still is with the team, likewise showed i'm provement
 Chase will have charge of the bat ting end of the camp. Hal only led the league last year, so he is pretty we'll qualified to give instructions on how to hit the elusive pill. Chase likewise will drill the vets and rock ies on base running and perhaps show them few things about fielding.
 A great fielding and throwing out field is sure to wear the Red this year. Eddy Rousch, Tom Griffith and Neale can go and get 'em as far as any three in the majors.
 None set the world afire at bat last year, so Chase will take them in tow, while Manuel Cueto, Cuban slugger, lifted from the Virginia league, will try to beat one of them out of his job.
 The team is certain to be strong at two infield positions, first and third or first and second, it being uncer- tain right now whether Heinie Groh will play third or second. Bill Me Kechnie, Dave Shean, Billy Louden Larry Kopf, Tommy Romanch are candidates for the other two jobs, and all Rockville bugs can hope is that they will fiji lthe bill.
 The catching staff does not look extra promising so far. Ivy, Wingo and Tom Clarke both had poor sea sons last year. Emil Huhn was sick most of the summer, but showed pro mise at the tail end. Huhn has an ex cellent chance of becoming one of the first string backstops this year. Fifth or sixth place seems to be | the best the Reds can hope for. There is no silly pennant talk being stirred up here, as the team doesn't look as good as the one Buck Herzog took south last spring. However, Herzog's tactics as manager failed to get the results the team was capable of, and if the Reds don't have anything else this year except harmony they art pretty sure to have that, and harmony never kept team down In the race.

DECISION D0OMS B0X|NG IN
 NEW YORK

(By c. H. Hamilton, United Press)
 NEW YORK, March 15. - Any idea any one might have had that boxing wasn't on it's last legs and tottering unsteadily to it's corner for the final round should be thoroughly dissipat- ed by Governor Whitman's action in New York, when he refused to permit Les Darcy to appear in public bouts.
 Whether it will seep into other states and knock the game clear out the ring is something else and re- mains for time to tell. Whitman was severely criticised in many quarters when he took his stand against Darcy, while in other spots he was highly commended.
 Critics declared he should not have shown discrimination against Darcy, pointing out that Freddie Welsh, Tom Cowler, Ted Lewis and others are al lowed to box without interference. They are just as much at fault as is Darcy, for they are Englishmen, whereas Darcy is an Australian, and of Irish descent. Whitmans action seems to have been taken because Darcy had neglected his duty to come to America and get some easy money. The spectacle of a foreigner coming here and separating New Workers from their cash because they were easy marks evidently didn't appeal to the governor. The other English box CTS already were in this country when war was declared. Darcy made a frightful mistake when he refused to talk business with Mike Gibbons and promoters from the middle west. Then when he listened to bad advice and separated himself from Tim O'Sullivan he made another bad step. Each of these actions caused adverse comment and the people began to kick. Cover nor Whitman's attention naturally was called to what was going on. He couldn't have helped seeing it if he read the newspapers. Darcy wasn't complimented by any means in the things said about him. If Governor Whitman got the wrong impression it's his own fault. The money grub bers among the boxers are fast chok- ing the wind out of the goose that lays the golden egg. It wouldn't be at all surprising if every boxing law in the country was wiped off the books with in two or three years.

HOW SOAP WORKS.
K Cleans Because 1t Emulsifies the Oil
 That Holds the Dirt.

K Cleans Because It EmuIsifies the Oil
 That Holds the Dirt.
 Why does soap take out the dirt? The answer to this question has been argued many times by cheLSSts, and as cleanliness is necessary and enor- nous quantities of soap have to be used it is well that we should know how soap does it's work.
 It is fat or oil that especially makes things dirty. If only we can melt or get rid of the oil on hands or clothes we soon can make them clean, and the real use of soap is that 1t dlsposes of oil. It does this in at least two ways. Most soaps have in them a great deal of alkali. This alkali dissOlves the oil.
 But soap takes the dirt from things in another way, as we know when we use soaps that have no alkali in them at all. It has the power of breaking up oil into a number of tiny little drops, with all the dirt that the oil has col lected.
 A collection of tiny drops of oil held in some other fluid is called an emul- sion. Water alone will not form an emulsion of any oil, because oil and water will not mix. That Is the reason why we cannot get clean with water alone. But when water has soap dis solved in it 1t is able to make an emul- sion of the oil on anything we are washing and so make 1t clean.-Ex- ChaDrp

BREAK OF RELATIONS
DOESN'T MEAN WAR
Is AN ACT OF PROTEST CHRoN.
lcLED AS "MEAsuRE SHORT
OF WAR;"
Rights Of Germans In United States
and of Americans In Germany
Practically Unaffected by
Diplomatic Break.

Washington.-Bre off diplo-
matte relations with Germany does
not mean war, but easily may lead
to war. 1t is an act Of protest char
acterized in the usage of nations as
a measure short of war"
The danger that war may follow Is
accumulated by the diplomatic history
of the world Modern times show
no instance of diplomatic break be-
tween two first-class powers that has
not been followed by hostilities.
The rights of Germans in the United
States and of Americans In Germany
are practically unaffected by the sew
erance OF diplomatic relations. No
treaties are terminated or suspended,
unless either government decides to
renounce them. which, under inter
national practice, generally calls for
notice of one year.
German consuls in the United
States and American consuls in Ger
many holding their places by virtue
OF treaties continue to perform their
usual functions, but they no longer
work under the supervision of diplo-
matte officers.
There is no change In commercial
relations. already badly crippled by
the war. Individuals and corpora
tons may continue their usual af-
fairs, provided they do not deal in
contraband. and their obligations are
as binding as ever. The courts still
remain open to them for redress, but
they have no facility for direct inter
vention OF their diplomatic officials.
They may, however, be represented
by the diplomats of the friendly pow
ers to care for the interests of the
respective governments.
There should be no sequestration
or confiscation of private property
either In the United States or Ger
many, although it may be taken for
use under certain circumstances. The
ninety-five or more German merchant
ships tied up in American ports since
the beginning of the war may be used
by the Uvlted States, hut the German
owners ultimately must be compen'
| stated.
Mails will continue to move under
the Geneva convention and other ex.
listing special conventions. There has
been no restrictions upon the free
movement of travellers between the
two countries other than the fixed
policy of the United States to issue
no passports to visit the war zone un
less they have pressing business
there.

NEUTRAL SHIPPING
IS HELD IN PORT
TRAFFIC BETWEEN ENGLAND

Americans Now In England Hasten

ShipoWners Expect to Con-

London.-The whole of Europe, neu.
trail and belligerent, is anxiously
awaiting the action of the United
States on Germany's note announcing
her new submarine policy. Mean
while large proportion of neutral
shipping is being held in port, re-
called
Traffic between England and Hol-
land and England and the Scandinav-
ian countries, so far as it is carried
by neutral vessels, is held up. This
is as serious for the neutrals as for
England, as the smaller countries de
pend upon Great Britain for many
things, particularly for coal.
Liverpool ship owners expressed
the view that the new declaration of
the submarine warfare will not affect
transatlantic traffic, but the number
of Americans who contemplated re-
turning home during the next few
weeks have fastened their bookings
The Holland-America and the Nor
wegian-Atlantic liners are the only
ones whose voyages have been can
celed or postponed.
Thus far the results of the new pol
icy have not been reflected in the
losses of ships recorded by Lloyds
shipping agency, Fridays list being
about the same average size as for
some weeks past.
