ard Ehmke, Detroit pitcher.
All of which calls to mind one How.
ard Ehmke, eDtroit pitcher
Ehmke, in the early days of the
spring, when prophecy counted more
than figures and when last years fig
ures were all there was to go on
looked like one of the veriest rose
buds of the season, player who had
it in him to win some 30 or % games
and pull the Tigers out of the hole
poor pitching had put them in since
the palmy days of George Mullin and
Wild Bill Donovan
This Ehmke figured as an iron

curves and a change of pace which
kept the batters off their balance.
Hughie Jennings counted on him to
fill the hole in the Detroit outfit
which games were sitting through,
preventing Hughie from floating a
pennant over Navin park
Let us see how Ehmke PANIED out.
The last records show Ehmke has
lost eight and won seven games, with
an earned run average of three per
game
But what the records don't show
is that Ehmke has lost the great ma
jority of his games in the last two
or three innings, indicating that he
is seven-inning pitcher.
Box scores show that Ehmke has
allowed but ! so runs in the first sew
en- innings of the games he has pitch
ed and has permitted nine runs per
| nine inning game on the basis of his
last two innings.

courts. Either a soft ball., without
resiliency or bag filled with pebbles
or beans is used.
Regular racquet frames are used
strung with cord forming pocket in
side, somewhat resembling a lacrosse
club.
The ball is tossed out of the rae
quet with swinging motion, the OBJ
ject being to keep it off the ground.
If the ball is dropped it counts a fault
against the player or side dropping u,
the counting being the, same as in
tennis. .r
The game is said to have become
very popular among tennis players
barred from their regular sport by
local conditions. .-, =. #

WOMEN TORTURED.
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because of

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the
terrible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
tCorns ca neasily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store quarter of nounce of a
drug called freezone. This is suffii-

Platform Adopted by
American Defense Society
Eight Planks Designed as Construct
i've Program to Win the War.

New York, October 31.-A platform
of eight planks designed as con-
structive program for the prosecution
of the war to a definite victory has
bee adopted by the American Defense
Society, it was announced today and
will be submitted for discussion and
approval to the chambers of commerce
throughout the country and to the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States at Washington. The purpose
of the committee of the American De-
fense Society which drew up the pro-
gram is announced to be to solidify
the nation in the prosecution of the
war. The proposals, advocated by the
Society in its war platform are:
That the administration at Wash
ington be urged to send AN uverwhel-
ming force to France.
To intern alien enemies and enemy
sympathizers whose conduct imperils
or impedes the war
TO warn Germany that departures
by her from the rules of war will not
be endured.
To forbid the publication of news
papers and magazines in the German
language during the war.
That Congress be asked at it's next
session to declare that a state of war
exists with Austria, Bulgaria, and
Turkey ito expel any disloyal mem
bers and to enact law prohibiting
the issuance of new securities except
by Federal license.
1t is recommended to various au-
Ithepisissa--shas-+Aa2s forbid the. conn
pulsory study of German in the pub
lie schools.
In its preamble to the platform,
the American Defense Society asserts
that it is "gratified at various steps
taken by the administration, Congress
and throughout the nation on matters
bearing on the war against Germany
and the nation solidified to that end,
war be prosecuted to definite victory,
and her allies, and desiring that the
urges the foregoing steps.
The Secretary's statement adds:
Great Britain, with population of
about 5O,OO0,O00, and France, with a
population of some 40,00O,O0O have all
ready contributed approximately S.
100000 and 100000 men, respective
ly, and have borne the burden of the
struggle for more than three years. If
America should send over even TO-
100000 from its population of over
1OO,OO0,0OO it would not, in our judg-
ment, be doing more than an equivo-
lent share. For America to send an

overwhelming force should also hasten
lessness of her cause and materially
shorten the war. The more men we
send the fewer will be slain.
"The examples that Germany has
given of the course which the doc
trine of military necessity has i'm
PEELED her to follow surely justify
warning that departures by her from
the rules of warfare will not be en-
dured, and if given we may look for
an adhering on her part to civilized
warfare. AS it will protect our forces
in the field and our people both at
home and on the high seas, is it not
better to warn now than to be COM
PEELED to act later?"
In advocating that Congress de-
clare that state of war exists with
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, the
statement says: austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey have been practically alb
sorbed for all warlike purposes by
Germany. Their active cooperation in
war with Germany demands, we believe
such action on our part against them.
Many Austrians have been active in
plots against the United States. There
is not alone improperly but also
peril in the continuation of Bulgaria's
embassy. 1t is intolerable that Ameri-
ca should not assume the fullest
championship Of the unhappy Arme-
mans against the butchers of their de-
fenseless people"
In requesting that Congress expel
any disloyal members, the society
asks: "Why send the nations youth
to the battlefelds, and at the same
time permit any man to set, from the
vantage point of high position, back
fires which will bring death to in
creasing thousands of our men by
weakening support from behind. the
lines and by strengthening the enemy
