DRAFTS TANeLEFooT.

When Harry Hampstead mystined
every big Lacquer In the country by
drafting "Tanglefoot" Of Grand Rap
ids, he became the first man to put
one over on John E. Bruce. Tangls-
foot. according to Hampstead, was the
greatest hy catcher the world ever
saw. The joke originated in the Polo
Grounds. where the fence surrounding
the park bears sign reading:
Burns, New York. caught 2S7 iies in
1916. Tanglefoot, Grand Rapids,

Some fly catcher" figured Hemp

marvel and sent in a check to pay
for him. The draft was official, and
will go into the records Of the ma

Giants Sun In Fight.

However, McGrRw and his men
were in dead earnest They were
discussing ways and means of win
ming q game and keeping the Ma
tional League from looking more
bushy than IL does. OF course, they
talked about winning the series, but
what they meant was that IL they
didn't win at least one game they
wouldn't dare go home.
During the rain 1 sat down and
studied what has happened. Ny con-
elusion is that the Giants are not
beaten az yet although they are
heavily handicapped, and that the
team doesn't look half as bad as the
second game might indicate. The
team really has played good ball, and
that under trying circumstances.
The flaw In the team seems to be
that McGraw does not possess pitch
ers who can stop the White Sox.
With q pitcher holding the White
Sox they would look a close match
for the American League champions
Their inside work in attack and
their inside defensive work has been
at least equal to that of the Sox.

Fullerton Picks SOx

GIANTS PITCHERS

THINKS FULLERTON
By HUGH s. FULLERTON.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1870 far as the
dope Is concerned, yesterdays cold
and clammy precipitation had little
effect. McGrsw announced with some
boldness that Benton would pitch the
third game, which probably means he
will start Schupp.
At least Schupp is his test cold
weather pitcher, and the weather in
dications are that IL the rain stops it
will be cold. Also. there is some
doubt as to whether the rain ever
will stop.
In spite Of the rain, the day was
one Of restless activity in the camps
of the two teams. The Giants held a
protracted meeting, and what Nc

Dunk.

Washington will miss old Dunk, the
big elephant at the Zoo, put to death
yesterday as a measure of mercy to re-
lieve him from his incurable afiiction.
This great creature has been one of the
attractions at the Zoo for many years.
He was so decrepit lately, however, that
he was an object Of commiseration. He
was not an old elephant, as elephants
go, something less han fifty years of
age, but the hardships of circus life, in
which he spent his comparative youth,
had told heavily on him. Then. too, for
a long while after his arrival here he
inadequately quartered, without
chance of obtaining exercise, and before
an appropriation was secured, through
the interposition of some good hearted
woman, to build him a proper home with
q spacious yard and a bath tub he had
actually passed beyond the point of en-
joying these advantages. Dunk v
gained the popularity that ONE from
intimate association with people that is
enjoyed by some Of tho elephants in
other ZOOS. He never carried groups Of

The S~peakership.

Champ Clark deserved the honor his
party friends in the House paid him
yesterday. His three terms in the
s~peakership have shown him to be cas-
lily equal to the office, and should the
nomination for a fourth term be con
frmed by the House he will serve as
well again.
Still, as the arrangement is, Mr.. Clark
will contribute nothing to his party or
to the country but his knowledge of par
liamentary law and practice, and his fair
and just spirit in handling the gavel. He
win nave no voice in committee-making,
or in the conferences later when ON
mittee work is under examination for
approval, amendment or rejection.
And yet he is the most experienced
legislator on his side of the chamber.
He has seen a score of years there, and
in hat time participated prominently in
much important law-making. He has
seen the tariff revised three times, lived
through both C%annonism and Under
woodism, and advanced from an obscure
place to the first place among his party
associates. But in the House delibera-
tions for the coming W years he will
have less to say than any new member
taking his first lessons in practical
craftsmanship.
Experience in legislative affairs should
now be at a premium in Congress. Big
things, and many of them, are on the
cards. Turbulent and m~omentous times
are at hand. Nobody may know just
knows we are on the way. We need the
best approved pathinders to be had in
either party, in both parties. The work
of Congress has never in half a century
been so important as at present.
So that what we see is an arrangement
for utilizing Mr.. Clark's smallest pos
session-his parliamentary knowledge
and banishing his largest possession
his knowledge of all the questions press
ing for action today. Points of order
and motions to adjourn are to occupy
the man who above all others on the
democratic side is the one best qualified
to do large work himself, and to cut out
large work for others to do.
1t is a wrinkle growing out of the
hullabaloo about Cannonism-something
about which the country was greatly and
s%tudiously misinformed, and which its
opponents faithfully copied at their first
opportunity.

happy children on his back, as do the
elephants in London, where Jumbo was
SO long a favorite. New York's Zoo has
a pet elephant that is famous for its
sagacity apd docility. Dunk's was a
solitary nature. Indeed, he was turned
out of the circus business because of
his lack of adaptability. He was never a
man killer, but he had become un-
safe for close handling. However
his place may be filed, he will be
long remembered for his patience. Care
should be taken to preserve the spot on
the door through which his feed came
where the paint was long ago worn off
through constant touchings by his trunk.
The young elephant now at the Zoo may
possibly grow to a size worthy of the
great house now left vacant. but it
would be better to get a full grown ele-
plant. A zoo without a big elephant is
like a circus without a clown.

Zimmerman Explains.

Foreign Minister Zimmerman in a
reichstag speech has explained the note
sent by him to Mexico proposing, in the
event of war between the United States
and Germany, an alliance between Mex
leo and Germany, and, if possible, Japan,
on the basis of a division of American
territory among the v%ictors. He charges
the United States with Objectionable
methods in securing a copy of his mes
sage of instructions, sent through the
German ambassador here to the ambas-
sador at Mexico City, characterizing the
conduct of this government as contrast
ing with that of Germany. 1t is hardly
worth while to consider this slur. The
methods of Germany are too well Known.
TOO fully exposed in their trickery and
nervousness, to call for more than men
tion. However the United States got
possession of the Zimmerman note. it
was amply justified in doing so. Nor
IS 1t of moment that, according to Herr
Zimmerman, the United States itself
spread the word of the German plan
which otherwise would not have reached
the ears of Carranza. No one knows.
outside of the President and the State
Department, perhaps, just how the note
was obtained, but it is not to be be-
sieved for a moment that only through
American publication, which was of i'm
mediate value in disclosing the full ex-
tent of German t%reachery, the scheme of
the Berlin government to align Mexico
on its side in case Of wal with the United
States became known to Mexico. If this
were true German secret service process
es are much less efficient than they have
been proclaimed to be.
The point of chief Importance in the
zimmerman acknowledgment is that
according to his view it was perfectly
justifiable for Germany to undertake to
arrange an alliance with Mexico and
Japan while both countries were at peace
with the United States. He does SO on
the ground that this country, upon
breaking off diplomatic relations with
Germany, tried to induce all other neu-
trails to do the He reasons that
If the United States had the right to do
this Germany had the right in advance
of war to seek an alliance with two
powers then friendly to the United
States. The flaw in this reasoning lies
In the fact that the Zimmerman note
was dated January 10, twelve days be-
fore Germany announced unrestricted
submarine warfare. And, moreover, it

was a secret note, so secret that its in
Perception and publication by this coun-
try upset the German diplomatic apple
cart. The American invitation to other
neutrals to join in a diplomatic boycott
of Germany, on the ground that that
power had by its proclamation of I'M
restricted naval warfare given offense to
the principles of international law and
of humanity, was on the other hand
openly announced. The United States
considered that Germany, in violating
its pledge given in May last, to abstain
from unwarned sinkings, had placed it
self beyond the pale of international
recognition. 1t sought no alliances. 1t
proposed no division of territory. 1t
merely asked other nations, situated like
itself beyond the war zone but seriously
affected by the conflict, to join in a
worldwide protest against the barbarism
of the German submarine warfare.
Herr Zimmerman was doubtless talk
ing to the German people, in justiica-
ton of his course, which led to such a
complete failure of intrigue. Perhaps
he will persuade them that he was fully
warranted in his move. The American
psople remain convinced that Germany
plotted an underhanded blow at the
United States while still at peace, be-
fore making known the course that it
knew would give the gravest offense to
the United States. 1t laid the founda-
tons for an ti-American alliance on
the basis of a division of American ter
ritory before it avowed its purpose to

ment cannot fail to locate the trickster

Time and the Extra Session.

Notwithstanding the greater interest
attaching to House control, there is
guessing as to the length of the extra
session. Two months, say some; four,
others; six, still others, while should
the session merge into the regular ses-
sion, eight months away, nobody would
be greatly surprised. Everybody is
simply guessing.
The situation is unique. If the propo-
sition were only to debate and pass the
supply bills that failed in the Sixty
fourth Congress, or vote the necessary
credit to enable the administration to
go forward with plans for the national
defense now taking shape, two months
would be a sufficient time.
But nobody knows what is in the
lap of the gods. The supply bills that
failed must be passed. Provision for
other money necessities must be made.
And them Who may say what else will
knock at the door2 Much else NAV
knock, and the door should be opened
to every worthy knock. This is dis
tinctly an emergency time; and a stitch
in uch a time saves nine.
The fact is that our present embar-
easements respecting the national de-
Tense and correlated subjects are due to
past congressional neglect. If Congress
had given more time to our army and
navy problems, and to a consideration
of what European nations were doing
with their army and navy problems, we
should not be in such a scurry now over
putting the country in its proper place.
We should be ready, instead of unready,
for what faces us.
For this and other reasons when the
Sixty-ffth Congress meets it should not
proceed at a hop-skip-and-jump, but
%leisurely and with calculation. 1t will
be something of an explorer. 1t will
have to make and tread new paths.
Some of the questions awaiting it have
never been presented to an American
Congress; had never until recently been
discussed by the American press. They
have grown, of course, out of the world
commotion, and have to do with new OBJ
legations. We are both in the world and
of it, and what the world is feeling we
feel. When The war is over we shall
have to adjust our larger affairs to re-
adjustments elsewhere in order to play
the larger part then we now have in
view.
As no time limit runs as to the extra
session, it is to be hoped Congress will
take time enough, and do everything
that should be done, and hurry with
nothing that should not be hurried.

Day Dreaming.

Oh, they sing of the day dreams;
The April and May dreams,
That gladden. the sensitive mind.
To doze all forgetful
OF matters regretful
Is pictured as gently refined.
It's exceedingly pleasant
To live in the present
Like a frolicsome kitten or pup,
But it has this objection.
You'll find on reflection
That some day you've got to wake up
The toiler and schemer
Regards the day dreamer
AS quite an impractical elf,
Who makes plans artistic
On lines altruistic
And fails to take care of himself.
So while we are drifting
'Mongst fancies uplifting
And quaffing serenity's cup,
Let's still be preparing
For doing and daring,
For some day we've got to wake up.

No Trifing With Disloyalty.
ON the PHILADELPHIA Ledger

rrOn the PhlIHdeIphla Ledger.
Some Of the tales of pro-German &C
~tivities in this country may be made
out of whole cloth. The great majority
of German-Americans are undoubtedly
loyal, and it would be a great injustice
to include them in a list of those sus-
pected of reasonable designs. The
temptation to hysteria of his sort
should be resisted. Nevertheless the de-
sire of the administration for legisla-
ton enabling it to deal effectively with
espionage. together with its refusal to
extend the old Prussian treaties with
the notifications requested by Ger
many, Is sufficient proof of actual dan
gers from the enemy within our gates.

United States a escape such attempts
to give aid and comfort to Germany as
the allies have suffered from.
