WINNER OF a REMNANTS DECLARES
THAT LACKING IN AGGRESSIVE
NESS-TOO MUCH "BROTHEH."
(By Associated Prcss.)

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 11.-Fred
Clarke, winner of four National league
pennants, and one worlds championship
with the Pittsburgh club Of the National
league. dopolred the pink tea" tactics that
have found their way into baseball.
The game, he says, lacks aggressiveness
there is too much brotherly love and fra
ternizing. amcng the players. Players on
opposing teams should be friends, he main
tains, but not in the ball park. Clarke j.
in kentucky on bushes sand expects 10
remain for sometime.
The fight between Ty Cobb and IIerzog
in Dallas will do more to draw crowds than
ANYTHING else that could have happened"
Clarke said. "Of course, ! do not approve
of fist fighting on the field. as was staged
AT Dallas, but | would like 10 see more
aggre-siveness and less Of this brotherly
love stuff
Clarke believes hat golf j. vastly over
rated NJ 4 means for improving the hitting
Of a bah player.
'.The golf itself does not hurt a mans
batting, and may improve it. But ] think
that "A player has all he can do to play
baseball for six months without looking
for more work. That extra e~xertion spent
in trudging around u golf course is too
much if YOU are playing ball. If a man
should play golf all morning he would sap
up energy that should be expended at the
ball park in the afternoon.
THAT j. why ! never played golf as long
as ! was in baseball. Since | retired in
1915, however, ! have taken up the game
and play a great DEAL
Concerning the retirement of Hans Wag-
ner, tho veteran shortstop Of the Pitts
burgh club. Clarke said that Wagner could

GERMAN AVIATOR LOSES
IS. PASSENGER IN MID-AIR
Pilot Says Lieutenant Became Rat
II tied and Must Have Been
s..' nThrown Out.o

6kum Sta e Correspondent Of the Associated Press
-. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
.1RANCE. May q. via London. May 2s-
* German aviator just shot down within
me British lines told with amaxing
.nonchalance how he lost his passenger
IN mid-air. The prisoner Is a corporal
and was plotting q two-seated machine
on reconnaissance work. The passenger
was a new lieutenant observer whom
tho pilot was taking up for the nrst
time.
...,T The lieutenant was nervous from the
start and KEPT giving the pilot con.
Trajectory instructions which caused
him completely to lose his way. That
rs how he happened to get over the
British lines. The pilot turned his ma
.cf1ine eastward as he thought, but be-
.fieved something must have gone wrong
with the compass. He had not flown a
great distance when he sighted several
British fighting scouts. Now the pas
senger became fairly frantic and began
beating the pilot on the back. urging
him to swing around in the opposite
direction. This further confused the
pilot and the first thing he knew one
of the British machines had opened
IRE and shot him through both legs.
80, The pilot took matters in his own
hands then and in order to escape from
the attackers dived almost vertically
with the engine full on. He did not
,fatten out until within 200 feet of the
ground, and then, almost faint from his
Wounds, he let the machine slip and
landed with a crash.
A search of the wreckage revealed no
trace of the observer.
-, 80 IT think he must have been thrown
out" said the German pilot.
-" He was" said one of the pilot s
.captors, who had seen the officer pitch
.headlong to his death.

PROTESTS COLOR STRIPS.
Army Officer Criticises Use Of Rib
bons Similar to Service Decoration.

Complaint against wearing of the
vari-colored strips of ribbon, display
ing the colors of all the allied powers.
because they resemble the service rib
bons worn by soldiers, has been made
by prominent army officer to a Star
reporter.
For gallant service in action and for
months of arduous campaign duty the
soldier is given medals and campaign
badges. which he wears with his full
dress uniform" the officer remarked.
'and he is authorized to wear strip
of ribbon of the decorations he has won
on the left breast of his service AMI
campaign uniform.
These honors and the exhibition of
them is a source of great pride to those
who possess them, and a stimulation to
the recruit to secure the same marks of
the veteran for himself.
ANY unauthorized or marketable i'm
itation of the little strips of ribbon has
a tendency to cheaper them. to belittle
their value to the wearers, decreases
the honor in which they are held and
thereby destroys the spirit of their
owners and the ambition of other SOL
dierS to obtain them"
