Pitching Weary.

The Fan Colony at present has grown pitching weary. There was a time when a 300 hitter was supposed to be just a good, normal batsman. Yet last season in the two majoi leagues, with over 250 players, there were just sixteen-nine in the Ameri- can and seven in the National-who finished at 300 or above-an average of just one player to each club.
 The club average last season in the American league for all eight clubs was .249; in the National it was .247.
 So the average hitter--not the weak est, but the normal entry-has been cut down to .248.
 There was a day when a man batt- ing under .270 was considered 8 weak hitter. Today he can bat under .250 and still be upon terms with the av craze. These figures alone are suffi- cient to show how badly the attack has been smeared.
 Defense Far Too Powerful.
 There are very few ways to improve an attack, save by natural develop ment. There have been any number of devices found to improve the de- fence-the spitball, the half-balk, the big, soft gloves, the base on balls pur- posely given the strong batter to bring a weaker batter up, etc., etc.
 Football fell into the same trouble. The defense got entirely too strong for the attack and the game started down hill. Two evenly matched teams spent the greater part of their time around midfield. Those in charge of footballs destiny were wise-enough to see this, with the result that football today is making such a popular appeal that stadiums seating 75;000 can't ac- commodate the big game crowds.
 Those in charge of football had the foresight to look ahead and to work out ways for development of their game. Those in charge of baseball have been content to talk, and then wind up with the wise declaration that "the good old game is good enough as it is.''

 It is recognized that these condi- tions may be difficult of fulfillment, but the belief is expressed that they are in general with President Wilson's ideas. The note declares in confidence that so far as Europe is concerned none of the conditions can be satis- fled, even imperfectly, unless peace is secured on the general lines indicated by the allies joint note.

 Just What Wilson Wants.
 Great Britain justifies her continu- ance of hostilities, it was pointed out, not only for the immediate object of the war but also of the necessity that behind international law and behind all treaty arrangements for preventing or limiting hostilities some form of international sanction should be de. vised which would give pause to the hardest aggressor."
