Bezdek's Return to
Pittsburgh Pleasing to
Baseball Fans There

- = =
The re-engagement of Hugo Bezdek
manager of the Pittsburg club, for
1918, should prove to be pleasing to
Pittsburg fans. Even though the
present season is completed with the
Bues a. bad last, the good work of the
manager has been in evidence, writes
David j. Davies in. the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Taking hold of the team when
the players were Aemoralized, when
they were going about their work
with their heads down, and with abso-
lutely no life or ambition, he sue
ceeded in establishing an esprit de
corps-a working system that has
been apparent in every game they
have played under the new auspices
OF course, no manager in the world
could have developed a winner un-
der the conditions which existed. The
pitchers were not IN the right condi-
ton; these didn't begin to show un-

THREE FINGER BROWN
Had FINE RECORD ON
DIAMOND FOR YEARS

Mordicai Brown, the three-fingered
miner who just a few short seasons
ago was a headliner in the national
pastime, will celebrate his forty first
birthday today He was born in
professional ball in Terre Haute away
back in 1901. The following year he
left his native state and Joined the
pitching staff of the Omaha Western
Leaguers. The season of 1903 found
Mordicai in a Cardinal uniform, and
in 1904 he signed up with the Cubs.
1t was with the Chicago outfit that
he really gained his fame. In 1906
he helped Chicago win pennant hon
ors, sharing the glory and the spoils
| with Ed ReuIbach. Jack Pfeister and
Orvic Overall
Mordicai liked the Cubs, and they
reciprocated his sentiments, for he
stayed with them until 1912. That
year be went to Cincinnati and later
| jumped to the Federal League, togeth-
er with his old pal, Joe Tinker. Nor
dicai tried his hand as a manager of
| the st. Louis Feds, and his club start
ed off in great shape. They could not
keep up the pace, however, and Nor
4 dicai was deposed as manager and
Fielder Jones took his place. The
4 miner closed the season on the pitch
ing staff OF the Rrookfeds, but it was
i apparent that his twirling days were
about over. Brown has extensive min
i ing interests in California and ha:
been well able to keep the wolf from
the door.

PEACE ON
EARTH, GOOD
Will To MEN,
(Contributed).

These are stirring times and the
kind that bring to the surface the in
nermost thoughts of man. One editor
reveals a strange code of morals. His
argument for wanting US to go to war
is that we have already injured Ger
many by helping her enemies and
therefor we must wrong her further
in order to weaken her so that she can
not harm US by getting revenge; or
else he adds, we must get ready in few
IRISH haste to protect ourselves against
her enmity. Strange teachings.
Have we not yet learned that there
are more powerful laws than those
made by man and more potent forces
in our lives than physical strength ?
If not, we are asleep. The laws of
Spirit are as sure as those of mathe-
matics-two and two are always four.
If we sow poor seeds, those of hatred
we are sure to reap a poor harvest-of
, sickness, poverty, sorrow and death
The most powerful protective force in
| all the universe is Love and nothing
can prevail against it. We have no
thing to fear from Germany or any O.
Their country if we convince them Of
our goodwill and fairness.
/ Preparedness is based on fear and
it is a scientific law that fear draws
Upon US thethings we fear.
If we have wronged Germany our
day of reckoning is coming no matter
what happensto Germany-unless We
repent and come under the law of for
giveness. Those who study conditions
