BRITISH PRISONERS
DO NOT WISH TO
RETURN TO ENGLAND

London, April s.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated s.)-Lord New
ton a few days ago In the house Of
lords, caused surprise by stating that
many British prisoners at Ruhleben,
Germany, had no desire to return to
England. 1t is now learned that there
are about 500 Of these prisoners, Brit
ish subjects, who openly profess SYM
pathy with h German u
The reason for this large number Of
pro-German British, according to
statements made here, is that they
are almost all Germans, born and
ization either in England or in some
Of the solonies, in order to escape
liability to military service in Ger
many. Most of them left Germany
specially for this purpose, and after
residing on English soil for the mini
mum period requisite to naturaliza-
ton, they returned to the fatherland
and resumed their ordinary life. The
interned prisoners also include their
natives Of Austria, German Switzer-
land and Russia. who similarly ac-
Quired British citizenship.
There was much indignation among
these pseudo-British at the outbreak
Of the war when they suddenly found
themselves informed as were out-and-
out Englishmen. There were many
protests, but the police replied that
they had sheltered themselves from
military service under their alleged
British nationality and must take the
consequences. At first they were care
fully distributed among the purely
British prisoners for observation and
espionage purposes. The EnglishmeI
countered with a boycott which
eventually resulted in the separation
Of the two elements.
Whenever one of the pro-Germans
asked for leave, the officer Of the day
would say What regiment do you
wish to join?" In the end about 500
volunteers for the German army were
obtained from the camp.

BOSTON, March 6.-The same
sterling pitching stan, the same ener-
getic infield, and the same snappy,
punchy outtleld, probably will be seen
In action for the Braves again this
year.
There are certain to be a few
changes, but for the most part the
Braves will be just as they finished a
year ago. Such solidity Of purpose,
bulwark of defense, and an angle
of attack have been developed that to
tear away part OF the machine would
be to damage it badly, in the opinion
of George Stallings. He made a game
fight year ago and he figures he will
be able to deliver the same punch
again this year.
The catching staff again will de-
pend upon Hank Gowdy, the backstop
who played with such amazing skill
during the worlds series of 1915. He
will have as assistants Blackburn,
good youngster. and Tragresser.
Rocco will be given a tryout. but is
not expected to horn in ahead Of the

that he has heard from Bill James and
that the pitching star believes he can

TFrcc-C Cushion Billiards Easier Than Balk-Linc,
Says Champion; Tells HOlU to Play Came

But the fact that the beginner knows
that he has a chance TO win makes the
game better for him.
The main objections to three-cushion
billiards has always been that the game
is too difficult.
1t is spectacular game. 1t looks
much harder than it really is. But IN
fact, il is much easier to learn TO rlay
oorespondingly good game Of balk
line.
In either balk line or straight rail a
man must learn two games. lie must
learn how to make shots and how 20
nurse his balls without taking a chance
of leaving his opponent a "setup.'
"Nursing' the balls is impossible in
three-cushion and unless a safety shot is
played every play on the table is open.
A player must know the angles Of the
table and this can only be learned by
practice lie must also know the prin-
ciples of English, but this is also true OF
straight rail and pocket billiards.
A few years ago it was uncommon TO
see game OF threc.cushion billiards
being played in a billiard hall.
Now three-cushion is pushing straight
rail and balk line Off the tables in most
cities. That testides to the popularity OF
the game.
