PLACE SURE FOR MOLLWITZ
Former Cub Player VIII in All Prob
ability Cavort Around Initial
Sack for Pirates.

Fred Mollwitz, who had no chance
to stick with the Reds after Hal Chase
became member of the club, and who
later was sent to Kansas City by the
Chicago Cubs, will in all probability ca
wort around the initial bag for the Pr
rates next season.
Mollwitz was unfortunate in former
big league associations, but at Pitts
burgh it appears that he will have lit
tie or no opposition and, as a change
of clubs often works wonders with a
ball player, he may become recognized
as one of the big leagues best initial
bagmen.
With Vic Saier's broken leg mend
ed and his future usefulness as a first
sacker practically assured, Fred Mitch
ell will have a problem to solve in
choosing between Safer and Merkle.
Safer played the last few games of the
season at first base for the Cubs and
Merkle was played in the outfeld.

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
AIM TO RETRENCH
Training Operations to Be Con-
Quoted on Very Modest
Scale.

From present indications spring
training operations of the 16 major
league ball clubs will be conducted on
a very modest scale In 1918.
The heavy expense of taking a big
squad of ball players to the sunny
Southland has caused talk of curtail-
ments along this line for several years,
but because of the hard knocks base
ball has taken in a financial way and
the uncertainties of what the future
holds for the game owing to the world
war, there is little chance that the club
owners will be ready to spend money
lavishly next spring.
A forerunner of the retrenchment
policies Of major league-ownerS was
found In the draft last September,
when the major league clubs drafted
fewer players than for the past ten
years. The Chicago White Sox, for
instance, did not draft single player.
Neither did the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Several other clubs drafted only one
Or two men, and before spring train
ing time arrives next March there is
a chance that some of the drafted
players will be turned back.
The annual report of the national
commission, showing the players pur-
chased from the minor leagues by ma
jor league clubs between the dates of
the 1916 and 1917 drafts, showed to-
tai Of 127 players who were taken by
the big leagues under approved agree
ments, other than optional contracts.
In this list the Boston Red Sox did not
obtain a single player by the purchase
route, while the Boston Braves got but
one. The drafted players totaled 33,
IL of whom were drafted by American
league clubs and 81 by clubs in the
National league.
In all the major leagues secured a
total Of 100 players, including both
those purchased for trial and those
drafted. OF this number it is said
that not more than so percent will be
taken South next spring.

BOSCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP

Best Soldier a Middleweight.

1t isn't the big 170-pounders that
the examining boards who have been

army greet with enthusiasm, says Mile
stones. It's the 1.-THE chap who weighs
about 140 and hasn't pound to spare
that is the real prize for military serv-
ice.
Tests made at Princeton and in the
training camps go to show that,
weight for weight, a man of this
build handles himself more effectively.
He scores relatively low in strength
tests, but remarkably high in endur-
ance. He is adaptable when it comes
to the notifications of diet that life
in camp makes necessary and he can
stand inspection with full equipment
on a hot day and smile, while the big
fellow willis and falls out.

DRY roots, and even dandelion roots,
dried and roasted, were used as cof-

sugars were a rarity and only on the

fat were considered pretty good enough
for all but the old people. In those
days nearly every family in town kept
a COW. Those who didn't, as a rule,
went without milk. The papers of
that day emphasized the fact that cof-
fee and tea were more nutritious when
used without milk.

Status of Arab Nation.

The Arab nation is without money
for natural resources. It's territory con-
tains neither mineral nor external agri-
cultural wealth-but the redemption
of MesOpOtamia will afford the Arab
of the future opportunity for aggran-
dizement. There, under semi-inde-
pendence, after barrages on the Tigris
and Euphrates have been built by Brit
ish energy and cash, Bagdad may rise
to higher scale of learning, splendor
and wealth than under the caliphat of
HarOun al Raschid.
OF the entire outcome from the war,
therefore, notes q correspondent, the
Arab renaissance is assuredly not the
least momentous. Historically, it will
mark the advent Of a new era; ethno-
logically it becomes q charming study
of futurists of literature.
