RESUME Of BASEBALL
So FAR THIS SEASON
BY H. c. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, May 4.-The zip, the pep,
the earnestness and the all around dash
included in the makeup of the Boston
Braves which carried that team from
the depths of last place to a worlds
championship in 1914, stand a chance
of tearing holes in an otherwise well
laiG out plan of one John McGraw this
year.
The Braves are different from other
baseball clubs. They are trained that
way by George Stallings, and because
they are different, fans are born all
over again in the enthusiasm of base
ball when they visit park where the
Boston ruffians are performing.
1t is natural for a baseball player
t. get out on the field, smita himself
with his hands, jam his paws together
ard shout "Attaboy!'
But with the Braves it's something
else. A shout from a member OF that
baseball club is one step in the George
Stallings method of winning a base
ball game.
Ed Konetchy is just a great, big
overgrown man who learned to play
ball. John Evers is bundle of nerves,
always fighting. Walter Maranville
il little fellow with marvellous pair
of hands and set of nerves that won't
quit fighting. Red Smith is just a
ball player who has learned to fight
anu fight hard for every step of a
baseball game. The outfield represents
the same thing. The Braves have been
called a money team. Sportsmanship,
they say, is a word that doesn't thrive
in the vicinity of Braves field. But
watch the turnstiles where the Braves
r,ay. The crowd likes it.
To watch the Braves in action is
the most entertaining thing in sport.
The Braves are not made up of high
! NAe'00 "N@i", S'Siy N'S FSiACNN' iHOy
are just plain, everyday ball players,
some of them men who couldn't hold
their places on any other team.
Stallings has been given record
,Cf hard words on the baseball field,
a heavy fist and growl for every
player. But players never performed
for another manager like they do fo.
George Stallings. In the vernaculal
cf the streets, va gotta hand it ia
George.
Stallings is making his bid for pen
nant honors this year in the fact Of
the most trying opposition. He is
facing in the New York Giants a
powerful aggregation of baseball
players. But it will pay to turn
back over history's pages and note
that John McGraw had been voted a
pennant in 1914 and that he had ac-
tually reached the crest of the heap
end was driving along when the
Braves came along and wrecked his
little wagon in their mad dash from
last to first place.

UTILIZE MOUNTAINS
FOR NATIONS NEEDS
(By United Press)


San Francisco, May 4.-As part OF
the systematic campaign Of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
to increase the country's food sup
ply, the national forest stock ranges
are being gone over with fine tooth
comb to discover every acre available
for summer grazing and the sheep
and cattle to stock them.
For the last two years the Forest
Service has devoted much time and
money to promoting and developing
the recreation use of the forests. 1t
vas planned to continue this work ag-
gressively this season, to improve
camp grounds and to issue more
rlaps. This viii be postponed, how
ever, until the successful termination
Of the war with Germany
In many cases range areas hither-
t. reserved for campers horses will
he used for produce beef, mutton and
wool. The time of tbs forest rangers
will be spent in aiding the stockme1
to develop the ranges that more stock
car be carried. By means of COOP
e.ative work with the livestock as
sociations and the University of Cal
itornia the department hopes to have
many thousand more cattle on the
forest ranges this season than last.
In the opinion of the forest officers
neat and men are more needed this
season than vacations and, while trav-
el for pleasure in the mountains will
in no way be discouraged, the forest
officers agree that the camper will
meet more cows than deer in the ma
tional forests.

ATROCITIES IN ITALY,
Invaders Practice Acts OF Barbarism.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-An the op-
pressive measures which characteriz-
ed the German invasion of Belgium
and many of the acts of barbarism
which revolted the civilized world,
semi-official dispatches from Rome
today say, are now being practiced by
the AustrO- G erman invaders of ItaIv
Near Zenson, the dispatches say.
the invaders placed Italian women
and children before their troops as
they advanced and the Italian soldiers
were compelled to sacrifice their in
nocent countrymen.
In the Friuli region war taxes, re-
quisitions and conscription of labor is
being practiced as it was in Belgium
and Northern France. Austro- Ger
man prisoners tell of italian non
combatants massacred by the invad-
ing troops and loot from Italian
homes and shops has been found on
the bodies of dead troops. Soldiers on
the Piave declare they hear the
screams of women and children from
the opposite side of the river.
The invading armies have taken
away cattle and other property and
burned household furniture for their
bivouac fires at night. Bosnian troops,
the dispatches say, have committed
unnamable atrocities.

PACIFIST TALK UNWELCOME.
UniOnist Party DeplOrc Publication OF
LansdOwne Letter.

London, Nov. 30.-An authorized
report concerning the Unionist meet
ing Of today says it was attended by
1900 representatives of Unionist
bodies throughout the country and
that resolutions were unanimously
carried deplOring the publication of
the letter of he Marquis of Lans-
downe. Declaring firm adherence to
the war aims of the allies as defined
by the premier, Bonar Law and Mr..
Asquith it was decided that the res
olutiOn should be wired to the premier
and Mr.. Balfour at Paris.
a scene of great enthusiasm en-
sued the delegates rising and singing
the national anthem. Bonar Law then
delivered a speech in which he admit
ted that he never had met any one
more patriotic or disinterested thar
the Marquis of Lansdowne. Never
theless Bonar Law said:
Il disagree absolutely not only
with the arguments but with the
whole tone of the letter. l think it is
nothing less than national misfor-
tune that it has been published, now
Of all times.
Before the war our government
did not dare suggest disarmament to
Germany. They often went near it,
Lut the Germans regarded it almost
as q casus belli. And before the war
were prohibited in Germany and be-
liove they are prohibited to this day
I'm my judgment, we have got to
show the German nation, in the only
way they can be made to realize, that
war does not pay; that their military
machinery can not get the desired re-
suits. 1t is only by decisive military
results that the war can be ended
Let the Germans realize that we car
so longer than they and the change
Of feeling in Germany of which we
hear SO much will grow daily and will
itself, perhaps, bring the results we
all long to see"
Bonar Law intimated that should
! the Marquis of Lansdowne'S letter
stimulate the pacifist movement to
the point Of the government losing
support for needful war measure
there would be only one alternative
for the government. He declared that
II peace on this basis would really be
q defeat for Great Britain.
