marks rather peculiar turn in the administration of the Giants. Only few times in recent years has player once turned loose been re- called. Charlie Herzog was bought back from Boston and second time returned to the Giants after his man. agerial escapade in Cincinnati Red Murray came back after having been sent to the Cubs, but Red John was not considered as likely can- didate for a regular berth when he was signed up a second time.
 Demaree may now be entered i'll the list of lucky players. Al was on hand in 1913 to get split in the worlds series money coming to the Giants. Later he split one big series purse with the Phillies. Now he will be in line for another cut into the melon, provided the Giants win and the series is played next fall.

New York. Aug. 4.-Evidence of the fact that Manager John McGraw of the Giants is beginning to view with more or less apprehension the dust kicked up by the Cardinals and Reds in their pursuit of his league leaders came to light when Pitcher Al De- maree. former Giant and later Phill.r and Cub player, was acquired at the expense of Pete Kilduff, promising young inf1elder of the club.
 The acquisition of Demaree sig nalizes the fact that McGraw feels need of additional pitching strength. Since George Smith was sent to Ro- chester and Jim Middletown shipped back to Louisville only six veteran fingers remain on hand. The addi- tion of Demaree or at least of a good consistent man was needed.
 Incidentally the return of Demarea

Donovan Tries Many Hurlers,
 Who Fail to Check Tigers

New York, August 4.-The Junga- leers from Detroit are taking on q fe- pociousness nowadays which may land them somewhere. They beat the Tanks yesterday at the Polo Grounds by a score of 10 to 3, and did it in g. manner which closely resem bled an unfriendly attitude. The kind of bat ting the Jennings clan exhibited would soon have the sox twins. White and Red, sitting up nights worrying if the thing should become a habit.
 Three Yankee picthers Cullop, Shocker and Love, all felt the force of the Detroit bats Of the Is hits which fell in a shower around the meadow, Ty Cobb had homer, George Burns a triple. double and Q single, and Os-
 car Witt a triple. It is little wonder
 that Hughey' Jennings danced all over
 the greensward in glee.
 Cobb made the longest and the shortest hits of the game. His homer was cultivated in the seventh after Witt had tripled off Shocker. The rap went high and whistled it's way to the left center field fence. Tyrus then per formed a living denial that he is slow | ing up by skirting the bases just about
 as fast as Roamer travelled down the
 stretch at Saratoga.
 l The score:
 ] Detroit ...... 3O2oo12o2-l0 13 ( | New York .... o0o12000o-3 , Mitchell, Dauss and Yelle; Cullop 1 Shocker, Love and Nunamaker and Walters.

Most of the army of American war

Freeman Ford, Pasadena, Cal, already

SWed Tells of German
Labor Conditions

Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 30 (By
maiD-A Swed has just returned from
six weeks work in a German munition
factory at Torgan with most dis
tressing tale of the condition of the
workers there including some French,
Belgian and Russian prisoners forced
to labor in the shops.
The Swed was lured into Germany by
a Germen named Biltzing, who has been
recruiting labor in Sweden and Den
mark for German munition factories.
Biltzing promised the Swed ten
marks day, with only two marks de-
Quoted for board and room and rail
road fare. He accepted and on the two
days trip to Torgan, his entire food
was two sandwiches.
The meals and lodgings were unbear-
able, the Swed said. For breakfast
they had two thin slices of bread and
imitation coffee. Midday dinner con
sisted of sauerkraut and potatoes and
at supper they had only sauerkraut,
which was mostly water. At tea time
i'll the afternoon they had, in addition,
two more slices of bread, without cof-
fee. Their lodgings were in the pit
of an unused theatre, where thirty-two
workmen were barracked, in hunks
three tiers high.
The railroad fare was deducted from
his first weeks wages and he was told
it would not be refunded or the return
ticket paid for unless he worked three
months. He was forced to work on
SUNDAYS and was treated as brutally as
the war prisoners.
After six weeks the Swed and two
others pawned their spare clothes,
escaped by stealth and made their way
back to Sweden, whore they are warn
ing their fellow workers to accept no
German labor offers.
