sThis country went into the war adj
mirably prepared for baseball.
Ii Hung Schang Ia the most i'm
proved veteran player on the Athletic
team.
Several Of the Brooklyn players are
to get bonuses If they hit up to GER
tain marks.
Those "bean ball" pitchers would be
handy with the hand grenades in the
front trenches.
Barry Mccormick, n of the Ameri-
can leagues new umpires, appears to
be a capable official.
Ed LATTE, the former Buffalo Fed
pitcher, is now a ~full-fedged dentist,
and is practicing his profession.
Portland Is drawing big crows to its
home games, and maybe Hugh Duffy
wishes he had stuck on his job.
The Cardinals are getting the money

have a good ball club after all.
Cincinnati politicians are grooming
Garry Hermann, chairman Of the ma
tional commission, for mayor of Red

Manager McGraw is trying to con
vert George Kelly, the nephew of Bill
Lange, from an outfielder into q

Newark's great strength so far has
been In its pitching. for which, without
n doubt, wise old Tom Needham is re-
sponsible.
Fred Mitchell, who is getting fair re-
suits with the disjointed Cubs, has
developed a fine all-around player In
"Dutch" Reuther.
Larry Chappelle would save money
II he purchased a mileage book. He
makes so many trips between the mi
nors and the majors.
The White Sox are getting some
good pitching and winning quite reg
ularly. Faber, Scott and Cicotte have
all shown winning form.

Booth as he stalked through
"Hamlet's" lines? Ever sit en-
