The Leader.

The greatest left handler we ever
saw in action was Rube Waddcll, err
ratio, eccentric. a nut, Il bug. but one
faced the plate.
Waddcll had three thngs-baffling,
binding speed, fine control and a
wicked curve. He may not have been
the smartcst pitcher in the world, but
with these three things he was too well
stocked to require anything else.
He had fully as much smoke as
Babe Ruth, a better curve and equal
or better control. Ruth, in the main,
depends upon his speed. Waddell had
the speed, but with this he interpo-
lated a curve that came over fast and
that broke with n sheer descent
straight down. And in the box Rubc
was a canny, cunning workman and
no part of a boob.
In one of his last few games, after
he had been released by Mack and
turned over to st. Louis, he asked
permission to work against the club
that let him go as a has been. He
drew the assignment, and the RUDE
responded by striking out II Mackmen

sidercd all in and through, but he had

Smart Lefthanders.

Contrary to popular belief, the
pastme has been replcte with smart,
brainy left handlers. We have never
seen smarter pitcher than Theodore
Brcitenstein, the old $4,000 wonder
with the Browns and Reds. We can't
recall pitchers any smarter than Nap
Rucker, Eddie Plank, Doc White or
Jesse Tannchill
Plank is the warhorse of the left
handlers. He has lasted longer than
any left handler in baseball history.
Eddie today is the veteran pitcher of
his league-thc oldest pitcher left in
either circuit.

man territory held by the French. while
The French outside Of Europe have shared
with the British in the seizure of more
than a million square miles of German
colonial territory, considerable portions OF
which are now under French occupation.
As long as the Germans hold French
territory they have hostage and a basis
for bargaining. both for the return OF their
colonies held by the British and by the
French and for a possible extension
Of their colonial area as the price OF
complete evacuation of France. But If th'
Germans are now compelled to retire be
hind the Meuse and about Lille they VII
occupy hardly more than 1,5OO square
miles of French territory, and they, will
then have very little basis for bargain
ing with France.
We may say that the British have so
far been wholly successful IN material
way in their conflict with the Germans. If
the French should free their own country
from the German invader. they would IN
turn escape from any compelling necessity

it seems TO me Lat a German defeat is

Russia could prevent this now, unless Italy
were also eliminated. The German call
culation upon submarines has not yet been
justified. Three months after the begin

have not brought England to starvation or
anywhere near to it, and a British harvest
is soon to come. which will keep the British
going for nearly half a year. The task Of
the German army therefore is much

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-03

TO attack this year, between Verdun and
Befort, but nowhere on this front, except
between the Mosele River at Pont-au-
Mousson and the Vosges north of st. Die,
is there any field offering a good chance
for attack, and it is exceedingly unlikely
that the French would be able to transport
their artillery and to organize an attack
before winter came to close all operations.
We may say, then, that the Germans still
have i'm reserve new retreat which would
enable them, provided they could make as
successful a withdrawal as they did m
March. to avoid a decision in the West
this year and still to retain control of all
Belgium and a considerable area of indus
trial France. They would be able, always
granting that they made their retreat sue
cessfully, to stand in a better and shorter
line than they now hold and, without much
question, to abolish all chance of decisive
defeat during the campaign of 1917.
On the other hand, such "A retreat would
surrender nine-tenths of the territory o.
France which they now hold. including all
the coal districts; it would put in jeopardy
the iron districts about Mezieres and make
a French push out of the Briey district

campaign. The moral effect of the retreat
would be great, both upon the German peo-
pIe and upon the French. The material
value would be considerable. because Ger
many would lose nearly all her hold on
France. 1t must be remembered that de-
spite many great victories and much sue
cessfuI invasion Germany's position re-
mains unfortunate with regard to her
greatest enemy. namely, England. To-day
she holds no portion of British territory,
while the British, with the support OF
the French. have completely destroyed the
German colonial empire and driven the
German flag from the sea. England holds
three or four times as many German pris-
oners as Germany holds British prisoners,
and in the war between Germany and Eng
land all the advantage 50 far lies with the
British. and unless the submarine cam
naicn shall hereafter bring the British TO
.heir knees Germany has no direct method
of compelling the British to restore her
lost colonies.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-03

Joining the Mouse line at MeZieres, is a
position which might easily hold back the
Allies for more than another year Of fight
ing. for over the larger part of such
front the Germans would be covered by
the Scheldt and the Meuse rivers, and the
area actually open for attack would be
very small.
A Losing Campaign
Il seems to me inevitable that some time
between now ard next spring the Germans
will have to 90 back TO the Franco-Beigian
frontier. and there are great many lndi-
cations. both in recent days and in all
German military preparation and COM
ment. which point TO recognition OF this
fact on the part of the Germans. Unless
all signs fail, the Germans no longer ex-
pect a military decision. They hope that
their armies can check and hold off Allied
attack and keep it away from Germany un-
I'll their submarine campaign shall bring
their enemies to terms or until the unrest
and economic exhaustion Of their enemies
shall compel them to discuss terms OF
peace. They mean 20 hold as much of
France as they can against such time;
but they recognize clearly that their cam
paign is a losing campaign, in which the
mission of their army is to delay and TO
stand on the defensive.
If the Allies should succeed in driving
the Germans TO the frontier before autumn,
their success will surpass the expectation

this. after all, would not be an operation
which would consume all Of British mill

Granted that the Germans were driven
to the Belgian frontier this fall my Judg-
ment is that the Allied campaign OF 1918
would be based upon an effort to invade
Germany through Alsace-Lorraine and by
forcing a crossing of the Upper Rhine to
carry the war, with its destruction, into
Germany itself. This, think, must be a
determining reason why the Germans will
hold on as long as they can in their pres
cnt position.

Retirement Inevitable
Conceivably. there may yet be limited re-
tirements before there is general with
drawal to the Meuse and Lille line. II IS
possible that as the French pressure on
10th sides Of Rheims continues the Ger
mans will withdraw behind the Aisne River
from Berry-auBac to Nouziers, where
the Aisne touches the Argonne, and then
stand between it and the Argonne, south
