THE KAISER TO HIS MAYOR

Mayor Thompson of Chicago has richly earned th
contempt of America, and at the same time the kee
appreciation of Germany. If communication were nc
interrupted the Portland Telegram says the followin
message might pass:
"BERLIN-William Hale Thompson the Honora-
BILE ~Burgomaster, Chicago, IL thank you in the
name of my empire and Of my people for your loyal
service in overriding the will of your swinish gov
ernor. I desire through you, whom 1 now hail as
my most %ilustrious transatlantic officer, to con-
vey an expression OF my deepest gratitude to the
patriotic pro-Germans whom you protected at a pub
lie meeting which swinish Americans call sedi-
tious.
II am dispatching to you today by a trusted
spy the cross of the Order Of the Black Eagle. 1
beg of you to protect him against mishap while he
remains in Chicago. I am sending to my dear
friend and co-worker Chief of Police Schuettler,
the iron cross. I can promise him a rarer decoration
after he shall have accomplished other work which
my faithful messenger will lay before him.
II acclaim you as the bravest among my Ameri-
can subjects, for you will be pilloried by the Brit
ish-owned American newspapers, but / give you the
the unstinted praise of the fatherland.

1t was altogether fitting that MOSCOW turned out
so well Wednesday afternoon to cheer the boys on their
way to American Lake. There we're but eight of them,
but each one is held at a much higher valuation in this
onmunity than the kaiser. Any one Of these typical
American boys is worth far more, especially in the
eyes of their friends and relatives here, than the whole
Hobenzollern dynasty.
Then the demonstration as these young men depart
ed, perhaps to fight in a few months. had another value
that it would be difficult to compute. It furnished a
striking proof that SO far as this community is con-
cerned there is no division Of sentiment-that every
man, woman and child is back of the boys in the fight
to be made. This knowledge will send these young SOL
whole nation is back. of them in this spirit will make
them i%nvincible.
But really the demonstration will do the folks ut
home more good than the boys who went away. They
will have many things to inspire them and cheer them.
The folks at home are liable to become Indifferent and
dull to the tremendous import of what is going on in the
world. We need these demonstrations to bring us to life
as a community to compel us to forget for a time the
ssordid side of it all and go with the boys in spirit in the
greatest adventure of all time.
To the extent that the whole people go with the men
sn arms in spirit and in prayer, to just that extent they
brought nearer accomplishment.

RENDER GOOD SERVICE

1t is not always the spectacular service that is most
valuable. Two men were conscripted in this ommunity
the other day to serve on the board of education, when
they felt they had done their part and that other citizens
should be drafted. Many aggravating problems come
before the board of education. A man serving there
gets many kicks and few encomiums. He is made to
feel that the task is a thankless one, but this is not
true. The work done by such men as T. A. Meeker and
H. Melgard is appreciated by those who know the condi-
lions, and the community is fortunate when such men
will give of their time and ability to promote the cause
of education without compensation of any kind.

M'PARTLAND TO
 REFEREE IN WELSH
 AND LEONARD BOUT

New York, May 26-The Gibson Leonard forces scored a. victory over the Pollok Welsh combine in the opening skirmish of the. next battle between Champion Freddie Welsh and Benny Leonard at the Manhattan Ca sino on Monday night. The former compelled Pollok and Welsh to wave the white flag of truce, after which there was a complete surrender on the referee question. Kid. McPartland will be the third man in the ring. Billy Gibson offered the name of the classy lightweight of the old Horton law days, when 1t was learned that Charley White was not well enough to officiate.
 Of course this will be a, hard blow to Billy Roche and Billy Joh, both of whom had figured on earning enough to purchase a summer outfit, but it's all settled now, and the fans can now devote their thoughts to the win ner.
 Leonard still insists that there will be new lightweight champion of the world sometime before midnight next Monday. Benny. however must not forget that to carry out this predic- ton he must rock Welsh to sleep. Welsh knows that his. crown is in danger, and because of the importance of the battle he has stuck to his train- ing, as he never has before. Fred hasn't left his new home in Summit, N. J., in nearly two weeks. This is significant, and -c indicates that the champion will illsie be in perfect condi-

GREAT RALLY BY CLEVELAND IN 9TH
 DEFEATS YANKEES

Cleveland, May 26-A five-run lead with one out in. C1eveland's half of the ninth and all the bases empty was not enough for Urban Shocker yester- day afternoon, and the Indians, put on a rally which netted six runs and victory. Allen Russell was trying to do rescue work when the tying and winning runs went over, but the dis nal finish was due mainly to Shock er's collapse just when victory seem ed certainty. The score was to 5.
 Shocker had allowed only three hits one a Texas Leaguer and another scratch, in the first eight innings, but he was continually in trouble, due to his poor control. He was presented with a commanding lead in the New York half of the eighth inning when the Tanks pounded Gould off the rubber and added four runs to one gleaned in the fifth, but later events proved that he needed more.
 Fans were on, the way to the exits when ' an Howard, hitting for Evans, struck out in the ninth. Steve O'Neill followed with a single to centre and galloped along to second on 8 tumble by Magee. This did not cause much concern to team leading at the time by to 0.
 Billings, batting for Lambert, stab bed Shocker for single to left, fast fielding by Miller keeping the hit down to one base. and, O'Nei1l raced home Then Jack Graney doubled to right and Billings stopped at third. Dono- van wig-wagged to Allen Russell to warm up, as the hits were coming too fast for comfort.
 Chapman added to the gayety of the home fans with another single to left, chasing Billings and Graney home. Even then two runs were need ed to tie, so the outlook was not es- peeial1y dark for the Yankees, but when Speaker hit the rightfield wall for two bases, sending Chapman to third, things looked decidedly omin- ous The tying run was now on sec ond base. Donovan called Shocker to the bench and sent Russell to the box.
 Allison, first batsman to face Rus sell, went out on strikes, and then came a bit of hard luck for the Yan- kees. Baker made a great stop of Wambsgan's grounder, but tripped as he got the ball and Wamby won a hairline decisi~n in his race with the ball to first. The game would have been ended but for the fall.
 Chapman scored-on the infield hit, and Speaker reached third A pass to Guisto filled the bases and Howard, batting a second time, had two strikes against him when Speaker decided to steal home. Russell in his hurry to get the ball to the plate,> made wild pitch and the ball rolled to the stand, allowing Speaker to tie the score and Wan1bv to come in with the Uinnipo run. It was the widest, weirdest inning the Yankees have experienced this season.

LOW THROW IN TENTH IS FATAL
 TO BRIDGEPORT

Worcester. May 26-The Bridgeport even if they can't get the victory. Krichell's sluggers caused a lot of trouble yesterday before Worcester finally took a ten-inning game by to 8. This was the day for losing on errors as the contest on Thursday was tossed away by poor pitching King Lear, who was changed from first to third base, made a wild throw in the tenth which allowed the winning run to count.
 Frank Desseau was on the rubber for Bridgeport and the veteran pitch ed steadily. Although tapped for 10 hits Desseau was good with men on bases. He was taken out in the ninth, when Worcester had men on second and third, because Potteiger, a left hand hitter. was coming up. South paw Smith was sent to hurl against Potteiger and this worked out fine because Smith retired the side without scoring.
 In the tenth, however, Smith passed Wilder for starter and then Con way bunted a pop fly which fell safe. Gross sacrificed the, runners along. Gardella, hit to Lear, who had a chance to get Wilder at the plate but threw low. That ended the game.
 Worcester was ahead by 3 to 1 in the seventh when Bridgeport tied the score when Deininger and Briggs singled and Lear un1oaded a double. Lea. led at bat with three blows while Joe Briggs had a two-bagger and a single. Keller twirled the entire game for Worcester. He kept Bridge ports hits well scattered except in the seventh. The score:

Hornsby of St. Louis
 Takes No Credit for
 His Brilliant Playing
(Sporting Newsl

A scf1bbl1ng sharp in New York sought to interview Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals on his opinions con- cerning hitting, pitching and base ball playing in general.
 'How do you figure a pitcher?.' was one of the questions asked the Cardinal swatsnith.
 Figure him? Not much to figure'' said Hornsby. "Al1 any pitchers got is fast one. or slow one. or a curve or maybe a splitter. If he don't it on the nose?'' This was not enlightening. so the scribe tried a new tack Were you nervous when you first faced big league pitcher 9" was the question.
 s-Naw, why should I be nervous? The other birds was hittin' him"
 That was enough along that line, so the scribe ventured: What posi- tion do you like best? That is, what do you think you play best 9" Don't see any difference,'' said Hornsby. eff they. hit a ball where you can get, then you got to- get it and hustle it to some base. Or if the throws they give you if you can. If you don't you're no good.'' ''How do you account for your suc- cess in the big league?'' was the next thing fired at Hornsby. Count for it? Say, how do the best of 'em count for it, They just do the best they can, don't they? We'll, that's what I do.'' The newspaper reporter retired with the opinion that Rogers Horns by is most extraordinary young man.

IS
 HANDED JOCKEY
 FOR RAGING BET

New York, May 26-Tommy Mo- Taggart, the jockey, who is under coa- tract to John Sanford, is in temporary disgrace. His riding license was sus- pended yesterday by the stewards of the Jockey Club for the violation of Rule 213, which provides. that "No jockey shall bet on any race except through the owner of and on the horse which he rides.''
 No explanation beyond the bare an- nouncement was given, but it was in- timated that no charge of fraud had been entertained. The stewards, how ever. are determined on a strict en- forcement of tn rules and they felt that McTaggart was old enough and experienced enough to suffer the full consequences of his act without a warning.
 Going further, Dan McTaggart, a. brother of Tommy, M. F. Sheedy and George Phillips, who brought Kopple- man east, were forbidden to act as agents for jockeys in arranging mounts.
 Tommy McTaggart ranks with the best jockeys in the country, and it |, seems a pity that he should be so short-sighted as to violate an import ant rule when he was in position to earn between $12.000 and $15, 5,00O this year.
 No definite time was set for the sus- pension ,and it is quite possible that he will be out of the saddle until the meeting at Saratoga Springs, if not longer.
 This is not the first time that he has been in disfavor. but his offenses here tofore usually have been for rough riding. He was on the ground for a full year not long ago for causing horse to fall in race on one of the Maryland tracks. Since his reinstate- ment, however. little criticism has been heard of his work.

 In the National league Burns of New York, average .381, has displaced Jack Smith, St. Louis. as the leading hitter among the regulars. Wilhoit, Boston, is a point ahead of Burns, but has been in only 5 games, as against 27 for Burns.
 Burns also leads in runs scored with 21 and is tied with Baird, Pitts burgh, for stolen base honors, each having seven. Whitted of Philadel- phia, and Doyle of Chicago, are tied in sacrifice hits with 12 each. Cravath Philadelphia, has home run honors with five. Philadelphia has batted its way to a tie at .27stwith New York for team hitting.

Pennsylvania Likely
 to Secure Big Bouts

And now Pennsylvania has new boxing law,e too. The bill recently passed provides for a boxing commis- sion of three members, and a secre- tary, all under salary. It is general ly agreed that boxing has been doing pretty well, without any commission. The bouts have been limited to six rounds. It is not unlikely that under the new conditions, if the bill be- comes law, boxing will receive a great booming in Pennsylvania. If that is the case New York fight fans will be able to get some real sport, if they want to spend carfare, since the game has practically been knocked out in New York.

CUBS MADE FINE SHOWING ON THEIR
 EASTERN INVASION

New York, May 26-F'red Mitchell and his rehabilitated Cubs close out their skirmishing through the East ern precincts of the National Lea que today, and leave for their own base of operations near Lake Michi- gan. Frederick is well satisfied with the way things have shaped on his invasion.
 To Mitchell and his tribe are due the credit. Just how and where the combination will split the glory is a matter of opinion. Certain it is that on the showing of ten games won in fifteen played with ope left to go, the Cublets have quite a few encomi- ums coming. A large slice of the glory should be given Mitchell. He has surely passed along strong evid- ence of being a real club leader.
 Considered individually the Cubs do not shape up as first class ball club. Several have been considered stars, but are looked on now as past their prime. Others are classed rath- CT as never having been real big lea que calibre. Still others have been looked upon as high class material from a diamond standpoint, but tough propositions temperamentally. Yet Mitchell has his veterans full of life and hustle, appeared to have convinced others that they are pen -nant winning talent, and has round ed up the bad actors and persuaded them to pull together for the good of the organization.
 The team still is long way from being a favorite for the pennant, but should cause much trouble for it's ri- vals. If Mitchell can keep his pitch CTS going along well, and continues to hold the rest of his organization on its toes, the Cubs will win many games.

SLING TENNIS VERY POPULAR IN ARMY
 ON ALLIES FRONT

A new form of tennis has been de- veloped in several of tho European war prison camps and has grown popular with the men who in the past have been accustomed to play the game upon either grass or clay courts. For the lact of a better name 1t has been called Sling Tennis which is fairly appropriate as the ball or bag is thrown back and forth across the net without being permit ted to touch the ground.
 This style of play is not exactly new for an effort was cAade to intro duce a somewhat similar form of tennis some years ago but met with little, if any, success. Owing to the fact that 1t requires no specially prepared court surface it has been found to be easily adaptable in prison camps, reserve training camps and back of the fighting lines.
 All that is needed is a stretch of ground level enough to run about upon and large enough to lay out a full sized tennis court. The mark fngs and net are placed as usual Filth CT soft ball without resiliency or a small bag filled with pebbles or beans is used instead of the regulation ball. The regular frame of tennis acket is employed b., is strung with slack cord or gut forming a pocket some what after the manner of a lacrosse stick The ball is served or return ed with a swinging motion of the arm or wrist and is in play until 1t touches the ground either in or out of court
 In other respects the and count f.~4 4f, is said to develop great speed and agility afld has proved extremely pop ular among tennis playersRwho are Earred by local conditions from play ing tennis in the usual manner.
