WASHINGTON. Nov. 16. - The War Industries Board made plain to automobile and accessories man ufacturers that, while their help is required, the government has no in- tention of taking any drastic action which would cripple their industry The extent of decrease in produc- ton, however, probably will be very substantial, to be effected gradu- ally as portions of plants are di- verted to the manufacture of shells, airplanes and other war necessities The plan is to divert part of each plant to the production of war ma terial. Motor and accessories man ufacturers will appoint a committee 70 work with the government in planning how big automobile fac tories can be of best service.

POP ANSON INSISTED ON HAVING PITCHERS WHO COULD HIT BALL

w F1O SOOGC f'tt DHGG
 In old Cap Anson's day a pitcher was not the pampered marvel he is today. He wasn't with old Pop any way. Pitchers at that time were not able to hit much better than they can today. But what Pop An son liked was a pitcher who could bat. Many young pitcher who could hurl a very neat game was turned down by Anson because "all he can do is pitch. He cant hit or field or run bases or anything else" The men that Pop hired as pitchers were large red-necked lads who could pound the ball to a pulp and play most any other position as well. There was nothing temperamental about them and they worked when Pop told them to get out there and work. Perhaps his pitchers had fewer subtle tricks and fancy frills than the star hurlers today, but they could lean on the pill and bring in runs and that's what Anson liked. John Tener, now president of the National League Ad Gumbert, Jack Luby and Walter Thornton were fine samples of the pichers Anson developed.

WAS THE GREATEST
 FIGHTER THAT LIVED

Willard, Jeffries and Johnson at their best may have been harder men to beat than Bob Fitzsimmons was, says Grantland Rice.
 They had the big hulk, which old Fitz lacked. But the main test of a fighting man should be inch for inch and pound for pound" Under this arrangement there isn't any question but that Fitz was the great est fighter that ever lived.
 Pound for pound he stood above them all as fighting machine. He was more effective, considering his weight, than Joe Cans or Terry Me Govern were.
 Cans and McGovern could meet and beat bigger men. But could Cans or McGovern spot champion 9 pounds and knock him out?
 Fitz was only middleweight tossed in among the toughest heavy weights of the last tw GOT three de- cades-Jefferies, Corbett, Sharkey Choynski, etc, and the only one of this crowd to hold him back was Jim Jeffries, who was from 50 to 60 pounds heavier-entirely too rugged for Fitz and his fading hands.
 There were heavyweights worthy the name in the days when Fitz huled and was dethroned

SAYS PITCHERS ONLY

AS far as comebacks go, Connie Mack says that pitchers are the on ly players who ever come back. Very few players I have tried out thoroughly and returned to the min ors have ever come back" says Connie AS a rule those that do get another chance in fast company and did make good are pitchers, because pitcher can always change his style. His brief stay in fast company may have taught him that he was using the wrong methods and if he has the right sort of head on him he will study the thing out for himself. I let Dave Danforth of the White Sox go because he did not have curve ball He hasn't one now either but when he went back to the minors he made good with the emery ball and when they stopped that he picked up a shine ball. I've known quite few pitch CTS to get by with the spitball when they had no other curve at all. Whenever I hear of pitcher coming back l always ask, What is he put ting on the ball?" Old Chief Ben der pitched three shut-outs in a row in a remarkable comeback and I'll make bet that he's got hold of the shine ball or something like it. The Chief is smart enough to mas ter anything of the sort in a short while, and it looks to me like that is what he's done."

SECOND DRAFT

Crowder Lays Plans Rating
Every Registerable
Mans Status.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
has solved the problem Of getting
registered men without cause of ex-
emption first into the army, aud cali
ing last those with dependents or in
dustrial need for them at home.
All the men in the second draft will
be divided into five classes.
Those in the first class win be those
without dependents or without any
industrial demand for them at home.
Those in the fifth class will be the
cripples and others who could under
any circumstances serve.
In between. in the second, third and
fourth class will be those who are
needed at home or in the trenches in
varying degrees.
The second class will not be called
until the first class is exhausted. the
third class will not be called until the
second is exhausted. eZc
This will not only simplify the draft
machinery but meet the objection of
farmers and munition makers.
Marshall General Crowder' an
nounced today:
That with the completion of the
draft Of the first army of 6s7. 900 men
a new system will be installed for the
CTedllOn OF succeeding armies Wnlcn
will greatly lessen the labors OF the
local and district boards. So far
has this been accomplished that 1t is

War Department Fears Leak
Following Sinking Of
Antilles.

The sinking of the transport An
titles with a loss ofsseventy lives fol-
lowed another leak of Information
into Germany with regard TO troop
movements.
The War Department took official
cognizance OF this yesterday with he
issue Of the following order:
ITO the commanding generals OF AL
National Guard divisions:
Communicate orders to each Or

sion that during the time they are in

that same days ago a clonel of a
National Guard regiment reported II
the governor of his State the arrival
of his force in France with a request
that the governor publish 1t. This
was done and the papers OF the State
in question announced the arrival OF
its contingent extensively, despite the
protests of the War Department 20

Joy and Sorrow.
This incident was published
broadcast over the country. Thi:
publication took to the Mexican
border the news that a transport
with 4 large contingent of troops
had just arrived in France. 1t ha:
been practically determined that
once news gets out of the United
States to the South, there are ways
for its communication to Germany
and it is this peril that makes the
government request such strict
compliance with the voluntary cen
sorship ruler with regard to the
movement OF troops.
No further news of the Antilles
sinking had been received at the
Navy Department up to a late houI
last night. It was explained that
all further details must be trans
mitted by wireless until the. sur.
vivors are landed and that the wire
less was being used no more thar
necessary because its use reveals the
position of the sending vessel.
The department was even without

not know whether they were beins

American Field Headquarters in
France, Oct. 20.-Several million
dollars have been subscribed by
American troops in France to the
liberty loan.
The total will be announced Tues
day from Washington after the

Gen. Pershing issued a proclama-

tions upon patriotic grounds.
Promptly there began an eager race
between the various units for the
highest total subscribed, every man
and officer taking enthusiastic
pride in each new dollar coming in.
Just at this moment the heavy
artillery is leading all other units
with total of about $500, 10000. In

LEAVE CREWS TO PERISH.
Admits Twelve Were sunk.

Admits Twelve Were sunk.
The German navy by this act
once more has further degraded
itself by this disregard Of the his
toric chivalry Of the sea"
The German admiralty asserts
that twelve vessels. including two
modern destroyers, were sunk
within territorial waters in the
neighborhood OF the Shetland Is
lands" and that only one nshing
steamer escaped. Both these asser-
tions are disputed by the British
admiralty.
The British official account states
the encounter took place midway
between Shetland Islands and the
Norwegian coast"
Our fght!ng forces" concludes
the German account. returned
without loss or damage"
The belief prevails that the
twelve Scandinavian ships. presum-
ably laden with foodsufs, were
conveyed for the greater part Of
the voyage from a Norwegian port
by more than the two warships
mentioned and that upon nearing
the shetland Islands all but the two
destroyers d eta h e themselves
from the merchantmen, believing
them more or less safe. The usual
practice for ships coming to Eng
land from Norway is TO dash as
fast as possible scross the North
Sea to within safe distance from
the rugged Shetland coast strip
and then hug territorial waters un-
til Kirkwal is reached.
The nearest Norwegian port from
the Shetland Islands is Bergen. $50
miles to the east. From Bergen TO
Kirkwall the distance is 500 miles.
The dash OF the Teuton raiders to
the waters where the fray took
place requires between 500 and 900
miles either from the western exit
OF the Kiel Canal or around the
Skaggerak.
