TO IGNORE
THE SHINE BALL
McGraw VIII Meet Cacotte's Ruse
With Ruse.
(By a Purnnan.)

. - " . - w lE-A
With the. Giants:-John McGraw
will meet psychology with psychology.
II Eddie Cicotte,s shine ball is
merely a ruse to keep opposing bat
ters guessing, McGPaw is ready to
meet that use and send his men
against the knuckleball artist with
confidence that he has nothing on
them.
McGraw will not admit it, but he
evidently had some inside bunch that
the remarkable success Of the shine
ball was due, rs Cicotte himself told
the writer, more to the belief Of the
oatsmap that he had something
phor1ey on the ball than to the fact
that he was actually using anything.
For weeks McGraw has been drill
Ing his players against the possibility
OF even considering that Cicotte or
Danforth are using a shine ball,
Cicotte. va
IT you think a pitcher has some
thing on you, he has" McGraw has
repeatedly warned his men.
The effect has been that the Giants
believe h shine ball is a myth and
are ready to combat it as such.
The shine ball is not botherins
me-" McGraw said. IF there is any
thing wrong with the bali it is up to
the umpires to look out for it and the
national commission to rule on it so
Tar as the world series goes. I don't
believe 1t does the players any, good
to worry about it,"
Since Ban johnson and the Ameri-
can league umpires, have seen
ut to. take any action against Cicotte's
ball this year 1t isn't likely it will be
ruled nj Of the world SERIES.
McGraw is very crafty. If he
thought there was anything WRONG
with the ball he would have a com
plant to make.
That he will not do is almost a
|foregone conclusion.

Unreservedly Place Inter
 ests in Presidents Hands to Prevent Strike.
PRESIDENT MEETS LABOR THURSDAY
Hope to Reach Agreement That Will Lead to Permanent Settlement of Strikes During the
 War.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Presdent Wilson today was given free hand by the railroads in his efforts to avert a strike for higher wages for en- gineers, conductors, trainmen and brakemen with whose representatives he will confer here Thursday.
 Formal announcement by the rail- road war board that the railroads were ready should any crisis arise, to place their interests unreservedly in the hands of the president for such disposistion he may determine is nee. essary in the public interest was ex- pected to clear away misunderstand- |ings of the four bortherhoods over the attitude of the roads which had caus- ed the unions to refuse to arbitrate the dispute.
 Crisis May Be Passed.
 Possibility of a stoppage in steady flow of commerce, thereby paralyzing the nations war preparations was be- lieved to have passed. They expected an agreement to lead the wage ques- tions to an impartial tribunal would result from Thursdays conference, and already suggestions for means to fore stall any further agitation concerning wages and conditions of work during the war, which, at the same time, would protect the worekers in main- taining their standards of life in the midst of war prices are under ,consid- eration.
 Higher Wage Inducements.
 Brotherhood officials have disclos- ed as serious situation in their discus sions with Judge Vim. L. Chambers, chairman of the United States Board of mediation and conciliation, who has been President Wilson's representa- tive in preliminary conferences with both sides. They said increased wages are necessary to maintain the operat ing personnel of the roads against the inducements of higher wages paid in other industries, which have govern ment contracts.

English and French Extend Artillery Activity on Western FrOnt-Ger- many Declines Lenine's
 Peace.
Associated Press Sumary.)


 While the Italians are holding the middle and lower reaches of the Piave river successfully against the Teu- tonic allied invaders and even have. thrown back the great portion iof those who crossed the stream, the en- emy is trying, with strong forces in the north to beat back the troops of General Diaz, pierce the line and force a retirement westward from the riv- CT, in the region of Vidor to the Ad- riatic sea. In this endeavor the in- vaders have captured several points of vantage, notably the village of Que TO and Monte Cornelle. and have com pelled the Italians under heavy bOm- bardment to evacuate their strongly portified position on Monte Tomba, almost the last stronghold barring the way to the northern edge of the Venetian plains.
 Captures Reported.
 These captures are reported by the German war office, but the admission had been made previously by Rome that the enemy was attacking in this regio with heavy effectiveness. Doubtless among them reinfOrce- ments which it had been known fov several weeks they weae hurrNing. southward. The Germans also ans nounce the taking of HOO prisoners during the fighting. sAsS
 Expect Allied Help. z
 Nothing as yet has been heard of the arrival of British and French re- Inducements to aid the Italians in holding. their line but the few days, was announced last week would have to elapse before they could reach the front have now passed, and itsis not improbable that soon the front in the north will perceptibly stiffen and bring to an end the inroads of the en-,S emy.
 All the enemy forces which last week crossed the river Piave near enson have been swept clear of the western hank by tn Italians. Large numbers of them met death along the eastern bank, or were drowhcd in their hurried attempt to ford the stream. Others were bayonetted or, forced to surrender, and it was only small part of the original force that was able to make it's way in safety.
 West Front Looks Active.
 No infantry action of importance has taken place along the western. fronts in Belgium and France, but i'm dications point to another attack by the British in Flanders and possibly by the French near Verdun. On both sectors bombardment is in pro- gress, that in Flanders extending from Paschendaele on past the French por sition on the British left and on tQs the Belgian coast. ss
 While tho Bolsheviks clement f11 Russia are threatening to make sG peace on their terms and thencefortf remain neutral in the war, dispatches from Petrograd are to the effect that the German emperor, has made t known that he will negotiate for peace only with the successor to the imperial Russian government or with Russian constituent assembly,
