1United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 31.-rf the Giants
maintain their present position at the
top of the heap in the National
league, it will be on account of
Ferdie Schupp southern paw finger.
Schupp's victory followed a victory
over Alexander in yesterdays second
game. His hurting placed the New
Yorkers firmly in first place. Schupp
has yet to be beaten this year and he
is Just couple of games behind the
consecutive winning record estab-
lished for the year by that other de-
mon off-hand delivery, Babe Ruth.
Schupp and Ruth, the two stellar left
handlers of the majors, are doing more
than any other factors to hold their
teams up. Ruth's hurting has placed
the Red Sox in first place. Schupp
has done the same thing for the
Giants.
The New York star is an overnight
sensation. Starting last fall, when
he contributed more than his share
to the winning streak pulled off by
the Giants, he is now counted one Of
the most brilliant figures in baseball.
His spot on the bench, worn smooth
by years Of inactivity, is now being
worn by the weather only.
Winning first place in the National
league by some other club apparently
is matter OF breaking Ferdie
Schupps' hypnotic influence over
baseball. Winning it in the American
league is matter OF beating Babe
Ruth.
Only one game will be played to-
day in the National. The American
will stage two matinees. If the
PhiIlies down the Pirates, they will
take the first by two points.
Vengeance came for the Yankees
when they twice BANKED the Ath-
letics.
Four hits were added to iris
Speakers average, while Ty Cobb's
day was cipher in that column.
Lee Magee showed his gratitude for
reinstatement by pounding out four
hits in ten appearances at the plate.
Brooklyn failed to score in eighteen
innings of endeavor against the
Braves.

VIM. S. Hart roniaht.

William S. Hart. the western char
acter actor featured in Truthful Tul-
liver" and "The Gun Fighter" will be
seen in somewhat different role than
his famous bad man" when THE
Square Deal Man." Triangle-Kay
Bee picture produced under the sup
ervision Of Thomas H. Ince. is pre-
scented at re HiItodrome theatre to-
night.
The Square Deal Man." which is
| the work of j. G. Hawks. Is a drama
/ of the western plains. 1t tells the
story of gambler who threw down
his cards for slip of girl and there
by won his greatest stake. Romantic
interest is stimulated by the part the
girl plays in turning the notorious
Jack o. Diamonds from the game OF
the roulette wheel to the MANAGEMENT
of a ranch which he has rightfully
won.
Hart as the square-jawed western
gambler displays that virility and
quiet forcefulness for which his work
is distinctive. While the role is not
that Of the murderous gun fighter, 1t Is
a characterization perfectly suited to
the star. He Is again the stern Wis
aged person who finds the six shooter
a solution to all difficulties.
In addition to this great attraction
will be shown the ever interesting
Pathe weekly and the latest Triangle
comedy. Popular prices will prevail.

REGULARS HIGHLY TRAINED.

Colonel Repinston Declares That Capa-
BILE General Staff Exists to Point Way
and That West Point Training and
Discipline Will Assert Themselves
Over Volunteer Army.
London.-Colonel Repington, the mil
itary correspondent Of the Times,
writes as follows in the course of an
article on the United States army:
'The United States army is a gallant
army, composed Of fine men, led by Off
GERS Of high attachments, but it is not
an army in the modern sense. Won
Hindenburg probably has Influenced
the German general staff's view of
American military power as Of no &C
count and probably will remain of no
account during the duration Of the
war;"
After describing the American army
and militia organization and stating
that the census Of 1910 showed 10000
600 men Of military age in the country
Colonel Repington proceeds as follows:
''The general staff Of the United
States army and the many prominent
American statesmen who have been
secretaries Of war or otherwise con-
nected with the army must have work
ed out long ago the plans to be follow
ed in the event Of such crisis as has
now arisen
Direct military Intervention of the
United States in the war in Europe is
not practicable, even were America to
desire it. The obvious course is to use
the highly trained regulars, particular
ly the officers, as the nucleus for vol
unteer army which should not form at
any one time a force larger than can
be properly trained.
eve cannot doubt in the light of past
experience in American military prac-
t1ce that in popular cause recruits
would flock to the colors by the hun
dreds Of thousands, but an army so
formed would be a hindrance rather
than help except in case of invasion,
to which the United States would hard
ly be exposed.
1.-The United States has one great adj
vantage. She is self contained and not
exposed to serious attack. She is pop
ulous and wealthy. Potential internal
difficulties may vanish if the country
be united.
"a capable general staff exists to
point out the way. West Point train
ing and discipline will assert them
selves over volunteer army grouped
around regulars and cadets. The war
industries which have been expanded
and created for the service of the bel
lgerents will be at Americas disposal.
IF she elects to aid the cause it will
prove for her that the old fire is not
extinct. If the aid of America will bt
more useful Immediately in finance and
on the seas the eventual employment
Of her army in support Of her policy
must be foreseen"
