Expect y. Y. to Let Loose.

New York fans are hopeful that
the Giants pitching staff will pull
itself together and that the team as
a whole will start hitting. They
figure that Zimmerman and Kauff.

two games at Chicago, are about due
TO break loose with their bats. The
Giants confidently count on winning
the opener before the home crowd
and feel that the chances also viii

The followers of the western team,
however. flushed with two victories.
scent another one Tuesday. Having
looked over McGraw's best pitchers,
with the exception of Benton. and
found none OF them difficult TO hit.
the SON rOOters think that no matter
who goes in against Chicago the re-
suit will be the same.
Pitching possibilities are always Il
matter OF speculation. If Mgr Row
land starts CicOtte. McGraw may
send Sallee in TO oppose him. An
other possibility is Schupp against
Russell.
1t is probable that Rariden will do
the catching for New York, as

SELECTIVE FORCES
L. =. NOBTLIZING MORE TIL
100000 MEN-ON TO
FRANCE.

Washington. d. c.. Sept. 10
Marshaled for the last time as ci :
ians and under civilian autho Y
more than 100000 men of the IA
tional army are going forward touay
TO the 16 cantonments to be trained
for the battle against German autoc-
racy. Their next move will be as
fighting men toward the battle fields
of France.
The whole nation is astir with the
movement of the selective forces.
The men represent approximately As
per cent of the total quota under the
first call from each of nearly 5000
local boards. Already at the camps
is the advance guard of 5 per cent OF
the total. composed of experienced
men, including cooks. Out of this
has been created a skeleton organiZa-
ton into which the second increment
will begin to be absorbed with little
confusion. When the last men of
this increment arrive the camps will
house half of the first call forces, or
343.5O0 men, and the other half will
follow as rapidly as quarters can be
arranged.
In statement the war department
SAYS the enormous task of obtaining
equipment and supplies for the army
is moving satisfactorily. Some of the
men of the national army may be
only partially equipped for some time
after they are modified and no at
tempt will be made to furnish them
with full war equipment until the
eve of their departure for Europe.
Some civilian clothing. such as over
coats. have to be used for a time, as
the clothing industry has not as yet
caught up with its work
With the mobilization of one-halt
of the $4,000 men of the first call
under the selective service law in
progress the question arises as to
whether that number of men will be
sufficient to fill all units of the ma
tional guard and national army.
There are indications that a defic-
iency in men will be disclosed when
official reports from all the 30 train
ing camps are available.
