Uncle Sam Fights Germany
With Propaganda of Truth

With the Russian situation, the ad-
ministration has dlfnculty IN communi-
cation, inasmuch as the Bolshevlki con-
troll the main arternes out Of Moscow
and Petrograd However, constant news
matter showing the American viewpoint
is being sent 20 Russia via France, and
Is being distributed as best It may. The
American military attaches, apparently
acting under Ambassador Francis lndi-
vidual instructions have undertaken in
dependent propaganda there, but appar-
emily with boomerang results.
Switzerland, a hotbed Of German
propaganda was being flooded with evil
tales about American intentions, but
this has been offset by an official COM
municatlon 10 Switzerland showing
there will be no overruning Of Swiss
neutrality Meantime Rumanla Is being
heariened by promises Of American aiC
and actual contributions in the way OF
/ loans.

OUTFIELDERS WASTE
POWER In PEGGING

New York, April 2s-The ball club
which is taught to take every advantage
on the bases keeps an eagle eye on op-
posing outfelders every time a ball is
hit into the pastures for the very good
reason that many Outfielders waste a
lot of arm power in useless pegging.
Trying to cut runners down at third
base from right field, or right center.
when the chances are ten to one against
nipping the man, is a habit with a good
many fielders. and no matter how much
they are told they try the long peg
while the runner who hits the ball
reaches second on the play and the run
ner beating it for third makes his bag.
thereby putting the club at bat in a posi-
ton to score two runs.
You might not believe that big league
outfelders pull this kind OF stuff. But
they do. Many of them make the long.
high peg from right or right center to
third, and allow the base-runner who
has just walloped the pill to reach sec
ond. A low throw on the hop past the
second sack is the only safe throw to
make in cases OF this kind, for the low
throw gives the second baseman a chance
to grab the ball or turns the runner
who has just pelted the pill back to first.
And the chance to get the runner trying
fer third is almost as good il the ball
Isn't grabbed of by the guardian Of
the keystone sack.

OMAR KHAYYAM WILL
RACE AT LOUISVILLE

Louisville, KY, April 2s.-Although the
race meeting OF the Louisville Jockey
Club will not commence until May r.
when the Kentucky Derby will be decided
at the Churchill Downs course, every stan
Is now occupied. and the track is crowded
with horses getting their preparation for
the running OF the different rich sake
events.
Attention is ceutered in the trial Of the
Derby candidates. which has an increas-
ed money value this year. Several of
the best thoroughbreds in the East and
West will >so TO the post in this big
event.
Omar Khayyam, the imported son of
Marco and Lisma, which will carry the
colors Of johnson ard Billings in the
Derby, has justified all the good things
said about him by those who saw him in
training at New Orleans and Hot Springs.
Recently he was set down for fast trial
at one mile The colt worked the distance
in l:f4 So, which is one of the best show
ings at the distance yet witnessed at
the course this spring.
Charles Borel was in the saddle and
the colt broke from the grand stand and
running like a pieGe of oiled machinery,
with head erect. he sped around the oval
at a fast, but even gait, and in a man.
ner that impressed the ''Taibirds." He
finished his task sound and strong and
cooled out nicely After the trial it was
the general opinion that Omar khay-
yam will nave 20 be given serious con-
sideration in Derby calculations.

CONFIDENCE COUNTS
In BASEBALL GAME

Philadelphia, April 2S-Conidence is
one OF the greatest assets that any
ball club can have. Confidence keeps
up the spirits of the players. and in
many a game that would be hopelessly
lost by a club without nerve. the con-
ident ball club comes. from behind and
cops the bacon.
Such a club is the Boston Fed Sox.
They are as full of confidence as the
world Is OF war. and they show it to
the extent of coCkiness on the field
Jack Barry can thank his stars that
he fell heir to such a club, and If he
can hold up the confident spirit that
his club showed as the season opened
he will be in there fighting all comers
did in 1915 and 1916.
Confidence affects the offensive and
defensive strength OF a ball club in a
noticeable way. The players show
more pepper at bat and on the bases,
and they work more smoothly in the
field ~ costly error in a pinch doesn't
rattle them, for when they give away
runs through boots they settle down
to get them back with a solemn de-
termination that keeps them fighting
every inch of the way.
The Red Sox are the worlds cham
piOns. and on the field they look every
inch the part. The row they have to
hoe this year is undoubtedly tougher
than in 1916. but the club that beats
Boston out must play both brilliant
and consistent ball. And it must have
something on the Red Sox in winning
the close ones.

Schupp and Middleton
Will Boost Giants Staff

New York. April 2S.-Manager McGraw
of the Giants is looking to Freddie
Schupp and Jimmy Middleton to solve
the one problem that confronted him as
the Giants entered the National League
race this year-that of rounding out the
pitching staff.
Despite the fact that the Giants start
ed their campaign rated as prime favor
ties for the pennant, McGraw had a faint
misgiving regarding his pitching staff, for
he could not be sure that his veterans
Benton. Perritt. Sallee, and Tesreau,
would all be there in the tight places. He
was not sure that these four seasoned
hurlers would all hold up. and he staked
his chances on his two young pitchers.
Schupp's remarkable pitching during
the latter part ot 1915 was revelation to
the National League, for it is seldom that
young left handler ever shows the nerve
and the control that was shown by Fer
dinand, especially during the long series
in which the Giants established the
worlds record for consecutive victories.
Middleton, with a world of minor
league experience and a record a mile
long to back him up, has been rated the
best pitching prospect of the year.
