 The postmaster general was equally emphatic in the statement of his de- sire to conserve the service and prop critics of the companies with a view of returning them, when called upon to do so, to the owners in as good condition as received and that it was his intention that tine owners receive inst compensation in the full sense for their use.
 The postmaster general, until other instructions are issued, desires that the conduct and operation shall con- tinue as heretofore and also states that no changes will be made until after consultation and full and careful consideration to all of you, who are identified with the Bell companies; who have shown your fine sense of ob- ligation and your loyalty and fidelity to the country, to the public service and to the property in the past, and to whom the credit is due for prestigt and position in the companies in the public eye.

AERIAL AcTNITY INCREASES

MYTH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, July 31 (By the Associated Press) Aerial activity was greatly ln- creased today owing to the fact that the weather, after several weeks of storms, cleared American aviators undertook reconnaissance missions, chiefly, but the pursuit machines also were up. The American fliers attacked two German scouts over Montsc. in the Woevre and drove one enemy plane down.
 The Germans put over a heavy bar rage in the Woevre sector this morn ing. IL lasted more than half an hour, and it is probable that they sent in- .fantly acrcss behind the barrage. But their fire was entirely wasted, as the positions had been evacuated.
 The destruction of a German balloon on July 29 has been verified and an other was brought down yesterday.

BALL PLAYERS ARE
NOT BEST THROWERS
OF HAND GRENADES

Many people are under the impress
sioa that ball players would make the
ideal hand grenade throwers. But the
grenade throw and the baseball throw
are entirely dinererk
The grenade throw as used over
there is "A stiff-arm. overland swing.
The baseball throw, with the whip
like snap motion. is forbidden as dan
gerous As a mat tier of fact the Eng
fish cricket player is much better
fitted as Il grenadier than our dia-
mond stars, The motion used by the
cricket ''boUser' is exactly the same
s the grenade tossing motion.
The hand grenade is small BON
OF various shapes and usually
egg shaped. but slightly larger than
an egg. 1t is exploded with time
fuse in about three or four seconds
after setting off. This is done by pull
ing an extended string just before
the throw. The objection 10 the base
ball throw is that the sudden jerk
in bringing the arm forward often
causes the bomb 10 explode preme-
turely thus killing the pitcher in
stead of the ca tcher.
However. do not misunderstood US.
Even though the baseball throw and
the grenade throw are different. the
American soldier and ball player
make excellent grenade tossers, Even
though the throwing motion is not
the same, the same shoulder and
chest muscles come into play and
practically every American has an arm
developed for throwing. Then, too

ity to throw, as possessed by all Amer
leans and the English also. is a great
advantage, particularly when we real

MAGEE HAS WORN
MANY UNIFORMS

When 1t comes TO changing uni
forms Lee Magee has most major
league players tied to a post.
No player of prominence in the big
show has worn a wider assortment
OF uniforms than the little blond out
fielder who was Recently traded TO the
Cincinnati club by the Browns.
There are several players Who have
had versatile experiences, among
them being Johnny Evers. but inciud-
ing his experience in the Federal
league, Magee has Johnny faded.
Starting out with the ST. Louis
der Higgins for four years. He then
transferred his affections to the
Brooklyn Federals and got in on the
fat salaries that the Cards handed
right and left.
When the Feds busted up, Magee
was put on the market as bait to
tho highest bidder. and the Yankees
took him in for sum said to have
been $4,000. In addition they hand
ed him fat contract calling for more
than $4,000 per season.
For some reason Magee failed to
make good with New York. Naturally
Ia speedy and clever all-around ball
player, his inability to hit was q mys-
terry. ana he was nnaiiy disposed OF
TO the Browns in the deal which
brought Armando Marsans to the
Rupert fold, His recent shift to the
Reds is his fourth since leaving the
Cards.
Johnny Evers might have equailed

uniform this year as a member of

regalia of the Cubs. Braves and
Phillies, but this is his first year In
the American league, while Magee
will have seen service with two Amer
lean, two National and one Federal
league club when the 1918 season
ends.
Other players who have shifted
about are Hal Chase and Ed Ko-
netchy. Chase has been with the
Yankees. White Sox. Buffeds and the

New York, April Final arrange
ments for cementing together the
loosely formed organization Of the new
International league will be made
when the club owners meet in Buffalo

Although the makeup OF the circuit
was recently announced here. IL now
seems that the franchise has not been
actually granted to the Newark club.
James Price. formerly president OF
the old Newark club of the 1nterna-
tional league. stated today that al
though he had applied for a berth In
the new circuit he was not altogether
anxious about getting IL. It is be-
lieved that after Price made a trip
to Chicago where he had a conference
with Fl. Clay Smith, hacker of the New
ard club. he lost his interest in the
project because Smith did not care TO
go further with what had always been
a losing proposition.
Whether Newark is granted the re-
naming franchise in the new Interna-
tional league or not. there will be
eight clubs, according to John II. Far
rell, president of the new organiza-
ton. There are three other applicants,
he stated. John Whitman, well-kuown

that Stallings parted with two good
pitchers and got In partial exchange
for them a player who may cause
trouble on his team, meaning Her

silent in the face of criticisms, but
