longest hits of the year, yet 1t does
not show in his record of home runs.
Pipp hit into the stands at the Polo
grounds recently and broke up ball
game, yet is not credited with home
run. This feature should be changed
so as to give the batsman credit.

FOUR RUNS SCORED ON
FOUR PITCHED BALLS.

Chick Hartley, an old-time ball {
player, who is now a cop in Phil :
adelphia, knows of game in
which four runs were scored on
four pitched balls. He played
in the contest, which took place 1
in the New York State league in
1913, between Troy and SYRIA
cuse. Owens pitched for SYRIA
cuse. Cranston hit the first ball ,
pitched for a home run. Move,
the second batter, smote the first
ball delivered to him for a sim
gle. Lumley did the same thing
on the first pitch to him. Hart
ley himself came to the bat next
and swatted the first ball for
homer, making a total of four
runs. Burchell then relieved
Owens. Troy won the game,
5 to 4, in 13 innings. Hartley
says this is a record.

time good. instruction can ever be
needed, it is now.
A dormitory for girls, courses in
Stenography and Bookkeeping, the

WASHINGTON, D. c. July 90
J. B. Densmore, Director General Of
Labor has written the managing
Editor of The Progressive concerning
the Government control of Labor, in
part as follows:
eve beg to direct your attention
to the plans of the U. S. Employment
Service, and to the great effect which
this program will have upon the in
dustrial life of the Nation.
"On August /, the supplying of war
industries with common labor will be
centralized in the U. S. Employment
Service of the Department of Labor,
and all independent recruiting of COM
mon labor by manufacturing having a
payroll of more than 100 men will be
diverted to the u S. Employment
Service. This is in accordance with
| the decision of the War Labor Poll
cies Board and approved by the Presi-
dent on Jpune II. CThe War Labor
Policies Board is composed of rep
resentatives of the War, Navy, and
Agricultural Department, the Ship
ping Board and the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, the War Industries
Board, and the Food, Fuel, and Rail
road Administrations It's chairman
is Felix Frankfurter, Assistant to. the
Secretary Of Labor.)
"The above action was found nee
essary to overcome a perilous short
age Of unskilled labor in war indus
tries. This shortage was aggravated
by an almost universal practice OF
labor stealing and poaching."

PRESIDENTS PEACE
FORMULA ONLY HOPE
British Labor Sends Message of
Confidence TO the American
People.

NEW YORK, July 24-The state
ment that British labor is behind
Premier Lloyd George in his recent
declaration that Germany ''can have
peace tomarrowD-if she will accept
President Wilson's formula for the
future government of the world, is
contained in a message to the Ameri-
can people from George N.Barns, labor
representative in the British war
cabinet. The message was made pub
lie through the American Alliance for
Labor and. Democracy. Ia part the
message reads:
at is generally felt that if the
Allied statesmen could make as clear
to the German people as President
Wilson has made it throughout the
war, and as Mr.. Churchill did in such
striking language on Independence
Day, that Germany's existence as an
organized state would be as safe in
the hands of league of nations as
tne existence of Great Britain and the
United States, the war might be
shortened by months if not by years.
s"The subject has been to a large
extent regarded as one upon which all
reasonable men were engaged. If the
Central powers viii only state that
they are prepared to meet this triple
announcement of war aims which are
held by the entente countries, then
at least the end of the war might be
said to be clearly in sight, if no act
ually prescnt."
