WILSON TO REPLY
TO OHERTL|NG AFTER
CzERN|N SPEAKS
Germany Must Modify Russian
Terms Before Even Dis
cuSsing Peace.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Presiden,
Wilson will likely reply TO German
Imperial Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech. but It is believed to-day in
Official circles that he will not do so
until Count Czernin, Foreign Minister
OF Austria Hungary. delivers his
promised address, and until he Is in
formed OF England and Frances atu-
tudo on the latest German utterance.
To-day washington's attitude seems
to be:
That any discussion OF peace
terms must include Russia and
all other portions OF the war map.
That IL must be definitely
agreed that tho re.ereotion Of
Belgium and the return Of North
orn France 10 final and not sven
disoussable.
That there must be certain deh-
mite commitments made by Ger
many in the acceptance OF the
four principles. which must be ac-
cepted outright and not merely
defined as being open to consid-
eratlon.
That any self expression" OF
various nationalitiss must be made
to the world and not 10 Germany.
and must be conducted under
auspices other than the German
conquerors.
Because these preliminary condi-
tlons to further negotiations were
strlkingly absent In the treaty Of
fered Russia, IA grave question has
arisen here as to the sincerity OF the
German Chancellor's speech,
II the address was intended to turn
American thoughts from war to
peace, 1t failed.
1t can be said II Germany hopes ID
apply tho principles laid down by
President Wilson without taking
Russia into consideration she has
erred.
Tho reconstruction OF the world
must be begun from the conditions
which prevailed at tho beginning OF
the war. The faults which existed
then and which made the present wal
possible must be corrected.
The acceptance" OF tho Presi.
dents principles is FAR from being
enough TO constitute oven tho begin,
ming Of a step toward peace. VITA
tho acceptance Of tho principle mus
go the full acceptance of their es.
sential concomitants. and in tha,
class lie Belgium and Northern
France, 10 say nothing OF Russia

tions Of the war map that Germany
has drawn.

ERRORS LAID TO WRONG MEN
Muffs by Third 6aseman Often Blamed
on Man Throwing Ball-one
Instance Cited.

To a man in the press box it seems
there is too much of disposition to
give wild throws to players on almost
anything that another player fails to
hold, says Detroit Free Press.
Take third baseman for instance.
He is supposed to stop hard grounders
and If he doesn't he will be CHARGED
with an error. Yet very often when a
catcher Or an outfielder hurls the ball
to the third baseman and it gets away
from him and the throw is not square
~ in his glove, the error is charged to
the man throwing the ball when as a
matter of feet the third baseman
should be penalized with muff.
1t is too often taken for granted that
throw is bad because a baseman
doesn't hold it. The Pills once had
the greatest booting third baseman in
the world. He was spike shy and
afraid to put the ball on the runner.
Cravath and Paskert would whip hard
accurate throws straight to the third
baseman, who would deliberately get
out of the way, make a feeble stab,
perhaps bat the ball down little, and
the outfielder would get an e.ror Ia It
he didn't deserve. When this player
was sent elsewhere, the fielding aver
ages of Cravath and Paskert leaned
forward

THIS OLD TIMER WOULD PRAY
Mickey WEIGH, Once Famous Pitcher
With Giants, Relied on Religion
in Tight Pinches.

Veteran fans will recall that famous.
old-time New York Giant pitcher by
the name of Michael (Mickey) WEIGH.
The New York roster shows that he
twirled for that noted club from the
years 1888 to 1892, inclusive.
WEIGH was religious man. We
have this on the word of man who
caught him on a club in New York
state before Mickey reached the big
brush. Here's the way this catcher,
whose name is Wilson, tells of his ex-
perience with WEIGH:
WED be in tight hole" says this
former catcher, land I'd see Mickev's
lips move. I'd Immediately set myself
for the shock, because / knew he was
going to send across the swiftest he
had in his collection. And when say
swift mean one that would take a
fellow off his pins if he wasn't ready.
Mickey always said a prayer when in
a tight place."

SHORTSTOP CATION IS CLASSY
Pirate Fans Are Loud in Praise of
Diminutive Short FieIder-ls
Dangerous Hitter.

In kid Cation, their diminutive
shortstop, the Pirates have an infield-
er of no little class, and Pittsburgh
fans are loud in their praise of him.
Cation, who was obtained from the Biz
mingham club Of the Southern associ-
alton last summer and who played in
a few games toward the latter end of
the 1917 National league campaign, is
perhaps the smallest player in the ma
1or leagues. However, he has a lot
OF energy stored up in his compact
frame, and he covers a wide range of
territory in the short field. In addi-
ton, he is dangerous hitter and
seems destined to become a star in
time.
Jackson County journal. (Sylva, N.C.) 19??-19??, 1918-09-06

Ollie OMara, the little blond in
fielder Of the Robins, is covering his
position at the far corner of the dia-
mond as though he had always been
a third baseman.
When Chuck Ward was secured
from the Pirates last winter Manager
Robbie ceased to worry about a guar
dian for the sack, but when Ward was
called to the colors Uncle Robbie de-
cided to give O'N1ara a trial at that
important position.
Although he had never before played
third base, Ollie jumped in and has
proved to be success in the field.
OMara's only weakness is batting. but
there is hope he will soon show i'm
provement in that department also.
