GOOD BASEBALL LEGISLATION.
John Camel Approves Abolition o.
Freak Deliveries by Pitchers.

| Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Ihe
abolition Of the sp!tball, emery ball and
other freak deliveries is the greatest
piece Of legislation ever adopted by
the American Association, in the opin-
ion of John Camel, manager OF the
Kansas City club.

is the logical thing to do and they will
all come to it. The American Associa-
ton simply made the start.
| With the spitball and the freak de-
liveries baseball has come to be sim
ply a matter of the skill OF the pitcher
Most Of the fans go to the ball park ia
watch the whole tes5S1 play, not to see
inst one two perform. One to
nothing games, with two or three hits
on each side, are not interesting to
watch. The fans like to see the play
ers hit the ball. When a player gets
In a pinch and knocks out q two-bag-
ger the fans make hero out OF him
This proves that they want to see &C
ton on the field.
And it stands to reason that if you
abolish the emery ball you must also
abolish the spitball-you must keep
the pitchers hands away from his
mouth, because 1t is easy for clever
pitcher to fool the umpire. He can
smooth one side Of the ball with spit
land roughen the other side with the
thumb and the ball will take two
foot hop when no throws 1t. Under
the new rules he will be forbidden te
spit on the ball, and any rousheneo
balls will be thrown out by the umpire
II 1t is shown that the ball was rough
ened by the pitcher. q $25 fine Will be
assessed"

Buckeye Waters,
l. {. SHkW'S HOPES REALIZED
Game Birds and Animals Also
Will Be Sh0Wn---County
Associations Invited.
l. {. SHAW'S HOPES REALIZED

Ohio soon will have a splendid
aquarium of its own and in it N. E.
Shaw, State Secretary of Agriculture.
will see the fulfil1ment of one of his
most cherished hopes. Mr.. Shaw al
ways has been a devotee of fishing,
and, of course, is just as fond of fish,
whether catching, eating or looking
at them.
For, many years he has labored to
make fishing good all over the state
and put fishing on a high plane OF
craftsmanship. He has been exceed
ingly active in fish propagation work.
He never loses thought of fish hatch
cries and is always on the alert to
see that the work of repopulating the
streams is carried to the fullest
extent. Mr.. Shaw also long has agi-
tated the building of an aquarium on
the state fair grounds.
The aquarium will be an absolute
reality during the coming state fair
the last week in August. 1t will be
in the former art hall, where 18 six
foot tanks have been erected for hous-
ing live fish. Ohio fish, such as bass
croppies, sturgeon, pickerel, muskel.
longe and the others, will be exhib.
tied. The display will be in charge ot
the state fish and game bureau.
There also will be display in the
same building of Ohio game birds ant
animals, including ringneck, golden
silver and other species of pheasants
wild ducks and geese, coons foxes
oppossums, skunks, mink. squire
and Others
Mr.. Shaw has been instrumental il
the work of organizing fish and gam
societies in practically every count,
of the state. These associations hav
been notified of the new aquarium AM
invited to visit it during the fair.

STOP. LOOK. AND LISTEN!


Stop! Recall how the brave Rus
sian armies were defeated for lack
of guns, munitions and supplies. The
Germans laughed at the Russian gov
ernment's failure to stand by its
fighting men. Let them have no such
mirth at our expense! Give our gov
ernment the support of our people,
our resources, and our money, so that
it can arm, EQUIP, supply, and main
Ia n our fighting men at the very
highest point of efficiency!
Look at the war map and see what
absolute devotion Of nations re-
sources to military purposes has ac-
complished for the enemy! Increase
production and lend money to the
United States, so that our support of
cur fight ng forces will equal if not
surpass that of Germany! 1t is bet
ter to spend cur money that way than
in paying Germany's war bills.
Listen to the call Of duty ard pa
triotism, and economize! Do you1
utmost in every way to win the wal
by increased production, by decreased
consumption, and by lending to the
government. Let nonessent:als go
make sacr fees! How little and in.
consequent they are compared with
the greatest purpose they help at
tain! How well worth making they
will appear when our troops come

own courage and ability, backed by
their unselfsh whole-hearted support
Of their nation.

MAN POWER

We read much of man power these
days; human power is a better term,
because it emphasizes the fact that
the women and children also consti-
tute a great factor in this war. In
the final victory every man, woman,
and child in America can and should
have part.
In comparing the man power of
Germany with that Of the United
States it must be borne in mind that
a much larger proportion of the man
ual labor of the man power of the
nation is performed by the Ger
man women than by the women
of America. 1t is said that in peace
times the women constituted AZ per
cent of the agricultural and indus
trial labor of Germany. They work
in the fields, in the factories, in the
mines, at the very hardest and most
laborious tasks, doing the work only
done by men in this country. With
great proportion of the German
men in the army, it is not improbable
that women now constitute by fal
the larger half of German manua
labor.
The women of the United States
are nobly, unselfshly, manfully, one
may say, bearing their share of th'
burdens of war. By the grace of Coz
and the power and courage of Amer
lea the fate of the German women il
not and will never be theirs. But i
will be with their assistance and co
operation and their full assumption
of the burdens and duties of the da.
that the United States is to exer
its full power in ridding the world o
that intolerable German kultur whicl
makes brute soldiers of the men an,
slaves of the women.

NEW BRAND GERMAN
- A


A new brand OF German propa-
ganda has come to light.
1t is directed against the automo
bile industry. A number of alarm
mo and malicious stories have broken
loose simultaneously in a dozen or
more Of the large cities. The purpose
Of all of them has been the same,
and that is to alarm the motoring
public as to the future of the motor
car.
One story that has been industri-
ously circulated was that there would
be a serious shortage of tires as
result of the embargo on crude rub,
Der. That this report is uniounded
is proved by the following informa-
ton offered by the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber company: Backed up by
Great Britain, Uncle Sam has prom
lsed the rubber trade in America
100000 tons Of overseas" rubber
this year. Last year American man
ufacturers used $1,000 tons above
100000. 1t is estimated the reserve
stock on hand in America the first
of the year amounted to $4,000 tons,
so added, to the 100000 tons guar
anteed her, America is really better
fixed now than last year.
Another Hun lie was to the effect
that, beginning July l, to save gaso-
line, the government would order the
discontinuance Of passenger cars on
Sunday for period of II continuous
Sundays. There is no shortage Of
gasoline yet in this country, and the

contemplating any action of an
alarming nature along this line.
| Probably the most harmful propa-
ganda now in circulation is: Keep
the heavy trucks off the highways
they are destroying them" This
story spread so quickly and so widely
IN one eastern state that the state
legislature actually almost passed g
law forbidding heavy trucks On it.
highways, and probably would have
done so but for the vigilance of mo-
tor truck owners.
To say that roads are bad because
motor trucks have been passing ove1
them is simply confession that the
roads are not properly built ant
maintained. In a survey recently
COHlpIeGSu ny JHe 1OOuEICA NdtlOH1
Touring Bureau it was found that i
is possible to build roads which viii
stand up under the heaviest moto
traffic. Such roads exist today AM
have for several years in the stat
of Connecticut.
Connecticut has furnished the ex
ample for the rest of the states. Sh
not only has excellent highway
throughout the state, but has carrie,
her roadwork right to the state line
of adjoining states, instead of stop
ping the work at the last importan
town, as is the unfortunate metho
in many states. She has given tn
lie to the insidious reports that truck
destroy highways. Connecticut say
that the right kind of roads. pror
erly maintained, will withstand tn
hardest truck traffic. More than tina
she has adopted the policy Of remoy
ing snow from her highways in tn
winter, so that she gets the use c
them for II months of the year.

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
ARRANGED FOR FAIR

Although the entire Ohio State Fair
this year will be consecrated to win
the-war activities, Wednesday of the
last week in August will be designated
as Patriotic Day, when there will be
special exercises in keeping with the
occasion. Many thousands of soldiers
are expected to attend the exposition
that day and to take part in the cere-
ronies.
There probably will be addresses
singing by all who care to join, flag
raising and other demonstrations.
1--WE want to give Ohio people who
attend the fair chance to give vent
to their patriotism" said Thomas F.
O'Mara, publicity director of the fair
who is arranging the demonstration.
