SHIP LEAGUE STANDS PAT.

The appeal Of Frank Miller Of the
Chester ship team of the Delaware
River Shipyard League, 10 secure an
other player TO take the place Of Ayau,
who was drafted, has met defeat. The
managers insisted that such a loophole
for iockeylng Of players, would lead TO
serious trouble and agreed to stand

President Sampson says that as this
was the FIRST season Of the league many
things have been overlooked and vio-
lations and infractions Of rules have
not been punished as they should. Tho
Delaware Shipbuilders' League is not
organized TO play baseball alone, and
the players receive no concessions not
granted TO other workmen. Sampson
claims that the other leagues TO be or
ganized later, football. soccer, basket

GAME LAWS SHOULD
BE STANDARDIZED

We have Federal laws protecting
migratory birds during certain periods.
and the Government has established
many reservations for them. But the
laws Of our various States are conflict
ing and confusion often results TO the
detriment Of the birds.
No better illustration Of this can be
found than with the robin. In the
North lt Is protected all the year around
as a songster. 10 comes TO the North
early In the spring and is looked after
and cared for until late in the fall II
then goes South, where several Of the
States allow II TO be killed, and It Is
actually sold in the open markets Of a
number Of Southern cities.
But the general attitude Of the peo-
pie toward the bird is changing for the
better IN all the States. South Included.
We are coming TO understand them
North and Southland with better I'M
derstanding there comes greater en-

Steel Leaguers Mix Up
Here Tomorrow Afternoon
With Many Stars Shining
WILLIAMS MAY BE
ONE OF TWIRLERS

With the big chief Fred Payne back
In the game and the band TO ''whoop''
It UP, the Harlan rooters just now are
feeling pretty confident Of the out
come Of tomorrow afternoons game
with Sparrow's Point. Payne was out
OF the game last week and some OF the
fans are demanding that he return to
the lineup They sort Of feel that with
the "big-un" back in the lineup there
will be more pep and life from the re-
mainder Of the team. II does seem as
though the manager has the power OF
putting more spirit into the game
when he Is in uniform and playing and
It may Just be that he will cover an
out1eld position tomorrow.
The band on its trip 10 Bethlehem
last Saturday made more noise than
all OF the Bethlehem rooters, but they
could not win the game. II took hits
that were lacking so the result went
against Harlan. But Payne's tactics
this week in having his veterans take
moro batting practice, 1t Is hoped, will
reshlt in a changed appearance this
week In addition 10 the band the
team Will have the benefit Of the home
rooters and there Is much more in1u
ence in this than is often given credit
for.
Monroe, the Sparrow's Point hurler,
Is another spitball artist The Har-
lanites have had considerable expert
ence In batting against spitball pitch
ers so there is no terror in that fact.
II Lefty Williams does not pitch for
liarlan's II will be Ray. Dumont is
sick. He has a bad cold and has been
working hard at the shipyard and he Is
out OF the game until next week.
Yesterday was a beauty day for most
snything and IL was taken advantage
of in the late afternoon and evening by
the ball players who got In some good
practice.
Last week there was a big demand
for peanuts by the crowd and 10 is Just
likely that the refreshment stand pro-
prietors may decide to accommodate
the public with peanuts this week.

40 Dutch Ships Here
ToBe Placed Under
u. s. Flag To-day

Up to late hour last night no step
had been taken by the Federal authori-
tes to gain physical possession of the
forty Dutch vessels lying in the Port
Of New York under the Presidents
proclamation authorizing their seizure.
A member of the Shipping Control
Board, which is to supervise the trans
fer, declared that nothing would be
done to place the vessels under the
American flag until to-day.
Guards have been on the liners for
week and they have been stripped
of most of their crews. so that the
actual transfer will be simple proc
ess Naval officers will go on board
each vessel, notify it's commander that
it is taken over in the name of the
American government and hoist the
American flag at its masthead An in
ventory of cargo, machinery and equip
ment will then be taken.
The Dutch seamen on board at the
time Of the seizure will receive suffi
cient time to make arrangements fol
quarters elsewhere before they will be
required to leave.
The forty vessels here represent E
total of 100000 tonnage. This includes
the largest Dutch ship here, the Ryn
dam, of 10000 tons, but does not take
in the liner Neuw Amsterdam, which
will be permitted to leave under a spe
cial arrangement.
The locations of the vessels are wide
ly scattered. There are ten in the
North River, ten along the Brooklyn
waterfront, and the rest at Hoboken
Bayonne. Jersey City, Long Island Cit.
and Yonkers.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 19.-General Pershlng,
the American commander in chief, has
approved the awarding Of the first new
American military crosses for extraor-
dnary heroism. The recipients are
Lieutenant John O. Green, Sergeant
William Norton and Sergeant Patrick
Walsh.
The crosses were awarded for "eX
traordnary heroism in connection with
military operations against ain armed
enemy"
Lieutenant Green probably will stand
on the records as the first to receive
the honor, for his name is first on the
list of three approved by the COM
mander in chief.

The exploits Of these men are de-
scribed by the general commanding
their division as follows:
Il recommend that the Distinguished d
Service Cross be awarded to the officer
and men named hereafter, who distin-
guished themselves by acts of cXtraor-
dinary hcroiSm.
"Lieutenant Green, while in a dug
out, having been wounded by an enemy
hand grenade was summoned to sur
render. He refused to do so. Return
ing the fire of the enemy, he wounded
one and pursued the hostile party.
Sergeant Norton, finding himself in
a dugout surrounded by the enemy
into which a grenade had just been
thrown, refused to surrender and made
hA1- y Ii l..
assailants. BY so doing he saved the
company's logbook.
sergeant Walsh followed his com
pany commander to the first lines ir
spite Of a severe barrage. The captain
being killed, he assumed command o,
the group and attacked a superio,
force of the enemy, inficting sever,
loss upon them. Though of advanced
age, he refused to leave the front"
To these recommendations Genera
Pershing appended the following:
"The commander in chief approve.
the recommendation for awards O

are not on hapd at present but will b.
forwarded when received and will b.
presented by you in the name Of th'
commander in chief. with suitable

alone on patrol duty.
This makes four machines with
which Putnam is officially credited,

machine on a German airdrome. This
was not seen by French observers and,
therefore, was not officially credited.
