humanities in between, that are local and petty and beyond power of des- cription. If the knowledge of these things does not inspire our people in the United States to become bitter endersl then they are hopeless and a lead pill for breakfast, before they eat their worthless heads off, will be about the right thing for them.
 Moreover, suffer no Hun to get blithe and gay with you over any, thing! but take rap at him with any, thing you can lay hands on. The time is coming, and now is, when the mis- erable whelps of pro-Huns and spies and propaganda-spreaders at home in America had better begin wearing their helmets, to get in practice, be- cause, if the people do not begin to handle those reptiles in a manner commensurate with their offenses, and do it NOW, be very sure that this ARMY will be perfectly "dee-lighted" to do it plenty when they get back, and do the work on their own time without pay. These are no idle words as you will see later, unless l mistake the cat eating cabbage just now.
 When WILL the great American Mutt get wise to the HUN! WHEN ? Pope we'll said that "the proper study for mankind is man." With equal certitude, it can now be said for all the Allied nations that the imperative study for them is the HUN! Knowl- edge is Power! also Safety. Noth- ing less will do; so get it now, instead of being sorry lateron.
 Oh, well before the sleepy tousled heads and grafters-at-any-price in Am erica DO wake up to the beastly half devil and half child, and devise the way whatever it may be to head him off and keep him from laying vio- lent, blood-stained paws q will not call them hands) on America, many thousands of us who voice the warning now will be voiceless and mute forever, so far as this race of men are con- cerned. But the hope of salvation lies in the millions who will come across after us, and see and know what We realize now, and return to tell our people face to face; then they will be- lieve the well-nigh unbelievable story of the Hun. It will then be written in letters of fire on their memories, and scared by sorrow into the marrow of their souls! Crosses on Flanders fields marking some loved ones grave will serve as constant reminders; and the cripple, hobbling around awaiting the day of the final Reaper, will not allow them to forget what once drunken Japansese diplomat said of the race of Americans;-"You are the smartest people in the world, but you are too damned slow" I say Amen! And, with it all, thank God l am an American! Pharisees please take mo- tice.
 Wishing you the best of luck, ever your friend,

ELMER WELSH MAKES
 LARGE SHIPMENT NOHA|R

Elmer Welsh Tuesday last brought in from his ranch on the east side of the Wallapai mountain 55S0 pounds of Mohair, which he shipped to the east. Mohair just now is high in price, and as this shipment is of fine grade it will probably bring higher price than other grades.
 MT. Welsh has been accumulating a big herd of goats and now has one of the best ranches in northern Arizona.

Chaze. according to Mitchell, Is a

Yet the Cubs pilot holds that none

Mitchell should know whereof he

Chase is n Of the greatest first

Mitchell aeserts. %"I don't think there
is a mar who ever played the game
that covers the bag the way he does.
Charles Coniskey was the first man
to play off the bag. Most men fol-
lowed his system, but Chase improved
on 1t. Chase plays first the way no
other man in the game does. He can
do so because he starts quicker on
the ball than any other fielder and
can get over to first with more speed
in taking a thrown ball. Therefore
he plays deeper than Comiskeyl does.
Besides he is closer to second base
and covers much Of the second base
mans territory. That 10 where he has
other first basemen discounted. BY
iplaying back so far he. can 20 into

the old time backstops were unable
to accustom themselves to the mask
when it arrived. :.
One of these was Bill Harbridge
of the Philadeiphias, who made sew
eral attempts to catch with the mask
on and each time threw it of In dis
gust and caught with his ace un-
not see the ball through the wires
of h mask.
But most OF the backstops well
coined the mask and preserved their
features by its use.
Up to 1880 the batter vas out if
the catcher got the t~hird~sstrike on
the bound or II a foul was caught on
the first bound. but the rules were
changed in that year by which. the
or a foul. was done away with. and
the catchers were compelled to 20
up behind the bat as soon as the
batter had two strikes. =.
Catcher Moved Up in 1901.
4 In 1901 a rule was passed to the
effect that the catcher must stay be-
hind the bat all the time and must
play within ten feet Of the batsman.
The American league in that year
amended the rule so as to leave out
the ten foot clause, and from that
day to this the backstops have
squatted behind the hfeters.
But they were amply protected In
that year, and the arn,or they wore
has een added to and improved SO
that the catcher of today has only
m vulnerable spot and that is hi,
throwing hand. He wears a glove
~ large as a ham on his catching
hand has a pneumatic pad that COW
ers his body from throat to knees
and then wears leg pads from his
knees to his ankles. with heavy leath.
er cups over his kneecaps.
The masks TO- worn r so strone
and well made hat it is impossible
for a ball to reach the catcher's face
AS the case stands. the catcher is
not so much in danger as the pitcher
who frequently has trouble lodging
line hits and vicious grounders. But
the old timers Of the backstop bri.
gade. who played for years without
any defensive armor at all, carried
the marks Of battle to the grave.
