SHOT AT CIGARETS
Italians Stuck Burning Stubs on Wire
While They Thanked Their Enemy.

Lieut.. Roberto de Violini of the
Sixth Alpine corps, one of Ita1y's IA
nous fighting forces, recently came to
this country on special mission for
his government AS the lieutenant is
a very forceful and eloquent speaker,
thoroly familiar with the fighting
front. he is much sought after by
cities, clubs and associations for ad-
dresses. He speaks perfect English
and tells many amusing as well as
thrilling incidents of the war in the
Alps.
A strategy that was resorted to in
the capture of an Austrian post was
described by Lieutenant Violini.
THE men lit cigarets and stuck
them on the bal bed wire in front of
the Austrian trenches" ne said. Then
they dropped down and made their
way to the flank of the Austrian di-
vision They found almost no one
there. and practically everybody was in
front, firing at the cigarets. We took
800 prisoners and machine guns and
other war materials whose use we
did not even know, so inferior were
we in the matter of Equipment"
He naively adds, perhaps the war
will remove much prejudice against
the cigaret.

News of Death Sentence Too
Much for Nicholas.
Was Unable To Rise From
Chair When Guard Came.
VAS PROPPED UP TO Be SHOT
Was Given Only Two Hours
Warning of Death.
Spent That Time With Priest
and Writing Letters.

Amsterdam, July 31.-Given two
hours in which to prepare for the end,
Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian
emperor, was taken out by his execu-
TONERS in such a state of collapse that
it was necessary to prop him against
post, says the Lokal Anzeiger of
Berlin, which claims to have received
from high Russian parsonage an ac-
count of the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at 5 o'clock
in the morning on, the day of his exc
cution by a patrol of one non-com-
missioned officer and six men. He
was taken to a room where the de-
cision of the Soviet government was
read to him. He was informed the
execution would be carried out in two
hours.
The former emperor. it says, re-
ceiVed the announcement of the SEN
tence of death with great calmness.
Collapsed After Hearing Verdict.
He returned to his bedroom and
collapsed in a chair. Aftev few
minutes he asked for a priest with
whom he was allowed to remain I'M
attended. Subsequently he wrote sew
eraI letters. When the escort arrived
to take him to the place of execution,
Nicholas attempted to rise from his
chair, but was not able. The priest
and a soldier were obliged to help him
get to his feet. The condemned man
descended the stairs with difficulty
and once he fell down.
As he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached, he-was propped against
| a post. He raised his hands and seem
ed to be trying to speak, but the rifles

he TRIED TO PITCH
king Collins Started His Baseball
Career as .Moundsman. a
BY JACK VEIOCK.

ID J<ANAN N1-IOOAA'
New York, July S1.-As soon as the
average urchin gets muscle enough to
toss a baseball around he begins
dreaming of himself as great
pitcher.
Practically every kid in the coun-
try has started out to be a pitcher. and
1t is only because of the fact that
pitchers are not grown on every tree
that the crop is no larger.
Frank Baker recently told Of start
ing his baseball career as a pitcher.
and now comes Eddie Collins, king of
second basemen, with a yarn in the
same key. Collins started playir g bail
around Tarrytown, n. Y. All the
youngsters in his gang were baseball
hounds, and Collins played the game
for pure love of it, just as all young
sters do.
AS time rolled on the present day
monarch of keystone sackers became
pretty fair as an amateur boxman,
but when he finally got TO playing
semi-professional ball he soon found
out that he was not cut out for
moundsman. He got some terrific
beatings while trying to win his way
to fame as a pitcher. and finally de-
cided that he would leave pitching
fame to some one who could earn it
and try to win himself a reputation as
an infielder.
So Eddie deserted the pitching
mound for the shortfield, and it was
as a shortstop that he broke into
prominence at Columbia university
He went to the Athletics short
stop, but after Connie Mack had
looked him over he was changed to
second base, and the change made
one of the worlds greatest ballplay-
er5 out of him.
