STEEL INDUSTRY IS RESPONDING ID CALL
Cool Weather Materially Assists
 iD Large Output Of Stock

New York, July 1I.-Thc Iron Age this week will say;
 The steel industry. helped by cool weather, continues to make an unex- pcctedly good response 10 the call for war steel. At number of coke works and steel mills employees kept at work on July 1 in response to Gov crnment appeal. Due to the good stocks of finished steel various man ufncturing consumers had on hand and the efforts at Washington to pre- vent drastic curtailmcntS, shut downs for lack of iron and steel have been
 rare in mct1lvcrkin2 lines. How ever. this week, like f0thcrs. has
 brought fresh warnings of impending
 restrictions.
 Recently signs have increased of d better morale at iron and steel works, the stimulus to ship production hav- ing apparently worked back to raw material SOurceS
 The conferences of steel manufoc- tnrerS and a special prjr~-tiNing com mittcr at NnshmGton July 2 brought disagreement on all the products con- stdered. on rails the makers thcm- selves were at odds, The $51 price for open hearth rails, at which some sales have been made this year, was favored by large interests. while others held out for $6O. Government representatives proposed figure much lower than either. The steel makers will meet July 15 in New York in ;,n effort to agree among them selves.
 The effort to fix wire rope prices is attended with much cost compiling. The Navy Department is now the sole obstacle 10 agreement here. A fur ther meeting must be held also on hiGh-specd tool steel. the views of the manufacturers and the Government representatives diVCrGinG widely. The uroS were not acceptable to the steel makers
 steel manufacturers have some dis crction in giving steel to customers on the preference list, but buyers who represent non essential lines. those covered by a newly created class D. will only get material after the steol manufacturer has applied for and re- crived permission from Washington.
 The bar iron situation is easier and some mills can take commercial or ders for delivery in three to four months

N<GRAW GIVES ADVICE.
Says Players Ought to Practice as
 They Play.

rittShurgh, July 1.--"Ir player will only practice as he plays, that, put as much effort in to his prclimin- ary stunts as he docs into his work, be it batting or pitching, in d game, he will have no trouble in keeping in excellent shape and will. at the same time make himself better ball player"
 That is the theory of John NrCtrMW and though it is on the face of it, d sound and logical theory. he com plains that there are few bali players today who adhere to it.
 "ln the days when l was ;t plaNcr,' he said. i've practiced hard all the time. We'd go out to the ball pnrll in the mornings, even whom it was not compulsory for us to do so, and prNc- tiro at tp speed for d couple of hours game. Nowadays you'n see players even d few minutes before game time just lobbing the ball around with scarcely any effort. Pitchers warm ing up have a habit of tossing the klll to the catcher instead of putting something on it. ~No wonder they cant pitch as they ought to-
 "l have had a few players in recent years who put their hearts into their work, be 1t in practice or in games. One of them is Arthur Fletcher who never loafs on a bail field. Little Bon ny kaum was another player whom | never bad to spur on to make him go at top speed and Fred McrI1lc is Of the same type. If moro ball players had the spirit of these fellows we'd see more real baseball today than we -dO."

much right to ask for recognition as the logical contender for Willard S title as either Dempsey or Fulton And, considering his performances against both these men, Miske is quite warranted in commandinc at tCntion.
 some time in the near future Dempsey and Fulton will meet in hattie. Tn" match is a ''naturaT' one. It lS bound to come to pass. And in all probability 1t will be staged in New Jersey. Miskc plans to inject hlms"lf bodily right into the situa- ton and demand that both Fulton and Dempsey meet him before thc% light each other.
 In order to create popular opinion in his favor Mislc proposes to fight around here and defeat every man he is stacked against. By SO doing he figures that he will convince boxing fans in the East that lie i$ worthy of a rating at par with Frederick and Jackie.
 Miskc begins this campaign for recognition on Friday night In the Jersey CGty ball park. the same place where Frankie Burns, the veteran challenger for the bantam weight titIe defeated Pete lI<idD Herman, the recognized holder, Miske will meet GunboUt smith. This will he his initial test.
 Next Monday night Billy will en- gage in another contest. And this one will be even more important for him than the smith match At the Armo"y A, X. in Jersey City he will be pittcd against Bartley Madden, the crack Jersey heavyweight If NIs<e defeats Madden As decisive as he fig ureS to defeat smith he will strCngth- en his claims 10 a match with both Dempsey ami Fulton.

 Previous to that time Baker had played amateur baseball and like most youngsters he started out to be a pitcher He had the strength and speed, and he labored to perfect him self as q mOundSman, but never with much success.
 He says that there were dozens of "l<ids" on the lots Of his homo town who played better baseball than he did in those early days of his career, and among the star players in those days was nonc other than Charles Lincoln iIerHoP, who has been q fast friend of Bakers for many years.

views and rarely grants one, received {
few newspaper men at his headquarters
Tuesday Among those was the cor
respondent of the Telegraph, who thus
records the marshaPs brief utterances
"The British army is better than ever
1t fights better than ever. All of its
losses have been made good and it is a
more splendid army than it has been
before.
THE Americans are splendid and are
wonderfully gallant in the field. Ten
thousand fresh Americans arrive in
France every day.
THE French army is the same good
old army that it was in 1914 No more
is to be said
In discussing the general situation, the
marshal said
The enemy is shaken up and shaken
down, but is still holding out. You must
not think that we shall get to the Rhine
Immediately We have passed over the
crest and are now going down hill. If
we gather impetus as we go, like roll
ing ball, so much the better"
With few cordial words the marshal
then dismissed his interviewers and re-
sumed his work on his maps.
