Rare Occurrence in Baseball Game.

It happens occasionally in baseball that batsman goes out on strikes without taking his, bat off his shoul- der, but such a thing is rare except in the case of pitchers who are weak with the stick anyway. Slim Love performed the unusual at Shibe park recently when he pitched six consecu- tive strikes and set down two batsmen in this way. Both were outfielders who are supposed to hit. Jamieson was the first to face Slim in the eighth inning, and he was set down without taking swing. Kopp followed, and he carried his bat to the bench without making a swing either. Love was generously applauded by Quakertown fans for this feat.

caton a Good Man.

In Kid Caton, their diminutive shortstop. the Pirates have an in fielder of no little class, and Pitts burgh fans are loud in their praises Of him. Caton, who was obtained from the Birmingham club of the Southern Association last summer and who played in a few games toward the latter end of the 1917 National League campaign, is perhaps the smallest player In the major leagues. However he has lot of energy stored up in his compact frame, and he covers wide range of territory in the short field. In addition he is a dan gerous hitter and seems destined to become a star in time.

DECISION POSTPONED AGAIN. Press ot More Important Business
 Holds Up Ruling on Baseball.

Washington, July 25.-Pressure of other matters it was said tonight, has prevented Secretary Baker from for mulating his decision as to extension of the time of applying the work or fight regulations to professional base ball players. No indication of when the decision will be announced was available tonight.
 The report of Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder on the question and the brief submitted yesterday by repre- sentatives of the baseball industry were understood to have been con- sidered by Secretary Baker during the day. Both at the war department and among baseball men here there was a feeling that the recent order applying the work or fight regulations to base ball players would be revised, but to what extent was not known.

WASHINGTON. Feb.


Spain today is one Of the most i'm
portant and complex problems racing
the United States and the Allies.
Already she is feeling the teeth OF
Americas war determination in answer
to her interference with shipment OF
r eded supplies to General Pershinss 3

chant ships are idle In New YORK, rc1used

which cannot be questioned.
The Spaniards. 1t is said. are watch
ing the critical progress of the war with
keen eyes. II she enters she wants to be
on the winning side.
Her army is regarded as pro-German.
As IN every other country, the officers
of the army are greatly impressed by
the fetish of German military efficiency.
Many of them have been trained in
Germany and are thoroughly German
ophllc.
II is said that Spain has modern
rifles for 100000 men,. II Is asserted
that there are 7o,00o,000 reservists in
the country and that when the Spanish
army takes the field the burden of COM
mand will fall upon 10000 trained Ger
man officers ALREADY in the country and
their campaign well planned and every
man in his place"
In view of these conditions this Gov
ernment today is directly faced with the
task not only Of holding Spain to our
conceptions OF neutrality, but to keep
her from joining with Germany.
German submarines have been pro-
visioning and getting wireless informa-
tion along the Spanish coasts for many
months. Submarine crews have been
changed in Spanish harbors. American
agents kept track of the men on one
German boat in a Spanish harbor and
there was q regular weekly change in
personnel--brought about by spelling
U-boat crews.
