No American Atrocities.

1t is a curious commentary upon the
power of rumor to gain circulation
that the Committee OF Public Infor-
nation at Washington has found Il
necessary to issue a warning against
giving credenee to- tales to the gen
eral effect that American soldiers
have been guilty of mistreating Ger
man prisoners; that they have killed
many who had surrendered, and that
in one case in point, IAN American
division killed l5o prisoners in retalia-
ton for alleged breaches of the laws
of war by Germans in action" The
story in question had been told with
circumstantial detail. The vicinity OF
Rheims was named as the place and
July Is as the time. But the War De-
psrtment has fully Investigated and
has found that there is not word
of truth in II.

1t would not be surprising to find

BAN ADVISES
TO MOVE SLOW
American League Pilot
Claims Big Game Over
There Is Not Over.

Even II Germany ends the war by
quitting cold in the near future. Presi-
dent Ban johnson, of the American
League, says that IL will be wise to
proceed slowly in making plans for a
resumption of baseball pennant races
next year Johnson declares that the
major leagues must patiently wait
for a return of former conditions.
He seems to think that II will be in
advisable to adopt playing schedules
before the leagues know how many
first class players can be signed for
1918. Big Bans idea Is to remain in
active until next February, when the
club owners then will have a much
better line on the future of the ma
tionai pastime.
Jack Barry, former star of the
Mackmen and later manager of the
Boston Red Sox. is confined to the
Stillman Infirmary at Cambridge, suf-
fering from water on the knee. The
injury Is the result of fall which
Barry sustained several days ago.
He is a student of the Officers Ma
terial School. conducted by the navy
al Harvard University, and hopes to
obtain a commission as ensign. The
injury is said to be of the nature that
may keep Barry from ever again be-
ing able to hold place in major
league baseball, should he desire to
return to the game at the close of
the war. Barry did little playing dur
ing the past season, and in view of
the fact that he is about 30 years of
age. it seems doubtful that he ever
will play major league ball again.

ana the partisan spectators imme-
diately developed and there was a
rush for the umpire. After much
argument the arbiter declared the
scored. basing his decision upon the
fact that both the pitcher and
catcher were in their respective
positions when the ball was thrown
up to the plate. Not satisfied with
this ruling the losing team took tho
case to high baseball authorities,
who after a careful study of the cir
cumstances. reversed the umpire's
verdict. 1t was their desision,
which has generally been accepted
as correct, that the runner attempt
ing to score from third, was out
owing to the interference of the
batter, who by hitting the ball
thrown to complete the play at the
plate. prevented the putout being
accomplished.
The rule governing this case is
found in the official baseball code
under rule 56, section Is. which
reads: The base runner is out. If
with one or no one out and a base
runner on third base, the batsman
interfered with play being made

still three men on base, one out and
the player who drove out the alleged
home run comes to Dat in regular

having resulted in putting out the
base runner without affecting his
status as a batsman. A somewhat
similar case is quoted in Umpire
