 Ralph Comstock went in as relief hurler yesterday and won the game for Pittsburg after Sanders had been knocked out. Comn1y is coming along nicely in the majors, thank you. Red Smith broke into the lineup for the first time yesterday, relieving Schmidt in that first game. The Pirates got 21 bing1es so those ex-Barons must have been slamming the ball a whole lot.

 Canada's experience with the nation al game was rather unique. 1mmedIte- ly after war was declared by Great Britain, baseball in the North American province fell of to almost nothing and crowds in Toronto and other Canadian cities resemhled in size those that have been witnessing the games at Redwood this spring. But this year, with the long lists of dead and wounded com ing in from the battle front every day, the Canadian public felt the need for some diversion that would keep their minds temporarily off the horrors of war.
 Baseball magnates timidly opened the season in Toronto this spring and inn agine their qualification at finding 10,- 900 fans in the park on openSlg day. A few weeks later the team returned from road trip and played to 5000 more at the Toronto grounds. Baseball officials point to Canada s experience as basis for their conten- ton that warning countries need sports to bolster their mental efficiency and
 morale.

The Jugoslays of Austria

From "Magyars and Jugoslavs," by Don- ald Paige Frary, in the American Re- View Of Sevle.-s.
 At the very roots of the present war is the question of the South Slavs. The treatment of the South Slavs in the dual monarchy has made their land~the AL ce-Lorraine of southeastern Europe. The narrow tyranny of an unrepresen- tatlve Magyar ruling caste is chiefly re- sponsible for poisoning the relation of Austria with Italy, Russia and Turkey. and for keeping the Balkans perpetually embroiled Unless the national rights of the Jugoslavs are now recognized, the present conflict will be only bloody episode, and the series of international crises begun in 1878 will continue little changed.
 A problem which involves the pros perity and political rights of the 100000 South Slavs of the Balkans and in Austria Hungary cannot be simple. Not only are the Slovenes, Serbs and Croats of Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia, Carniola, Dalmatia and Bosnia Herzegovina, an un- q assimilated tertium quid in the dual nonarchv: n wide differences separate them from one another and from the Slavs of Serbia and Montenegro
 The Jugoslavic race is itself dual one The two branches foster a Pan Croat as we'll as a Pan-Serb ideal Al most without exception every Serb is orthodox Greek and every Crest IS Ro- man Catholic. and in this diversity lies the cause of long and fatal dssension. Despite these differences there has been since the renascence of Serbia, about 1903, a movement toward South Slavic unity under the leadership of Serbia, cul- n.inating in the declaratiQn of Corfu. Such a union would, if the breach be- tween Bulgaria and Serbia could be healed, embrace the whole Balkan penin- sula between South Caripthia and Cen tral Thrace-

Severe on Food Hoarders

From the Peoples Home Journal. An English war measnre has grown out of the scarcity of gasoline or petrol. as they call it in Europe, forbids un- necessary motoring. Under this law a farmer and his son recently were fined a small sum for driving their car to church. Owners of motor cars in Eng land, since the passage of the war meas
 ure, have been allotted each month enough petrol for their actual business needs. The accused farmers pleaded they had economfzed on their monthly allowance of petrol so they would have sufficient for the Sabba tn trip to church. The court held, in finding them guilty, that the economy was commendable, but that it was negatived by the subsequent use of the perol for an unnecessary pur- pose. 1t was not the courts purpose to call going to church unnecessary. The defendants should have walked, the court said.
 bus driver was fined $25 for hauling a team of football players to a Country club, and a taxicab chauffeur was fined s25o for permitting his car to be used as a hearse for a dead dog. The dog be- longed to Sir Maurice and Lady Aneer- son. They hired the taxicab to take them and the dog to a canine cemetery. The court told the chauffeur he had connived with Lady Anderson to put sickly sentiment above patriotism. There was no law under which Sir Maurice and Lady Anderson could be punished.
 One woman was fined for feeding grain to birds and another for cleaning wall paper with bread. A prosperous business man of Plymouth was fiaed $50 for hoarding food. The police found large store of flour. sugar and canned goods in the house Tn spite of the large quantity Of flour found. the family was receiving bread from bakery each day. In addition to the fine the authorities confiscated the stored supplies. A Liver pool merchant. who secretly boarded a large quantity of sugar and tea for his own use. was fined s250

The one task ahead of the civilized world is

There will be neither peace nor guarantee of
peace until Germany is crushed. Other consid-
