STRICT RULES FOR PLAYERS
Ball Tossers Who Trifie With Liquor
or Cigarettes May Be Handled
Severely.

The National league has started
something. The new code which the
players are supposed to follow is by
handed down by any league, and the
staid old National has set precedent
in framing 1t.
According to the new rules, National
league players who f1irt with whisky
to excess or burn too many cigarettes
to suit the ideas, of their managers
may be handled severely, and the
league will uphold any manager in
such a case.
Players must keep track of their
own baggage. They must keep their
uniforms clean. They must restrict
themselves to So per day for meals,
and they must live at any hotel the
club selects. They will not be allowed
to ride In taxicabs at the clubs ex-
pense.
If suspended by an umpire, play
er will be dealt with according to the
recommendations of President Tener
to the board of directors. There will
be no appeal from the decision Of the
board. In addition to this, the player
who receives an injury outside of the
service of his club will have to stand
for his salary being Topped off while
he is absent. And any player who
misbehaves in public, whether on or
off the field, is liable to fine and sus-
pension or both.
The new rules were adopted by the
league to improve the quality of the
game and to serve also as war meas
ure.
They show without doubt that the
magnates feel they have the whip
hand again. And with the Fed league
mere memory and the Players fra
ternity subdued, it looks as though
they have.

OLD .BASEBALLS ARE USEFUL
Yarn in Wornout Pills Good for Knit.
ting Sweaters for Soldier Boys
Now in France.

A new use has been found for used
baseballs, the discovery being made
by President Barney Dreyfuss of the
Pittsburgh Pirates when he recently
received a letter from patriotic
young woman reading as follows
"The young women of our assOcia-
ton are knitting sweaters, helmets,
socks and other articles for the boys
Of the American expeditionary force
in France. AS a special favor we are
going to ask you if you would kindly
donate to us all the wOrnOut baSeballs
that may come into the possession or
the Pittsburgh club this year.
"We have experimental with the
yarn inside of the professional balls
used by teams of the National league
and find that it cannot be excelled for
knitting work.
"If you can see your way clear to
grant this request we feel that you
will not only be doing US a great favor
but as well rendering patriotic serV'
ice for the American soldiers over
there"

ASK NO QUARTER
IN FIGHTS WITH

igating to certain port to pick up an
urgent cargo when the skipper, who
had been on the bridge for many
hours, saw the track of torpedo ap-
preaching his ship.
lizard a-port," he called to the quar-
termaster at the wheel, and Full
astern" was rung down to the engine
room, where Bob, "the third" was on
duty by himself. The ship spun
around on her heel, as 1t were, and
the torpedo passed her by. Then the
engine room bell changed for full
ahead, and down the voice-pipe into
BOb's ear came the insistent call for
speed and more speed.
By this time the chief engineer and
his staff were on the foot-plate, and
the ship, which ordinarily did eleven
knots at her top gait, fegan to cut up
the water at rate which would have
astonished her builders. From the
wireless the S o S call was sent out
and the gunner got busy, but the
U-boat was out of range and fire was
held until the pirate got closer, when
he was driven back again.
Fight Continues for Three Hours.
When the fight had continued for
four hours a shell from the steamer
fell amidships on the submarines star

board side, but this did not prevent
him from continuing the engagement.
The German kept trying to creep out
on the steamers port side. but the
master checkmated him each time and
continued to keep him dead astern.
When the sun began to set the Ger
man tried to maneuver so that the
steamers gunners would have to fire
into the eye Of the sun. But the
master prevented him from getting the
benefit of such a position until the
sun was obscured by clouds.
Throughout the engagement, which
lasted six hours, the German managed
to score only one hit. This shell
broke the steamers deck surface pipe,
punched a hole through the boat
SWANS and carpenters room without
touching two men who were there,
finally exploding in the second COOKS
room, which it wrecked. Apart from
this the steamer suffered no damage.
The last shell fred by the steamer
appeared to explode in the U-boat's
bow. whereupon the enemy turned
away and abandoned the action.
The masters opinion of his crew Is
expressed In the following words:
Specially Praises Engineers Staff.
"They all behaved splendidly and
carried out their various duties coolly
and with a will to save the ship. The
careful and deliberate shooting I'M
dOubtedly contributed to our success
full escape, while the chief engineer
and his staff, working in ignorance
down below, deserve special praise
for getting thirteen and an eighth
knots out of an unlocked ship, whose
usual speed is about eleven knots"

asked that there be no modesty among

Nor is Hendricks the type of man.

that he doesn't wish them repeated.
Unlike Fielder Jones, who pilots the

Hendricks does not keep a record Of

TO REFIT ARMIES FOR INDUSTRY

tai for agriculture after the war. These
holdings, he says, should be large
enough to enable the settler to grow
sufficient cereals and potatoes for HIM
self and family and to keep one or two
cows.
AS for the independent artisans In
class three, 1t would be for the inter-
ests of every community to do it's ut
most to attract labor to the land in its
immediate vicinity.
Under class four, which would be
providing for peasant holdings, the dis
trict authorities and the provincial set
Element companies would have it to
deal with. These settlers would be
those who could command adequate
agricultural knowledge, those who be-
fore the war were tenant farmers,
farm agents, or belonged to the more
efficient class Of farm laborers.
Herr Utsch believes that during the
first period after the war 1T will be
necessary to proceed mainly with the
establishment of individual settlements
near existing villages, for the settlers
will find it easier to make living and
with the assistance of the communes,
buildings will be cheaper. 1t will not
be necessary to undertake road making
and drainage operations on a large
scale. This character Of settlement,
he believes, would induce soldiers to
settle near their old homes, where, as
they are known, assistance will be
more readily given fO them
Funds From War Profits.
AS to the capital that will be neces-
sary to establish such communal set
Elements, the writer suggests that
about 10 per cent of all war profits
which after the payment of taxes ex-
coed 10000 marks ought to be lent on
mortgages on the settlements at the
rate of to 31a per cent.
Another article dealing with condi-
lions in Germany after the war, but on
| entirely different lines from the pen of
G. d. Sizzling, considers the extent in
which revolutionary ideas permeate the
German army and what may be the
outcome. The writer says:
1.-THE fuel of revolt is being heaped
up to await the torch that will set 1t
afiame. Competent observers foretell
that revolution will inevitably follow
the conclusion of the war. The
drugged and brutalized proletariat is
waking from its trance. With organi-
zation and leadership the torpid Ger
man people will at last turn against
| the false gods it has been worshipping
and dash them TO the ground"
