War and Birth Rates.

In his recent presidential address to
the Royal Statistical society, Sir Ber-
nard Mallet declared that the United
Kingdom has lost by the fall In births
during the war more than 5OO,OOO
potential lives. During the same period
he estimates that Germany has lost
100000 and Hungary 100000. The
great decline in the birth rate In the
central powers is ascribed to the fact
that the poorer classes in those coun-
tries have suffered greatly in health
and vigor on account of the war, while
the corresponding classes In Great
Britain have actually enjoyed more IA
vorable conditions than in time OF
peace.-Scientific American.

JONES TO RULE
With iron HAND
Phil Ball, Owner Of Browns, Gives
His Manager Orders

St Louis Mo, Jan. 31.-Prcsident
Phil Ball of the st. Louis Browns an
nounced last night that he had mailed
an eleven page letter to Fielder Jones
warning him that he must handle the
Browns during the coming season
with an Iron fist and directing him
to cease his easygoing tactics at once.
"My letter to him outlines plans for
this year. In the course of it [ told
him frankly that I thought he was
entirely too lenient with his men and
that he ought to go after them with
the iron fist and exact obedience"
Mr.. Ball added: Zones is much
misunderstood. Although few persons
know this outside the office manager
of the Browns, Jones fought for
Pratt, Lavan and others whom we
were in favor of benching or punish
ing Jones would never hear Of it and
always stood up for his men. He used
TO say that he had been a player once
himself and knew how hard it WAS
always to be on edge and fit and some
of these same players were running
around the city talking about him I'M
kindly.
. up to this time there has been no
question about FieldeF Jones return
ing here and there is none now that
originates with me. I have been Civ
, en- to understand that within the last
few days Jones has been written by a
ST. Louis man that he was not well
come to the public of this city. He is
so high strung that I feared he might
jump and leave us, not being bound
by contract. Hence the telegram.
Had the club been contemplate :
replacing Jones it would not have
waited until contracts were out or
until the trading season has passed
We would have gone right to the
front and engaged a manager lmme-
| diate1y after the season ended.

Giant gladiators-Lew McCarty, the
fence busting catcher, and Joe Will
holt the outfield utility man, have
climbed aboard the Giant band wagon

ing been received yesterday by Sec

McCarty, it may be recalled, had a
rather tough time last season. He
broke his leg in Cincinnati in June,
an accident which kept him out of
the lineup until late in Septem Der.
McCarty got back in the game for
the worlds series only to injure his
elbow in the second game, putting him
out of commission for the remainder
of the series. McCarty writes that
nature has done some splendid work
since the end of last season and he
again is in fine fettle.
With McCarty in line, the Giants
have their entire regular catching trio
-McCarty, Rariden and Gibselt-
lined up for the 1918 season. The
only catcher out of the fold is jack
Onslow, the young catcher obtained
from the Buffalo InternationaIs Iate
last season.
The Giants now have twenty play
ers under contract for 1918, includ-
ing most of the stars Of the club. Thel
players whose contracts are in she
Giant safe are Pitchers Benton, Tes-
reau, Anderson, Demaree, Georgei
Smith, Swigler. Causey Stryker andl
Waite Hoyt; catchers McCarty, Rari-I
