BRITISH PREMIERS
PRAISE Y. NJ. c. A.
BY JEAN KNOTT

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Two premiers
of the British Empires largest and
most progressive commonwealth have
issued statements to the effect that
the soldiers in the field against Ger
many are dependent not only for the
many so-called comforts OF life but
for absolute necessities upon the &C
tivities Of one of the seven agencies
combined in the United War Work
Campaign. -.--
+ Sir Robert Laird Borden, prime
minister OF Canada and W. II.
Hughes, prime minister of Australia,
in public statements urge the sup
port OF the Y. NJ c. A, which, with
the Y. W. c. A, National Catholic
War Council, K. Of C. war Camp Com
munity Service. Jewish Welfare Board,
American Library Association and
Salvation Army, are extending their
work for American and allied fighters.
Whoever has come in contact with
the work OF the Y. NJ. c. A. in camps
or behind the lines knows full well
that it is a very valuable and almost
inseparabls part Of army life" said
Premier Hughes. without 1t the
troops would undergo very many
hardships and suffer great neon
veniences which their magnificent in
stItution is able to remove.
Furnishes Comforts
THE absolute dependence OF so
many millions OF soldiers upon the
association for what they regard as
the comforts. but which often are the
necessities OF army life. is surely the
most powerful appeal that can be
made to the American or any other
people. l wish it every success"
Premier Borden's statement is as
follows:
THE efforts OF the Y. VI. c. A. to
minister TO the soldiers comfort and
social weII-being are of great impor-
lance in maintaining the morale and
spirit OF the armies.
Worthy of Support.
'T know from careful inquiry and
from repeated testimony of the troops
themselves how very highly the work
OF the Canadian Y. NJ. c. A Is valued |
by the Canadian eNpeditionRry force, |
and especially by the men actually in |
the trenches, to who mthis splendid |
organization is able to bring cheer |
and comfort which could not possibly |
reach them otherwise. without doubt |
this will be the experience OF the gal |
liant troops from the United States.
1.-THE work OF the American Y. NJ. |
c. A. is, therefore, worthy OF every |
financial support, and, knowing the
proverbial generosity Of the. United
States. am sure that such support
will be forthcoming"

CHARLEY HOLLOCHER, BOY SHORTSTOP,
IS MAINSTAY IN CHICAGO NATIONALS
LINEUP; MITCH BASES HOPES ON HIM

Chicago. April 30.-Cold weather
and damp grounds, which caused
another pOstpOnement of combat
between the Cubs and Pittsburgh
Pirates yesterday at the north side,
furnished an opportunity for Cub
stockholders, Cub officials, and
Cub fans to speculate a bit on the
prospects of the remodeled north
side club. Without having made a
thorough canvass on the matter,
one is able to declare that Cub
stockholders are silent, Cub ofiic-
ials are optimistic and Cub fans
are enthusiastic.
OF cuorse. had not Alexander
the Great been called for military
service there would have been en-
thuSiasm on the part of all pa ties
concerned, but, regardless OF that
blow, which affected the stock
holders more than others, there is a
general feeling of enthusiasm re-
garding the team under the lead
ership of Fred Mitchell.
While on the training trip, all
critics as well as the manager, felt
that the success OF the new Cubs
depended largely upon the show
ing of little Charley HOllocher, the
boy shoItstop. Now that nine
games have been played it is al
most possible to size things up.
without seven going into details,
one feels safe in saying that il the
success of the team depends on
Young HCllOCher, then success is
assured.

formed IN a big league before this
year, who has had only two years
experience with the minors, and
who only reached the 2ist anniver-
saIy OF his birth last winter, has

bring confidence to the manager
and all thee rites His work so
far has been sufficient to win him

HCllOcher's early spring showing
led many to fear he might fall
down as a batter when he faced
the firing of the big league pitch
ers. However, in the nine games
played he has faced several of the
best pitchers of the game, includ-
ing Lee Meadows and Doak of St
Louis ana Pete Schneider of Gin
cinnati. In the nine games he has
teen at bat 80 times and has ham
mered out 10 hits, which gives him
an average of .286. If he can bat

Latonia race track at Cincinnati,
Fort Erie track at Buffalo, Oaklawn

tai here yesterday. Death followed
a nine weeks sickness from typhoid

lit:cal director following his activi-
ties against the anti-racing meas
ures. His political influence ex-
tended and later he became director
of the Joseph W. Folk-Harry B.
HAYES gubernatorial race
CeiIa's life story is romance. A
graduate of Notre Dame, he began
his career in the saloon bus ness in
st. Louis 80 years ago. From that
he branched out, obtaining valuable
property, and at his death was the
owner of large holdings in St. Louis
hotel. theatre, business. and other
buildings.

Cleveland, April 30-That cham
piOnship punch was in action yes
terday and the combined efforts of
four Indian hurlers could not check
the White Sox. They soaked the
ball without caution in practically
every round, finishing with total
of IA safe hits and coping the first
of a three-game series by to 4.
Ii was weird tussle all the way,

opposed by big players, never
once showed an Indication OF being
the least bit fused. In fact, he
played the best ball of the whole
spring tour on opening day in st.
Louis before a big crowd in his
own home town, though it was the
first time in his life he had worn
major league clothes.
After that game was over there
no longer was fear of his blowing
up because of stage fright, the
thing which has stopped many a
promising youngster Apparently,
playing ball in a big league is
nothing more TO this lad than play
ing a game Oh the lots with no
one looking on.
His batting so far has been
classy, and the big fear was that. he
wouldn't hit well enough for fast
company. He has hit 'em to left
and he has hit 'em over second,
and he has pulled long drives to
right, and he has beaten out some
slow Founders. He has shown
skill in waiting EN- out, and, in
fact has displayed finish in every
way in that department of base
bail His fielding has been the
most active seen on a Cub team
since Poe Tinker was recruit.
Possibly there have been indica-
tons that he hasn't the best
throwing arm in the game He has
been accurate. but not fast, though
only once did runner get to first
when there was a chance to shoot
him out lie wastes no time in get
ting a ball away, and should shoot

another year to mature
Manager Mitchell is pleased
over the showing or the boy aad
the north side fans, who have seen
HIM in only four games, are really
quite wild about him. In the mean
time, Young Charley is devoting
himself to the game with every bit
OF energy, both mental and physical,
that he possesses. so it seems
there's no use worrying longer
about the shOrtstop position.
