The CaueN Case Authentic
 Production at fife Franklin

Of the many great war pictures that have been produced, many of which have thrilled American audiences to the core there are none that has eqlalled in im- pressive appeal "The Cavell Case" which will be presented this week at the Franklin theatre.
 This great special attraction is a true story of the life of Edith Caver the heroic British Red Cross nurse, shot in Belgium by the Germans as spy for whom England has erected a monument in tender memory and recognition of her martyrdom, and for whom the civilized world grieves.
 This stirring and impressive picture is presented by Joseph l.. Plunkett and Frank J. Carroll, with Julia Arthur, the eminent American actress, in the role of Edith Cavell The entire story is based on fact The report of Brand Whitlock, the American minister to Belgium, is the basis for the truth of the story. Many of the subtitles have been taken direct from the document.
 The story is by Anthony Paul Kelly author of the Broadway success, Three

Faces East" John G. Adolf directed the picture The theme of this picture is so tremendous and so moving" said MT Adoln, that it was actually inspiring to work on it. There has not been dur lng the entire war an incident so dram at1c and humanly moving as the assas- sination of Edith Cavell, the British Red Cross nurse, who is admirably portrayed in this picture by Julia Arthur. For sheer brutality, this outrage has eclipsed any thing not only done in this war but in all history"
 The self-sacrificing Red Cross nurse was charged with aiding Englishmen in their efforts to quit Belgium after the German occupation. So far as the pow erful neutral nations, including the United States, could discover, the evil dence against the nurse was of the fIirn- siest sort.
 Edith Cavell was led out in the dawn of gray morning and shot within 15 minutes of her notification of the find ings" of the 'courtmartial' that tried her. A new army rose up in England that same day The bullet that slew Edith Cavell killed the Hohenzollern hope of victory.

other one was sick. So he appealed to
 John McGraw.
 m let you have Smith," responded
 McGraw. And the next day Smith re- ported to Robinson, who already knew the boy's record for being unable to travel the distance.
 Warm up-I want to see what you've got,' Robinson told the kid Smith pitched for ten minutes with Robinson watching him closely. Then Robinson suddenly stopped him and said:
 Do you. know why you can't go any
 more than three innings?" No" answered Smith
 "The fault is in your delivery" sad Robinson. You throw an overland ball
 get a hop on it. An overland ball is hard to hit for about three innings and then it's easy. Now I want you to
 use a side arm delivery after this and
 that will give you a hop on your fast one. Learn that delivery-and learn it well-and I'll guarantee that you'll last nine innings and pitch some wonderful baseball"
 Under Robinsons careful tutoring Smith practiced the side arm delivery After about five days of practice Rob- | inson turned Smith loose against Chi
 cago-and the kid defeated the club that won the 1918 pennant. Then Robinson sent him against Pittsburg-and Smith repeated. Smith won three out of the first four games that he pitched for the Dodgers and then came the series be- tween the Dodgers and the Giants.
 I'm going to send Smith against you fellows" Robinson told McGraw, who simply laughed. He figured that Smith would last three innings. Smith pitched against the Giants that day and shut them out winning the game, 2 to 0. And to the utter amazement of the Giants, Smiths pitching improved
 as the game went on and his delivery
 was as hard to connect with in the clos ing innings as it had been in the earlier ones.
 Robinson was forced to turn Smith back to the Giants-but Smith will be a Dodger in 1919.,> During the National league meeting this month the Giants secured Jake Daubert from the Brook lynites, giving Smith and Walter Holks in exchange.
 q insisted as one of the conditions of
 the trade that we should get Smith" declared Robinson. That boy has
 learned the side arm delivery and look for him to rank as one nf the wonder i pitchers of the National next season. If Smith achieves that glory he must thank Wilbert Robinson for it, for it was | Robinson who discovered his fault and showed him how to correct it just at a | time when the Giant chieftain was about lready to chase him back to the bushes.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
Br JAMEs J. coRnErr

Ever since Wilbert Robinson got back into baseball harness as coach of the New York Giants he has become famed for his ability to develop young pitch CTS into brilliant stars. M
 Whats the secret?" Robinson was asked
 There isn't any secret about 1t at all All a fellow has to do is to study a players characteristics, to learn his whims-and then to humor them. You can get best results by brow beating some fellows, but those tactics used on others would ruin their careers. never believed in riding a player always feel that the best sort of atti- tude toward a youngster coming into the league is fatherly one; toward the older players an attitude such as one would show toward a brother. That's the system I put in force when l was coaching the Giants and it's the same one I'm using now a manager of the Dodgers"
 But Robinson, through modesty, failed to recite one wonderful quality about htmself-and that is his knack of dis covering almost instantly the fault with pitcher Frequently during his ca reer hurlers have come under his wing w no nave been QIScarueQ Dy other cIubS as useless. Robinson had them per form for him-and presto, their fault had been discovered.
 The best instance of this is the case of George Smith, the Columbia college phenom who was secured by the Giants two seasons ago.
 Smith was given number of tryouts with the Giants, but soon became dubbed as "the best three-inning pitcher in the league" He would breeze along at whirlwind clip for three and some times four innings, but almost invari- ably would blow" afterward. He could baffle the batsmen for just, that long and then they would solve his deliv- cry and batter his twisuers to all DOT tions of the lot.
 McGraw, rather disgusted with Smiths inability to travel the distance, Harmed" him out to the Cincinnati Reds. It was thought that under the guidance of so masterful twirler as Christy Mathewson that Smith might develop. He certainly had natural tall ent in abundance. But Matty couldn't improve him. Smith couldn't travel nine innings. Three or four innings was his limit. And so Mathewson turned him back to the Giants.
 When the Dodgers were making their last swing around the circuit at the flag end of the abbreviated 1918 season, Wilbert Robinson needed a pitcher. Three of his regulars had been taken away by drafts and enlistments and the
