The former Brownie gathered two
hits in three times up in the after
noon struggle, which the Colts won in
seven innings by 4 to ,. Once he
took his base on balls. He scored
the only run Of the morning game by
his speed In scurryiIfg home when 1t
was impossible for Ruppley to get him
at the plate on, an infield roller by
Sam Rice. ........-.
Shotton has lift well in the other
practice games in which the Regulars
have played, and as lead-o6 man for
the Griffmen this season he promises
to regain the form which made him
one OF the most feared batsmen in
the American League UP until last
season, when he had a bad slump due
to sickness. .s-
weather Was Ideal.
Manager Griffith took advantage OF
the ideal weather conditions yester-
day 10 send his athletes through two
practice games in addition to the
usual batting and fielding drills. The
Yannigans got a draw in the first one
and easily won the second. They
should have gained victories in both.
The Yannigans showed poor judg-
ment in running the bases in the
morning game and this cost them the
verdict They outhit the first team
by q good margin, but stupidity on
the paths Numbered them 20 defeat.
Adrian Lynch held them well in
check while he was on mound duty,
but they had held day with their
bats when Earl Yingling opposed
them. The southpaw yielded seven
hits and Lynch only two.
Dumont and Harper. on the other
hand. pitched in mid-season form
against the Regulars. The southpaw
allowed two hits.
Cass Was Real Star.
Csss was the star Of the afternoon
game. He cracked out a home run
off Walter johnson. scoring Bermsn
ahead OF him. The Colts needed those
two runs. johnson went three in
nings and after retiring McBride's
Juveniles in one, two, three order in
the frst two innings allowed three
hits In the third. The first OF these,
which went to Ruppley, was a scratch
and the star pitcher caught the young
eter OF second, TO which he had
gone on Berman's single. Then sf-
ter Ayers went out Cass Clipped in
with his circuit blow.
Craft followed johnson for the
Regulars, and was touched up for a
run in the fourth and another in the
seventh. The Regulars got to Ayers
for q run IN the second on Layan's
single and Ainsmlth's triple. The VIr- |

THE BLOW THAT FAILED

ucfluk WHY tHc fhiti'S u'" WV 49,
able to break through the German
lines on the western front while th,
Russians were yet engaging Teu'
tonic attention on the eastern front,
will be enlightened rather than en-
couragcd by an article in the cur
rent Golfers written by Wythe
Williams, Paris correspondent Of
the New York Times.
The Allies did break through OF
at least had penetrated the first
and second German lines--in the
great drive last spring conducted
by General Nivclle. To quote Mr.
Williams:
"It is now matter of general
knowledge and proof $500 that ON
that day the German general army
order was to prepare Immediately
for quick retreat to the line of the
River Meusc. Three German army
commanders had been ordered to
Berlin in disgrace. The end of the
German invasion of France seemed
at hand"
The day referred to was April %.
On that day Paul Painleve, the
French minister of war, sent a tel
gram to Nivelle ordering that the
entire offensive be Immediately
stopped, although on the preceding
day the French government had
assured General Haig that the bat
tie would go on.
1t is quite likely that the German
retreat would have been converted
into a rout and the war brought
to an end had the drive continued.
And why was it stopped? Be-
cause handful of French deputies
who had somehow managed to get
to the front, where they did not
belong, grew chicken-livered at the
sight of Gallo blood and complain
ed to the war minister.
Painleve, whose conduct was that
of weak sister" throughout,
kept advising England that the
offensive would proceed while at the
same time preparing to stop it in
order to placate the faint-hearted
deputies. Meanwhile the French
losses, necessarily severe, were
grossly exaggerated by interested
persons through the simple process
of counting wounded soldiers twice
and three times over as they were
transferred from the field TO the
base hospitals.
General Nivelle's own official
figures were not accepted until too
late.
Nivelle and Haig were in perfect
accord on the French generals
simo's great battle plan, which CONF
pretended the entire front and
had been worked out in every de-
tail. Undoubtedly it would have
been brought to a successful con-
cIusion but for this miserable polit-
icaI bungling.
The ugly sequel followed at once.
The revitalized Germans held their
lines and are still in France. petain
has been afraid to move, except in
desultory fashion. Nivelle and
Mangin, the hero Of Vcrdun, were
removed from their commands and
court martialed, although they could
not be disgraced on the showing adj
duced before the court. Poltroon
politics triumphed over master
strategy. The war is still on, with
prospects that it will continue at
least year longer.
The lesson is plain. No interfer-
ence from Washington with our
own General Pershing should be
tolerated for a moment by the ,
people. He must and will be given
a free hand, and be held response
bic for the results.
