1T COUNTS.

1C was q SISIllllCdIlC StdGG-
ment that was made by Mr..
E. T. Ford, prominent Off
cial Of Grace & Co., of San
Francisco, when he declared
that he was agreeably sur
prised at the hotel and rest
aurant accommodations that
he found in Nogales.
The impression made by
the city upon strangers, es-
pecially men of the stamp of
Mr.. Ford, is important. They
carry away with them those
impressions, and impart
them to others. Thus is the
city advertised.
If such visitors, coming
into Nogales, find a COM
munity that is clean, wide
awake and progressive, with
hustling business men and
creditable commercial estab-
lishments; if they find good
accommodations and receive
good service; if they are
courteously treated, it
spreads the reputation Of
Nogales wherever they go.
Wherefore, every citizen
who assists in any way in
realizing those conditions
in the city is deserving Of
commentator. Take, for
example, the changes recent
ly made in the Nogales post
office. Practically every
stranger coming into the
city visits that institution. 1t
is a factor in shaping his
opinion of the city. Today,
a visitor calling at Pestmast-
er Schuckmann's place of
business gains a better i'm
preston Of the city than he
did before the changes were
made.
A city's reputation on the
"outside" depends on these
impressions Of the "strang-
ers within its gates. That
Nogales should make the
favorable impression it did
on Mr.. Ford is due to men
like Mr.. Writ G.. Bowman,
who erected the hotel that
bears his name; Mr.. Guy c.
Griffin, who runs the
hostelry; Mr.. Paul Simis of
the Nogales Cafe.
Of course, there is a host
of men in Nogales who are
Of the same progressive and
enterprising stamp. Their
names are mentioned solely
because they happen to be
the ones concerned in this
incident. But it is due to
them, and the many others
like them, that the reputa-
tion of Nogales is being
spread abroad in favorable
way.

tells of the much superior

ures the English oppose 124,-
806 German prisoners taken
by them on the western
front, it must be remember

of extreme rigor, SO that the
Germans, with a small num-
Der Of prisoners, have secur-
ed a much superior moral
effect. Besides, to the g.
264 officers and 81, 1926 sol
diers must be added the sew
eral thousand English pri-
soners that have died in con-
sequence of disease, scanty
food, and other accidents in
the German concentration
camps.
Remember, the last class
referred to here are not pri-
soners of war, but English re
sidents of Germany who
were simply interned be-
cause they were English
not taken in arms or fight
ing.
It is peculiarly character
istic of the unspeakle bar

should thus boast of starving
non-combatants, as an ar
gument to deter other peo-
Piles from entering the war.

HAMILTON SELECTS
REDSAND WHITESOX
TO WIN REMNANTS
By H. G. HAMILTON,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, April 1S.--A long dis
lance shot at the worlds series en-
trants appears to the writer to involve
Cincinnati and Chicago.
Cincinnati has the National league
team that figures to win the pennant
in the Tener league and the White
Sox look good to repeat in the Ameri-
can.
On just one thing hinges the chances
for the Red Socks to. kick history and
precedent into cooked hat aud get
into worlds series for the first time
in the history Of the fall classic.
That one thing is Christy Mathew
sons ability to keep his pitching staff
In trim and develop couple of young
sters who can stand the National legua
pace in only fair sort of way.
Last year Matty showed his ability
with pitchers by bringing out Clarence
Mitchell and Mike Reagan. He has1
even better material to work with this
year. The result should be pennant.
Matty has the best outfeld in the
National league.
He has Hal Chase at first base and
Heinie Groh at third-two Of the best
infelders in either league. He has
young Kopf, a fair ball player, to sta
ton at shortstop, and the chances are
he will start the season with Lena
Blackburne or Dave Shean at second
base Either is good fielder, but
rather weak with the bat, The heavy
fire Of Chase and Groh, however,
should offset this weakness, A good
fielding shortstop can sdo wonders in
an infeld where he has backing by
hitting among other members.
IN addition to these defenses Matty
possesses one of the smartest catchers
in baseball in Tom Clarke, and one OF
the best hitting catchers in Ivy Wingo
The latter needs a lot of work. If he
gets it this year he will do bet
ter than for the last two seasons.
With Schneider, Eller and Reagan
to bear the heavy pitching burden, 1T
least two youngsters should sail into
prominence with mathewson's coach
ing. Bressler and Conley are capable
recruits-each with big league ex-
perience. Matty should have no trou-
Bile in whipping them into shape
Dutch Reuther, splendid utility man,
may show some of the stuff that caus-
ed experts to predict star career for
Kim as pitcher year ago when he
went up to the Cubs.
This team has the punch-the abili-
ty to get men on bases and push them
around for runs. They should win UNI
less accidents break up their combina'
ton.
AS for the White Sox-it has been
said for the most part. They have on
" one dangerous rival in the American
league and that is Boston. But the
Red Sox, made up of players who have
been filled in during the winter, should
not be expected to nit stiff enough
pace to carry it to pennant over
the tough going that is sure to de-
velop in the younger circuit.
Clarence Rowland's pitching stan
is intact. His infield hasn't lost
single cog, and his outfield stands
where it left off last year.
There is playing sense, punch ana

and it has the heart. The combina-

To the officers, high and low. as trainers and leaders of the national army is undeniabiy due a great share of the glory. and it is petty revenge to deprive them of insignia and arms and declare them incapable of exercising command.
