Will Preserve Historic Snota.

The western front is to retain some
of its battefieds, at least, as war
memorials. The decision of the French
government to preserve in their pres
ent condition selected sites, and to pro-
hibit any alteration will be welcomed
by many who feared that the disfgur-
ing and mercenary hands of the cafe
prOprietOrs, the souvenir sellers, the
restaurants and the hotel keepers
would obliterate historic spots in their
efforts to provide attractions for the
coming throngs of tourists. Among the
places already decided upon are the
forts at Verdun, the trenches of SOis-
sons, the underground mazes of MOu-
quet farm, the ruins of Bapaume, and
the mangled remains of Pozieres.

Concrete "PiIes.n

The piles used for wharf inside
the new pier at Burnie, Tasmania, are
concrete tubes or pipes 10 feet long
and AZ feet in diameter, the wall be-
ing one foot thick. The pipes are
produced in a steel cylinder, which is
placed on four wheels, and rotated by
an electric motor at the rate of 25G
to 300 revolutions per minute. AS the
concrete mixture is thrown in, the
centrifugal force throws out the wa
ter, each length of pipe being com
pleted in about fifteen minutes. To
get the required height, these sections
are placed one upon another, with &C.
ment between, and an eight-inch steel
band is placed over the joint. The
hollow center is filed with sand.

Waite Hoyt, former Erasmus Hall
high school star; who became famous
by joining the Giants at the age of six

chance to achieve his life's ambition

youngster has been signed by the Red

remarkably well.
HOyt's pitching with the Baltimore

DAVENPORT GOOD AS ORATOR
Tall Pitcher Never Lost Opportunity
to Tel His Mates How to Win
Baseball Games.

Dave Davenport, besides being the
tallest man in baseball, possesses the
greatest line of chatter in diamond cir
cles. Dave is quite some talker. He
talks himself into the reputation of be-
ing the greatest clubhouse pitcher in
the American league according to one
of his fellow players with the Browns.
1t was a habit with Fielder Jones to
hold a meeting in the clubhouse just
before going out on the field. Fielder
would talk over with his men about
the weak points of the opposition and
tell the pitcher he intended using
where to pitch to each man.
After Fielder had finished his ora
ton Dave would Immediately get on
the cold soap box" as the players say,
and tell how he battied this and that
player with certain shoots. Dave sell

dom gave anyone else a chance to ut
ter word, and the meeting generally
broke up with the tall boy still telling
how the game should be played on that
particular afternoon.
1t sometimes happened, however,
that Davenport would be sent to the
mound. The players on the bench
would eagerly watch the tall Texan.
He had habit of tossing up a slow
ball quite often, and invariably some
player on the opposing side would con-
meet for a terrific wallop to the fence.
The fact that Davenport was pounded
hard and yanked out of the game on a
number of occasions never caused the
big fellow to cease telling his team
mates how to play the game. Dave
meant well and his teammates enjoyed
the act immensely.

WHEAT OF BROOKLYN
Is NATURAL BATTER
Slugger crouches, Shifts Feet
and Kicks Up Much Dirt
Has Decidedly Awkward Motions
While at Bat, But Is in Position to
Hit Anywhere-He Is Called a
Free Swinger.

What is the difference between form
and style? In other words, what is
the difference between natural pro-
pensity to do the right thing in a sport
and the doing of that thing in an easy
and graceful fashion? asks Thomas
S. Rice, baseball critic on the Brooklyn
Eagle.
We have discOursed upon Heinie
Zimmerman as the naturally easy and
graceful ball player, and have given
him credit for the game Now come
we to a distinguished athlete who is
very much different. The same is Fac
cheus D. Wheat, left fielder of the
Brooklyn Superbas.
Zimmerman would delight the golfer,
because Zim keeps his feet in precise
~ the theoretical position for doing
the best work. Zach stands we'll up to
the plate, but has decidedly awkward
motions while there. He shifts his
feet, crOuches bit, kicks the dirt
from behind him-and hits the ball
better than Zim. How come? The ex-
perts on golf form would wag their
heads at the sight of Zach, or duck
their heads out of the way of one Of
his terrific smashes.
But the graceful and easy stuff does
not fool the old-time baseball player or
manager any more than does the
awkward stuff. Uncle Wilbert Rob-
inson of the Brooklyn Superbas says
Wheat is one of the most natural bat
tiers he ever beheld.
"YOu can tell he is a batter as soon
as he steps to the plate" says Uncle
Wilbert. "Zach's every movement of the
shoulders and arms is well timed. He
may kick up some dirt and give the
groundkeeper unnecessary labor, but as
soon as the ball starts toward him you
can see that his limbs are free. That
is, he is in position to hit anywhere
If the occasion arises.
"Wheat is called a free-swinger, and,
being left-handed, has a natural ten
dency to pull to the right"

TOM LYNCH AS UMPIRE

Tom Lynch, who was the pres
ident of the National league in
1913, was at one time famous
umpire.
His manner, dignity and cour-
tesy impressed all he met, and
his personality dominated the
whole field.
When he made decision
there was such positiveness
about it that no one questioned
it.
No one ever saw Lynch around
the hotels at night. He always
held himself aloof from the play
ers, and they seldom caught a
glimpse of him until he came
on the field to umpire the game.
He was known for his general
good conduct and honesty.

voN BUELow's HOUSE READY

Rome. June 1S-Prince Won Bue- lows house on the Pincian hill known as the Villa of a thousand kinds of roses" is ready awaiting the return of the German diplomat. The villa was called by its present name be- cause of the lavish profusion, both in number and variety, of the roses climbing the walls and studded ev- anywhere in the garden.
 They are blooming now and present a magnificent appearance. There are types of roses among the collection probably unknown in America. There IS the celebrated Italian orange rose in abundant quantities. There are roses of mixed colors chief among them being the rosa novtta,'' a rose of rich red changing gradually to a pronounced orange and yellow. There are multitudes of red, white. pink and yellow roses. They fill the garden giving 1t an artistic appearance and filling the atmosphere for blocks away with their sweet-smelling aroma.
 The gardener Is still at work in the Won Buelow villa. When his work of attending to the tender plants is through for the day, he sits near the big high gate at the entrance in an attitude of expectancy, wondering how long the arrival of peace will detain his master. who has expressed in a recent interview his desire to return to Italy to see his roses.

M0NTENECRINS
 ARE DESTITUTE

Niksich, Montenegro, April Is, Via Paris. May 15, (By MaiD7-Montene gro is in a pitable state. The inhabi- tants are destitute. Dwellings are burned or smashed by shell-fire. The young men are gone. There are no tools to work with, no seeds to plant. The city dwellers have no livelihood. Each day the American Red Cross gives everyone a kilo of bread or two quarts of thick, meaty soup. Ameri- can nurses visit the sick from sunup to sundown, each nurse attending to about fifty sick persons daily.
 Before the war most of the cloth ing worn by the Montenegrins was made by the women at home, either of linen or wool. Only small num- Der of officials and tradesmen used imported cloth. During the war no clothing was made and now the home supply is cut off because there is not enough labor to produce food and no one can spare time for spinning or weaving.
 As a result Montenegrin men, wo- men and children are clothed in bur lap sacking. There is not enough sacking to go around and the noun taineers huddIe in their huts during indictment weather. When one of their number, generally child, is sent after the Red Cross rations he or she is supplied by making a round Robin collection with sufficient sack ing to keep warm during the journey to the relief station.
 Malaria and tuberculosis are com mon and the children suffer much from the itch, due to the general filthiness of conditions in the noun tains and mountain towns. In the former residence of Prince Mirko, son of King Nicholas, near Podgor- itsa, American doctors and nurses maintain fifty bed hospital and treat daily about eighty patients. The surgeons principal work has to do with bullet wounds.

ENGLISH CHANNEL TUNNEL.

The project of an English Chan mel Tunnel was first urged by N. Ma thieu in 1902. In 1913 it was seri- ously suggested that France and Eng land celebrate the century of peace, which would occur on the date of June IS, 1915, by beginning work on the tunnel Before the war engineers estimated that such a tunnel could be built at a cost not greater than that of one "dreadnaught" a year for six or seven years Such a tunnel was once actually commenced. After the consideration of many plans of French and English engineers, the two governments entered into a con- vention whereby a tunnel company was granted a monopoly for thirty years, and early in 1876 boring was begun at Sangatte, near Calais. N. Thome de Gamond, whose plan had been adopted, died about this time. and the scheme languished Other plans were then considered and in 1881 experimental boring was re- newed. but soon lapsed. These early experiments were valuable in that they demonstrated the feasibility of the project, and provided data for es- timating the cost. these estimates ranging from fifty to eighty millions

DEBATE SUFFRAGE.

Dublin, June 18.-The question of woman suffrage in church govern ment was keenly debated at the an- nuaI synod of the Protestant Epis- copal Church in Ireland and event ually was decided against the claims of the women.
 Since it's disestablishment and sev- erance from the Church of England the Irish Protestant Church has been a democratica1ly governed body; but only men have votes. The demand for woman suffrage was moved by the Bishop of Ossory, and supported by Judge Wakely mainly on the ground that women had shown their capacity during the war. It was strongly opposed by Dr. Bernard. Archbishop of Dublin, as well as by many representative laymen. On a vote of the whole synod the women suffrage advocates had a majority, but by the constitution no bill can pass unless it has a majority of both orders separately, clergy and laity. The clergy provided a majority for women's suffrage but the lay vote showed a small majority against 1t.
 The proposition is certain to be re- newed.
