Horsemen Knew Their Business.

Horsenen Knew Their Business.
The value of having practical horse
men in charge of remount camps is
shown in provisions made for shelter.
When it came to building the great
depOts required at each of the camps
they ordered open sheds instead of
barns-or for the severe northern eli
mate. sheds closed on one side. To
the city-bred humanitarian who saw
thousands of Uncle Sans horses and
mules standing out in the cold. this
seemed cruel, and complaint was en-
tered. But by practical test it was
shown that the horsemen were right.
Those animals which were housed up
did not thrive as well as the ones
which were kept i'm the open. When
talking with the head of the remount
division the thing he vas most proud
Of was the fact that our horses were
kept in better condition with fewer
losses, than the horses of England or
France, and that we did this with Il
much smaller man force. largely be-
cause we give them open-air treat
ment.

In 1918, at the winter meeting OF

Mr.. Minor and Mr. Griffith, of the
Washington club, appeared before the
meeting and requested loan OF 500

that there were several matters TO be
cleaned up in the bank, some press
ing notes to be taken up, etc.
The league agreed to loan them this
money for the purpose stated, in
view Of the hard times, provided the
Washington Board Of Directors and
all officials would individually indorse
the note.
This Endorsement was never made,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.-Every
now and then tail-end club win
flare up and play like champions;
that's every now and then. The now
part in connection with the taiI-end-
ers in Ban Johnson's circuit was yes
terday afternoon and the Griffmen
happened to be In the vicinity Of
Shibe Park when the flare OCCURRED.
The athletics. have been sliding along
through the season in a haphazard
sort ef fashion. playing good ball
only occasionally. They looked like
miserable tail-enders against the
Yankees here on Monday, and yes
terday they played the Grlff gang
as II the pennant depended on the de-
cision.
First they did something they rare
ly do. They came from behinu. The
Griffmen got to lead, and could
not hold it. At that, it is nothing
strange for the Senator's. However. IL
is a rarity to see the Mackmen trail
ing in the seventh and ahead in the
eighth.
Erickson was hauling the AS along
in beautiful fashion until he struck
the seventh. In the first six innings
he allowed only five hits, and should
have had the MaelSs runless. The
one marker put over by the Athletics
in the second was unearned. Then
came the seventh.
McAvoy started with a single and
then put mis- ankle in the road Of
kinney's groUnder. Burrus singled,
and Witt punctured Erickson for a
triple. Whitley scored a few seconds
later on an infield out
Wally Kinney, one OF Aack's reg
ular pitchers. did the dipping for
the Philadelphia back liers. The
sturdy young southpaw pitched
peculiar game. He was wild at times
and at other periods he had perfect
control
Kinney had a wide and wicked
curve ball that set the GriGmen wing
ing. He famed no less than eleven
batters and reached the height when
he wifEed Walter johnson when the
prince OF pitchers came up 10 the
plate bearing Erickson's. bat in the
eighth.
But TO look at Kinney through the
other optic he passed six batters, hIu
another and wild pitched one 10 the
plate. Kinney twirled a typical Nick
same-inconsistent.
Poth OF the Grihs runs came over
with the assistance OF Kinney. In the
third. Joe Judge led off with a triple
and sprinted over the pan when
Wally uncOvked a Wild pitch. In the
seventh Judge was walked with none
IOwn. lie Went TO second on Fosters

Rice whacked a double to right cen
ter.

Pope Issues Appeal
Pope Benedict has taken steps to
communicate with the head of one
of the most important delegations at

to secure Il revision of the terms of
the treaty of peace, according to a

Hartmann. of Cologne, had appealed
to the Vatican. Whom the Pope will
address is not ind !cated in the dis
patch.
Germans Excited
In the meantime, mass demon
strations of protest are being held
throughout Germany. In Berlin, an
immense throng gathered at the
Reichstag building on Thursday and
adopted resolutions denouncing the
