is given to Kelliher of Tech and the
other to Dasher of Central The lat

showed ability to handle fly balls and
to bat better than the men playing
outfield positions. Dasher was at
short for Central, and while he has
done good work he hardly comes up to
the standard set by Grub of Tech.
Grub, as the foregoing paragraph
indicates. is given the job at short
stop He is a good fielder. a good
hitter and has it all over the other in
fielders in handling short flies just be-
yond the infield. He is awarded the
place over Dasher, who is the next

and the lack of proper facilities for
taking care of spectators has pre-

be hoped that these are factors that
will be remedied in 1920.

ROME rs STIRRED.

Rome, April 24.-Public opinion here and throughout Italy
has been stirred to fever pitch by President Wilson's statement
on Fiume. Public men and leaders in all walks of life made
bitter utterances, and there were numerous demonstrations Of
protest against MIR. Wilson's stand, but up to this cabling no
reported.
Almost the entire population of Rome turned out today III
a monster parade cheering Premier Orlando and Foreign Min
lister Sonnino and bearing banners reading, 1--WE want Fiume,
and similar watchwords.
Thousands of societies of all sorts participated in the
parade. Similar demonstrations are reported from other big
Italian cities. y
Grave press dispatches from Paris correspondents to
Italian newspapers heightened the general excitement and ner-
vousness of the populace. Huge crowds besieged the newspa-
per Offices in quest for news of the latest developments.
Popolo Romano, a leading conservative organ describes
the happenings at Paris as Shameful
Deputy Bevione ~telegraphs from Paris: The situation is
irretrievablv worse. The country must remain COOL
Commercial and industrial life throughout Italy is nearly
paralyzed. Anti ally feeling runs high.
Prince Colonna, mayor Of Rome, said in a speech today:
I'VE are uttering cries of protest against the attacks our
enemies, known and unknown, have dared to make against the
sacred rights of Italy. We carried on the war uncompromised
by hypocritical comblnations.

ItaIy's Claims to
Fiume Not Serious

Washington. Aprii 24-rhe situation
created by President Wilson'S deciara
ton OF opposition to ltalys claims to
Fiume may not be as serious as IL APP
pears on the surface.
An exaggerated Importance IA be
given 10 any withdrawal from Paris
Of ltaly's representatives While their
withdrawal admittedly would be a
development, the best in
formed opinion here is that it would
not necessarily endanger a peace 10
which all of the allies. including Italy.
would agree.
To be plain, the suggestion Is thrown
out here by well-informed diplomats
that the decision OF Orlando. Sonnino,
and their associates. may be designed
principally TO save their faces with
their own countrymen. and not to
manifest to the other peace delegates
in Paris their irrevocable disposition
against any compromise of ltaly's
claims.
Italy has been WORKED up TO fever
heat over the acquisition of Fiume.
If Orlando and Sonnino had reached
the conclusion that II was impossible
to satisfy ttaly's demand for posses
sion of the beautiful port of the
Quarnero. the declaration from Presi-
tirDt NliSbn tFIl the GIttSd GtAtCS
would not acceed to the demand might
NOT haze been entirely unwelcome to
the Italian statesmen, hard pressed
as they are with threats of revolu-
tion unless they achieve all Italy asks.
They will be strengthened at home
by the fact that they had been un-
yielding. 1t is much better for them
that their allies have denied their
claim than that they themselves
should have surrendered.
They have now passed the respon-
sibility for the future course OF
Italy from themselves to the LILLIAN
people.
The belief here Is that President
Wilson did not issue his statement
until he had a very definite UNDER
standing with Iloyd-George and
Clemenceau as to the position Great
Britain and france were prepared TO
with respect to Fiume.

demonstrating the wonderful financial resources of the city,
loan workers went out yesterday and ran the clty's total sub
scriptions to the Victory loan drive up to nearly $o.OW0,0Oo, or

One hundred and fifty business men, gathered in the andi-
forum of the Chamber of Commerce for a discussion OF the
campaign, and without intimation that subscriptions would be
solicited. subscribed 100000 in less than thirty minutes.
Never before has there ever been such an outburst of patriotism
and enthusiasm in the city that was so concretelv expressed,
and bankers last night doubted if there was any other clty IN
the country of Richmond population. or near 1t. that could
better demonstrate her wonderful spirit.
There had been apathy, the people had been buying only
the smaller bonds and the city's total at the outset of the meet
ing was only 81 ,o55 900, Herbert W. Jackson, the chairman,
announced. Called to discuss what action should be taken, DR..
Douglas S. Freeman pictured the situation. The loan should
have been designated a thanksgiving loan, he said, in thanks
that no more lives had been lost and that God had been with
the allies in the supreme moment. He told how the spending
of money had brought a quick end to the struggle and saved
of thousands Of casualties. Then brief talks We're
made by John M. Miller, Jr, and #. L. Bemiss, when the idea
occurred to Mr.. Jackson that word should never go forth that
Richmond was falling behind. He called for subscriptions and
they came thick and fast, one for one million, others for 5000
