who will save Italy IL not those of
our faith?"
REFERRING to the recent general

the radical Socialist element through
out italy, the poet declared the ma
tion was sweating blood and knows
no shame"
The poet. limiting at possible en-
iarxement Of his plans, declared "our
work Is just beginning" He asked
reconnrmation Of his full powers"

BLOOMINGTON HAS YOUNG
PITCHER HEADED UPWARD

BLOOMINGTON. Ill, Aug. 15.-What
Is believed to be Three-I League rec
ord has been achieved by Pitcher Paul
Zahniser, OF the Bloomington team
Joining the Boomers the second week
in May. being purchased from Toledo
Of the American Association, ne
pitched thirteen winning games with
out a single defeat.
Zahniser is a college player, and
only twenty-five years old. He at
tIacted attention as a Splinter as well
as a hurler. and has starred in basket
ball, baseball, and track while with
the college teams.
In the thirteen games he won for
Bloomington he struck out seventy
six men. an average of almost six
to a game, and walked fifty, an aver
age Of less than FIVE a game. In the
thirteen games opposing teams regis
tered 125 hits and forty-three runs.
In the entire season he has not hit q
man, nor has a wild pitch been re-
corded against him.
Zahniser is a natural hitter and
some timely blows have helped to win
a number of his games. In the event
that some major club seeks to buy the
release Of Zahniser, the local associa-
ton will be in a position to ask a
tidy sum for his release. 1t is be-
ieved that he will graduate to the
majors next season.

DROPPING EVENTS
DISPLEASES STARS

American athletes are not at ali
satisfied with the proposals of the
Belgian Olympic committee to elimi-
nate certain events from the pro-
gram OF the international games
which have been scheduled to be
held at Antwerp late next summer.
The latest announcement OF the Bel
CLANS that the decathlon would be
dropped from the list OF events has
been received with anything but IA
vor by the all-around athletes, who
would be expected to take part in
this event
The elimination OF the decathlon
following the dropping of the stand
ing high and broad jumps and the
marathon race will rob the games OF
features which in the past have made
them an all-around test Of the ath-
letic proficiency OF the nations COM
peting.
1t is true that the decathlon is not
an event which has been. in favor
with American all-around athletes,
but nevertheless they contend that by
it's elimination no event which calls
for a real test of all-around ability is
left on the program. The pentathlon
will be decided, but that is not re-
BAfued, save IN intercollegiate circles,
as a good test OF athletic ability, in
as much as there are only five in
dividual competitions.
They add weight to their argument
when they show that w. F. BarteIs,
Of the University OF PENNSYLVANIA,
who won the pentathlon at the Penn
sylvania relay carnival in 1918, fin
ished a bad last in the all-around
championships held at the A. A. U.
games in August last year.
None of them admits that the de-
cathlon is a good substitute for the
American all-around competition, but
they declare that it is infinitely bet
ter than the pentathlon, and would
much prefer to see 1t retained in
preference to the pentathlon.
1t is quite probable that the Amer
lean Olympic committee will shortly
address itself to the Belgians suK-
costing that the decathlon be pre-
served as an event in the Olympic |
meet and asking also that the mara
thon race be retained.
There is not as much feeling over
the standing jumps. probably because |
fewer athletes are affected, but there |
is a strong undeTcurrent against an |
Olympic carnival without a mara |
thon race and without a suitable all |
around event
