SINK HUN WARSH|PS,
U. s. ADMIRAL URGES
Rodman Says Large Vessels
Upkeep is Too Great.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Destruction OF
all capital ships Germany surrendered
to the allies was recommended to the
house naval affairs committee by Rear
Admiral Rodman.
He commanded the American fleet
in the North Sea during the war.
He said the German ships would not
be needed. They were Of different
types than of the allies, he added, and
it would be waste of money to main
tain them.
During the war the combined Brit
ish and American fleets have had such
predominating superiority over the
German fleet that it dared not come
out and fight u.s." Admiral Rodman
said. 'If that supremacy could be
maintained when the German fleet was
in existence, what would be the OBJ
ject in adding their ships to our force
when the danger Of their attacking US
has been removed?
"The expense of maintaining the
ships would be enormous. The types
are entirely different from those Of
the British and American feet. They
are equipped with different guns and
use a different kind of ammunition.
The expense Of making them CORES
pond to ours would be- almost pro-
hibitive.
Furthermore, there is no object for
the allies to keep them for protection
BY the time Germany can build new
ones and again become competitor
kfor the worlds largest feet these
yin have to be thrown away anyhow" |"

SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Cid Masters Taken by British Officer
From the Ruins of Ypres
Cathedral.

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pic
lures which were rescued, four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t APP
pears that during the bombardment of
Ypres in 1915 young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
dral, which was being heavily shelled,
that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
sented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The Of
ticer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A., then
cut the pictures out Of their frames
and put them in large sack, which he
used for time as bed. In the end
he took them to London, where. with
the approval Of the Belgian minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels.

UMPIRE O'DAY RANKLES REDS

of His Decisions.

Those who set out to kid Hank

II Fletcher's batting has been Of

GOOD QUALITIES OF
SHORTSTOP FLETCHER
Not FIashy, but Brainy and Most
Reliable of InfieIders.
Splendid Work of Veteran Overlooked
in Excitement Caused by Sensa-
tionai Playing Of Outfielder
Young and Larry Doyle.

In the excitement caused by the SEN
sational hitting and fielding of Ross
Young, the timely swatting of Larry
Doyle and the generally fine work Of
the Giant team as whole, the results
obtained by at least one member Of
the cast have been somewhat over
looked, says New York critic.
The player in question is Arthur
Fletcher. 1t was IL long years ago
that Fletcher first eased his way into
major league game, but he is still
very much in the running. There are
more fiashy shortstops in the game
than the COllinsville veteran, but John
McGraw would hardly consider pass
ing Fletcher along in exchange for any
of them.
Injuries sustained on the eve of the
opening of the championship season
slowed Fletcher up in the first few
days Of play and finally forced him to
fall out of line and allow Eddie Sick
ing and AL Baird to take turns at plug
ging the gap between second and
third bases. 1t irked him to remain on
the bench, however, and he missed
only six games. He was not in the best
of shape when he reported for duty
after his brief lay-Off, and even now

DISCARD EMBLEM

Connie Mack athletes no long

They are through with the

The emblematic elephant has
been torn, or cut off the sleeve
Of all the Athletics, and now
there is a feeling OF hopefulness

The first day the sign of the

do so. When Gowdy came to me from

er and good hitter, soon saw he
was too slow on his feet to make first
baseman. I told him that his only
chance to remain in the major leagues
was to become catcher, but at first
he did not agree with me. convinced
him that what said was true, how
