MORAN CAN CLAIM TWO
FEATS IN BASE BALL

Fat Moran, manager of the Reds,
can claim two distinctions in base ball.
He is the only man who has ever led
the Reds to a world title in modern
base ball days and is the only pilot
who ever handled clubs Of two differ
ent cities in the championship series.
He was the only manager to win a
pennant with the Philadelphia Ma
tional League club. as he was the first
to bring a pennant to Cincinnati. He
has been more successful as a mana
ger than as a player. He was a
catcher in his playing days. but was
not an outstanding star.
Moran entered the National League
in 1901 and has been connected with
the organization continuously since.
He has been with Ave different clubs,
counting his brief connection with the
Giants last winter. after he had been
released by Philadelphia and before he
was signed to manage the Reds He
was with the Boston Nationals from
1901 to 1905, inclusive, and with the
Chicago Cubs during the seasons Of
1906-07-08-09. He joined the Phillies
in 1910 and was lieutenant to Ped
Doom until 1914. when the latter was
released. Moran took charge of the
club that winter. and in 1915 he won
a pennant at Philadelphia. He re-
mained In charge of the Phillies dur
ing the seasons Of 1916-17-18, and went
to the Reds last January.
Moran makes his home in Fitchburg
Mass, where he was born forty-three
years ago last February. His first
professional engagement was with the
Lyons Club of the New York State
League in 1897. After catching at
Lyons for two years he went to Mon
treal Of the then Eastern League, and
after two seasons with the Canadian
club he went to the Boston Nationals
With the ending of the world series
he completed his nineteenth consecu-
tive season in the National League.

FALL OF BALTIC
STATES IS NEAR
Esthonia Appeals for Aid as
IS Bolshevik Divisions
Prepare for Attack.

Fifteen Bolsheyik divisions ars
about to attack three Esthonian d.
visions and Esthonia has appealed
to Finland for aid. according to ad-
vices reaching the State Depart
ment-
Finland has replied that she must
consult the Allies before acting and
in the meantime the Bolshevik
army is pressing on into Esthonia.
In their appeal to Finland for mill
tary aid the Esthonians have point
ed out that they can resist no longer
and that il the Bolsneviks are not
stopped the Bolsheviks may capture
the Baltic provinces, take the ports
of RevaI. Riga, and Libau and es-
tablish direct communication with
Germany.
Some days ago. the Esthonians
were sent an ultimatum by the Boil
sheviks demanding that Esthonia
sever relations with the Allies and
Finland. and give free passage to
Bolshevik troops through Esthonia.
This shows that the Bolsheviks have
determined 10 overrun the Baltic
States. The Allies have demanded
that the German army in those
States evacuate so that II the Ger
man army will not now cooperate
with the Allies to resist the Bolshe-
viks there is danger that the Baltic
States may be held by Bolsheviks
instead of Germans.
The operations and demands OF
the Bolsheviks on Esthonia show
clearly that it is proposed to in
corporate that principaIity in the
Soviet territories.

the first line at the grand attack
which ended IN the capture OF the St

Secretary OF War Baker took the
stand that the commanders Of corps
were entitled to the first consideration,
and said also that he would not be
guided by the principle Of seniority.

All these interesting questions sp-
pears suddenly in the New case today.
like dice from a shaken box.
Five months ago the New case was
rather a simple aaffir as such cases
go. ~~~
Little Freda Lesser was read and
Harry New confessed that he had
killed her.
New-this is quite another AFFAIR,
and from his quiet countenance and
air of composure. Harry New seems
to think so.
He slipped into the. courtroom to-
day with the light and supple step
characteristic of him-a step that
has in it something of the quick
and sinister grace of the panther
though New himself is not at all
pantherish.
Prison life seems to have agreed
with New.
He has gained in weight. gained
in color. gained in countenance until
he is really rather a good-looking
fellow in a rather urban and sophis-
ticated way.
He looks like a popular member of
some second or third class mandolin
and guitar club-a fellow with a quick
ear for music-a nice taste in neck
ties and an easy-going habit OF life
that would never refuse him any
small qualification of his none toe
exalted senses.
There is something about him as he
sits in the court, aloof and untouched
by what goes on around him. Some
how it makes you think Of a child
who goes on with his own games, no
matter what is happening of tragedy
or farce in the room where he plays.
His mother sat close behind him
poor thing-a frail and broken
creature. in furs and gloves and a
dark gown of modish pattern.

The War Department has rejected

The refusal of the department to

BAKERS STAND

WORRIES LEGION
Demand Investigation Of
Alleged Leniency by Sec
retary of War.

Demand for a show down. by the
Secretary of War on his attitude
toward 'slackers.' was demanded
yesterday by the American Legion
representing the great majority OF
veterans Of the world war.
The demand brought to light a
movement on foot in Minnesota and
in Congress to demand an investiga-
tion of alleged leniency on the part
of Mr.. Baker in dealing with con-
scientious objectors. with a request
for his resignation should che
charges be proven.
While the American Legion Is
making no threats and wishes it
distinctly Understood that as a body
1t would not demand Secretary Bak-
er's resignation. it is known that
only the Arm stand of high legion
oficials prevented the conference OF
State commanders, in session here,
from adopting resolutions making
such a request.
Senator Kellogg, Of Minnesota. and
other members !clScongress.y have
been given the facts in the case.
They have been urged to demand q
Congressional investigation. but
have held off pending the answer
Of Secretary Baker.
The case which brought about the
demand for Showdown" was that OF
Allan S. Broms. of Mime sofa Broms
the legion charges. had been confined
at Fort Leavenworth in the L. S
Disciplinary Barracks and had beer
released through a mistake. Proposal
to re-arrest him was blocked by the
Secretary OF War.
The legion made the charge tina:
Broms, since his release. has become
notorious for seditious utterances
against the government"
1t is understood Secretary Baker
admitted knowledge of the case and
promised that Broms 4ould be re.
arrested and confined if it was found
upon Investigation by the Attorney
General that he was still making Sc.
ditious utterances against the gov
ernment.
The appointment Of the special com.
mittee to take the case up with Sec.
retary Baker was the result of a
stormy meeting in executive session
Of State commanders of the legion
Monday night. 1t is understood that
it was first proposed by more radical
members that the legion call upon
President Wilson to ask for the resfg.
nation Of the Secretary of War. The
proposal was debated heatedly but
wiser counsel finally prevailed and the
special committee was named to lay
the matter before Mr.. Baker.

treaty without the league Of nations
covenant. II unable to get either Of
them, he Is willing to support the

More than that, Senator Underwood
came squareIy into the open as the
willing leader Of a revolt Of Demo

dents mandate that there must be

Senator Underwood is firmly Of the
opinion that II peace is not quickly
