FLETCHER MAY
 PLAY AT THIRD FOR THE GIANTS

San Antonio, Tex, March S-whiIe the native sons still shivered under leaden skies, John McGraw yesterday afternoon did not think it too cold to order the first real clash between the Giants and the recruits They went at each other in a seven inning game which gave up some interesting base ball The result was a tie, 2 to 2 The regulars managed to equal the rockies in the matter of errors each side contributing a brace, but the youngsters were outbatted by nine hits to seven
 The regulars had a pretty close call for it was not until the seventh that they tied the score and averted a de- feat Lou McCarty, in the role of pinch hitter, delivered the low which started the run that saved the resu- lars. Hitting for Johnson, the pitcher McCarty doubled. Statz then singled and McCarty scored. The recruits did all their scoring In the fourth inn ing off Johnson. They could do little with Bill Ryan in the first three ses- sions.
 George Burns was relieved from duty with the regulars and his place was taken by Statz, who did well. The former Holy Cross star fields
 
 ing himself more solid with McGraw with every passing day
 Arthur Fletcher, shortstup and cap tain of the team. arrived from his home in Collinsville, Ill., but he took no part in the contes- The regular infield lined up with Kelly at first, White at second, Sicking at sK ortstop and Frisch at third. Bates and Moy- CT. recruit infielders, contributed the heaviest hitting of the day, each mak- ing a three base hit
 F7etcher's physical condition and appearance indicate. that he is alive to the fact that a general reconstruc- ton of the infield is on the tapis and and that it behooves every man to be at his best Fletcher already is down to playing weight. He is not a pound heavier than he was at the close of last season and he is the same old peppery worker When he saw veter- ans like Larry Doyle and George Burns let loose in field practice he let out a notch himself and had to be cautioned into a more conservative use of his arn- He was reminded that Doyle had come up from hot Ha- vana', so he subsided a bit.
 Just where Fletcher is to be sta toned is not known definitely Some declare that his ultimate post will be third base, because McGraw would not want to start with the compara- lively, inexperienced Frisch at the hot corners. However, it is pointed out that Fletcher at third would near three youngsters on the other side ot the diamond. Kelly on first, Frisch or second and possibly Sicking at short stop.
 In discussing this topic Christy MathewSon declared that he had ab, solutely no fear regarding F'risch': ability to hold down third. "He i: said 10 be a second baseman because he played that position at Fordham, said Matty, 'fbut take its from me, h. would make a far better shortstop and he will be right there at thirt base, too"

FRANCE STARTS BONUS SYSTEM
 FOR CHILDREN
Lowering of Birth Rate Causing Concern Through
 out Nation

Paris, Mar. g. Former Premier CIemenceau's pithy advice to the French on his last speaking tour. 'sPay your taxes and have children" !" has been followed by a crystallizint: of sentiment for prompt remedies to the gradually decreasing birth rate.
 How to save France" and like phrases are being used in a vigorous campaign by The National Alliance, organized to fight birth control and to encourage the increase of popu- 1ation by making its an honor to have large families and by giving bonuses for all children after the second.
 Pictures are being used by the Alliance comparing France and Ger many, showing how Frances almost stationary population in past decades and it's present decreases threaten the nation, and it is added, France is lost; nothing can save a nation that commits suicide," unless present con- ditions are remedied. Illustrations are given to show that 1t is possible for race to die out or become sc weak as to be engu1fed in a sudden influx of foreigners. Other pictures contrast the indulgent attitunde to- ward irregular life with the oppro- brium, that, it is urged, should at tach to such conduct.

LAUDER RULES
 YALE BASEBALL
 SQUAD AS GEAR

New Haven, Mar. 9.-Billy Lander, former baseball star at Brown Uni- versity and later a member of the New York and Philadelphia clubs of the National League, is obtaining good results as coach of the Yale team for the simple reason that he lets them know that he is boss He couldn't have learned it in better school and now, judging by results, he is applying successfully as a coach Ehat he learned. Then again, he Knows something about how to handle -0ung fellows which isn't the smallest part of it.
 Lauder's first year at Yale was in 1916. That was the year when Le- Gore, Milburn and others were a1s- qualified by the faculty for some Ess4- witting infraction of the eligibih- ty code. Both Harvard and Prince ton beat Yale that year. In 1917 LeGore was back, but war ended the season after the Ellis had played six games in the South and won mem.
 With the capital pitching of Frank Talcott to help the Blue win all of the eight games it played in 1918 That was another war year and Laud- CT was serving elsewhere, but Talcott was a product of his. The year be- fore he developed hirn in the cage. In 1918 Yale, with a poor lot of players and with five r'Y'' men she1ved by Lauder just before the Princeton series beat both Princeton and liar yard. Sel1eck a small lad, but with the heart of a lion; was developed by Lauder, and, with the pitching staff in a bad way otherwise came through in fine style.
 It isn't as it used to be at Yale, be- tween coach and captain. The days when the captain was boss and the coach secondary are past-at least Lauder will have none of them- He is to be boss or nothing, czar or noth- ing, and he is boss. Therefore, he is getting results, and Yale men, grad uates and undergraduates, are pleas ed immensely.
 Lander" according to one in a position to know, didn't do well at Yale his first year because the boss system hadn't begun to work. It seems that Walter Garter and George Case, big men and capable in Yale affairs, told him to go ahead and be czar, but they neglected to tell the captain, Roland Vaughn, and the old order still held. Lauder, to his amazement, discovered that he was merely an assistant to the captain.
 'He had an infielder at Yale who he was told, hadn't made an error in three years. Here they thought that was great stuff. Anybody who hasn't made an error in three years Lauder told the star, isn't getting around enough to suit me- Then he told the lad something about inf1eld play. The lad made three errors the next game but was soon 8 better infielder than he ever had been and became Varsity caDtain'

.D'ANNUNzIO'S MEN HAVE ''SPAT''
 WITH REGULARS
Call Each Other Harsh Names Nearly Every Day
 Then Battles Over

Plume, Mar. 9--Verba1 conflicts resembling those which take place over back yard fences in family feuds occasionally occur between the Italian regular troops and d'Annunzio's ar diti on the bridge over a narrow canal which separates Sussak from Plume.
 The regulars occupy Sussak while d'Annunzto's men hold Plume. The bridge is but fifty feet long with sidewalk on each side and a space of about 20 feet wide for vehicuIar traffic in the middle. On one side stands a detail of d'Annunzio's guards while on the other stands the senti-
 nels of the regulars, loyal to the King" The bridge is barricaded on both sides with several strands of barbed wire placed in such a way | that vehicles can pass across only by making a serpentine detour.
 An attack from the regulars side
 was rumored throughout the poets 1 domain the other day. The poet,
 himself, with a. detail of arditi and 1 several armored motor cars hastened 1 to the scene.
 | D'Annunzio stood as1ce while his | ardid went forth to battle. They went out on the bridge and called the 1 regular soldiers all sorts of pet names. l the regulars in turn returned the vol ! 1eys of colored verbiage. A few gen. l erals appeared on the regulars side. These were made the subject of in creased and heavy verbal fire from the arditi The latter pressed nearer
 the generals, rubbed their shoulders against them and otherwise insulted l them.

CIDER DRINKING SEEMS TO HAVE
 HIT NEW YORK
All Bars Report Increase In Sale of Apple
 Juice

New York, Mar. 9.-New York city is drinking twenty times as much cider as it did before prohibition. Vir- tua1ly all on sale now contains one tenth of one per cent. of benzote of soda, used to prevent fermentation, but as one manufacturer explained conf1dentialIy, they say that a little sugar or a few raisins counteracts the effect of the preservative,
 At the office of Ole Salthe, assist ant and acting director of the Bu- reau of Foods and Drugs, doubt was expressed that benzoate of soda would prevent cider from becoming hard It was explained that ben zote of soda is used in food products to prevent decomposition and that by Federal law the presence of one tenth of 1 per cent is permissible. It has no effect on the taste, but it has been officially ruled to be a poi son and its presence in larger Quan- titles is forbidden
 Nearly all bars have experienced the increased demand for cider, but no bartender seems to know wheth CT it will develop alcohol in excess of one-haf of l per cent eve sell 1t out too fast,' explained one, as he drew glass from a keg at the end of the bar.
 Joseph L. O'Toole of Grimes O'Toole Company, Inc, TSP Washing ton street, said that cider manufac- turers are enjoying tremendous pros perity-
 Many small firms have moved to larger quarters in the last few months" O'Too1e said ''I know of one man who made $40,o0o from cider alone last year. Sure, we moved, too The cider business has increased 2,000 per cent''
 O'Toole said that "dry'' cider with a higher alcoholic content than is now permissible was popular lasl autumn The consumption has shown virtually no decrease since the law has permitted only the kind that in other years was offered at the county fairs
 Cider has been a. most popular bev- craze for years in States where pro hIbition is an old story. The Bureau of Foods and Drugs is keeping watcE l on the product, on sale now, to guard against any excess of preservative-
