Secretary of the Navy Daniels APP
peared before the senate subcOmmit-
tee investigating navy awards and re-
piled vigorously to the charges made
by Rear Admiral Sims and others.
He read a prepared statement in
which he took up point by point state
ments before the subcommittee by
Admiral Sims and dwelt at consider
able length on the two major dis
agreements voiced by the admiral
namely, the awarding Of decorations
to officers who lost their ships through
submarine attacks or by mines, and
the relative Importance of shore and
sea duty. On the latter Mr.. Dam
iels said he had not and never would
approve disparity between awards
given men who served on shore as
compared with the men who went to
sea-" Admiral Sims, he asserted,
probably advocated high awards for
many officers who served on staff duty
ashore and few awards for officers
who went to sea because most of
Admiral Sims duty in the navy has
been on Shore"
Secretary Daniels declared there
was nothing the matter with the
morale of the navy except shortage
of enlisted men in many ratings and
insufficient pay for officers and men
left.

The conference committee of the
senate and house reached full agree
ment on railroad legislation, and it
seemed certain that the remodeled
Esch- Cummins bill would soon be
reported to both houses and passed
before March /. AS it now stands
the Cummins antistrike provision is
omitted but the Esch voluntary arbi-
tration plan is strengthened by the
creation of board of appeals of five
members to be appointed by the pres
ident. Public opinion will be relied
on to prevent strikes. The Cummins
section providing for an average re-
turn of 51a per cent remains but the
interstate commerce commission Is
given authority, after one and a half
or two years, to change the percent
age. Earnings above 6 per cent are
to be divided equally between car
riers and a fund to be administered
by the commerce commission for the
benefit of weaker railroads. The
guaranteed standard return now in
effect is to be continued for six
months the government paying the
deficit. A revolving fund of $3OO,OOO,-
600 is established to make loans to
the railroads.

Whitfield HAS
FIGHTING SPIRIT.
Whitted'E worth to the team, according
to Evers, lies in the fact that he is one
Of those rare birds--a fighter who never
knows when he is licked.
Give me two Whitteds on a baseball
club" remarked the Trojan, land I'll find
the rest of the players to go with them
and come mighty close to winning the
pennant."
Whitted's influence with other players
may be found in the fact that he can
play practically any position on ball
club and do good job of it. He is gem
orally looked upon as an outfelder, but
with Pittsburg he has played as many
games in the inield as he has at any 9TH
er post. He recently has been so}ourn-

Whitted was a member Of the Braves
of 1914 when they sensationally won a
pennant and a worlds championship. So
was Evers. So John undoubtedly knows
whereof he speaks when he mentions the
nerve Of his former clubmate.

H0L.COsrB-HoKEs;
RECORD GOOD.
In their race to capture the Manufac-

prayed consistent game that has rarely
been equaled in the city. Only two
games were dropped during the entire
season and most Of the games were an
nexed by 4 large margin of runs. The
team as it is now organized is essen
tally the same as that which started
the season early in the spring.
This team was recruited entirely from
an organization not so large as the
others taking part in the city champion
ship combat. There were no stars OF
any magnitude among the material. This
team as It was finally developed was
composed entirely of good, consistent
ball players, who could be counted on
70 be there with the goods day in and
day out.
Early in the season work was started
and from the start special emphasis was
laid on team work and today co-ordi-
nation not only in the field, but on the
base paths has been developed to a high
point.
Great care has been taken to develop
all around baseball players; the lineup
can be shifted to accommodate any emer-
Rency and the loss of any particular
player through accident does not seri-
ously cripple the team.
A large Part of the success gained by
Holcomb & Hoke is due to the whole
hearted support given the team by Their
rooters- The team is backed by a crowd
OF 100 per cent baseball enthusiast
Good. support from the bleachers has
enabled Holcomb & Hoke to bring home

GibsOn's Return to
Pirates Puts CLUB
in Contender Class
Combined Efforts of Veteran
and Whitfield Are Making
Things Hum.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-When George
Gibson returned from the International
league to the National and took over the
management of the Pirates, an old-tinla
era in Pittsburg baseball began to show
rejuvenation.
The man who did the bulk of the work
behind the bat during the long term or
years Fred Clarke managed the team and
who stuck along while Jimmy Callahan
piloted the team, seems to be the only
one of several tried out in Pittsburg who
has the ability to put across a pennaLb
contender.
