With a view to correcting this con-
dition and to maintaining, during
times of stringent economy, a smaller
and better officer body, bill to re-
adjust the commissioned personnel of
the army is submitted for your con-
sideration.
Briefly, the bill wcy'd result in 4
reduction to about $4,000 officers on
the active list. The reduction will be
made in the various grades in such
number as to produce suitable dis
tribution throughout. The method
proposed conteniplates retirement and
discharges of officers, some of whom
will be those least effective, who can
we'll be spared, and others who apply
for retirement or discharge. The bill
provides a compensation to the of
ficers, who go out, that is believed to
be equitable.
"The reduction is so distributed in
point of time that further unduly
rapid promotion will not take place
because Of the suggested absorption
of a number OF majors and captains"

Some sweet play around shortstop
Is sure TO be seen during the world
series. AS in the case OF first base.
the three ehortstops who have a
chance 70 get into the big event are
all stars.
Dave Bancroft. captain OF the
Giants, IS the best IN the National
League, and Everett Scott. the Mara
thon player OF the Yanks. and Wal
ter Gerber, of the Browns. are as
good as there IS in the American.
Like Wally Pipp, OF the fanks'
Gerber is an under estimated player.
He isn't a demon with the stick, but
he is not a mark at the bat by any
means. He has a good arm and Is
a graceful and reliable fielder.
Bancroft carries heavier load
than any shortstop in the game. Be
ing the captain OF the Giants made
a big lob with a manager who plays
strict bench dictatorship that Nc
graw insists upon. The Giant short
stop IS rather frail physically and at
times during this season he has
shown signs OF cracking. He reached
the point OF staleness several times
and his game was greatly effected.
He also has the misfortune of max
ing his wobbles at the most in oppor-
tune times.
Deacon Scott IS also OF frail build.
but he is an iron man II ever there
was one. He has played in nearly

never shown signs of letting down

ELKToN. Nd, Sept. 1e.-Matt
Donohue's home run over the fence
with 'Red" Wright on, both OF them
Wilmington products. decided the
final game and series between the
Eastern Shore League All-Stars and
Elkton. champions of the Susque-
hama League here yesterday after
noon. Donohue. who played through
the season with Dallas in the Texas
League was with the Sho' outfit and
consequently they won. 10 o. Pre-
vious to yesterday each club had
won two games.
The game was a great finging
duel between Bugs Baer for the
stars and Nose Miller for the
Champs. Only three hits were reg
sstered Off each hurler and both per-
6ormed we'll in the pinohes. Dono-
.hue's waliop was the only telling
blow OF the battle. Wright had re-
ceived a free ticket to first Just
ahead OF him. The homer was the
second ball ever 20 be driven fairly
outside Of the Elkton enclosure.
Two thousand fans witnessed the
final game of the series. and II is
estimated that another thousand
viewed the game from the fence
and perched on wagons and auto

Both Scott and Bancroft are better

They both cover immense territory.
Bancroft Is better going TO his right
than either OF his prospective rivals.
In short series Scott's GOODNESS
and steadiness perhaps makes him
the most valuable of the three play
ers. He never wavers while Bancroft
sometimes blows when any OF his
men wobble. Gerber also shows less
nerve than the Giant captain.
Both Bancroft and Scott have had
the test of worlds series competi-
tion and they are both good money
players" Gerber has never had the
opportunity TO get into a fall classic,
but there IS no reason TO believe that
he would not be equal to the occa-

Scott and Bancroft are 80 nearly

the physical factor is important and

This sort OF evened up the count
but It did not stay that way long.
Later in the bout Sullivan scored
two more knockdowns and was all

must have thought It was a game of
