COAST ARTILLERY
! CUT HELD MENACE.
Decrease in Enlisted Force
Leaves Many Harbors De-
fenseless, Gen. Coe Says.

Decreases made during the last
fiscal year in the NUMBER of coast ar
tillery enlisted personnel leaves
many of our fortified harbors practi-
cally without any protection what
ever, and none of them-even the
most importa&t-with anything like
an adequate protection in emergency"
Maj. Gen. F. w. Coe, chief of coast
artillery, reported to Secretary Weeks
today in his annual report.
After showing the strength of the
Coast Artillery Corps to be less than
at any time since 1901" Gen. Coe said
he feels it his duty ito urge strongly
that careful attention be given this
condition
"The Importance of this matter" he
continued, "is such, and the necessity
for the increase so great, that / feel
impelled to urge, If it cannot be ac-
complished in any other way. that it
be secured through congressional ac-
tion in the form of an increase in the
authorized strength of the Regular
Army for allotment to the Coast Ar
tillery Corps"
Lack of Equipment.
The report also asserted that many
OF our modern batteries will con-
tinue to be without any system for
fire control and adjustment for many
years" unless substantial increases in
appropriations can be obtained from
Congress.
installation of coast defense bat
teries and anti-aircraft gunds, the
report said:
There are four new types of anti
aircraft guns now in process Of de-
guns is the 50-caliber machine gun
with horizontal range of about
$1,000 feet. straight-up range of
of about 500 shots minute. Fire
control is to be maintained with this
gun through new tracer ammuni-
tion, visible by night up to $500
feet. and by day up to 5000 feet.
The 50caliber gun is under man
ufacture for issue as substitute for
the 30-caliber weapon now used,
which, latter is relic of war days.
THE second gun under develop
firing high explosive shells With
fuses so delicately adjusted that the
shells. while safe to handle before
firing, explode on contact with bal
loon fabric once they have been dis
charged from the gun.
Enables Gunner to Follow Target.
"The third new gun in the group
is a three-inch weapon on a mobile
mount with rate of fire of fifteen
shots q minute, effective at attitudes
up to $1,000 feet and with full 800
degree traverse to enable the gunner
to follow his target In any direction.
Gun No. in the anti-aircraft list
is the 4.7-tnch, firing a forty-five
pound she'll to an effective altitude
of 10000 feet. This gun also can bc
f1red at an elevation of eighty de.
grees or within ten degrees OF
straight over the gunners head.
THE construction of additional
batteries included in approved 16-
inch gun projects Is being under
taken as rapidly as appropriations
will permit. Adequate appropria-
tions for f1re-control installations for
this armament should be made at the

NEED 100000 POUNDS
OF SEED FOR GOLF LINKS

CHICAGO. January 25.-Golf clubs
will use 100000 pounds of grass
seed this year for reseeding the $500
links extant and for planting approx
imately 200 new courses. according to
the estimate made today by a seed
dealer.
The older courses, comprising some
100000 acres. use an average of 400
pounds a year. while the new links
require 5000 pounds for the first
sowing. Most Of the seed used for
fairways is blue grass and redtop
while on the velyety putting green's
rarer grasses OF the best variety find
favor.
To obtain the supply necessary for
golf links the total production is
combed by seed men, who select the
best stock. or about 20 per cent of
the total supply, in order to avoid
weed seed. This choice seed sells for
close to SO cents pound, so that the
outlay of golfers for grass seed is
about 81 100000 a year.
The Department of Agriculture has
discovered that the surest and quick
est way to produce putting greens is
by rolling into the prepared ground
cuttings OF grass pulled from propa-
eating beds. The buried grass roots
sprout freely and sturdily, making
fine green in couple of weeks
whereas the tender blades from seeds
need to be nursed for a whole season
before the green is usable.
AS golf clubs spend from $40, 900 to
$4,000 yearly for the upkeep of their
links. the cost of seed is small per-
centage of the total upkeep.

Babe believes that his winter in the
country will completely heal the in

In these practice games / have an

Pitchers Are Studied First.
My pitchers are always my first study
the catchers and fielders being taken up
later. There are so many boXmen and
some so green that to size them up in
telligently and fairly is long and diff
cult task. A manager cannot afford to
make a mistake. Unless he is extremely
watchful he is likely to overlook some
young fellow with great possibilities.
There are times, too. when some of
my old pitchers have not fully grasped
our system until well in the cham
pionship season. 1t is not that this
system is complicated. 1t is usually
due to these pitchers having so much
to unlearn. They have been permit
ted to get set In bad habits, and some
of them never entirely get out of
them. The most trouble, naturally, is
with the rookie boxmen. The ajor-
ity of them, according to my expe-
rience, have not been coached even in
the first rudiments of the science.
They have been allowed TO run wild
go as they please-by their former
bosses, who permitted them to work
out their own salvation. If they hap
pen to get by with few victories
apparently that has been considered
good enough. Faults are passed over.
Case of Louis Drucke.
came to US a much touted rookie. He
certainly semed to have everything.
In the regular season we suddenly
discovered that the opposing teams
could run bases on him as they
pleased. A runner on first would
know exactly, it seemed. when
Drucke was going TO throw to first
or pitch to the plate. They called the
turn invariably. BY close observa-
ton we soon found the fault. He
had a peculiar habit of lifting his
right heel from the ground just be-
fore he pitched to the plate. He did
not do this when he was going to
throw to first. The other players had
discovered it and were running wild
on him. AS soon as he corrected the
fault his work improved 100 per cent
That little mannerism probably never
would have been discovered in the
minor leagues. Our opponents in the
major league, though, spotted Il in a
week.
