to throw a curve ball"
There was once a pitcher named
Mordecai Brown. He was known
as "Three-fingered" Brown. He
pitched for Frank Chances Chi
cago Cubs, three times holder of
the National League championship
and twice world champions. Brown
was the Cubs best pitcher.
1t is possible that some corre-
spondent, looking at Browns mu-
tilated pitching hand, may have
passed him up. Indeed, it is prob
able.
If Leo Moon, young southpaw
at Tampa, thinks ne can pitch, has
the requisite physique and suffi-
Gent gray matter under his cap,
he'll be a pitcher, even though two
OF his fingers have grown to-
gether, no matter what war corre-
spondents may have said about
him and his chances. He may
find his own peculiar method Of
throwing a curve, that's all. And
who will say that he can't
SarasOtans Are Foolish.
THE New York Giants are
training at Sarasota, Fla.
When they landed in town it
was found that some one had blum
dered regarding their hotel accom-
modations. They were not treat
ed right, and some Of the war cor
respondents said so in a joshing
way.
Apparently some of the Saraso-
tans are thin-skinned. They imme-
diately took offense at what was
written. When the New York
sports writer's had the audacity to
mention the cloudy skies and the
rain storms, the Sarasotans went
into Mysteries, declaring everlast-
ing war against the correspond
entS.
The Sarasotans are foolish. Sar-
asota is said to be a beautiful
place on the Florida West Coast,
but millions read the New York
newspapers, and if those millions
are to read Of the thin-skins, they
will draw their own conclusions.
Sarasota, like every other city
in Florida, Is in the market for
Northern capital, openly and bla-
tently in the market. The best
way to kill the project is to make
the Northern newspaper writer's
write seriously what they think.
So long as the writer's merely josh,
all's well. Their readers are &C.
customed to that, though appar-
emily Sarasotahs are not.

CALL FOR PRE-WAR BONDS
Krupps of Essen Offer Redemption

NEW YORK, April 24-Local bank

ed for redemption their Dre-war &
per cent bonds. dated 1893 and 1gOS
offering holders 10 per cent of their
lace value in gold marks and I0h
per cent in new per cent gold mark
bonds. Each issue is believed to have
totaled about $4,000, 900 marks.
So far as is known here, this is
the first offer of German industrial !
interests to redeem their pre-war
obligations in other than paper cur

are held in this country, many of
them having been purchased as "in-
vestment,s particularly by persons
of central European antecedents,
when paper marks were selling in
this country as high as cents apiece.
The action of the Krupp interests
in paying off these obligations in
gold, it is said, may lead to similar
action by other German industries
which have pre-war bonds outstand-
ing. Little hope is entertained here,
however, that any effort will ever be
made to pay in gold loans contract
ed after the outbreak of the war in
