Fuchs begged Meanwhile not to
go through with the operation, but
the Rabbit was obdurate. I'll be
in there next spring." he chirped
over the phone, ignoring all pleas
by the Judge that he allow the leg
to remain as it was, perfectly set for
normal purposes, but not set prop

seems to be nothing that can be
done about it.
NHARANVILLE broke his leg III
1V1 ST. Petersburg in late March
when he collided with Norman Kies,
Yankee catcher, stealing home.
After two months it was discovered
that the bone had not knit properly
and that another operation was
necessary if Rab was to play again.
He courageously went under the
anaesthetic once again while sur
geons broke his leg with rubber
capped hammers. Now he has sub
mitted to the same ordeal all over
again.
There is a curious bond between
Judge Fuchs and the Rabbit. When
Fuchs, with a wide sentimental
streak, first took over the Braves he
gave the ball players plenty of lee

pay kindness with kindness. He

The Fleet in the Atlantic.

After a successful and record break
ing forty-eight-hour passage through
the Panama Canal, the United States
fleet is again in the Atlantic. The
transfer was a singularly impressive
maneuver. executed without notable
mishap of any kind, and reflects credit
upon the Navy and the canal admin
istration. The feet, comprising one
hundred and eleven vessels, will hold
tactical exercises in the Caribbean for
a few weeks before proceeding to New
York for review by President Roose-
welt at the end Of May. Then it will
carry out practice and training duties
in the North Atlantic, mostly off the
coast of New England, over the Sum-
mer and Fall, with plenty of interven-
ing shore leave for personnel, and
some time in November will return to
the West Coast.
The people of the Eastern United
States welcome the arrival of our
superb armada on this side of the
country and bespeak happy days for
its fifty thousand officers and men
among the kith, kin and friends with
whom they have not mingled in most
cases for the better part of two years.
1t is to be hoped that opportunity
will be found to permit at least a unit
or two of the fleet to drop anchor in
the Potomac, in order that Washing
tonians may share in the greetings
sure to be plentifully showered upon

ment in the service afforded the
public. The problem of supplying
deficiencies, eliminating needless
feeders and lessening the conges-
ton upon the main arteries of the
city is admittedly one of diflculty.
But 1t is not beyond solution. The
motor bus is q large factor to this
end. 1t has proved its efficiency and
in some respects its superiority over
the rail-line unit of transportation.
One-way routing, once regarded as a
doubtful expedient. has in some other
cities proved a highly satisfactory
method, and is now under considera-
ton here as means Of correcting
difficulties.
Public habit Is a decided factor in
this equation The long continuation
Of certain routes and convenient
transportation service makes any
proposal of changes difhcult of &C
C0mpliShment. Yet after changes
have been made, adjustment occurs
which soon leaves but a memory,
quickly fading, of earlier and long
continued conditions.

our sailor folk everywhere on this
seaboard.
When the United States Fleet was
originally sent to the West Coast Its
sojourn there was intended to be a
temporary one. But ensuing events,
particularly the japanese adventure
in Manchuria, dictated the wisdom of
keeping the bulk of American sea
power within the sphere of our Pa
cific interests. The decision to do so
aroused wholly unjustified protest and
apprehension in Japan. After all,
the United States is a considerable
Pacific power. as represented by the
Alaskan coast line and adjacent is
lands, the long stretch of continental
territory between British Columbia
and Lower California, the Hawaiian
Islands and the western approaches
to the Panama Canal. Uncle Sam
owes no explanation or apology to
the Japanese or anybody else for
the United States Fleet
on the Pacific Coast.
Current events in the Far East more
than ever vindicate the Nays policy
in concentrating our strength at sea
on the West Coast. The Fleet is our
sure shield and the place to display
it. with world affairs shaping as they
are, is in the Pacific.
