est in years, Boston and Detroit will be greatly strengthened with their new additions.
 Boston especially has a good all around ball team with Grove as kingpin. The acquisition of Coch- rane as catcher will help Detroit greatly as playing manager and he should be a great spark plug for his team.
 The Yankees no doubt will be the team to beat, for they have acquired two potential stars in Heffner from Baltimore and Rolfe from Newark. These new players with their batting punch, will make the Yankees a serious threat for the 1894 flag, to say the very least.

JOHNNY R0HR SHOWS SPEED:
 IS SIGNED UP
Street, Who Caught Big
 Train" Sees Success sor Tn Coast Rookie

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 6. Charles "Gabby" Street, the man who caught the steaming pitches of Walter Johnson in the latter's greatest days, believes he has come across the most terrific speed since the Big Trail'' was burning up the American League.
 Streets find is Johnny Rohr, raw-boned youngster who drifted into the Woodland training camp of the San Francisco Mission club. After watching the 19-year old smoke the ball over the plate few times, the Mission manager signed him.
 Rohr stands feet 2a inches and weighs PIG pounds. His home is in Mauteno, Ill, and he has had no previous professional baseball ex- perience.
 I've watched a lot of pitchers in 36 years" said Street, but this young fellow has shown me more speed than any since Walter John sons time. He's green as grass but we're going to hang onto him. We'll try to place him with some smaller league
 Street returns to the Pacific Coast League after long career in the majors, the last few years of which he managed the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a catcher with the San Francisco Seals in 1906 when he was sold to Washington to become the battery mate of Jonnson. ee

CATHOLIC CHARITIES
PUBLICITY PRAISED
National Council Makes Awards
for Best Work in Social
Field.

The National Conference of Catholic
Charities with headquarters in this
city, has been cited for the handling
Of publicity during its annual meeting
in New York City last Fall. by the
National Social Work Publicity Coun-
Gil. The council also made nine
other awards in the field Of social
work Interpretation.
The awards, announced yesterday,
are for distinctive contributions dur
ing each year in the presentation Of
information and ideas on work in
depreciation and the financing of
social agencies.
The citation stated, in part:
The conference itself, held under
the patronage of Pope Plus XI, was
an event-like the Century of Prog
reSS-rare and distinctive, and in
cluded another Tooth anniversary, the
founding Of St. Vincent de Paul
Society. So distinctive, indeed, was
the occasion, that it could have been
pretty well left to make its own way
into public consciousness through the
press and other media. But this line
Of least resistance was not followed.
The importance of the occasion was
matched by a thoroughneSs and skill
in Interpretation that was a treat for
publicity workers to see in action"
