Many Fans Injured in Fall of Columbus Bleachers By Associated Press Columbus, Ohio, April 18.—Forty two men were "injured, fourteen of them seriously enough to warrant hos pital attention, in the collapse of a section of the west bleachers at Neil Park yesterday afternoon just before the start of the baseball game be tween the Columbus Senators and the Louisville American Association team. The accident occurred while the teams were practicing, following a patriotic demonstration which marked the opening of the American Association season in Columbus. More than twelve thousand fans had gathered to witness the season's inaugural and the west bleachers, just behind third base, were crowded. A dozen physicians in the grandstand re sponded to the call for help and gave lirst aid to the injured. More than 100 persons fell when the section gave way, but of this number only 42 were found to be .hurt. Only one man, Elmer E. Crozier, is thought to be dangerously hurt. He suffered a frac ture of the right arm and internal in juries. First Protest For Tener Comes From ManagerMoran By Associated Press Boston, April 18.—The Philadelphia Nationals have protested Boston's twelve inning victory yesterday. Man ager Patrick Moran announced last night. A decision by Umpire Brans field, who declared Pitcher Lavender, of the Philadelphia's out for running off the line between second and third bases in the third inning when Phil adelphia scored five runs, was the basis of the complaint. Lavender had started to cross the diamond from second, apparently be lieving he had been called out on a play at that base, but turned and reached third base before the ball was thrown to that position. Manager Moran said his protest was based on the ground that a run ner cannot legally be retired for leav ing the baseline unless intending to avoi,d being tagged.

At the Edge Work is dull and play is duller Where the mighty Shadow waits; Where the crimson, flame draws nearer And the storm is at our gates; With divided concentration. Each must grope across the bridge— What is sport or law or labor In the glow of Vimy Ridge? Once I thought of Cobb or Speaker, Once 1 turned to double plays; Now a Shadow seems to stalk me Through the length of restless days Where the hand of Fate seems reaching Through the shades of forming lines, Where the air is full of murmurs, . And the sky is full of signs. Once I felt the spell of April Through its sunshine and its rain; Now the putt no longer thrills ijie, And the fairway calls in vain; There are voices from the roadside, There's a whisper from ledge, And the winds are rife with echoes As we wait upon the edge. "What sport," queries R. L. L., "do you think will furnish the greatest pro portion of men for war?" Without any undue hesitation we should say foot ball. Undoubtedly. •Johnson's Span Walter Johnson begun his eleventh major league season with a shutout, at tached to three hostile hits. Judging from those who saw him work, the Idaho Shrapnel has as much speed to-day as he had ten years ago. This seems reasonable enough, despite reports that Johnson was slipping a bit. The National star is not only a pitcher with rare physical power, but he has one of the easiest pitching motions ever known. There isn't a jerk or a kink in his delivery. The whole affair is a matter of perfect rhythm, and this means, as a rule, unusual length of service. Johnson is now only twenty-nine years old. As he takes the best care of himself and rarely worries under lire,-he should have at least eight years more. Washington may be no pennant contender, but there are seven ball clubs who will not be caught cheering on the days that find Weiser's favorite son in the rifle pit. . ISig Men and the Ganic Dear Sir: Military training is one of the best things in the world for de veloping a man. It is not very different from athletic training—take baseball, for Instance. You will And that the big leagues are filled with big men. To those of you who say, "1 can think of lots of ballplayers who are small," I only ask you to go Over a dope sheet showing the heights and weights of the members of a team, or, better, pick out the smallest man. on the field at a game, dnd then meet him afterward for comparative measurement. Of course, this is not written to shot putters, but to average men. Sleepy Steve Why not train our riflemen to shoot from the left shoulder? Left-handed hitters in baseball include Cobb, Speaker, Jackson, Sisler, Collins, Baker, Dau bert, Crawford and most of the other leaders. In the old days the right hander was king. Lajoie, Wagner, Delehanty were vj.ll members of this tribe. Hut the right-hander as a leading batsman is now fading gently and softly back of the ridge. One of the favorite ballads of war used to be: "We were ordered to charge, and not to stop, and we charged right into a whiskey shop." But prohibition has knocked most of the melody from this ancient refrain. April Voices O, Little Winds of April, You whisper in a song Of solitudes that linger Beyond the rushing throng— Beyond the crash and clamor— Hcyond the greed and gain— Of life among the blossoms That crown the open lan.e. O, Little Winds of April, You echo in a sigh For those who may not follow To where your journeys lie; To those who may not follow Along the open lane, Beyond the hurt and heartache, The sorrow and the pain. After concluding a series of burning debates with Heinie the Zim, National League umpires already appreciate the full effect of Germanic machine gun fire. Not forgatting the ancient maxim—"One pound of assault weighs more than two pounds of defense."

Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion, easily bested Battling Nelson, in twelve rounds of boxing here last night. The champion ducked, dodged, sidestepped and backstepped whenever Nelson started a blow and was not hit solidly more than half a dozfcn times. Welsh also showed his punishing power. His left darted to Nelson's face repeatedly, and his infighting was far superior to the Battler's. Both Moil Hjilit The contest was not all one sided, however. Nelson never failed to meet Welsh, and never did he back of an inch. In the eighth Nelson hit Welsh squarely, but the blow appeared low. The champion backed up against the ropes, but Referee Ed Smith mo tioned the boxers together again. Welsh, apparently angered, then be gan his only real attack. He slashed Nelson with right and left hooks and pummeled his body. Nelson soon was bleeding, and at the end of round eleven, both men were crimson from a cut in the Battler's lip. Nelson weighed 132, Welsh 135. KRAI'SE WINS AT READING Reading, Pa., April 18.—Johnny Krause, of Philadelphia, bested Paul Edwards, of Brooklyn, at the Watson A. C. wind-up, last night.
