Shakopwre on the Pro-cut War Situation
"Our revels now are ended"
"I do begin to have bloody thoughts"
"Let the sky rain potatoes"
"If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride and hug it In my
1 arms"
'To the wars, my boys, to the wars! He wears his honor in a box unseen
* that hugs his kicksy-wicksy here at homt" —
J "The odds for high and low alike"—
1 "England, bound In with the triumphant sea"
"He is come to open the purple testament of bleeding war"- M
"Plenty and peace breeds cowards; hardness ever hardness is mother ' —
i "The weakest goes to the wall"
Tin* Rhythm Record
We have often wondered where the greatest amount of rhythm was in
■ | evidence upon the Held—in the iron play of Chick Evans —in the easy grace
r jof the late Anthony Wilding—ln the smashing service of McLoughlin—ln
• j the batting of Lajoie—or what?
But after close study of Walter Johnson on the moun.d, the evidence
' seetns to point all his way.
* ; There is nothing of the grandstand player—or the poseur—about the
Washington star. There is none of that "every move a picture" stuff. An.d
3 yet for a blend of perfect rhythm, ease, grace arid all the rest of it Johnson
1 heads the parade.
■ There isn't the semblance of a jerk or a kink or any wasted effort. John
• son began his major league pitching career ten years ago. Yet to-day
i' he has lost no element of his blinding speed. Mainly because his pitching
CI motion is so perfectly adjusted that no great strain is ever put upon his arm.
1 j Rhythoi, among other things, means lack of waste. It means ease. John
son never looks as if he was exerting himself —and yet the ball ghoots over
:as if projected from a rifle barrel.
In his Hrst game of the season Johnson allowed three hits. In his second
' ;start he allowed two hits—and the jump to his fast ball was as pronounced
as it was tive years ago, when he was supposed to be at his best.
The X. 1., and Preparedness
' Dear Sir: The American League has gone in for preparedness in the
i right way. At first 1 had an idea that it was only for advertising purposes
an.d would soon fade out. Now I see my mistake. But what I would like
'| to know is this; How can the older league—the Nationla —keep away from
! such a movement? How can it refuse to do its part at such a time? Why
. doesn't it wake up? Or why doesn't some one wake it up? L. L. F.
: i .
- ! Waking up the National League sounds much softer than it actually is.
: Just why a league with a sporting history that dates back over forty years
; j should be so absolutely out of focus with the times—should be so utterly
i insensible to the new spirit through the land—is beyond all understanding.
- j There is no diagnosing such a situation.
"Is it true," queries a reader, "that Great Britain's amateur golf cham
pion has been killed? No. Larry Jenkins, of Troon, Scotland, who won
;the last British championship, played in. 1914, leTt with the first division
.! of volunteers for France. Since that time reports have come that he has
i been wounded, but he is still alive. As Jenkins has been serving nearly
three years at the front, only a few of those who left with him are still in
. itact. Any number of England's best golfers have been, killed. The list in
, i eludes Jack Graham, Norman Hunter and scores of others who were among
the Hrst to go. But so far the Amateur Champion has escaped.
On Being Ready
. j It has been argued that this nation, trained and ready, would be far more
: eager to jump into war when the present conflict has been concluded. The
i best answer we have seen to this was written some years ago by the late
: Hugh Keough:
"The most peaceable person we ever have met
Was the man who talked softly but ever was set
And figured on giving more than he would get.
And could swing with the cross and the upper:
This man never fought and he was was whipped,
They took him on faith how he looked when, he stripped—
Your bones he would crush when your flipper he gripped
And smilingly asked you to supper."
There is more than a minute bit of philosophy in that one line—"They
i took him on faith how he looked when he stripped"—this comes as close
I to telling the complete story as words could arrange it.
In arranging your baseball dope for the year kindly recall these details—
last season the Giants won two of their first fifteen games and then imme
diately thereafter won nineteen of their next twenty-one. When you have
fully digested this you can then proceed to the next lesson.
One of the main wonders of this nation is that it has never been, forced
to adopt conscription lor its umpires. It is easy to see how a man might
volunteer for war—but volunteering to umpire is another affair.
"So far Les Darcy has traveled 5,000 miles looking for a chance and a
place to fight," notes an exchange. Before Les finally gets discouraged there
is a chance that he can be accommodated at the first recruiting station be
yond the Canadian border. It may be worth looking into, anyway.
BUSY WEEK
FARREL CIRCUIT;
COCK ILL'S
New York State League teams Willi
! show increased activity this week, j
j Exhibition games will be played in i
i every city except Harrisburg. Man
j ager Cockill hopes to have his first
j line-up on Saturday in a game with
| Bucknell Varsity five. Keports from j
' all training 'camps indicate interest- I
ing sport for this season.
Manager Cockill hopes to have at
least 25 men working at Lewisburg
this week. He is scouting in the East
and has an option on several good
men. This must not be taken as an
indication that the local leader is |
not satisfied with his aggregation. [
Mo is more than pleased with his:
prospects for a fast bunch.
Wants Heal Form
He desires to have every depart-1
ment in good shape for the opening j
and needs another catcher and sev- j
eral mound artists. Several of the
pitchers haVe not shown up.
On Saturday Charles Brown, Cy j
Parsons and Arthur Steiner reported
to Doc Cook for practice. In the
Bucknell game Saturday several of
the local players were in the varsity
iine-up and showed fast form.
Manager Bill Cougliliii
Manager Bill Coughlin, of the
Scranton team, of the New York
State League, has completed his
line-up for the present at least. The
former Tiger captain remarked that
lit intende'd signing up no more men
until the opening of the season here !
on May S. The squad of Miners, as 1
I at present constituted, that reported!

Calhoun Is Busy
With a training period of only
about three weeks, Manager John C.
Calhoun, of the Wilkes-Barre Club,
of the New York State League, has
had its work cut out for him in the
I determination to rebuild the Coal
Barons and present the fans of the
Wyoming valley with a new team
on the opening day.
Calhoun has had more than forty
players, rookies and regulars report
to him. Some of them have already
heard the rattle of the tinware and
I have been shipped home.
Others are coming to take their'
places, however, and Manager Cal
houn will have given about fifty play
ers the "once over" by the time the
curtain goes up in the State League.
The "rookie" camp has developed
some surprises. Krom the number
Calhoun expects to land a bunch of
infielders, a couple of catchers and
possibly a utility man, beside? a
pitcher or two to help out.

Pitcher Falkenberg May
Return to Major Team
Indianapolis, April 23.—Pitcher Cy
Falkenberg, of the Indians, may take
a place in the major leagues, proba
bly with the Philadelphia Athletics.
President McGill said he expected to
lose Falkenberg within a few days,
and sentiment will play a big part in
the matter.
In Albany, Ga.. the spring train
ing camp of the Indians, the Athleics
played an exhibition game with the
tribe and Falkenberg pitched in su
perb manner. After the game Mack
made Manager Hendricks an offer for
the pitcher, He said Falkenberg was
of big league caliber and that he
would be a valuable asset as coaclier
for younger pitchers. Since then
Mack has made a frumber of offers of
players and cash but so far none has
been accepted. Harry Davis, the
right-hand man of Connie Mack, was
in Toledo when Falkenberg pitched a
two-bit 14-inning game and he imme
diately wired his boss something.

HARVARD SAVES
MONEY ON SPORTS
Elimination of Athletics Will
Banking of Foot
ball Profits
Cambridge, Mass.. April 23.—The
bugle call that summoned the nation
to war has served to save the Harv
ard Athletic Association $50,000,
which may be Invested in Government
bonds or given to the country's re
sources in some other way. The aban
donment of athletics saved Harvard
a big expenditure in cash this spring,
with only little prospects ordinarily
of getting one-third of the amount
returned.
It costs the Harvard Athletic As
sociation about J150.000 annually to
conduct its sport program.
Freight Car Shortage Is
Showing Large Increase
Railroads of the United States on
April 1 reported to the American
Railway Association a shortage of
1 13,059 freight cars. This was an in
crease of 12,977 cars over the short
age on March 1, and was the largest
reported since the present freight
congestion and shortage began last
September, as well as the largest car
shortage ever reported by the rail
roads.
These three factors are probably
the cause of litis increased shortage.
Shippers, knowing that the railroads,
because of the great demand for cars
and an increasing shortage, are able
to supply only a certain percentage
of the cars ordered, double their or
ders accordingly.
HUGE PAINTING IS CUT
FROM FRAME IN HOTEL
Louisville, Ky., April 23.—Police
and private detectives have been un
able to find trace of the vandal who
some time during Thursday night oV
eary Friday morning cut a iart;e and
valuable oil painting from its frame
on the parlor floor of The Seelbaeh.
The robbery was discovered in the
morning when maids went on duty
in that section of the hotel.
The painting represented a shep
herd dog watching a flock of sheep
and had been much admired. Critics
considered it of great value and it
was further-' prized because of the
fact that it had been in the Seelbaeh
family for many years. The picture
was fifty by thirty feet in dimensions
and was the work o£ some unknown
artist in the Barker studio, London.
I The frame from which it was taken
was the only one in the room which
was not protected by glass.

tendance numbered 21,000. Lasi
