"Oceangoing vessels of British reg istry before the war were between 17,000,000 and 18,000,000 tons," he said. "At present the total, inclusive . of prizes and new ships. Is slightly more than 15,000,000 tons. I wish particularly to point out how we have sacrificed ruthlessly the needs of in dustry and commerce to war require ments." JUSTICE IS HELD Atlantic City, July 28.—Magistrate Wilbur D. Speece. of Pleasantville, was held under $7,500 bail for the October term of court and Constable Daniel Haff under $5,000 bond to an swer charges of conspiracy and ex tortion entered by autoists. & Gram Copyright, 1817, The Tribune Association (Nef York Tribune). THE THIRD OUTFIELDER In the naming of all-star clubs there has always been one rabid debate of undue proportions. This has been the naming of the Third Outfielder. ._ There has never been any argument, rebuttal, question or doubt about the first two. Ty and Tris have been accepted mechanically. They were beyond all rivalry and all discussion. One merely had to put the figures on dis play and end the polite chit-chat of the occasion. But naming their running mute, or fielding mate, for the Open Job has been another matter. And it still is. There was a time when Joe Jackson was batting .408 and .395 when Joseph horned into the select potpurri by making his way in with the old ash furniture. Jackson batting .408 and .395 could not be overlooked when the basic value of the base hit was figured In. For a base hit never gets below par. But Jackson batting under .300 was another matter. The Carolina swatsman had to range above .340 to lie placed upon even terms of value with others batting under .300. For the greater part of his value has al ways been as a batSman, not as a fielder or base runner. IN THE GRABBAG Last season it looked as if Dave Robertson would take his place with the two elect. Dave apparently had everything needed—the wailop, the speed and the arm. But Dave has failed to hold his high place with the super-entries. This season he has been driven back by half a dozen who have passed on beyond him. Reaching into the grab-bag several names come out. The most valuable outfielders in the American League for a third choice are Bob Veach, of Detroit; Welsch, of Chicago; Milan of Washington, and Lewis and Hooper, of Boston. Hooper is the star outfielder of this lot, but batting under .250 lets him , out. Felsch is a grand outfielder, one of the best, but he is now under .275. Lewis is another bird of brilliant plumage, but he, too, is well below .300. \ each and Milan are the only two poised around the .300 plateau. And it would be hard to pick a star outfielder to move with Cobb and Speaker batting below this mark. IN THE NATIONAL Names to be considered in the National embrace Roush, of Cincinnati; Cruise, Wheat and Griffith are lusty swatsmen. But the choice belongs of Cincinnati. Cruise, Wheat and Griffith are lusty swatsmen But thte choice belongs between Roush and Burns. And it is no soft, velvet-coated choice. Burn, is one of the best outfielders we have ever seen. He is a steady .300 hitter, a fine base runner, a great run getter and a brilliant workman along his range. What is more, you can count on him for 154 games a year. He has missed but one game in the last 550. Roush has done his best work this season. He also is a fine outfielder and he has been outbatting Burns by nearly fifty points most of the year. Roush isn t yet as finished a ball player as Burns is, but he gives prom ise of being one of the elect by another year. NARROWING THE CHOICE The pick for the Third Outfielder soon narrows down to Veach and Felsch in the American against Burns and Roush in the National. Of these four we like the two National League entries best. Take Roush against Felsch. The Red star is batting sixty points over the White Sox luminary, and this is a massive margin in any comparison Burns and Veach are quite a bit alike. Both are highly valuable pro ducts who don t quite get all the credit they deserve, for the main reason that both are inclined to be quiet actors, far removed from the tempera mental class. They play ball and let it go at that. So the selection of the third outfielder to trial with Ty and Tris comes down to this— If this season's work alon.e is to be counted Roush wins. If the play of the last few seasons is to be figured in, then Burns wins. But the main detail is this; Beyond Cobb and Speaker no one outfielder has yet fought his way forward as the undisputed selection; no other star has ranged high enough abov© the field to be awarded the choice without debate. There are still four or five in a bunch, of almost equal value. "No one now to bet against Giants," says an exchange. Not in the Na tional League affair. But when the World series arrives there may be more than one delegate in Chicago or Boston willing to horn in with a tidy wager that the American League is still supreme. "Baseball," says an expert, "is merely a. matter of making runs." Not entirely—there is also a slight science in preventing the other club from making more runs—a detail that is often overlooked in ranking the wallop as the controlling factor of the game.

Benny Leonard Pleads Guilty on Speed Charge New York, July 28.—A haughty looking automobile nosed up close to a standing street car in Williamsburg yesterday and Traffic Policeman O'Connor arrested the driver for vio lating the eight feet distance rule. "All right—l'm guilty," the pris oner said. "What next?" He was taken before Magistrate Reynolds and fined $25, which he paid by peeling off two layers of what Chief Clerk McKeon called "the biggest roll I ever saw." It was so big that eevrybody in the courtroom who had not paid any at tention to the case before wanted to know "who the millionaire was." "Benny Leonard, aged 21; occupa tion, boxing; address, 101 West One Hundred and Fifteenth street," was what the record of the case read. U. S. Guns to Use Only American Ammunition Washington. July 38.—The major item of the War Department's sup plemental war estimates, listed as $2,- 468,613,000 for armament for lortifi cations. covers the bulk of the mobile artillery program including mobile guns of all caliber, Secretary Baker explained to-day. Mr. Baker also corrected the im pression that great numbers of the guns to be used by American troops in France would be finished in French gunshops and fitted to French ammu nition. All of those finished abroad will be bored and rifled for American ammunition, he said, and the total number so finished will be only a small part. Resorts MOUNT GRETXA, PA. MT.

For real sportsmen, trap shooters have no equal. One never Hears any kicks. If a question is raised, a decision ends further argu ment. Win or lose, shooters are always happy. Few shoots have been held In Harrisburg without Neaf Apgar, the veteran professional. A shooting match would not be a success with out him. He is always ready to take a hand at scoring or refereeing, giv ing any advice that may be needed. Reading is still leading the Allison Hill League with five victories and no defeats. This aggregation looks like a runaway winner of the second series. Last night Reading won over Stanley A. C., score 9 to 7. It was Ibach's long drive that brought the victory. There were two men on bases when this big feat was per formed. Ban Johnson expresses a hope that the world's series will be called off. It looks as if the American League leader was afraid he did not have a chance at this season's champion ship. Those who are In a position to keep up interest in sports should do A 1 Palzer Is Near Death; Wounds Inflicted by Father Fergus Falls, Minn., July 28.—A1 Palzer, a heavyweight pugilist, is near death in a hospital here suffering from bullet wounds inflicted by his father.

President John K. Tener, of the National League, sees no reason why the series should not be played if the game is finished this season. Base ball players will not be needed until • after the baseball season is over. In the Lucknow Shop League se ries yesterday the Clerks and Smith Shop played a 1-to-l game. Chard and Douglas were pitching stars. The game ended following a dispute on the umpire's decision, the Smith Shop refusing to finish the game.
