NEW YORK, March 30—The man
ufactureres of baseball supplies are
laughing at a report which gained
circulation at the outbreak of the
European war to the efTect that
the national sport will be seriously
handicapped next season owing to
the insufficient of baseballs for major
nnd minor league use. According to
the report the hide of the Siberian
pony was the only leather suitable for
baseball covers and since the war had
shut off the supply of skins the world's
series might have to be played with
defective balls next October, if It
was played at all. Investigation has
proved that plain American horsehide
is the only skin used for covering !
baseballs, and the usual supply is in
i sight. *
Followers of international sports
have not a very lively year in antici
pation. Sa far the following import
ant events have been called off: The
Henley regatta, the Davis tennis com
petition, the British national golf
championship, all important racing
fixtures in Europe, the international
yacht race and probably the interna
tional polo tournament. About the
only international events to be expect
ed even remotely will be between
the United States and Canada, ex
cept a few cases of isolated individ
uals.
Calahan, of the Portland club is a
left-hander with a spit ball and a
knuckle ball. Now if he only catch
es measles and smallpox he'll have
almost everything.
Martin Delaney advises the athletes
to change diet in the spring. We
notice that some of the prelim boxers
are changing from snowballs to dande
lions.
rucner joe wngei me omer nay cel

All he got from the Washington play

He celebrated yesterday.
The English will continue racing in
spite of the war. Some of those fel
lows are so patriotic that they would
go to the front if they were permitted
to make a book on the results of bat
tles.
Strangely enough the Gilmore fam
ily has figured prominently in the
athletic life of Packy McFarland.
Henry Gilmore. Sr., was instrumental
in starting the clever brewer on his
way to fame and fortune, and Harr}
Gilmore, Jr., managed the business
affairs of Packy. Now, after an in
terval of years separating the business
dealings between McFarland and Har
ry, and the challenges of the younger
Gilmore, Fred stands ready to box
the man who was started out by his
father.
Manager Blankenship of the Salt
Lake City team has received word
that pitcher Earl Ylngling, formerly
with the Brooklyn Nationals, would
not report to the San Jose training
camp of the Mormons, as his wife
refuses to leave her sick mother in
Ohio, and he does not want to go out
to the coast alone. Yingling stated
that he desired to report but under
the circumstances he would place do
mestic happiness ahead of his base
ball career.
SALE POISONED
TROPHIES STOPPED ■
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON. March 20—The maximum
fine of $250 and costs has been im- (
posed on a firm of Manchester cigar m
dealers for exhibiting in their window ^
an East Indian knife with a card stat
ing: “Genuine War Trophy: Pois
oned throwing knife, kukri, now betng
used by the Ghurkas with great suc
cess against the Germans.”
The court ruled that “this is a public
representation that one of His Majes
ty's regiments is using poisoned wea
pons. It is a most serious charge.
Not a single regiment would dream
of doing such a thing.”
The cigar dealers said that they had
made the mistake in good faith, .having
been informed by the seller of the
trophy that the Indians used poisoned
weapons.

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
BERLIN, March 20—German rail
way cars returning from the front In
Russia according to an order of the
railway authorities, must now be
placarded with the following Inscrip
tion: "Prom Russia—Epidemic Dan
ger-Before reloading must he disin
fected.” The regulation further pro
hibits the use of upholstered cars In
Russian Poland so far as possible ow
ns to the difficulties of disinfecting
them.
The Insect pest Is described as a
*eal danger to the German troops, for
'he parasites, as has been discovered,
•arry spotted fever from man to man.
'Jot n few German soldiers have suc
lumbed to It there. Soldiers' letters
ire accordingly appealing for Insect
jowders and other protective prepara
ions; and the malls have been flooded
vith these that the postoffice has had
o issue orders excluding all mercury
treparations from the malls.
Fortunately the soldiers are able to
;ee the humorous side of the matter,
is is shown by the names that they
lave adopted for the different classes
>f Insects. Some are called "infantry”
ithers “cavalry.” Still another name
or the latter is the “black hussars.”
rhe Cologne Gazette soberly suggests
hat the soldiers adopt the practice of
he Arabs, that of keeping their heads
ihaven, "in order to leave no room for
juartering foreign visitors.”
FRYING TO TRICK
By Associated Press Correspondence!
PARIS, March 20—Five persons are
mdcr arrest here, charged with parti
cipation in a conspiracy to supply
ioldiers at the front with the means
>f tricking the army surgeons and get
ing themselves sent home as no long
>r fit for military service.
Several days ago the postal authori
ies opened an envelope addressed to
i soldier, and found four packets of a
:raish powder, wrapped in a sheet of
lote paper which bore the following
nessage: “Dear husband—I have at
ast discovered a powder which will
live you such palpitations of the heart
hat the surgeons will send yo.u home."
The police immediately arrested the
vriter of the note, and her confession
'esulted in the arrest of a gang of five,
vhom it is alleged, had been driving a
ucrative trade in the sale of tne
'traitor powder" to soldiers at the
ront. Whether the powders were
eally efficacious is not stated by the

LILLI RUSSELL

NEW YORK, March 30—Her Honor,
the Mayor, Miss Lillian Russel!
Who knows but that we'll have the
chnnce to vote for her? (It seems
quite obvious and unnecessary to say
that we will vote for her. if the chance
Is ours.) Who knows but City Hail
will burgeon with blue ribbons and
blossom like a rose—an American
Beauty rose? Who knows but New
York will actually possess The Most
Beautiful Woman Mayor, who no's?
Yes, I thought so, the ayes have It.
Miss Lillian Russell announces hor
iclf n candidate for mayor when
women get the vote. Hair-rippling
lad It thus yesterday.
Didn’t say that the women’s place
vas In the home, said Miss Russell, but
the intimated that her ambitions
were not political.
"I have never looked forward to
loidlng political office," she depre
cated. "I wouldn't think of setting
nyself up as a candidate for mayor.
feel like my mother in 1888, who
was asked by a reporter if she would ■
tot run for mayor of New York. 'Who
will nominate me', she laughed.
I will nominate you,’ cried the
•eporter. And he did, and she really
•an,' ” admitted Miss Russel
Just suppose you were mayor of
Vew York, what would you do?”
The red lips pursed in sudden
■bought, and when their owner spoke
igain it was quite seriously.
I would do everything in my power
o make it impossible for any child
n the City of New York to work be
'ore reaching the age of fifteen. That
was one of the reforms advocated by ;
11 >' mother thirty years ago. I would -
'ollow up and emphasize the splendid j
ampaign for school lunches for poor
'hlldren. until there wasn't a single
mngry child in any school in the city.
"I would go further than that. I :
would have the city do ns they do in
'alifomia, where the women already
ote. Every school child gets medical
ientnl and optical treatment abso- •
utely free. Thus, no matter how
toor or careless the parents may be,
■he child is not allowed to overstrain
ts eyes or suffer with toothache, or
levelop tuberculosis.”
"If you were mayor what would you
lo {or owmen ” I asked.
"I’d keep on with Mayor Mitchell’s
iplendid attempt to teach women how
o buy cheap, nourishing food, and
o provide markets where it can be
tought,” she replied promptly. “My
nother said there ought to be free
markets all over the city where poor
women might purchase good food at
ost. Of course they should be shown
tow to select good, wholesome food,
tnd how to prepare it most tastefully
ind economically.’"
"If I were mayor I would do my best
o give the city a businesslike admin
stration. As a business woman my
self I know what that means. The
:hief reason why I want to vote is
Jecause I pay three kinds of taxes—
>n my property, my income and my
tuslness—and I think I ought to have
iomethlng to say about what is done
with that money.”
