ATHLETICS HELPED
BY SIGNAL TIPPING
Harry Davis, Mack’s Old Lieuten
ant, Tells of Success.
Knew Just What Jim Vaugh Was Go
ing to Pitch in Certain Game, but
Couldn’t Beat Him—Makes
Baseball Uncertain.
Harry Davis at a recent banquet In
Philadelphia admitted that a consider
able amount of
the Athletics’ suc
cess was due to
their ability to
“get” the signals
of the opposing
outfit. Sometimes
It was the sixth
and seventh in
ning before the
“signal scouts”
managed to dls^
cover what the
catcher or pitcher
was “signing,” but - '
when they did get f
it the old slam- ; ■ ' .
mlng started. This • ■
is supposed to ac- c l ~ I < | £
m«ny Harry Oavis.
“ninth-inning fin
ishes” credited to the Mackmen, who
were not so much on fielding, but
were long on hitting.
However, the signal getting wasn’t
always successful, even for such sharp
ers as Davis and Bender, and Connie
Mack's old lieutenant related an inci
dent In this connection:
“It was on opening day of Shibe
park,” says Davis. "The Yankees were
opposing the Athletics. Jim Vaughn,
now of the Cubs, was pitching for New
York. As early as the second inning,
Iwe discovered that Vaughn and not the
catcher gave the signs. This condi
tion was created by the Yanks to out
£uess us.
“They had suspected that we would
% try to steal the sign from the catcher,
f ’Well, about as early as the second in
| ning we discovered through studying
£ the actions of Vaughn that whenever
;! he intended to pitch a curve he would
I hold the ball In his right hand before
| offering it to the batter. When he in
I tended to pitch a fast one, he would
f keep it in his left hand.
| “Now, we knew every pitch he made
*§Just what was coming up. What did
iwe do to him? Well, it wouldn’t be
(any story if we had beaten him by 25
|-uns. Instead of beating him. he shut
MJB out, 2 to 0, In spite of the fact that
?.,:iwe knew what he was pitching. This
M Is what makes baseball the uncertain
F game it Is.”
CASUALTIES OF AMERICAN MARINES IN FRANCE
\\ ASHINGTON, June 18.—The total casualties of the
American marines since their landing in France, up to June 9,
have been 717, according to Major General Barnett, command
ing. I liese include 106 killed in action, 58 who died of wounds,
533 wounded, missing and held prisoner by the Germans.
AMERICAN SUBMARINE SINKS GERMAN U-BOAT
AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 18.—Passengers on an Amer
ican steamer which arrived here today reported that an Ameri
can submarine destroyed a German submarine, with her crew,
off the coast of Virginia several days ago. The steamer’s of
ficers claim that sailors of the American submarine told of the
battle.
TAUGHT SPIRIT
LONDON, May 6 (by mail).—“The
object of the war is to carry the
spirit of President Wilson into the
hearts and minds of the people of
Germany,” declared Professor Spensor
Wilkinson of Oxford in an address on
the “Idea of This War.” He said:
“The German emperor and Presi
dent Wilson are each of them at the
head of a great nation, and each of
them wields in that nation supreme
authority.
“But the two men stand for two
antagonistic systems. The German
emperor is never tired of proclaiming
that he has received a special com
mission from God Almighty to edu
cate and instruct the German people
and other peoples, after his armies
have crushed them.
“Mr. Wilson, on the other hand, was
chosen by the people of the United
States to preside over their govern
ment. He has no commission to edu
cate them. Their idea is to be al
lowed to grow and develop their pow
ers by doing their work. Here is
Mr. Wilson’s conception of his mis
s'on:
“ ‘I feel nothing so much as the in
tensity of the common man. I can
pick out in every audience the men
who are at ease in their fortunes.
But there are in every crowd the men
who are listening to hear somebody
speak the thing that is stirring in
their hearts and minds. It makes
a man’s heart ache to think that he
cannot be sure he is doing It for them;
to wonder whether they are longing
for something he does not understand.
He prays God that something will
bring into his conscience what is in
theirs, so that the whole nation may
feel at last released from it3 dumb
ness, feel at last that there Is hope
and confidence, ar.d that the road may
be trodden as if they were brothers,
shoulder to shoulder, not asking each
other anything about differences ol
class, not contesting for any selfish
advance, but united in the common en
terprise.’
“The object of this war is to carry
the spirit of those words into the
hearts and minds of the German peo
ple. Is that not an object worth liv
ing and dying for?”

| Cool Suit of Jersey for Midsummer ^ ^
Sometimes vve see a suit or dress I
which has been presented by its design
er without any attempt to depart from
good, accepted standards of style in its
construction. The charm of such a de
sign lies in other things than original
ity or startling novelty. It is embodied
in the best use of all the means at
hand to make a perfect garment of its
kind. A lovely example of this con
servative and elegant designing Is
shown in the suit of embroidered jer
sey—made for wear in midsummer—
pictured here. It is in French gray
with embroidery in white and will
please every discerning woman.
There is nothing to say of its design
that is not told by the picture. The
skirt and coat are both cut on the
simplest lines and embellished with a
wide band of embroidery. The belt,
of the material, is narrower than is
usual in this season’s suits and finished
with a small, prim bow at the front
and tho fastening of the coat at the
bust and waistline is managed clever
ly. It is a formal suit to be developed
- -
n either silk or wool jersey with silk
laving certain advantages. The skirt,
worn with a pretty blouse of
georgette crepe In the same color,
makes a semidress costume equal to
iny requirement, In war times, and the
-oat will do service with any frock in
place of a handsome sweater coat. Its
collar is partly white, In the fashion
if smart new sweaters and sweater
:oats, and its color makes It look well
with any frock.
For patriotic reasons many women
will not buy wool. In th'ls suit silk is
:iot offered as a substitute for wool,
but as a more appropriate material
for the character of the suit. A gay
parasol, made of flowered chiffon, is in
keeping with it and correspondingly
Iressy footwear is provided for it in
black kid pumps and gray silk stock
ngs. No other material would do just
is well as jersey for this suit
LESS SWEETS
PHILADELPHIA, June 18—The
ideal “food administration figure’’ has
been defined in a statement issued
by Jay Cooke, III., local food admin
istrator.
"Eat less candy this summer,” says
Mr. Cooke in his heart-to-heart talk
with women. “The less sugar you
are eating the more slender and grace
ful you will become. Besides, you are
conserving food elements for our al
lies and fighting the Hun while you
stay at home.
“There are hundreds of thousands
of children and young people, of both
sexes, in Philadelphia, who can dis
play their patriotism only by act3 of
self-denial. I suggest to these young
people that they display their patriot
ism by cutting down their allowance
of candy, chocolate sundaes, bon-bons
and the various luxuries manufactured
almost entirely front sugar.”
The new sugar rulings, according
to Mr. Cooke, have been designed
solely to give the housewife and the
canner an opportunity to put up a
larger quantity of fruit this summer
“The fact is.” said Mr. Cooke, “that
the sugar situation is not at all en
couraging, and I anticipate that some
stringent rules may be promulgated
after the canning season is over.”
