The Martinsville basketball five eclipsed the Richmond Uam on the Martinsville floor by a 32-22 score and Coach Mullins and bis proteges will Htternpt to stage a come-back with a decisive defat for the Martinsville squad.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29. Pity poor Charley Weeghman! The world of baseball is now sitting on his neck and all because he tried to please. The magnates are sore on Weeghman for

a number of reasons and the fans are

likely that Charles is feeling uncommonly blue. One of the chief kicks of the other club owners is that in offering fat sums for players Weeghman has given the players an inflated idea of the value of their services, and they become troublesome in consequence. It is reported that Rogers Hornsby of the Cardinals is holding out fqr an extortionate talary after hearing of the large offers Weeghman had made for him. Other players have been made to feel the same way about it. "If some one offered me a large price for a hoive I owned I wouldn't care so much." said one of the club owners recently, while discussing this phase of the thing, "even though I knew I couldn't possibly afford to part with the horse. But the horse

hall player, though, it's quite a different matter. When I am offered a big piece of change for a player 1 car.'t possibly be without, it only makes trouble for me. Especially, wben the story is played up in "the papers and the player is brought into prominence. The player soon overrates himself and becomes dissatisfied with his wake. Players of this sort never give the team their best." In addition to the kicks of the club owners there are the peeved remarks of the Cub fans. Most of them are croaking because Weeghman hasn't done all that he originally promised, which wa3 to buy all the real talent there was in the league, or so the fans seem to think. They are unhappy because Weeghman has not strengthened the Cubs and weakened the- other teams to the extent that a pennant this season would be a cinch bet. The fans are beginning to suspect, that the Cub infield is most weak and that the outfield is nothing to brag about. They seem to have forgotten tbeir joy over tho arrival of Alexander, Killifer and Tyler. So that Weeghman's situation at present between the fans and the other magnates is not a very pleasant one.

CROCODILE TACTICS Continued From Page One. characteristic of the German campaign in this country since war began? Conforms to German Policy. Oh yes, it does occur to me that Mr. Koll's devotion to the United States

I in times of peace is no more nor bet

ter, than that of the humblest loyal American. No man is better than his sentiments and Mr. Koll's is written in black and white. My compatriots would not be interested in any reply I might make to a personal slur, but I call attention to the fact that Mr. Koll conforms strictly to the German policy in asserting his superiority over a loyal American citizen. German autocracy is plainly apparent. A citizenship is questionable. which in time of war, openly charges the over-patient nation in which he lives, with mudslinging. Defamation of character, is slander, falsehood, aspersion, calumny, libel. There is no judge or jury in America that could by any stretch of the-iniagination or construction of the law support such a charge by any statement I have made. The crowning insult is the fact, that Mr. Koll has not apoligized for his offense to the whole American nation, nor retracted one word contained in his first article, though he tenderly holds up for pity his own lascerated feelings because we insist that German autocracy is the arch-criminal of the centuries, the foulest excrescence on the face of the earth and the utter detestation of all humanity including thousands of its own slave-driven inhabitants. The craft of the German mind is such that we must be alert to all its utterances. Costly experience has taught us that it works like an angleworm in the ground seldom disturbing the surface but packed in dirt just the same. , . Is On Offensive. Mr. Koll's whole position is that of attack, not co-operation or loyalty, for

press any red-blooded citizen that he is other than what this arrignment proves him to be. Hans Koll is exposed and brought to judgment. NEXT! I herewith append "The spirt of America" which I have written in reply to Mr. Koll's announcement that such spirit is "heated and ill-advised." I am proud to be a zealot and T wish that every American soldier could carry it over his heart into battle. The Spirit of America. We proudly march, a glorious host We gather In millions from coast to coast Our firm-shod feet solemnly tread O'er the graves of heroes our mighty dead Who burned like us with consuming zeal And we fight lik them for the common weal.

The following letter is from Claude A. Doyle, . a former employe of the Palladium, but now a member of the 105th Engineers' Corps Band at Camp Sevier, S. C, and was received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Doyle, 76 State street. It describes. In detail, the construction and use of the gas mask in modern warfare. "We took our first instructions in gas defense day before yesterday. They gave us all a gas mask and gave us Instructions how to use them, put them on quickly, and how to adjust them. Did you ever see the picture of them? They are very wierd looking, but are sure effective when properly adjusted. . . . . "I will try to describe one for you. The mask is made of rubber with two goggles to look through, and it fits over our face like an ordinary mask. The rubber is supposed to be air-tight. You are compelled to breathe through your mouth, down through a small tube which lead to a bottle containing chemicals that make the air pure. You

inhale and exhale through the same tube. There is a small rubber clip which goes over your nose and, prevents you from breathing through that organ. Some of the boys could not breathe very well through the tube, but I believe that it was only because they were, not familiar with them, rather than the mask being ineffective. "When not in u.e, the mask can be doubled up and put away in a little satchel, which you carry strapped around your shoulder. After giving us a few preliminary instructions, and telling us how important it :- in, the Major in charge of us marched us over to the "gas house." . They had the little house filled wkh tear gas, one of the gases used extensively on DANCE POSTPONED

though a straightforward reply to these impressive questions would have done more to settle his status as a loyal citizen than his announcement for congressional honors. But there is silence profound and sinister. These queries embodied the very crimes justifying the names, to which he takes exception. But they contain no hint of resistance, protest or re-assertion that the American verdict shall stand unassailed, and that we- intend to contimie warfare against such, unspeakable activities. Don't you see that Mr. Koll is not interested in anaemic inquiries and flaccid interest? But how quickly a virile protest backed up with

There is likely to be a grand grab for fight titles when the war conies to a close. Quite a few of the champions of tho ring will be inactive through the next two years or so if the war lasts that long and at the end of that time they will find them-

titles successfully against the youngsters who are always coming along. Johnny Kiibane, feather champ, has anuounced that he will not fight again till the war is over, and it seems probable that the fans will see little more of him in the prize ring. A year or

Boston promoters recently have had much trouble with that element in the boxing game that killed the sport in New York, but they have hit upon a plan that is bound to bring about good results. As fast as the fakers are discovered they are stamped N. G. and prohibited from showing their wares in Boston again. As Boston is one of the few towns in the east where boxing is profitable, the wrecking crew soon will have to go to work for a living. A number of eastern managers andboxers. now are on the Boston blacklist.

He can cover the bag as well as the average, and he can hit the ball. His only handicap is slowness of foot, but his other qualities make up for it. The Frenchman is in no hurry to accept offers but it is generally believed that he will be found with one of the major league clubs this year.

Philadelphia critics make the prediction that the fans will not turn out next season because the stars have

be added by an outsider that Philadelphia fans were never noted for their attendance, even in the days when the greatest team of many years was operating at Shibe park. Having lost Doc Lavan through enlistment Clark Griffith will open the season with Shanks at shortstop. Shanks had pleenty of experience at the position last season after George McBride was relegated to the substitute ranks. Sheeley, a former catcher, who played first base for the Salt Lake City team last season, may be added to the Cleveeland roster, as the enlistment of Harris and Guisto leaves the Indians without a first sacker.
