Just to jog the memory of those v Jtichmond folks who have forgotten that a lot of their boys are still in the service, First Class Sergeant L. F.
( t ozie, wno 13 now stationed m xnc
Dix, has written to The Palladium, faying: "It has been some time since I have received a card or letter from Richmond, and I am taking this opportunity of saying that there are still some Indiana boys in the service (no small number), who are always pleased to hear from their home town, county or Mate. "Apparently since the signing of the armistice we are forgotten, but those of us who. must remain in the service indefinitely can not so soon, or so easily forget. "Of course, many are now back to their homes and enjoying the fact that they served their . country in every way possible In the time of need. But those who volunteered Just prior to April 3rd must continue to serve their entire enlistment period, so please jog 4 . Kome memories through the columns of your paper to the fact that a soldier appreciates nothing more highly than a card, letter, paper or word from the 'Home Town.' "Many Wayne county and Marion county boys are here now, and wish you 'Happy Days.' " Captain Marshall A. Welbaum, of Union City, is listed in the casualties as slightly wounded. Harold Mitchell, of this city, has arrived in New York City following several months service overseas.

Accommodations will be made for one of the largest crowds ever appearing at an opening Saturday Afternoon League game. A record breaking crowd is predicted by the managers because of the fact that the teams this year are oi the best caliber ever turned out by the S. A.

Complete Lineup Friday. In order that each team could have an equal opportunity to play on the Exhibition park, and that no team would have the advantage of playing on one diamond too many games, several changes were made in the schedule Tuesday night. The American Seeders, the Jenkins-Vulcans and the Wayne Works, having more games on Exhibition park, were switched to the play grounds where two of the teams that diamond. The lineups of the six teams will have to be official by Friday at noon and only fifteen men retained on each playing list. A man to play in games of the S. A.

GATON IS SOME LITTLE ASSISTER James Howard Caton, diminutive shortstop of the Pirates, has gone through a nine-inning game without a' fielding chance, and like Charley Hollocher of the Cubs, who turned the feat in Chicago Friday, has run up double figures in assists in a contest of regular length. Hollocher, last Friday, against Pitts burg, assisted in retiring eleven men. The day before Caton didn t have a chance, an absolutely idle day for a shortstopper being a rarity. Just before Buster left the army last summer he had an experience distinctly different from that in the lid lifting game in Chicago, for at Brooklyn on July 24 he put out one man and assisted in putting out ten more, most of his throws being from deep short. Caton, who will play short stop for tlio Pirates when they visit Richmond on Wednesday of next week, is a graduate of the Ohio State league, though he went to the Pirates from Birmingham of the Southern association. He was born in Zanesville, Ohio, and did his early professional work with the Portsmouth club, helping that team-to win the penant in 1915. One of Portsmouth's catchers in 1915 was William (Pickles) Dilhoefer, now a member of the Cardinals tha Pirates' opponents here next Wednesday. Caton is smaller than Rabbit Maranville of the Braves, but of a different build. The nickname of Buster was wished on him by a Pittsburgh scribe on account of his bustling, hustling propensities. James Howard now ranks with the best shortstops in the National, experts declaring that defensively he is as good as Maranville or Hollocher. Of course he is not a fence breaker like Rogers Hornsby, who will play short for St. Louis here next week, but he manages to get his share of safeties and breaks up a goodly number of ball games. ORLANDO IS (Continued from Page One) blood is of our blood No! Italy does not need to put forward a formal thesis in support of her demands, feeling sure that violence will not be done to the will of this Italian town." Premier Orlando reiterated that the treaty of London did not prevent the allies from considering the Fiume question from the Italian viewpoint and that moreover the allies had admitted they were in nowise bound regarding Fiume, since they considered themselves capable of agreeing to the ireedom of the city. Settlement Distant In Cuba Tobacco Strike (By Associated Press) HAVANA, Cuba, April 30. Apparently there is little prospect of an early settlement of the strike of tobacco workers of Havana and Pinar Del Rio Provinces, which has been on for nearly two weeks and was called primarily in sympathy with the striking cigar box workers, who refused to accept pay on piece work basis. Representatives of the larger tobacco houses where the men are on strike recently sent messages to declare in the United States and England making inquiry as to their atti tude toward higher prices to meet the demands of the cigar makers for a twenty per cent increase in pay. A reply from one of the most important firms in the United States stated that increased prices for Cuban tobacco would favor the American tobacco industry and be ruinous for that of Cuba and that they Could not continue to favor Havana manufacturers with their orders if the strikers succeed in forcing prices to the prohibitive point. A message from the executive committee of the British Chamber of Commerce states that the British government has thrown on the market large quantities of the tobacco bought for the army and that, because of the supply and the high custom rates, higher prices would force cancellation of orders already placed for the Cuban product. The swiftestdog in the world, the borzoi, or Russian wolfhound, has made record runs that show seventyfive feet in a second.
