The appeal of the director gcncrnl to railroad officer-; and employe, which will ! posted witiiin a few days at every railway station, shop and roundhouse in the country, is as follows: IltTi is McAdoo'm Apprnl. "The government of the T'rdted States having assumed possession and control of the railroads for the period of the present war with Germany, it Lpoi tivs more than ever 'dilator upnn every officer and employe of the railroads to apply him lf with unre-rrvel cner.:y and nti'in stioned loyalty to his work. "The supreme Interests of the nation have compelled the drafting of a ;-re it army of our best ymm;' men "and sending them to the bloody fields of France to fiu'ht for the lies and liberties of those who stay at home.

3Ionday, Jan. 1 1. Chivington is Opposed to Freak Delivery Laws la riSVILI.i:. Ky.. Jan. I. Thomas M. Chivington, business manager f the Iyiuisvillo club, is opposed to the anti-freak pitchiiv-t delivery legislation jiasseJ by the American association at its last meeting. The former president of the association has considered the new ruling from many angles. "I hae learned." he said, "that it is impossible for the manufacturers to Ket the same hih rade of leather they used to. The n- .' leather, beinr inferior doesn't stand up tinder knocks as the old did. "The rule a-tainst rouchint; the ball is impossible to enforce, because ou can't keep the baseball of today from becoming rouh. As soon as it -jets a little 'winy,' a smart pitcher takes advantage of it. He rubs the smooth side acainst his tlothes, not to roughen it, but to smooth it. The other side of the ball, which is scraped or wingy, ,tes him the emory ball. "Suppose an umpire finds one of these roughened balls in the hands of a pitcher he knows doesn't doctor the ball. The rule says that he must fine him $2.'.. The umpire has 'the goods on him, and if ho dots his duty he will have to tack on a $J." tine every time he finds a roughened ball.

islation to prevent the emory or rosin ball. The rules of the book are sufficient to stop it now." The Colonels' business manager has another protest against the anti-spltball ruling. "Its too abrupt," said Chivington. ".s"uch a rule ought not to be made effective until a year after its passage, so as to enable the teams to build up in the meantime. It would also give the spitball pitchers tinte to develop something tr take tht place of their best asset. "About one-third of the pitchers in the American association are "spitters." If you have to discard the spitball pitchers you increase your task of replacing them. You can't buy other spitball pitchers. It limits the Held in which we can operate."

methotl to solve their matrimonial difficulties providing plenty of good comedy. The mis-mating proves to he more imaginary than real how often may this actually be the case and both are happy to resume their original associations. The production, both in costuming and scenery, is lavish, as it is to be expected of Morosco, and the cast of capable principals is well supported by a chorus that both "looks" and sings. The chorus also provides a brilliant background for several uniuue dancing specialties. Of the musical numbers, "So Ixng Letty," the title piece, took first honors with its recurrent "whistleable" and lilting melody. Other real "hits" among the songs are few but the general good impression of the production does not make this lack apparent. AT TUT. OLIVKR.
