New York baseball fans are indulg- ing in heated arguments over the all important and absorbing question of whether the cause of the Giants’ poor condition can be traced to the train- ing camp. It would seem, from ap- pearances anyway, that this is at least a contributory cause, for while the former diamond idols of New York fandom have been limping along the baseball highway the Yankees have been within walking distance of the top of their league on quite’a few occasions. The Yan- kees’ performances indicate that their severe spring training is showing in the position they occupy in the stand- ing of the clubs of - the American league. In all the winter league ‘“‘dope” the Giants were rated as sure con- | tenders for the big flag right from the start of the season. Then came the spring training period and from the sport scribes traveling with Me- draw’s men came glowing accounts of the Giants being in pink of con- dition. THowever, ‘when the Giants returned to their old home town the baseball fans soon saw that there wasn’t even a shadow of color in the former champions’ playing condi- tion Of course the Giants had a big bunch of hard luck at their training quarters. Wet grounds often kept them for days without regular field practice at Marlin and a warm, sunny day was a rarity. Hotel armchair nractice don’t help much in the grand old game. Of the month spent in the sometimes sunny south less than one-third of this time was really baseball weather. And mnot even these days which could be called-ideal baseball days were bunched near cnough together to make them worth while thinking twice about. ‘When the pitchers needed warmth and sunshine at Marlin the weather man served cooling breezes and cloudy skies. The pitchers did not have enough good days to get their arms in any kind of shape and the games since the opening of the season show the result. Hot weather is what the Giant pitchers thrive on. But admirers of the Giants say the McGraw men have not yet struck their stride. And when they do, look out for their dust! The McGraw ma- chine, 1915 model, has less working parts than the old champion style ma- chine, thanks to the National Com- mission, but followers of the Giants will not admit fewer men have weak- ened the team. On May 1, McGraw trimmed his team right down to the bone, letting five promising recruits loose on that date. And what re- mains of the Giants’ force is all meat —there’s ho excess baggage to be Pullmaned half across the continent. The argument is frequently heard that the Giants need reinforcements and not reductions of their playing talent, but this is beside the point. None of the men who were divorced | from the Giant squad this year, be- ln Every Branch there are records of . some kind.

They showed a flash of brilliant form at the opening. Since then they have been coasting. But New York fandom is not discouraged. The Giants, after all, are New York's baseball idols and the man in the street never loses faith in the gods.

Through a peri- scope we looked across the deep green grass of No Man’s Land and saw the German trenches, not a block distant. Scattered rifle firing. was incessant. Bullets whistled. over the trench, now and then, but it was a quiet sun- shiny, lazy spring afternoon. . The English soldiers sat about smoking, talking or reading. Suddenly, from behind us came the yell of an English shell. It passed directly over us. “A hit!” was the .word that a peri- scope man sent down the trenches. Like Width of World. Through periscopes we saw black cloud hanging over the Ger- man trenches; there was a gap in their line of sandbags. I was glad that we couldn’t see into the German trenches. What was going on over there at that moment, hidden from our eyes, we could not know. Surely there were dead and.torn men, lying in a bloody musk of shrapnel. The same afternoon sun that was warm- ing us was looking down on that sight which we could see. The three hundred feet between us ‘and them was like the width of the world. And that same English shell would have done the same to our English trenches if some English artillery- man had given a certain screw one tiny turn too much to the left. Speed- ing forty feet, lower, at the end of its journey nf'perlmps four miles, the scene of the bloodshed would have been in the English and not in Ger- man trenches. Unknown :Before. Once more that afternoon the ar- tillerists from England tried to hit the German trench. They succeeded at a point down the line from us. Such shooting was unknown six months ago, but in General. French’s artillery parks it has become a com- mon thing. “I thought I knew war,” said Vil- liers, “but I wouldn’t have known a thing about artillery possibilities if I had not seen that shell fall on the German trench.” Any American boy, with a fielder’s glove, could “pull down” the bombs which are being fired by both sides from. trench mortars, providing its fuse was not lighted. It moves through the air like a batted baseball’ and is only a little larger. The mor- tar has been so long out of use that is also is now. . The British mortar men have learned to put a bomb ex- actly where they want it. “Do you know.where I've seen guns like that before?” asked Villiers pointing to a mortar. “In the your United States on the Fourth of July.” For Men Behind the i’en You signers of checks, writers of letters, keepers of books and makers of records— here is a new ink—in fact, two inks in one, ‘We were one of the first to add to our stock the newest member_of the Carter’s lox family— Carter's Pencraft Combined Office (3 and Fountain Pen§ fi Ink °© We feel sure there’s & call among our friends for one ink usable in either fountain pens or inkwells, A wonderful new flow- controller is part of the equipment of quarts, pints and half-pints of Pencraft, A slight : pressure of the finger controls the flow.
