In the handling of delivery signals, close plays at the plate, throws to cut down base stealers and in backing up first and third in throws from the outfield the catcher is both busy and important factor in the con- test. A sharp eye, steady judgment, a powerful throwing arm and cool courage are necessary requis- ites for the player who dons the mask and wind pad in the most important of all baseball games. It is fortunate that both the Chi- eago Americans and the New York Nationals are equipped with hers of this calibre for the series of 1917 which begins in Chicago next Saturday.

Suscess in Work. —_— Great Progress Made in Recent Years In Connection With Efforts of Bureau of Commerce, Great progress has been made dur- Ing the past two or three years in con- nection with the special investigations that ‘are carried on by agents of the bureau of foreign and domestic com- merce in foreign countries, A special investigation now involves a program of action of which the agent’s report is merely the most. important feature in- stead of being, as often heretofore, the sole object to be achieved. This pro- gram covers, first, the widest publicity possible for the proposed work among the interests for whose benefit it is be- ing done. Officials of the bureau have found it to be almost as important to prepare the ground for the reception of the in- formation as it is to obtain the infor- mation itself, and to do this it is neces- dustry: affected both in the subject of | foreign trade and in the special work ! of the bureau.

SWALLER | Machine Gun Arm fs Also Enlarged and Provision Is Made for For- mation of Army Corps and Arinies, A general order made public by the jadjutant general’s office provides for important changes in the organization of Uncle Sam’s fighting forces, The ratio of artillery strength to infantry is greatly increased. A di- vision will fter include on h des in | Place of the old di on of three bri- gades, each comprising three regiments lof infantry. There will still be three lregiments of ficld artillery in each di- vision. Thus, in the new organization there ‘will be three regiments of field artillery to every four regiments of in- fantry, instead of the ratio of three to nine, In addition, a trench mortar battery is attached to each division. The machine gun arm is also mate- tially enlarged. A machine gun bat- talion of four companies has been made a unit of each division, in addi- tion to the three machine gun com- panies included in each regiment. The American division will be made oy this.erder to conform practically to the units utilized by the entente allies, among whom a division numbers ap- proximately 19,000 men. The reason r the change is that the division as retofore made up of about 28,000 en is too unwieldy for the demands of trench warfare.

Quite the contrary, Atex the Great deduces triumph ad for New York because bats wieided by the Giants will be far more productive in the art of run- getting, What! Eddie Cicotte, Reb Russell, Williams, Faber and Dan- “forth will make the Giants think they are swinging toothpicks when they go up there to take a crack at the ball? Where do you get that stuff? Now, it may be \so that the Chicago pitching will throw a monkeywrench into the the New York artillery, but I have reasons to think otherwise. “Do I think the Giants are a great scoring machine? Look at my record against them! 1 won a game from them in our last ser- ; that’s all this year. It’s be- yond me to explain why they’ve bumped me so hard. “When McCarty is catching and Sallee pitching, you have to face nine men, anyone of whom ‘might break up the old ball game with a long drive. “T’ve heard it said that the Giants throw away chanees_ to score by playing the hit-and-run for a flock of runs, That’s not so. The Giants can rifice as well as hit-and-run and I look for them to continually mix ’em up against the White Sox. NEW YORK IS THE GREATEST ONE-INNING SCORING TEAM I EVER FAC- ED. “So mueh for the offensive of the Giants. Now the pitching.

Either could eome back after a short rest, but it wouldn't be absolutely neees- sary for there is Perritt, a right: hander, who will give-the Sox a lot of trouble. “T have keen hearing a lot about Cicotte’s shine ball.
