Association Takes Meas- ures to Recruit Against Draft. Chicago, July 31.--Because of the danger of losing star plavers drafted | for military service President Hickey of the American Association announc- ed yesterday that the player limit had been abolished. The clubs will be permitted to carry as many plavers as they desire. Heretofore they were restricted to fifteen. Hicky explained that several play- ers are certain to be lost in the draft, and to prevent the clubs from being seriously weakened new players will be signed at once 8o as to give the managers an opportunity to try them out. There is plenty of material avail- able, Hickey said, from the smaller leagues that have disbanded ‘SAMMIES” GOING T0 FRONT LINE SOON Will See Actual War Conditions in Four Weeks ‘Washington, July 3l.—American troops of the Pershing expeditionary force will be in direct contact with the Germans within the next three or four weeks, if present plans for mo- bilization and intensive training of American units are followed out. This plan is for the Sammies to take over a limited portion of first line trenches, to accomplish the double purpose of breaking the ice for America’s participation in the ac- tual fighting and giving the most sea- soned men a chance at modern trench warfare in order that they may get accustomed to it themselves and be in a position to help in the training of other units. Unless some emergency arises it is not proposed to send American troops in large numbers into the trenches in the immediate future. The idea is to have these troops take charge of a ltmited line, primar- ily for training purposes. But the American troops will be in shape to take care of themselves in case the Germans opposite them show a desire to precipitate matters. Unusual ac- tivity, however, is not expected on the sector where the Americans will be placed until they have had an op- portunity to get acclimated, so to speak. Army officers here say the most important result perhaps will be achieved by getting American offi- cers, especially the younger ones, ac- customed to the deafening blasts of heavy gun fire. There is no way for this and other incidental lessons to N‘ew York, July 31.—Slim Sallee is a big factor in the Giants’ fight for the pennant. With Schupp, Benton and Sallee, McGraw has three of the best southpaws in the National league. Sallee recently pitched a corking good game against the Chi- cago Cubs. ) be learned except by being in the trenches under fire from enemy guns. All the theoretical experience in the world, it is said, will not equal an hour’s practical experience in this re- spect. By way of example it is pointed out that the first British volunteer forces, Kitchener's army, were absolutely at sea when they first undertook to man first line trenches, although they had months of training These troops were ordered to take over a certain line of trenches, and while doing so the German guns broke loose with a tarrific bombardment British Withdrew Tarly. The men underground thought the ground about them was being torn to pleces by the volcanic eruptions caused the explosive shells. The young officers, rightfully solicitous about exposing their men to needless sacrifices. ordered them to the rear. The Britishers, calmly and with no sign of panic, simply left their trenches on the principle that com- mitting suicide was not part of their duties. Several British cavalrymen were not far distant, and their officers at once perceived what was going on. They ordered the men to tie their horses and go into the trenches being evac- uated. When the infantrymen saw this they too returned. They took up their positions and remained there practicaliy unmolested for months. They are, in reality, in little danger, although even the officers thought otherwise. Sound judgment as to when danger does or does not exist can only be given by officers who have had actual experience it Is pointed out. In cases where a position is really untenable they may think it safe, and con- versely when there {s only the cus- tomary artillery bombardment going on the positions may seem untenable. It is probable that American offi- cers and troops, after getting their first tuste of actual warfare with the Germans, will be relieved by others while they capitalize their experience with men behind the lines. tensive training of the men behind the lines js &n all important feature for the American forces. At present French officers are imparting this training to their American allies. There are American troops now not far from the front. They are close enough to hear the sound of the heavy | guns when the wind is right and twice they have seen the German aircraft driven off by Entente aviators. They have also seen how the anti-aircraft guns work in preventing German ma- chines from getting close enough to make valuable observations. With every American battalion now there is a French battalion and the French are diligently teaching the Americans the best ways of digging trenches and using hand grenades and gas masks.

Armando Marsans, the Cuban &tad | who was a favorite with fans when hé played with New Britain on the samé club with another Cuban, Almejda, has already established himself as a hero to New York fans. Marsans and Almeida played in the Eastern leaguq when Billy Hanna managed New Bri- tain. They did so well in this circuit that both were taken by Cincinnati. After enjoying a fine career in Cin- cinnati Marsans jumped to the Fed- erals. When the war ended hé went to the St. Louis Browns but neyer could de himself justice there. . Cuban is a temperamental cuss. He likes to have the fans cheer him for with the old applause ringing in his ears he will play like a whirlwind. The St. Louis fans roasted Marsans and he became a failure under such conditions.
