Hurd on the Over Project of Forming New Cir- cuit—Outlook is Very Bright. Talk of the formation of a fast semi-professional baseball league in several cities of the state, is traveling | the rounds, and each day the hop: | of the promoters grow brighter. In cities like Meriden, New Haven and New Britain and Hartford, there are a number of teams which furnish stellar baseball to their followers cvery season. It is the claims of the promoters of the proposed league with these teams joining in league ball, there is no doubt of the suc- cess of the venture. Meriden has the M. B. Schenck team, New Haven the Marlin Arms, Winchester Arms and other clever teams, Bridgeport the Singers and the Newficlds, and Hart- ford the Poli nine. Here in New Britain there is the nucleus for a crack-a-jack team in the All-Stars and Pioneer clubs. The war draft has thinned out semi-professional teams in every city, and New Britain has lost several orking good players like Blin, Fitz brothe and many other: 1 Clinton and chroeder as for catcher, Kiniry, Lynch Clancey, Kilduff, “Nom' infield positions and Steve Ray Begley, Paulson and numevous others who would comprise a clever outfield. Ffforts are being made to have James J. Naughton and James Lynch, the men who moulded to- gether the fast All-Stars last season, to become interested in the project. New Haven may vet see some good baseball next summer. here rem howex candidates Johnson, Campbell, Begley for Dudack, CUBS OFF FOR PASADENA. Alexander and Kilduff to Join Squad in Kansas City Today.

Chicago. March 13.—Military train- ing for baseball players in the Amer- ican League will be dropped this sea- son, President Johnson said yester- day. One of the reasons for discon- tinuing the drilling is because the clubs will be unable to get drill ser- geants. “I was told by army authorities that the daily drills last season stimu- lated recruiting to a marked degree,” President Johnson said. ‘“There is no need of that now because of the draft. We also believe the clubs will be changed abiut a good deal this season as the players are called into the army, and we would not care to stage a poor exhibition.” COACH FAUVER ISSUES CALL Wesleyan's Baseball Situation Unique, With No Members of 1917 "Varsity Team Left in College.

Navy Washington, March 13—Predicting that by the close of 1918 the United States will have the greatest destrov- er fleet in the world to combat the submarine menace, Chairman Wil- liam B. Oliver of the House ub- committee appointed to investigate the navy filed his report on the naval situation yesterday. The entire report highly praises the work of the navy, stating that it “has been put to the acid test and in no way found wanting.” The greatest need of the navy now is more scout and battle cruisers, the report says, a temporary slowing up of this program being necessary be- cause of the urgent demand for =a great number of merchant ships and destroyers. Striking features of the report were: The total navy expenditures are now $30,000,000 a day, as compared with $9,000,000 a year “‘in the com- paratively recent past.” Since last March the number of men in the navy has been multiplied nearly six times. Then there were about 55,000 enrolled; now about 00,000 Destroyers are being built in the time needed before the war. More than 1,100 vessels have furnished and equipped with guns and ammunition. The navy is furnishing “appreci- able quantities of guns from the larg- to the smallest calibre in England, ince and Ital Comparatively small numbers of submarine attacks have been success- ful. The Navy Medical Service will transport and care for the army wounded in bringing them back from France. Three hospitals for navy men in Furopean waters have been opened in France and England. Mr. Oliver in submitting the port said that witnesses before the committee included Secretary Daniels, Admiral W. S. Benson, chief of naval operations; commandant of the marine naval aviation, the practice and other half been crews, corps, of target minor officials. The were following conclusions reached and concurred in by the full | committee: “First—All appropriations been expended or obligated with jud ment, caution and economy, consider- ing that haste was necessary to bring results and abnormal conditions pre- vailed, “Second—The navy. with limited personnel and material, was suddenly 4 to face many difficult and un- problems and has met the situ- with ingenuity and and degree of suc- tried ion despatch ‘Third—The efficiency of the navy's pre-war organization, the readiness and fitness of its men and ships, were put to the acid test and thus no way have they been found We feel that the last twelve montl presents for the navy a re- markable record of achievement, of steadily increasing power in both per- material, of rapid oX- resources and of weil plans for the future. be long or short. mistak have been made, vet navy has shown mannc of its cor- re skill, high far in wantir sonnel and matured the war “Some the the of course, its strength by | 1ection regret that the the ship con- the countr; demand for matter of upon of TR st oy great demand siruction capacity coupled with the a T increase force, has made nec v rary abandonment in part Davy shiphuilding program reatly hoth ut whie Ia in tempo- of the The navy and attle our dread- part of its We cannot too the importance of and battle cruis- needs thout loses a ality ize scout cruisers nough fleet ting poter strongly emph: Froviding both iers. of the rather than due to This navy los th we At the expansion resulted in gain c1 cfficiency is primarily one factor—preparcdness. re- | chiefs of the bureaus, the | director | have | whethet | destroyer | think very fully appeafs from report on the bureaus.” | The report then takes up in detail Ithe work of the various bureaus of | 1he navy department and praises the | rarticular work of each. The first battle of the war, that against disease, was fought and won by the medical department of the navy under Rear Admiral William Braisted, the report said. our those diseases which commonly oc- cur among recruits the health of the navy has been quite as good as the force afloat has been even bet- ter than in peacc times in spite of 1 the difficulties in the way of rapid expansion.” Commending the cfficiency of the bureau of construction and repair and steam engineering the report said that the skill and inventive genius of these men had added largely to the fighting strength of the allied navies. The report emphasized that during 1918 “destrovers will be built in from a third to a half the time taken under pre-war conditions, This makes pos- sible “the greatest destroyer flest in the world befare 1919,” Chairman Oliver said in explaining the report. “The destroyers now being built at such a high rate of speed will be equal in every respect and superior in some to our latest vessels of that tvpe,” he added. “Our destroyer in the war zane has been maintained in a high state of efliciency. Navy vards were fully equipped with materi- als for converting merchant ships The Burcau of Ordnance, it said, has fully fied the demand made upon it by the vessels operatinz |in Buropean waters. The bureau h developed much material, in- cluding “depth charges, submarine bombs, nonricochet shells, bomb-drop- ping devices, howitzers guns throwing depth charges, smoke screen | 2pparatus, heavier ordnance on all jcraft and many other important designs that it is unwise to discuss.” “Over 1,100 vessels have been fur- nished and equipped with guns,” the | report states, “with ammunition, spare parts and all their auxiliaries since tt fitting out of the Campagna in Marsh, 1914. Reserves of ammunition have been acquired. “The bureau has furnished in ap- ciable quantities the governments France and Ttaly with suns from the largest to the smallest uibre, together with praper supplies, nd is continuing the supply of such ne navy The report states that complete in- formation was given to the commit- tee as to the encounters of all Amer- ican vessels with submarines. “The record of attacks,” it “shows a comparatively small centage of successful attacks and that the chances of escape when a submarine is ted before she has { time to fire a torpedo are very high, due to the efliciency of the navy per- sonnel. The unsecn torpedo is re- | sponsible for $0 per cent. of the sinkings.” Referring to mittee said: “There are today on the firing lines France no better trained, no brav- ler, no more effective fighting foree | than our own Marines, and we hope their number may creased.
