Base Ball on Ice Skates
Latest Sport on Lake Erie
Base ball on ice is claiming the at
tention of fans in the Lake Erie island
region. Teams have been organized
on Put-In-Bay, North and Middle
Bass and Kelleys islands. A league
race for a pennant will be run if
weather conditions permit ,
Base ball is played on ice as it fs
on land, except that the players wear
skates and the ball is of solid rubber.
The ball fairly sails thrrJugh the air
when the batsmen connect and the
folder is compelled to skate a long
distance before' he recovers it.
As the runner is forced to halt until
he touches each base, the handicap
that otherwise would be against, the
fielder is overcome. Five innings con.
stttute a game and the scores usually
run into the thirties.

LONGER LOAFERS
Winter Ceases to Be Period of
Inactivity for Diamond Pas
timers, Who Lean to
v Other Lines.
It has been. a matter of a good deal
of interest to some of us to speculate
on what the large number of base ball
players do during the winter season.
Of .course it has been accepted more
or less as a matter of fact that they
take up the casual occupations that
they can take up without very much
trouble, and some of us have had vis
ions of these players braking freight
trains, tending bar, clerking in stores,
loaf in a1 and doins all maner of con
ceivable things. -,
I he fact of the matter is that most
of the young fellows do something
worth while and so far as observa
tion goes they are raising the stand
ard each winter o,f what they do lay
their hands to, ; "
It was interesting to read, for in
stance, that Fred Luderus had turned
to the law for his attention during
the off-season. It is rathet gratify
ing to note that men of his profession
turn to other professions when they
might be taking it easy.
All this leads to the suggestion that
the caliber of base ball players has
been getting better year after year,
and that the men who now make the
national game their principal means
of support are of a higher type than
men engaged in it 20 years ago, for
example, and are men who uses it as
the foundation for perhaps a broader
living and profession when their play
ing days are over.
At any rate the wise base ball
player is the fellow who spends his
winter time in something worth
while.

CADDOCK-ZBYSZKO
GO DECLARED OFF
Jack Curley, Manager of Tour,
ney Winner, Says He Will Not
Bring His Charge West
This Winter.
The Earl Caddock-WIadek Zbyszko
match isff at least it is off as far as
Omaha is concerned. . '
Ruddie Warner, Omaha lightweight
wrestler, has received a letter from
Jack Curley, manager of Zbyszko, in
which Curley declares he will not
bring Zbyszko west thisi winter.. L ,,
The letter is taken to mean that
Carl Marfisi, who has been negotiat
ing for the bout for several weeks,
will be unable to bring the two men
together.
Zbyszko last fall agreed to wrestle
Caddock. Then Earl became ill and
the match postponed. Now Zbyszko
will not come west so Omaha won't
get to see the event
The match may be made for an
eastern city, but Omaha fans believe
not. ' There is a suspicion Zbyszko,
having won the New, York tourna
ment and therefore a claim, as he
dopes it, to the wrestling crown , is
not so eager to lock horns with Earl
as he was last fall, This, they be
lieve, is the reason Curley will not
bring Zbyszko west, he big Pole
might injure himself. ' . '
There is still a chance, however,
that Omaha fans will get an oppor
tunity to see Caddock in action this
winter, as Jack Lewis is angling for
a bout between the champ and Charles
Peters and if Caddock can get a fur
lough from his military duties, it is
believed the bout will be made.
Lewis on New Year's day sent a
challenge to the winner for the
Zbyszko-Demetral match at Colum
bus, O., in behalf of Charley Peters,
but there is little liklihood the chal
lenge will be answered, as Peters once
ruined iXmetral and Zbyszko knows
how "good Charley is.

Inquiry Into Army Contracts
Reveals Shortage in Horse
Equipment and Shoes Is
sued Regardless of Size.
. , 1 1 "
Washington, Jan. 3. Inquiry into
army contracts involving the work of
the supplies committee of the Nation
al Council of Defense, was continued
today by the senate war investiga
tion with Michael E. Driscoll, woolen
mill superintendent of the Raritan, N,
J., jnills, ready to tell of cloth con
tract negotiations he had with the
supplies committee. ,
Turning; to what he termed a "ter
rific shortage" in horse equipment,
Senator Wadsworth developed from
Mr. Driscoll that it was not until last
July that the ordnance bureau ordered
any considerable number of saddle
blankets.
Shoe supplies and difficulty in fitting
soldiers were next taken up. Elmer
Bliss, a shoe manufacturer and presi
dent of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce, said his company, offered a
shoe contract, was disinclined to Xake
up the work because of difficult speci
fications, but agreed to make the shoes
as a patriotic duty. No contract was
made.
Bliss said he was especially in
terested in the question of fitting and
by investigation discovered that the
troons really were not beinir fitted.
"Shoes were issued regardless of
regulation," he said, citing that at a
Massachusetts camp. 81.7 per cent
of the men were improperly fitted
with shoes up to 3 sizes too short
and went to Europe with them. Bliss
said he developed a tool proot de
vice to insure proper fitting. But
he ran up against "red tape." He
cited investigations on the Mexican
border, where 22,000 of 31,000 men
were found improperly fitted. Feet
of the national army men, he said,
were larger than those of former
forces. Five . times in writing and
three times verbally, Blis said, he
called the attention of department
heads. to shoe misfitting before ex
perimental sets of his device were or
dered. . .
Within 10 days after he submitted
his fitting device to the navy, Bliss
saiu . it was auopieu ior marines
shoes, although the War department
has not adapted it vet About 21.-
000,000 pairs of shoes, he estimated
have, been bought by the War de
partment without material change in
specitications since 1 investigations
showed that an average of i 80 ner
cent of the soldiers are given shoes
too short.
Eighteen Ships Sunk by
Subs; Destroyers Deadly
London, . Jan. ' 2. Eighteen British
merchantmen of 1,600 tons or over
have been sunk by mine or submarine
during the last week,' according to the
admiralty statement tonight. , " -
Three merchantmen under 1,600
tons were also sunk. This is a ma
terial increase over the previous week,
when the sinkings numbered 12, of
which 11 were more than 1,600 tons.
Naval men declare that more sub
marines were sunk in December than
the German yards were able to
launch; so the ' German submarine
navy may now be said to have begun
actually to shrink a process which
the allies hope to accelerate rapidly
with the increasing effectiveness of
naval methods.
The iotal entrances and clearances,
while low for the past week owing
to weather conditions, were larger
in December than in November.
Reports of encounters with subma
rines in the last three months indicate
that whatever improvements have
been made in the U-boats, they are
not nearly so efficient or deadly as
they were earlier in the year. This is
due partly to the lower standard of
their torpedoes and also to deteriora
tion in the quality of their crews. In
"U-boating, ,.as ' in aviation, experi
enced men are irreplacable, and
novices stand a poor chance.

NEW MEN AND NEW
METHODS FOR WAR
It
Plan Worked Out Similar to the
British to Speed Up Con
struction for the
Sammies.
(By Associated Preii.) .
, Washington, Jan 3. General re
organization of the ordnance bureau,
with experienced business men at the
head of important divisions' under the
chief-of-ordnance, was announced last
night by the War department.
The new plan under which is is pro
posed to make , the bureau a great
working unit was modeled somewhat
after the British ministry of muni
tions. t
It was putlined to the senate mili
tary committee recently by Major
General Crozier, chief of ordnance,
while he was being sharply ques
tioned concerning . delays and defi
ciencies in supplying rifles and can
non. It now lus.been approved by
Secretary Baker and put Into effect.
General Crozier, whose renomina
tion is pending in the senate, contin
ues as chief and no change is made
in the assignment of Brigadier Gen
eral Wheeler as acting chief while
General Crozier serves on the war
council.
Colonel Samuel McRoberts, for
merly executive manager of the Na
tional City bank of New York, is
named chief of the procurement di
vision, one of the branches into which
the business functions of the bureau
are divided, and the name of a civilian
to head the production division will
be announced in a few days.
Samuel McRoberts is well known
to Omaha business men. He was for
merly attorney for Armour & Co. and
later in charge of that firm s in
vestment department. He was a di
rector of the South Omaha stock
yards and president of the Sioux City
otreer railway company ana a di
rector of the Milwaukee railroad. He
was a roommate of Frank Crawford
the Omaha attorney, at the University

departure from school, the little wan
derers were dauntlessly preparing for
their journey and were looking for a
comfortable place to lay their "weary

MRS. ANNIE HAWKS
DEAD ATAGE OF 83
Was Author of Many Famous
Hymns, Among Them, "I
Need Thee Every
Hour."
.Bennington, Vt, Jan. 3. Mrs.
Annie Sherwood Hawks, author of
many famous gospel hymns, including
"I Need Thee Every Hour," died at
her home here today, aged 83. ,
With the death of the celebrated
Fanny Crosby some time ago, Mrs.
Annie Sherwood Hawks was left as
perhaps the last of the noted writers
of the gospel hymns of the past half
century.
From her fourteenth year, when her
first bit of verse was published in a
newspaper in Troy, N. Y., she devoted
a large part of her long life to the
production of poems and hymns. Of
her hymns which came into common
use the best known is "I Need Thee
Every Hour," which is said to have
been translated into more foreign lan
guages than any other modern hymn.
Mrs. Hawks, who was born in
Hoosick, N. Y,; in 1835, was educated
in the public schools and in the Troy
seminary. After her marriage to
Charles Hial Hawks, member of a
New York banking firm, she lived
in Brooklyn until the death of her Ms
band in 1888. Since then she. had
made her home with her daughter in
Bennington, Vt.
Among other hymns of which she
was the author are "The Cross for
Jesus," "Good Night," "Why Weepest
Thou?" "Who'll Be the Next to Fol-1
low Jesus" and "In the Valley."
