1 CINCY REDS WILL
BE DANGEROUS, IS
DOPE'S WARNING
$ Matty Has Ability to Manage
! Men and Owners and Team
! Plays Ball, Declares
's Fullerton.
jj; By HUGH 8. FULLERTON,
h In Military Service, 1. .
!l! Subject to first call 3.
i' Aeone and aeons ago (an aeon,
children, ' is . two years longer than
I, Dave Altizer has been , playing ball)
the Cincinnati, club, won. a pennant.
That was a short time before any
other clubs were in the league and
some time before the Cincinnati idea
.-' that it took eight directors' to run a
ii team went into effect. Since then no
.V Cincinnati club has ever seriously
threatened to win anything after
;.: April 12.
' This year a new situation arises.
"!' The Cincinnati cub has a chance
has .more than a chance to be in the
.'. National league pennant race all the
way and a fighting chance tq win
i the pennant and get into the world's
ft championship. The team is good.
V It has a real manager who has proved
that he can manage, not only ball
jv players but owners, and it has a
pitching staff, which, under the care-
V1' ful tutelage of this manager, ranks
well tip with the best, and it has,
V consistent, fair hitting, fine fitld'ng
and speedy team, well fortified
. , against accidents and which, last
i season, learned to play together. t
Better Than Giants.
. 'i It is a good team a team .capably
handled by Mathewson, a team thajt
is commencing to play smart base
'I.1 ball, and a team with all the equip
, ment to beat the strong teams, it
i; bas something on the New York
), Giants, it has-the equipment to beat
;; the Chicago clubs and those are the
V teams it must fear most. '. '
j?i But when we dope a Cincinnati
; club there always is a but and usually
jjj; that but makes good and spoils, all
W, the rest. t .. fv:
! But as we remarked there Is
!?j something else again, already (any
III one in Cincinnati . will . understand
that language).. That-something else
i consists of the conscription laws.
.si me Cincinnati ciuo must oase us
l real chance to win a championship
ji ball club and, in fact, -was the best
jj1 team hitting club in the National club
ij; last year. It has punch and power, a
j! trifle broken up it' is true, for .'ton
I; secutive hitting all down the batting
:V. order, but still powerful Even if
v you -admit that some of the batters
! went ahead of their gait last year
l!i you must concede that it is a powerful
t almost as many runs per hit as did the
' champion Giants.- .',
; . Rely on Pitching.
Even so, the team, to be a serious
contestant for championship honors,
must rely upon its pitching. Mit-
t: thewson showed last season that he
: is a masier not only of the art of
! pitching but of teaching pitchers. He
i developed a oitchin? staff which 'at
i! the finish was one of the most con
i. !ct'nt find trmiKlanm in tm imnertt I
!J and one which was pointed especially
Ig, to beat the Giants.
!; The basis of his staff was Fred
;j Toney, one of the really great
jj pitchers qf the country; Hod.Eller, a
youngster who under Matty's tuition
developed into one of the most ef-
lective pitchers in the league and a
...1 : l . -
t iiiu wuu piuuuscu mis season 10
1, rank among the first. There was
t Pete Schneider who, directed and en
j couraged by Matty, became what he
'i should have been years ago a cork'
ij- ing pitching machine. , Schneider's
V one big fault has been lack of confi
' dence in himself. , Mike Regan and
Dukh Reuther are. the other sur
vivors of last year, and . Ed Gerner
was recalled for another trial. Be
sides these Matty has Bressler, Con
ley and Jacobus, all drafted men,
Jacobus being well touted.
But the backbone of the staff is
Toney and Eller.
And Toney and Eller are in Class
1 A of the conscription and the
chances are that both will be taken
n the army. It they ,are taken dur
ing the season, bang, bo Cincinnati's
chances until another staff can be
built up. Toney is in bad with the
'ederal authorities and his local draft
.ng board because, it is charged, he
tried to dodge the draft and was
caught and placed among the first.
If Big Fred goes into the army, it
probably will ruin the Cincinnati
j. base ball club but my, oh my, if he
k. mans win oe up against it. tor iney
y never saw s river he couldn't thrfttv

t a sione across, ana ne couia ncave
, bombs clear across No Man's Land
: at its widest point Eller has a little
better chan-e to escape being taken
: into the army, but he is rather eager
' 'o go.
Lose Valuable Mas.
The team lost only v one man to
I the army, but that loss was a heavy
i one. The man is Morris Rath, now
in the naval reserve, who, after fail

FULTON KNOCKS OUT
COWLER IN FIFTH
t
Defeated Gladiator Leads Up
to Fatal Blow; Is Second
Win Over New
'York Man.
St. Louis, March 12. Fred Fulton
or Rochester, Minn., knocked out
Tom Cowler of New York in the fifth
round of a' scheduled eight-round
bout here last night.
Cowler, up to the moment in the
fifth round, when Fulton landed
squarely on his jaw, with a left hook
had pushed the -fight, and in at least
three of the rounds had the advan
tage of his 5pponent.
In the first round Cowler caught
Fulton squarely on the chin and the
Minnesota challenger was groggy.
Cowler. followed with a blow which
closed Fulton's right eye and the
round ended with all the honors for
the New Yorker. Fulton was still suf
fering from his : punishment . in . the
second round, but rallied and sent
Cowler to the mat for the count of
eight.. The third and fourth rouifcft
were almost even with Cowler fav
orrd, because of.his aggresiveness.
Fulton throughout the fight had
played for Cowler's jaw antf early in
the fifth round he swung a left hook
that sent Cowler down. The latter
wits up at the count of eight, but was
sent down again and was counted out.
Fulton and Cowler met on January
9, 1917, in New York, the latter be
ing knocked out in the first round.
Boston Americans Begin -
Spring Training Work
Hot Springs, Ark., March 11.
Twenty-four members of the Boston
American league club arrived here to
day and started' spring training. An
advance guard of thBrooklyn Na
tionals also " arrived during the day
and began practice. .
- Manager McGraw of the New York
Nationals looked over the progress
made by the advance squad hcsent 10
days ago. He was pleased with the
condition of the men.
Johnny Kilbane Loses
Motor Car in Cleveland
' Cleveland Police are searching, in
Cleveland for a seven-passenger auto
mobile, belonging to Johnny Kilbane,
ha fathrwirht rhamnion. which
was .stolen while the boxer, with his
wife and some friends was dining at a
Cleveland hotel. Kilbane, boxing in
otnWnr af famn Sherman, was as
sisting in the presentation of a mo
tion picture tor tne Dcneni ox me
camp mesS fund, ,
one of the most promising recruits.
He-was a much improved ball player
and would have helped the infield.
However, the infield needs little
help. 'Chase seems to have settled
and gained ambition to play as he
ought to have played years ago. He
is a great player and is working well
under Matty, even helping with the
affairs of the team and working for
the team itself. Groh is one of the
greatest players of the league. Kopf
is just satisfactory, and Shean is a
good man, although he is a weak
hitter. Still McKechnie isvnot up to
his Fed league standard. ; .
But Matty has made another wise
move. He has brought back Russ
Blackburne, who failed so often that
the majority of experts think' that he
always a false alarm. Listen to- this:
Even if Blackburne fails again, I al
ways will contend that he is a cork
ing ball player. He has had a run of
bad luck that has pursued him every
time he has essayed to be a major
leaguer. Blackburne has everything
that a finished major league infielder
needs. He i not a great hitter, but
a better one than he ever has shown
in' the American league. His bad
leg, it is . reported, has ceased to
bother him and, a better sign, is
that he has ceased to worry and tret
It was worrying and fretting that in
jured his work every time he tried
with the Chicago White Sox. He
may take Shean's regular job if he
escapes another attack of hard luck,
and the chances are that he will hit
the National league pitchers much
harder than he did the American
leaguers. No man can be as greats
player in the minor league as Black
burne has been and fail entirely in
the majors and besides that, the Na
tional isn't so .much faster than either
the Association or the International
was for years. The Red outfield is a
corker, and one of the best hitting in
the country. .
, Sherry Sfagee, Griffith, Ed Roush
and Earl Nsale make a corking quar
tet. Magee -ought to start hitting
again where Stallings stopped him by
making him' bat to orders. Besides
these four, Matty has Anderson, who
was recalled, and McHenry, - pur
chased. .
The catching staff ranks well with
any in the league. Winero is the
heavy burden bearer and the ace of
the squad. , Tom Clarke is not as
good as he was, and probably would
do better with some other club where
he would have a chance to do more
work. Nid: : Allen, , who, promised
fairly well, has been recalled, and a
fellow nameJ Smith, drafted. .
There isn't a flaw in the team; it
is strong everywhere, consistent, has
the punch, has speed, and everything
but if Toney and Eller go to war
that is something else, already yet
again. :

CENTRAL QUINTET
t
Last Basket Ball Game of Sea
son to Be 'Staged at Young
Men's Christian Association
, Saturday, Night. v
St. Joseph and Omaha Central High
floor quintets , will meet Saturday
night at the Young Men's Christian
association in-the last basket ball
game of the season.
M. Joseph defeated Umaha in a
game played at St. Joseph and the
Omaha five is determined to even the
score by trouncimr the Toetown lads
up here and making a happy eliding
to their somewhat disappointing sea
son.
Pespite previous defeats Central is
reRartfed as the likely winner; The
Omaha five, outplayed the Missouri
lads in every respect save in making
the free tosses which wer- unusually
numerous. Nearly all of Central's de
feats have been due to the inability ot
the forwards to put the ball in the
basket after it had been worked up
the field. St. Josepli, however, has a
first class team, which is only too
likely to nab the honors if Central's
scoring machine weakens in the' least.
Speed is the chief asset of the boys
from down the river.
St. Joseph entered the Missouri
state tourney held last week, but was
unable to get into the finals. The Kan
sas City team carried off. the honors.

LUXBURG FLEES
FROM ARGENTINA;
IS NOW IN CHILE
Unwelcome German Envoy Re
ported to Have Escaped
j From Country After Long
Treatment for Nerves.
Buenos Aires, March 12. It is re
ported, here today that Count von
Luxburg, the former German minister,"
has fled Argentine territory, escaping
to Chile. , . ,
On September 2 Count Karl von
Luxburg, imperial German minister to
the Argentine republic, received his
passports from the Argentine govern
ment, accompanied by a note stating
that theintroducer of ambassadors
had orders to assist him in his imme
diate departure from the country. On
October 12 he was placed in a Ger
man detention camp on the island ot
Martin Garcia because he had left the
capital without permission, apparent
ly ignoring the government's orders
that he leave the country.
TJreated For "Nervousness."
Recently he has been comfortably
resting in the German hospital under
treatment for "nervousness" and ap
parently has made up his mind to re
main in the country. Argentine news
papers have been insistently asking
how much longer the government in
tends to put up with his presence. .
The patience of the public was tried
again a few days ago by the granting
of permission to Von Luxburg o set
tle himself in a quiet little cottage in
one of the suburbs of Buenos Aires.
Since obtaining this permission, how
ever, a -Von ,, -Xnxburg apparently
changed his mind and decided to re
main in the hospital. '
During the four months that have
passed since the Argentine govern
ment ordered Von Luxburg out of the
county because of his plotting, as
shown bv the telegrams nublished in
Washington, the former German min
ister has been continually m The pub
lic prints because of his determina
tion not to leave the country, v
Violent at Times.
In the last week the government
and the public became impatient and
asked how much longer Von Luxburg
was going to remain here and the di
rector of the hospital appeared at the
foreign office to answer the query,
saying that Von Luxburg's mental and
nervous condition had become such
that he was violent 'at times and thajt
it was necessary to place him in an
asylum where he would be more
closely watched.
"A dav or two later he askej per
mission to take Von -Luxburg to a
quiet little home in the suburbs, where
he said he thought he could be cured.
The permission was given and prepa
rations were being made to move
Luxburg when he again changea his
mind and notified the foreign office
that he would remain in the hosaital.
All durinsr his stay in the hospital
there have been newspapers and pub
lic men in Buenos Aires who nave
open stated that Von Luxburg's
condition was not as serious aj rep
resented and that he merely was try
ing to avoid returning to Berlin. The
press has demanded that the govern
ment make a statement regarding its
policy toward Von Luxburg of
whom the Argentine people wish to
rid themselves, but the statement ras
not been . forthcoming, u.

U. S. WAR PLANS
HINGE ON BAKER,
WAR SECRETARY
Washington, March 12. Safe ar
rival in France of Secretary Baker and
his party having been formally an
nounced today by the Navy depart
ment, press reports about his move
ments on the other side are being
watched closely here. Matty officials
think it possible that the story of his
activities, if permitted, to pass the
censor, will throwt interesting light
upon the object of his mission to the
theater of war. ,
Emphasis laid by the War depart
ment upon the fact that Mr. Baker's
trip was purely a military pilgrimage,
without diplomatKsignifiance has di
rected attention to the known- desire
of President Wilson to see an ener
getic campaign waged by the allies.
With American troops holding a con
stantly increasing sector of the battle
lines, the wishes of the Washineton
government undoubtedly will have
greater weight than heretofore with
the allied chjeftains. Secretary Baker
will be able To learn first hand from
General Pershing the judgment of
that officer on all that is going on in
France. He will also get views.
founded on long-continued observa
tion, as to the French and British war
machines. .
Decides War Tactics.
It is assumed here ihat the secretary
is gathering just such information for
the president and he will be able to
give as well as receive important in
formation. The great question of the direction
in which the United States is to ex
ert its greatest effort in the war may
be decided on the tfesult of these con
ferences abroad. There has been a
constant conflict, not only as to the
use of ship tonnage as between the
shipment of troops and the shipment
of supplies for the allies, but also as
to the priority rishts of various army
supplies and equipment.

PLACE EMBARGO
ON SHIPMENTS
EAST OF INDIANA
Omaha Railroads Receive Or
' ders to Accept Nr Freight
for Delivery" East of
of Hoosier State.
Official confirmation ofthe em
bargo placed by Regional Director
Aishton on all shipments excepjV mu
tions, fuel and foodstuffs to points
beyond the west line of Indiana, has
been received at Omaha headquarters
of the railroads.
The Aishton embargo is taken to
meanv that a movement' has been
started to clear the freight congestion
that exists at all points east of Chi
cago and particularly along the At
lantic coast.
While Omaha railroad officials have
no correct data, they are of the opin
ion that in the territory against which
the embargo is laid nearly 100,000
loaded freight ears lay idle on sidings
and at terminals. While the greater
portion' of this freight is said to be
consigned to domestic destinations,
an enormous quantity is for export.
By a strict enforcement of the em
bargo Omaha freight officials assert
the congestion can be relieved in two
weeks or so, and that after that
freight traffic will return to normal.
Without the application of the em
bargo they say that it would be im
possible to relieve the existing condi
tions, as carload shipments would pile
up at terminals as rapidly as they
could be cleared away.
Relief in West.
It is said that between the Indiana
west line and Chicago the freight con
gestion is about the same as farther
east, although west of Chicago condi
tions are nowhere as bad.
" From Omaha west the freight ac
cumulation Jhas been relieved to some
extent during the last two weeks.
