SUOTT PERRY SLATED TO 1
“STICK” IN BIG LEAGUE '
______ i
-
NEW YORK, June 20.—Pitcher Scotl
“Rope” Perry, recently acquired by
tire Braves, may stick this time. He
probably will be able to prove to
George Stallings that he has the mak
ings of a big league pitcher, and Wil’
at least last it out until the end of
this season.
Perry is pressing Jack Knight pretty
closely for the wandering champion
ship in the big leagues. Jack used to
get caught in the draft every year,
stand being bought at least once every
six months, and take several trips
around the minor leagues each season.
He’s quit it now. Perry evidently is
bidding for the honors.
Perry did his first bit of travelling
when he went from the Wichita West
ern league club to Louisville. Louis
ville was so busy trying to win a
. < nnant that Perry was given very lit- ‘
tie chance to show’ what he could do. t
It wasn’t long under those conditions;
until he was headed for Atlanta, and
there he was planted until last fall.
Tom O’Hara made a trip down Sout! ,
uuring the hottest part of last sum ■
mer. He recommended Perry’s pur- ,
chase for the Cubs, and the deed was
done. Perry reported this spring,
stayed w th the Cubs until they got toj
Chicago, and was then shunted off to (
Cincinnati, where he stayed just long
enough to get acquainted with Mana-,
ger Mathewson. Matty wanted t-i
keep Perry, he said as much, but th?
team limit was on him and he had to
do something. Perry was it. He was
sent back to Atlanta.
Perry stayed in Atlanta just long
enough to get his old apartment
’ straight, and then he was purchased
by the Braves. He’s headed again to
ward a big league fame.
When Perry was in the Western
, league he was with a club that stuck
most of the time in last place, but he
was generally acclaimed the best
pitcher in that circuit. His failure to
F flash in bi: league company probably
i due to the same eccentricity of fate
that made Jack Knight a star of the
fust water in the minors and just a
ball player in the majors.
“The world is watching America and
ycu’ Buy a Liberty Bond."

'MEO FOB PEACE
WASHINGTON. D. C, June 20.
Discussion here concerning the proba
.ble successor to Commissioner Judson
C. Clements of the interstate com-
I merce commission, who died this week,
I led to the belief that among tlie
I names which the president may imme
diately consider in connection with the
matter may be that of Congressman
William C. Adamson, of Georgia.
Georgians in Washington say that
although Judge Adamson is absent
[from the city, and therefore no state
ment could be secured from him con
cerning tlie situation, because of h ! s
prominence in congress, and especially
because of his connection with rail
road legislation as chairman of the
house committee on interstate and for
- commerce, and even more than
this, because he is held in the very
highest esteem at the white house, that
his name would undoubtedly receive
consideration.
AVhether or not Judge Adamsor.
would consent to leave the house after
the brilliant record which he has made
there in his long service is a matter
that only he can answer should the
president inform him that he is want
ed for the interstate commerce com
mission place, but that he has all the
attainments which would in every way
qualify him for the place is not doubt
ed by those who know him.
It was further pointed out that with
the 15 per cent, railroad rate increase
now pending before the commission,
nd other important cases pending, that
ii will be almost necessary to place
on the bench as the successor to Com- [
missioner Clements a man like Judg?
Adamson, who is ready to take up the
wo) k without delay. No other man in
the country, perhaps, is so well posted
on railroad law, and the needs of the
people at the present time as the Geor
gia congressman, and should President
Wilson make him his choice such a
selection would undoubtedly be well
received by Judge Adamson’s friends
and others throughout the country.
REPORT SLACKERS. BUT DON’T
GIVE NECESSARY INFORMATION
ATLANTA, Ga., June 20.—The people
are reporting slackers to Hooper Alex 1
ander, United States district attorney
for the northern district of Georgia,
but they are not giving him the facts
that are absolutely necessary to com
plete a case for presentation to the
grand jury.
Nearly every time Attorney Alexand
er gets a report of a slacker who fail
ed to register on June 5, he has to
vzrite half a dozen or more letters to
obtain the necessary information, and
this not only means a loss of time but !
is a more voluminous correspondence
than his clerical force is capable oU
handling. Hence the district attorney
has decided to enlist the aid and co
operation of the local registration
boards in bringing slackers to justice
Each man of military age who failed
to register will increase the liability
of another man to be drafted who
might be exempted if his city or coun
ty or state had registered its full
quota. Hence the government expects
men who did register, and their rela
tives and friends, to report the slack
ers who didn’t register, for in
cases the slackers are men without aj
valid claim for exemption, and that is
why they didn’t register.

’ GEORGE OUGHT TO MAKE A
RECORD IN “FISH STORIES"
:■ ATLANTA. Ga.. June 20.—George
! Phillips, of Atlanta, had a hen named
I Lucy that was once a good producer.
1 but about two weeks ago she stopped
short off, and George decided he
; would put her to better use.
i "I can’t support you in idleness, old
i lady, and you’ll have o go to the pot
t to make a pie,” remarked George in a
>'casual sort of way while feeding his
■ : chickens.
1 ; The next day when he went out with
) a hatchet to subject Lucy to the
i bloody fate of Marie Antoinette he
'found according to his solemn asset
’ tion to friends, chat Lucy had made up
I for lost time by laying three eggs,
there "y reprieving her life.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 20

ITALIANS RESUME
GENERAL OFFENSIVE
NEW YORK, June 20.—(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day.)—ltalian forces
have resumed their offensive and cap
ti red Austrian positions on Monte Or
iigara and nearly a thousand prison
ers today.
Heavv artillery actions occurred to
day on both the Aisne and Champagne
fronts in France.
On that part of the western line in
France and Belgium held by British

GERMAN SUBMARINE (REWS
( AUGHT WITH IRISH PAPERS
ATLANTA, Ga., June 20.—How coul i (
a member of the crew of a German
submarine get hold of a theater
I gram from Belfast, Ireland, dated only
i a few days before the capture of the.
'submarine? And how could another.
I member of the same crew get hold of .
'a hotel menu from Cowes, Isle of Wight.
datel a week before the capture of the
submersible?
Don't ask R. G. Knowles, an Ameri
can actor who now lives in England,
and who brings the story to the Rotary
[convention in Atlanta, which he is at
tending as the representative of the
l,< tary clubs of London, Glasgow, Bel-,
last and Dublin.
Did those Germans go ashore at
Cowes and Belfast, wearing some kind
of disguise that enabled them to es
cape detection? Did their submarine
put in at some secret base and send ;
members of the crew ashore to knock
around and find out what they could
by mingling with the crowds in thea
ters and hotels?
Knowles doesn’t know, but he ven- ,
tures this assertion, based on his own
knowledge of Great Britain’s experi- [
er.ee in the war: ’’Those Germans are
very clever, believe me.
