Mexico to Make More Explosives.
MXICO CITY, June 22.—Machinery
to equip a complete plant'for the man

projectiles has been purchased from
Japan by the Mexican government. This
machinery will be installed in an addi

ernment powder at Santa Fe, a few’
miles south of the capital.
TRENCH TALES.
A Scot bomber was recovering from
, a “bit ’o shrapnel’’ picked up while
, “taking over a Boche trench.” “We
had to take two lines of trenches,” he
said, “and the second was in the Hin
denburg line. The boche has im
proved in trench making. They mak?
an awful strong trencli now, Cammor.
engineering boards and timber, bu’
thick overhead cover. The machine
gun emplacements are in ferro-con
j crete, and if the artillery hits them
I they just bend. They're made up o”
' hoops of iron woven together and filled'
round with concrete. It would lake a
very direct hit by a big shell to knock
them to bits. The way we take then',
is with rifle grenades. We get ’round
the sides of them and lam them with
rifle grenades; that makes the machine
gunners keep their heads down, and
we get into them then. The German
machine gun teams are pretty good
soldiers, and we most often find them
dead at their posts. The quality of
their infantry is not near so good—in
fact I’m inclined to say they are get
ting lower day by day.”

AROUSES IRE OF
CINCINNATI FAN
NEW YORK, June 22.—Out in Cin
cinnati one of the men who witnessed
• the combat between John McGraw and
Empire Byron has headed a petition
for the removal of “McGrawism” from
t the National league. He plans to send
. his list of signatures to President
, John K. Tener.
Just what this fan means by “Mc
. Grawism” is uncertain, but the fact
■ that he started his petition after the
episode that resulted in Byron’s knock
out is sufficient evidence that he dis
likes the fight part of the Giant
leader makeup.
The truth of "McGrawism” is that it
. is a good thing for baseball. The
■ fight part ot it, of course, isn’t, but
, there are few men, including the Cin
[ cinnati fan, who would have listened
.to Byron calmly if insulted as Me
. Graw declares he was.
John McGraw’ undoubtedly is one of
the finest figures in baseball. Not only
is he a successful leader, a top-notch
general, but his personality and
shrewdness makes him sought out
many, many times for advice on the
big questions of baseball. He is level
headed enough to hold his temper a’
most times. The fact that he did hit I
Byron should be sufficient, to convince I
any one who knows McGraw that Byr
on went a step too far.
McGraw was a fighter when he was
a baseball player. His hot temper
made) him the target for taunts and
rou?h playing. In later years, how
ever, he has been able to hold down
the fire. He was pushed to the limit
at Cincinnati.
A baseball club without a spirit such
as that McGraw throws into his play
ers is lacking in the most essential
part. A man who won't tight for the
best of it in baseball automatically
drops from the public sight. A fisti
exhibition, of course, is a bad thing,
and fighting spirit, as it is meant in a
game, doesn’t consist of right crosses
and left hooks. It consists of a dash
and vigor of play that knows no bar
rier. That’s the way the Giants have
been playing ball.
It appears the Cincinnati fan has
taken advantage of McGraw’s battit
with Byron to charge the entire New
York club with bludgeoning their way
through the league.
