The lawyers had rendered an opinion that the lea que directors had gone outside their rights. and that their action in throw ing out five games. and awarding them to the Yost opponents was illeg- al. Under the circumstances. the com murlication concluded. MT. Veness felt obliged to, withhold the cup.

ENGLISH CAN NEVER
 BECOME WORLD LANGUAGE.
fSnac;a1 from Tinted

Special from United Press.)
 Chicago, Oct. 1.-The English Ian. guage can never become the world language. It is too cumbersome. Its idiosyncracies are greater than those of any other language. Other world languages present similar absurdities The universal language of the future is not spoken to-day"
 This was the opinion expressed to- day by Professor c. F. L. Van Steen. dere of Lake Forest University. He is a native of German-Polland. stOne advantage of having but one language is for social, commercial and intellect 3ual purposes he said There is only one solution for the problem. The un- iversa1 language must be worked out and it's qualities must be logic, ease and lack of exception

Although they lost to the Bos- ton He'd Box yesterday. the Philadel- phia Athletics dropped two to the Chi lcago White Box, which prevents them from catching the Tigers. Detroit can loose the three remaining games that are scheduled for them to play and stand 97 won and 56 lost with a per centage of ,634, and Philadelphia if they win their three remaining games to be played would stand 96 won and 67 lost with a percentage of .627. For the last two weeks both teams have been playing gilt edged ball. When the Detroits met the Highlanders in the last series the Athletic-~xpected them to drop at least three out Of four games in New York.

SNOW CLEANERS SCARCE.
q. p. w. Able To Secure Only Half OF
Needed Number.

Scarcity OF labor is the bane OF the
department OF public works just now
in attempting TO clean the downtown
streets OF snow Two hundred men
were wanted Sunday TO clean the
streets. but only half that number
appeared The work would have been
greatly hampered bnt FOR the new
snow-scrapers purchased for the de-
partment this winter. These threw
the snow into windrows from which IL
was more speedily shoveled into
wagons.
In spite of the short force. Wood
ward.ave. and Griswoldst., south of
Grand Circus park, were cleaned Sun
day. and a start made on several other
streets. The fresh snowfall OF Sunday
night means that another trip will
have TO be made over the same streets
again.
AS much snow as possible was
dumped into the sewers but. when
they appeared to be- I'm danger OF
clogging. the remainder was taken 10
the docks and dumped into the river.
Most of the white wings quit work
Christmas day TO enjoy the holiday.
and few OF these returned Sunday.
The demand for labor Is so great in
Detroit at present that the sl.75 per
day paid by the city does not make
much inducement TO handle wet snow.
The appropriation OF $4,000 for clear
ing snow away from downtown streets
will be cut into materially by tais
storm as IL was necessary to employ
40 teams Sunday at 81 per day, in al.
dition 10 the wages OF the laborers.
