Slump of the Giants can be traced to

Ed Killian Still Complaining.

DETROIT, August 24-Ed Killian,
former Tiger southpaw pitcher in the
pennant-winning days for Detroit, and
who is now pitching semi-pro ball in
this city, is a firm believer in the Play
ers' Fraternity, although he never was
privileged to membership. killian claims
that he was the victim of organized
baseball methods when he was sent from
Toronto to Nashville. He was ordered
to go to the Southern Association against

finally was forced to go to Nashville, or
lie idle the rest OF the season. Killian
claims his case was similar to that of

stirred up. but that it occurred in 1911
when there was no fraternity to protect

Stallings has had considerable trouble

his worries. The Boston outfleld is

New York has slightly the better Of it

HOPES U. S. WILL CONTINUE
POLICY OF NEUTRALITY
London Paper Confident Nothing
Will Arise to Draw This Coun-
try Into War.

LONDON, August "a. S:15 a.m.-The
Daily Mail in an editorial today or the
subject of American neutrality says IL
hopes and believes no development Will
take place which will tempt. much less
compel. the United States to depart from
neutrality.
The American people, it says. cannot
help being affected by the war politically
and strategically and in her commercial
and financial interests. Incidents, it de-
clares. are bound to occur and already
have occurred which touch not her gem
eral policy Of neutrality, but her metnoo
of applying it. In giving instances OF
this the editorial points to loans oy
American bankers.

Will prevent the establishment of credits
in New York on which the belligerents
may draw for the payment Of foodstuf1s
The editorial then refers to the con-
templated purchase of Hamburg-Am eri-
can line steamers. saying:
TT would seem as though the project
were exciting more interest and more
apprehension in the United States than
in England. President Wilson's Whole

champion to procure by all honorable
means for the down-trodden countrymen

There need be no alarm whatever re-
garding my standing in this matter.

stand once and for all that l shall now
take the part of silent moral pressure on

pressure is not menacing, by any means.
I desire morality, the strictest morality

II desire that my country. in view Of

gurate her government under civil

When it becomes a matter Of catch
