CHICAGO MAY GET
OUT Of FEDERAL
LEAGUE At ONCE
Pres. Weegman Says He'll
Have to Be Shown That
Other Teams in League Are
of Major League CaIibre.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Chicago may
withdraw from the Federal league.
This announcement was made this
afternoon to the owners of the other
clubs in the new baseball organiza-
ton with the proviso that the Chicago
club would remain within the league
if the other magnates will show Pres.
Chas. Weeghman six other clubs OF
major league caliber.
"Show me five other clubs that are
as good as my club and / will stick,
was the ultimatum handed to the
other club owners by Weeghman dur
ing heated session, otherwise there
is nothing doing. There are now two
clubs in the league that look like real
major league stuff. The Chicago club
is one of them and Baltimore the
other. They must show me four
more. I've never tied up with a dead
proposition yet"
That all is not JOY within the ranks
of the Federal league was apparent
when Weeghman made this state
ment Pres. James a Gilmore OF the
league came right TO bat Immediately
after Weeghman's assertion and said
that so far as he was concerned there
were five satisfactory clubs in the
league.
There was a rumor afloat about the
Hotel Lasalle that Weeghman might
walk out of the magnates' meeting at
any moment. This rumOr also car
ried another rumor that Weeghman
had been given an opportunity TO pur-
chase the ST. Louis American league.
Pres. Gilmore admitted that there
was an inclination on the part of
some of the Federal league club
owners TO demand that they be shown
just what each club has done up to
date.
Several of the men present de-
mand a show down." he said. Mr..
Weeghman was the hardest man to
satisfy, but 1 think he has been
shown TO his satisfaction that the
other clubs will be in a satisfactory
condition at the beginning OF the
playing season. have no fear Of his
withdrawing his support"

GIVE UP HOPE OF
SAVING CREW Of
LOST SUBMARINE
Graphing Operations Resumed
Without ReSult-Ship May
Have Been Carried Into Eng
liSh Channel.

PLYMOUTH Eng. Jan. AL
though all hope of the officers and
the crew OF the sunken British sub
marine 4. had been abandoned. a
fleet Of ships raked Whitesand bay
Saturday for traces of the lost veS-
SCI.
Graphing operations were renewed
at daybreak and after several hours
vigorous search word was flashed
ashore by wireless that no trace OF
the submarine had been found. This
gave rise 10 the theory that the A.
had been caught by the tides and car
ried beyond the rim OF the bay, per-
haps toward the middle Of the Eng
lish channel
As the A. was equipped with only
a y hours supply of oxygen and as
she had been submerged for % hours
Saturday morning, navy officials held
out no hope. They reached the con-
clusion tFat the bubbles which arose
TO the surface near the spot where
the submarine disappeared were
caused by efforts Of the sailors to es-
cape with the helmets supplied sub
marine boats.

cate the craft had failed. Although
the efforts 70 locate and raise the dis
abled craft are TO be resumed in the
morning il is feared that the attempt
TO save the lives Of those on board
viii be fruitless and that their names
will be added to the roll OF 102 lives
already sacrificed in the development
of the submarine auxiliary of the navy
since 1904.
Beyond the fact that the "A-7'' was
one OF the oldest submarines in the
service. having been built in 1897 on
the same lines as five other vessels
which have already met with disaster,
no explanation of the accident is Of
fered.

one theory is that when the subma-
Tine descended her cigarshaped nose
penetrated the soft sand and mud on
the bottom of Whitesand bay 10 such
Il depth that she was unable 20 free
herself
II is also suggested that the ballast
tank pump may have refused to act
so that il was impossible TO blow out
the water ballast when il was desired
10 bring the vessel to surface.
A more plausible explanation is that
the crew may have been overcome by
fumes; otherwise being furnished with
air locks and safety helmets they

with the vessel. took the command
only few days ago.
