.SCANT news is GIVEN
THE GERMAN PUBLIC
Correspondence of the Associated
PreSs.)


Berlin, August 27-Nearly four week 8
of the European war have passed as
this is written. A series of gigantic
battles has been fought along the
western front from Brussels to the
Swiss frontier. On the east the Rus
slams, despite reverses. have poured
into east Prussia and occupied in force
the eastern end of this long, exposed
eongue of German soil thrust out be-
tween Russian Poland and the Baltic
sea, and as yet the only regular, de-
tailed features of war news for the
German public are the daily casualty
lists.
War bulletins furnish scant reading
for anxious German eyes. The army
leaders can announce the occupation of
Brussels or Liege in seven words and
the rout of eight French army corps in
ninety-barely one word for each mile
of front covered by this great battle
in Lorraine, but day after day the Of
fetal Gazette reels out Its long lists of
lekild, wounded and missing at the rate
of nearly a thousand a day. These
cover only the preliminary fighting be-
fore the great struggles ON the French
frontier.

But it is by no means certain that Crit
fifth will limit his team to four utility
men. He may carry MANY more than
that, as it is understood the American
League clubs are not to be limited in the
matter of players this season.
Strenuous work, such as Griffith in
ficted on his players yesterday. Is sure
to have the team in shape long before
the season opens. 1t was by far the
best workout the players have had this
spring. The several hundred fans who
Ventured to the park were much I'M
pressed with the showing of the new men
and the splendid condition OF the Old
players
II was evident in the batting practice
that Griffith's pitchers are all i'll fairly
good shape. OF course. the purpose OF
this practice is not to show the ability
of the ptcherS but to help the batting

ers are sticking the ball straight over,
and seldom resort to curving or WORKING

took care not to engage i'll the lnileld

no intention OF taking part in any OF the
games scheduled for this week. Wa!ly
Smith will most likely fill his place.
Smith is making a splendid impression,
both in the field and at the bat. he has
all the earmarks of being valuable
player for the team, even though ne
should not be used regularly.
Griffith continues to use Joe Boehilns,
Carl Cashon and Walter johnson IN the
batting pracice. which is held twice
day. This trio of pitchers are hltters OF
more than ordinary ability. and it is ilg-

that he is just as apt to hit INTO one

LOST BIG MONEY.
Sweeney Demanded That Federals
Deposit $4,000 in Bank.

BALTIMORE. Md. March "A. - Ed
Sweeney. who signed to catch with the
New York Americans after he had ap-
piled to the Buffalo club OF the Fed
eral League for a contract, wanted the
whole world for playing with US said
Walter "a. Mullen, vice president of the
Buffalo Federal League team. last night
He wanted a salary of $4,000 for three
years. continued Mullen, land while We
were half wiling to give it to him he
killed his chances of playing with us
by demanding, mind you / say demand
ing. that the entire amount of money
be placed in bank to his credit before
he would sign the contract.
That was too much for us, so We re-
ferred him to President Gilmore, who held
conference with the catcher in Chicago
and who told Sweeney that if he left his
office without signing contract he could
not play with any Federal League club.
I'VE We're willing to meet Sweeney on
any reasonable grounds, but we could not
afford to get too eXtravagant with any
player. no matter what his worth may
he Sweeney. | am positive, was tam
perng with the Federal League with
view of having his salary boosted by the
New York Yankees. The Federal League
is better off without such men, and / am
not sorry that Sweeney, even though he
is a great catcher, will not play on the
Buffalo team this year.
President Gilmore later said that Ban
johnson of the American League. talked
too much about the Sweeney deal and
then did not live up to his talk.
johnson said that he would never let
sweeney play with another American
League team after he made overtures
to the Federal League" said Gilmore.
However, after We had told Sweeney
that we We're through with him. as far
as the Federal League was concerned.
johnson announced that Sweeney had
signed with the New York Americans at
the highest salary ever paid IA catcher.

FARMS FOR FEDERALS.
President Gilmore Says Minors Will
Beg for Privilege Next Season.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 4.-"Well
have organized base ball leagues-minor
organizations, Of course-coming after Us
for permission to serve as farms for our
raw material before the 1914 season is
completed" said President Gilmore when
asked what the Feds would do with their
surplus material
Il have in my pocket now a half dozen
wires asking us to permit clubs to serve
as farms for our league. They are all in
dependent organizations Until the middle
of the season. or until we have something
more definite, l can't say just what the
outcome will be- When we have reached
this point. though, it is a safe bet that We
will not fall down simply because at the
opening we haven't any minor league
clubs to rely on for developing material.
I'm view Of the outcome of the Sweeney
controversy l think the organized clubs
would be glad enough to pick up whatever
material We may drop by the wayslde.
With few exceptions. though. there are
few men who are not good enough for
major league base ball.
I'VE expect to go after those men We
need when the big leagues begin their
pruning he said. There are any num-
ber of men who have been picked out by
organized base ball. but not given an op-
portunity to prove their worth. Our scouts
haven't been idle in the meantime. We
have men on the firing line who are just
as energetic and able as the best OF or
ganiZed base balls scouts. When the Ma
tional and American leagues begin to
Weed out their surplus material we will
be on hand to make advances to the men
who are dropped. By this method We eN-
pect to strengthen our clubs.
There are men who are just as good as
those in the big league. but whom the
organized managers have overlooked. ii
We have 2 hole that can be plugged by
any men shipped back to the minors by
organized base ball We'll get them. Since
the National and American leagues have
disre garded our contracts We will do the
same. We played fair until they turned
on our proposition. Now We are out for
what We grab.
''Wait until the season of 1914 is over
and then the rosters of our clubs
Watch for the developments during the
winter and see what is accomplished by
the Federals. The organized men will bs
knocking at our doors for admittance"
