MUST PAY THE PENALTY
anters Will Lose Their Financial Share Series With Law rence-Commodore Morton F. Plant Disguised With the Action of Players in the So-Caled Strike Threat Trouble Arose From Players Participating Plan6ed- Mosup Game Sunday.

The Planters chief declared that when the New London players started to participate in the Sunday game they knew they were acting contrary to the explicit orders of the baseball com mission, which had been read to them. Manager McCann personally warned the players not to take part in the game at Plainfield and they, ignoring his order. insisted on doing so.
 All would probably have gone weI at that, had Green, the pitcher, not been mixed up in the affair. It was the intention of Manager McCann to use him the following day, and the fact that he wilfully took part in an other game, with the possibility of weakening himself to the point where he would be valueless to his own team, became a most serious matter.
 Manager McCann naturally became incensed at this utter disregard of his orders and took Green to task. Even up to this stage of the proceedings any public breach of relations might have been avoided had some of the players not taken it upon themselves to side with Green and defy the management. This is the act of insubordination that Commodore Plant and Manager Me- Cam refuse to condone.
 List of the Mutinous Ones.
 The players who took part in the Sunday game are Quinn, Green, Rock, Warner, Marhefka, Barberich and Ahearn. One of them said Wednesday that Green had no business to have gone into the Sunday game and that some of the others tried to dissuade him from doing so. As far the others were concerned, the player interviewed said that they were not aware they were doing anything wrong in picking up a piece of easy money" He said that all were agreed, however, that Green had done the wrong thing.
 There was no apparent attempt on the part of this player to shift any re- sponsibility on Green, but rather to show that the others had discouraged him from starting to pitch. Had the players known they were not supposed to play outside during the series, this one continued, they would certainly not have gone to Plainfield. Asked if they had not been ordered not to go there. he said they had not. Manager Me- Cam expressly states that they had.
 The incident is far from closed book. The case is now in the hands of the national baseball commission, and with that body rests the fate of the players concerned in the insubor- dination. No money will be paid any one on the team until the commission has so ordered.
 One of the New London players de- clares he has received a letter from a Federal league magnate offering him a job, together with others on the, team. He is going to hang on to it for future reference.

The acts of ridiculous insubordina- tion of seven players of the New Lon don team directed against Manager H. Eugene McCann have not only resulted in their losing their financial share of the final games of the championship series and in the calling off of the benefit game to have been played at Plant field Thursday, but they are also extremely likely to end organized baseball in New London, that is, so far as Commodore Morton F. Plant is
 In an interview Wednesday morn ing Commodore Plant authorized the statement that he was absolutely dis gusted with the spirit shown by the New London players who participated in the so-called strike threat. He up- held Manager McCann in the position which he took regarding the Sunday playing and at the same time with drew any offers which he had made of money to the players. except to those who had proved themselves loyal to the management.
 q am entirely in favor of ridding the club of those members who have made all this trouble for the manage ment," the commodore said. T do not believe there is any punishment that Manager McCann could have meted out that would have been sufficiently drastic to fit the circumstances. I will
 
 to discontinue my connection with the team, but feel very much like saying so.
 "The question is not so much of the members of the team having partici- pated in the game Sunday against the regulations of the commission. They erred then, but that might have been overlooked. But when it came to a pitcher, who was likely to be used in Mondays game, taking part in an am ateur contest, and then, after being reprimanded for his action, having his teammates, or some of them, declare that he should not be censured and that if he was they were ready to quit with him, is well nigh beyond cre- dence. I repeat that I am disgusted beyond expression at the treatment which these players have accorded to Manager McCann and indirectly to those who have had the welfare of the team closely at heart"
 Manager McCann's Statement.
 Never has an incident in the sport ing life of this section caused such widespread consternation as followed the announcement of the so-called strike of a portion of the New London team on the eve of it's departure for Lawrence. Few of the details were known on the following morning and it remained for the return of Manager McCann and the players to make pub lie the entire situation.
 Manager McCann has this to say concerning the unpleasant incident:

Should Greece be drawn into the European war, an American motor car company will have the distinction of being used in the greatest war of the worlds history.
 His excellency, Agamemnon Schlie- mann, Grecfan minister to the United States. has placed his official sigma ture on an order for 50 1-2 ton trucks to be delivered in New York for tran sit to Greece the middle of September. The factory has put on an extra night force of men to fulfill it's contract
 The trucks are intended for the commissary department of the Greek army. Greece is evidently determined to be fully prepared for any eventu- ality, whether it be merely localized warfare against the Turks or a broaa- CT participation in the general Euro pean struggle.
 The order is especially interesting on account of the important part which motor driven vehicles are already play ing in the war. In fact, aside from the sensational operations of aircraft there is no new feature of the modern plan of warfare attracting more atten- ton than the work of motor trucks.
 The contract was awarded after a lively competition, which included all the accepted tests of power and stam- ina. Every leading truck in America participated.

 A prejudice that lasted decade is breathing it's last. The power wagon of today is no longer blamed for the faults of the early models. This IS great advance for the industry. 1t took time and battle to effect this progress.
 The first trucks did not measure up in what was hoped for them and what had been promised by overconhdent ,salesmen.
 This was really not surprising when analysed. It took many decades to turn out the finished steamboat and locomotive The original models as invented by Fulton and Stephenson were jokes compared to what steam boats and railroad engines have be- come today. Their value to the cause of mechanics inhered in their demon stration of new principles which oth- CTS were destined to carry to commer- cial success.

The new traffic regulations govern ing motor car drivers which went into effect in Washington, D. C., recently have been generally received with ap- proval, with the exception of. the pro- vision which prohibits the use of bril- liant head lamps. The authorities hold that cars equipped with brilliant head lamps cannot be used unless the glass is either painted or covered with cheesecloth or some similar material. The use of dimming apparatus is de- clared to be illegal
 By way of testing the provision which makes dinners illegal, R. H. Martin, manager of one concern, sub- mitted to arrest for driving his car with head lamps dimmed with an at tachment provided for the purpose. He was fined $10 and promptly appealed. Probably it will be several months be- fore the case comes before the higher court, however. In the meantime the district commissioners are being so flooded with protests that it is likely the regulation concerning dinners will be amended to make the use of these devices legal.

In the great war . drama of Eur
ope there Turks domestic trag-
edy which has Enthusiastically play
ed its part In the efforts King
Victor Emanuel has made to pre-
vent his country becoming involved in
the great conflict. It is known in Of
fetal circles that Queen Helena ex-
poets to become mother the first part
of December. This happy event in the
royal families of Europe is today
tinged with sorrow unknown on the
four proceeding occasions when the
Queen presented Italy with three prin-
cesses and the heir to the throne.
1t has been acknowledged by the
court physicians that the beloved and
beautiful queen is suffering from
cancer Of the arm. The delicate con-
dition of the queen has made an oper-
alton impossible. At the time of the
Messina disaster Queen Helena worked
among the destitute and unfortunate
with a courage which won new aztec
ton for her in the italian people. At
this time while caring for a miserable
family, the queen received severe
blow on the arm. For some time she ex-
perienced discomfort, but it was not
until the last few months that the di
sease developed serious form. In the
royal palace where this erstwhile prin,
cess Of Montenegro awaits the expect
ed arrival of a new member Of the
kingly household, her fortitude as she
realizes the inroads the disease is
making upon her, is regarded almost
with veneration by her attendants. 1t
is said that King Victor Emmanuel.
despite the knowledge that the life of
the coming prince or princess might be
|jeopardised. has desired an operation
rather than have disease make further
Roadway upon the queen he adores.
Indeed the indisposition Of the king
of Italy reported at various times

over the state Of health OF the queen.
Under these conditions the approach

marriage, October "a, an event here.

lovers with family roioicings. has aug
mented the grief of the king.
For the past two months stories
have been circulated of the illness of
Princess Yolande, age 10. the eldest
child Of the italian royal house. Prin-
cess Yolande, conceded to be the most
beautiful royal'girl in Europe has been
suffering from hysteria. 1t is known
that the young princess has learned of
