Difficulty i'll Securing Passage.

Miss Daisy Leverage of New York is
guest of Miss Booth at the cottage.
Miss Leverage tells an interesting
story OF her experiences in Europe,
where she was travelling with her faith
er at the beginning of the war. They
were at Lucerne when the first rumor
of war reached them: They started at
once for the coast and on reaching
Milan managed to secure second hand
tickets on r. steamer from Genoa to
Panama. hut reached Genoa just too
late for the boat. They then heard of
vessel which was 10 he chartered by
some American millionaires. After Il
week : delay they managed to obtain
tickets Cor passage on this boat, but
when the boat finally sailed it was
found that the steamship company also
had been selling tickets to the number
of about 800 more than the vessel could
accommodate and so Miss Leverage
and father were again left behind. They
managed finally to get steerage pas
sage on an English steamer sent to
take only English refugees.
On the trip Miss Leverage became
acquainted with an attractive woman
who turned out to be a German spy.

BIG LEAGUE OWNERS
ARE IN A QUANDARY
Whether or Not to Retain Many Re.
cruits Is the Bothersome
Question.

CINCINNATI March 30.-The big
ing and an army of athletes still upon
the pay roll, find themselves confronted
with a new, decidedly annoying situa-
ton. They stand between price and
policy; between the foe and the flat
tened wallet, and they are straining
their thinktanks to figure out the
answer. To summarize the PROPOSE
ton: Shall they keep large squad
Of extra players. or shall they risk
Their flying to the Federals il they re-
lease them?
If they keep numerous horde OF
promising juniors. the salary totals
for the season. with these fellows add
ed to the immense raises caused by
the Federal warfare, will be enormous
enough to bankrupt a small European
kingdom. But if they try to econo-
mize and to get back some of the
money by keeping only small num-
Der, there will be elegant recruiting
material left for the Federals.
Many angry youths, thinking that
they didn't get a fair show in the
across to the outlaws. If. by any
chance-and 1t would be just base ball
luck If it happened-some Of the kids
proved stars in the new league, the
fans would never quit joshing the
teams that turned them down.
Hard lines. to say the least. On one
side. the biggest pay roll that ever
involuntarily helping the Federals-
wouldn't such a choice Of evils justify
a magnate in hiring strong man to
heave rocks at him?

WILL SHOW CONTRACTS.
Pittsburgh Club Will Produce Them
in Injunction Proceedings,

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. March So
Contracts between the Pittsburgh Ma
tional League club and its players will
be exhibited in court here Thursday as
a result of a decision by Chancellor
]. T. Henderson in injunction proceed
inss of the Pittsburgh club against S.
II. Camnitz and other agents of the
Federal League
The chancellor previously had indi-
Gated that to prove contract relations
between club and player the contracts
should he exhibited in court Counsel
for the Pittsburgh club stated that the
club was willing to exhibit the con-
tracts, but argued that the salary paid
each player was a private business re-
lation.
1t was agreed that the salary clause
be subject to the scrutiny of the court
alone.
The court granted the Pittsburgh
club until Thursday to produce the
contracts. At that time the merit of
the case with reference to the anti
trust features of organized base ball
and the validity of the base ball con-
tracts will be known.

MAPS HAVE ALWAYS DONE
WELL IN OPENING GAMES
But 1t Seems That Good Beginners Have Generally
Been Poor Finishers-Star Pitchers Not
Successful in Openings, Either.

Base ball dope is a very peculiar
thing. Looking over the major league
openings for the last ten years one
finds that the Pirates who in this time
have won only one flag, have landed
eight of their opening controversies,
and so have the Braves, who generally
have finished way down in the ruck.
The Maps, also non-pennant winners,
have done splendidly at the kickoff.
capturing seven contests. The White
Elephants. with a record of four pen
nants in ten years. have broken away
in front just six times, and the Giants,
who have annexed five gonfalons, have
had only an even split in their pry-on
combats. The McGrawites, moreover, have
been blanked on opening day on four
occasions. Six times have the Cardinals
had to be content with one tally in
their first championship contests.
Star Pitchers Fail.
Star pitchers do not always fare well
when real hostilities commence. Cy
Young was the twirler for the Boston
Red Sox In four Of their openers, and
he was bracketed only once. Joe Woods

tory. two defeats and one tie Nap

HERE, REFUSES TO
DISCUSS FEDERAL LEAGUE
Brooklyn N1agnate Says Time Will Tell Story-'Doc
Gessler in City Mysterious Visit-First
Game With Dodgers Is Called Of.

It is in violation of the law and Cess
Ter or any one else attempting the
trick can be convicted of conspiracy
The Nationals practice was confined
to the space under the Erandstand
this morning. Griffith had the entire
squad in action for several hours and
announced that he would not have them
do any work this afternoon. All the
pitchers took workout this morn
ing. while the rest of the squad
warmed up their arms and took long
runs.
If the present rainy spell lasts but a
day or two it will not interfere with
the players condition. The team is, of
course. in need of clear weather. which
will allow play every day until the
season opens, but it is not believed that
a day or SO of work under the grand
stand will have a detrimental effect on
the teams condition.
Because of the condition of the
grounds today's game with Brooklyn
has been declared off. The two teams
hope to clash tomorrow.
Hugh High. the fast young outfieldcr
who was given trial with the Detroit
team last fall seems to have improved
to such an extent that it is likely he
will be installed in left field as d regu-
lar. Veach. who has been holding down
this position, does not seem to fill the
bill to Jennings liking, and High. who
Is fast and seems to have improved his
hitting. is mentioned for the place.
Jimmy Callahan is growing optimiS-
tic. He makes the assertion that the
SoN will have pitchers this season who
are as efficient as Walter Johnson. He
names Cicotte, Scott. Russell, Benz and
Walsh as the twirlers who will equal
Johnson's records. 1t is needless to say
that Jeems will have something to re-
tract before the season is over Grant
ing that he has strong pitching staff
there is not one of his twirlers in the
same class with the Nationals star,
and this will be proven by the figures
just as soon as the pennant race gets
under way.
Because Big Ed Walsh made a good
showing against the Venice California
team the other day it is taken for granted
that the once Sreat pitcher has returned
to his best form, in which event it is
figured that the White Sox will have a
good chance for the flag this year. But
it is by no means established that Walsh
is the pitcher he was. The fact that he
worked well against weak minor league
team proves little. Not until he has
faced several of the American League
teams will there be any correct line on
his condition. There are but few in
stances on record where a pitcher has
lost his cunning as a result of overwork
and has come back to his best form.
Walsh may be an exception, but he will
have to show more than he has before
this can be claimed.

WAYS TO RAISE MONEY.
Will Be Discussed at Meeting Of
Olympic Board Tonight.

NEW YORK, March 3o-Ways and
means to insure winning team at the
Olympic games In Berlin in 1916 will be
discussed tonight at a meeting here of
the executive board of the American
Olympic committee. AS the question of
expenses is the most important, the
board will discuss plans to raise a fund
of 100000.
Everett c. Brown Of Chicago, former
president Of the Amateur Athletic Union,
said today that he was confident the
necessary amount would be subscribed
to send enough champions abroad to
capture every event in the German
stadium.
While the members of the committee
are devising ways and means to make
the team most successful, many other
persons have begun a movement to help
the fund.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Charles Ebbets. owner of the Brooklyn
National League club and one of the
most prominent magnates of the old Or
ganization, is in the city with his bail
team 1t was Ebbets who purchased Joe
Tinker from the Cincinnati club for $25,-
Geo, after which the player jumped to
the Federal League. 1t was stated in a
New York paper the other day that the
Brooklyn club would shortly put in a
claim for $1,000 against the Cincinnati
club because Tinker had never reported
to it, the ten thousand which was to
have been paid Tinker as a part of the
transaction being deducted from the
claim.
When Ebbets was asked regarding this
matter he said that he had nothing to
say about the transaction, and that it
was a matter between the. Brooklyn and
Cincinnati clubs. which had not been
taken up and would not be until later.
Ebbets is well pleased with his team
He says that Manager Robinson has
welded together what looks to be d
strong combination. and in his opinion
will give Brooklyn the strongest team
it has had in years.
I'VE will have an improved infield
with Dick Egan at short said he. THE
change of clubs is sure to make n big
difference In Egan, who was with Gin
clnnati. Smith on third, Egan at short.
Cutshaw at second and Daubert at first
are a good combination. 1t has been said
that we are weak in pitchers, but that
is mistaken impression. In Reulbach,
Rucker and Ragon we have a seasoned
trio, and in addition we have some very
promising youngsters, among them Elmer
Brown, who was with st. Louis a couple
of years ago. and has developed into Il
mighty good pitcher
When asked what he thought of the
Federal League, Ebbets said: II do not
intend to discuss the new league. Time
will tell the story
1t develops that Doc Gessler. the
manager of the Pittsburgh Federals,
was in the city Sunday. What his mis-
sion was could not be learned. Gessler
has been visiting various training
camps In the south and made PROPOSE
tions to players under contract. Eb-
bets, in speaking of Gessler. said:
This thing of making propositions
to players under contract is one of Ned
Hanlon's schemes. I have d letter from
Hanlon written during the days of the
League war in which he .sug-
gested that we send scouts to Ameri-
can League players under contract and
make them fabulous offers for the pur-
pose of getting them dissatisfied. That
Is what Gessier has been trying to do.

Fromme of the Giants. He worked
in three openers for the Reds and one
for the Cardinals and defeat was his
portion on each occasion.

IS HAVING SUCCESS
Dubuc Bids Fair to Be the
Richest Ball Player.
INVESTMENTS PAYING WELL
Seems to Realize Profitable Returns
From Everything He Undertakes.
His Realty Holdings.
INVESTMENTS PAYING WELL

DETROIT. Mich. March S0--Jean
Dubuc should some day be referred to
as the wealthiest man in base bail and
the day is not SO very far off
They say Jean is a wise pitcher. and
he is; has a good head and thinks fast
and has that finer sense and all that sort
of thing, but outside of base ball the
brain that makes Jean one of the best
pitchers in the business is making him
one of the wealthiest capitalists In the
good town of Montreal, where his home
Is; also where most of his real estate
holdings are located.
A few Years ago Montreal did not
have a bowling alley. But the Cana
dams there liked bowling, which was
showing on the lawns where they tried
the game.
Duouc decided that if people thought
enough of bowling to bowl on the
the ball down regulation alleys If they
got the opportunity. Jean had about
$1,000 saved up and he secured a lease
on building in the downtown dis
trlct' This site stood on one Of the
best streets and was an ideal Ioca-
ton.
Failure Was Prophesied.
There was no such thing as sympathy
Tor Dubuc in his venture. All the wise
boys OF the city told Jean he would be
broken inside Of two months The lease
itself ran into thousands each year, and
he would have tough time meeting ex-
penses each month. But Dubuc did some
high financing and he opened his bowl
ing alleys.
The Dubuc alleys proved successful
from the start. They were engaged weeks
ahead, and the pin boys worked from
morning till midnight and often later.
The alleys became so popular that Jean
also opened pool and billiard hall and
cigar store. Success kept crowdinE into
everything he started. His three ventures
proved ''mints."
Today Montreal has more bowling al
ieys and pool and billiard parlors than
any city Of its size in this country, and
also in Canada.
Dubuc was first in the game the pioneer
of the thing, and his alleys and parlors
still lead In the race for popularity. Those
who laughed at him when he first pro-
posed the ventures stayed to pay him roy
atty on the amusement privileges he Of
fers.
Enormous incomes from his business
gave Dubuc chance to dabble in real
estate. Last winter he made one big
transaction which has doubled his
bank roll. and this is rather fair work
for any man in the real estate game.
Represents Sporting Goods Firm.
At present Dubuc is representative
of the Carr Sporting Goods Manufac-
turing Company. Carr has given Du-
buc the privilege of placing the COM
pany's base ball in various colleges.
and Jean. who attended Notre Dame
and has many close friends in a large
number of schools over the country,
is selling the balls rapidly in large
numbers. He says his commission from
base ball will net him about $1,000
this year.
Although Dubuc is known only for
his work as a major league ball player.
the money that his pitching brings him
is less than that coming out Of any of
his side ventures. And at that Dubuc
is considered one of the stars close to
the five thousand-dollar mark.
