AMERICAN MOGULS
READY FOR PEACE
Would Cut Down Some Player
Lists, Which Now Num-
Der Forty.
MACK MUM ON CHARGES

Club owners of the American
terday in Chicago put themselves or
record in favor of peace, but except
for expressing their sentiments indi-
vidually and informally they brought
no nearer the end of the baseball war
Rumors that overtures had been made
to the Federal League were denied.
The only discussion by the meeting
of the Federal situation lasted but
half an hour. In that time every one
of the eight clubs, through it's repre-
sentative, declared for peace, but IL
was the general opinion that peace
can be reached only by absorption OF
the Federal League, not through It's
recognition. There is no room for a
third league" they agreed, and the
elimination of the competing clubs in
Chicago, st. Louis and Brooklyn must
be included in any terms of peace.
No Change in New York Club.
AS for the New York club, Frank
Farrell, its president, arrived just as
the meeting broke up, and declared
emphatically to the newspaper men
that the Yankees were not for sale.
1t was said, too, that no discussion of
the proposed transfer had taken place
in the meeting, but the desire of the
league for better returns In New York
was admitted.
Except that some of the clubs had
as many as forty men on their pay
rolls and could not dispose of them
because of the fear of the Federal
League, there was no reason found to
warrant recognition of the Federals,
club owners said. Plans for the dis
tribution of extra players in the
minor leagues in a way to assure
their not being signed by the Fed
erals will be left to President john
son and the minor league owners at
the Omaha meeting.
No Charges by Mack.
Manager Mack, of the Athletics. re-
fused to make a formal charge against
Manager Jennings, of Detroit, who
was accused of giving out the news
of waivers being asked on Plank, Ben
der and Coombs. Mack said he had
buried the Ratchet after commune
eating with jennings. The charge
that Manager Griffith, of Washington,
had informed the Boston Braves of
the Athletics weakness" thus con-
tributing to the defeat of his own
colleagues, was not taken seriously.
The league approved the financial
report made by the board of directors
and awarded without argument the
1914 pennant to the Athletics. A short
session tomorrow Is expected to wind
up the meeting.

PANAMA CANAL IS
 STRATEGIC POINT Waterway Will Play Big Pat in Impending European War.

Washington, July 31.-The Panama canal, which will open to commerce in another two weeks, is destined at the outset to become strategic high way of the world if the present hos tilities between Austria Hungary and Servla develop into general conflict involving the other great European powers. There was much speculation in diplomatic circles tonight over the part the great isthmian waterway may play in the impending events.
 Waterway Absolutely Neutralized.
 Treaty stipulation provides that the Panama waterway like the Suez canal shall be absolutely neutralized. It shall be free and open to the ves- sels of commerce and Of war of all nations and shall never be block aded. nor shall any right of war be exercised nor any act of hostility be committed within it.' It was sug- gested here that large part of the commerce which is now passing through Suez might be diverted to fict filled the Mediterranean with fighting craft.
 The liability of search would be @ ldZdKQ LO SQcZ <1I1u WI commerce if the present heavy war clouds burst, and commercial activi- ties might be more curtailed as the sharply the commodities to be in Fcluded in contraband of war.
 Exact Rules Devised.
 While the vessels of war, as we'll as of commerce, of belligerents may freely use the canal, exact rules have been devised to maintain the strictest neutrality of the waterway. The transit of war vessels must be made withathe least possible delay and with only such intermission as may result from the necessities of the service. No belligerent may. embark or dis embark troops, munitions of war or war-like materials in the canal, ex- cept in case of accidental hindrance of the transit, and in such case the transit shall be resumed with all pos sible dispatch v. ..'-.s' <. 7
 The treaty provisions prohibiting any act of hostility in the canal pre- clude any war vessel from exercising the right of search on comm ercial vessel in transit through the water way and this provision. likewise. pro- tects all ships within three marine miles of either terminal. What may happen to vessels carrying contra band, on the high seas of the Atlantic or Pacific, is their own account. War vessels may not remain in the three mile terminal limit longer than twen- ty-four hours, and the treaty stipu- 1ates that "a vessel of one belligerent shall not depart within twenty four hours from the departure of vessel of war of the other belligerent."

Wilson-Ballot For Candidates.
 Denver, Col, July 31.-Criticism of the present democratic state ad- ministration with particular reference to the manner of dealing with the Colorado coal miners strike, was a feature of the. democratic state as- sembly here last night.

 Morgan was thrown out at first to start the inning. It was a very close play, Morgan sliding for the bag, and as Sheridan called him out he made a rush for the umpire. Sheridan swung or Morgan and the latter retaliated. They started to mix it and Clark Griffith and George Burns tore them apart As Sheridan was pushed aside Catcher Ainsmith, who had dashed out of the dugout landed several blows on the umpire.
 The crowd hissed the players who were engaged in the brawl As Ainsmith passed the boxes several fans sitting there upbraided him for his attack on Sheridan. He rushed over to box and hit spectator. The man punched back and AinSmith started to climb over the box. As he was being pulled away by a player sa spectator swung a chair on Ainsn1ith. but instead it hit Henry. the Washing ton catcher. on the head.
