Comiskey Is Tied Tightly to
Many Athletics He

THINKS PEACE IN SIGHT

CHICAGO, Oct. -"There will be
three or four years more of bad bust
ness at the box office if the baseball
war continues
Charles A. Comisky, the White Sox
magnate, made that remark today in
the course of a discussion Of the years
disasters in the national game.
Comiskey is one of the few big
league magnates supposed to have
made money during the late and most
lamented baseball season. The fact
that his books show a profit is due, of
course, to Commy's remarkable per-
sonal following, which will stand by
him, winning or losing. In that re-
spect he stands alone in big league
company.
Holding His Following.
But right now Comiskey stands to
lose every dollar he made last year,
for in an effort to hold that personal
following" he has signed his name to
the most remarkable collection of one
sided baseball contracts in the history
Of the game.
To avert a raid by the Federals and
purely as a matter of professional
pride, he has hired for a number Of
years a gang of what members Of
the White Sox called "baseball bums,' -
players whom he cannot possibly use
next year, but who are signed and
sealed to receive salaries they cannot
earn.
What is Comiskey going to do with
this excess baggage?
Must Pay Difference.
Most of it will be sold to the minors,
provided the minors are in condition
to buy anything this winter. Conced-
ing that most of the players will! he

ence between the salary figures called
for in their contracts and the scale
the minors can afford to pay will lhave
to come out of Comiskey's pocket.

HlNKEY HAS REV0IUTI0NIZED THE
BIG YALE ATTACK IN FIVE WEEKS

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Analyzing the
defeat Of Notre Dame Saturday by
Yale % to o, Walter H.. Eckersall,
former noted quarterback of the Uni
versity of Chicago football team and
sporting writer, has this to say:
stake your hats off to Frank Hin
key, coach of the Yale football team,
which defeated Notre Dame at New
Haven.
"This gridiron mentor, one of the
greatest ends that ever graced the
chalk lined field, revolutionized the
bull dog methods in five weeks. The
team he placed on the field against the
western eleven, admitted to be one of
the strongest ever sent east to battle
a big team, showed the football world
that the West has several things to
learn if it hopes to cope successfully
with the strong teams of the east
mot alone did the Yale coach con-
ine his teachings to the American
game but he adopted some of the
strong formations of English rugby.
The combination resulted in the one
sided defeat of Notre Dame.
"Yale's victory cannot be attributed
so much to it's strong defensive play
as to it's running attack, which should
play an important part in all it's i'm
portant football clashes. This running
offense will be of great help to Yale in
all it's big games and if it was worked
successfully against defensive team

VILLA NON1 ILO f1DNAA~f1 1OA\'
~ ACKGUARD though he is in
many respects, General Villa
- commands ones attention and
even ones admiration for certain other
qualities. No one but born leader of
men could have made the dramatic
impression he produced at the recent
conference of Mexican factions at
Agus Calientes. And if he meant what
he said, when he declared that he
would accept any man aside from Car
rama for provisional president of
Mexico, then his course is not entirely
blameworthy. He himself evidently
has no desire to be president, and if
it is his sincere opinion that Carranza
is too weak to rule Mexico firmly, and
he is insisting on some other man for
the job on that account solely, and not
for selfish reasons, his patriotism and
largeness of outlook can hardly be
questioned.
The principal drawback to this pro-
gram is that even though another man
is named for the provisional presi-
dency Villa will still control the army,
and in Mexico the man who rules the
army rules the country. After he has
ousted Carranza, any other man plac-
ed in the presidential chair, no matter
how independent he is, will seem to be
the creature of Villa Minneapolis

NATIONAL DEFENSE AT SEA.

~IE burst of world war turns the
American mind to the eternal
L. problem of national defense.
Opinions still differ as to the need for
a larger Army with greater reserves,
but we are nearly one in upholding the
necessity of preparedness at sea.
With the longest coast line and the
most imperfect coast defense of any
great nation, and the barrier of the
ocean between US and any probable
enemy, our first line of defense is on
the sea.
The American fleet has kept fair
pace with others and has changed
character quickly in the light of war
experience The Russo-Japanese war
made dreadnoughts the only battle
ships in the first line, and we have
built scarcely anything else since.
Three, larger than any yet built in the
world, are in preparation now, and
public opinion will demand more.
After the destruction of this war,
the United States will probably have
the second best in the world, and per-
haps the first. But this war may
change the character of sea-ighting,
so that all Nations will have to begin
over again.
The war so far seems to confirm
the provision Of Sir Percy Scott, the
British naval authority, that the sub
marine is the vessel of the future, for
defense or offense. 1t has wrought
most of the naval destruction by the
weaker against the stronger enemy.
The naval construction of the fu-
ture waits upon the fate of greater
battles in the North Sea. If a SUBJ
marine can destroy a battleship cost
ing twenty times as much, as it has
already destroyed cruisers, the nations
will turn from dreadnoughts to SUBJ
marines.
The submarine is in it's infancy.
If it can thus arrest the attention of
the world, there will be world rivalry
for perfecting it. Germany seems to
be at the front now, but the science
and invention of the United States will
not be Backward Minneapolis Jour-
nal.

d Il needed, because they hate
war and shrink from qualifying sick
and wounded for return to it, or be-
cause they have a partizan obsession
which shrinks from aiding the enemy
But the sick and wounded of the fir
