GILMORE DEPARTS
IN CHEERFUL MOOD
DECLARES OUTLAW TEAMS HAVE
KILLED PENNANT HOPES
OF THREE CLUBS.

New York, Oct. 25.--At the Bilt-
more Hotel this afternoon before the
western delegation to the Federal
League meeting, which concluded liz
labors Saturday, departed James a.
Gilmore appeared in q more cheerful
and affable mood. He admitted frank
ly that his league entertained no de-
signs upon additional Greater New
York territory for the season OF 1915;
as frankly he declared that New York
was the ultimate design OF the Fed
erals. and that as soon as matters
could be satisfactorily arranged an IN
vasion Of Manhattan would ensue.
You must give me credit" said
Mr.. Gilmore, "of having sense enough
to secure desired circuit changes. IT
took the American League nine years
to get its present circuit and official
recognition.

ficulty I'm securing major league play
erS. twenty at most VIII De all We
need of these--twenty OF the caIibre
that have promised to come. More
than a dozen have signed Federal
League contracts already"
Gilmore claims that Federal League
losses during the season OF 1914 were
no heavier than expected. and fully
justified the necessary war expendi-
lures. He believes that with the ad-
ditionai talent his league has secured
for 1915 better showing will be
made.
I'VE have eliminated one opponent
the minor league. as opposed to
us" said he "you will find that
both the International League and the
American Association clubs will reiig-
iously avoid schedule conflicts. Ana
you will find before next spring that

clubs will be calling quits. .

"A Nest Egg" in conceded by critics

to be excruciatingly uproarious, while
there is sufficiency of pathos to
head off the tendency to an over

While some OF the best known anna
teur ball players in Brooklyn wondered
and applauded, Miss Jeanne T. Havi-
land, daughter OF ]. William Hayiland.
Jr.. president Of the South Brooklyn
Board Of Trade, recently won the spe-
ciaI baseball throw contest over Miss
Dorothy crowne. who earned cham
pionshfp honcrs and cup by her
amazing heaves the previous Saturday
afternoon AT the field day of the
Brooklyn Press Club. The ball play
ers gave veil of astonishment when
the first throws OF Miss Crowne and
Miss Haviland went TO center field.
The distance was about 40 feet. A
player who happened to be passing
darted forward and caught the first
ball thrown by Miss Haviland. and
this made IL n foul. but the throw was
by far the longest of the day.

Paris. Aug. 1.-The French cabinet
council, deliberated until early this
morning, discussing the crisis and pro-
spective measures. President Poin-
care signed three DEGREES, the first ex-
tending until August 81, the terms for
the payment of obligations becoming
due within that time; the second pro-
hibiting the export Of grains and 9TH
er products of the soil, and the third
a%bolishlng duties on the importation
OF farinaceous products.
A brief formal statement, setting
forth the action, of the council, was
given out, and a review Of the devel-
opments to date was sent out by a
semi-of1ciai news agency. This COM
m~unication, after referring to the ex-
IRENE gravity Of the crisis, says:
1T Is learned thai since July 25, up
to today, Germany has armed its forts
and concentrated to the east Of Thlon-
Vile (Diedenhofen) and Metz a num-
Der Of army corps. Their outposts
are formed OF numerous troops on
the border of our immediate frontier.
The patrols Of cavalry Of Germany
have even penetrated our territory.
W know also of other grave acts
which have been committed. Com
munlcatlon has been cut, the routes
have been barred and prohibited by
soldiers; numerous automobiles pro-
ceeding have lost their machines
through c~onfiscation. Railroads in
proximity to the frontier have been
destroyed and machine guns AVE
been placed along this district Three
locomotives of the Eastern Ry. Co.
have been stopped at Montreaux-
Vieux, a German frontier station, and
IA other locomotives at Amanvillers
"a German station) have been put in
such condition as to make their return
to France impossible. At the mo-
ment there is no normal means Of
transit between France and Germany.
We believe that the council of minis
tiers deliberated on these facts and
considered measures necessary"
