Real Solution of Leagues Prob
lens in Transferring Nom
treal Franchise.

An International Lacquer. who is
we'll versed in the problems of the
league, says the only real weak club
in the league is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
the long jump and the expenses in
CURED by visiting clubs.
1.-TWO years ago" he said, "they
tried = freeze Montreal out by raising
the guarantee to 5000 game. Sammy
Lichtenhein, however, is one of the
gamest magnates in the league and he
never whimpered, but it reacted on
other clubs and they are the ones that
are 'squealing' now. Whatever else
may be said about Lichtenhein, he is
game. No other magnate would stand
for losing $4,000 at least every season
and still stick in the league. Sammy
lost money, however, but not so much
as the clubs which went there, be-
cause he gets good grand stand prices
in which the visiting club does not
share.
1.-The International League is the
only big league of any importance
which does not divide the gate re-
ceipts on a percentage basis of $3.50.
The American Association does it
and the travelling expenses in that
league are nearly double what they
are In the International The Interna-
tional League is the most compact
circuit of its size in the country Take
Montreal out and put in Pittsburgh
or Washington and it would be still
better. / also maintain that if the
Eastern clubs opened in the North
occasionally it would be a good thing
for the league. There is no truth in
the fable that the weather is too cold
in Buffalo, Rochester and Toronto.
These towns get the cream of the
openings every year, because the
Fasteners are always taking the
chance on the early spring weather
as you will see by the postponed
openings for the past three years By
the time the Fasteners invade the
North it is May, and the weather has
settled into the finest brand one could
ask for baseball. while the cities in
the lower end of the circuit must be
without baseball at that time.
1.-THE Northern clubs should run the
risk of bad weather every spring the
same as the Fasteners do by open
ing Acknowledgment In the North and
then in the East"

the road last season Smith sent
Schacht down to warm I'D in case
OF an emergency The pitcher in the
box for the Tigers was frequently
displaying the distress signals, but at
times he would rally and weather the
squall. The Tiger leader decided 1t
would be foolish for Schacht to
warm up all the time, and, accord
ingly, told Al to watch for Smith to
wave his cap, which would be the sig
nal for Schacht to warm I'D. An in
ming or two later fly came buzziug
around Smiths ear. and he took a
whack at it with his cap. Schacht.
faithfully watching Smith, immedi-
ately started to warm up. He kept
on pitching for three innings before
Smith noticed him. During that
time Al had pitched practically a
whole game, for a twirler throws the
ball oftener in warming up some
times for five minutes than during a
half game, providing his control is
good in the contest. Smith is not in
the habit of swearing, but when he
realized that Schacht had wasted his
energy the following day, when Al
was called on, and got hammered out
OF the box, Smith said a few things
which Al has not forgotten to this
day.
Roth May he An Ed. Walsh
Another ballplayer who is not wor-
rying about the Federal Leaguers in
these troubl: ;ome times is Dave Roth.
The former Baltimore twirler attached
his signature to a contract yesterday
and will play with the Chicago Amer
lean league Club. Roth is a spitball
artist and made good showing in
the International League. If he dis
plays the same class in the big show
Roth may take Ed Walsh's place on
the White Sox staff.
Had Previous Claim.
President, Charles H. Ebbets says
that Enos kirkpatrick had given him
an option on his services last year,
previous to signing with Baltimore,
and he believes that if the case is
brought into court the Federals' claim
ON Kirkpatrick will be declared in
valid.
That Salary Limit.
Rochester scribes have accused
Jack Dunn of exceeding the salary
limit in signing up the Baltimore ORR
oles. Just for that an international
League authority comes back at
Rochester and accuses President
Charles T. Chaplin of getting around
the salary limit by putting the ball.
tossers on the payroll at his car
wheel factory. 1t is believed that the
salary limit is a joke, and that it will
be abolished, or at least waived, fol
the time being.

and about the City Of Liege on all
sides today.
The allies cavalry and field artillery,
supported by mounted infantry, attack
ed the invaders north of the Meuse,
penetrated their lines of communication

bridges, destroyed stretches of railroad
and so seriously interferred with trans

danger of being cut off from their sup

Another body of Belgian and French
cavalry threatened the German base on

1t was reported there was again
fighting at Liege-a duel between the

The Germans, it was thought, had

WAR IN EUROPE WILL
CAUSE WAR TAX HERE
Lack of Imports Causes Big Falling Off
in Revenues-Replies to Presidents s
offer of Mediation Received

Washington, Aug. 10.-Apprehension
regarding Americans in the European
war zone was rapidly diminishing to-
day. Restoration of cable service to
Germany resulted in Ambassador Gil.
rard notifying the state department
that Americans in Berlin and other
parts of Germany were faring better
than those in other European countries.
This was gratifying news, as apprehen-
sion regarding tourists in the kaiser 8
domains was more acute than in any
other part of Europe.
Gerard also informed Washington Of
ficials that all German ports were hea-
Willy mined and requested that Ameri-
can ships be warned against navigating
in any ports which might be the bases
of hostiGties.
The steamship Olympic, with heavy
cargo of coal, was reported off the New
England coast.
American port collectors were in
strueted by Washington to see that
American neutrality was strictly OBJ
served.
A war tax, government officials ad
mitted, was inevitable. 1t was neccs
sary, they said, to meet the deficit
caused by the falling off of revenue
from imports.
The state department demanded tn,
release of Archer Huntington and Mrs
Huntington, held at Nuremburg by Ger
man authorities.
! Replies to President Wilson's neu
trality proclamation were received from
England, Austria, France and Russia
Secretary Bryan refused to divulg
their contents.
