PAST SEASON OF PARK CITY
 LEAGUE WAS GREAT SUCCESS

for Pops city champion St. Charles team back in 1909.
 Moran and Bailey, both old sea warriors, agreed to withdraw their clubs from the league on the follow
 ing conditions, that they be allowed to continue as members of the
 Board of Directors and their condi- tions were accepted. Then came the
 calm after the storm and the, old ship
 had clear sailing the rest of the voy- age.
 Dame Fortune then arrived and
 presented us with something which is absolute necessity for the sue
 cess of any baseball league, namely a. close finish. The Park CityS, a Econtender for the entire season. was strongly opposed by the St. Mary team and the championship was not assured until the final game of the
 season had been played The Park City team, the champions, led the league in team batting, team fielding, team un-mahing and also in team base running. Natzke and Shea played brilliant bah all season and the most of the success of the cham
 pions is due to their playing But l at the same time don't forget the work of Boss Billy Ryan who worked day
 and night for his team. Ryan start l ed with but three players but finally corralled some of the cream of anna
 teur players in the city Many a |
 ran on the floor of the league meeting hall and several times the foxy one made Billy refer to Hby1e before he could convince him.
 Let us now take glance at the St. Mary contingent of ball players John ny Hope entered the league with his
 last year St. Mary team, but he soon
 found out to his astonishment that he would have to nfake change.
 The HHopefuIsy of last year were a. crowd of energetic young players which was far below the calibre Of l the Park City League. Hope soon I found out this fact and he imme- diately began to strengthen by letting loose his entire team of youngsters with the exception of MarroIl and his boy battery Schorndorf and Donnel1y. He acquired t"Toots'' Slattery and Ed I die Tole immediately and later added Townsend, McEIroy, Halapfn. Herlan i grand support from the St. Mary Holy
 Name Society and this coupled with the advice of Rev. Thomas P. MuI- cahy, who is a past master at the art oi l managing baseball teams, enabled him to make at grand showing this, his l first year in organized baseball I But let us now come down to fine points in regards to the success of the league. The Park City League for the clever head work on the part lsof Tom Magner and Charlie Mahoney I the latter being termed the Charlie IConiskey of the league. Here is hoping that we will see another Park I Citl league in 1915 and that we will be served with the same article of ball as in the past.

Russia Brought About Great
 European War
By Count voN BERNsToRFF, Ger man Ambassador to United States
TT HIS European war was brought

TT HIS European war was brought about by Russia. What right,
 I ask, have the Russians to stand up for Servia? That is the principle. The only right they claim to have is on the pan-Slavic principle, and that means the de- struction of Austria.
 THE NEXT QUESTION IS, DID THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA OR DID HE NOT MOBILIZE HIS ARMY AGAINST AUSTRIA AND GERMANY WHEN NEGOTIATIONS WERE STILL GOING oN2
 I believe everybody has the right to sympathize with whatever nation he may, but I expect the American people will be so fair minded as tc see that RUSSIA STARTED THIS WAR.
 THE QUESTION OF THE ORIGIN OF THE WAR HAS BEEN HIDDEN BY THE FACT THAT THE CABLE BETWEEN THIS COUNTRY Aa&u GERMANY WAS GUT.

lRy uold Man Grunnp.'')


 Gone but not forgotten is the Park City Baseball League of the season of 1914. Like a ship on the ocean did the Park City League sail through the season. She left port the 3rd Of May with sails flying and set her course on what appeared to be a calm and happy sea- The sail ing was hne the ship being managed by Captain Tom Adagner and Pilot Charlie Mahoney. A committee was appointed to draw up a set of by laws and they surprised the follow CTS of amateur baseball by submit ting for the approval of the Board or Directors a set Of bylaws which were mostly copied from Ban B. Johnson g organization.
 The bylaws caused the first storm of the trip, from May to September, because of the fact that some of the players and likewise managers had not closely followed up the rules of the National game. The idea of placing a fine on a rowdy player in amateur baseball circles was un- known to them and they objected to this clause, most strenuously. Af- ter a little drumming the officers of the league finally adopted the clause and thereafter the umpire's job was easy.
 Along about the middle ot July a terrific storm broke upon the sea and the outlook was anything but bril- liant. Expenses were getting rath- CT high and the receipts of the games were anything but encouraging. The directors decided that something would have to be done to cut down expenses and after quite a little ha- rangiung it was decided to drop the Woodside and East Bridgeport clubs from the league standing. These two clubs were putting up a classy article of baseball k5lx ror some req son or other the fans refused to sup port them. The s'C1owns's as the Woodsdes were termed received strong oppositton from the I.ongfel- low A C. and that accounts for their being unable to draw the crowds.
 The East Bridgeport club, known in amateur baseball as the sLen1on Morans.' 's were grudgingly opposed by the Rosebud team, both clubs being in the same neighborhood. The ssI1enaon NEOrans'' had controlled Whee1erss lot for the part six years and were drawing record breaking crowds for amateur basepal1. This season the Rosebuds stepped in and claimed the field and by some means one Of their supporters secured an tied the chances of the -.Lemon Mo rans Of having a successful season.
 Bailey Of the Woodsides says he will be back in the game again in II but Pop Moran claims that he is through with the game for good Well may the old Fox quit an d lay back up on his laurels as he can boast of the fact that he Is the only local base ball manager that has ever sent a twirIeE to the major leagues. now refer Co Ray Keating who staIret 2

The German Campaign in Poland.

General Won Hindenburg's campaign in West
ern Poland has been developed with all the energy
and determination which were to be expected Of
this hard fghter-the most acclaimed leader on
the German side whom the war has produced.
The Kaiser has created him field marshal and
has apparently given him free hand in the east
ern war theatre Since he took command Of the
Joint German and Austro-Hungarian forces in Po-
land and Galica the fighting there has practically
dwarfed the fighting in the east
Under Won Hindenburgs leadership Germany
has become committed 10 a campaign of primary
importance against Russia. The German armies
IN the east have been more than doubled In
size. until they now comprise from 100000 TO
l 200 900 men, including reserves. Three German
armies have been mentioned in official dispatches
those commanded by Generals Won Morgen,
Francois and Won Mackensen. These arc all oper-
ating in Northwestern Poland. There is another
German army in East Prussia, and at least one
IRE in Southwestern Poland The Austro-Hun-
ian forces in the latter region and in Western
Galicia probably number from 900 20 100000
men The campaign in the east properly holds
the centre Of the stage because Of the scope and
variety Of the operations involved their strategic
brilliancv and the extent Of the losses which have
occurred.
Apparently Won Hindenburg's plan has been to
relieve the pressure on the critical point in the
line Of Hungarian defence-at
Cracow-by a dashing offensive directed against
Warsaw. The German armies have pushed the
Russians back from the Posen frontier about 100
niles and not only hold the Lodz-Lowicz line
soutb Of the Vistula, but have attempted move
ment north of the Vistula, which, if successful,
will take Warsaw in the rear. The Russians are
standing on the defensive in the Warsaw region;
vet all the pressure brought by Won Hindenourg
there has not yet stopped the Russian offensive

o,,a;,s+ Crecow That is the issue on which the
nresent campaign turns. The Russian advance
IN Western Galica must be flung back II Won
Eindenburgs strategy is 20 succeed II he merely
holds the Russians in Northern and Central 70
land while they are pressing ahead IN the south
aud investing Cracow. his main purpose Will have
failed.
In a recent interview the field marshal said that
tho object Of the dash toward Warsaw last Octo-
her was merely 10 cover a thorough destruction OF
the railways Of Western Poland II that Is 80, his
nolicv was purely defensive-a safeguarding OF
Silosia and Posen against invasion. His second
dash has accomplished the same purpose lie Is
defending Prussia on the banks Of the lower
Vistula.
But the October forward movement meant more
for the Austro-Hungarians than the destruction
Of the railroads Of Poland II meant the recovery
Of Middle and Eastern Galcia, and when the
demonstration came 10 an end in retreat the
Austro- Hungarian armies found themselves ma
rouvred all the way back TO Cracow, their last
stronghold in Western Gacia.
Similarly. If the investment Of Cracow is not
prevented by Won Hndenburg's operations in 20
land. Austria-Hungary will again pay the major
part Of the penalty. The way to Berlin may be
kent closed but the way to Vienna will be left
wide open. The German successes in the Warsaw
region have been important, but the real test Of
their value is still TO come in the effect which
they may have on the maintenance Of the Russian
offensive against Cracow.

SOUR AND EMPTY PHRASES
A Jersey View of Mr.. Wilson After

Another Humorist in the Cabinet.

Secretary Daniels is not the only humorist IN
the Cabinet In his annual report the Secretary
Of Labor puts in a claim for Immortality rival
ling that Of the man who barred the playing Of
Its Long, Long Way to Tipperary' in the
navy because Of its violation Of strict neutral
ity"
Mr. Wilson has made the remarkable discovery
that when Congress authorized the Secretary of
Labor to act as mediator and TO appoint com
missoners of Cancellation in labor disputes, 1t in
tended him "to represent primarily the wage
earning interests" in such disputes. That is
beautiful labor union ideal, and Mr.. Wilson is an
ardent labor unionist. But what becomes Of the
public interest, which every public official is sup
posed to serve? If the Secretary of Labor is to
look primarily after the interests of strikers in in
dustrial disputes, it would be equally logical to
expect the Secretary of Commerce to consider
only the interests of the transporters and the mid
dlemen and the Secretary Of the Treasury to de-
vote himself primarily to the wellbeng of the
bankers and the importers.
/ To his credit Mr. Wilson is little ashamed of
himself an Interpreter of his mediatoria
functions. He may admit that he is under a
special retainer TO a special interest. Yet he
feels that he knows how to rise above the lmi-
tatons Of such a retainership He says that he
will take on as mediator, conciliator etc, some
thing of the august character of the head of the
Department of State while representing the in
terests Of this country in disputes between it and
other countries" A great Secretary of State, in
Mr. Wilson's opinion, can be depended upon TO be
fair TO all other countries. although championing
the claims of his own country. Possibly the Sec
rotary of Labor had Mr.. Bryan and the Colom-
bian treaty in mind. Anyway, he thinks that he
can rise TO equal heights Of diplomatic magnanim-
ity, and while preferring the interests of the
strikers in every dispute also give the COM
mon run of outsiders-including the general pub
lic-more than half chance
We fear that most friendly nations, however
high their regard for Mr. Bryan, would not be
disposed to accept him as an ideal arbiter in their
disputes with the United States. We are also
afraid that the public and parties TO strike dis
putes other than labor unions would lack some
confidence in the fine diplomatic impartiality of
Mr. Wilson's mediation. We don't need a great
international statesman as the head Of the Labor
Department. II is the Secretary OF Labor's duty
in putting the machinery Of mediation and con-
citation into operation 10 disavow all partisan
ship and all fubdub and 10 keep the interest Of
the public which employs him exclusively in mind.
There are too many statesmen-jokers about Wash
ington nowadays.
