Other Of Starting War.
Berlin, August ga further official
communication regarding French acts
of hostility against Germany was pub
lished here tonight. 1t said:
"The German troops hitherto have
obeyed orders not to cross the French
frontier. French troops, on the can
trary, since yesterday, have made sew
eral attacks on the frontier posts
without any declaration Of war having
been made.
"The French have crossed the from
tier at several places in spite of the
fact that the French government a
few days ago informed US that II
would not infringe on the u%noccapied
zone Of six miles from the frontier and
since last night companies Of French
troops have been In occupation Of a
number Of German villages.
"In this way, France has opened the
attack upon US and has established a
state Of war which has compelled the
German empire to take measures for
the security Of it's territory"

ITO ELIMINATE
THIRD LEAGUE
Satisfactory Plan to End Baseball
War Said to Be Pending

Chicago, June 3.-"There will be
only two leagues eventually, which will
mean a consolidation OF the National,
American and Federal organizations"
This statement was made by mag
nate connected with one OF the rival
organizations i'm baseball. He seemed
to have grounds for making such AN
assertion. When pressed for a more
detailed explanation upon which nc
based his opinion, he simply closed like
clam and said, Wait and see"
Now comes President Gilmore of the
Federal league and says that organized
baseball will be shaken by a revolution
within the next sixty days. He does
not speak right out and tell what will
happen, but it is minated that several
leagues are to withdraw from organic
ed baseball and affiliate with the Feds.
These minor ORGANIZATIONS are said to
be the American association Western
league and the International league.
To return To the prediction that there
would eventually be Il reorganization
Of the three big leagues, the magnates
who advanced the idea predicted that
the two new leagues, whether they be
National and Federal, American and
Federal or National and American, as
they now stand, will contain a ten
club league, thereby adding four new
teams to the present examinations,
each of which is now made up of eight
clubs.
The idea is that the weaker clubs in
all three leagues will be abolished and
the teams consolidated so as to make
a two-leaguc organization of ten clubs,
each giving twenty teams where there
are now twenty -four.
Five days ago word was sent out to
every manager in the Federal league
from the leagues headquarters to keep
hands off all American association
players. This followed closely upon the
action of Pitcher Adams of the st. Joe
team of the Western league, who
jumped to the Kansas City Feds.
In the office of President Wccghman
last Friday was held a secret confer
cnce between President WcCghman.
President Gilmore and President Mike
Cantillon and Manager joe Cantillon
of the Minneapolis team. 1t was from
these men that President Wecghman
obtained the property at North Clark
and Addition streets on which he built
the new Federal league park.
President Chivington of the Amcri-
can association said today that the re-
port of revolution in baseball was
news To him and he knew positively
nothing Of any of his associates being
involved.
You can say for me there is no
combination of the American associa-
ton and Federal league to revolution
ize baseball" said Chivington. Il knew
the Cantillons were here. but am sure
they did not come to confer with the
magnates of the Federal leaguc, unless
IT was with President Wecghman Of
the Chicago team concerning the prop
crty which Weeghman obtained from
them for his park. | cannot make any
further comment on the yarn"
