STOCK ASSESSMENT CAUSED
FIELDER JONES TO RESIGN
st. Louis Feds Manager Decided to Continue
in Charge Of Team Only When Assured
That His Holdings Would Be Exempt

I Manager Griffith will pitch Jim Shaw
and Joe Engel, while there Is no line on
the twirlers Hickey will send to the
mound. though Hamilton is sure to be
one of them.
| The attendance here yesterday was
decidedly low. hardly 500 paid admis-
sions being recorded. ST. Louis never
has been n really great ball town. for
| it has never made any money for those
who have invested here since the days
Of Chris Won der Abe, and it now Is
asked to support three heavily salaried
| teams, and. of course, this is out of the
question. The Cardinals are drawing
well here because the team is a con-
is popular, but neither the Feds nor
| the Browns are doing anything in the
way of laying up coin, and both of
them will finish with a balance on the
wrong side of the ledger in the fall.
Though Jimmy Austin is not a won
| derful ball player or hitter, he makes
himself very valuable man by reason
Of the spirit and pepper he displays
speedy little third baseman always is
on the job. and as result he is very
popular here and usually does his
| share in keeping the Browns in the
games.
Clarence Walker will not get in the
game for some time. He has weak
throwing arm as the result Of long
pegs which he makes when there is no
necessity for them, just to get hand
from the stands. Sisler, the former
college outfielder, is going to make it
difficult for Walker to get back in the
lineup, for the reason that he is both
| hitting and fielding well, and looks to
have the making Of good player.
incidentally. the collegian is not
drawing q million dollars for playing,
fact which also would have some
influence on his selection in preference
to Walker, who is drawing quite a
| bunch, it is said.
| It is sure to be hard road for the
pitchers to travel in Cleveland, where
| double-headers are to be played Sat
will not pitch in any of these games
because he probably will pitch the
| final game here Friday. Boehling. CAL
liza, Engel and Shaw will have to stand
| the brunt of the work in the first four
games, and they are apt to get out of
| It with a few victories to their credit.
Then johnson and Ayers should be
able to finish up in the final games.
Ray Morgan will leave for Washing
| ton at noon today. A st. Louis sur
reon. who examined his injured knee
yesterday afternoon, recommends that the
player have absolute rest for at least
| two weeks, and, in order to have this,
Morgan is going to Washington to
await the return of the Nationals, by
which time he expects to be ready to
take up his position at second base.
Eddie Ainsmith joined the team last
night. He may catch today.

BROWNS ARE BEATEN
Timely Batting and Good
Pitching Win for Nationals.
GALLIA is BIG FACTOR
Allows St. Louis Only One Run in
Nine Innings-Score
Il 2 to1
BY J. ED GRILLo.

ST. LOUIS. July Is. 1915.-Thanks
to some good pitching by Gallia and
Ayers and a timely hit or two in the
eleventh inning, the Nationals man
aged to win out in long contest with
the Browns yesterday afternoon. Gal
liza went the first nine innings, during
which period he was scored on but
once. Ayers went the last two and
was not scored on. In the meantime
the Nationals held a one-run lead until
the seventh. when the score was tied
and they got the run which won the
game in the final inning. Loudermilk
held the Griffmen in check up to this
time. In fact, he should have had a
l-to-0 victory to his credit in the reg
ulation number Of innings, but a bunch
of misplays in the opener gave the
Nationals run and it was by this
margin that they came out victorious
eventually.
How It Happened.
This Is how 1t happened: Moeller
popped UP a little fly which Austin
muffed. Moeller stole second, and after
Foster had the third strike called on
him. severoid dropped the ball and
then foolishly threw to third trying to
catch Moeller. and both hands were
safe. Milan hit in front Of the plate
and gave Moeller q chance to score,
while Milan was being thrown out
After that Loudermilk was the master
of the situation. and no runs or threats
OF runs were made so far as the
Griffmen were concerned until the
eleventh inning. Gallia also pitched
well. and held the Browns in check
until the seventh. when Walsh started
matters with hit. He was moved
with a sacrifice and Severoid's single
to left scored him with the tying run.
The Browns had two men on in the
ninth and tenth with two out, but
could not score. while the Griffmen got
the run they needed in the eleventh
After Shanks had been retired, Gandil
singled to center. Connolly's bunt was
messed up by Austin. and then Henry
singled to right. sending Gandil home
McBride's little grounder caused Con-
molly to be forced out at the plate, and
Ayers ended the inning by dying at
first. But the one run proved sufficient,
for Ayers retired the Browns in order
in their half. The score:

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Several days
ago, when Fielder Jones resigned from
the management of the st. Louis Feds,
he was induced to reconsider, and re-
sumed the management Of the team.
There was a story went the rounds
to the effect that Jones had discov-
cred that the umpire had instructions
from some one higher up not to allow
the ST. Louis team to win. 1t was this
which caused Jones to hand in his res
ignation, and yet Jones never men
toned the names of the umpires in
volved, and the head of the league
never referred to it, nor took any
action Now comes the real story.
which is to the effect that the St. Louis
club wanted to assess the stock that
Jones holds in the Federal League
club, and that he baked against this
When Jones was signed to the man
agement of the club last season he was
handed a big block of the st. Louis
Federal League stock. This. of course,
has not paid dividends, but when the
holders Jones resigned, and 1t was only
after the officials Of the club promised
him that the assessment would not az
feet his holdings that he agreed to re-
turn to the fold and continue at the
head of the team.
The charge that the Federal League
has manipulated its pennant race does
not have many supporters. and yet II
this is handed out to the pubic there
will be those who have suspicious and
the Feds will not be helped by such a
story being circulated.
Bert Gallia is the only one Of the
new crop of pitchers who Is showing
real form with the Griffmen. Gallia
has been a most consistent performer
this season, and the chances are he
will finish with a good record. His
work yesterday was splendid. He not
only has lot Of stuff, but he knows
how to use it., and in this respect
stands head and shoulders over any OF
the other recruit twirlers.
John Henry is catching the best ball
Of his career right now, probably be-
cause he is forced to do all the work
behind the bat and Is In better physi-
cal condition as a result. The big
catcher now weighs but 1873 pounds,
which is considerably lighter than he
has been in some time. incidentally, he
is an improved hitter. Yesterday he
had two doubles and a single. and it
proved to be the winning run. Both of
his doubles were clean-cut hits which.
however, did not affect the score, for
Loudermilk was rather stingy with
those who followed Henry in the bat
ting order.
The Browns and Nationals will play a
double header today. The first game
will be called at 2 o'clock, western time.

CLUB IN NEW YORK
Feds to Place Team There in
1916, Says Gilmore.
OTHER CITIES CONSIDERED
League Also May Be Represented in
Detroit, Boston or
Cleveland.

CHICAGO, July 15.-New territory
will be invaded by the Federal League
next season, it was announced today by
James A. Gilmore. president of the or
ganization, in confirming the report
that the leagues headquarters would
be moved from Chicago to New York
city within the next two weeks. Plans
are being made, Gilmore admitted, for
a new circuit in 1916. and clubs may be
launched in Detroit, Boston or Cleve-
land. 1t already has been decided upon,
he said. to place club in New York
city. Whether 1t would be the Newark
club that is to be transferred to New
York. the Federal League executive
declined to say.
The decision to transfer the leagues
headquarters to New York came as a
SURPRISE as no inkling had been given
of the change. AS Chicago was the
birthplace of the organization, it was
assumed that it's official base would re-
main here.
sity alone" President Gilmore explain
ed. I'VE are going to place a club in
New York city next year, and as this
will entail lot of additional work for
this ofice i thought it best to move
there.
"As II was organized base ball that
questioned our right to be called
major league, we will try to correct
any impression to the contrary next
year. when we get our new circuit into
operation 1t seems to be the impress
sion that no league can be a major
without New York. we intend to
satisfy organized ball in that regard"
President Gilmore asserted that the
financial condition of the league never
was in better shape.
What is a loss of. say. $500 year
for each club?" he said. We are will
ing to stand that for three years or so
and then some.

AGRICULTURAL
PROSPECTS STILL
LOOKING FINE
FOR THIS YEAR

Washington, July 14.-Prospects for
the billion bushels wheat crop con-
tinued to grow during the week ended
yesterday Spring wheat had the most
favorable week Of the season over
much Of the belt and the outlook
everywhere is most promising. The
national weather and crop bulletin
announced today that the winter
wheat, however, had unfavorable
weather and harvesting delayed in
the important producing sections by
rain, much ripe wheat being still I'M
cut. In southern portions of the belt
and Pacific coast states harvesting is
progressing satisfactorily and good
yields are reported.
Corn was favored with somewhat
better conditions than during the pre-
ceding weeks, but Is being retarded in
the more northern portions of the
belt.
Rain is delaying harvesting of oats
in some sections and promoting too
heavy growth and rust in others, but
the whole crop outlook continue ex-
cellent. Tobacco generally made sat

AUTO ASSN HAS
DECLARED WAR ON
SPEEDING DRIVERS

Portland, Me-, July 1.-THE Maine Au-
tomobile Association is to do everything
in it's power to prevent automobile
speeding on the new State highways.
Yesterday it posted sign at Martins
Point bridge asking that automobiles
travel at a reasonable rate of speed on
the new federal highway and other SINH
lar signs will be posted on other sections
of new State highway as completed.
In addition to posting the signs the
association will do everything in its
power to get the license numbers Of au-
tomobilists who operate their cars reck-
lessly and without regard to the safety
of others, and who also break the speed
laws on the new State highways and re-
port them to the. Maine State highway
commission and to the secretary OF State
for investigation and prosecutions. Ev-
cry effort will be made to have the H.
censes of reckless drivers taken away
from them.
Fast driving destroys the best Of high
ways and reckless driving imperils the
lives Of others and the Maine Automobile
Association has taken a strong stand
against both.

THE INNOCENCE
OF MIDDIES IN
CRIBBING CASE

Annapolis. Md, July 14.-1n his argu-
mont in behalf Of the original defendants
in the cribbing case before the court on
inquiry at tho naval academy today.
Congressman Hay stated that they had
been informed by the secretary OF the
navy that his action would be governed
by the finding Of the present court.
The special points emphasized by coun'
sci for the accused midshipmen were
that the government had not shown that
the midshipmen know Of any theft OF
examination papers and that the hearing
had not shed any light on that point. II
was contended that the evidence strongly
bears out the belief that the papers were
not recognizable as coming examinations
and that the treatment Of the papers by
the midshipmen and their absence Of Sc
cretiveness bear out the theory OF theil
innocence.
