'The game is just like a business.

what's right, who gives the club all

Just consider for moment how
many minor league clubs in this coun-

man who is willing to try to advance

HAIN'T GEORGE WASHINGTON
ApocryphaI Story Told of Col. George
Havey-Not Remembered as
Peacham Boy.

A story-apocryphal, perhaps, but
at any rate timely-is going the
rounds of Park Row about Col. George
Harvey, the editor.
Colonel Harvey, according to this
story, visited his native Peacnam a
short time after his first brilliant New
York success, and, on cold winter
morning, entered the Peacham gen.
eral store. But nobody, to his sur
prise, knew him.
Colonel Harvey, seated with the
Peacham veterans around the hot
stove, could not resist telling one or
two of his minor metropolitan sue
cesses-successe which the Peacham-
ties heard in cold silence.
"And 1, too, am Peacham boy" said
Colonel Harvey. 'Yet nobody remem-
bers me here. Strange!"
He turned warmly to an old man
with red chin whiskers striped with
gray.
"You," he said, ARE George Slo-
cum"
He turned to another old man who
had very large, white, even false
teeth.
"You are George r. Boone" he
said.
Then he turned to the whole circle
of veterans round the stove and cried
impulsively:
Somebody, surely, must remember
my name. Come now, think! It's

League Tells Story on Himself
While With Fort Scott.

Umpire Finney of the Pacific Coast
league was once sold for the stagger-
ing sum of $3.50. What's more, Fin
ney is game enough to tell the story
on himself. He was behind the bat
for Fort Scott, in the Kansas league,
in 1906. The team had not been given
sufficient support and it was decided
to disband it. The manager of the
Fort Scott team went down to Coffey-

home. The Coffeyville magnate made
daring proposal to the Fort Scott
impresario. He offered to pay the Fort
Scott luminary the price of his rail

UNDoING OF TOM L0NGBoAT
Track for Several Years, Has
Dropped Out of Sight.

But little is heard of Tom Long
noat, the famous Indian runner, these
days Longboat was sensation on
the track for several years, but has
dropped completely out of sight now.
Longboat flashed across the athletic
horizon about decade ago. He was
h2ralded as a wonder. The reports
CT his running around Hamilton, Ont,
stamped him as the greatest long-dis-
lance runner in the world. Longboat
lived up to his reputation as a marvel
on the track and beat all of the best
distance men of his day He was a
prominent figure in Marathon events

throughout the country and drew big
crowds to see him perform. After en-
joying a high degree of popularity for
some time he showed a reversal OF
form and was beaten regularly in rae
ing events in which he was entered.
1t was said that Longboat was care
less in his training habits and this led
to his undoing as a runner. Now he
appears to have dropped out of the
game entirely. His name does not fig
ure in the athletic news at all.

Reply of United States to British Order-in-C Council Decreeing a Blockade Against German Con- merce Received in London
CONTENTS ARE
 ! NOT ANNOUNCED
By Agreement of Two Gov ernments Publicity Will Be Given Simultaneously on Both Sides of the At lantic
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The re- ply of the United States government. to the British order in council de- creeing a virtual blockade against commerce to and from Germany was cabled to American Ambassador Page at London tonight for presentation to the British foreign office. AS soon as the communication is delivered it will be made public here and in Lon don under an agreement between the two governments. In the meantime officials decline to give an intima- tion of it's contents.
 Beyond the fact the United States on a legitimate trade with neutral countries, even though they are con- tingent to pe1ligerents, little is known of the administrations position in view of developments since the last note was dispatched inquiring how Great Britain and her allies intended to enforce the prohibition against trade "of enemy origin, ownership or destination
 Officials have pointed out, however. that the American government wanted more definite information as to the radius of action of the allies block ading fleets, that the question of whether the order in council was to be enforced under the international 1 law governing blockades or under the rules of contraband, had not been answered.
 Diplomats of other neutral coun- tries, particularly those of South and Central American governments, have displayed the greatest interest in the note. Several of them were among Secretary Bryan's callers today, though so far as could be learned
 none gained any positive information
 as to the character of the document. | Since efforts to bring about joint
 representations regarding the rights
 of neutrals on the high seas failed.
 it is understood that the South and
 Central American republics are anx-
 ious to move along the lines set by
 the United States to establish a rec
 ord which will form the basis of claims for damages suffered by their
 citizens through the activities of the
 allied fleets.
