DEFENDANTS ADMIT
CHARTERINC VESSELS

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Acording to
their present plans, the attorneys for
Karl Buenz and other employees Of the
Hamburg.Americanl line on trial in the
United States District court for con-
spiracy will offer no defense. They
say they are confident of acquittal as
the case now stands.
The shipping men could not offer
much in defense. since William Rand,
Jr., chief counsel for Buenz, has ad-
mitted practically all the facts intro
duced by Roger Wood, assistant dis
trict attorney, in charge of the case.
That the ships were chartered by the
Hamburg-American interests, that they
we're coaled and provisioned, and that
they supplied German warships has
been admitted by the defense. That
Captain Boyd handed out the money
is also conceded.
The defendants base their conf
dence on the views attributed to Sec
rotary of State Lansing two days ago
that the acts alleged and admitted
constituted no breach Of international
law and no attempt to involve this
country. They believe the charges
against them have simmered down to
nothing more serious than violation of
the customs regulations.

GAMENESS MADE JAKE DAUBERT
A MAJOR LEAGUE BALL PLAYER
Was Sent to Minors Four Times, But Battled
On Until He Was Real Star.

The next year he was In the Southern
League and 1t was at Nashville that
he came to the prominent notice of
scouts. At the end of the first season
there were five major league clubs
fighting for his services and Cleveland
got him.
He Joined Cleveland in the spring
training trip. He was too modest and
retiring to advertise himself and al
though he looked good he was sent
back after brief trial.
Three years in succession he was be
yond doubt the greatest first baseman
in the Southern-and each year he
Joined the big show and was declared
a failure.
Down In Nashville there was a
veteran ball player. He had had his
chance; he had been up and come bacn
and he knew Daubert and knew
fidence and the friendship of the retir-
ing young player and he told him a few
things.
Daubert set the Southern ahre that
year. Cleveland had grown to believe
Daubert never would do. but Brooklyn
stepped in and procured him.
This time Daubert determined to
make good. The first day he stepped
on the base he started rushing the at
tack. Rather to his own surprise he
discovered that the difference between
ing was chiefly in the ina agination He
commenced hitting and found that he
could bat the pitching of the big stars
almost as well as he could those lesser
ones who shine in the smaller leagues.
And from that day to this he has been
one of the best batters in the National
League.

NEWARK CLUB MAY MOVE.
International League Contemplates
Transfer to Harrisburg, Pa.

NEW YORK, June 4.-Base ball cir
cles were stirred yesterday by the re
port that the Newark club of the In
ternational League was contemplating e
a withdrawal from that city to Harris
burg, Pa The club was purchased last
spring by George l.. Solomon from
Charles H. Ebbets. There has been a
noticeable lack of support since the
start Of the season. and this, 1t is un-
derstood, has impressed the club
management with the necessity of a
change to some other city. Harrisburg
probably offers the best possibilities
Of any of the larger cities. 1t Is in
cluded in the Tri-State League, but as
that league has suspended play for
this season, at least. the city Is at pres
ent without a base ball club. President
Solomon would not say yesterday that
the move was definitely decided upon.
What, however, lent some credence
to 1t was the fact that the manager.
Harry Smith, was yesterday uncondi- :
tionally released In explaining the
action 1t was said that the relations
between the club and Smith were cor
dial, but that 1t was necessary to make
a change under present conditions in
newark. Smith came to the Indians in
1912. and the year following Joe Nc
C;tnnity. then manager. made him cap
tain. Newark won its hrst pennant un-
der Smith.

Special Dispatch to The star.

BROOKLYN, June 4.-There is a les
son for all young men in Jake Daubert,
member Of the Brooklyn base ball team
and premier first baseman of the coun-
try. II Is a lesson in confidence In ones
own ability and proof that the fellow
who sticks to his work faithfully. who
refuses to be discouraged ard plugs
right along sooner or later Will md
himself.
If you CLEAN through the three
leagues among the players you VIII
find fewer fellows who will interest
YOU more, or whom you will like better
than this same big, quiet fellow who is
almost as shy as a girl and very hard
to get acquainted with. He runs from
interviewers, but when he finds that
they really like him, and that they are
on the level about it, he smiles Kind.
likabIe smile and Is just natural fell
low.
Few players ever have gone through
experience that he endured and then
come back. Four times he was brought
up from the minor leagues and four
times he was sent back before he final
ly gained the confidence in himself that
was necessary.
Daubert was born on a farm down In
southern Pennsylvania. not far from
Lancaster, and as a boy he played ball
for a little town team. He was brought
into Lancaster and for a whole year
and part of another played around that
district.

BY n. C. BYRD.

only Two games were played in the
amateur leagues yesterday. one was
staged in the Potomac League and the
| other in the Home Club circuit In
the aforementioned contest the Machin-
lists defeated the Government Hospital
by s to Q, and in the last the Reclama-
tion team blanked the Indian ONCE by
. to 0.
The Machinists scored six runs in the
second and third innings. and this lead
practically gave them the game with
out much further exertion. They out
hit and generally outplayed the Hospi-
tai aggregation. Especially did the
winners outhit their opponents getting
twelve safeties against seven. ,rooke
and kuhnest of the winning nine were
the best batters of the game, each con-
Meeting for three safe drives. The
fielding of the two clubs was about the
against 1t.
pitched splendid ball against the Indian
Office. The members of the latter
team were able to get their bats
against the ball for hits only twice,
Sa bin and Coursey being the ones to hit
safely. Tomlin famed nine and probably
strike out route had he been compelled
to work harder Carr, who played first
base for Reclamation, made three hts
out of four trips to the plate.
1t undoubtedly would serve to keep
up interest in the amateur league if all
the circuits would adopt the same
action as that taken by the Depart
mental recently-divide the race in two
series, and have the winners play
final series for the title. Several of the
organizations have already done this,
and it appears to be very good idea.
In many cases one team makes a run
away of the race and is SO far ahead
by the time the season is half over that
the followers Of the game lose their in
terest in the remaining part of the
schedule. But when the clubs have
chance to get two opportunities to win,
interest is kept up during the entire
year. and comes to climax In the final
series between the two Vlctors of
course, there would be occasions when
one team would win both series, but
that does not often happen In the pro-
