and Captain Boyd, German naval At.

Developments from Fay's confession
were being closely watched by state
department ofiiciais today. Special
inquiry is being made to establish
whether the German government, eth.
er through its secret service or army

Fay's plot to prevent munitions from
reaching the allies.
II 1t is conclusively established that
Fay was given funds by German ofli-
cials, officials here declared vigorous
protest with demand for official dis.
ayowal of the conspiracy would follow

Another angle developed today was
the necessity for harsher federal laws
to deal with such conspiracy cases.

SCRANTON, Pa, February 16.-
Hughey Jennings. manager of the De-
troit Americans, who has been practic-
ing law here this winter, left yesterday
morning for Gulfport, Miss, to prepare
for the spring training of the Tigers.
He won't stop at Detroit, as he was in
that city last week. Before leaving
Jennings said that he expects to see
a hard battle for the American League
pennant in 1915 with Detroit, Wash
ington, Boston, st. Louis, Philadelphia
that the team he will have to beat is
Boston. Hughey thinks that the Sox
have the strongest pitching staff in the
league. with good hitting, fielding
and base running club to back them
up.
IF Washington develops a pitcher or
two to help out Walter johnson and
Joe Boehling Griffith's team will make
trouble" says the Tigers leader. "Grif
has well balanced team.
Connie Mack will miss Eddie Col
Inns, and I don't think his pitchers are
strong enough to take the Athletics in
first. st. Louis has good pitching and
an evenly balanced and aggressive
club. Eddie Collins should add much
strength to the SoX, and | think his
should make Comiskey's crowd pen
nant contender. L expect that Pep
Young will prove a star on second
base for me. and if I can plug up the
hole at the keystone sack there will be
one more pennant flying in Detroit.

1t may prove a serious mistake that
organized base ball has failed to give
the much needed assistance to the In
ternational League. The Feds can be de-
pended on to take advantage of the de-
lay in giving the International League
permission to place a club in the
Bronx. They are said to have two
franchises. which can be moved east
There is no doubt about the Kansas
city franchise, and that of In
dianapolis also may be available. II
would be a hard blow to organized
base ball if the Feds should plant a
team in New York, and this could most
likely be prevented if the International
League were given this territory. II
assuredly would be better to have
friendly opposition in the big city than
to have the rival league break in there
