Supposition of London Likely t. w
Unfounded - Wants Separate
Peace With Slavs.
BY J. w. II. MASON.

New York, Aug. 7.-Yesterday's
fall Of Ivangorod is only the military
complement Of the evacuation of
Warsaw. The two victories them
selves are but part of the greater
campaign which has for it's objective
the obliteration of the Russian field
forces
Although the capture of the Vistula
line is not an end in itself, it is by
far the greatest success of the war,
and must be named with the supreme
military achievements Of all history.
The immensity of the accomplish
ment Is due to the fact that the
miracle has been worked with only
part of the Teutonic power. Ger
many is holding England and France
in check and Austria is presenting
an impregnable front to Italy. Yet,
both powers have enough excess
strength to capture the principal
military stronghplds Of the Slavs.
This is what makes the Germanic
victory rank almost with the legend
ary combats of Titans.
Prove to Be Unfounded.
London's belief that the Germans
now will concentrate in the west for
new drive toward Calais will pro-
badly prove to be unfounded. The
all-controlling purpose of present
Teutonic strategy is to force Russia
out of the war. 1t would be more
short-sighted for Berlin and Vienna
to abandon the eastern offensive now
than it would have been to quit the
east after the capture of Lemberg.
The depression of normally pessimis-
tic Slavs grows weaker with each
Teutonic victory. Lack of ammuni-
tiOn does not explain the continuous
Russian retreat since the first of
May.
The frightful strain of the years
fighting undoubtedly has begun to
undertermine the Slav morale; and
it Is legitimate for the Teutons to be-
lieve they may cause Russia's COM
plete collapse in the near future.
Cannot Be Pierced.
The French and English lines can
not be pierced with the same amount
of pressure that is being used in
Poland In fact it is doubtful wheth-
er by any possibility they can be SER
iously broken at all. The British
and French trenches are far better
prepared and better manned than is
the Russian front. There is nothing
publicly known about the western
situation that might Encourage the
Germans to hope for victory. The
western allies have been saving their
ammunition since the eastern drive
began, in order to meet possible
German offensive against themselves.
They are rested and are admirably
prepared for defensive combat. That
the Teutonic armies, therefore,
should cease their Russian offensive,
Just as the Slavs are half beaten and
attempt new battle of Flanders in
the west, it is impossible to believe.
To force a separate peace from Rus
sia will probably continue to be the
Kaiser's dominating purpose

some of the factions in Mexico were to

Curley says he has received a wire
from Harry Pollock, manager and pro-

Removing Draft Doesn' Alter Status
By FRANK c. NENKE.

how many minor leagues there are, but
they do not yearn to see any other ma
jOr league in operation. If the Ameri-
can association and international
leagues became major leagues they
would act as competitors. 1t would
split the interest OF the major leagues
four ways, not including the Feds.
Therefore, it seems fairly certain
that the magnates Of the American and
National leagues would duck any plan
that would call for a series of games
between their clubs and those of the
American association and international
league. Such a series would give the
American association and international
league team n chance for victory. a
decisive victory for them would con-
vince the baseball public that those
leagues really were major leagues.
Fms Want to ne shown.
If the teams of the American associa-
ton and the International league never
met those of the American and National
leagues, there would be no real chance
for the fans to get line" on the rel
ative powers of the teams. The A. A.
and International teams might set up
high sounding claims. Their supporters
might say they played a better game
Of baseball than the teams in the

that wouldn't convince the mai or

The major league magnates have

THINK CLABBY'S STABLEMATE
IS COMING LIGHTWEIGHT

Chicago, Ill, Feb. Local fight fans
believe Chicago harbors two of the best
lightweights in the business. One, OF
course, is Charley White, but the other
is practically unknown In this country
outside Of the Windy city. He is Joe
yelling, a 10 year old youth, a stable
mate of Jimmy Clabby. and a yOungster
who has shown enough to bear watch
ing
yelling is a legitimate lightweight
and can turn 133 pounds with ease He
IS handled by Larney Lichtenstein, the
same Larney who piloted Jimmy Clabby
TO the lightweight crown. Clabby has
yelling in charge and is teaching him
the various tricks that made the Ham
mond boy past master as a boxer.
Joe went to Australia with the Lich-
tenstein stable and while in Antipodes
was put through a rigorous schooling
by Clabby so much so that he left that
country with the lightweight belt Of
Australia.

n I EN 1OtsENr FEB. 9-Ihe lifting
of the draft rule from the Amer
lean association and Interna-
tional league wouldn't make them ma
jor league propositions. President Tom
Chivington of the American association,
president Ed Barrows of the Interua-
tional league, and the magnates of
those organizations may think so, but
they are practically alone in their be-
lief.
A major league is league made I'D
of top notch ball players. There are
very few top notchers in the American
association and the International
league; certainly not enough to give
them major league ranking. It is q
safe wager that not more than five
percent Of the players enrolled now in
the American association and the In
ternational league could stand the ma
jor league test
Take the happenings OF the past ten
years for an example. Each year the
American association and the Interna-
tional league have sent from so to 100
of their players-their very best play
ers-up into the majors OF that num-
Der about IS per cent were chased back
each year to the minors.
Face Season With Leftovers.
If only 10 per cent of the very best
players that those two leagues pro-
duced are Of major league caIiber, it
IS cinch that the percentage of major
league players in the American asso-
citation and International league now
averages little more than five per cent.
The best players in the American as
ISOLATION and the international league
during 1914 already have been drafted
or sold and those leagues face the 1915
season with nothing but the leftovers.
In time those leagues might become
pretty well cluttered up with major
league players with the draft rule
lifted, because the American and Ma
tional leagues could not grab the stars
each year. But that condition wouldn't
come about for three, four or five
years. Even then the American assoc
citation and international leagues hard
" would be able to establish a major
league status in the eyes of the baseball
public.
Chances For Games Remote.
To convince people that they are ma
lor leagues, the teams of those two
leagues would have to show that thev
are capable of beating the teams Of the
american and National leagues. They
might do it if they got a chance But
those chances. looking at things from
TINS angle, are very very remote.
