to Blockade.

The protest of the United States TO the
rev AusIo-French policy of shutting off
all trade with Germany and her allies
will take the form in the first instance Of
la request for more light. This Govern
mcnt will want to know whenther it is
an actual blockade that Great Britain
and France intend TO enforce or whether
The same results are being sought with
cut assuming the actual responsibilities
imposed by international law for main
tanning a blockade.
If the latter is the case. as now seems
certain. this Government will make ii
clear that the United States as a neu-
trail possesses certain clearly defined
rights and will maintain that no alton
has the right arbitrarily to change the
ru'cs OF war in such a way as to in
frininge upon the hitherto acknowledged
privileges of neutralss.

Burkette, part owner and manager of the Worcester team of the New Eng land league, and report has it that the Worcester management is ready and willing to listen to anything that shows signs of reawakening life in the baseball game in New England. In Boston the agent of the Fed erals was quite busy and he ap- preached Hugh Duffy, owner of the Portland club; Dan Noonan, part
 owner of the Lawrence team, and owner of the Haverhill franchise, and Louis Pieper, new owner of the Lynn
 club. Just what the results were of the conference is not known, but 1t
 has been learned that the agent of the Federals declared positively that
 he intended to have a league in New
 England this season, and that he ex-
 pected to be able to convince a ma
 jority of the owners of the best clubs in these two leagues that it would be to their interests to hook up with the new Federal minor league.
 With the meetings of the Eastern association and the New England league only few days away, there promises to be lively times at both sessions. All the talk in the past about the Federals being here was more or less uncertain, but now they are actually trying to place a league in this field, and that puts an entire ly different aspect on the situation. Aside from the interest in the forth coming meetings, there will be plenty to look forward to in what Presidents O'Rourke and Murnane will have to say, and what they will do, in order to protect their jobs and their sal aries.
 More than that, one of the club owners of the New England league has recently lost promising player, who jumped to the Feds, and he is sore about it. as he hoped to sell him next season for considerable sum of money It is the intention of this owner to ask at the coming New England league meeting what they are going to do about it, and to de- clare that, if the Federals will pay him a fair price for the man, just as have done had the player been draft ed, to accept the money from the out laws Such a statement as that cer- tainly will throw consternation into the ranks of organized baseball, but since the majors so effectually fooled the minors at the recent Omaha con- vention, the latter are waking. up and are now almost ready to take any step to protect themselves realizing that they can expect no help from the big leagues who are themselves fight ing to ward off the Federals.

ELMIlsA TO LOSE CONRoY.
Former Whaler May Land in Inter national League.

That the Elmira club, which won the pennant in 1914, may lose Wild Conroy, the clever manager, at one time a member of the old New Lon don club, is the story that comes from that city.
 According to Elmira writes Con- roy, is being sought by at least two clubs in the International league from which circuit Conroy went to Elmira. One story which was given considerable credence in Elmira was to the effect that ConrCy would have gone to Buffalo had Bill Clymer sue ceeded in landing the management of the Yankees There are other clubs in the International, however, who have been after his services.
