For many years enforcement of law
in Knox County. so far as the sale of
liquor and the running of gambling
devices are concerned, has been a

ARMY-NAvY INTEREST KEEN.
Demand for Tickets Greater Than
Ever-Even in Victories.

NEW YORK, November 13.-That the
interest in the Army-Navy foot ball
game is as great as ever is evidenced
by the fact that all the tickets to be
sold by the New York base ball club
have been disposed of. The game this
year will give the winner an edge on
the loser. as up to the present time the
teams are even on the number of games
won. which has added flavor to the
contest to the extent that demand for
tickets has been greater than ever. .
According to the agreement existing
between the New York base ball club
and the service schools the block of
tickets to be sold by the New York club
amounts to about 4,s00. Each of the
academies receives 1880 invitation
tickets, and each reserves the right to
purchase 1000 more. In addition to
these, the New York base ball club Is
obliged to hold 1000 tickets for each of
the institutions until November IT, sub
ject to the order of the academies. If
either school returns any part of the
latter 5000 tickets to the New York
club on the morning of November II
the club will conduct an added sale un-
til these tickets are exhausted.

Says New Park Will Be Copied
After White Sox Home.

NEW YORK, November 13.-Capt. T.
L. Huston of the New York American
League Base Ball Club explained his
recent Monte Cristo disappearance by
appearing at the club Offices yesterday
afternoon. bland and smiling as usual.
Just got back this minute from Chi
cago," said the captain. and believe me,
I have been stepping some"
did you see anybody Of the Federal
League In Chicago or elsewhere?" the
captain was asked.
Not soul. And don't expect to. I
went to Chicago to inspect Comiskey
Park. I think 1t the most compact,
from space-saving standards, C. any
in organized base ball. 1t presents un-
limited economical features. though it
has certain drawbacks. I hope to COM
bine its virtues with the best points of
all the other modern plants. The new
Yankee home will be the acme of con-
venience and magnificence."
1T has been reported" Capt. Huston
was assured, that the uncertainty of
Federal League plans for the future
might interfere with the building
In short, that the Yankees would con-
tinue to operate at the Polo Grounds
rather than move off Manhattan, pro-
vided the independents are serious in
their talk of an invasion of Manhattan.
Is there any truth in this gossip"
No Interest In Outlaws.
Absolutely none! The American
League does not know there is a Fed
eral League. The schemes of the out
laws do not interest us in any par
ticular. We have chosen our site for
the new ball park" said Capt. Huston.
Evening star., 1915-11-13

Our building plans have been prepared
and are almost ready for adoption. I
wish to inspect Comiskey Park once
more simply to satisfy myself that our
architects could not improve their
specifications.
I'VE do not care a rap whether the
Federal League comes into New York.
That is their business. not ours. Our
corporation has decided to provide a
new home for the Yankees and will
carry the scheme through. quite willing
to abide the issue of such judgment.
In a very short time we expect to be
able to make public announcement
not only of our site. but OF our plans
and specifications for building"
Capt. Huston admitted that he had
visited Washington before journeying
to Chicago. He denied. however, that
he had gone to the capital city for the
purpose of securing players of that
club by purchase or trade.
In Washington on Business.
washington has nobody outside of
Walter Johnson who could guarantee
any improvement over our regulars or
prospects," said he. "One might as
well expect to secure Ty Cobb. iris
Speaker or Eddie Collins as to land
Griffith's great pitcher. Personal busi-
ness took me to Washington"
Capt. Huston also spiked the rumor
that certain American League moguls
would confer with Federal League pro-
moters at French Lick Springs.
Ban johnson and Charles A. Comis-
key left Chicago Wednesday night he
said. But they did not head for
French Lick. They set out with a big
party for Camp Jerome, the celebrated
hunting preserve in Wisconsin. They
tried their hardest to kidnap me. 1
