ment that if some of his men do not
show marked improvement in the
next two weeks he will weed them out
and close up the gaps with young
sters who will at least try. They can
do no worse than fail, and that is not
a new thing on the West Side for this
season.
Bresnahan and the owners Of the
club are entitled to better service
than some of the athletes have given
them. The manager has worked dill
gently to put together winning COM
bination. He has put all his deter
mination into the work, but some of
his people have not seen fit to follow
his lead.
The owners have paid as high sal
aries, in the aggregate, as any other
club in the National league, and are
entitled to faithful work for the ex-
penditure. In any other line of work
a man who shirked would quickly
find himself separated from the pay
roll and would have no redress. He
would simply be getting what was
coming to him.
BaIIpIayers are not different from
other people.
This season offered a fine oppor-
tunity to any team which would play
some consistent baseball. World
beating class was not needed. All
required was a bit of determination
and a willingness to give the best in
the locker. A shot at the worlds Sc
ries coin would have resulted.
The Cubs have suffered an almost
irreparable loss while in the dumps.
They have allowed the Braves and
Dodgers to start their rush, and both
teams will be hard to pull down. Nc

early today.
President Gilmore of the Federal
league has sent an apt retort to Pres
ident Chaplin of the Rochester club
Of the International league. Fielder
Jones of the Sloufeds recently tempt
ed Infielder KOres from the Rochester
club and Chaplin has written Gilmore
explaining that he paid the Giants
$500 for KOres and wants to know
what redress he has.
Gilmore replies that Chaplin might
try the national commission, the gov
erning body of organized baseball,
which exercises a parental watch over
the minors. He declares that Garry
Hartmann. Ban Johnson and John
Tener are responsible for the pres
ent trouble.
Gilmore also points out to ChapIn
that johnson advised some Of the
minor circuits that it would be a good
plan for them to close their gates for
the present season.
Maybe Foxy Jim is trying to help
Ban put this over.
Gilmore is also preparing a warm
ing to players of his own league, fol-
lowing reports that some Of them are
laying down on the job. The warn
ing will include a threat to suspend
without pay any athlete who does
not give his best to the club.
So long as Jim Scott pitches his

Italy is now followed in London indi-
Gates the high importance attached
here to efforts to bring Italy to the

One of the main rea sons advanced for
this desire to include Italy in the part

way is it possible to close so effectuaI-
ly the door through which supplies are
still reaching the Teutonic combatants
in considerable amount.
Machine Guns From America.
A case in point is the confiscation by
the Swiss authorities announced in &C.

guns of American manufacture which
was on the way to Germany from Ge-
noa.
Shipments of iron. copper. antimony

Official communications received by the

Germans in official circles have given
the impression here that the German

to signify that Germany has no hope
of penetrating further into French ter
