sFEDs TO HAVE 1o-cENT BALn.
This Will Be The Basis Of Fight
 Against Organized Baseball.

New York, Aug. 9.-Within a short
 time the Federal League will make
 the important announcement that a policy of popular priced baseball will
 be adopted in all eight cities of the
 independent circuit. That means 10
 cents for the bleachers, 25 cents for
 the pavilions and 50 cents for the
 grand stand. This innovation was
 practically decided upon by President
 Gilmore after he and several other
 Federal League officials witnessed the
 big crowd which went to the Newark
 Park at Harrison yesterday at the reduced prices of admission. The attendance was more than 1S,0 ,000.
 'eOn the 1O-cent admission to the bleachers, President Gilmore and his associates expect to make the basis of their future fight against organized baseball. The two major leagues have expected something of this sort for some time, but they hardly expected that the independent league would take such d radical financial step as this.
 President Gilmore said at the Wal dorf last night that the wholesale re- duction of prices did not mean any reduction of the Federal League players salary or any falling off in the standard of the ball they have been playing. One of the Federal League owners said last night that negotia- tors were already under way with seven prominent major league play CTS whose contracts expire at the close of the present season.
 ~The Federal League is making it's fight now on the supposition that the falling off of interest in baseball this season is because the prices are too high. It is the result of an econ- omic condition, President Gilmore says, which is noticeable in the whole commercial world. He said that at yesterdays game in Newark 60 per cent. of those in the 10-cent bleachers were men. In the 25-cent pavilion it was necessary to stop selling tickets. Only one game of the double-header with Kansas City was played, the rain stopping the second oae.
 determined to put stop to the prac- tice of pitchers dscoloring the new balls as they are put into play, and has made a new rule under which a violation will be punishable with a $50 fine.
 President Gilmore and President Harry F. Sinclair will go to Boston this week to look over the new park of the Boston Braves before deciding on the plans for the proposed park to be built in this city.

VALE BASEBALD COACH RESIGNS.
Frank Quinby Retires as Head of Baseball Team-Reasons for Action.

New Haven, Aug. 9.-Frank Quinby, the Yale baseball coach, has sent his resignation to the Yale Athletic asso- citation in which he explains his reasons. Quinby's contract had year longer to run, but it was felt that the conditions which existed the past season should not be repeated again in Yale baseball Quinby, as coach, was disregarded by Captain Lou Middle brook, and it is agreed on all sides that a situation in which the captain and coach cannot work together should be eliminated. Quinby's will lingness to re+S'e has s,mplified the matter. He has powerful backing for reappointm with increased power, however.
 Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon the association to assert itself to the extent of limiting the powers of the captain and broadening those of the coach. Captain Wilson of the football eleven assists that he pro- poses to devote his attention to playing and to leading his eleven on the field this fall, giving over the coaching and selection of players to the coaching staff, of whom Head Coach Hinkey will have the final word. r

EVERS WILL STICK.
Braves Captain Will Not Quit Team
 Objects To Criticism.

St. Louis, Aug. 9.-'Theyve almost got my goat, but I'm going to stick it out" declared Johnny Evers, Cap tain of the Boston Braves yester- day, when he was asked if the report that he would quit the game for the season at the end of the present series with the St. Louis was authentic.
 T can't quit the team," he declar- ed, although I want a rest and I need it. But Gaffney has been too square with me and so has Stallings andthe club has too much money in = vested in me for me to lie down at this stage of the game. I can't af- ford it. The club needs me. But I'm sick, mentally and physically I'm still weak from that attack of pneumonia last Winter, and my leg is still sore. I have to bandage it every day and I can't play like I used to in this condition.
 But that's not the thing that wor- ries me. It's the fight the papers are making on me, and especially in Pittsburgh, where it is bitterest. I'm not a dirty gutter rat and roughneck, and I can't stand of people to think so. have family, and I don't want them and my friends to think that. fight on the ball team mean verbally-but in the years I've been in baseball I've never done any dirty trick toward another player. I've never spiked a man and I don't resort to that sort of tactics. "~
 T don't mind the fans riding me. I like it, because I take it that they're kidding but these things in black and white hurt a man. If I were we'll and strong physically I wouldn't mind it, but my present phy- sical condition is against me. But I'A stick it out as long as possible I'm going on East with the team. and after we get back home, if I can take some sort of rest for a few days now and then, I may get along all right"

Hartford, Aug. 9.-FoIiowing a con- ference held here yesterday between William H.

The shops which have not as yet granted the requests will be dealt with as individuals and an attempt will be made to secure the new work ing conditions by negotitions be- tween the employers and employees.

can after having committed a crime in Italy,
in order to apprehcnd him the Italian govern
ment would be obliged to negotiate with the
Vatican for his extradition just as If he had
fed to France or any other foreign country.
For no possible reason can Italian officials
enter the Vatican. No Italian private or Of
fcer is allowed to enter it in military uniform.
The mail of the Vatican is just as much I'M
touched by Italian authorities as is, for in
stance, American mail for Switzerland, landed
at Genoa and forwarded to its destination by
the Italian postal administration The same
is true regarding kilograms, though now the
use of wireless has made possible direct re-
lations between the Vatican and the whole
world, without any interior 'nce from Italy
AS if this were not enough, the Pope, if he
choose to leave the Vatican-since he is i
prisoner of his policy and not OF Italy-would
receive honors and privileges identical with
those the King receives. Moreover, since the
Pope is older than the King, if they were to
meet the Pope would pass first. Every Of
fence made against the Pope is punished
acty as if it were made against the King.
The cardinals have the same privileges as the
princes of the royal family. The ambassadors
and ministers to the Holy See receive the
same treatment as those to the King Is it
possible to do more? No, it isn't, unless one
wants to make OF Italy vassal state, thing
which no sensible person claim
This is the actual condition of the relations
between Italy and the Vatican. They are
most satisfactory. Leo XIII, when he felt
that temporal power was necessity for his
religious ministry, started an investigation
among the most faithful of the Catholic states

rem land, which would largely increase the ex-
penditures of the Vatican without affording it
any profit-the outlet to the sea would be of
no actual USE as there is no possibility of
holding port because OF the shallow waters,
and only pleasure boats could approach the
shore Finally, that strip of land would of
necessity be cut by Italian roads and railroads
going from north to south. So that from
every point of view such so-called indepen-
dent state would afford no efectual indepcn-
dence nor any greater security, and would only
be a burden for the Vatican and cause Of
continuous trouble and insecurity.
The Pope, therefore, must forcioly rely upon
the good relations between the Holy See and
Italy This is unavoidable Things would be
no different were the Pope to take the Holy
See to any other part of the world, while the
enormous prestige that comes TO the Papacy
from its existing and preaching to the world
from the chair of st. Peter would be greatly
diminished were the voice to come from
Madrid or Einsiedeln or any other city. The
Vatican needs Rome just as much as Italy
needs it.
The only solution is therefore that Pope and
King live peacefully side by side Can this
be done with full security and independence
to both? Yes. The law OF guarantees" has
regulated perfectly well these relations with
out any possibility of friction and with full
recognition of the rights and ultimate aims of
both, according to the motto Of Cavour, "A
Free Church in Free State" The indepen-
dence of the Papacy is absolute.

beneficial to the spiritual activity OF the Holy
See.
1t is this same overlooked but fundamental
fact that shuts the doors to the solution OF
the Roman question advocated by certain
Catholics, namely. the formation of an even
nlinuscule state round the Vatican, of which
the Pope should be the King. But, first of all,
it is not at the beginning Of the twentieth CEN
fury and while Europe is fighting the biggest
war in human history. for the liberation and
independence of the millions who still suffer
under foreign rule that sensible people can
seriously propose that the free citizens Of a
part of Italy-small as that part may be
become, against their own will, citizens OF a
new pontifcal state.
Some foreigners would like to see pom
-tifical state modelled after the District OF
Columbia, including besides the capital and
a small territory a free outlet to the open sea.
In this way they say. and in this way alone,
the real independence Of the Holy See would
be insured. But here again they labor under
a delusion. The peaceful development of this
state could take place only if it were at peace
with Italy. In case of conflict it is self-evdent
that the bigger nation would interfere with
the national life of the smaller while the lat
ter could not be effectively protected from
military point of view, against Italian aggres-
sion. The same thing would occur if the
pontihcal state were at war against any other
state Consequently it's independence would
be continuously threatened in the most seri-
Gus manner.
Moreover, if Italy consented to give back
to the Pope portion of Rome and a strip of
territory down to the Tyrrhenian Sea-a bar
