SPORTING REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN

written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, May 12.-When Pres
ident James F. Gaffney, of the ia
nous champion Boston Braves refus-
ed to allow his club to pay fines of
$50 and s25 imposed by President
Tener on Gowdy and Tyler for abus-
ing an umpire he set new record in
professional baseball that fans all
over the country will heartily ap-
prove.
The public, who in the last analysis
pays for everything connected with
the game-including fines heretofore
paid by the clubs when one Of their
players was taxed for misbehavior-
is getting tired Of the rough stuff on
the diamond.
President Gaffney is the first one
to stick by the new president Of the
National league in his endeavor to
make baseball as clean as possible.
And it is next TO impossible to have
decent sport when club presidents
wink at their players capers on the
field by paying all fines imposed on
them.
Sometimes when fines are paid by
the clubs the money is deducted from
the players salary, but many clubs
conveniently forget to subtract the
fine money on pay day. This has
practically given players a license to
set up their own rules Of conduct on
the ball field, for when the money
does not come out Of his pocket the
average player don't care who he
talks 70.

proper to make it public. The notes

Eaitted to Berlin tonight or Thursday.
1t is believed these will be firm and
fully meet the country's expectations.
The proposed Atlantic fleet cruise
through Panama has been abandoned,
but it is denied this has any con-
nection with the war situation.
President Wilson's hopeful message
will be expressed to present strong
case, as Germany will admit herself
in the wrong.

BALL BEARINGS ARE
STILL IMPORTED

Fears that the imports of ball bear
ings would completely cease because
of the war, appear to have been
groundless. Despite the embargo
placed by the German government up
on bearings exports, the quantity and
value of these necessities for motor
cars have not been less in the seven
months ended January 31st, 1915,
than in the same period ended Janu-
ary 31st, 1914. Most of the ship
ments now come from Italy and Swe-
den.

RIGGS BANK CASE.
United Press.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May H.
The suit of the Riggs National bank
to enjoin the comptroller of the cur
rency from Withholding $4,000 inter-
est on government bonds as penalty
for alleged violation of certain bank
ing regulations, and charging Comp
troller Williams and Secretary Nc
Adoo with conspiracy to wreck the
bank, came up before Judge McCoy
of the district supreme court this
morning. The case, now one month
old, has taken on national import
ance in the public mind, partly be-
cause of the persons involved and be-
cause it is believed it will open up
important questions involving govern
mental jurisdiction over banks. big
gest thing since Jackson's fight with
the banks is one way it is expressed.
The manner in which the admins
tration regards the litigation is shown
by the fact that Samuel Untermyer
and Louis ID. Brandeis has been en-
ployed to assist the attorney generals
office in defending the treasury Off
cials-and possibly in carrying fur
ther the charges openly made since
the suit began, against he bank by
Comptroller Williams. President Will
son and his cabinet are known to have
considered the case in cabinet meet

tional league on the fine paying prop
osition is equally welcome by the base
ball public as it is by umpires who
are tired of being nagged. And in
taking firm attitude towards this
evil the league shows that it has the
best interests of the game at heart,
for nothing disgusts the fan as un-
warranted kicking against an UNI
pire's decision. Players seem to for
get that the business of the umpire
is to render a decision, not to argue
over it.
NOT chat tie nap.se is always
right. But when he is wrong he is
entitled to u gentleman's argument in
stead of the usual rough stuff play
ers are fond Of springing. And if the
player could see the play as well as
the umpire there would be no need
of an umpire. So, as long as the
managers Of the league think an UNI
pire's services necessary it is just as
well to let him do his work.
Evidently the managers are seeing
it this way and the sooner the players
DO the better for all concerned. When
players have to pay their own fines
they will think twice before they
speak so quickly.

STRIKING FACTS ABOUT ALASKA
(Leslie's)

Statistics are tiresome. Most per- sons will not read them, and most who do speedily forget their signifi- canoe. But every reader can remember a few striking facts about Alaska, uni que, incomparable, unequaled, unex- celled. It is magnificent in it's isola- ton. It has an area of 600,000 square miles, one -fifths the size of the United States, which means that it will make fourteen New Yorks and nearly 500 Rhode Islands. It cost Uncle Sam $7,20O,0 900 forty eight years ago, or less than cents an acre. It has paid for itself twenty times and more in the output of its fisheries. Its gold mines this year will produce more than three times what Alaska cost us. Alaska fornia and more copper than Michigan and Arizona, more coal than Pennsyl- vania, and is willing to prove it if the government will cut the red tape re- strictions of nonsnsical conservation and let capital do it's work. as it has done 1t with the gold and copper mines and the fish industry. It's great cattle ranges remain untouched, and most of them are free to the home- steader. Wealth? Alaska will roll in 1 it long before the present century ap- breaches it's close. Already Fairbanks away up in the interior 500 miles from the coast. is getting ready to celebrate the semi centennial of Alaska's pur- chase, two years hence. Get ready now to go.

WAR ORDERS A TRANSIENT BOOM
(Leslie's


 The country needs something besides war orders to put prosperity on it's feet. War orders will give us a big balance of trade, but this balance will be big only unti lthe war ceases. If peace should come sooner than we expect and able bodied foreign workmen re- turn at once to their looms and their forges, this country would have to meet increasing competition from the manufacturers abroad intensified by the reduced tariff on foreign goods. + the war should continue for two or three years We shall have time to re- wise our tariff and to replace the duty on sugar which was removed, despite of Louisiana and the beet sugar grow CTS of the west and northwest. The growers of citrus fruits In California and Florida, the producers of wool in 9eXas and workmen in the iron fac tories and mills north and souti will
 
 all be heard from when the products of foreien firms and factories begin to crowd our products harder.
 l hope that he bread line and the bundle day have had their brief ex- istence and from this time forward will be only a memory. Give the American worker work. FIJI his pay envelope and his dinner pail, let him earn his money and he will spend it and every line of trade will be benefited. You cannot do this unless at the same time you give capital an opportunity to earn d profit sufficient to justify it's invest ment in new enterprise and its in creased investment in establishing t1- dustries.

CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
(NeW York Sun.)

MT. Gisaku Takikawa, vice president of the Kobe chamber of commerce, reveals himself as dlstressingly ignor- ant of the duties of American states lnanship when he says:
 "ln Japan we have liked the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. We have considered it's dealing always fair and above suspicion. That this important concern should be forced out of busi- ness by American legislation, winch rom Japanese viewpoint at least might be expected to encourage and foster a national project, is something that an Oriental mlnd cannot quite com prehend.
 Ills quaint Japanese notion that American legislation might be eX pected to encourage and foster a na )tional project" will arouse unrestralned nilarity among our lawmakers, who nnow that their first duty is to block and obstruct the progress of industry land to penalize success. His failure to comprehend the ideals our legisla- COTS struggle to enforce will convince them again of the immeasurable su- perority of the west as compared with the east.

THE GERMAN VIEW.
Seattle Star.)


 In the newspaper revelations of the correspondence of German agents in this country with the German govern ment and the activities of the Ger man secret service, we find the follow ing passage from Herr Von Waetzoldt, German trade representative In the United States, in a letter to his govern ment:
 'The large war orders. as the pro- fessional journals also print, have be- come the great means of saving Am erican business institutions from idle ness and financial ruin, this is not only true of the average and smaller inti- tutions, but also of the larger ones."
 Every business man and intelligent laborer knows that Herr Won Waez- holdt's statement is true.
 Therefore, the German govrnment and it's friends In this coun- try, when they ask us to stop the eXportation of war supplies are asking us to choose "idleness and financia ruin'' in the place of the present i'm provement in business conditions

They ask us to cease a trade which is admittedly legal, in which Germany has always freely engaged in time of war; and the stoppage of which would bring down on us the enmity of the allies, and in addition to choose idleness and financial ruin" in place of business improvement.
 They ask good deal 1t may be we'll to inquire whether Germany or Aus tria would do as much for us whether any nation ever did as much for any other nation; and whether any nation ought to be expected to do such a thing.
 It is safe to say that the smart Ger man business man would, in his secret heart, call us fools if we did it.
