record made. 1t also beat Harvard's

mates OF St Louis who attended the
conference OF baseball men in Chicago
yesterday we're a unit today in declar-
ing that no peace in the baseball war
Is in sight.
There is nothing in this peace talk"

ference. II have had no discussion re-
garding any plan by which l want to
become owner of the St, Louis Ameri-

President Hedges of the St. Louis
Americans. said: In my opinion there
will be no peace until one of the war
ring leagues blows. No peace plans
were discussed at the Chicago meeting.
No offer was made for the st. Louis
Americans. and one of the most foolish
things printed was the story that Ban
Johnson. myself, or any other American
League man had any conversation with
Mr.. Ball that concerned the St. Louis

Men Get Excited
Over Baseball Game
Arguments Lead to Bets, and
Bets Lead to Arguments

While Washington's first game in
New York. on Thursday last. was being
shown on local scoreboard, the writer
stood among the crowd that was ap-
plauding Eddie Foster as he pasted out
those four beautiful hits.
Now a bunch of men may all be root
ing for the home team to win, but its
dollars to doughnuts that they can't
watch a game through without getting
into some kind of an argument.
There were four in this bunch They
were all good fellows and every one
within hearing was wearing a smile be-
cause of their witty remarks at one
another's expense.
Finally the argument started. A said
that Washington would win the pennant.
was not quite so optimistic, but de-
clared they would certainly be a. good al
second. C and D gave them the laugh
and told them it would be the Same old
story-up with the leaders for q while.
and then back in the second division.
A and B held up the records for the
last three years and c and D made
remarks about the twenty-five seasons
previous to that time.
Good sports will always back their
judgment, so the argument led to bets
as to whether Washington would finish
as good as third in the race. A bot with
c, and b bet with D. The losers were
to buv the winners each a suit Of
clothes.
Then the bet led to another argu-
ment. They all needed new spring suits.
and the question was-how to have
them now and make the other fellow
pay? Only two of them could win, and
no one would know which two until the
end of the season.
There was no question about who
should make the suits. They had all
seen a mutual friend who was wearing
one of the "Coronet' Blue Serges de-
signed by that artist of national repu-
tation. Mr.. E. F. Mudd. He has been so
long with M stein & Co.. at Eighth and
F streets. that they headed for STEMS
the minute the game was over.
1t didn't take Stein long to find a So
luton of their problems He Just meas
| ured all four and told them the suits
would be ready in week. 1t was dead
against the rules of the establishment.
but he was game enough to wait for his
money When the bets were decided the
losers could come in and pay the bills.
Now II you see four fellows watching
the scoreboard. in blue serges that look
like twenty-five dollars just take a
good look and see what kind of value
stein is giving men for sl475.-Advt.

their own shell been available they

lures in England as being dangerous
to crowned heads and monarchies. If
it is the voice of the people that is

to echo this voice-then the twilight
of the kings" is near at hand.
The magazine, both pietorially and
in editorial comment, covers the pre-
vious months events, and makes an
other chapter of the most fascinating
continued story ever written. The
American cartoonists IN the blockade
situation have again found a subject
for their pens, and many striking de-
signs, introducing the rattlesnake en-
blem and the shades Of the Maine, give
somewhat threatening aspect to
their work. Other cartoons show the
gaunt wolf Of starvation, enlisted by
the billigerents as an ally, or portray
the horrors of the submarine and Yep
pelin. The tragedy of the Jews in
Poland is described in a series of car
toons from a New York Jewish daily
How the cartoonists view the doom Of
Constantinople is portrayed IN an.
other series. Cartoons from England
France, and Germany give a clear
idea of just what these nations thinI
about each other. Among the speeia
articles is one by James Melvin Lee
of New York University, dealing Will

stations, announced last week, being
1850 of the current rates on boxed
fruit of so pounds, which is equival-
ent to the same rate il. cents per loo

The league also announces q reduc-
ton of 5 cents per crate in the rate
on celery from Florida to Colorado

duction, which is equivalent to $50
per car, became effective on March 1.

An American correspondent gives
graphic description of the fighting
last December on the Bzura, river
in Poland that the Germans tried to
cross in order to reach Warsaw. The
Bzura is a little river, at the point of
fighting about fifty yards wide and
armpit deep. Every night for three
nights in succession the Germans tried
to cross. They would advance in solid
columns, breaking the ice as they
reached the rivers edge, struggling
thru the water to the other bank and
some times to within half a dozen
yards of the Russian trenches. In
their three nights of attack they
made eleven charges, and every night
the river was choled with their dead
Good useful men were these German
troops, clerks, mechanics and farmers
and their useless slaughter was an
] irreparable loss to their country and

The sentiment expressed by this ut

things Senator Fletcher has right to
complain Of. The Star supported Mr..
Fletcher as strenuously as any paper

that he owes it anything. It support

comments and conjectures on the crop
situation and it caused considerable
