As to Tail Enders.

Why is it that a tail-end team-and a
tail-ender alone-can bust winning
streaks?

cinch for the Braves. whereupon the

Gregg Boosts Sox Stock.

The Red Sox rooters' pennant hopes
have scared since Vean Gregg. the port
side twirler, has shown signs Of old
time form. 1t was feared that Greeg's
arm was useless. Early in the season II
failed to respond to the call for duty,
and because Gregg was one Of the four
twirlers upon whom the Red Sox de-
pended the Red Sox outlook was gloomy
But Gregg finally announced he was
ready to work-he said his arm was In
old-time form. Manager Carrigan gave
him chance-and Gregg made good. He
won the first three games he pitched and

PIRATES BEAR WATCHING,
Pittsburgh Club Has Been Comins
Fast Since June.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Those Piratical
persons from Pittsburgh will bear watch
ing. They aren't playing the class of
baseball that would have won a pennant
in years gone by. But this is 1915 when
it seems highly probable that a 800 ball
club will grab the National League mus
lin.
The Pirates started slowly-and poorly
this year. 1t was mid-June before they
began playing the brand of ball of which
they are capable. Since then they have
been moving forward. slowly, of course
but they have been moving. That's the
main object. And it begins to look as

Washington, Dec. II. - Emperor
William has formally recalled Captain
Karl Boyd, naval attache. and Cap.
tain Franz Won Papen military alta
che, Of the German Embassy, in ac-
United States Government. upon the
stated reason that they were no long
er acceptable" to the American au-
thOrities.
The State Department has been ask
ed by the Kaiser to obtain safe con-
ducts for the return of the attaches
TO Germany and for the safe passage
of their successors here.
With the case of the attaches set
tied, except for the arranging of the
safe conducts, the United States is
prepared to continue negotiations with
Germany looking toward settlement
OF the Lusitania controversy. The
negotiations, it was said, would prob
ably be resumed at an early date.
Secretary Lansing is said to be pre-
pared to urge an early settlement.
A cipher dispatch received by the
German Embassy from Berlin an
nOunced the recall of the attaches.
and Count Won Bernstorn called at the
State Department to communicate
Germany's decision. Later Secretary
Lansing issued this statement:
The German Ambassador has in
formed me that the German Emperor
has been pleased to recall CAPTAIN
Won Papen and Captain Boyd in
compliance with the wishes of the
United States Government
1t was necessary for the request for
the recall to be communicated to the
Kaiser. because German naval and
military attaches are appointed by the
Military and Naval Cabinet. of which
the Emperor is the head, and can
not be appointed or removed without
his sanction.
The request for safe conduct for the
recalled attaches was sent to the
British, French, Russian and Italian
embassies. The understanding here
is that they will be granted. The gov
ernments of the Allies, however. are
known to regard as entirely different
the propositions Of granting safe CON
duct TO any successors to CAPTAINS
Won Papen and Boy-Ed whom Ger
many might wish to send to the
United States.

CONVENTION AT ST. LOUIS
Next Democratic National Convention
Will Meet ~ Ct nnie I,,,n Il 1n1c

Next Democratic National Convention
Will Meet at ST. Louis. June "a. 1916
Washington. Dec. S.-St. Louis won
the National Democratic convention
fight easily. The victory in one re-
spect was epochal 1t was the first
fight within the committee which
Roger Sullivan of Chicago has lost in
years.
BY unanimous agreement the con-
vention of 1916 will be held in the
Missouri Metropolis beginning We'd,
nesday, June IA, at noon. The Demo
cratic National Committee named the
convention city and adopted resolu-
tons calling for the denomination and
reelection Of Woodrow Wilson as the
trusted leader of national Democracy.
The sessions of the convention will
be held at the Coliseum, which has
a seating capacity of between 10000
and 10000 and occupies a city block.
Chicago and Dallas contested with
st. Louis for the honor of the CON
vention but St Louis easily led from
the start, and won on the second bal
lot. When the trend of the voting
was seen Texas moved that the choice
OF st. Louis be made unanimous. Dali
las held second on the first ballot.
but was displaced by Chicago on the
second rollcalL
The result OF the first ballot was:
St. Louis, 25; Dallas, IA; Chicago. 10.
In the second ballot the vote was: st.
Louis, IS; Chicago. Is; Dallas, 9. The
majority for ST Louis was gained on
this ballot when John T. McGraw
arose near the end of the call and
changed West Virginias vote from
Chicago to the Missouri city. Then
the choice was made unanimous.
1t has been customary heretofore
for national conventions to begin work
on Tuesday. The fact that Tuesday
fell on the thirteenth next year nav
have had something to do with the
determination of the Democratic COM
mittee TO begin the proceedings a day
later The official explanation, how
ever, was to the effect that the con.
vention would not require more than
three or four days to complete its
work and it would not be too late in
the week to start on Wednesday.
Chicago, Dallas and ST. Louis were
backed by the proffer of 100000 to
defray the expenses of the political
gathering. st. Louis, however had the
real cash, while the others were on
paper.
The adoption of a resolution by the
committee calling on Mr.. Wilson to
run again was, a most unusual pro.
ceeding. This is interpreted as con.
elusive that the President is to be
candidate to succeed himself. It was
demonstrated that the Wilson men
were in control of the committee, and
they probably would not have passed
the resolution without learning the
Presidents wishes.
