forbidden to disclose to any person,
except the depositor, the amount of
any deposits; that Withdrawals may
be made without previous notice;
and that the Government guarantees
to repay all deposits on demand with
accrued interest
The leaflet will soon be printed in
% foreign languages for distribu-
ton through local post offices. The
foreign-born citizen has taken very
kindly to postal savings, and litera-
ture in his own language will be of
great assistance to him. In a recent
article, Postmaster General Burleson
commented on the foreign-born de-
positor as follows:
Upwards of 100000 depositors
now have accounts in the Postal Saw
ings System and they represent every
nationality on the earth. They also
represent almost every known oc-
cupation-professio men, theatre
cal people. mechanics. laborers fish
ermen, pack peddlers, etc. But the
majority are wage-earners, and of
this class the foreign-born largely
predominant. A census of deposit
ors taken by the Post Office Depart
ment shows that approximately 40
per cent (200,000) of the depositors
are foreign-born citizens and they
own more than so per cent of the
deposits splendid evidence of the
confidence of our newly acquired cit
liens in the ability and good faith of
their adopted country to fulfill it's
obligations"
Postal Savings receipts have
broken all records the past year
During the eight months prior to
April list there was a net gain in de-
posts of $19,0OO,OOO, as against a
gain of sS,0OO,OOO for the same
months the year before Thousands
of new accounts have been opened
and the millions made up largely of
hidden savings have been turned
back into the channels of trade Just
at time when there was pressing
demand for every dollar.

900 Salary-No Figures
Announced Yet

NEW YORK, Dec 15-Pat Moran
signd thr-year contract to manage
the Phllies this afternoon. The terms
were not announced, but it is said that
the salary is $4,000 a year. Moran
would not discuss the figures, but Pres

Peace plans with the Federals are like
ly to hit a snag when II comes time to
purchase interests in National League
ball clubs. 1t Is said that Britton. of
St Louis, and Taft, who owns the Chi
cago club, have placed n prolSbtive
price upon their holdings. 1t is believed
that the same condition prevails in the
American League.
While peace rumors are flying thick
and fast and the magnates are awaiting
news from Barney Dreyfuss' trip to Chi
cago, where he Is comforting with the
American League owners, there is a wild
scramble for the stars in the third or
ganization. Pat Moran is said to be after
the services of Lee Magee, and others
are in the market
Players who only broke reserve clauses

Gilmore May Be Made
President of Chicago
Cubs if Details Can
Be Properly Settled

the stock in the Chicago Cubs will be
turned over TO Charles weeghman and
William Walker, hackers Of the Chicago
Feds weeghmann and Walker want
President Gilmore. Of the Feds, to be
made head Of the Cubs but whether Gill
more will accept or be agreed upon by
organized ball is not known. This un-
certainty is due TO the animoslty Ban
johnson holds against the Feds great
leader.
Phil Ball principal hacker of the ST.
Louis Feds, has received an excellent
proposition from Mr.. and Mrs Schuyler
=. Britton, owners OF the National League
club, which will permit him to buy a
large interest in that club, and II is be-
lleved that he may possibly be able 10
buy the franchise outright II negotia-
tlons now pending are put through.
The main discussion this morning was
what would become of the Federal
League players who jumped organized
ball. Some time ago the announcement
was made that the National and Ameri-
can Leagues would not permit any of
these Jumpers to return to the major
leagues. AT this time the Feds declared
that they would not consida az any pcace
plans which would not take all OF their
players who were considered uf major
league calibre.
II is hard to see how organized ball
forces can hope to bar men like Benny
Kauff, Dave Davenport, Ed Rousch and
other youngsters who merely jumped re-
serve clauses, when final settlement is
made. There is not enough available
material for three hlgh-class leagues un-
less the jumpers are taken in as it Is
planned to make them exempt from the
draft.
Ii was said today that an effort was
being made to get Billy Evans, American
League umpire, to manage one of the
International League teams after the con-
solidation, but one magnate declared that
this was out of the question because
Evans had been virtually agreed upon
as the new manager of the Cleveland
Americans to replace Lee Fohl.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-12-15

willingness to accept the proposition is
not known. 1t is generally believed that
the International League circuit is to be
changed so that half the magnates will be
taken care of in Barrows League, while
the rest will buy into organized ball.
The National League magnates have
consented to the purchasing of stock in
three clubs by Federal League owners
and the American League will allow two
others TO buy the controlling interest The
National League clubs which are TO have
Federal Deaguers in control are the Car
dlnals and Cubs, while Edward Gwinner
will be allowed to purchase an interest
In the Pirates, although Barney Dreyfuss
will still hold the controlling interest.
Just what will become of President
Gilmore is not known, as apparently no
arrangements have been made to take
care of this wonderful promoter, who
made the Federal League possible. Gil
more will be invaluable to organized ball,
but his last-minute failure to comply
with the request of other magnates in
his league, who desired a settlement Is
said to have placed him I'm a bad light
with the magnates of both factions.

FRANK BAKERS SALE
MAIN CHICAGO TOPIC
American League Magnates
Gather for Their An
nual Meeting

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Disposal of Home
run" Baker and waiting for peace bull
letins from New York were the main
events carded for today's meeting of the
American League. President B. B.
Johnson was to meet the Executive Com
mlttee at noon and this afternoon was to
see the first regular session.
Arrival of Connie Mack with Colonel
Shibe, of the Athletics, preceded by an
apparently authentic report that they
were ready to make deal for the dis
posal of Baker led to n belief that the
''Home-run King" would be sold to the
highest bidder.
A deal between the White Sox and the
ST. LOUIS Browns has apparently fallen
through. In return for Schalk, Scott and
Fournier Manager Rowland asked for
Pratt, Slsler. Koob. Shotton and Austin,
Manager Hedges said why don't you
ask me 70 throw in the grandstand?"
