He's Gamest Guy in Baseball,
Forced to Bear Brunt of
Battle Alone.
HAD TO SELL PLAYERS
Otherwise He Would Have
Been Forced to Go Into the
Bankruptcy Court.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

It's a matter of history now what
the Feds did to the Baltimore Inter
national League team owned by Jack
Dunn.
Dunn has been driven out of Balti-
more, his home town, transferred his
franchise and players to Richmond
where he will attempt to recoup the
losses brought about by the outlaw
invasion of 1914.
Baltimore baseball writer's although
still friendly to "Dunnie," as he is
called, have never printed the story
of the game uphill fight Dunn made
last summer to keep from being COM
pleteIy crushed to the wall.
His savings of a life time have al
ready been swept away. The Feds
forced him out of Baltimore just
when things were beginning to look
bright and a pennant for his club vir-
tuaIIy assured.
That Dunn was able TO meet his
obligations, was really a streak of
good luck combined with excellent
judgment in selecting his players. He
was forced to sell more than half of
his 1914 team in order to keep out of
the bankruptcy court.
That he possessed players for sale
and was able to drive sharp bargains
bespeaks well for Dunns ability as a
manager and club owner.
Half of Jack Dunn's trials and trib-
ulations last year will never be told
for the simple reason that he is not
a 'suuealer'' and does not believe in
looking to the public for sympathy.

Feds Invasion a Joke.
"what do you think of the pro-
posed invasion by the Feds in New
EunlnudS

England"
why that's a joke. If the Feds
wanted a minor league they could
grab the Tri-State League where
franchises are worth almost nothing
and where ball parks are already
built.
In conclusion Dunn said: II am
leaving Baltimore with many pangs
of regret. My savings of a life time
are swept away, but thank goodness
I still have a host of friends over
here who have been square enough
to come and tell me, We like you
personally, Jack, but our sympathies
are with the Federal League. Balti-
more is big enough for a major league
ball club and to our way Of thinking
the Feds have supplied a long felt
want"

I asked.
'No, 1t is not-it is, only a fair

will find this out before many months
have elapsed. Just mark my words.

Jack Dunn single-handed has shown
himself TO be about as game as they

Talks with Jack Dunn.

By appointment | talked with Jack
Dunn over in Baltimore last Thursday
afternoon. He answered my questions
frankly, gave me an idea of condi-
tions in that city 1 little dreamed eX-
listed, and before shaking hands to say
goodbye" blurted out:
Don't print all that stun 1 have
told you, for it will make me look
like a gutter and a squealer. I'm in
the game to stick and must take the
bitter with the sweet"
1 told Dunn that l would use my
own judgment and that I believed the
fans of the country should be told
of conditions as they exist at pres
ent in Baltimore.
Our conversation verbatim follows:
.'Mr. Dunn. L came over here to
ask you a few pointed questions"
"ALl right, fire away"
"YOu are taking your Interna-
tionaI League club to Richmond
for the 1915 season. leaving the
Baltimore territory entirely to the
FedSSn
Yes; that is right"
s"Why.,
Because the Feds last year drew
the crowds. I didn't"
"Why not stick II out another
season.
Not a chance. I've got to make a
living out of baseball. l can't do it
in Baltimore under existing condI-
tions."
sTn other words, the Federal
League drove you out of your
home town, where you won one
pennant, have always had your
team up in the race and where
you have been doing business for
eight years."
Right"
s.HOw do you explain the sud
den change of heart as shown by
Baltimore fansf IL 1 remember
rightly your international League
club last year was Just as strong
when the season opened as the
Federal League team under Otto
Kuabe,"

Fiction and Reality.

1t is a simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact, as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part. for the first
time. of an intoxicated ruffian in a
certain melodrama. went to a neigh
boring tavern and intoxicated himself.
He thought that this would storm the
house. but on the contrary he was Inn
~mediately fired by the management for
a fool-and rightly.-F. II. Martin. in

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody viii Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
aussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

COUNT sERNSToRFF, GERMAN
AMBASSADOR, DEFENDS AC-
TON OF THIERiCHENS
UNDER LONDON RULE.
CARGO OF All RlCAN SHIP
DESTINED TO HOSTILE PORT
SO Long as There Was No harbor
into Which Teuton Commander
Could Take Prize He Had Right
to Destroy Vessel, Says
Ambassador.

Newport News, Va, March 15.-Five
British warships are patroiins the en-.
trance of the capes to head off any at,
tempt by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich at a
sudden sash for freedom.
Washington, March 15.-Count J,
II. Won Bernstorff, German ambassa,
dor. In discussing with state depart,
ment officials the sinking of the Amer.
lean ship William p. Frye, defended
the action of Captain T~hierichens. OF
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, contending that he act,
ed under the declaration of London,
which was the only guide he had as to
disposition of prizes.
The ambassador before going to the
state department conferred with Cap,
tain Boy-El, naval attache of the EN-.
bassy, who returned from Newport
News, where he went to hear the story
of the sinking Of the American vessel
from the commander of the Prinz
Eitel.
Germany Sends No Instructions.
Count Bernstorff did no present any
note to the state department and said
he had received no instructions from
his government. He said he called to
discuss the question informally and to
learn what was the view OF the United
States.
In defending the action of Comman-
der Thierichens, the ambassador con
tended that when the officer left Using.
tau at the outbreak of the war last
August, he had nothing to follow but
the declaration of London in deciding
what to do with vessels he might seize.
For that reason the ambassador ar.
gued, he had a right to sink the Frye
as its cargo OF wheat IA consigned
to order" and destined to a fortified
port of the enemy. So long as there
was no port in which he could take
his prize, he had n right, the ambas,
sador Contended, to destroy not only
the cargo, but the vessel itself.
Regards Judicial Nicetics.
Furthermore, the ambassador argued
that the commander of the PrinZa Eitel,
when ne sank the Frye, did o know
lldl q bGIlIdH PRIZE court Oh aug. u
had held that the mere fact that a
merchant ship was bound for an en-
envy port was not sufficient proof that
its cargo IA destined for the enemy.
The case of the Frye, however. the
ambassador sad, would have to be set
tied in accordance with international
Law because of the present status of
the declaration OF London.
I'VE do not intend" he said, ito
disregard any OF the judicial niceties
in the case"
U. S. To Decide Upon Course.
The full story of how the American
sailing ship William p. Frye was sunk
in the south Atlantic with it's cargo of
wheat by the German commerce raid.

laid before the American government
by the Frye's commander, Captain II.

Upon Captain Kishne's formal state.

officials, the United States viii decide
upon its course, which probably will
be a demand for an expression of re-
greet from Germany and payment for
