new YORK, wet grounds.
There are hot rumors of some sort
of readjustment in baseball lines,
with few Federal owners being al
lowed to buy into the National league
and others being taken care of in the
larger minors. Phil Ball, owner of
the St. Louis Feds, is said to have an
option on the St. Louis Cardinals, but
all the angles of the deal have not
been fixed up.
Something may be due to happen.
We don't see how it will make much
difference to the fans, except that
they will be relieved of this everlast-
ing talk about court proceedings, etc.
But when Jack Fourier, Wilbur
Good, Bob Fisher and Fred Beck of
our three local big league teams are
slamming home runs and triples in
sweet profusion, it is pretty hard to
become stirred up over the troubles
of the magnates. They have dug a
pit for themselves and should
emerge through their own efforts.
They did not take the fans into their
confidence, and the fans are resent
ing it through absence from the box
office.
Let them settle their own differ
ences and we'll go out and watch the
athletes. Baseball is played on a
grass-covered diamond and not over
a lawyers table or in the booth of a
cafe.
Jack Fourier, WeIl-known French
man, cannot be kept out of the Sox
lineup, no matter how atrocious his
fielding may be at this early stage Of

NAVAL CONSTRUCTORS
 QUIT UNCLE SAM
Daniels Allows Ferguson and Otterson to Accept Higher salaricd Jobs
 With Private Concerns.

Washington, July l5.--SecretaJy Daniels yesterday accepted the resig- nations of Naval Constructors willia;n B. Ferguson and John E. Otterson. both of whom are said to have been offered positions with private ship building companies at salaries far ex- ceeding their pay as officers in the navy. n54
 Legal experts of the navy hold that the president may his dis cretion in -.ecepting or rejecting res- ignations any officers but Mir. Daniels decided that Constructors Ferguson and Otterson shoulo' be per mitted to l~-.sc the service becauaa- they had .---Ied asrS ments to serve at least eight years entered into when they were given special educa- ton at government expense after fin- ishing their course at Annapolis
 In accepting the resignations of two army ordnance experts, Secretary Gar rison said he believed the officers could better serve the nation by aid- ing in the development of private gun and munitions plants. Secretary Dane ieis explained, however, that this view
 
 with the cases of the two constructors.
 At the time these officers signed their agreements" MT. Daniels said. it had been the uniform custom u4 the department to accept rcsisnations whenever tendered. Acting for the president, I therefore accepted theae resignations. not because 1t is recok- nized that the agreement forms any binding contract which entities an of- ficer to resign at any time, but be- cause by virtue of this agreement. suggested by the department, and formal custom, I hesitsted to adopt n fixed policy contrary Co long cstab- ' hshed practice. I am strongly of the opinion that 1t cannot be legally main tained that any officer who voiunta- rily accepts a CO.,. in the navy has the legal right to demand the lc- ceptance of his resignation at his pleasure.
 In this connection Attorney Gen eral Gregory said yesterday that for the present he would not render any opinion to the war department con- cerning the right Of an officer to re. sign. The request for an opinion was based on the case of Lieut.. Col Hor- ney one If those whose resignations were accepted yesterday by Secretary Garrison. The attorney general docs not give opinions on most questions unless there is specihc request, SO until another casc in point arises noas will be rendered. It has been under stood that MT. Gregory holds the president has discretionary powers in , dealing with resignatons
