Germany Advised
To COnciiidfe by

BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN.

(Stof Correspondent United Press)
WASHINGTON. May 1S.-The
German government has been adj
vised to conciliate the United States.
Despite denials for public con
sumption" Il was learned definitely
today that Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, and Dr. Con
stantin T. Dumba. the Austrian am
bassador. have recommended to
their home governments that eN.
treme concessions should be made
TO America at this time. They have
reported that the presidents de-
mands are endorsed by the entire
people and have pointed out that
compliance with them would do
more to renew American sympathy
for Germany than all other efforts
fathered from Berlin since the war
started. In addition. they have said
there is a growing feeling OF irrita-
tiOn against British methods, which
should be taken advantage OF now.
and can only benefit Germany n the
latter proves that Americas wishes
have great weight In Berlin.
whether or not these recommen-
dations will be effective Is not
known Past records. some officials
suggest. would indicate that the rec
concentrations Of ambassadors re-
ccfved scant consideration. With
italy almost certainly entering the
war. however. thus cutting on an
other avenue into Germany. others
think II possible the suggestions OF
experienced diplomats, such as
Count Bernstorff and DR.. Dumba,
may have more weight than usual
Meanwhile, there Is n growing ir'
ritation In German circles here over

This time the meeting will be oil more
than usual Importance because OF the de-
cision of the Philadelphia Public High

BASEBALL CLUBS
LOSE MONEY in
SEASON OF 1915
Three Teams in American
and Four in National
League Show Profit
PHILL1ES CLEAR $4,000

There are many doubling Thomases-not
meaning Ira-who are so firmly In
trenched In the belief that big dividends
and baseball moguls nre synonymous
that not even cold, brutal figures can
change their ideas on the subject. Dur
ing the last four or Ave years baseball
owners have come to look upon a sea-
sons profit Of $1,000 as a monument to
their business genius.
tnqucstionablv there has boon a de-
cline In the puhlc's interest IN baseball
but tho high salaries OF the players have
hecn largely responsible for the many
deficits in the cof1crs Of the various
clubs. ''s' AEsal
In spite Of the fine race in the National
League this year, the Eastern clubs alone
showed a balance on the right side OF the
ledger Counting their share in the
worlds series, the Phillcs only cleared
approximately $4,000 It s estimated that
If the Philics had won the pennant In
1905 or 1909 the owners would have rcal-
lied over S2oO.OO0. This year the pills
had the beet home season since they were
organized. but they failed to draw on
the road
Counting the $4,000 that the New York
Giants received from the Yankees for
rental of the Polo Grounds, the owners
made about 100000 this year. The Brook
lyn club. for the first time in several
years, made moncy-but not much. Eb-
bets is said TO have profited to the extent
OF SO 600. The other club to make money
i'm the National League was the Boston
Braves. About $1,000 was their profit
for a season. In which they were always
in the running for the pennant
Up in the Fen, Lannin made 100000
including his share of the worlds series
money but that figure does not include
many extra expenses which he incurred
as the result of being in the series. The
Cubs split even. while Cincinnati, St
Louis and Pittsburgh lost money csti-
mated variously between $4,000 and $40, 600
Conditions were reversed i'll the Ameri-
can League With the exception of the
Red Sox, the Western clubs did much
better than those in the East The Ath-
lctIcs lost about $4,000, although Connie
Mack received that amount from the sale
of Eddie Collins alone, Washington lost

$4,000 md S6O,O Cleveland is $50, 600
poorer ns the result Of the 1915 season.
and the st. Louis Browns were stunE
for $4,000.
The earnings of the Detroit Tigers will
probably reach $4,000 when all the re-
turns are in. Charley COmiSkcy had IL
fairly good year, finishing about S35 900
ahead OF the game on the actual season
but that figure does not include the
amount he gave Mack for Collins nor
that which he paid Cleveland for Joe
Jackson.

Harvard has not displayed the form that

Penn is proud of the entire soccer team.
Nassau worked bit more brilliantly

effort to capture Saturdays game, which
is to be for the championship of the 18th
