FATE Of DUNN'S CLUB
HANGING IN BALANCE
Baltimore Franchise to Be Trans.
ferred to Richmond or Elm
mated by League.

BALTIMORE. Nd, January 4.-Of the
many perplexing problems which have
faced President Edward Grant Barrow
Of the International League since the
inception Of the Federals, probably the
most serious comes up for solution to-
morrow. 1t will decide the fate of
Jack Dunn's Orioles, who are to be
transferred to Richmond, or elimi-
mated from the big minor entirely.
Should the latter course be pursued. it
will mean that the International will
lose much of its power by being cut
down to a siX-club circuit to serve
as an exclusive farm for American and
National League teams.
There has been much discussion as
to the exact course which President
Barrow Is to follow in straiehtenins 2
out the muddle. A meeting has been
called for tomorrow at Richmond. al
the Birds will meet Jack Dunn and
make report on their gathering with
magnates of the Virginia League. Club
owners of the smaller league are
strenuously opposed to the shifting of
the Orioles to Richmond, as that citv
practically supports their circuit. II
they refuse to surrender, the national
commission possibly may reouisition
the city and pay the usual price in
such cases to the remaining clubs.
Where Feds Figure.
In the event of success in transfer
ring the Orioles to Richmond, anothe,
hitch Is likely to rise. It is said tina,
, without the Virginia metropolis tn.
Virginia League would be unable tf
| operate, which would mean its dis.
bandment. If this should occur severa
| of the Virginia League magnates have
openly stated that they would disre
gard the national commission, retair
| the Federal League.
The Jersey City franchise is giving
Barrow just as much trouble as thai
owned by Dunn. Skeeterville Is a deat
one as class AA proposition, and mus
| be supplanted this year. The talk ha,
| been that Syracuse will take the plac,
| of Jersey City, but here another hitcl
| has cropped up. The affairs of tn,
| Syracuse New York State League
| club are in litigation and in such bat
loser as the Skeeters to that village
might entail an outlay far too grea
| for the risk involved.
In Touch With Ban.
| 1t is continually reported that tn,
International Is on the verge of a gen

been In very close touch with Bal
Johnson the last few days in an effor

There is possibility of the franchise
of the circuit all passing into the hand

organization would be continued as ;
farm for the surplus talent that will
have to be cut adrift by the 1st O
May. AS 1t is. with the minor leaeu

a study OF National League fielding
records shows that Pitcher Babe Adams
of the Pirates has made but two errors
in four seasons. He had one misplay
in forty-six chances in 1911. In 1912
he handled thirty-eight chances with
out a skip. In. 1913 he had eighty-five
chances and slipped up on one, though
it really wasn't a chance, as he made a
bad throw in an attempt to catch a
base runner mapping at first. In 1914
he handled seventy-five chances with
out a slip.

The anti-suffrage voting appears ! from the returns thus far given +o nave been the strongest in PennsvI- vania where the ratio is roughly esti- mated as high as 3 to l. Massa- chusetts appears to have been next with ratio of about to 1. while New York state, as had been ex- pected from the fact that the cam paIgn had been Waged so strongly there had the closest ratio of about four to three
 Notwithstanding the heavy anti suffrage majorities, suffrage leaders claim to see in the retErns some req sons for jubilation because il was realized that the states where their cause was on trial today were con- sldered conservative strongholds and While voting for the first time on the question, they still showed the win nlng over of many hundred thousands of men in all three states to the vo- men suffrage idea. Statements by the suffrage leaders were uniformly to the effect that the results were encouraging enough to indicate that there would be no abolishment of the ballot.
 One general phase of the voting is that the anti-suffrage ratios were quite as strong in the large cities, where the suffragists naturally cen tered their campaigns as in the rural districts where there was less cam paign activity
 New York city with only 161 dis tricts missing out of 2079 districts gave 302, ,233 against suffrage as com pared with 212,4S6 for the amend ment at Buffalo, the second largest city in New York state, Rochester, Albany, Troy and a majority of the other cities of the state went against suffrage by unQuestiOnable majorities. Ithaca. Niagara Falls and Jamestown. were the only conspicuous exceptions gists showed overwhelming strength, while in Philadelphia the ratio in most of the election districts first heard from indicated q vote of ten to one in opposition to giving women the vote.
 In detail the latest figures at o'clock this morning from the three states were:
 New York-Returns from fO09 cleo tion districts out of 5713 in the entire state give. yes 406,S77; no 554476
 Massachusetts-With only Thirty election precincts missing gives, yes 147.260; no 2707SS

LONDON. Nov. 2.-Premier As quith's speech in the house today on the policy and plans of Great Britain, concerning which he did not disclose much more than already was known, moropolizes the attention of Europe tonight and the fighting. although it has been severe on some of the fronts is receiving little thought
 The Austro- Germans and BIlgar- ians continue their advance in Serbia and are daily drawing closer to Nish making the position of the Serbian army in the north more pTecarious. It is believed here, however, that the Serbians will be able to withdraw to the mountains and resist the invaders until the assistance which the entente powers have promised draws some of the pressure from them

 On the western front, except for some fighting in Champagne there is little or nothing doing. but on the eastern front at least three or four big battles are in progress.
 The Germans continue efforts to ap- preach Riga from the west, the Rus sians are attacking west of Dvinsk and among the lakes south Of that city, while attacks and counter attacks are almost continuous on the Styr river in Volhynia and along the Stripa in Cfalicia. Both sides are claiming the advantage.
 The offensive of the Italians against the Austrians also continues, al though Vienna reports that it is meet ing with no success.

Premier Asquith expressed optimism that Lord Derby's scheme for recruit ing would stand, and said he was op- posed to compulsion because it would endarger national unity but was ready to adopt some form of compulsion if the voluntary enlistment system failed.
 Sir Edward Carson Replies
 Sir Edward Carson, who recently resigned from the office of attorney general in the cabinet. initiated a discussion on MT. Asquith's state ments. He said he would not have resigned if the premier had given sufficient information to the public on matters upon which they showed anxiety and after fifteen months of war, he thought it only right that there should be free debate in the house.
 The present position, he declared was one of grave peril There was nothing to be ganied by minimizing danger, and he could assure the pre- mier that the desire for discussion was not in any way to minimie the main objects of the war It was Q symbol of the growing detention of the house and that everything that could be done should be done to bring the war to a satisfactory con- clusion at the earliest possible mo- ment
 We have Tad an ever widening theater of war" he said, which in the east is threatening the very vil- lages of our empire. The Germans are in Belgium and part of France and Poland and are now threatening our gallant ally. Serbia. what the house and country are really anxious about is whether our resources in men and material are being used to the best advantage: whether what have appeared to be grave miscalcu- lations could have been avovided and, above all, whether the provisions of the government for carrying on the war is the most adequate and most effective which we can devise

In Massachusetts also the suffrage amendment went down to defeat, the vote from 93S precinsts out of 114O being 95,077 for and 17S.192 against the measure.
 The election for governor at half past eleven appeared to be close. Re turns from 93S districts out of I14O in the state gave Mccall. republ- can. 1S3.332, and Walsh. democrat. 1S3,075. The missing districts are in sections where Mccall is expected to show great strength.
 Suffrage was equally unfortunate in Pennsylvania. The returns were slow in coming in but the defeat of the proposal was indicated by an over whelming majority.
 Early returns in the mayoralty cleo tion in Philadelphia indicated the election of Thomas B. Smith repub- lican.

 Defeated in Pennsylvania
 PHILADELPHIA Nov. 2.-The at tempt to give women the right to vote met with staggering defeat in Pennsylvania today. How badly tie little band of women who bravely campaigned the state and appealed to the members of the sterner sex for equal rights. at the polls were beaten will not be known until the slow work of counting the votes is com pleted.
 Claims of the antis place the ma jority against suffrage as high as a quarter of a million.
 During the last few days of the campaign women workers in the cause made almost frantic efforts to gain support for the proposed amendments. In Philadelphia hun dreds of orators held forth in street corners and in halls, but their pleas fell on ears almost deaf, for returns show that in the cenaral section of the city the ratio against the amend ment was about 10 to l. In one election district the vote was: No 23S: yes none
 In the state the vote in many sec tions was about even. while in AL legheny county. especially Pittsburg. apparently gave a mapority in favor of the amendment Other districts, however. reported a two to one vote against it.
 The suffrage question cannot come before the people again until five years hence under the state constitu- tion.
