it's mighty hard. when 30 many
other clubs are strengthening them

Boston. Chicago, and Detroit
were stronger than the Griffuen in
lslb. With neither team much
changed. the Red Sox should hold
the same margin OF advantage this
season.
Detroit has gathered in some new
lads who are expected to make the
Tigers bctter than they were In 1915,
which was two places better than the
Grifrmen.
The White Sox landed ahead of tho
Grifmen and have obtained added

ARRESTED AS A SPY
 IN BRITISH ARMY

SAN FRANCISCO. July 21. - liar old George Campbell Clemson, who claims to be a native of San Fran cisco, is in jail at Stafford, England, held by the British authorities as a German spy, according to word re- ceived today by the police, who have asked to verify Glenson's assertions, Clemson, according to the communi. cation received by the police, deserted from the 30th battalion of Lancashire Fusiliers, in which, on account of his knowledge of German, he had been assigned to duty as an interpreter.
 The police said they had little hope of establishing Glenson's claim to citi- zenship, as all the records on which he depended for verification were de- stroyed by the fire of 1906, and the people to whom he referred as hay ing employed and known him were either dead or had gone away.
