proposed reform of the Pittsburgh po-
tentate. A great many of the major
league club presidents will be in New
Orleans. They are likely to steer their
less illustrious colleagues along the
fair road OF principle and Justice.
Reading between tho lines OF dis
patches from Cleveland II seems prob
able that Lee Foil will be deposed as
manager of the Indians and Iris
Speaker appointed to succeed him.
President Dunn should think long
before making such move. As a
player Speaker is of inestimablc value
to the club; as manager he might not
only be failure. but at the same time
ruin his grand game in the field. 1t
was so with Hal Chase and the Yankees
back in 1911; IL was SO with Johnny
Evers, with Joe Tinker, with Bill Dab
len and dozen others that might be
named.
When Speaker shall have outlived his
usefulness "a the king Of outfielders IL
will be time for him to permit his
managerial aspirations TO soar. Just
now he would be foolish to consider a
position OF such responsibility. Dunn
might save Fohl's salary by the move.
But what would it profit him if he
ruined Speaker the outfelder.
And in justice TO Foil, it must be
remembered that he was not response
bic for the failure of Cleveland. While
he was able to present his regular line
up Fohl's club was the sensation of the
race. He, like Bill Donovan, was the
victim of circumstances over which he
had no control. Like Donovan. Lee
Foil should not be condemned on the
evidence at hand. He has earned the
right to further trial.
Christy Mathewson, for many years
the idol of New York fandom, is soon
10 pass out Of the life Of the city save
on those rare occasions when he re-
turns TO the big city at the head Of
the Reds. Matty has ordered new
homo In Rhineland. He expects to
movo 10 Porkopolis within two or three
weeks.

Dorsey VIII Answer
Charges Of Opponents

Friends of Hugh NJ. Dorsey stated
Tuesday that he was preparing his an
swer TO the attacks which Governor
Harris and Joseph E. Pottle have made
on his record with regard to asking
clemency for convicts.
Both the governor and Mr.. Pottle
have charged Mr.. Dorsey with irsin-
certify and inconsistency because, as
they declared, he was going about the
state making a race for governor on
the principle of non-interference with
the verdicts of the courts and opposing
executive clemency when, as a matter
of fact, he had himself while solicitor
general urged executive clemency for
numerous convicts, persons convicted of
murder. assaults on women, robbery,
forgery, etc.
E. A. Stephens, assistant to Mr.. Dor
sey when the latter was solicitor gen.
eral, has gone through the records of
these cases on file in the governors Of
fees, and has, 1t is said, made tran
scripts and notes which Mr.. Dorsey will
use in explanation Of mis- numerous rec
concentrations for clemency.

party leaders here said today that in
preparation for the Progressive ma
tional meeting in Chicago on August 5,
a conference of leaders from all parts
Of the country would be held in an east
ern city some day this week. The date
and place have not been definitely Sc
lected.
Walter A. Johnson, chairman of the
Progressive state committee, announced
that he would call a conference of state
leaders for some day late this week to
determine upon a course of action. II
would have called it earlier" said Mr.
Johnson, but / thought ii best to give
them a chance to cool off after the SYRIA
cuse meeting before bringing them to-
gether."
cambridge Colby, who led the fac
tion opposed to a Progressive indorse-
ment of Mr.. Hughes nomination at
Syracuse. said that hit would attend the
Chicago meeting and that prior to that
affair the New York state Progressive
leaders of the anti-Perkins faction
would consult with leaders from other
states who held similar views.
IT was announced today that the Pro-
gressive leaders who failed to put
through the program for Endorsement
of the Republican candidate at the
Syracuse conference expected to circu-
late a petition indorsing Mr.. Hughes
candidacy among the enrolled Progress
sives throughout New York state.

FLOCK OF SMALL
CRAFT TO TRAIL
U-BOAT TO SEA
Possibility of Seeing Fight Over
German SubmerSibIe Causes
Brisk Demand for SeaWOrthy
Vessels
(By Associated Press. }

NORFOLK Va, July 25.-Peports of
an authoritative source that a strong
second line of allied warships lies some
twenty miles off Cape Henry in readi-
ress 10 seize or sink the Deutschland if
she eYades the first line patrol on the
three-mile limit today made the demand
for small seaworthy craft brisk.
The possibility Of fight at sea, sug-
gested by rumors that a convoy of
armed German submarines also awaits
Il short distance outside the three-mile
limit, has aroused such interest that
owners of strong small vessels capable
of putting out twenty miles or more
are flooded with offers from private
parties for the use of their boats
Many government officials, too. arc
making ready to take up the trail of
the DeuIchland whenever she comes
down t.. bay. Added to all of these
craft. many small yachts and motor
boats are preparing to follow the big
submersible out to sea, so it looks as
if any action within reasonable dis
lance of land will be witnessed by a
large audience.
The new allied warship, thought to
be a British scout cruiser, which hrst
appeared on the front line of patrol
yesterday and relieved a French ship,
continued its lone vigil today
In German circles it was believed
that the Bremen, sister ship to the
Deutschland, either had been headed of
by allied ships or suffered an accident.

Wounded officer Describes
Fearful Struggle Fought by
British and TeutonS for VIII
lage of POZiereS

PARIS. July 26.-The fighting in the
fortified village of Pozieres between
the British and Germans is described
as follows by an officer wounded during
the struggle:
Early Sunday morning at the mo-
ment the signal for the attack was
given. after a frightfully intense bona
bardment. the English infantry rushed
forward to the entrance of the village.
carried it brilliantly and occupied the
first houses At 1870 o'clock the Ger
mans counter attacked. Their onset
was extraordinary.
Here the rifle played no part-the
knife, bayonet. revolver and grenade
were the only weapons used. The Ger
mans employed a sort OF long-handled
mace studded with nails, such as an
Apache might use. l saw a German
officer using one of them on wound
ed comrade, but as he was in the act
OF striking a revolver shot laid him
down beside his intended victim.
"In a ruined house 2 German squad
with a machine gun was eXterminated
to the last man with the bayonet by
an Australian party.
ct was present at an exciting duel
between two officers-an English lieu
tenant, who was charging at the head
of his men, and Bavarian captain. The
lieutenant struck the Bavarian a blow
i'm the chest with his sword, and at the
same time he received a ball from his
adyersarys revolver in the stomach.
Disregarding his sufferings the lieu
tenant had just strength enough to de-
liver another blow. This proved NOR
tai to the Bavarian. Unfortunately
the lieutenant died shortly afterward.
Pressed by strong forces the Eng
lish had to retreat during the after
noon. but they strongly counter at
tackled and at Z o'clock were masters of
three-quarters of the village. BY last
accounts fighting was still going on in
the northwest part of the village TO
the advantage of the allies"
