NO PROTEST TO THE /
TEUTON|C DECREE

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE state
department still considered today It's
attitude toward the Teutonic decree
announcing It's determination to
make unwarned attacks on armed
enemy merchant vessels after Febru-
AIRY 20.
II was limited. however, that a
formal announcement OF It's attitude
may be unnecessary. The govern
ment realizes that II II were to pro-
test against the Teuton plans a de-
licate situation with the central
powers would result, inasmuch as the
department recently suggested that
the allies voluntarily dlsarm mer-
chant ships.
At the same time, acquiescence In
the German viewpoint Will result In
n protest from the allies on the
ground that change In policy In the
midst OF the war Is unwarranted and
unneutral.
Moreover. the allies undoubtedly
would refrain from sending armed
merchantmen to America, thus cre-
ating at least a partial boycott.
Asked today whether the United
States would protest the unwarned
sinking OF an armed merchant ship
carrying Americans, officials said to-
day the question Is hypothetical.
Americans, however. will probably
be notified that they travel on armed
belligerent ships at their own peril
and this government may refuse to
Issue passports for such travel.

CONGRESSMAN WOULD
IGNORE GERMAN NOTICE

Washington. Feb. 15.-Senator
Sterling OF South Dakota introduced
q resolution today protesting against
any recognition OF Germany's notice
that she will attack armed merchant
vessels without warning.
The resolution declared that the
senate views the German order with
concern" and regards II an more
serious menace to commerce, parti-
cularly that OF America, than any act
OF the war;"
Recognition Of the decree, II was
said, would "be q step backward and
an abandonment Of freedom OF the
seas, which would contravene the
policy OF the United States"

They're busy all around the big
league circuits picking a new manager
for Joe Tinker. the helmsman of the
Cubs.
And. no matter what denials may
be made, il is a certainty that where
there is so much talk there must he
grounds for il.
Tinker has had two chances TO
make good as a major league man.
ager and once he had an opportunity
in the Federal League. which made
bold bid for major league rating
His success was poor in Cincinnati
and, although he did better in Chi
cago at the head of the Feds, his rec
ord cannot be rated high for he un-
doubtedly had the class of that league
in ball players aud might have won
pennant even If they had been left
to figure their own plays.
Denials of this rumor. like all such
things. are bound to come. But ru-
mors of Tinker's approaching de-
thronement are gaining strength
daily. Larry Doyle and Arthur VIII
son are prominent among those mem
toned as his probable successor. and
in Brooklyn it is being noised about
in underground channels that Jack
Coombs will wear the managers
spangles next year in the Cubs park

Joe Tinker is Believed
To Be on the SkidS

& It is said Weeghmsn made the trade
which sent Zimmerman to New York
and Doyle to Chicago with the purpose
of making Doyle manager. It also is
said that Wilson was taken back
from the Pirates for the same reason.
Tinker has done poorly in Chicago.
He has disposed of many ball players,
keep:ng many of his misit Feds on
deck and has made q poor showing.
Vic Safer. a star last year, has been
displaced in many games in favor OF
Mollwitz. purchased from Cincinnati.
Steve Yerkes, a Red Sox discard, Is
trying to do duty at second, ard
workman, weak hitter. and a re-
cruit. is pastiming at short. Zim-
norman was disposed OF to make
room for elder at third, and in the

and .sw others have tried their
hands with little success. Kelly and
Mann appear TO be the only real ball
PLAYERS in the outfield. Jimmy Archer
remains on the catching staff, but
Elliott Hendrix and Lavender still are
hurlers with the club, with several
recruits in .he string. Carter and
Perry appear TO be real pitchers, but
they are recruits and their days of
victory still are on the way.

Yesterdays hero-Connie Mack. He
crowned a seasons efforts which made
him a hopeless last by winning a
double-header from the champion Red
Sox. The Boston hurlers had nothing
that the Athletics didn't pound with
great deal Of gusto.
Every Philadelphian save one got
at least one hit in the first game
The Braves didn't allow the other
Philadelphia team such liberties. for
they won both games of a double
header and showed the Dodgers to
pennant.
The Braves got to Rixey in the first
game for five runs in one inning.
Both Mayer and Bender attempted
to stem the tide in the second con-
test, but were battered hard
The Brooklyn club, in winning the
pennant. doesn't know whether il was
