New York, Dec. 0.-The lack Of ade-
quate naval stations as a weakness in
the naval establishment of the United
States which 1t was declared "gives
our strategists just cause for concern"
was discussed here today by Rear Ad-
mirals Bradley A. Fiske and John r.
Edwards. both retired. before the
meeting of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers. They spoke af-
ter the reading Of paper by Prof. w.
D. Cathcart, a naval consulting engi-
neer of Philadelphia, dealing with the
deficiencies of the land end Of the
country's naval affairs. Both the rear
admirals endorsed what Prof. Cathcart
said. Rear Admiral Edwards declared
that If there were no other way to get
money to build up the shore stations
he would cut out one capital ship
from the appropriations in order to do
SO.
Cranes Not Heavy Enough
South of Hatteras you have not
crane that will lift a gun out of a tur-
ret of battleship," said Rear Admiral
Edwards. "And it is fact that there
is not a place along the coast south of
that cape where a battleship could go
for repairs in case Of Gripping in ac-
ton. Charleston, South Carolina, would
make a splendid base. We need
base at Charleston and one in the gulf
to protect the Panama canal. The
great menace to this country is the
condition OF our shore stations. A base
at Charleston would make an enemy
extend his line of operations 500 or 600
tab fnlx
capital ships.
Rear Admiral Fiske said the American
people do not realize their danger any
more than does baby on railroad
track. He said it was the duty Of the
engineers to point to their fellow citi-
zens what our country must do or per-
ish"
Could Seize Stations
In his paper Prof. Cathcart said that
several of the American naval stations III
their defenceless state could be seized
with ease If the American fleet were first
defeated AS to the stations on this coast
he said "they all lie within an air line
distance Of 800 miles, ALTHOUGH our Attain
tic and Gulf coast lines are more than
5000 miles long. If an enemy should gain
possession of these 500 miles of coast our
dreadnoughts would be homeless unless
the feet could flee to the Bay of Panama.

Cincinnati, Dec. S.-Fines by the whole
sale were inflicted by the National Base
ball Commission here today on major
league ball players who have taken part
in various exhibition games following the
close Of the season of 1916. Fifty-one
players from Is Of the 16 major league
teams were fined amounts ranging from
SIS to 500. However, the commission sus-
pended the fines on 80 players, allowing
only 13 fines to stand. The men who must
pay are Henriksen. Janvrin, Shorten, Hob
litzell. Lewis. Mentally, Scott, Cady, Ruth

ton American League team; Cobb and
Young of the Detroit Americans, and
Player Davis Of the Philadelphia Ameri-
cans All of these were fined 500 except
Cobb, who must pay $50. The fines on the
Boston Americans came as the result of
a game played at New Haven. Ct, In vio-
lation Of the rule against members OF
the world champions playing in games
after the close Of the season. Barry did
not play but managed the team that did

cities, but the fines Of the remainder Of
the team were suspended because It was
brought out In the testimony that Davis
had assured his team mates that he had
the word Of President johnson Of the
American League that there would b no
official objection to the team playing. Tho
commission states that President johnson
simply advised Davis to take up the mat
ter with the chairman Of the commission,
which, according to the chairman. he fall
ed to do. The chairman. Augustus Herr
mann. says that had Davis taken the
matter up with him q refusal to play
would have been the only possible ruling.
Player Young was fined for playing with
team in the East after the disband-
ment Of the Canadian tourists, while Ty
Cobb was fined on account Of his having
taken part in the game at New Haven
against the Boston Americans.
The commission stated that any further
violation Of the rules relative to playing
in exhibition games would be moro Sc
verely dealt with and IN case Of any Of
the players whose hnes were suspended
should violate the rule again tho original
fine would be imposed and q much heavier
one added.
