hotel, He urged the distribu-
ton Of 200,0 bulletins among
automobile owners in the Uniteo

There is not a better route ir
the country than that by way OF
the Yellowstone trail," said Mr..
Parmley. Nowhere along the
run is there a mile of desert or a
stretch where travelling condi

becomes known generally, many
of those who have gone by other
routes will come this way.
The Yellowstone trail can be
put in such condition that it will
be as easy to travel as city
street. There is not a mile OF
swamp but can be drained, not a
stream but can be bridged, not a
mountain with pass greater
than 8 per cent in grade, not a
lake that does not add charm t.

Peace Compact.
MONEY NOW IS OVERDUE

NEW YORK. April 2S.-Another phase
of the Cincinnati peace agreement be-
tween organized base ball and the Fed
eral League has come to light in the
hitch over the payment of indemnity by
the American and National leagues to
the Brooklyn. Newark and Pittsburgh
clubs of the Independent organization.
The attorneys for organized base ball
have recommended that this money be
not paid. because of Baltimore's repudia-
ton of the terms of peace.
1t is understood that organized ball was
to pay s350.0 to the Ward interests for
Washington Park in Brooklyn, while
Harry F. Sinclair was to receive about
$4,000 for the Federal League tablish-
ment in Harrison, n. j.. just outside OF
Newark. Edward w. Gwinner of the
Pittsburgh Feds was to be reimbursed to
the amount of $50. 900 for his losses in the
Smoky city. The time is past when the
first payments should be paid, and the
reason for the delay is the action of the
Baltimore club in refusing to agree to
the terms of peace, and also In bringing
a suit in the federal courts against or
ganiZed ball
Terms Agreed To.
In speaking aboAt the situation yes
terday, President John K. Tener of the
National League said: Each league I'M
derstood that each Of its clubs would
carry out the terms of the agreement
The Baltimore club was at that time
one of the eight parts of the Federal
League. In making the peace agreement
the Federal League spoke for it and I'M
dertook to see to it that Baltimore
should comply with the terms Of the
peace agreement
LAS is now well known" continued
President Tener. the Baltimore Federal
League club has not only refused to
carry out the peace agreement, but has
gone further and brought an action in
the United States courts charging that
the Federal League. by signing the peace
agreement, conspired With organized ball
to injure and destroy the Federal Balti-
more club.
''It is apparent that the Federal League
has not carried out the obligation it took
in the peace agreement. The National
and American leagues naturally decline
to pay for something that they have not
received. Until the Federal League keeps
its promises and secures from its con-
stitueht clubs an acceptance of the peace
agreement, no payment will be made I'M
der the agreement
'Is organized ball." asked President
Tener. Obliged to pay for peace with
the Federal League If one Of the parts of
the Federal League not only continues
the fighting. but also attacks the peace
agreement itself?'

Strangely enough, sisler never had
worn a first baseman's mitt until he
came to the Browns last summer. Up
to that time playing first base was new
to him. but he has picked up the knack
of playing the bag, and it is Jones
belief that he will make a star in that
position.
There is likely to be a change made
in the outfield of the Yankees shortly.
With Magee and Gilhooley still under
the weather and Fritz Maisel hitting
poorly, Donovan must strengthen his
outfield If he hopes to cut any figure
in the race. 1t is advocated that Hugh
High, who hits well and is a good field
er, be put in Maisel's place and Maisel
benched. Another suggestion is made
to place Baker in the outfield and let
Maisel return to his place at third
base. where he is sure to hold hin own.
AS vet Donovan has not decided what
he will do, but Baker. it is figured. can
play the outfield. and his hitting would
