MAY SELL BRAVES

Boston, July 7.-Among the base ball men the report is circulated that Percy D. Haughton and his partners will sell the Boston Braves at the end of the season. It Is understood that the Braves are losing money and that the only chance to break even finan- cially lies in the capture of the pen nant and the subsequent melon out ting in the worlds series. Rain knocked the club out of two holidays and other dates that would have been a source of much profit. The clubs expenses are unusually great, due to the rent of the big field in Boston and the salaries of the players. If Haughton & company get out of base. ball the Braves may revert to tCiaffney.

TANKS CONTINUE TO
 VANQUISH FOES
Cullop Turns in Eighth Straight
 Win Aided by Weaver

New York, July Tt is rather early to claim a pennant but long be- fore Thanksgiving day you hear peo- pie who don't care about being jostled hand out advice about doing your Christmas shopping early. The same may apply to the worlds series tickets. You know, there is an aw- full demand for them.
 But we wouldn't jinx any club for the world, so for the present we shall try to be calm. Let it suffice to say that the Yankees still are demonstrat- ing the new Yankee grit, and after spotting the fast coming White Sox three runs in the first inning of yes terday's muss on the Polo grounds they nosed them out by score of to 8. It was 8 noble home coming and the reception committee of 5000 went away saying, They are the boys" Nick Cullop turned in his eighth straight victory at the Sox's expense.
 By reason of their victory, coupled with Cleveland's fall in Boston, the Tank lead expanded to 3S points, or two and a half games. On their last offensive the Yankees have won IT games out of 21, and if the drive is continued it can have only one end ng--twenty five little bags of worlds series kale. All Donovan had to do to make his team do all these worthy deeds was to shake up his batting or der. It was so simple! The score:
 r. h. e. Chicago 3oOo00oOO-3 1 New York .2o1O001Ox-4

SHOULD BE FAST BATTLE

What promises to be one of the best battles of the year will be seen at Walnut Hill park at o'clock on Diamond No. 1, when the New Brit ain Machine company clash with the Fafnir Bearing company. There is intense rivalry between these two teams as they have already played two games and broke even. They are both confident of a victory. Stanley, the Wesleyan university pitcher, who is known as one of the best twrlers in the city, will pitch for the Fafnir Bearing and either Mack or Connolly on the receiving end. Dujack, the popular High school pitcher will be on the mound for the Machine shop boys and Wojack will catch.
 A record crowd is expected as shown by the large attendance at the recent games played by these two teams.

NO LICENSE FOR FTTZ.

New Haven, July 7.-Under the rules of the New York boxing commission, Dave Fitzgerald will be unable to get a permit to oft1ctate in bouts there. A rule of the commission 1t was stated last night, prohibits the issuance of licenses to anyone other than residents of the state. However, the commission empowers the chairman to engage a referee from any other state for some extraordi- nary bout. The failure of Fitzgerald to get a license will come as a disap- pointment to Fitzgerald and his friends, who were anxious to see him land,

The second game in the Pirates Golfers series will be played Sunday afternoon at Hart's field at 3 o'clock.

The United Press informant said
the following factors had caused the

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.-Germany's
peace proposals are made when her
armies are on the offensive in the
newest battle area, and the western
front is again deadlocked. Germany
wants peace with the Teutonic troops
occupying the enemy territory on
practically every front,
Germany's position is not a beaten
one. The Teutons occupy probably
the highest position they'll reach.
They have a clear road In Asia Minor,
halting every movement to break tho
German defenses,. II would be great
ly to Germanys advantage to get
peace now.
Nevertheless, Germany's man pow.
Ier losses are constantly greater. The
British government has just under.
gone reconstruction for the purpose
of fighting harder. France is evolv'
ing greater efficiency schemes.
German miltarists feel the wars
future developments cannot bring
better prospects,
Germany must make large conces
siOns to secure peace now. Whatever
terms Hollfeg's first announcement
include may he altered during the me-
gotiations The most important fact
Of Germany's attitude is the definite
statement Of tentative terms as n
starting point for future celebrations
