COUSIN OF MRS. SAWYER
KILLED IN ACTION

Word was received by Mrs. E. o..
Sawyer, Jr, yesterday, that her first
cousin, Flight Lieut.. Frank Surtis,
aged q, was killed in action some
where in France on August 14th. Cur
tbs was member of the Royal Fly
ing Corps of Great Britain, having
been transferred to that service after
the 2O1st Canadian Battalion was
broken up. He lived at 1918 Bath
hurst street, with his parents.
1t was on August 14th that the Ca
nadiaEs captured Hill 10, famous Ger
man stronghold northwest OF Lens on
the Loos salient, and it is probable
that it was during this battle his air
plane was shot down.

Loan to italy

The United States government has
advanced to Italy another credit Of
$50 100000. The amounts now loan
ed to the Allies come to more than
$2,8OO,OOO,OOO.
Evidently the explanation of Secre-
tary of the Treasury William McAdOO
concerning the details Of loans to the
Allies was satisfactory since this new
loan is not meeting with any adverse
comment from the legislators who op-
posed authorizing loans in the dark.

Hussane is a master of the toe hold,

year under the direct training of
Farmer Burns, living at the Farm

The fact that the Farmer" later
sued Hussane for a board bill of 1929
may be taken either as an indication
that Hussane ate more than he was
expected to, or that relations were
broken off somewhat harshly.
Hussane profited greatly from the
Farmers" training, and was not
thrown while he was with the veter-
an of the mat.
He has been taught thoroughly to
keep or the canvas unless able to get
behind the other fellow, and is an ex-
pert at getting away from a hold and
regaining his feet. This principle OF
wrestling Is based upon a favorite
saying of Farmer" Burns that You
can throw a man who isn't off his
feet, and Hussane will give Caddock
brisk battle before he gets him to
the mat, If, indeed, he is not able to
take the superior position himself.
Hussane has a special toe hold of
his own in which he twists his oppo-

WINTER TO SEE
Big CHANGE IN
NATIONAL GAME
1918 Organization Is
Perfected At Meeting
Wednesday Evening

New York, Nov 29.--Baseball mag
mates, players and followers of the
game in general, are almost unani-
nous in expression OF the opinion that
the coming winter months will wit
ness important changes in the meth
DDS and arrangements governing the
professional end of the national sport,
1t appears certain that out of the mass
radical certain developments will oc-
cur relative to the conduct of the
business end OF the game during the
duration of the war at least.
Both major and minor league mag
mates will discuss and consider num-
erous suggestions looking toward i'm
provement of conditions existing at
the present time during the coming
annual meetings. While no hasty &C
ton will be taken IL is considered
in combination and conduct of the
sport will be adopted before the sea
son of 1918 is reached. Owing to the
difference of opinion on these points
among the various club owners, IL is
difficult to name the proposals which
may eventually be enacted in baseball
law but there has been no dearth Of
these both from official and unoffieial
sources.
shorter Season Wanted.
Among the plans advanced are the
following: shorter season and sched-
ule in the major leagues, coupled with
a suggestion to start the world series
several weeks earlier than has been
the case in recent years; curtailment
of the number of players now permit
ted to each club and a. reduction OF
the present salaries; the shifting of
one or more club franchises to new
and more profitable fields of patron
age; the elimination OF long and ex-
pensive southern training trips; rear
rangement OF schedules with the idea
of reducing the large annual trans
portation bills; reimbursement or com
bination of minor league circuits In
order to provide more attractive and
lucrative play.
It is exceeding doubtful If all Of
these suggestions are adopted but 1t
is equally certain that some Will md
their way into the codes or agree
ments of the league since those in
charge realize that baseball, like all
other sports, is confronted by condl-
tions which are far from normal. An
example of these conditions can be
cited in the draft problem which con-
fronts the magnates. A number of
major and minor league plays will
probably be lost to the game in this
manner before the spring practice be-
gins and their places must be filled.
It is expected that the big league club
will draw upon the minors for war
time substitutes. If this is done both
the quality and quantity of play may
decrease on certain circuits. Viewed
from any angle, the position OF the
baseball magnate cannot be compared
to the proverbial bed of roses at this
time.
