HOW THE VAR
AFFECTS BASEBALL
Nine Leagues Of More Than so Clubs
Have Disbanded Since the Opening
of the Present Season.

New York, Aug. 25.-Further effects OF
the war upon baseball, particularly the
minor league circuits, is shown in the
latest issue of semi-ofiicial organ OF
the professional game. The records in.
dictate that nine leagues, consisting of
more than so clubs, have disbanded since
the opening of the present season; that
eight others have been forced to revise
their playing schedules, while several
more have either dropped clubs or shifted
them to cities or towns which promised
better support. All these changes oc
Cured during the first half of thu sea
son, however, and il appears that those
organizations which have readjusted to
meet or passed the crisis will continue
until the close of their regular playing
schedule.
Further analysed, the reports show
that ThreeI illinois Iowa Indiana) +,
Northwestern, South Atlantic, Virginia,
Central Texas, Dixie, Georgia Alabama,
North Carolina and Northern leagues all
abandoned the idea OF playing out the
schedule season. Among those circuits
which revised their schedules were the
American and International leagues, due
to the cancellation of the proposed inter
league series; Western, Eastern, New
York State, Texas, Central and Blue
Ridge leagues In several cases the re-
vision of schedules was made necessary
through the dropping of two or more
clubs.

The decision to confine the early round
play in the national patriotic lawn ten.
mis- singles tournament to the best two
out of three sets calls attention to the
fact that the L. s. Y. L. T. A. rules dc
not, at the present time, specify the
number of sets which shall be played in
championship tournament match. One
of the regulations calls for rest at the
close of the third set, indicating that
the code makers had in mind match of
more than three sets where all were not
won by the same player.
The three out of five regulation is gen
orally adopted in the various state and
sectional tournaments and is she stand
ard in the international Davis cup play.
II is likely that the national association
will draft definite rule upon this point
at the next annual meeting.
In the meantime a lively controversy
is developing among tennis players as TO
the proper length of championship
matches. One group holds to the view
that three sets is sufficient to dacide the
playing skill Of opponents while the
other contends that endurance and physi-
cal condition must be given some con-
sideration in view of the fact that GER
tain players are VIGOROUSLY slow starters
and do not reach the height of their pow
err and racquet skill uLSil the second or
even third set.

AUSTRIA CRYING FOR PEACE
Willing to Buy It's Way Out of War by
Territorial Sacrifices.

Copenhagen, Aug. 25.-An Austria
which is literally crying for peace, which
has discarded any thought of territorial
expansion and is even willing to buy its
way out of the war by territorial sac
rifiees on the Italian front and in Galicia,
an Austria of frequent foot riots, unable
to last through another winter of war
in revolution if any reasonable peace Of
fer were rejected by the government is
pictured by an intelligent Austrian who
has arrived here from Vienna. In long
talk with the correspondent yesterday
he told story which, though possibly
unduly pessiulistic, explains the persist
ence of Count Czernin, Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister, and of Emperor
Charles in returning again and again TO
the subject of peace negotiations.
This Austrian, who spent several days
in Berlin on his way to Copenhagen, had
to talk with representatives
of the German foreign office, including
Baron Won Dem Bussche- Haddenhausen,
the under secretary, and other prominent
Germans Of the stamp Of Professor Hans
Debrueck of the University Of Berlin,
Philip Scheidemann, the Socialist lead
err. and Macmillan Harden, editor of The

with the exception of Herr Harden, were

We must economic as to food"
George beamed on his wife much
pleased that she so readily fell in with
his suggestion. But then they had
been married only six months, and so
derstandings between them. The war,
which had brought so much misery
and tragedy into the world was now
being felt on it's remotest outskirts,
affecting people of moderate means by
the frightful rise in the cost of living.
The government was urging as a pa
triotic measure the wealthy classes to
reduce their menus. The poor needed
no such incentive, their slim pocket
books drove them to the dire necessity
even where a less amount would seem
to mean close approach to starva-
tiop.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Steers belonged
to neither the very wealthy nor the
very poor class. Steers was drawing
good salary in a responsible posi-
ton, they owned their own home, and
might be said to be comfortably off. So
it was quite from patriotic motives
that they resolved to cut down the
table expenses.
But" observed his wife, Ida, draw
ing her brow in perplexity, 81 must say
