VON CAPELLE
/ MINISTER OF
MARINE QUITS
Successor of Won Tirpitz
Has Resigned
MORE MUNITY RUMORS
Dlsaffectlon Among German Warship
Crews Has Checked Opera
tlons Against Riga.

London, Oct. 13.-Vice-Admiral Won
Capele, the German minister of ma
rine, has resigned, according to the
Frankfurter Zeitung. says a dispatch
from Amsterdam.
Vice-Admiral Eduard Won Capelle
was one of the administrative dlrec-
tors in the ministry Of marine before
the war and had served as a captain
at sea. In March, 1916, he succeed
ed Admiral Won Tirpitz as imperial
minister of the navy. Several times
since then Won Capelle has appeared
before the Reichstag with optimistic
statements regarding the progress of
the unrestricted submarine campaign,
as late as August 26, defending the
U-boat policy of his predecessor and
himself at a meeting of the Reichs-
tag main committee.
Vice-Admiral Won Capelle announc-
ed in the Reichstag last Wednesday
that a plot had been discovered in the
navy to paralyZe the efficiency of the
feet and force the government to
make peace He said that the gull
ty parties had received their just de-
serts, and attempted to link socialists
with the plot The imperial German
chancellor, DR.. Michaelis, also spoke
of the existence of conspiracy In
the navy and asserted that certain
deputies we're involved In the revolt.
The socialists and their newspapers
have attacked both the chancellor and
the vice-admiral for their statements.
The activity of the German fleet in
the Baltic sea recently, when there
were obvious opportunities for attack
ing Russia, according to dispatch
to the London Daily Chronicle from
Amsterdam, was due to the mutinous
outbreak In the German navy. The
outbreak affected at least six impor-
tant units of the feet, putting them
ont of action and causing the author
tiles to doubt the discipline and loyal
ty Of the crews of other large ships.
1t was impossible, the dispatch adds,
to take stern measures on large
scale against the offenders, because
that would have increased the evil.

What if Jockeys and Boxers N Should Quit2

If the baseball strike should prove successful perhaps the jockeys and fighters might organize unions to protect their rights. The Jockey club has refused to allow Shilling to ride for several years. If the jock eys should form a union they could go on strike until the stewards were forced to remove the ban against Shilling. Or they could demand larger salaries.
 The fighters might organize, too, for the purpose of squeezing all the gate receipts out of the overbur- dened promoters. In fact, all class es of athletes could form unions 90 that it would be possible to control amateur and professional sport in this country. But how long would the public stand for such a condi- tion of affairs?

BAN JOHNSON
 PLANS A HOME
 FOR AGED MEN
Says He Will Start Move to Take Care of the Old Players Who
 Are Now Out.

Although baseball players are contemplating strike this spring because of unjust treatment from organized baseball, President John son of the American League says h. is about to start a movement in his league for the establishment of q home for aged and helpless ball. players.
 Such a scheme has been agitated for several years, but never has rec ccived any active support, so John son purposes to take the matter up with his club owners to see if a sum can be set aside each season by each club, the sum to go toward the support of such home. It is his belief that the National League will support it and that the Ma tional commission will set aside q percentage of the gate receipts of each worlds series for the support of such an institution.
 At present many old-time ball players are unable to support them selves and such a home would be q great benefit to them. Many are be- ing supported through the generos- ity of present-day magnates or wealthy fans who contribute through sentiment Johnson be- lieves there will be more helpless ones in the future, because base ball still is a young game and some of the old-time players still are able to work and support themselves, but may require aid in the near future BASKET BALL SERIES

The Grand Forks Y. M. C. A. leads
the third day, Bs1 to sos. in the inter-

3 to 2 handicap in the contest.
