AMSTERDAM, Sept. is. - Count Won
Reventlow, commenting on the Buenos
Ayres disclosures in the Berlin To0es

away Count Lux xburg's reference to sink

that the submarine warfare had not
been guided strictly and unchangeably
by the proclamation Of the barred zone.
He is also concerned because the in
cident indicates to him that the Ameri-

IF ROGER HORNSBY
ISSOLD TOCUBS

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16-The purchase
or Grover Cleveland Alexander and
Bill Kelliher by Charles WeeghuAn
has opened the eyes Of the st. Louis
fans, and q petition was in cireula-
tion today informing President
Hickey, OF the st. Louis National
League club. that II Roger Hornsby
is sold to the Cubs many payee Gus
toners will be missing next summer.
The lead OF the petition reads; 49,

form you that II you sell Roger
Hornsby to the Cubs for cash we Will
not attend q single game next sum-
naer."
District managers reported that so
far $4,000 names have been secured,
and they expect to reach 10000.
Hornsby Is the idol of the St Louis
fans He has created q greater SEN
sation here in the last two years than
Theodore Breinstein. Rube Waddell,
Bobby Wallace. George Stone, Lou
Criger, and Del Pratt ever made dur
ing their palmy days. His wonderful
hitting has done much to keep the
Cards in the hunt for the last two
years, and that he is the greatest
prize the club holds is manifested by
the petition which has been sent to
Hickey.
Hornsby has taken every advantage
OF this popularity to boost his salary.
for before he left for his home in
Texas he said that he would not play
with the Cards for 1918 unless he was
given a contract calling for $4,000
per yeAr-a pretty big figure for .
lad Just turning his twenty-hrst birth
day.
Last year Hornsby held out for .
Sc, 900 contract when the club offered
him $4,000, but he signed when a
compromise was made, which was said
to net Roger $4,000 for the season
During the past season Hornsby

National League race. and had q feld-
ing average Of .s3s.
