cote and Claude Williams have been
depending to a great extent on the
shine ball this season. To this delivery
IS attributed by opposing teams the
great measure of effectiveness enfoyed
py both twirlers this season. Johnson's
former ruling in regard to the shine
ball was not nearly as rigid as the
present one, as 1t carried no definite
penalty. Members of the Washington
team say that Cicotte and Williams
have been using the delivery all sea-
son. What effect the American League
presidents ruling will have on their
work in the home stretch of the PEN
nant race is problematicaI, hut should
II lessen their effectiveness IL NAV re-
suit in the 1917 pennant aging at Fen
way Park instead of the South Side
grounds in Chicago.
There seems to be no way for the
Sox pitchers to eircumvent the rule. as
the stipulation is that no substance
snail be used to shine the ball, eIimi
mating even the employment of paraffin
and talcum powder, with which IL is
ton.
Manager Griffith has suggested to
President Johnson that rubbing the ball
on the uniform also be prohibited. in
the belief that this ruling would make
absolutely impossible employment OF
the shine, regardless of whether the
ball is discolored.

furlough that will enable him to at

practically all morning in marching and
formations. and the afternoon is de-
voted to text book study covering the

not had any real strenuous work yet.
Many of them are suffering from sore
arms, but this is due to the typhoid
Drophylaxis treatment rather than to
any famed muscles.
This week the men are being shift
ed to the branch of the service for
which they have a preference, so as
not TO lose much time in getting down
to direct training in that branch in
which they aim to be proficient.

CONSERVING U. s. GOLD STORE
Additions to List of Commodities Re
curing Export Licenses.

Gold. bullion. currency and evidences
Of Indebtedness have been added to the
list of commodities requiring licenses
for export to European nations, This Is
regarded as meeting, in a measure at
least. the problem of conserving the
huge store of gold accumulated by the
United States since 1914. The problem
has been vexing the federal reserve
board and Treasury officials.
Regulations for the licensing will be
promulgated by the Secretary of the
Treasury. and endorsement probably
will be placed in the hands of Treasury
employees.
The effect of restrictions on gold ex-
ports, 1T Is believed, will be to depress
still further. temporarily at least, the
value of the dollar In International ex-
change, especially In the neutral coun-
tries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
foreign exchange is against American
money.
