and myself. and President Johnson has
been to Boston this week as the com
missions representative to ascertain
the real state of affairs and submit a
report, which will be accorded thought
full atte9tion and may result in prompt
action.
q do not hesitate to put myself on
record condenning gambling on ball
games in all its forms as a menace to
the sport. In my judgment the club
that tolerates open betting on its
ground is not worthy to enjoy priv
ileges of the national agreement.
Each major league has .the right to
insist that those in control of a fran
chise enforce the provision in its con
stitution against betting in ball parks
Failure to safeguard the games in
tegrity and craftsmanship from this
menace is so serious an offense, under
base ball law. that 1t is one of the
offenses for which the National or
American League franchise may be
revoked.

Bjurstedt in this match was the oppo-

Indoor Tennis Champion Plays
Spirited Match Against

SOUTHAMPTON. l. l.. August IL
Two notable victories. which carried
with them the chief honors in the ten
mis- tournament at. the Meadow Club.
were achieved yesterday by S. Howard
voshell. the national indoor champion.
In the morning he played SO brilliantly
and steadily that he brought John K.
Strachan of San Francisco to the first
defeat that he has suffered since his
eastern invasion. Three sets were nee
essary to ranquish the Californian by
scores of 30. so. Ga. In the after
noon Voshell put the browning touch TO
his days work when he defeated Har-
old A. Throckmorton in a keenly played
match. the score of which was Ga. GA.
Both of VosheIfs antagonists were. in
fine fettle for stirring match. but they
could not combat successfully the re-
sourceful play of Voshell. who whipped
his shots across fast and true in the
face of rallies by his rivals. 1t was this
ability to play remarkably well when
Strachan and Throckmorton were sum
moning their reserve strength that en-
Abled Voshell to carry off the honors
in the two singles matches.

Mr.. Baer's Statement.
In his statement, he says:

In MS statement, ne
Germany holds conquered territory
in France Belgium and the Balkans
equal in area to her own European ter
ritory prior to the war. Germany can
not be allowed to hold these people in
subsection, nor to make this proflt as a
result of the murderous assault upon
the peace of the world by the imperial
lists of the European nations. But while
we are fighting to destroy German i'm
perialism shall we fight to support
British imperialism? Already, as re-
suit of the war. England holds in Africa
a million square miles of territory.
After an imperial council had been held
recently by the British and colonial
governments of the British empire. the
premier stated to the world that Great
Britain would not relinquish its hold
upon this territory.
president Wilson says that we are
in accord with the aims of our allies,
and that their aims are in accord with
ours If that be true, then are we not
fighting for Imperialism and not for
democracy? While engaged in right
eous war against German imperialism
why should the United States aid Eng
land or any other country in their i'm
perialistic designs Let us drag these
questions out before the whole world
and settle them before the bar of world
opinion If the German people and
government are now willing to settle
this war on the basis of the demands
of our government, we should no long
er continue to war. We cannot know
that we are not sending our young,
strong, capable men to die in the
trenches, not for democracy, but for
Imperialism, unless the things for
