 Reports in New Haven say Red Whalen, the former Bridgeport in- fielder, is due for his release. He is hitting only .197, which is about the same mark he had when in this city. If Manager Danny Murphy gets Law ry from the Athletics, as he hopes to do, New Haven will have a great in- field. The American league is slated to replace Whalen at third
 Local fans will breath a sigh of re- lief now that Umpire McGauley has been released by President OrNeil o1 the Eastern league. He was probably the worst excuse for an umpire who has wandered into Newf1eld park 1T years. His decisions were not so bad The trouble was that he has not the temperament to hold an umpires job An arbiter must show the players a! well as spectators that he is able t< control the game. The players coult see that MeGauley was not of thi type and for that reason he was il trouble most of the time.
 One of the most improved players il the National league. this season i Leslie Mann of the Cubs He has be come one of the most dangerous bat ters on the team and only yesterda. beat Brooklyn by a home run.

LEFTY HIGH WINS
 FOR YANKEES BY HIT. WITH 2 OUT

New York. June 5-Just before the Yankees went to bat in the last half of the ninth inning at the Polo Grounds yesterday the Detroit Tigers were two runs to the good and count ed the game won.
 They were counting without their host. At least they were counting without one of their hosts. Toward the end of the battle a pleasant, smooth-faced, somewhat stout and smiling gentleman entered the press box and began to converse, but he watched ''the boys," as he always has called them. His glance never left the field of play.
 Bill Donovan saw him and, as Home Run Baker was selecting his ash for a final effort in the ninth, Bill ; spoke. "There,"- he said, "is Capt. Huston. He hasn't seen many games this year and he won't see many more unless he sees them in France. You know how he likes to see you win. Let's win this one for him. And the Caps boys won it for him by great ninth inning rally and a score of to B..
 Up to that time they had made only five hits off Ehmke, and that youthful star. who greatly resembles an ami mated beanstalk, was still carefree when Baker started things with a single to right, his third hit of the day. Even when Hendrix followed with a double-his second two-bagge1 -Ehmke believed that all was yet well.
 When Peck hit past third base scoring Baker and putting Hendryx uyif hn fxyiv, he Tigers became alarmed and decided that things had gone far enough They gathered around Ehmke and pleaded with him to remember that they already had decided to win that game and that he was in great dan ger of upsettine their plans. They decided to leave him in there for 8 tiIneNwhile c. Jones Practically warm ed up in deep right centre.
 Nunamaker drove out sacrifice fly on which Hendryx counted. Ther Caldwell batted for Love. He fore. ed Peck at second and, as that made the second out, Joe Jackson in the press box and Hughey Jennings in the dugout began to breathe almost norm ally again
 But Capt. Huston still was ge=Izs w1stfuI1X out ats them and the Tank. had punch left Magee dropped one safely in centre and Caldwell danced up and down on second base
 The committee of strategy then de, cided that Ehmke should have lef the battle line some moments earlier Carroll Jones was rushed to the from to check the Yankee drive Higf greeted him with single to left cen tre and Caldwell raced across witt &hS winning run.

HENRY FORD IN WAR.

AS a man of peace the chief differ
ence between Henry Ford and the
average American is Mr.. Ford's lin
ancial resources. He spent money
lavishly in what many people regard
ed as foolish attempt to end the
war in Europe. He spent a fortune
in this country in an endeavor to
defeat larger appropriations for ma
tional defense, his theory being that
they were not needd.
With one or two hundred million
at their disposal, many Americans,
whether wisely guided or not, might
easily have used their money as he
has done. The American has the
habit of peace. He regards war as
an evil, generally wrong in itself and
usually unnecessary. He will go a
long distance out OF his way to escape
a needless fight, but no other man
on earth has less fear OF resort to
farce when, with right involved,
there is no appeal except to force.
Placing his great factories at the
disposal of the government in the
event Of war and offering to operate
them without profit, Mr.: Ford eXem-
pliffes the American spirit. lie IS
what is called a pacifist. So practl-
cally all Americans are pacifists. But
they are pacifists of whom nations
devoted to militarism and aggression
would do well to beware.
