GOLD FOR JAPAN
Western Empires Withdrawal of Huge
sums Causes Speculation.
(By Associated Press. J

washinaton, May 25.-Japan is with
drawing gold from the United States
with a rapidity which has caused con-
siderable interest and some speculation
as to the meaning of the movement.
Approximately $35,000,000 has been
Withdrawn since Jan. / and other with
drawals are expected in the future.
Officials here feel that the movement
cannot be accounted for by the balance
of trade. Possibility that some other
governments are paying their muni-
tions bill with gold made available by
the extension of credit by this govern
ment has been discussed but it is be-
lieved this contingency likewise would
not account for the strong current of
gold shipments westward. -..

Dope Indicates Eastern
Ball Teams Are Strongest

New York, June IA base ball
sharp here says: There need be no
further doubt that the bulk of the
strength of the National league is in
the east. The results of the intersec-
tional games played in the seaboard
section of the circuit thus far indi-
cate that the eastern clubs are con-
siderably stronger than those OF the
west. The occidental hosts will be
fortunate, indeed, to have one OF their
group in the first division at the ter
mination OF the chase.
"a few weeks ago the Cardinals
and Cubs were proceeding merrily
along the upper trail, with the atten-
,tion of fandom, the country over, ri
veted upon their triumphant drives.
Today they are beginning to betray
signs Of fatigue. The whitening pace
of the spring campaign is beginning
to tell All of which isn't meant to
intimate that the Cards anG Cubs have
cracked. Far from It. 1t is altogether
likely their defeats have been due
merely to temporary lapse and that
in week or so they viii be moving
toward the top again at the old pace.
But enough OF them has been seen in
action against the formidable eastern
clubs to warrant the prediction that
the seaboard clans will have the FIRST
division pretty much to themselves at
the finish.

Foot Ball Brings Big Revenue

Foot ball returned the greatest rev.
enue, in Prineeton's athletic history,
$65, 800, as against $4,000 in 1914 and
$4,000 inS 1918. This gain was
brought about largely through the
fact that the Yale Princeton game Of
1915 was played in the Bowl before
large throng. The receipts from
this game netted $45,000, as against
$4,000 the previous year. The Har-
ward game Of 1915, which was played
at Princeton, produced receipts
greater by $4,000, than those Of 1914.

State Laws Interfere With
Sunday Games in East

New York, June apparently
state laws are going to prevent in part
the plans entertained by major league
base ball owners for giving financial
aid to military units through the play
ing of games on Sundays in eastern
cities. With game arranged for the
Polo grounds, Sunday, June 10, be-
tween the Yankees and ST. Louis
Browns, it was hoped to stage spe-
cial contests to be turned over to DIFF
ferent war relief funds.
Captain T. L. Huston. part owner
of the Yankees, who put the scheme
on foot here, proposed that proceeds
from such game should be turned
over to the New York engineers, who
are expected to leave shortly for duty
in France. This contest is expected
to go through, although official sane
tion has not been moved forward for
this occasion. Elsewhere the scheme
is encountering insurmountable OBJ
stacles.

Men in Shipyards on the
2 Pacific Coast Take to Ball

The entry OF the United States into
the world war has threatened to Grip
Pile professional base ball in Seattle.
but has brought into existence the
Seattle Shipbuilders' league, with an
amateur club in each of the four
largest shipyards, which together en-
ploy nearly 10000 men.
Numerous base BALI players,
dropped by professional clubs on the
coast, and others who are tired of
the uncertainties of the game and like
to draw pay the year round, have
found employment in the shipyards,
and there is no trouble in picking out
good teams. The league has equipped
a bali park within walking distance
OF the business district of Seattle, and
it is estimated that the patronage of
the shipyard men alone, on their Sat-
urady half-holiday, will more than pay
the expenses OF the team. The park
was paid for by money raised by
popular subscription. Attendance on
the opening day was 4,500. The ship
yard owners encourage the league, be-
lieying it improves the spirit Of their
plants.
Portland, Tacoma, Gray's Harbor,
Olympia and other shipbuilding cen
ters are adding thousands of men to
their shipyards,< and it is expected
that each large yard in the northwest
will have its, base ball team before the
end of the summer.
