. RAY CALDWELL FINED 500.
Yankee Pitcher Breaks Training
- Rules-Shocker Fined,

BOSTON, June 3o.-Pitcher Ray cald-
well, Bill Donovan's best boxman in
this campaign, Is again in trouble.
Failure to observe the rules of training
has brought about a finesof 800 and Il
suspension with loss of salary for the
next ten days Urban Shocker. another
m ernber of the Yankees pitching staff,
has been notified of fine of $50.
Both men were guilty of breaking the
training rules. In announcing the sus-
pension last night Donovan said that
Caldwell had not appeared at the Lenox
Hotel, where the Yanks are stopping
here. Thursday night. Yesterday after
noon he failed to put in an appearance
at Fenway Park, where he pitched and
lost the second game of Thursdays
double header. He telephoned one of
the players to notify Donovan that he
would not be there. The fine and sus-
pension were the result.
Shocker's offense was failure to OBJ
serve the rule which requires that all
players be at their hotel by midnight.
AS it was his first offense. Donovan did
not add any suspension.
Caldwell while not ranking high in
the pitching records, has done the best
of all the Yankee boxmen this season.
Most of his defeats were due to poor
hitting by the Yanks rather than to
his own bad work. He has been in
trouble with the club before, having
been fined and suspended by Frank
Chance in 1914 and by Donovan last
season.

MINORS WILL NOT LOSE.
Will Retain Players and Territory if
Forced to Dishand.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Minor leagues
forced to suspend before the close of
the regular season will not lose their
players or territorial rights. according
to ruling of the governing board of
the National Association of Profession
al Base Ball Leagues received by Presi-
dent Tearney of the Three I League
last night.
The ruling was issued by John H.
Farrell secretary of the National As
ISOLATION, as a result of an appeal from
President Tearney, who believes some
of the smaller leagues will not survive
the season owing to the war situation
and continued unfavorable weather.
The board ruled. however. that play
ers will be permitted to seek employ
ment wherever possible for the remain
der of the season, but must report next
spring to the club holding their con-
tract this season. The board also ruled
that leagues desiring to suspend shall
fix a date for closing and that all
players must. be paid in full.
ut is the policy Of the national board
to help our league members in view
of conditions that have not existed for
fifty years and the unusual financial
sacrifices already made" the statement

Fire Prevention Education.

Fire prevention in public schools
and fire prevention In homes are mat
ters naturally of keen interest. In the
first case the question is largely one
of proper legislation regarding the con-
struction and protection of school
buildings; in the second case it is
largely q matter of individual educa-
ton. 1t is estimated that 60 per cent
of fires occur in homes, though of
course GO per cent of the fire loss does
not result therefrom.
Perhaps it is education which must
be relied upon to furnish the chief
weapon in the fight for fire preven-
ton. Legislation is important; so is
inspection of the construction and con-
dition of buildings so that legislation
may be backed up. But, speaking
broadly, the cooperation Of the indi-
vidual, due to his "enlightened self
interest" is probably the essential fac,
tor in fire prevention as it is in the
other activities of the Safety First fed
eration.-Baltimore News.
