 The league unanimously went on record in favor of the creation of a new plan of dividing the players part of the worlds series receipts. Based on the returns of the first five series prior to 1917, the players on clubs fin ishng as far down as seventh place VIII receive share. It is hoped that this plan will prove an incentive to greater effort ill playing by second di- vision teams toward the end of each season. Under the new plan it was computed that each player on the win ming club would receive about S2, 300 and the losing players ill the series would get about $1,S00 each
 The league will set aside one day at each ball park during the season on which 20 per cent of the gate receipts will be donated to Clark Griffith bat and ball fund which provided $32, ,O00 i worth of baseball paraphernalia to en- listed men during the last six months. | It is estimated that S6O,000 each year will suffice for this purpose.

H|-Y COURSE TO
 GET NEW NUMBER

It so often happens that people do not receive their moneys worth when they subscribe to lecture courses and various forms of entertainment, the management of the Hi-Y Lecture Course, believes it will be positively refreshing for holders of course tickets to learn that an extra number is to be given without extra cost. Dr. Edgar E. Robinson, of Leland Stanford Univer- sity will deliver his famous lecture, American Leadership in the Great War" as the added number, appearing at the high school auditorium, Thurs day evening, December 20.
 During the week of the last state fair, Dr. Robinson was in Phoenix and spoke before several hundred school teachers at the joint county institute. His talk was received at that time with such interest and created such univer- satisfaction. the managers of the Hi-Y lecture course entered into negotia tions with pr. Robinson to the end that patrons of the course might be given the opportunity to hear his lecture
 All holders of tickets to the Hi-Y lecture course will be admitted free to this number. in fact, it has been the aim of the managers to give special number if it was possible for them to do so, and after looking over the field, they feel that this is one of the best things that they could possibly bring to town at this time. On account of tho importance of pr. Robinson's sub- ject and the desire of the Hi-Y people for as many people to hear him as pos sible. they have arranged to make this a very popular number and anyone not son streets. will hold Bazaar of Olden Times"

BRITISH STILL
COMMAND SEA,
SAYS GERMAN

Copenhagen, Aug. 4.-Captain Per-
seus, naval expert of Berlin paper.
in review of the third naval year of
the war. says the superiority of tha
British fleet, despite heavy losses, is
great enough to justify its claim that
it controls the seas. The German fleet,
is unequal to it. .,
The German high seas fleet, in con-
junction with the coast defense guns,
submarines, mines. etc, undoubtedly
will be able to beat off all attacks and
keep the enemy from the coast. he
said, but adds that German minds
should give no room to views of an
offensive activity.
All this fatty contradicts the admir-
atty view. expressed in official and
semi-offiCial circles on the emperor's
Skagerrak message that the Germans
have wrested from the British feet
the mastery of the sea.
Captain Perseus also warns against
super-optimism for a too speedy sue
cess in the submarine war, in view
of the great shipbuilding possibilities
available for the entente.

POPE'S ATTITUDE .'.'
TOWARD GERMANY
UNDERCOES CHANGE

Rome, Aug At is stated in Vati-
can circles that the Popes impartial
attitude toward official Germany Is
changing The Pope is reported to re-
gret greatly the action of Germany in
connection with the ,deported Bel
gians The new attitude appears to
have been adopted after the fall OF
Dr. Won Bethmann Hollweg, the i'm
perial chancellor, who. just before his
resignation wrote what now Is appar
ent was farewell letter to the Holy
Father, thanking him for his forebear,
ance and favors.
Commenting on the situation. the
Italia points out that the relations
of the Vatican with the Austrian ca
tholics are excellent, whereas the Ger
man bishop has been subservient to
the government, but the Austrian
bishops have remained Independent
and have even protested against Ger
man atrocities.
The Italia says further Austria still
desires to keep in favor with the
Vatican, hoping therein to keep a
peace intermediary.
Although an absolute break with
Germany is not expected at this time,
it is certain the deportations from
Belgium are daily making it more diff
ficulty for the maintenance of rela-
tions. The Pope's condition is un-
comfortable owing to the fight made
by the Anglo French and Belgian capi-
talists. who long had claimed that the
Pope was surrounded by central pow
er Influences.
