NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-The recent
statement Of Connie Mack that he in-
tended to allow all holdouts, with the
exception Of Amos strunk, to keep
right on holding out, has taken the
goat Of rival club-owners and chased
right down to spring training with It.
Mack is said to have declared that
for their statements the complaining
players will be traded or sold to other
clubs.
Club-owners in the same circuit with
Mack. and IN the National League, are
completely at a loss TO understand why
Mack should want to dismantle what
part of baseball team he still has.
Joe Bush and Wally Schang are said
TO be two Of the men who have refused
10 sign contracts at the figures offered.
With these two remnants OF the once
powerful Mackian machine gone, Mack

keeping out Of the cellar

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE OF 100
WILL GO AFTER PRO-GERMANS

One hundred of the most promin-
Colorado today are being organized
by Ralph w. Smith. federal food ad-
ministrator for Denver, into a typi-
cal frontier days vigilance commit
tee," which will make a business of
tracking down and Furnishing all dis
loyal pro-German actions and state
ments reported in this state.
Altho the organization styles it
self by a more dignified title than
vigilance mmittee"-calling it
self THE Hundred Per Cent Ameri-
can Club"-its sole aim will be to
punish disloyalty wherever it is en-
countered, and make Colorado too
hot for any man or woman who ut
ters pro-German talk of any sort"
The business of pro-German citi-
zens will be boycotted. the social con-
nections of such persons will be drop
ped. and every effort will be made to
drive these anti-Americans entirely
out of the community.
Several women of social promin-
ence. now teaching in high schools
and other institutions of Denver
will receive prompt attention from
this new vigilance committee, follow
ing alleged unpatriotic utterances
and refusals to sign the food pledg-
es" recently passed from house to
house. Their cases will be brought
strongly to the attention of the fed
eral authorities.
Every opportunity will be given
the proper federal officials to act If
they fail to do so promptly the case
will be reported direct to Washing
ton. If action still does not come in
reasonable time the committee will
take such action of its own, as it
sees nt."
