 New York, July 10. Like an old Dominicker hen coming home to roost: Red Ames' old Polo Grounds jinx yesterday came out of its hiding place in an old clubhouse locker and cackled on Leon's trail until the shad-4 ows fell. Ames pitched in the luck which won him his famous Giant mid dle name, Kalamity, and the Giants defeated the Cardinals by 3 to 2. The uburn haired lad from Warren, O,I uOW "OIhlIlS III tno livery or bIdHCH Hickey, held the Giants to six hits and walked only one man. One of those hits was as fluky as one armed man hitting a home run. .@ In the third inning Rariden lifted an easy, everyday high fly to left cen- ter. Both Smith and Cruise were un- der it, but the jinx spoke conflicting. words into the ears of the fly chasers !! and they let it fall safely for double. , Of course Ames' only pass was con-, verted into the Giants winning run. | Twas ever thus!
 It was the fourth straight game tbo Giants chalked up against the Cardi- nals. The Giant lead spread out to l seven full games.

 In Court Action.

White Plains, N. Y. July e.-Wil- liam Mills, Jr.. who died suddenly at the home of his parents in New Ro- chelle on Saturday night from hemorrhage of the brain. was the father of William Mills. who has for some time been known as the Poor Little Rich Boy," on account of his having inherited a million or more dollars from the estate of his grand father, William Crossman, who was known as the "Coffee King" The boys parents were divorced and a short time ago his mother died.

CABLE CENSORSHIP y
 IS MADE TIGHTER
Military Information in Guise of
 News Sent to Papers in Neu-
 tral Countries. -

Washington, July 10.-A new cen- sorship plan has been adopted by the government, and a widespread ex- tension of it is under consideration. Tn effect it provides for the strictest possible scrutiny of all outgoing cable messages and a xirtual lifting of tPe5 censorship of incomingl press cable dispatches. The outgoing censorship will apply more particularly to com merciaI messages.
 The new censorship plan is the out-s growth of the criticism that has been leveled at the various branches of the government which have had to dos with supervision over press and com-t mercial telegraphic dispatches. One criticism that appealed particula HyE to officials concerned was that per- sons in this country were permittedi to send messages to Europe that might contain information of benefit to the enemy. In this connection it was learned that the government dis covered that information evidently in tended for the German government was being sent by cable from the United States to newspapers in neu- tral countries under the guise ofs news for publication. This has beenS stopped.
 One of the arrests made in New York last week was the result of al close examination of number of in-, nocent-looking cable messages filed in New York for transmission to a neu- tral European country. Hereafter, in accordance with part of the plans already adopted, a follow-up syster3s will be used to ascertain if messagel filed for cabling contain genuine in- formation or carefully concealed items of military importance to tho German government. The American citizen who cables to a relative in Switzerland that Father is ill, cont at once," should not be offended if 8 Secret Service agent calls at his residence to see if father is really i'll. At the other end of the line the per-j son to whom the cable message a sent will be investigated.
 It is probab able that if the censor- ship on outgoing cables is made to apply generally the government will remove all censorship of incoming press dispatches from France, and even refrain from asking American newspapers not to print certain in- formation which they have been withholding voluntarily from their readers for patriotic reasons at the request of the government

Midlothian Country Club. Blue Isl and, H., July 10.-Two products of the Midlothian golting incubator car ried off the medal play awards in the first skirmish of the nineteenth annual amateur championship tournament of the Western Golf Association here yesterday.
 Kenneth P. Edwards led the field of 145 starters with brilliantly played 72, equalling the modernized par of the course, while his younger but equally illustrious brother Don ald, finished four strokes behind.
 Kenneth's fine performance gave him a tentative hold on the souvenir medal for low gross for the thirty-six holes, but the eighteen holes sched- , uIed for this morning may make a close finish.

TO DISCUSS SPORTS FUTURE
Executive Committee of National Coi- leg1ate Association to Meet In Washington, D. C.. August }.

A meeting of the executive commit tee of the National Collegiate Athletic association will be held in Washing ton on August ?. to discuss the pros- poets for intercollegiate athletics dur ing the next collegiate year. This con- florence will be held as the result of the suggestion offered at the meeting of graduate athletic managers in this city some weeks ago.
 At that time the officers of the N. c. A. A. were requested to confer with the athletic authorities of the various colleges and universities and ascertain as far as possible their plans looking toward a resumption of intercollegi- ate athletics next fall and winter
 The replies all advocated a confer ence to consider, and recommend if possible a program that would ap- peal to all parts of the country as best suited to safeguard the countrys in terests in the present critical situa- tion and at the same time preserve college athletics so far as they may be kept up, without detriment to the military needs.
 There were many suggestions that the association meet as a whole, but it was thought better that the execu- tive committee convene as originally planned. In order that there may be general expression of opinion. how ever it has been decided to invite all the colleges that care to do so to send re representatives to take part in the de- Alterations.
 All have been asked to come to the eeting ready to report on the atti- tude taken, or likely to be taken. by the colleges and associations in their districts.

REVENTL0W SCOPES
 AT U-B0AT STORY
Ridicules Alleged Attack on
 Transports by Submarines

The Hague, July 10, (via London)- Count gu Reventlow, commenting on the report of a repelled torpedo attack on American transports says
 According to the story, the so- called attack in massed torpedo for mation was supposed to take place on June 22, so that it is remarkable that the news is only published now. To start with, we consider the whole story of the attack as an invention and a calculated swindle.''
 Reventlow's paper then says that the details of the story sound dilletan- tish, and that 1t would be interesting to learn what form the massed for nation attack took and whether the submarines were visible.
 Were they all together?" the ar ticle continues. Probably, otherwise the American destroyers could not have scattered them. It was probably carried out like mediaeval cavalry attack. A beautiful idea, but unfor- tunately ridiculous"
 Reventlow proceeds to explain that in America this news doubtless was greeted with triumph and gave the illustrated papers ample opportunity for their imagination and draftsman- ship of ''the scattering of submarines in closed formation He declares also that it is characteristic of Ameri- can stories to make the hour 10:3O and the days short, but that it would be impossible to see submarines at night or in half darkness unless they were above the surface of the water. The writer says that the report of the second attack is equally ridiculous and that it is a pity that no descrip- ton is given of the pieces of sup posed wreckage submarines.
 ''As for these stories.'' the article continues, "it is evident that Ameri- cans must have been in a state of ap- palling nervousness. Apart from this, it could have been foretold that Amer ican Generals who cross the ocean to save Europe would have to have ex- traordinary as well as glorifying ex- periences.'
 Reventlow adds that the whole ob- ject of this adventure story is to prove the 1mpotency of submarine es and the fact that a considerable num- her of American troops has arrived in France.
 'We repeat what we said recently" he writes. "The whole thing is sheer bluff, Only General Pershing. his staff, a. few medical men. and perhaps a few technical experts and airmen have arrived, and nothing more.'

 With the finishing of bountiful repast, post prandial ceremonies were held, with Professor J. Joyful Crean presiding at the piano. Everything in piano playing was dispensed by this youthful phenom, who also sang seve- ral vocal selections that were pleas ing. Frosty Carroll scored big hit with his line of entertainment, his renderation of Keep Your Eye on Your Girl" being we'll handled. Here tofore the vocal ability of "Ginger" Claffey has been unknown, but after his completion of several songs last evening, the boys were all sure that Mccormack and Caruso are in danger of parting with some of their laurels.
 Pete Dorsey sang two songs and also recited that pathetic piece. "The Tale of a Fish," written by a resident of Bantam Lake. Strong efforts were brought to bear to have Larry MacKay, the Sixth Ward Nightin- gale" sing a few selections, but it was an off night for Larry. Frank Gavin entertained with slight-of hand tricks. Frank Collins. although ar irving late, made a strong hit with his contribution.
