The scheduled game between Nashville and New Orleans, which has not been played, will be ordered played by Baugh, thus satisfying Frank The playing of the game was the basis of Franks unex- pected protest and the Dutchman stated yesterday that he would be thoroughly satisfied with the outlined action.
 Franks outburst came as a big sur prise to baseballdom. President Baugh was unaware that the game had not been played and the Nashville and New Or leans clubs also maintain that they have overlooked the cash. But this does not put either club in the excusabie class.
 ANSW FRS RECEIVED
 President Baugh received answers from the Nashville and New Orleans clubs yes terday afternoon. both claiming that the game had unintentionally not been played. Consequently. Baugh, seeing that Frank was right in his protest. will prob ably order the game played at once
 It Is not probable that either the Nash vile or New Orleans will be fined for their mistake. The leagues bylaws gives Baugh the right to impose several penalties, but it is likely that the game will be played, thus proving a satisfactory ending to the controversy.
 Frank it is thought. proved a bit nasty in making his demand on Baugh No doubt had Frank explained the situation to Baugh, the league proxy would have investigated and taken the proper action without notoriety of the case being spread broadcast.

PRESIDENT SPEAKS
BOTH AS MAN AND
AS PARTY LEADER
Tells Delegation of Members

That He Hoped Their Cam

WASHINGTON, Oct 35.-Speaking as
a party leader and as an individual.
President Wilson urged woman suf-
frage issue upon the voters of all states.
He told a delegation of a hundred MEM
bers of the New York state Woman
Suffrage party that he hoped their
campaign would be successful. and
urged men of all parties, in New York
particularly, to vote for suffrage.
Asking the presidents support or the
New York state constitutional amend
ment referendum, the delegation, with
Mrs Norman de r. Whitehouse as
spokesman. told him that thousands of
suffragists in New York are actively
supporting him in his leadership Of the
cause Of world democracy And they.
pleaded that ne send a message to New
York supporting their cause, particulars
| ly in view Of the fact that the women
themselves engaged in many forms OF
war work, have been unable to do all
the campaigning they otherwise would
The president was prepared to do as
they sought AS an advocate of settling
| the Suffrage question: IN the states he
was to give a message which is destined
to have a big effect on the state issue In
New York.
| Mrs. Whitehouse pointed out that the,
war is confusing the suffrage issue
while the war has brought suffrage
to the women OF Canada and Russia, the
/ assurance of It to the women OF Great
Britain and the promise OF 1t to the
women Of France" she said. here in
America it is used by our opponents as
a reason for still longer holding suf-
frage from us.
while the change Of sentiment In ia
vor Of woman suffrage in our state is
very marked, the issue even now, less
/ than two weeks before election, Is OVER
Swallowed by the public interest In the
war In consequence many men who are
heartily In favor OF woman suffrage DC

opportunity to vote upon 1t upon election

advanced lines on the east bank Of the
IsonZo. Powerful Austro-German at
tacks also were made on the BainsizZa
plateau and on the west slopes of Monte
San Gabrielle, but these were checked by
the Italians. who took a few hundred
prisoners.
The enemy attacked on the southern
slopes of Mont Rombon and on the
northern edge OF the Bainsizza plateau.
In the former region he was resisted
In the narrows at Saga, but further
south he broke through the italian ad-
