The Fourth of July was celebrated
with fitting exercises in England,
France, Italy and several Of the
South American countries. Occa-
sion was found TO explain and ad-
vance the ideals for which the day
stands, and also to strengthen the
spirit Of the allies. An exchange
OF messages between the United
States and the other countries was
one feature of the day.

Finland, the newly made ally Of
Germany, is believed TO be on the
point Of declaring war against Ger
many's enemies. The treaty with
Germany gcves the latter country
power over Finland's economic af-
fairs and the final voice in her
foreign relations. This acti-
witty in the north is prob
ably inspired by the intentions OF
the allies in northern Russia. The
interests of Norway and Sweden
must also be affected and it may
cause them TO abandon neutrality.

Matty With0lds Decision
On Appeal From France
Will Go if He Is Indispens-
able to Troops Morale,
He Says

CINCINNATI, May 1. - Christy
Mathewson, of the Cincinnati Nation
ais, will go to France If officials of the
Y. M. C. A. can convince him that his
services there in improving the morale
Of the American troops would be in
dispensable.
Mathewson made this. declaration
to-day after prolonged conference
with DR.. George G. Fisher, of New
York, formerly of Cincinnati, who
is the international director of physi-
cal instructors of the Y. M. c. A.
The leader of the Reds will give the
matter serious consideration and will
announce his decision later. The dis
cussion lasted more than an hour. DR..
Fisher assured Mathewson that he could
convince him that his services "over
there" would be invaluable.
Mathewson asserted that he thought
we'll of the idea of sending over two
teams from the big leagues to play tor
the soldiers behind the lines. He and
President Hermann will confer in Chi
cago Thursday with President Weegh..
man of the Chicago Nationals and
President Comiskey Of the White Sox
on the matter If the teams are sent
abroad Mathewson will recruit the
clubs.
DR.. Fisher said that he would cable
to the Y. M. C. A. field leaders in
France for additional details of the de-
sire Of the soldiers for Mathewson to
ioin them, and that he probably would
receive an answer from General Perish
ing urging that Matty make the sac
rifce and go to Europe.
DR.. Fisher discussed with Mathewson
and with August Hermann, chairman
of the National Commission, the pos
sibility of staging world championship
game in Rome, and also broached the
subject Of taking the 1918 world cham
pionship club and putting it against
soldiers team.
The director told Matty that he stood
highest of all ball players in the affec-
ton of the American youth and that
his presence was essential to the de-
velopment Of athletics cover there"
Mathewson suggested to DR.. Fisher that
Hans Wagner was as popular and stood
as high in the estimation of the Amer
lean youth as he himself did. To that
DR.. Fisher answered
"You alone can do more to build up
the morale of the American army by
directing and developing baseball than
any other man. Mechanically, it could
be done as we'll by any one else, but
is you they want to see. Your pres
ence, the things you represent and the
fact that you yourself are with them
would do more to make army men for
get the hardships of the war than any
thing else"

the hole. The old eighth, of 150 yards,
remains the same, but on the ninth 40
yards were added by building a new
green.
The new tenth is the old first, with
the tee brought back 80 yards. The
eleventh, 335 yards, is the old second
with the tee moved back rs yards. and
a new green 75 yards beyond the old
green. 1t is drive and pitch, which
requires 160-yard carry from the tee
to clear the top Of the hill. The hole
is we'll trapped.
Cutting 10 yards off the twelfth hole
which was the old third hole. makes
1T a good two-shot hole, with long
tee shot, carrying two hills, and brings
the Tn green IN sight for the second shot
The thirteenth is new Redan hole,
with a par of 8. 1t is a full iron shot
OF 100 yards up slope, but one of the
most exacting holes on the course.
A Biarritz driving hole, of punch
bowi type, Is the new fourteenth. 1t
Is table green, on high plateau.
The par is 3, but possibly it is the
stifrest par on the course.
Another entirely new hole is the fif-
teenth, with new tee and a new
green. The drive is from the TOP OF
high hill, making it the most pict.
uresque on the course. It is 430 yards
long, with a par of s.
The old sixteenth, 22o yards, remains
the same, with the tee on the other
side Of the road. The old seventeenth
hole is improved greatly, and has q
new green Of three levels. Instead Of
being blind second shot, as before
the green is now in view. The eieh.
teenth is now a combination of the Old
seventeenth and eighteenth.

work consists chiefly Of sweeping the

construction of the course.

sented the guaranteed purchase price
of Manager Larry Lajoie to Toronto,
who was sold in good faith to the
Brooklyn Nationals. At the time Of that
sale Toronto was a city in good stand
ing in organized baseball. previous to
the disbandment of the old 1nterna-
tonal League.
The National Commission not only
contemptuously set aside this particu-
but annullcd all international League
clubs title claims to player chattels,
a great number of them prior to the
subsequent disarmament of the old In
ternational League. Lajoie was de-
clared free agent on a technicality
which, if applied to the major league
way of doing business with players,
would free half the stars appearing be-
fore the public.
McCaffery Made Protest
President McCaffery of the Toronto
club, in protesting the decision in the
Lajoie case, laid before the National
Commission grave charges against the
conduct Of President James C. McGill,
of the Indianapolis club Of the Amer
lean Association. Lajoie was declared
free agent that he might accept the
management Of the Hoosiers, McGills
team. McCaffery charged that McGill
had tampered with his (McCaffery

fences against organized baseball The
National Commission has shown it's
contemptuous stripe in the following
autocratic answer to McCaffery, which
is quoted verbatim:
"Dear Sir: am in receipt of your
letter Of April 22. Replying thereto. would
state that there will be no decision in the
McGill case. AS l have written you sew
eral times, the commission has decided
unanimously not to reopen the Lajoie case"
The foregoing doctrine Of divine
right proves conclusively that good
housekeeping in the National Commits
sion would help baseball greatly. If
willing to go the lengths of revolution
in fight for their just rights they will
not lack for newspaper support.
Captain 7. L. Huston. half owner of
the Yankees, from far-off France short
time ago sounded a note of warning to
his associates. The lecture did not take
very we'll with the solons of the major
leagues. Evidently the captain spoke too
plainly and too truthfully to suit. The
captains rebuke was not lost to the
public, even If it has failed evidently to
poTmeaCe certain CdSe-QaTQeHeu, duCO-
cratic craniums.
Public to Render Verdict
The captains little TRADE is but a
bubble in a teapot compared to certain
other ringside information that organ
lied baseball in general and certain
people of the National Commission
might not care to see in print. 1t is up
to the National Commission to act hon
orably and fairly if it expects to retain
for baseball the esteem which the in
tegrity Of the sport itself justifes.
The National Commission has not
acted and is not acting fairly toward
the new International League. The
verdict clearly if matters reach such q
pass as to necessitate war to bring the
triumvirate to it's senses.

porary quarters have been fixed up for
the members, who will be put to a
slight Inconvenience for few months,

They are now building new locker

kitchen in the back.
The main locker room building will
be rs feet long and IS feet wide. Two

Z Yankees Finish
Series To-day
With Athletics

Rain at the very last moment neces-
STATED postponement Of the game
scheduled for the Polo Grounds yester-
day between the Yankees and Athletics.
1t was a most ominous looking squall
that broke just about the time the
teams were ready to take the field, and,
though the skies cleared in about half
an hour, enough rain fell to make the
field far too treacnerous to hazard life
and limb before the handful of specta-
tors.
Both Managers Mack and Huggins
expressed keen disappointment at the
enforced idlcness, for each regards the
others aggregation as the easiest to be
encountered in the East, and each is
anxious to make up all the lost ground
possible. Mack was very hopeful, after
the rather excellent showing of Vean
Gregg, to take the two remaining
games. Now he will have to be sat-
istied with an even split, for the series
will end this afternoon.
The fine performance Of Slim Love
IN the only encounter against the Yam
KEGS to date has reassured Huggins
worry-the pitching staff. Russell and
Thormahlen have both shown ability to
travel the route. Ray Caldwell's arm
has improved rapidly the last few days,
and the veteran believes he will be
ready to work regularly, starting with
the Red Sex.
Pitchers for To-day
Mack had intended to assign Scott
Perry (for whom the Boston Nationals
have laid claim before the National
Commission) to the box yesterday. This
fine looking recruit will doubtless be
asked to pitch to-day's farewell. Hug
gins had intended to counter with
Mogridge. He had Thormahlen pre-
pared for emergencies. One of these
two southpaws will be called upon to-
day. Mack will probably use Perry
though he may select Myers, who was
the source Of considerable annoyance
to the Yankees in 1917.
The "Blue Devils" detachment of
celebrated French veterans here to as
sist in the Liberty Loan drive, will be
the guests of Colonel Jacob Rupert,
president of the Yankees, this after
noon.
