The chief of the air service rightly
regards this comic element as tenn
pering alloy of modesty and high
spirits in the great amalgam of enthu-
siasm, Indignation and chivalry. 1t is
of the boys own choosing. The Buff
falos sing: put me off at Buffalo,"
but they mean Berlin. The Plumed
Knights chase comic devil, but in
their hearts they are out against evil,
and they feel such grand things in
side them that they laugh it off, en-
barrassed. thinking: what, mc--a
plain, ordinary gink like me?" The
Kicking Mules hide such idealism that
their kick is ten times harder for 1t.

dispersed German patrol made up
of reorgaliHed survivors of the
Boelke- Richthofen circus. The story
of the fight has bee nalrcady told in
follows: "Thcy are copying our in
signia," said one young fellow on
landing. "All those German planes
we chased had bright red noses.' The
remark showed cloqucntly his mex
pcrience. One by one. as they came
down. they conrmcd the fact of the
red noses. Also. with their field
glasses, the French A. a. AS had
seen it. Don't you recognize those
nosos?" admired a French veteran

Cleveland Club Will
Close Its Park To-day
Dunn Announces Decision Irrespective Of Action OF
Other Teams in American League-Frazee
Wants 100 Game Schedule.

CLEVELAND, July 2o.-Blazing the trail
for all the other major league club own
ers, President James C. Dunn Of the
Cleveland Americans announced to-day
that after to-morrow's scheduled double
header with the Athletics here he would
close the local park for the duration Of
the war.
Dunn Is the FIRST club owner to cox
press his opinion on the ruling of Secre-
tary Of War Baker regarding the status
of baseball players As employees Of nom
productive occupation and the frst to
take such q drastic stand before the
matter could be discussed with the other
club owners. Mr.. Dunn sent the follow
ing telegram from his homo at Chicago !:
I'VE will play a double header with
Philadelphia tomorrow and will then
close the ball park for the balance Of the
season at least. II Is our desire to COM
ply promptly with Secretary Bakers
ruling on baseball"
No word has yet been received from
any OF the other magnates indicating
what they intend doing before the ruling
Is actually put into effect
MY men told me that they would not
care to stand on the field and have
leather lungsd fans shout at them to get
useful jobs" said Dunn. IT agreed
heartily with them. They are all pre-
pared to step into new work."
Reports In baseball circles here that
an effort would be made to keep eight
clubs going by using players from the
two major leagues who do not come I'M
der the new regulations could not be
confirmed by officials.

said President johnson, I'VE accept the
ruling without q protest. II those 25s
players affected can perform useful and
indispensable work in the remaining
three months OF the baseball season the
financial loss resulting to our business
Is inconsequential. We only regret that
We have been placed in the position of
having to close our parks when we al
ready had offered to do so. One word
from an authoritative source would
have accomplished the Same result
Now We will wind UP our affairs a.
best we may and build for the future.
We will extend every cooperation in our
power to the Government. This time
while professional baseball Is cast aside
for the national emergency will provide
the opportunity to rehabilitate baseball.
Evils have crept into the game. Waste
full extravaganza on the one hand and
lack Of proper government on the other
have been overlooked In the hurry and
hustle Of the times. Major league clubs
must be better governed. Minor leagues
must be better supervised. They have
scarcely shown ability to govern them
selves. We will start at once to formu-
late plans for the future-pians which
will minimize the business end and en-
phasize the sport and recreation so far
as that is possible.
Il think the national emergency ulti-
mately will be Of good to organized
baseball In giving It q much needed op-
methods and In the membership of some
OF it's present family"

that II Ban johnson ever goes to Eu-

made this statement here to-day In
conjunction with his announcement
as to the work or fight order.
II remember when johnson was
sounding forth last fall In his intense
desire to get into the trenches and
slaughter the Germans" Tener said.
There was not a chance for him to
be accepted" he continued, and
when he was offered a commission in
a department Of the service for which
he was fitted by training and ex-
perience he refused to accept It, My
opinion Is that II he ever goes to
France It will be just as our victo-
rious soldiers are marching down the
streets OF Berlin"
