100000 FOR RED CROSS
Ban Johnson's Latest Plan Makes
THIS Sum Possible From Both Ma

Chicago, Feb. 2.-More than $780,
900 probably will be turned over to
the American Red Cross by the two
major leagues this season il plans
now under consideration are carried
out, President Ban Johnson, of the
American league, announced last
night.
1t is proposed to increase the cost
of all admissions five or ten cents and
turn over to the Red Cross the diff
erence between the regular fee plus
war tax and the increased admission
price. Club owners in both leagues
favor the proposal, and all that re-
mains is official sanction by Washing
ton officials, Mr.. Johnson stated.
Under this plan,' he said, "b1eache1
seats would cost 80 cents, pavilion So
cents, grand stand 80 cents, and
boxes $1.10. Thus on each ticket there
would be two Or three cents left over
after we paid the war tax. This would
be turned over to the Red Cross and
the total for the season, based on
last seasons figures, would amount
to more than 100000.
'The plan now is bein considered
by the Internal Revenue department
and 1 understand has met with their

An affirmative reply was sent to
Mack, who then went south to COM
plete the arrangements. He was
successful on his mission, and upon

The arrangement calls for daily

FAIRBANKS WINS TITLE
Denver Golfer Defeats \. w. Cameron
in Lake Worth Championship at
Palm Beach. Fla.
By Briggs.

Palm Beach, Fla, Feb. 2.-Walter
Fairbanks, of Denver, won the Lake
Worth championship yesterday, de-
feating \. W. Cameron, Huntington
Valley, and 5, in u thirty-si hole
contest. The outcome was never much
in doubt, although Cameron played
we'll, particularly in the afternoon,
when he had lost his early nervous
ness. The morning round ended with
tho champion 4 up and with a medal
score of so.
IT the afternoon both he and
Cameron were much better, as Fair
banks was out in 35 and playing the
bye holes was back in 80, or IA for
the round, which is the best he has
done this year. Four years ago he had
a 60 to his credit, and several 70's
Today he had a possible Y up to the
last two holes, which he should have
had in each, but took 5.
The champion played fine, steady
golf with few errors. His opponent
was stronger on the tee shots, and
had a better reach with the irons,
but showed an inclination to get Off
the line. His putting in the afternoon
was good. Three times he ran them
down from off the green's. Fairbanks,
on the thirteenth hole in the after
noon, holed a 20-foot putt for a 5,
which is par there.

To HANDLE FREIGHT
BY SPECIAL PERMIT
Penneylven'a Puts New System
Into Operation by Which Ship
per Must Apply.

As a war emergency measure the Penn
sylvania lsailload system will at once put
INTO effect ON all Of it's lines east Of Pitts
burg, new plan of handling freight
under embargocs. The purpose is 10 render
every possible assistance to shippers and
consignees in securing transportation of
materials and supplies that are most urg-
emily required and also TO simplify the pro-
ccdure necessary to obtain authorization
for the movement OF essential freight IN
times of general en.baTgocs-
The new plan will be applied to the adj
mnistration of the present nbargoeS as
well as to All future embargocs that may
Be laid, until further notice 1t will prob
ably remain in effect for the duration II
the war and for ~ long thereafter as
necessity may exist for regulating freight
traffic IN order to control congestion
Under the new plan, during the exist
ence Of an embargo, freight will be hand
led through a system Of special permits
covering each individual shipment. A
radical change will be introduced by which
the consignec, and not the shipper Of the
freight must apply for the permit. This
changes completely the present system
under which either the shipper or the
consignec may apply for exceptions 70
eIhDaTROtS.
The essential feature Of the new plan
is that before authority will be granted to
move freight affected by embargo, the per-
son who is to receive the shipment must
demonstrate, 10 reasonable degree, two
things
/ That the shipment is necessary 10
meet hia existing requirements.
,. That he Will be able TO accept the
freight promptly on arrival, unload the
cars without delay and take the shipment
OF the railroad hands.
Two other i'm pOrtant changes viii he
made. All superintendents will be author
ized 10 grant permits for the movement Of
freight from point to point on their own
divisions: all general suprTIntendents Will
be authorized TO issue similar permits from
point TO point within their own grand
divisions
