.HUN-IRISH
PLOTTING
DISCLOSED


LONDON, May 20.--With the
number of Sim Feiners under
arrest in various parts of Ireland
estimated at from 100 to 500 to-
day and the situation apparently
well in hand, it came to light
that the German government has
intrigued for an Irish rebellion
ever since the war began.
Even after failure of the plot
instigated by Sir Roger Case
ment, Chatterton Hill, a rene
gade Irish editor, financed by
Germany, published in Prussia a
magazine to aid propaganda for
an Irish republic.
st. John Gaffney discharged
U. S. consul to Germany, is al
legged to have been among the
chief propagandists for Germany.
He is said to have gone to
Stockholm last summer to get
Dutch and Scandinavian social
lists to support an Irish republic.
He carried, 1t is said, quantities
of violent anti-British and pro-
German literature.
All the chief plotters are now
believed to be in custody.
Forty-six Sim Feiners, includ-
ing Edward Devalera, arrested in
connection with the alleged pro-
German plot, have arrived in
England aboard a British war
ship. Seventy others are ex-
pected today.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20.
President Wilson this week will
name Maj. Gen. Peyton C. March
a full general and chief of staff.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, now
chief Of staff and American rep
resentative on the Versailles coun-
ell, will become a brevet general.
These important changes mean
vastly more than merely the
honor to March of wearing the
rare insignia-fOur shoulder
stars: they spell the removal of
restrictions on him as acting
chief which he encountered be-
cause some other major general
outranked him.
Secretary Baker In conference
with senators Saturday found
that March's nomination would
pass quickly and without opposi-
ton.
He's a Live Wire.
Baker was told the senate
thinks very well of March, who
has demonstrated in his brief
tenure as acting chief that he is
a live wire" with no respect for
red tape and with a hearty hatred
for delay or inaction.
For March the change Is mo-
mentous. Coming in from his post
of artillery chieftain with Gen.
Pershing he found that he was
balked-either consciously or un-
cOnsciously-by the seniority rule,
and that major generals who out
ranked him sometimes stood in his
path.
March's record here is one of
startling achievements, despite
obstacles.
Gets More Ships.
To him, perhaps, more than to
any other man, is due the credit
Of increasing ship facilities so that
the speeding up Of American troop
movements could be accomplished.
When he returned from Europe,
he called in war leaders and read
them the dictum that there must
be more ships.
Appointment of Maj. Gen. Goe-
thals as chief of transportation
supplies and traffic was an out
come of this problem, and be-
tween the two men systems of
economy of space were developed
and ships were picked up from
unexpected quarters Of the globe.
Goethals and March are fast
friends and are working in the
closest harmony.

Next season the American As- sociat,on plans to inaugurate a novel scheme. One cent of every paid admission to the contests will be laid aside by the clubs and at the end of the season the total amount will be divided among the players of the first seven clubs. It is expected that the pool will amount to about $15,O0O. The team finishing first will receive 30 per cent, while the others will get 22, 16, 12, 10, 0 and 4 per cent. The plan will tend to keep the interest in the race at high pitch right up to the final day of the season.

Silk O'Loughlin
 Best Liked Umpire
 Dies of Pneumonia

Boston, Dec. 21-Frank H. "Silk" O'Loughlin, famous as an American League umpire, died at his apartment here yesterday after short illness, of influenza and pneumonia. Pneumonia set in last Friday.
 O'Loughlin had umpired for the American League since It's organiza- tion, and he had long been rated as one of the picturesque figures in the baseball world. His Ball Tuh," his long drawn out "S r 1 k e" and "Foulder" were known the country over. These and a series of other eX- clamations, accompanied by gestures, to indicate a player was safe or out at base were peculiar to O'Loughlin.
 The rules committee of the game passed up the gesture idea when base ton of a uniform system of making clear the decisions of an umpire, but O'Loughlin continued his methods with improvements.
 He was born in Rochester, N. Y, 4S years ago. His entry into basehal: came through the assistance of rela- tive, Stump" Weldman, former league pitcher. After umpiring about New York state, he was assigned to the Atlantic League by Ed Barrow, now manager of the Boston Red Sox who was then president of that league Later, O'Loughlin was with the East ern League four years, and in 1902 was appointed by Ban Johnson as an American League umpire. In 1904 Silk received the Democratic nom- | ination for State Senator from Ro- | chester.
 | Since the close of the baseball sea- son last fall, O'Loughlin had been ir 1 the service of the Department of Jus tice, and was assigned to work in the Boston district His wife survives l him.
 O'Loughlin is the third prominent American League umpire to pass away in the last few years. The other two were Tim Hurst and Jack Sher. | idan.

Former Conn. Champ
 Loses to Welling

Providence, R. l., Dec. 20-Joe Wellings unmerciful infighting beat Chick Brown, the New Haven sailor, former lightweight champion of Con- tnecticut, so badly here last night that Referee Gardner stopped the bout in the seventh round of a scheduled F round go. Brown was still on his feet, but he was badly dazed and punched into a stupor by the Chicago lightweights deadly rights to the stomach and chest, and with the crowd yelling for knockout the ref cree decided to be merciful and stop ped the fight.
 Brown was able to walk to his cor ner after the bell sounded, and while he appeared weak, he was able to move about normally.
 Brown Nearly Won
 Brown nearly won by the knock out route in the third round, and as he rained in dozens of wicked left swings to the jaw of the little Windy City lad, it appeared certain that Yelling must drop. Brown started his jaw-breaking tornado in the second, and took this round cas- ily but it was in the third round that he made his best showing. II was with difficulty that Yelling last ed the round.
 In the fourth round Yelling had recovered, and he won by a shade after much sparring. Starting with the fifth round, Wellings lead was great and as he tore into Browns body at close range it appeared cer- tain that the sailor boy must givt ground. He was unable to effectively return the blows at close quarters. IT the sixth Brown was weakening, anC after one minute of fighting in thu seventh. the referee gave the sigma to stop the fight.
 Weakened by Rubbing
 Brown was undoubtedly weakened by his effort to make the weight which was 136 pounds at o'clock When he stepped on the scaie though, he weighted exactly 137 1-2 SRelling failed to tip the beam.

WON'T GO OVERSEAS

Hughie Jennings, manager of the Detroit club, has been &C., eepted as an overseas secretary for the Knights of Columbus, but it is not likely that he will go to France. When Jennings made his application for the post, seV- eral months ago, he assumed that the war would last through next summer and that, in consequence, there would be no baseball. Since then mighty changes have been brought about, and it was report cd froIn Detroit a day or two ago that Hughie would lead the Tigers again in 1919. Favorable action has just been taken on the pep pery managers application by the K. of c. officials, and he has been advised of the fact, but at the headquarters of the organization in New York it is believed that he will not accept the position.

 READY ID
 BID HIGH

Wm. Farnsworth in the New York nerican has the following to say bout Ty Cobb being sold to the nericans for record price:-
 Miller Higgins, manager of the hnkees, pulled out from these .ores yesterday afternoon for his pme in Cincinnati, where he will en- y the holidays. Before boarding le train he announced that he was Fter another veteran outfielder. Hug refused to divulge the name the gardener, however.
 From some real Inside info" we armed that no other than the fam us Tyrus Cobb is one of the men nat Huggins seeks. The other is said be Happy Felsch, of the White ox We asked Hug about these two ars, but his only reply was:
 wouldn't I be lucky if I landed ne of those birds?'
 Now that Leonard, Shore and Lewis ave become members of the Yankees rolonel Jacob Ruppert has visions of
 pennant. But the wealthy owner of he local Americans realizes that tc
 
 nust secure at least one more high lass outfielder.
 Ready to Pay Price
 The colonel has put it right up tc Iuggins to get the man he desires The price makes no difference to Rup. bert. If Hug can purchase the "Geor' gia Peach" no matter what price he Detroit club demands the colone will hand over certified check.
 What a card Cobb would be ir New York! It has been estimated that million and half out-of- town CTS arrive in the city each day. Sup posing one per cent of them were attracted to the Polo Grounds by Cobb's presence. That would add fiji teen hundred fans, and their averag 'tap" was seventy-five cents, it would mean about $1,10O daily to the cof fers of the club.
 Cobb doesn't want to return to De troit. He will demand the same sal ary he drew last year, which is saiC to be $20,OOO It is known tha clear to pay such a salary the com ing season. He must retrench an if the Yankees can see their wa, clear to pay $6O,OOO or s7O,OOO fo Ty it's a sure thing Navin will par with the star.
 Perhaps Higgins plans to stop of in Detroit and have a talk with Nav in before he returns here for the join meeting of the National and Ameri can Leagues on January 16.

Bakers Contract Ends
 He Retires From Game

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 21-J. Frank lin Baker, the Trappe mauler, has made up his mind not to play ball next, season but to remain on his farm near this city. However, there is every reason to believe that before the season of 1919 rolls around he will be a member of the Yankees.
 Before the 1915 season opened the 'fhome run king signed three year contract with the Yankees calling for an annual salary of $9,666.67. The contract expired at the clost of last season and Baker is going to be asked to sign a new one soon.

An effort had been made to match the men for fight at the National Sporting Club of London or Albsrt's Hall in London. but Kane said he could not make any ar engagements for Gibbons until after he had a talk with him about the terms of the match.

DID M. HUCCINS
 "CYP" THE WIN?

One highly diverting feature of Mil Ter Huggin's trading features is that they seldom fail to provoke a wide range of comment, some of it com plimentary to the modern David Harum, some of it extremely critical. Yankee fanatics mulled over last winters deal with the Browns until the 1919 campaign was well-nigh spent, and his latest venture in the bartering line has stirred up an even greater volume of debate.
 Local opinion appears to be about evenly divided as to whether Hug- gins hornswoggled Barrow or Bar row bilked Huggins.
 Boston, however, is rather inclined to take rather pessimistic view of the trade.

The Winchester Repeating Arms Go. has already laid off several thousands and is preparing to lay off nearly 10,- 900 more.
