EY JACK kEENE.

It will be months before any def.
mite dope on the lineup Of the major
league clubs can be obtained. The
PLAYERS who entered the service are
scattered through every branch and
classification OF 1t. The teams which
have a great number of players over
seas will have the most difficult job
of planning next seasons roster.
The Brooklyn club furnishes good
example.
According to an eastern scribe the
Robins have eighteen men in service
and most OF them are in France. The
ball season may be under way before
all Of these return.
The members Of the club who are
known to be over there now are Lieut..
Leon Cadore. Sherrod Smith, John
Miljus, Clarence Mitchell, Chuck
Ward, Thomas Fitzsimmons, Lewis
Malone, John Kelleher and Raymond
Schmandt. OF these, the players who
will figure largely in the rebuilding
of the team are Pitchers Cadore and
Smith, and Infielders Schmandt and
Ward The players now in thenavy
are Rube Marquard, Burleigh Grimes,
Ernest Kruger. JEFF Pfeffer, Eugene
Sheridan, Jimmie Hickman, Harry
Heitman and Dick burning. John Rus
sci, a southpaw. Is at Camp Upton. 1t
Is likely that Russell will leave Upton
soon. and he may be followed by Mar
guard and Grimes. These two twirl-
ers are with the mine sweepers' aggre-
cation at the Brooklyn navy yard.
It Is almost certain that some of
the men who finished out the 1918
season will be missing from the roster
of next years club.
Jack Combs has retired from the
diamond, and Jake Daubert, who is
now bringing suit against the club
for unpaid salary, may not be offered
another contract. Mickey Doolan is
another player who may be among
the missing. II Shmandt is home in
time he will probably succeed Daubert
as the Robins first baseman. Ray
was secured as a first sacker, but
wa0p called upon to fill up the gap at
the middle station during the training
season last spring. Ollie OMara may
be moved from third to second and
Chuck Ward or some one Of the other
hfielders now In the service will be
placed at third.

ball in the Western league Is to be re-
established on a pre-war basis at a
meeting of the club owners to be held
here soon after the annual meetings
Of the major leagues. Edward Hanlon
acting president of the league, has an
nounced that the call for meeting
would be issued shortly.

changed somewhat because Of poor
patronage in some cities last season.

league will resume operations next
May.

ports, will be retained in the league,
with Jack Holland at the head Of the
club. The Joplin franchise, 1t is ex-
pected, will be moved to Tulsa, Okla,

Counselled Purchase

James NJ. Clifford, attorney for the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical Com
pany, explained yesterday, at the in
quiry being conducted by ATTORNEY
General Merton E Lewis to determine
whether this and two other chemical
concerns are German owned, that the
officers Of the company were acting on
his advice when they completed the
transfer of stock from German to
American ownership after the sever
ance of diplomatic relations.
Mr.. Clifford said he told them it
was his opinion the transaction would
be legal if the deal had been agreed
upon in good faith before the law
prohibiting such dealings was enacted.
Ihls explanation was volunteered hur-
rledly by Mr.. Clifford while William A.
Hamann, treasurer of the Roessler &
Hasslacher Company was being ques-
toned by Assistant Attorney General
Alfred Becker.

contradictory explanation to the
effect that he had given the officers
of the company advice on the SUBJ ect.
The other two chemical concerns un-
der Investigation because of suspected
enemy ownership are the Perth Am boy
Chemical Plant and the Niagara Elec-
tro-Chemic Company.
Mr.. Hamann explained, when ques-
toned by his lawyer, Mr. Clifford, that
when he reported to the Alien Enemy
Property Custodian that purchase Of
control of the chemical companies had
been made in January, 1917. Actually
the control of the companies was not
purchased until February 10, 1917. This
was eight days after the severance of
diplomatic relations

Paul MauSolH, treasurer OF the
Perth Amboy Company, made a similar
mistake in making out report for the
Custodian of Alien Enemy Property
He gave the date of purchase of con-
troll by Americans as January, 1917
also. Actually the stock was trans
ferred February 49,
