KAISER GIVEN NEEDED ROAST
 BY MINISTER

Rev. J. J. Patton was the four min ute speaker at the Empress last night and he took for his subject "the sub- marine IS menace" Rev. Patton said:
 Civilization, of which you and l are a part, has been passing through the most trying days of it's history. The danger has not been from those sources of past centuries, namely the "Terrible Turk" but member of ciy- ili2ation's family itself has fallen from his high state of humanity to such an extent that the member has treated the very laws that she helped to con- ceive and bring into existence, with utter contempt.
 The Kaiser as he is, surrounded with self-centered advisors, has led his subjects to believe that they are virtually destined to rule the world. in or,.er to accomplish this they have proceeded to build up such military machines as the world has never known. Tn the meantime the Kaiser sent intriguing diplomats to the var ious nations oi the earth to foster the blessed thought of the brotherhood of nations and the honor sDicresS of miii- to,,,- ,,ranoradnacc
 "The Kaiser, in order to finally ac- complish his worldwide scheme, has used various engines of destruction never before fully tested in a great war; the chief of the these is the mill tary submarine. This instrument, used as it is for the blockading ot foreign ports without other means of conveyance, at once becomes the most cruel and inhuman device of death that ever evolved from brutal ized human mind.
 ''The Kaiser has failed thus sar in his boasts. He has failed to within a few months to humiliate England and bring her to her knees and thus wiring from her a peace on Germany's own terms. He has failed in his attempt to fnghten commercial mariners from the high seas. He has failed to so re- duce the mercantile tonnage to such an extent that England would starve. He has succeeded in convincing the whole world that the Kaiser is not waging war of mere defense but rather of aggression with the sole pur- pose of supremacy. He has succeed ed in bringing woeful state of pow erty in many quarters of the earth, so that hundreds, thousands and even mil lions of men, women and children have met death by starvation. He has suc- ceeded in impressing the fireside of every truly patriotic home throughout the whole world the necessity of sa- crifice in order that the Allies may be given food in order to sustain their strength until they eventually over come this giant military octopus

KERENSKY IS WAITING HIS
 TIME TO ACT

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6. Vlad- imir Baranovsky of Petrograd, who said he is related by marriage to former Premier Alexander Kerensky, arrived with his wife from the former realms of the Car.
 He says he took prominent part in the Russo-Japanese War and acted in an advisory capacity to the Russian naval forces in the present war.
 Baranovsky is the son of munition manufacturer known as the "krupp of Russia" He is here to study Amer ican railroads, later to introduce American methods in the rehabilita- ton of the Russian-Siberian lines. His sister is the wife of Kerensky, he said.
 The Bolsheviki rule in Russia can not last long, in the opinion of the the visitors, who said Kerensky is in hid ing, awaiting an opportunity to as- sert himself and gain the upper hand.
 "Kerensky is a strong man and a very sick onc," said Mrs. Baranovsky. He is the strongest Russian. l was the last to see him before he fled to Finland to escape the Bolsheviki.
 "He stood it as long as he could and did his best to guide the Russian ship of state, even standing out against the sacrifice of his life. The Bolsheviki do not represent Russia"

Thousands of men and women are
anxiously awaiting this day to ar
rive as 1t means an afternoon OF
continuous pleasure and sport for

The committee on arrangements
has mapped out an elaborate pro-
gram for the occasion and as far as
IL can be seen not a dull event is on
the program.
The affair is booked as the Navy
Yard field day. but it could be
classed as a merry melange Of good
things. for on the program, other
events besides those Of an athletic
nature are placed on the list.

! ment Recreational League. under
whose auspices the field day is held
announced that in order to make the
field day a success $3.50 in thrift
stamps will be given the winners in
the various races.
Besides the races. which, by the
way. will range from a 50-yard dash
down to the fat mans race, there
will be other events for those.
whose minds do not run in this di-
rection and il will consist OF mill
tary drills. signal displays, music
and dancing.
In the athletic end the birls too
will have their share IN the spoils,
| for various races have been carded
| them. The Toys in their uniform
! have not been overlooked either
! and they too will have their races.
1t must be distinctly understood that
no mix events are on the program,
and each entrant will be classed ac-
| cording to his or her weight and
! size. so that every one may have an

KNELL Is
| now TOLLING
Something Definite Must
Be Settled by Moguls as
Game Is in Air.

Unless something il done immedi-
ately to revive public interest in base
ball. the major leagues will not last
until September /. This becomes more
and more certain every day.
Instead Of receiving the stimulus
which was expected to follow the
definite settlement of the status Of the
game by Secretary Baker. the teams
have been going down, both In the
quality of baseball and in the crowds
they are drawing. Many of the clubs
are operating at loss and their
owners are willing to get out OF 1t
as soon as possible.
The worlds series Is up In the air.
The national commission has ap-
parently died a natural death.
Fandom has lost interest in the
pennant races, and the players them
selves are performing on the diamond
in a mechanical sort Of way and seem
more interested in securing essen
tial" employment than in baseball.
Something should be done imme-
diateely. Set a definite day for the
gates to close.
The crowds are far below normal
and the figures can not be ignored.
Last Saturday the Red SoX playing
I'm Chicago, which has always been
one of the best drawing cities in the
major leagues, played before less
than 1.5OO people. On Sunday there
were only a few thousand at the
park.
The Yankees and Tigers played be-
fore less than a thousand spectators
in Detroit yesterday. and the same
sized crowd today.
In Cleveland, where there should be
the best support since the Indians are
within striking distance of the PEN
nant, the Yankees played on Friday.
their opening game. to less than 1000
fans. Saturday brought out about
5000 and Sunday for a scheduled
double-header only 5000. Early in the
season Cleveland drew some Of the
best crowds in the American League
circuit.
In the East the same conditions ex-
ist: the Giants drew less than .Oo30,
including uniformed men who were
admitted free. for yesterdays game
In Brooklyn the Dodgers drew only a
few hundred yesterday.
In Boston the Braves, who drew such
pOOE CTONuS dI StdII VI lliC ctd-
son, are drawing less ,now.
Conditions in Philadelphia and St.
Louis are not any better. Neither the
Athletics nor Phillies can bring out
crowd in Philadelphia. which was
at one time the best baseball city in
the United States.
The figures show that the clubs can
not be paying expenses. Already one
has openly stated that he is ready
to quit as soon as he can get out.
Ban Johnson sounded the keynote
to the situation yesterday when he
declared that the worlds series would
be cleared out of the way before
September /. There Is now some talk
of setting August u as the closing
date. At this time the clubs ere
scheduled to start on another tour.
which will mean added expense.
The worlds series, IL played at all,
will probably be a private enterprise
engineered by the two clubs finishing
at the top of the list. 1t looks now
as though there would be no chance
for the National Commission to come
to life long enough-+to manage the
classic.

BRITISH LOOK WITH FAVOR
ON BASEBALL AS THE SPORT

The fact that the King Of England
was coached by Arlie Latham to
pitch the first ball in. the July 4th
baseball game between Uncle Sans
boys in London is accepted as strong
evidence that the national game of
America rapidly is gaining a foot
hold in the land of our British ally.
Among others who are taking a
deep interest in our pastime is the
Duke of Portland.
Four thousand persons saw the
game at Nottingham. at which the
Duke of Portland threw out ,the first
ball, and at the end of the contest.
according to a report issued by the
Y. NJ. C. A., he said:
Now that we have seen the great
American game of baseball we ap-
preciate its excellence. We shall
come again and again to hear more
about it, and we hope that baseball
will be one of the means of cement
ing more firmly the friendship of our
two peoples"
The Y. NJ. c. A. in its recent PAM
phlet on overseas baseball has the
following to say of the games played
in London on July 4:
THE spectators enjoyed the yelling
of the teams supporters fully as
much as they did the game. The
spoke of the staccato
shouting of the soldiers on the side
lines and amusingly commented on
the increase in noise as crises in the
game developed"
The tumult and the shouting of
the sailors and the soldiers rather
amazed many a native at that first
game at Highbury. As one of the

- Boston. July 30.-The race for the
American League batting champion
ship is all over. and the crown
again goes to Ty Cobb. the greatest
player of them all. Six weeks ago
Ty was battling to keep his place
above the 800 mark. and the fans
were debating whether the honor
would go to Georg Sisler. Babe Ruth
or some less notable sticker. Then
Tyrus began to hit, and now he is
up around the $50 mark with the
season only a few weeks to go. He
can take a slump and still have
enough to win the batting cham
pionship by a good margin. Ty has
the habit of finishing strongly. and
it will not be surprising IL he climbs
above the 400 mark before the sea-
son ends. He has been hitting well
above that mark since he began
his squirt some weeks ago.
