Tener Threatens to Quit National
Commission Unless Mack
Yields; Latter Refuses.

'Unless Connie Mack, of the Philadel-
phia Americans, turns Scott Perry,
pitcher, over to the Boston Nationals |
will quit the National Commission.
This statement was made yesterday by
John h. Tener, president OF the National
League, who is attending the Elks'
convention III Atlantic City
Mack reiterated that he intends to
retain the services OF Perry, irrespective
of the action of the National Commission
in awarding him to Boston.
Regardless of the merits of this par
ticular case said President Tcner, the
fact remains that the supreme court OF
baseball, whose rulings both leagues have
subscribed to and agreed to obey, has
decided that Pitcher Scott Perry rs the
baseball property of the Boston National
League club

HISTORY or FERRY CASE.
The decision of the National Commls-
sion in the Scott Perry case was announc-
cd In Cincinnati June IL. Because a
minor league was involved two additional
representatives sat in judgment upon the
case. The personnel of the commission
consisted of Chairman August Hermann,
president OF the Cincinnati National
League club; President Tencr. Of the
National League; B. B. Johnson, president
of the m ,rican League: J II Farrell,
secretary Of the National Association,
and r n Raugh, president of the South
ern Association.
The evidence submitted. upon which
Hermann. Tener and Farrell awarded
the services Of Perry to the Boston Ma
tionals, while johnson and Raugh did not
concur, showed, according 10 the com
missions report:
Perry was sold to the Boston Nationals 8
by the Atlanta Club of the southern
Association under an optional agreement
for $1,000 Perry deserted the Boston
club in June, 1917, after the latter or
ganization had paid $500 of the purchase
price Boston was assured Its rights
10 the player would be protected If Perry
ever returned 70 organized baseball.
Early in the present season the pitcher
returned to the Atlanta club and was sold
70 the Philadelphia Americans and is
playing with that club
When the decision Of the National
Commission was made public Connie
Mack. manager Of the Athletics, obtained
a court Injunction al Cleveland on juno
II preventing the Boston Nationals
from interfering with the activities of
Perry until the case could be argued on
its merits before the court and final

VACATION SEEKERS

There are some people who are never

home. They wander. all over the coun-
try for sight seeing, meanwhile ignoring
things in their own neighborhood that
are very notable. There are great
many that have never seen points Of In

from long distances to visit.
This year the government asks us to
forero railroad JOURNEYS as much as
possible. The railroads are needed for
transportation Of freight. Other years
will come when we can exercise our long
ines to roam around the country and see
distant sections.
So let the vacation seekers this sum-

spots within fifty miles Of here, where
summer board can be had. or a tent

will be just as blue, the air lust as life
giving. and the relief from labor just as
refreshing.
About all that is wanted for good va
cation is change Of scene and relief from
the worry and strain of work. That can
be had twenty-five miles from your home
town as well as $50 or $500.

THE RUSSIAN MENACE

The biggest problems Of the war is
Russia. Already reports are coming
that Russians are found fighting our
bows in France. If Germany can 60
ahead and make Russia fight and work
for her, the war is lost for US, no mat
ter what military victories are won in
France.
It may be necessary eventually to send
an army to Russia. But If we do the
Russians may turn right around and side
with the Germans.
In every Russian town there are Ger
man agents filling up the simple hearted
people with their lies. Why not form an
organization to tell the Russian people
the truth?
It has been announced that Russian
citizens Of the United States have volun-
teered an army of 100000 to fight for us
in France. They could help a lot in that
way. But they could help far more if
they were sent to Russia as individual
citizens, to counteract the German spies.
II we could put in every Russian town
representatives Of our people whose bus
mess it should be to work against the
German spies, to help the ignorant Rus
slams find out the truth about the Ger
mans; to deny the lies the Germans tell
about US, it would do more good than the
armies.
The Germans have succeeded with
their campaign in Russia because they
understood the Russian people; II we are
to win Russia back to our side to pre-
vent Russia from becoming an ally Of
Germany, we must take steps to under
stand the Russian people better. It is no
nse to try to set up any form Of govern
ment there that they do not want. We
must appeal to what reason they have,
and open their eyes to show them what
they win suffer If they become subject to
the Germans.
Literature in the Russian language,
motion pictures, truth telling represents
tives all over Russia, this is the kind Of
army We should send first.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

One Of the most frequent automobile
accidents occurs at railroad crossings,
when the mot0rist attempts to cross in
front Of q swiftly moving train. In the
days before automobiles people used to
get killed in the same way when driving
horses. Sensible persons learned that q
train at fifty miles an hour covers an
astonishing amount Of space within ten
seconds.
But when automobiles came along and
were themselves able to cover good deal
Of ground in ten seconds many people
got their sporting blood up. The aver
age motorist dislikes to slow up. If train
is seen some distance away, he takes the
chance where he would not with q horse.
But there is q lot Of difference between
fifty and twenty miles an hour, as q
great many motorists find out though
they may not live long enough to reflect
on their experience.
At many railroad crossings the trains
come from behind trees, buildings, or
cuts in the line so that they can not be
seen. The modern locomotive moves
pretty noiselessly, unless putting up a
grade. Its ordinary sound would not be
heard in an automobile above the noise
the motor makes.
There is an obligation upon locomotive
engineers approaching q crossing where
the track is not clearly visible from both
ends Of the road to blow their whistles
several times, SO as to give good warn
ing of their approach.
If the track at railroad crossing is
not clearly visible in both directions, and
lit is not protected by any gate or flag
man, it is much wiser for the automobile
party to stop and listen. It will take but
half moment, and they can easily make
up that loss Of valuable time. Automo-
biles never yet have been able to butt the
trains off the track, though they still
continue trying it with regrettable per-
sistency.

seen. It should be satisfaction to be-
come better acquainted with these COM
munities. We will find many friends in
common, get valuable information as to
the progress Of our own state. Incident
ally we shall save good deal Of money,
as well as to relieve the railroads from
something Of their burden.

PRODUCTION OF OIL

It is Of paramount importance that
there should be no interruption in the
production Of oil. The wild cater should
be encouraged to continue his activity In
the knowledge that his reward will not
be circumscribed. The producer should
be encouraged and urged to produce and
at q price which will return fair profit
upon his investment, keeping in mind the
hazards Of the industry.
In the foregoing, Mr.. Requa, with In
finite knowledge Of petroleum, paints
with true hand the situation Of the ma
! ton in regard to its need FOR crude petro-
leum. He paints, too, purely by adver-
sion to the position that will be taken by
the oil administration in relation to crude
petroleum prices, says the American Oil
Journal. wsss as.
Production Is paramount; price Is
nothing. A nation needing bread does not
pray for rain. It plants more acres. It
offers fitting reward to the men who are
to toll and sweat in its fields; who. offer
their land and their labor against the
vagaries of sun and the chances of for
tune to gain the reward.

who are to undertake the hazards of
finding it. The time to get it is now, not
later. One Of the surest and quickest
ways to get oil production at this time is
for congress to pass legislation now
pending. which will open up withdrawn
fields and give operators assurance that
their. investments will be respected. The
Oretical politicians have been blocking
western oil development for years and
it is high time they were brought to or.

Always Go Down
One End First

Theoretically a vessel might sink on
parallel keel. descending horizontally
deeper and deeper into the sea; but i.
never occurs in reality. This hypoth-
csis assumes that ship has taken in
at the bow exactly the same amount
Of water as at the stern, at exactly the
same distance from the centre of gray
ity; this, of course, is impossible.
Besides. the holes through which the
water is pouring in must also be z.
precisely the same level, or else the
water pressure would be greater at one
end than at the other. and the slight
est alteration Of level would occasion
greater intake Of water and upset the
equilibrium of the boat.
There is one other point | will touch
upon. 1t has often been asserted.
especially in romanccs of the ocean.
that as q ship sinks the suction creates
tremendous whirlpool which engulfs
all things iQ its vicinity. This state.
ment is naturally very much exagger-
ated. People swimming about may be
drawn down by the suction of the
laundering ship. but, in my opinion
no lifeboat which is we'll manned is
in danger Of this whirlpool.
Even old sailors, deluded bv this
superstition. have rowed away in haste
from q sinking ship. when they might
have stood by and saved many lives.

lime Of Sinking
Depends on Cargo

The velocity with which a ship sinks
depends on the size of the hold and its
distance from the ships centre of gray
ity' Tor the suction occurs more rapid
~ If the ship is struck at either end
than If the blow is delivered amid
ships.
We are seldom concerned with ships
having empty holds; those we pursue
usually carry heavy cargoes. and,
therefore. the water can only penetrate
",'nin' where space and air exist:
Whatever air is left around loosely
packed bales and boxes must be driven
out before the water can stream IN.
certain exceptional cargoes, like wool
and cereals. absorb a given amount. Of
water. but these can be discounted.
Accordingly the air must escape
through existing holes, as the water
pcuring IN drives the air into the hold:
the pressure with which the water
comes IN Is equal 10 the air pressure in
the hold. 49,
1t is quite conceivable that CARO-
may be so closely packed that there
VIII be no space left for air to cscape.
but TINS is hardly ever the case; fire.
uuently. however, the cross sections Of
the air vents are so small that the air
escapes only very slowly, and the water
eaters very slowly in the same ratio;
under these conditions it would take
long time for u ship to sink.
rms undoubtedly is very desirable
in peace time, but in time Of war this
is not at all agreeable to our purpose:
frs, ii the found ring of the vessel is
prolonged we are prevented from ac-
conlplshing other work, and, secondly.

Whenever possible we found il OK
pedient to break open with an axe big

could not be quickly enough removed:
or, ii circumstances did not permit OF
our doing this. we shot holes with our
cannon into the upper part Of the
steamer, above the hold, so that the
