FRAZEE MAY WIN
 HIS SERIES POINT

Chicago, Aug. N.---There will be no change in the schedule for the worlds series unless Harry Frazee, president of the Boston club, who protested against its alleged unfairness, ob- tains the consent of the War Depart ment to arrange special trains, Ban Johnson, president of the American League. said last night.
 Johnson said the schedule was drafted with the object of conforming with the governments transportation problems.
 However, I wired MT. Frazee that the commission might consider rear ranging it if he got the permission of the War Department to run trains as he suggested" said Johnson.
 Tt was our idea to conserve trans portation in every way possible. We decided to abolish the special trains for the clubs this year and also op- posed special trains for the usual crowd of rooters. We are even dis oouraging Chtcagoans from making the trip to Boston,"
 The suggestion of the National Commission that players donate 10 per cent. of their share of the series re- ceipts to war charities met with prompt action with members of the Chicago club, champions of the Ma tional League, who unanimously voted to comply with the suggestion.

SHIP"
 LAUNCHES ATTACK .ON GERMAN PLANT

With the Grand Fleet. Aug. 27.- Correspondence of The Associated Press) Visiting the Fleet this week King George inspected a mystery ship" which is a puzzle to the enemy. Reference to her peculiarities is off, cially restricted to the statement that "she is an airplane carrier
 This carrier was concerned in the recent attack on the airsheds at Ton dern. She reached a suitable point off the German coast in the small hours of the morning and a number of airplanes were sent up with the object of destroying Zeppelin hangars at Tondcrn.
 Captain Dixon arrived at Tondern in came so low in searching for hangars that at one time he was within 50 feet of the ground.
 He found Tondern very much asleep and flew over the main street unmo- tested, seeing only one human being on a farm cart who waved a cordial greeting.
 Observing what he believed to be a hangar, Captain Dixon released one bomb from height of 300 feet and received a shock when a munition dump exploded. He immediately made out the Zeppelin sheds and unloaded his remaining bombs which caused a fierce fire.
 A heavy barrage was then put up by the enemy but Captain Dixon flew off

MOVIE MOBSMEN
 NOT ESSENTIAL

Los Angeles, Aug. 27-Few, if any, motion picture plays containing "mob or crowd" scenes will be pro- duced in Los Angeles studios, accord ing to producers, if policy recently inaugurated by the police department of Los Angeles is carried out.
 The Police Department recently an- nounced its decision that appearing in Roman mobs, modern riots or wheat pit panics was not work essen- tial to the winning of the war and that participation in a sham battle for the films was not fighting in the sense intended by Provost Marshal General Crowder in his work or fight" order.
 The police order was directed at what the profession termed "extras' who were hired by the day, first by one company and then by another to provide atmosphere" Most of the men thus employed were of the age and class included in the police order. When the first warning was not generally observed it was repeated and by way of emphasis about a hundred , men waiting for employment at sev- eral studios within the city were ar- rested. Some Of these were taken be- fore their draft boards, others allow ed to look for more useful employment while a number were held on vagrancy charges.

quite regularly now that the tail end of the season is at hand.
 A large majority of the big league clubs will sustain financial losses this year. In the National League the only money makers are the Giants, Cubs and Pirates. The Braves, Reds, Robins and Cardinals are said to be the heaviest losers. The American League as a whole has fared better. The Red Sox, Clevelands, White Sox, White Sox and Washingtons will make some money, it is generally be- lieved. The Yankees may secure an even break, but the Tigers, Athletics and Browns doubtlessly will have gone in the hole" when the season ends. It is said that if the big leagues had followed the advice of Ban John son to end the season on Aug. 20, at least $50,000 in salaries would have been saved, with the players con- tracts cancelled on Sept. 1. Besides this, s5O,000 would have been saved in railroad fares and hotel bills.
 Yale, Harvard and Princeton have not arranged their football schedules yet, but they probably will fall into line at the proper time. Meanwhile schadules have been mapped out by other big institutions of learning, in cluding Pennsylvania, Cornell, An napolis, West Point, Syracuse, Wash ington and Jefferson, Pittsburgh, Dartmouth, Colgate, Lafayette, Penn State, Tufts, Georgetown, Williams Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Western Reserve, Illinois, Minnesota, Michi- gan and Chicago. There is no reason to doubt that Columbia, Fordham, New York University, Rutgers, Am herst, Wesleyan and other eastern colleges will be represented on the gridiron this fall. The fact that the naval and military academies will have teams as usual should hold foot ball immeasurably. The season will open in various parts of the country on Sept. 2, while training is now in full swing.

Paris, Oct 24.-COnferences of
transcedent Importance are now be
ing held between the allied leaders.
Public opinion is apparently crystal
izing as follows: Only a complete
capitulation will be sufficient as a
guarantee from the present German
authorities. Ambiguity OF the Ger,
man situation is still such that an
armistice proposition (which has not
been submitted to Generalissimo
Foch and the other allied generals)
is doubtful
1t is likely that this fact will form
the main contents Of the reply to be
sent by the entente powers to Presi,
dent Wilson.
There is complete accord between
the allies and the American execu-
tive. which fact is emphasized every
where.
