valuable library, especially a certain case whose contents are worth their weight" as the saying goes; and in front of this, as a suitable screen or cover, they placed a life-siZe portrait of another famous Pilgrim, Lord Rob- erts, and no more popular figure than "Bobs" could grace an assemblage of service men.
 The committee made further altera- tions in the same key. They stored much of the costlier and more cum- brous furniture and replaced it with an ample supply of cozy armchairs and lounges. And with shrewd eye to their surroundings, as we'll as the cal iber of the men who are to put them to use, the committee have seen that everything imported, whether for use or ornament, answers to the demands of taste as well as utility, with the re- suit that every room, from the dining room to the card rooms and the office, looks as if it were planned in the piece, and a member of this new club, therefore, can invite a guest with the feeling that he is doing the honors of a great house and not a compromise between a hotel and an institution. AhCA . 10 AOl11AAS O4 lAc SIcTCOIyp6u UT codified caravanseral about Leconfield house.
 Without any conscious effort whatso- ever in this direction. the committee has certainly contrived a result which leaves no room for qualms as to the hospitable effect produced. It is re corded of the last Earl of Egremont al- ready mentioned as the patron of Turn CT and Constable and many great ar tist besides, that on his recovery from illness he celebrated the fact by en- tertaining four thousand people to din her, and such was his reputation as host, that half again this number of his humber neighbors attended in ad- dition nor were they mistaken in their man, for he sent out orders at once and made room for them all. In a house where such large traditions reign, ie would be out of place to put the new inmates to any inconvenience or uneasineSS as to terms, so there is to be no subscription, and though 1t is considered wise to institute a modest scale of tariff charges, 1t would come nearer the aims and ideals of the con- mittee to offer "open house. if this were possible. As one of the commit tee said to me, "We want to lose mon- ey on it, instead of making it," and this expresses the originating idea in an ap- propriate spirit.
 There is to be no embargo upon mem- | bershfp. So long as a man holds a commission in the United States army or navy he Is a welcome member dur ing his stay in this country, and the hope is, as the membership grows, to make the scheme keep pace with the | demand by bringing neighboring houses into the scheme, with Leconfield house | as headquarters and a social center. | But the ruling idea is not limited to Mayfair or even to London by any means. It is hoped, and all the evil dence are tending to justify that hope, that the club will prove a stepping

stone into the best society in the king
 dom, and that well-known hosts anu
 owners of great houses in town anu
 country who have q trout stream or
 a golf course or a bit of good Shootlng
 at their disposal will come forward ana
 offer a weekend as often as possible
 to a party of guests from LecOnnelo house. Distinguished Pilgrims on this side are setting the example. TO thS end, an information bureau has been started in order to put every memDer so desirous in touch with round or
 golf, a game of tennis or polo or rack cts, days shooting or fishing. or car ride as far as the present reguia- ton supply of petrol allows. An Amer ican bar adds to the verisimilitude or the scheme, and an expert dispenser of the Bacchic mysteries has been put in charge; while the lounges and the library are already reeking with all the best and iveliest periodicals or both hemispheres. Once week there
 will be ladies' night, with ladies' hospitality committee in charge Of the arrangement.
 The first thing that struck me as en- tered was the grouping of colors at the head of the staircase, and this slgne of a well-hung Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes blent in the vivldest and newest of silk and in complete repose, took on a healthy aspect or permanence. Usually in London you see them flying mast-high above our best-known buildings on royal birth day or the Fourth of July, but to see them grouped like this everyday Of the week about the bust of PallaS, goddess of defense at the head of the hand some main staircase, lent a touch or delicious completeness to everything The same thoroughneSS has been car ried out in the fitting of the billiard ta- bles, with an eye to the fine points or difference between the American and the English game; and upstairs on the bedroom floor, every touch is there to remind a guest on waking that he IS not roughing it in a "dug-Out" but talk ing his ease vast deal nearer nome
 All this dawned upon you without enforcement during an invitation visit the other day, and the quality of the lunch and it's presentment were sui ficient reinsurance as to the cuisine, the service and the cellar. MT. Harry B. Britain, perhaps the best-known Pilgrim, presided as chairman of the club and the hardest worker in connec- tion with 1t, and he showed in his re- marks of welcome how enthusiastically the project has caught on with his brother members ever since Lord Le- confield set the ball a-rolling. He spoke of the everlasting debt of gratitude he owed Americans since the day when he landed on your shores, an adven- ture-loving Oxford graduate twenty years ago, only to find, apparently, that America had no conception what the word stranger meant. He added that he was ambitious, he and his fellow promoters, of making the club a link of the highest value between the two countries and the two services-a means of repaying the great and many kindnesses that British visitors have received out WeSt-and a medium of sympathy not merely in connection with the war but everything else that appeals to English-speaking men today.

greeted by a mingling of boos and cheers.
 The source of the strike may be traced back to last winter when the national commission offered a new suggestion of splitting worlds series gate receipts. by which all first divi- sion players would participate. This scheme was approved by both the National and American leagues. To- days strike was to prevent other first division players in the National and American league from getting any of the money.
 Before the game the players pre- sented an ultimatum to the national commission that they would not go. on with the series unless the winners were guaranteed $1,500 each and the losers $1,000 each. This practically would have eliminated the sum set aside for the other teams.
 New Division of Money.
 Taking the players share of 1917, which amounted to $152, ,888.58, as a criterion, the national commission de- cided last winter to give fiat sums of $2,0OO to each member of the world s championship team and $40 to each member of the vanquished team. The rest was to be divided among the other first division players.
 However the players share, which amounts to 50 per cent, of the re- ceipts of the first four games, was down to 69,527.70, the lowest it has been in years. The commission there fore announced the winners would get s1,20O apiece and the lwosers $500, which started all the rumpus
 A players committee, consisting of Hooper and Charley Wagner of the Red Sox and Leslie Mann and Bill Killifer of the Cubs waited on Garry Hermann of the national commission in the morning, asking that the play CTS purse be split as in former years. 60 per cent to the winners and 40 to the losers. Hermann promised the players to render a decision before the game.
 However. on conferring with Presi- dent Johnson of the AmerCa1 leagua and Secretary Bruce of the national commission, Hermann said he would render hIs decision after the game. The players heard of this when they reaChe the clubhouse and refused to put on their uniforms. It was th'n that the players delivered their ulti~ matnnl.
