tracts and pay the players for the sea-
son, thus holding them for next sea-
son, but this would necessitate a large
expenditure of money with no return,
and it is doubtful if more than one or
two of the clubs could afford to do it.
There arc many players who have
been tied up to contracts with clubs
season after season who could COM
mand larger salaries with other clubs,
but have been unable to break their
contracts. Nothing would suit these
players better than to get a chance
to be III position where half a dozen
managers would be trying to outbid
one another for their services.
The club owners are now trying to
devise some scheme to hold their
players when they arc compelled to
break their contracts because of the
new draft order. It is expected that
the National commission will take up
the matter within a short time. Ma
turally the club. owners are doing no
slight amount Of worrying after being
compelled to break contracts with the
players, and will make every effort to
effect some arrangement so as to be
able to have first claim on their serv-
ices after the war.

MAY FREE PLAYERS
Big League Club Owners Believe
Present Contracts Worthless If New
Ruling by CToWder Affects Game.

New York June 3.-With less than
a month left before the government
puts into effect the new draft rule
which may force baseball players to
give up the game and take up some
essential war work. the club owners
are all topsy turvy about what action
to take with the players contracts. A
condition confronts baseball which
may disrupt the entire structure of the
game. The club owners may be COM
PEELED to operate the ten days reserve
clause in the players contracts. thus
releasing all claim to the players
services. With all the star players
of the game free agents, the players
can hold themselves aloof when they
are released from military service and
sign with the club bidding highest for
their services.
BY releasing the players on ten days
notice, the club cannot hope to hold
their men by the reserve clause, which
gives them first call on their players
services for the following season,
Baseball men have figured the situa-
ton out in a way which will make 4
possible for the prosperous clubs to
corral all the star players when the
war is over. This state Of affairs is
the very thing which the reserve clause
has prevented in the past and made
it possible for clubs to hold their star
players.
1t may be possible that some of the
richer clubs may live up to the con-

OUR BATTLESHIPS
AWAIT ENEMY EXIT
Given Post Of Honor When Ger
man Fleet Was Expected

New York, June 3.-When, a few
!. days ago, the British received word
that German battleships were about to
come out from their hiding for a great
battle on the high seas, the British
navy heads gave the first class Ameri
can battleships a post of honor in
preparation for the attack.
Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves, head
of american transport and cruiser OPP
STATIONS, made this statement before
the forum of the church of the Ascen-
sion, 10th street and Fifth avenue,
last night
Isl am within the limitations of
orders when I say that the United
states has a large Der of first
CLASS battleships now preparing side
by side with the best ships of the
British navy for an engagement on
TIE high seas which is expected to
occur at any time with the German
feet the speaker said, prefacing his
narration Of the honor accorded
American fighting ships when an en-
gagement was expected
1--WE have about $50 vessels over
there and between $4,000 and 10000
men aboard them" the admiral said
we now have a navy of 10000 Of
f3cers and more than 100000 men
This IN cans that We have a navy four
times greater than 1t was just before
we entered this war"
= Many questions were asked of the
admiral One was as to the practi-
caoility Of carrying airplanes on
cruisers Admiral Gleaves said:
w. 'fAll navies have experim ented
along such a line, but the airplanes
are SO fragile they are often put out
Of commission by the discharge of the
big guns of a cruiser. It is difficult
to get them on and off the mother ship.

BRITISH LINE STRENGTHENED
 DURING NIGHT
 WITHDRAWAL
Fresh Troops Save Ervillers
 by Desperate Counter Ai-
 tacks While Teutcns Are Bringing Up New Armies

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. March 26 (Ey the AssOci- ated Press) The Germans today fol- lowed up their progress of yesterday at Nesle on the southern battle iron. by launching a terrific assault against the British along line running. rough ly. between HattencOurt and the re- zion of Rove. The British. cO-operat- ing with their French allies. werU meeting the onslaught doggedly and sallantly. and a sanguinary struggle was in progress this afternoon.
 Forther north the enemy also devei- oped a fresh offensive movement 60 the south of Suzanne, which lies a little northeast of Bray-Sur-SOmme. But the Germans were pushing with less strength here than in the south ern theatre, possibly for stratgetical reasons.
 These two sectors were the scene Of most importahC operations today. although fighting vas in progress along the whole great battle front. In the northern sector. about Achiet- le-Grand. LOgeast wood and north ward. where such desperate fighting was waged yesterday. the Germans had not renewed their attacks Tn strength at a late hour this forenoon. The allies today probaciy were in bet ter condition to contest the German advance than they had been since the beginning Of the offensive.
 The capture of Nesle yesterday by the enemy was achieved after heavy fighting over a considerable front. The Germans advanced in strength both north anG south of the town and bv pressing the defending lines back in these places formed Q salient from which the allies were forced 10 with draw. leaving Nesle Tn the hands of the enemy. Heavy fighting today in this section was forecast by the ap- resrdncc of new masses of troops 'vhics the Germans brought up ready for anctNer push.
 The fighting on Sunday and Monday in the neighbOrhoOd of Ervillers was most bitter. Throughout Sunday night and the early hours Monday, the Ger mans kept pressing against the stub bOrnly cOntending British who fought with such desperation against over whelming odds that they repelled the Onrushing infantry. After breathing spell in the early mornign the Ger mans again made a heavy assault be- tween Ervillers and GOmiecourt and were caught in the British artillery barrage and crushed.
 A little later the enemy advanced once more and stormed the position with such ferocity that it was feared Ervillers must go. Fresh British troops were sent up and carried out an immediate counter attack, relieving the situation.
 The enemy. finding the road barred through this place. began hammering hard below Gomiecourt. in the region of Sapignios. The British line south of this place had already swunng back to the west and finally it became ap- parent that it would be policy to with draw from Ervillers. Gomiecourt and SapigDiers and straighten out the front. This was done during the night the withdrawal being effected in good order
