AS has happened In 30 many reverses

NATIONALS DISCUSS
BASEBALL TROUBLES
Favor Seasons Windup on
Sept. 1-Dreyfuss to Act
With Rival League.

The rival National League attrac-
ton. scheduled for to-day--a meeting
called by President Tener for New
York and another to which Garry Herr
mann sent invitations In Cleveland
will not be held, inasmuch as the Ma
,Ional League took time by the fore
lock and held its maeting yesterday
at local National League headquar-
ters
Only Ave clubs--New York, Brook
,vn Philadelphia. Boston and Pitts
hurr-were represented. Both Presi-
dsnts Hickey of st. Louis and Weegh-
man Of Chicago advised the league they
rould not be present at the meeting
even II il was held on Saturday, while
Hermann already announced he would
po 10 the Cleveland meeting Of the
commission and would ignore the Ma
tionals.
u was the sense of the meeting that
M National League games should be
PLAYED after September 2. but that q
worlds series should be played as
usual after that date.
Barney Dreyfuss was sent to the
American League meeting in Cleveland
with full powers to act for the Ma
t,onal League in all matters pertain
ing to change In schedule, dates OF
terminating the season and arrange
ments for carrying on the worlds
series.
II may be noted that while the
lea que went on record as opposing any
games after Labor Day II did not
stipulate that September 9 necessarily
should be the closing date. BY giving
Dreyfuss full power to act for the
National League the league thereby
binds itself to support any closing date
that Dreyfuss Is able to arrange with
the American League.
The sentiment In favor of a worlds
series as usual was unanimous. as II
was felt that TO discontinue this big
sporting event would be big mistake.
Most of the men at the meeting whose
clubs are out of the race indicated they
would like to run their teams until
Labor Day and get in as many games
as possible before players become sub
ject to the operations of the work or
fight order
President Tener Harry Hampstead, New
York: Charles Ebbets. Brooklyn; Will
lam Baker. Philadelphia; Barney Drey-
fuss, Pittsburg and A. c. Wise. Boston.
Major Percy Haughton, former presl-
dent of the Braves, was at the meeting
for n few minutes in his new uniform.
He attended merely to bid goodSby to
his former fellow magnates. Haughton
said he hopes to return to the. presi-
dency OF the Braves when the war is
over He expects to 60 to France In a
very short time.

Kumagae again was the cynosure of
all eyes In his match with Morgenthaler

placed him in the front rank among ten

uncanny, to say the least. He sent the

Morale and Efficiency Increasec


An increase in morale and eff
cheney has been already noted.
When asked for an opinion about
the Negro workers, an official at
Nitro recently stated that the Ne
gro employees are the most salts
fed and appreciative workers in
the plant. This man is white
Tennessean and one who claims
much experience with Negro Ia
Dor. He says he has carefully
watched the activities Of the la
borers and that they "can not be
criticized. " lie sums up the ex-
pertinent by saying:
"This Government has provided
very literally for the colored men
at this place, and we believe that
the colored men have responded
and will continue to respond to the
treatment they receive here"
