RESERVE CLAUSE IS CITED IN BASEBALL
 SUIT BY FEDERALS
Testimony Designed to Show Organized Game Monopoly
 Is Introduced
By Review Leased Wirel

(BE ReN1eW Leased hflIeJ
 WASHINGTON, Marcn 26--Test1- money apparently designed to prove organized baseball a monoply within the meaning of the sherman antitrust act was introduced today in the trial in the District of Columbia supreme court of the damage suit of the Balti- more Federal league club against the National and American leagues and certain officials of the former Fed eral league. The Baltimore club is seeking to. recover damages of S9Oo, 900.
 Counsel for the Baltimore club called two witnesses today, F. Otto Knabe assistant manager of the Chi cago club of the National league, and formerly manager of the Baltimore Federals, and L. Edwin Goldman, former director of the complainant club. The former said he had signed numerous players and that the club was compelled to offer unusually large salaries. This was due. he said. to realization by the players that they were going to new organization and fear that if anything happened to the new venture they might find it extremely difficult to return to the ranks of organized baseball.
 Both witnesses were asked many questions regarding the reserve clause in the contracts of professional base bali plyaers, Goldman asserting that it was through these clauses the or ganization maintained control of play CTS from one season to another.
 In response to questions regarding the relative value of baseball players, Goldman gave it as his opinion that actually there were not enough real first class ball players in the country to form one team He explained the system through which players are purchased and drafted and agreed, on cross-examination, that the Federal league. in paying big salaries to Ma tiOnal and American league stars who jumped to the Federals did not have to take into consideration the original draft price of the individuals
 George Wharton Pepper, counsel for organized baseball in the case, asked the witness whether he considered that part of the salary paid profes sional ball players was given them in consideration of the reservation the clubs held upon their services for the next season MT. Goldman said it was not his understanding that the salary of ball players was so divided into two parts

Mark mother day off the cal endar. April 12 is approachin'. The date of the Cubs-Warren dis trict conflict here is to local fans what Christmas is to the small boy, with the exception that Christmas comes every year, whereas we fans seldom get a chance to see a big league club play.
 Speakin' Q April 12, wonder who Fred AIitchelPs figurin' on putin in the box when his Cubs play us? Probably will use two or more twirlers against us, an I'll tell the world fair he can afford to, with that gang of beavers that draw cheeks from him every month at his disposal
 See where Jim Vaughn, that "ace" of pitchers, is sick Word from Pasadena, where the Cubs is limberin' up, imparts the inside info that the big southpaw is inn provin' and feelin' so peppery that they had to nail him down to keep him from putin on his or uniform and gettin' out to warm up yes terday.
 An, in the course O tellin' us that fast an peppery work mark ed the practice of the Chicago Ma tionaI league club, the Associated Press man slips us the secret that Alexander will join the club long bout April 4-just in time for him to work out once or twice before the Cubs play here, an he may be given a crack at tossin' up a few for the local talent to look over.
 Guess most O the local bugs would like to see Alex work against the home team, but quite a few would just as soon see i'm Vaughn on the slab. Any bird who has a record like his is worth seein', Alexander or no Alexander Not quite so steady as the big fellow, O course, but he led the National league last year in the averages, so he's just naturally got to have a little stuff on the pill, you'll admit.

U. s. NAVY SOON WILL
 HAVE 300 DESTROYERS

WASHINGTON, March 26.-With approximately 800 destroyers to be in commission by the end fthe year, the navy department is working out plans for the peace time handling of this force The first suggestion made was to place 200 of the ships in re- serve, but it was learned today that a movement was taking shape toward keeping the entire force In active commission, even if it would be neces- sary to put larger number of older battleships and cruisers in reserve to obtain the necessary personnel
 Some of the old torpedo boats and destroyers undoubtedly will be sold in the near future These include, it is understood, the vessels that were employed in home waters during the war. They were not then regarded as fit for more than limited service and with the large number of new destroyers to take their places, it is believed they will soon be stricken from naval lists entirely.

Highly volatile gasoline for fighting aeroplanes was one of the war needs. The output of this special gasoline by all the rehnerieS east of the Rocky Mountains was not enough, so Califor- mia was called upon to furnish large part of the supply. At the request of the United States Government the Pa ciic Coast Petroleum War Service Committee apporioned California's quota among such of the large re6ners as were able to make this special gaso- line.
 The Standard Oil Company, being the largest of these, had the greatest quota to fill. We were glad to do our part. We supplied more than our quo- ta of aviation gasoline.
 Aeroplane engines, operating high in the air under conditions of extreme cold and rare6ed atmosphere, require different gasoline from engines operat- ing on the ground. In fact, the needs are so special that the gasoline nanu- factured for aeroplane use (often used at attitudes of from 10000 to 25,00o feet) would be utterly indifferent for use in automobile or other internal combustion engines operated on land or sea.
 Aviation gasoline has to be highly volatile. It must vaporize rapidly even in the extreme cold of very high alti-
Bisbee daily review., 1919-03-27

tudes. On its rapid vaporization alone must often depend the lives of the men in the aeroplane. This gasoline would not be good for general use. It would lack power on the ground, its loss in storage by evaporation would be great. and 1t would be expensive.
 Making aviation gasoline for the Government took very considerable part of the low boiling point or highly volatile constituents of the crude oil, and, as result, the gasoline left avail able for regular use lacked those quaIi- ties which assure easy starting of the automobile engine.
 The Governments demand for avi- ation gasoline reached its maximum in the late fall of 1918, and then for peri cd of about six weeks the deficiency of Red Crown gasoline in low boiling" point constituents or easy starting qualities was most apparent.
 Now that the war is won and the great demand for aviation gasoline has ceased, we are again able to offer the same grade of Red Crown gasoline as formerly, with the same full and con- tinuous chain of boiling points-frorn the low to the high-whichis necessary for easy starting, quick and smooth acceleration, high power and long mileage.

of the shafts of the gearset, due to
distortion of poor bearings. When
a cone clutch spins, it is usually pos

The automobile races at Sleeps

takably that racing is just as popu-
lar now, after a lapse Of several
years, as il has ever been, for a
capacity crowd of $4,000 people
packed the big grand stands and
warmed out over the oval infield.
Instead of the usual 100-mile
race, the afternoons program was
divided into four events including
two l0-rnile, a 30-mile and a So
nilerace-an engagement which
furnished greater variety of enter
tainment for the vast crowd and
greater equality for the drivers.

seconds from the former record es-

De Palma, who was easily the
favorite Of the crowd, was rendered
a great ovation when the an

in marketing produce. All this re-
suits in the continued high cost of
foodstuffs in the various cities.
- The railroad administration has
been receiving many appeals from
communities throughout the coun-
try for rail transportation from
points not now served by railroads.
These involve the construction Of
extension lines, which are not prac-
teal or advisable at this time. 4 1t is
therefore necessary for the trans
port committee to investigate the
possibility Of giving these commu-
mites highway transportation.
In Union county, Arkansas, for
example, there were recently 100
bales of cotton lying Jon the ground
in the gin yards without cover. In
this one county there were over
l,4O0 bales of cotton and several
carloads of cotton seed products.
In Carter and Fallon counties,
Montana, where RAILROAD Connections
were promised, several million BUSH
els of grain are to be raised and the
railroad has for the second time
been unable to meet the request for
mail connections.
This locality must be saved by
highways transport and the highway
transport committee is now taking
the action necessary to bring relief.
Roads in Financial Distress.
The rail and electric lines of the
country are in a serious financial
condition and their expenses now
must be met either by government
funds or increased rates. There
seems to be an opportunity to de-
velop feeders for both by penetrat-
ing areas without transportation
and feeding the railroads and water
ways many thousands of tons which
now cannot be brought to the mar
ket.
The entire transportation prob
lem is at the present time of such
serious nature that it is the belief
of the highway transportation COM
mittee that instead of duplicating
transportation and taking tonnage
away from the railroads and electric
lines, the motor truck must be uti-
lized to assist the railroads and wat
erways in making complete deliv-
cry. When the plan of the highways
transport committee is fully formu-
lated there will be consultation with
the railroad administration with the
idea of co-ordinating it with the
service of the railroads and avoiding
any unnecessary duplicating of facil-
tiles,
