SUSPENDS BUILDING.
Of SIX CRUISERS
Secretary Daniels Halts Con-
struction Until He Decides
Upon Future Type.
GRAVELY AFFECTS LABOR

Secretary Daniels has directed sus-
pension of work on the six great bat
tie cruisers authorized in 1915 until
he and the American naval experts
have decided on the future type of
American capital ships in the light of
information they may obtain on their
projected trip to Great Britain.
France and Italy. The order I'M
doubtedly will have serious effect
on the labor situation.
Work on the big ships IS now only
in the first stage, as their construction
was held up during the war so that
destroyers might be built Recon-
mendations Of the Navy Department
that six additional battle cruisers be
authorized were stricken from the
naval bill in the last Congress be-
cause of the Disagreement between
naval officers as to the kind of capital
ship that should be built in the light
of the lessons gained in the war.
Secretary Daniels issued this state
ment:

Secretary Issues Statement.

THE conclusion relating to the type
of capital ships resulting from a close
study of naval activities of the pres
ent war has created such q difference
of opinion among naval experts that
the Secretary of the Navy has di-
rected the temporary suspension of
the building Of the large battle
cruisers.
Admiral Mayo, the commander-tn-
chief of the United States Atlantic
fleet, when before the committee on
| naval affairs of the House, stated
that in his opinion the most effective
capital ship of today is q high-speed
hattleship which carries the great gun
power and armor protection of bat
tIeship and as much as possible of
the high speed of a battle cruiser.
such naval experts as Admiral Ben
son and Admiral Sims. as a result of
their observations and study abroad,
concur In the opinion of Admiral Mayo.
Many of the high-rankinE officers of
the Navy Department likewise concur
IN TINS opinion, while many of the
experts of the general board are of
the opinion that the battle cruiser as
planned should be proceeded with and
battleships of slower speed, greater
gun power and greater protection be
likewise constructed,

Kid Gleason is big Lacquer OF
the old robust school and he will
be no newcomer to Chicago, having
been assistant there under Gala
han and Rowland. He is stckler
for enforcing the rules and he and
his razor strop were we'll known to
the SoX.
Razor Strop Treatment
Lazy ball players who did not
want to get up in the morning In
variably felt the sting of that strop.
Others who liked to stay out late
while on the road arrived early at
the hotel, because they knew the
husky kid" might be sitting around
the lobby waiting for them.
Ed Welsh and other powerful ath-
letes who have been with the SoX
have tried to rough, it with Gleason
in friendly way. Invariably they
finished at the bottom. The Kid
would go to the mat with any or
them and muss them up in his own
way, One of his methods OF max
ing them holler for mercy was to
sink his teeth in their ears. None
of the well-fed, parlor-raised ball
PLAYERS of this decade can stand
that sort of treatment.
Gleason will run his ball cluo as
far as the players are concerned.
Comiskey won't need to hire any
detectives to watch the men VINO
like the glare of the bright lights
at home or abroad. They'll be afraid
to step out evenings, hit a merry
pace and then with flushed counte-
nances face the cold, calculating
lamps OF the old kid" in the morn

ioaned the Philadelphia Nationals
Gleason, then venerable, was still
pastiming at second base Tor that
club, Bransfield was young ana
fresh, a tough fellow, who thought
he could lace anybody on the team.
He finally tried conclusions with
Gleason and was soundly whipped
in fight that was remembered lor
wears in the National League.
Jack Doyle was another rough
marty who always ran when the
"Kid" was on his trail. The SoX
star who tries to get fresh with Glea-
son this summer has our sincere
'sympathy. He'll lose, you can bank
on that.
