RuMANIA MAKES
BITTER ATTACK
UPON ENTENTE
Threat Made to Strip Country
if Army is Forced Out Of
Hungary.
(By Associated Press)

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 14.-Rumaoian
consequence Of the note sent to Ru-
mania by the peace conference, ac-
cording to a wireless received here
from Vienna quoting newspapers of
that city.
VIENNA, Aug. IA statement at
tacktns England and America, de-
manding that Hungary be united with
Rumania under the sovereignty of
King Ferdinand and threatening to
strip Hungary II the Rumanian army
Is forced to withdraw from that coun-
try, has been presented to Archduke
Joseph, head of the Hungarian gov
ernment, by the authorized Rumanian
representative at Budapest, according
to dispatches received here.
The text Of the statement, accord
ing to report follows: There are
250,000 workmen in Budapest who are
only waiting for the Rumanians to
leave Hungary, to Immediately take
the situation into their own hands,
which means a return to Bolshevism.
The Hungarian government cannot de-
pend upon the entente powers for as
sistance, for these powers have with
drawn all their troops from Russia,
and America is unwilling to send a
single soldier We do not trust the
entente which only wants to humiliate
us. We are willing to withdraw our
troops If necessary, starting tomorrow
morning, but We will carry off every.
thing and strip the country just as
Field Marshal Mackensen did Ru-
mania
THE only grudge the entente has
against us is that We refuse to have
English and American capital domi-
nate Rumania. Hungary must follow
Rumania's policy in not accepting
English and American capital. What
ever would remain after the Ruman-
ians retreat would be taken by the
entente anyway. The entente idea is
to have Rumania and Hungary fight
and destroy each other, the entente
thereby getting all. There Is only one
policy for Hungary to pursue, that
is a junction between Hungary and
Rumania, ruled by the Rumanian king
We do not care what the entente or
Premier Clemenceau Of France want
to do or is doing. We will follow our
| own policy.
I'VE expect an answer from Arch
| duke Joseph, head of the government,
by eight o'clock tonight. If an an
swer is not received by that time we
shall inform Bucharest, which shall
| decide opon what action should be
| taken

RED Sox ARE
 TRYING TO GET HARPER OF WASH.

Boston, Dec. Hilary Frazee, owner of the Red Sox and fresh from his attempt to unseat Ban Johnson in the American league meeting over in New York last week, made a hurry call to Boston yesterday to see how things in general were running in his Boston offices.
 Although It was expected that Handsome Harry would announce the training plans of the Sox for 1920, yet he had nothing definite to give out. as the full programme of the spring training season had not been thoroughly prepared.
 One thing apparent, though, was that Owner F'razee and Manager Bar row are Particularly anxious to make some advantageous deal whereby the SoX will materially strengthen the outfeld, and notably in Bobby Roth S position. Robbie hardly lived up to the expectations of the fans and the owners of the club last season, and Frazee and Barrow are determined that no place on the Sox lineup will have any loophole during the 1920 season.
 Manager Barrow and Frazee are particularly sweet on Fred Harper. the Senator's twirler, for If there was one pitcher last season that could stand the Sox on their heads almost any time he started, 1t was none

Bob F'itZsimmOns' Son Needs Manager
 to Succeed in Ring

New York. Dec 17-With the wish father to the thought and carried away by sentiment, many of those who attended the Fitzsimmons-Kin- ley bout in Newark last Monday night came away singing Bob Juniors praises and saying the yOungster would become as great a fighter as his famous old man. The safe and sane experts, however, saw in the son of Lanky Bob only q novice with 9 good left hand, fast on his feet for big fellow, but possessing a right hand that was almost useless. pack ing little or no punch and displaying few of the attributes of a coming star.
 Young F'itzsimmons' left hand. however, coupled with his speed and the possession of good fighting build, and particularly a pair of big, bony hands. makes him fair pros pect for pugiIstic development. Un- der shrewd and careful nursing the son of the grand old freckled faced ring warrior eventually may take his place among the topnotch heavy weights.
 The youngster, however, is making a grave mistal-c right at the launch ing of his ring career. He has an- nounced that he will handle ms own affairs and will employ no manager. He is erhbarking on uncharted pugi- hstic seas without a pilot
 F'itzstmmons Is young and unso- phisticated, neither by nature bent nor by experience fitted to match wits against the element mixed up in the actual business of the ring. It is cer- tain that Fitzsimmons, left to him'
 rI,, spiders web The fistic sharps will enveigle him into bad matches, he will sign foolish contracts, and in short is likely to be trimmed" to the king of knaves' taste. He will find the lack of expert training advice, lack Of wise instruction from the corner and the absence of a guididg hand in all things, a most heavy handicap.

WHITE, STAR OF RIDEO.s'S WIN
 OVER JERSEY

AS g. result of their victory over Jersey City last night thes Blue Rib bons worked into a four cornered tie for second place in the Interstate Basketball league standing. The Ribbons won by 31 to 23 and a crowd of 1000 fans cheered contin- ually at the many good plays. Owing to the absence of Schwab, who has an injured ankle, Manager Leavy of the Ribbons, was compelled to use Stew art at forward in the first half. Il the second period he had Joe Ash mead, the old Cornell star, who prov ed 8 great success.
 Johnny Beckman, who has been with the Eastern league. was q mem Der of the Jersey City five last night and he electrified the crowd by a goal almost the length of the floor. Joe Dreyfus, the Jersey City guard, also made several long shots which were appIauded. At the beginning Of the first period the visitors showed a burst of speed and at one time led by to 1. Then Eddie White and Ernie Reich, the Ribbons speed mer- chants, got going and soon tied the score. Whites playing has been a feature of all the Ribbons home games this season.

HIGGINS MAY COACH HARVARD
 FOR BIC CAMIE

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. IT - The Harvard football eleven practised in one of the State ar1nories in Boston Festerday afternoon, having room on the loaIn floor to go through all it's open plays and to work on bunting and handling kicks. The team is fast getting into trim for It's game with Oegon, and the workout showed that the eleven has not forgotten it's No vember style of game. Desmond was not at end in the first lineup, Ryan and Phnney taking his place.
 Brown is fitting in nicely at left guard. Gratwick, one of the backs chosen to make the trip, probably will not be able to go because of a severe cold, but his place will be taken by Hamilton, who has been working with the squad for the past ten days.
 Bob Fisher hopes to enlist the ser vices of Higgins, the Penn State All Amerca end, to show the team some thing of the Bezdek style of game being used by the Oregonians. The Iinemen did a lot of hard work, but Fisher did not order any scrimmage. It Is now doubtful whether he will hold a real one before the team goes away.

RING DEMANDS
 SALARY RAISE
 FROM TIE REDS

New York, Dec 17.---Jinnnfe R.rg who was one of the best pitchers in the National Leagu. last year de- spite the fact that he didn't stand right up on top of the list, is reported q holdout. The crack heaver for the Reds, who held the White Sox to three little bingIes and didn't allow the American League cham pions 2 single tally. wants more money .1ex- season and it is said that he has de clared that he won't pitch for Carrie Herrman's tribe unless he gets the increase he demands.
 Ring was the original hard-Iuck twirler last year, losing more games by one run than practically all other pitchers in the National League com bined but the manner in which he turned back the supposedly heavy hitting White Sox convinced the world that he vas one of the best box ar lists in the business.
 Ring made a rather lofty demand for the increase but was inclined to be reasonable when Hermann ex plaiued a few things to him. The pitcher said that he would like to re- main with the Reds and also that he hopes to have a little more of an even break than he had the pas season.
 The confab with the Red own ended when the box performer sa.E that he would talk things over vi ! his wife and let the Cincinnati r7a-- nate know in the not far distant f. ture whether he can come back oli Herrmann's terms.

BAN JOHNSON
 IN CONTEMPT OF
 COURT,FOES SAY

New York, Dec. 17-Ban Johnson and his newly formed Board of Di- rectors of the American League have placed themselves in contempt of court, according to the officials of the New York club. The local club claims that Ban and his cohorts violated the injunction orders issued by Justices Luce and Wagner. Therefore, pro- cedings are to be instituted to try and have the Johnson faction punished for ignoring the ruling of the courts
 It Is claimed by the ''insurgents'' that when Johnson and his board of directors held a meeting the night of their election they rescinded all ac- ton taken by the old board 5n the Mays case. This, the insurgents declare. was direct violation of the courts mandates which restricted any interference with the steps taken by the former directors So 'tis the in ton of the home club. as they put it, to see whether Johnson can hout injunction orders as he does the con sl tuition of the league"
 As it appears now, all the games In which Mays participated will be ignored by the board now in the sad dle. This would remove the Yankees from third place and give that posi- ton to the Detroit club. Again, the third money of the worlds series, now in escrow, will be ordered turned over to Detroit. This probably means that a few more injunctions will fit around unless something hap pens to wind up the ever-increasing muddle.

YANKEE OWNER SAYS RUmOES
 ARE NOT NEW

New York, Dec. IT, Col. Filling hast Huston, part owner of the Yan- kees, Is III sy mpalhy with the attempt to suppress the gam bling evil in pro- -- $ lCuai baseball. The Yankee owner, who is one of the leading American League insurgents in the fight against san Johnson, expressed himself yes terday on the greatest danger that now confronts the big league base ball in the following:
 'If gambling exists in major
 league baseball nothing should
 be left unturned to eradicate
 this evil from the national game.
 Summary action should be taken
 if ball players are betting on
 the outcome of league games.
 The New York American
 League Club management, fully
 alive to the harm public gamb-
 ling could do to professional
 baseball, spends large sums of
 money every year in a sincere
 effort to keeps down betting at
 the Polo Grounds"
 Col. Huston's statement comes in answer to startling exposes made by Hugh Fullerton that gamblers were plying their operations openly in league parks, that star players were being tempered with and that even the Iag world series between the White Sox and Reds was under the cloud of suspicion.
 The Yankee owner said he was fully alert to the untold damage that public gambling could work in big l6ague baseball At considerable partner, Col. Ruppert, expended r CP i,, an effort to restrict gambling ac- tivities on games at the Polo Grounds and the numerous obstacles that were always encountered.
 ''These gambling rumors," said
 Col. Huston, "are nothing new
 to us. We hear stories that So-
 andSo bet with someone else
 and that he in turn was very
 friendly with a certain player and that this certain player, was
 well acquainted with a celebrat-
 ed gambler, but when we got on
 the trail of these rumors they
 simply led Ns up a blind alley.
 Count on us in any movement,
 however, that will rid baseball of
 gamblers.'
 Col, r stOn firmly believes that major baseball is the real national pastine, and that every safeguard should be taken to protect the game from nefarious influences. To this ead he and Col. Jake Rurpert have employed detectives and private tn- ves.igators to smash any public bet ting that may show it's head at the Polo Grounds. The Colonel infers that short work would be made of any member of the Yankees who was found guilty of participating in any gambling pool

CURL-EY BROu.IN. RICH H0RSEMhN,
 SHOOTS CUBAN

Havana, Dec. 17-H. D. (Curley) Brown, former owner and present manager of the Oriental Park race track, shot and seriously wounded Alfredo Piedras, son-in-law of the Cuban Secretary of the Interior, at the race track yesterday afternoon. Soldiers protected Brown from the enraged crowd. The shooting follow ed a quarrel between the two mn.
 Brown is one of the best known race track men in the United States. He is about 60 years old and has been a track regular as an owner of horses, owner of tracks. bookmaker, starter and gambler for 30 years. The nickname of CurIey was given to him because of his shock of black curly hair He sold the beaut full course at Havana in September to syndi- cate headed by John McGraw. the manager, and Charles A. Stoneham, the new owner of the New York Giants, for a price in the neighbor- hood of s3,G00,000.
 UnGI ten years ego, Brown was knov q to racing men as the owner of a string of cheap horses which he moved from track to track with the seasons. He was subject to the re- current vicissitudes of his kind and was never very prosperous.
 Brown built and operated tracks al New Orleans, across from Detroit at Windsor, Can, and at Laurel, Md, before going to Cuba three years q go. With the enforcement of prohibition m the United States the prospects for the future of the Havana track made 1t a valuable property. When Brown sold it to the McGraw-Stoneham syn dicate, it was understood that he re- tained control of the clubhouse gam ling rights and was given the posi- ton as general manager.
 He has been given to reckless out breaks in anger. He struck waiter in the Waldorf-Astoria while dim ne with a woman In January, 1913, and was made leave the hotel by the late George C. Boldt. He was ruled of a track at Newport. Ky, after beat ing a man named Murray.
 other than Clark Grifrith's elongated southpaw But both F'razee and Bar row are aware that they are going to have no easy task in trying to land this twirler. Washington, ever eager to secure a hard right hand hitter for it's outfeId, could use Roth ad- antageously placing him in the right garden and shifting Sam Rice to Jeff field, this making trio with Milan which would be hard to beat.
 Griffith is willing to trade Harper alone for Roth. but it is not agree to Barrow. If Griffith would include Shanks in the deal the Sox manage ment might entertain such an ar rangement, as the sox would have 2 clever outfeIder as we'll as a spIen- did utility man.
 Accordingly 1t would seem as though a Boston Washington trade would be of more advantage to the Sox than anything else. So F'razee and Barrow are entertaining hope that they may be able to land the Washington pitcher who has been such a thorn in the side of the Red Sox all last season.
