YaIlks Expect Injunction
 To Seftlc Ban Johnson
Carl Mays Will Pitch and Now New York Mag mates Invite Other Clubs to Discuss Case
 Without Johnson.

Now York, Aug. 7-In addition to obtaining an injunction restraining President Ban Johnson of the Amert- can League from interfering with Pitcher Carl Mays, the owners of the New York Americans also caused a sensation yesterday when they took steps to get Johuson's scalp by invit- ins the other club owners to meet ing next week at which tho whole situation will be discussed.
 The injunction is of q temporary nature, and remains in effect until next Tuesday, when the case will be the Borough of Manhattan.
 The Yankees expect to pitch Mays In one of the games of the double header with tho st. Louis Browns to- day, though no official announcement to that effect was made. "I am not picking pitchers for Miller HusEins. our manager" said Col. Ruppcrt last night. "3ut Hugzins has been ad- vised that he may pitch Mays when ever he desires As we play two games against st. Louis today and tho club Is 8 littio short on pitchers. strongly suspect that Mays will pitch"
 The Yankee lawyers earned their money woli. The injunction is q work of art IL covers every phase of the situation.
 It also provides that there be no interference with any regularly scheduled contests between the Yankees or rival clubs, or regarding any games in which Mays participates otherwise than championship con tests. It prevents any club from re- fusing Co play against Mays.

OFFER KILBANE $10,O00 TO BOX
 BENNIE VALCER

New York, Aug. 7.---Johnny Kill bane, the f2atherweight champion, was offered s1O.00O last night by the Newark Sportsmans Club to box Benny VaIger on Labor Day. Val gers guarantee is to be 5000. Joe Jacobs accepted very readily for Val ger, and it is quite certain that Kill bane will accept too. since no other club is likely to offer anything like that sum, and in Newark he will be asked to go only eight rounds without O referees decision.
 Under such conditions KEbane would lose his valuable title only through a knockout. Not even a. foul would divest him of his championship since disqualification for a foul would entail giving a decision, and in a no decision bout that of course is not possible. Valger has been coming along pretty strongly. KiIbane re- fused to permit Valger to challenge him recently in Philadelphia.
 The Newark club sought a match with Dempsey as the feature for La Dor Day, but nothing came of nego- tations with Jack Kearns, who does not appear anxious to send Dempsey back into the ring in a. hurry.

M'LOuGKLIN HAS
 LOST HIS OLD
 SPEEDY SERVICE

Newport, R- l., Aug. 7.---Outside of the fnjlure of the Australians to ar rive, the greatest comment around the courts has been on whether or not Mclaughlin. the erstwhile Cali fornia comet, will be able to come back. Mclaughlin in his first and second round matches had to meet players so far below his rating that he was never forced to extend him self Mclaughlin knew well enough that the crowds focHed to see him play resa r,lless of what was going on other courts. and he has realized that the onlookers werc all anxious to sec whether he could perform in his old meteor1c style.
 Whatever else the comet may have had fin mind. he had no intention of gone back or not. It had been re- ported that Mac had been doing a lot of practice under cover out on the Pacific coast and that when he would appear fin the East he would give the enthusias;s a surprise. Ii Mac has been playing out on the coast he has shown very little of his old-tine stun in the tournament here. Mac gained his sobriquet "the comet partly from tho amount of energy he displayed in his aii-around play, but mainly from htt cannon Daii StrFlte.' iHt CanHOr ball service has gone and the one tha he is affecting now resembles a come' about as much as a pushmobile re. sembles a locomotive.
 Nor ia tho pushmobile a bad sinile 10 take for Macs service. for 1t ha. lost all of his old snap and is sen over with more of a push than stroke. If he ia trying to kid the on lockers with 1t he is succeeding ad mirably. because 1t has been the oc carion for more comment than an! other tNing at tho courts. Further more. Mclaughlin is not the sam' iithe. lean athlete that he was in thu old days.
 He has taken on a great deal O ffceh and hence has lost some of hi speed whether or not tho extr' nvoirdupois is proving O burden t him is hard to say.

LEAGUE ]. ]: NOT ID EXTEND
 ITS SCHEDULE

It has been decided not to extend the Eastern League season beyond Labor Day. Some suggestions were made to have the schedule continue for two additional weeks but the magnates by a telegrap1lic vote decided not to play the longer route. Bridgeport, Hart ford and Providence were against the idea but Springfield favored it. It has always been found in past years that baseball interest in this section is dead after Labor Day.

RAY HEATING BEATS
 CUBS BY HOME RUN

Ray Keating of this city pulled one for the book yesterday. The local boy enabled the Boston Braves to beat the Chicago Cubs with Alexander in the box by means of his freak home run. This cicut, which was made in the third inning, bounded through a hole in the fence and went into tho bleachcrs. In addition to his batting proyycss, I&eating held the Cubs to three hits.

The Providence club, which is only three points behind Worcester in the fight for the Eastern League pennant, will be at Newfie1d Park tomorrow and Saturday to tackle Bridgeport.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

A notable step forward was taken
in the Mansfield No. district last
week when the Mansfield Holstein
Breeders Association was formed
immediate purpose OF the association
was the securing of a registered Hols-
tein sire. This was obtained from
Gustav Casagranda, well known
Holstein man OF Crystal Falls. The
animal is a good individual from a
COW whose official record was over %
pounds of butter in one week. The
use of this sire will mean much to
the farmers of the district, in the up
building of their stock along the lines
OF increased production.
Mr.. Casagranda expects to pur-
chase another sire to head his herd
and his doing so will mean the bring
ing in OF very fine animal.

would it be possible TO DO them justice by
brief quotations. It is best simply TO
characterize them; and perhaps this may
most adequately be done by repeating
part of the introduction TO the book, writ
ten by Sara Ware Bassett of Boston. She
saws of E Il:
"He was not boy TO be fascinated BY
the glamour of adventure; neither was be
of the type to whose imagination mill
tary career appealed. 1t was only his
love for France and for his fellow man
tai Iured him. His modest Re

said, the climax of the unexpected He
alludes only sketchily, however, TO the
martial turmoil seething about him. In
stead his letters are redolent with the per-
fume of gardens and rich with the kaleido-
seopic hues of countryside, stream and
woodland"
Which is all just and true. We may
illustrate with two sentences from a let
ter written in hospital: "At 7 o'clock
Grandmere will come in and twenty heads
(some bandaged like badly wrapped
mummies-an eye, nose, 'en panne') will
pop up from twenty cots and cry Bon
jour, Grandmere' Then the blesse near

"The Private Wire
To Washington"

THE imam who stayed home" In war
i time has been made the hero of at
least two plays since 1914, and in each
ease he did it voluntarily TO play the spy.
But the man who stays home in The Pri-
rate Wire to Washington does so for not
50 laudable q reason and then turns secret
service agent in an effort to get even with
the persons who caused his undOing. Just
what that reason was or who we're the
persons who caused Robert Winthrop to
get into this mess this reporter declines to
reveal here. Harold MaeGrath's solution
of the mystery is altogether too clever and
too unexpected granting its unreahty) to
be spoiled for the reader in advance. The
events in the book surely do put Robert
Winthrop in a very bad light, and on the
day that Molly Ellis discovered Win
throp's spectaeles were made of common
glass things looked very dark for him in
deed. For Winthrop let it be known be
couldn't get into the army because his eyes
were not up to the proper military stand
ard.
Much of this is revealed through Incl
dents occurring at the Ellis country place
on the south shore Of Long Island, where
Ellis pcre has u private wire TO Washing
ton installed. 1t is discovered that some
one in the house is receiving messages
from Washington that are used against
the United States in the prosecution of
the war. Every one takes hand at finding
out who uses the wire, but it is Robert Win
throp who really spots the receiver of in
formation, aided by some secret service men
who are the real thing. But this is not all

most perilous stunt Of all he had TO write

which letter forms the real clue TO the plot
In this. tale of action Mr.. MaeGrath has
spun one of the best of all his yarns and
one that has kick at the end of Il

after. This superlative artistry ! could
not attain to in writing the tale"
DiSrOla, which is the outstanding story
in the book, owes It's creation to a dream
which required again and again, over a
period Of twelve years, coming sometimes
twice weekly, sometimes only once in six
months.
"Disrola is told exactly as 1 dreamed
it; the ending, from getting my eyes
above the level of the windowsill, came
once only. Three or four times the dream
began with my escape from the massa-
ere of my company in the wood; gener-
ally, however, it began when l awoke in
the dark in the dream and saw the light
tNinkling far away across the valley. No
existent path which my feet have trod
is better known to ne than that dream
path. But the climax of that
dream amazed me even more than the
climax of the tale will probably startle
sensitive reader. I, in my dream, did not
read it; it happened to me. The diaboi
cal ingenuity of ii still gives me spinal in
buttons"
These pictures and near pictures, to
use the authors own term in another ap-
phcation, are interesting more from the
standpoint Of dream psychology than
that of history or literature.
