ST. LOUIS, January 13.-With a
second mortgage on the st. Louis Ma
tional League base ball club for
$4,000, exclusive of interest, falling

the club viii be sold at auction under
foreclosure.
The mortgage was given in the form
of notes. and all but $1,000 of the
notes are held by stockh olders in the
club. IT will be necessary for holders
OF $4,000 worth of the notes to re-
quest a foreclosure before proceedings
can he started. If the club is sold the
successful bidder must assume, il was
pointed out, an additional indebted
ness of $i25, 900, which is still due on
the original purchase price of the club.
Schofield said the taking of fore
closure action would not be deter
| mined until President Branch Hickey

THE success of base ball this year
seems dependent upon whether or
not the players now in the Army, both
in this country and abroad. obtain
their release in time for the opening
of the season" Johnson said today.
'If they are not available for base

back at different periods after the
season gets under way, for every club

OF course we appreciate that the re-
auirementS of the country merit hrst
consideration, but with the fighting
ended there may no longer be urgent
need for the retention of the men who
have positions awaiting them. in
which case in justice to themselves
and their families they should be per-
