INTERNATIONAL TO
Open ON APRIL 50
Club Owners Discuss Plans for
1919 Season

New York, Feb. 27.-Club owners
of the New International League made
decided progress yesterday toward
completing their circuit and in per
feclting plans for the opening of the
season. which was definitely fixed for
April 30.
Following the lead of the major
lea CUES, schedule of 40 games was
approved and a partial draft was
considered but could not be adopted
until a decision is reached as to what
city will take over the SYRACUSE
Hamilton franchise. The season
however, will close on Sept. IA.
Lieut.. David L. Fultz the newly
elected president. presided at the
meeting in the Imperial Hotel and
after a. long and what was called a
constructive session he announced
that a decision would be reached at
another session this afternoon con-
corning the final makeup of the
league.
Three applications were received for
the Newark franchise and in each
case a willingness was expressed to
pay something for the club now own
ed by Joseph J. Lannin and a willing
ness also to build a new park if real
estate can be secured in time.
Four applications were received for
the Syracuse Hamilton franchise, Syr-
accuse, Scranton, Montreal and Ottawa
putting in bids. Montreal was long a
mem Der of the league Lichen helm,
former owner of the Montreal fran
ichise is not interested in the new VEN
Eure.
George Wiltse is authority for the
statement that Montreal is lacking a
playing field, Star Park, where
games were played up to 1917, is in a
broken down, dilapidated condition.
1t is quite possible, however, that
Montreal is planning TO build a new
park.
Lieut. Fultz said THAI if the ques-
tons concerning Newark and the
eight city could not be settled this
afternoon they will be turned over to
him and brought to a head as soon as
pra ctical. He also said that club own
ers were far more optimistic than dur
! ing the January meeting and that all
agreed the outlook was bright for
| baseball in general and the new Inter-
national League in particular.
The player limit set at fifteen at the
| last m eeting was raised to sixteen, not
| including the manager, WhTCh is two
more than last season, while a salary
| limit was adopted No figures we're
| announced, but Lieut. Fultz said that
it was an increase over the 1916 limit
| of $25, 600 q, month.
1t also was voted to go back to the
! double umpire system, as the single
umpire plan used last year for eco
! nOmic reasons was not satisfactory
Eight umpires were approved, but the
names were not announced.
Among 'those who attended the
meeting were Joseph ]. Lannin Of
Buffalo, ]. j. McCaffrey Of Toronto,
Joseph Moran and Dave Price of Jer-
sey City. Jack Dunn and Charles
Knapp Of Baltimore, Fay Benedict Of
Binghamton, Pat Donovan, represent
ing the Hamilton franchise.

Grandpa and Peter were sitting on
the front porch watching Mr.. Sun get

"Grandpa," said Peter. did you
eyer see a really truly cyclone?"
Grandpa laughed. Il ran away
from a baby one once. My father
and 1 had just put the last of the hay
in the stack and my mother n the
twins had driven, over to spend the
day and to 60 back with us. We were
loading things in the wagon and the
horses were eating in h barn.

the clouds were forming In masses

the sky nj saw a queer black th1ng
sticking down from one of the clouds,
I showed 1t to my father and he start
I'd on a run for the barn. We had the
horses on the buggy in a fifty and we
piled in. We had 10 storm cellar,
but our nearest neighbors did. They
lived two miles away by h road, but
there were ne fences so my father
started the horses at a gallop right
across the prairie.
1--WE all piled in the cellar where
we found the entire Hull family. The
storm struck just as we got the cellar
door shut and though it didn't blow
any houses away it rained terribly and
the wind blew for almost two hours.
We were all hungry SO Mr.. Hull
trough a little gasoline stove down
cellar and Mrs. Hull filled us with pan
cakes. She had lots of milk and but
ter down cellar and we children
thought it sort of a picnic. We stay

places along the road where trees mad

In order to bestow it, in snatcheS,

husband. But most t~ragically for

my very own husband, Daddy Lori

explained thai he wanted to get the

My habit of waking early prevail

stopping out on my balcony, for at
that time l was almost sure to see
the Hun who shared Certeis' cottage
setting out to sea.
Travel along our shore followed
two lanes. Fan out we could see the
stacks and the smoke of transatlan-
tic shipping. Close to shore ran a
varied assortment of boats engaged
in the coast traffic. And between the
lanes was a neutral zone whore the
stfnken U-boat lay on the bottom
girdied by her former officers uni
formed in their shrouds!
Early one lowering morning I saw
the Hun fussing away at his engine.
And helping him was a SECOND man

1t came over me, as swiftly as the
lightning which played on the hori-
! zon, that the German mechanic was

acting on an order from Certeis, who
employed them both. the Hun would
/ make Tiny land the loot. To ccom

which Certeis himself was totally
ignorant.
From the look of the sky 1 knew

Certeis himself had recovered
from his injuries. He regretted that
he could not come out to call ON
Mrs. Lorimer. Unfortunately, he had
been summoned to various cities to
settle UP his business affairs.
And I thought to myself that I, at
least, could map out his route by fol-
lowing the newspaper accounts oil
Bolshevik activities. Later, when
alone in my room, / realized that
within the month Certeis would at
tempt to raise the pearls--his we'd
ding gift to Chfys which she believed
to be stored in some New York safe
ty deposit vault.
On the whole, Mary and I had nc
need to hurry, and I was rather glad
that I hadn't reused Mary Thomas

ments for an early morning visit of
