Special Appeal To Women

An urgent appeal has been sent
out by the Potomac Division of the
American Red Cross to all chapters
in Maryland Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia
asking them to again call together
their workers and press into service
the needles, which were laid aside
some months ago. This time it is
not a matter of comforts for fighting
men, but actual covering for thou
sands of children and adults in
Europe, left utterly destitute by the
World War and its aftermath of af-
fictions and horrors.
Hundreds of thousands of layettes
and other articles of childrens wear
ing apparel are needed particularly
and at once, according to the cables
received daily at Red Cross Nation

persons abroad. These messages
reveal the increasing misery of the
people there, beset by disease, fam
inc and conditions rapidly approach

Easton, Md, June 15.-1saiah
Fountain, colored convicted of }crim-

Posses are securing the Eastern
Shore to find him. 1t is freely pre-
dicted here that when he is caught
he will be lynched.
Escaped In Auto
Fountain called Charles Seymour,
Waterman to the Jail, at IL O'Clock
and asked for a drink OF water.I Sey-

into Fountains cell. AS soon as the
door was open Fountain dashed out
into the corridor and was gone. An

car was seen going north out OF
Easton about five minutes after
Fountains escape with negroes in it.
Road Policemen After Him.
First of the poGse to get out after
Fountain were three State ROADS
Commission policemen. They were
Officers Spicer, Peepersack and Chap
man. Using the Road Commissions
automobiles and one motorcycle,
they sped after the car in which it
is thought Fountain was riding. The
car was headed in the direction OF
centreville.
Practically every town on the
Shore has been notified of the es-
cape, and a dragnet has been organ
lied that, it is thought, will result
in Fountains capture before he gets
out of the State.
Second Escape
This is the second time Fountain
has escaped. He got away during
his first trial, at this place, and the
town and countryside were in an up
roar until he was caught.
A lynching at that time was bare
ly prevented. The Court was hastily
convened so that the mob that de-
manded his life, would hold off until
the trial was over.

Indians Start
Boycott Move
Against Mays
Browns and Senators Said
to Have Joined Them:
Ban johnson Silent
By w. O. McGeehan

Three clubs in the American League
are reported to have signed an agree
ment not to play against the New York
Yankees if Carl Mays, whose i'll for
tune 1t was to throw the ball that
Killed Ray Chapman, is placed in the
pitchers box against them. A peti
ton started by the Cleveland baseball
players to have Mays boyeotted was
forwarded to the Chicago White Sox
players here yesterday. The men of
the Chicago American League team
announced through their manager. Kid
Gleason, that they held Mays blame
less and that they would play against
him.
The clubs said to have joined in the
boycott of Mays are the St. Louis
Browns, the Washington Senators and
the Cleveland Indians. Walter Nc
Nichol, secretary of the Cleveland
Club, said that he had been told bv
some OF the players that they never
would participate in a game where
Mays played. Iris Speaker had moth
ing to DO with this" he said. The
'nlng was born IN the minds of the
players and developed by them alone. -
d,
tne Cleveland team is stopping, saws
that Byron Bancroft Johnson, presi-
dent OF the American League, was in
cons suitation with iris Speaker yester-
day but declared that he had no state
mcnt to make regarding action of the
players. The st. Louis Browns will be
here Sunday, and it is certainty that
Carl Mays will be placed in the box
against them. This will bring the re-
ports OF strikes and boycotts to the
test. If the Browns refuse to play
they will forfeit the game and the
owner Of the Browns will he fined
9l,OOo., The same conditions apply to
the other clubs.
1t strikes me that, if the president
of the American League is real ex
ecutive, this is no time for him
to maintain silence. He has not bee Il
noted as a silent man. This case calls
for discipline and force of character.
This whispering campaign against I:
man in deep trouble through no fault
of his own is cowardly and reflects
discredit upon the game, in which the
president of the American League has
always claimed to be a wholesome in
fiuence. If Mathewson or Walter John
son had thrown the ball that killed Raw
Chapman they would have been over
NHtliHtu Win >! Hipdlnctlc messages.
Because Mays has been unpopular and
because he has not the winning per
sonality of some of the league favor
ties he should not be. prosecuted for
something of which he is innocent
The threat Of strike--unless MAYS
is driven from basebaIi-is rank in
subnrdination. The discipline OF the
league is threatened, and it is time for
the president of the league to make his
position clear.
Colonel T. L. Huston, speaking in
the absence of Colonel Jacob Rupert,
part owner of the Yankees, said that he
had nothing to say other than to reiter-
ate the statement made by the Yankee
owners several days ago to the effect
that they would back Carl Mays to the
limit.
For the sake of basebal's good name
it is TO be hoped that the president Of
the league will soon make his attitude
clear
