HAVANA, Feb. i3.-Several millions
Of dollars in American capital are being
invested in the conviction that citizens
OF the United States cannot. or will not,
dispense with the sporting life.
This investment is actually a wager.

hotel stock and into his saloon business

Things are tame down here right
now" I was told by H. ID. Brown,
manager OF Oriental Park, the Cuba
American JOCKEY Clubs track. There
has been a lot OF propaganda in the
States. especially among the Florida
resorts, knocking Havana. They have
spread the reports that IL costs $50 q

crooks and the labor situation borders
on revolution. Next year. and in years

What, then. are the present facts
about gay life in Havana2

until recent reform movements ana

FLETCHER DOUBTS
MEXICAN LEADERS
FORMER ENVOY URGES ONLY
DE FAcTo RECOGNITION OF
HuERTA REGIME.
Suggests That Guarantees Should be
Given For Protection of American
Property and Return of Property
That Has Been Confiscated.

Greencastle, Pa.-Warning against
premature recognition of the new
Mexican government was given the
administration Sunday by Henry T..
Fletcher, former ambassador to
Mexico.
In letter to cambridge Colby,
secretary of state, he urged that in
no case should the recognition of the
De la Huerta regime be other than
that of de facto character.
Mr.. Fletcher's letter resulted from
negotiations between the state depart.
ment and DR.. Iglesias Caldera, Mexi
can high commissioner to the United
States, regarding recognition of the
new Mexican government.
Mr.. Fletcher suggested that before
any recognition was extended there be
an informal agreement that American
citizens would not be deprived of their
property rights without compensation,
and that such property as they were
thus deprived of during the Carranza
regime would be returned.
Mr.. Fletcher was the American am
bassador to Mexico during the Car
rama administration, but resigned
several months ago because of dis
agreement with the American govern
ments policy toward Mexico.

MAJOR LEAGUES HAVE
FOUR FEDERAL STARS
Kauff, RousCh, TobIn and FIaCk
Only Players Developed.
OF More Than 200 Ball Tossera Thrown
on Market When Outlaw Circuit
Was Disrupted Less Than
Score Remain.

What has become of more than 200
Federal league players thrown upon
the market when that organization,
which asplred to be a third major
league, was put out of business after
the season Of 1915 by the National
League and American league through
purchase and consolidation? Many
Of the Federal league players found
berths in the two surviving major
leagues. But today, we find less than
a score of former Federal league men
remaining In the major leagues, and
of these but four are really stars.
With the Cubs, there only remain
Outflelder Flack. Pitcher Hendrix, and
Third Baseman Deal. The Giants
have Outfelder Kauff, Infielder Jimmy
Smith and First Baseman Chase. Gin
cinnati has Outfielder Rousch and
Catcher Wilson, Outfielder Mann, First
Baseman Konetchy and Infielder Raw
lings; Philadelphia has Pitcher
Packard.
In the American league. st. Louis
has Outfielder Tobin and Pitcher
Davenport, the latter just traded to
Washington Detroit has Pitcher
Ehmke; Boston has Outtielder Me-
nosky, who was recently secured from
Washington in the deal that sent Roth
and Shannon to Washington, and New
York has Pitcher Jack Quinn.
It is worthy of note that the Fed
eral League only developed four real
players, and these are all outfelders,
namely: Kaufr, Rousch. Tobin and
Flack, and of these only Tobln was an
actual Federal league discovery and
he had to go to the minors to be
polished up. All of which in effect
settles that leagues claims to major
league status at any time.

THIRD PARTY TICKET
WILL Be LAUNCHED
AMALGAMATIoN OF COMMITTEE
OF FoRTY-ElGHT AND
LABOR PARTY.
Some of the Men Prominent In the
Bull Moose Movement Eight Years
Ago Joining Hands With Third
Party Promoters.

Chicago.-The third party movement
was launched here on July 10, when
the Committee of Forty-eight and the
Single Tax party Joined in their first
national convention to draft plat
form and pick nominees who, they
hope, will win the support of ten or a
dozen liberal organizations.
The first days session, devoted to
keynote speeches and organization
work, developed as many different
views as there were factions repre-
scented. Rules, resolutions and nomi-
nations for permanent officials were
debated step by step and at times
acrimoniously. The temporary chair
man, J. A. H. Hopkins, head of the
Committee OF Forty-elght, maintained
order with difficulty.
Division between the divisional and
radical elements was brought out in
the rolls debate, when Swinburn Hale
of New York said the state delega-
tions were divided "fifty-one per cent
liberal and forty-nine per cent radi-
cal" He was pleading for a change
in the rules that would prevent the
radicals being outyoted by the
majority liberals, but the majority
ruled and his plea was lost.
AS organized, the Committee of
Forty-eight numbered $50 accredited
delegates, with majority of go re-
CURED to nominate. The $50 includ-
ed, in addition to the forty-eighters
and single takers, fraternal delegates
from the Nonpartisan league, Triple
Alliance of the Northwest, Farmers
National council, Peoples league, the
Producers league, the Consumers
league and several other organiza-
tions. The Committee of Forty-eight
embraces a number of well-known
liberal leaders, some of whom were
prominent in the "Bull Moose" move
ment eight years ago. The commit
tee was formed last year in st. Louis,
with membership for each state.
Amalgamation of the Committee of
Forty-eight and the Labor party of the
United States, with common platform
and common presidential ticket is
hoped for.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and key
note speaker. brought the Labor
party convention to its highest en-
thusiasm with a plea that the day
would come when the. working people
Of the United States would get to-
gether and do job such as the work
ers of Russia have DONE"
Delegates stamped and whistled,
and three cheers for soviet Russia
were given.
Fitzpatrick declared there was moth
ing to prevent the "hand and brain
workers taking the government out of
the hands Of not Americans, but in
ternational financial pirates" and adj
vised all the minority groups to unite
on one ticket.
