FROM ORGANIZED BALL
Detroit and Boston Players Pre-
pare to Draw Up Petition
for Purpose.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

by Associated Press 10 Every Evening
Boston, Aug IL Players of the De-
troit and Boston clubs of the American
League today prepared to draw up a
petition asking for the banishment from
organized baseball of Carl MAYS of the
New York Americans, whose pitched ball
fractured the skull of Ray Chapman,
Cleveland shortstop, IN yesterdays game
Probability that the members of both
teams would refuse to play in any game in
which Mays was the pitcher was expressed
by some Of the players.
The Red Sox held a meeting in the
clubhouse when word was. received of
Chapman's injury. II was agreed. ac.
cording TO Outhelder Menoskev. that al
would sign a petition TO President John
son to have Mays ruled out of the gsyne if
Chapman should die, and that the PLAYERS
would not go to bat against his pitching
again. With news of his death the PLAYERS
discussed the carrying out of the plan for
petition.
Members OF the Boston club, who were
teammates of Mays until the latter de-
serted the club prior to his sale TO New
York last year, said they felt certain the
Detroit players would join in such action
as might be decided upon
Ty Cobb, asserted that summary
measures should be taken against Mays
Immediately. Oscar Stanage, veteran
catcher of the Tigers, said the players had
already discussed aetio.
Mays has been storm center of base
ball CONTROVERSY for Years, first because
of his close pitching, rs a result of which
players frequently complained that he
bad tried to dust" them off The deal
between the Boston and New York clubs
by which he was transferred after he de-
serted the Red Sox precipitated fac
tional fight among club owners and Presi-
dent Johnson which threatened to disrupt
the league.

Dublin. Aug. l7.--District Inspector
Wilson was shot dead at Ternplemare
last night while walking from the police
barracks to his home, according 70 a
message from ThurIes
Belfast, Aug. 1.-THE town OF Tenn
plemare, County Tipperary, underwent
a grim ordeal of reprisal last night after
the murder of District Inspector Wilson,
according 10 dispatch received here
today
The police and military turned out to
avengc Inspector Wilson and with bombs
and bullets speedily cleared the streets
The town hall and several shops we're
wrecked. The disorders lasted several
hours.
London, Aug l7.--In reply to ques-
ton in rhe House Of Commons Yesterday,
Premier Lloyd George again announced
the Willingness of the government to dis
cuss with any representatives of Irish
opinion any proposals for settlement.
The Premier said such discussion would
be subject to three conditions, as follows:
First, that the six counties OF Northern
Ulster must be treated sapaTately, sec

directly or indirectly of any part of Ire
land from the United Kingdom, and
third, 1--WE cannot agree to anything that
would involve any detraction from the Sc
curity of these islands or OF their safety
In case of war"
The Sim Feiners would not be ruled
out if they were prepared to accept these
conditions, Premier Lloyd George said.
Paragraphs in the newspapers recently,
considered by some to have been inspired,
had led the public to expect some new wdecla-
ration OF policy toward Ireland by the
Premier or Bonar Law on the lines of do
minion home rule, but this expectation
metwith disappointment.
Lloyd George confined himself to re-
peatlng his previous statements that the
government would discuss settlement
with any representatives of Irish opinion,
not excluding the Sim Feiners, provide
they accepted his stipulations.
This guarded statement, although an
nouncing no new policy, will probably
be interpreted as an invitation to continue
outside discussions of dominion settlement
which have made such unexpected pro-
gress recently and enlisted support In
hitherto antagonistic quarters.

assistance should be given her. He also
denied having said he wished to go to
Ireland for personal reasons.

The stadium will hold between $4,000
and $4,000 persons. The first unit,
now under construction, will be rushed
to completion in time for the Thanks
giving football game This unit will
seat 10000 persons.
The scene of the work is visited
daily by hundreds of persons who
watch the huge hydraulic streams cut
into the earth, going deeper and deep
er for the construction of the huge
"bowl." Thousands Of tons of water
daily are used and an intricate system
of sluices and narrow gauge railways
are intertwined in a network about

HUGE CORN CROP
FORECAST THIS YEAR
Yield of 5000, 100000 Bushels Expect
ed. 795, 100000 Bushels of Wheat
and 400, OOO, 900 Bushels of Potatoes.

and 400, OOO, 900 Bushels of Potatoes.
For the third time in the history of
the country a 3,OOO,0OO,00O bushel
corn crop is forecasted by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, on the basis of
conditions existing Aug. l. Improve
ments reported during July in impor
tant corn states, added 224,0OO,OOO
bushels to the forecast made July l.
Rust and other adverse conditions
during July caused a reduction of 29,-
100000 bushels in the wheat forecast
of month ago. This brings the total
forecast to 262 100000 bushels. The
preliminary estimate of winter wheat
production was 100000 bushels
larger than forecast in July, making
the combined crop of winter and spring
wheat only 14,00O,000 smaller than es-
timated month ago. The total of
95,OO0,000 bushels was predicted in
the August forecast.
Indications are that the crop of po-
tatoes will exceed 400,000,000 bushels
for the fourth time in the country's
history, and the probabilities are that
the tobacco crop will exceed the record
crop produced in 1918 by about 200,-
100000 pounds. Total production is
forecast at 1,544,000,000 pounds.
