SKATERS MOLINE HOPES
NO WORD ABOUT GAME.

Up to a late hour To-Day, no
word had come from Chicago
from Walter Flanagan concern
a game for the Independents
with the Buffalo All-Americans,
who yesterday surprised the
professional world by defeating
the Staleys, 7 to 6. Walter was
still in Chicago this morning
and it was suspected he put IN
an all night conference with Nc
Neil, manager of the Buffalos-
Before leaving for Chicago
Wednesday, Walter intimated he
would seek such a contest for
Dec. 4 here, rather than attempt
next Sunday, because OF lack Of
time.

Take the recent world series. Babe
Ruth was the big threat of the New
York Americans. When he assed
from the lineup, the Giant pitchers
had nothing much to worry about.
The threat" player in football
really is the introduction of the
change of pace of the ball field to
the gridiron. The victory of
Centre College over Harvard was
an example of the real value of the
threat" player. Harvard expected
McMillin to throw a forward pass
any time he received the ball. Nc
MiIlin invariably ran with it
through a broken line, and once
got away for the winnih score of
the game.

IOWA VICTORY POPTILR

While Ohio State men did not
relish the trimming handed Wilce's
pupils by Illinois, the defeat was
good news to lot of other west
ern conference men. State has
been hogging the limelight for
years. Iowa, as a result of States
defeat. has clear title to the
championship. The under dog al
ways is the favorite. Had Ohio
State defeated Illinois. there would
have been the usual winter dis
pute, with State probably having
the edge, although Iowa is cOnsid-
cred the better team.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
MARION. Ohio. Aug. 15.--The Erie
Railroad te-day gave a new turn 10
the controversy between the carriers
of the country and the shopmen's
unions. It turned over its roundhouse
and shops here TO corporation or
ganized by local business men and
bankers. This action divorces the 400
10 500 union men In the shops from
benefits of the Esch- -Cummins act
The railroad relinquished full con-
troll. The Railway Service Company,
the Marion corporation, has contracted
under a lease to do all the repair
work that had been done by en-
ployees Of the road.
1t was indicated that the work will
be carried on under the open shop"
system. Most OF the men represented
In the Railway Service Corporation
are members of the Marion Employ
ers' Association, an open shop" or
ganization. The corporation is headed
by John ID. Owens, one OF the
wealthiest men In the county.
Since the Railway Service Company is
not common carrier" II was pointed
out here that 1t undoubtedly would not
be subject to supervision by the Railroad
Labor Board.
Leaders OF the nearly 500 shopmen
affected by the change are saying that
what has been done In Marion will be
done all along the Erie system Broth
erhood circles talk of strike with
other branches going out In sympathy
with the shopmen.
There are many reports among them
one that the entire police force Of the
railroad between Chicago and New York
ts being mobilized here. Forty or fifty
Armed men are guarding the round
house and repair shops. but there Is no
Indication OF Immediate trouble.
Leasing of the shops was preceded by
announcement by the railroad company
on August that the ten hour workday
would be resumed that no overtime
would be paid for Sunday work. and
that all employees would be compelled
TO submit TO physical examination.
Since the order became effective some
200 shopmen are known to have quit
work or been discharged. Railroad en-
ployment officials have said these men
refused to continue In the employment

Berlin. Aug. -. J
The speculation attending the steady
drop in the price of the German mark.
which has provoked the heaviest busi-
ness on the floor of the Berlin Stock
Exchange In all its history, continues
despite news of the relaxation of the
allied Rhineland sanctions and the
presumption that the council of the
League of Nations will give Germany
more favorable decision in the Up
per Sileslan dispute than would have
come from the allied Supreme Council.
Simultaneous with, the decline in the
mark the price Of. many stocks, ms a
consequence Of an upward market,
steadily advanced. This fever regis
tered high this morning on the re-
opening OF the Stock Exchange after
Saturdays and Sundays closing, III
view Of reports from New York Of
another decline In the price OF the
German mark. which, Of course, made
it certain that practically all quota
tions on stocks would be higher when
TIE Berlin exchange opened this
morning. Telegraphic orders from
outside Berlin fairly swamped the
brokers and bankers. The specula-
tion is causing grave concern to mem
bers of the Government, inasmuch
as the people here seem determined 70
continue on the bull" side of the
market. which movement is based on
the downward trend OF the mark.
The continued decline In quotations on
the mark is due primarily to the pur-
chase by the German Government or for
eign securities. 1t Is believed here that
this depreciation will continue until the
payment to the Allies OF 1000. 600. 900
gold marks on August 81, when a slight
Improvement in the mark is expected to
come Further paper initiation gives i'm
petus to this downward trend in quota
tions on the mark.
Flnanciers here agree that the slogan
Germany can save herself" no longer
holds good. A halt on the issuance OF
pnper money and balancing OF the bud
get seems impossible with such heavy
outside obligations as exist.
German exports now average 6000,-
900 900 marks gold annually as COM
pared with 10000. 100000 marks gold be-
fore the war. Out OF these 5000, ,000. 900

her present situation without foreign
