LANDS SAYS ORGANIZED
BASEBALL is STILL ON TRIAL

Buffalo, Dec. 7-Organized baseball
is still on trial and will continue on
trial as long as the game is played,
Judge K NJ. Lands told the minor
and major league owners and players
tonight at the annual banquet OF the
National Association Of Professional
Baseball Leagues.
He praised the spirit in which all
branches of the game had accepted MS
decisions during the year and urged
the elimination from organized base
ball of some of the things which, ne
said, still hold the possibility of caus-
ing discord and bringing public cen
sure on the game.
Referring particularly to the draft
or the "selective clause" Judge Ian
dis said.
q have no interest in what the price
is going to be-but I have an interest
in inserting in the fundamental law OF
baseball a provision that will take
these evils out of it. 1t cannot be
a good thing for a thing calling itself
a sport that it is within the power
of any individual to place a stone wal
in front of the advancement OF bal
player
Il want you gentlemen to go to the
/ foundation of this question and re
/ examine the question with an earnest
| faithful effort to see if you canno
! figure out a way to compose this thing
and eliminate your differences and &c
| out of the situation this thing tina
some day will surely rise to plague

ANT|-RED RUSSIAN
LAUDS U. S. STAND
Quotes Gompers as Vigorous
Foe of BoIshevism; Sees
End of Soviet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associat ted Press.
NEW YORK. March o5.-Georse r.
Stroomillo, a Russian labor leader
who arrived in the United States
this week and conferred with Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor, has issued a
statement regarding present condi-
tions in his country.
He quoted Mr.. GomperS as uphold
ing the position taken by Russian
labor against bolshevism and prom
ising that Stroomillo's arguments
about the distressing experiences of
workingmen and peasants would be
distributed throughout this country
for the information of American
labor.
Mr.. Gompers, the Russian labor
leader said. authorized him to say
that the labor movement in the
United States would not give coun-
tenance to bolshevism, either in this
country or Russia. and that the labor
movement stood for the right of the
Russian people to exercise their
function to- determine their form of
government.
Stroomillo is member of the board
of trade unions of metal workers of
by the trade onions of Ural to pro-
ceed to other countries for the pur-
pose of warning labor against bolshe-
visit principles.
Equipped with statistics concerning
the destruction of Russia's industries
transport and agriculture under the
bolsheviSt regime, he said. he is pre-
pared to show that the condition of
'the workingmen under the bolshevist
dictatorship of the system of mill
tarization of labor is even worse than
that of the peasants. While the
greater part of the Russian peasan-
try, spread over an imme nse territory
is out of reach of the bolshevist die
tatorship and is able at least to live
its own life, the Russian working
class as whole is the immediate suf-
ferer under the bolshevist regime"
las the result of the destruction of
industries" said Mr.. Stroomilio. 1.-The
Russian proletariat has shrunk to
one-fifteenth of its former size
The Russian working class" he
added. shares the gratitude which
I'll the Russian people feel toward the
people and the government of the
United States for their policy of un-
selfish friendship toward Russia"

LEAGUE NOT NOTIFIED
THAT NICARAGUA QUITS
Secretary Without Official Com

tion's Withdrawal.

GENEVA, March 24-The secretary
of the league of nations today informed
the Associated Press that no official
communication had been received from
Nicaragua containing that country's
withdrawal from the league of nations
owing to the excessive expense attached
to membership.
1t is considered in league circles here
that there is some misunderstanding.
There have been, however, several un-
official complaints received here on the
heavy expenses of league membership
A dispatch from San Salvador We'd
nesday said Nicaragua had begun nego-
tiations to secure permission to resign
her membership in the league. The
information was obtained from mes
sage from Managua. the capital of
Nicaragua. which said that it was cost
ing Nicaragua $4,000 per month to re-
tain a place in the league and that the
Nicaraguan government now owed the
league $4S, 900 for a years membership.
