ST,LOU|S PROTESTS
MERCENERY SPIRIT
BEHIND S0X DEAL

st. Louis, July 25.-(By A. Po-
Vigorous protest against the pur-
chase by the New York Yankees Of
Infielder Joe Dugan and Outfelder
Elmer Smith from Boston was sent
today to Baseball Commissioner
Lands, and B. 3. Johnson and John
l.. Heydler, respectively presidents
of the American and National
Leagues, by f. W. A. Vcster. prcsi-
dent of the st. Louis Chamber OF
Commerce.
IF the holder of the highest
sooner the game follows the tainted
sports of the past the better. No
red-blooded American can cheer
while a team that purchases the
pennant as the highest bidder, romps
to victory over less fortunate, small
er, and consequently more moder-
ately financed clubs.
IF the dollar mark is to be the
emblem of victory in the baseball
world, the American people Will
have to take more seriously the
detrimental disclosures of the past
and fairly judge that it is true that
baseball has sold its birthright.
certainly organized baseball can
obviatc the condition that permits
one competitive club to be indirectly
under permanent financial obligation
to another club or to those holding
IN this in the same league. Can the
fans cheer a contest between the
debtor and creditor as genuine =?
Can the debtor be expected to par
ticipate while under threat Of fore
closure?
The St. Louis Chamber Of Com
merce is voicing its protest to Won
because we are sure that YOU and
those who have lifted baseball to its
popular pedestal will seek some
remedial methods so that the matter
Of winning will continue to be de-
clded on the field and not in the box

Williams Field on September 6.
This is the first time in the mem

that Connie will send his first

the fans OF Central Maine real

IF Ben gets home in time for the

able that local fans will see a new

authority that Ben has secured the
services Of two first class mounds
men since he has been away.

ANNUAL BANQUET
 OF SPANISH CLUB
President Reams Outlines Plans of Club for the
 Coming Year

The annual banquet of the Spanish American club was held last night in the private dining room at the Hill- man hotel with a perfect attendance recorded. The newly elected officers for the ensuing year were installed.
 The banquet opened with well come address given by E. C. Horton. the retiring president of the club, who has several terms in that office. Mir. Horton bade everyone to fall 10" and enjoy the evening. Charles F. Harold. secretary of the Birming- ham Civic Association. was the next speaker and spoke upon The Bond Issue for Good Roads"
 J. A. Reams, the new president, de- livered his acceptance address and spoke enthusiastically upon what the club has already achieved and upon what he considered the club would do in 1922.
 Although our club Is not large one, we have representatives here to- night from all parts of tho world" stated MT. Reams. Russia, France, Spain. Babylonia, Cuba, Mexico, and almost every South American coun- try is represented here tonight. We are cosmopolitan"
 Jose Justo responded to MT. Reams address in behalf of Spain, hls na- tive country.

continue to conduct the business of their departments, until the new min istry is formed.
 When the Associated Press cor respondent called at M. Briands modest apartment at six o'clock this evening he was told by the maid; "The president (Premier) sleeps; he is very tired"
 Later in the evening, after resting, M. Briand met the newspapermen and told them that he was definitely out Of power Under present conditions he declined Ito row in the republics galleys.''
 Any way" he added, 'ft would be indecent to remain longer than year in power. It is just year since Leigue's cabinet fell. One can govern only with a solid majority; 1t is not enough to have ones speeches ap- plauded."
 M. Briand expressed regret that the Parliament and the country had not appreciated the value of the achieve ments at Cannes.

 STREET CAR KNOCKED FROM TRACK BY AUTO


 Selma, January 12.-(Special) )--A collision between street car and an automobile at the intersection of Washington and Selma streets at , o'clock this morning resulted in the street car being knocked completely off the track and rolling down the paved street for 30 or 40 feet. The automobile was driven by Julien smith of Selma. Mir. Smith was ap- preaching the crossing at very slow speed and had his curtains in place, on account of the extreme cold. which obstructed his view of the approach ing car. Mir. Smith and all five pas sengers on the car at the time es- capped uninjured. The quickness of Motorman John Arnold in applying the brakes Is believed to be all that kept his car from making an un- ceremonious entrance through the front door of the Selma Steam laun- dry, directly opposite. Considerable damage was done Mir. Smiths car, and the front step was demolished on the street car.

receive bullets from behind. He can face the bullets of the enemy, but he must not receive any from his own country"
 NJ. Briand called on President Mil lerand Immediately after leaving the chamber. He remained with the pres dent for only a few minutes, then he informed the press representa- tives;
 My resignation Is absolutely final eoulP not continue to govern under such conditions. Of course, l shall not return to Cannes, but l hope my resignation will not casse conclusion of the Genoa conference"
 Entire Cabinet
 With Nj. Briand went his entire ca binet and after conferring with the presidents of the Senate and Chamber. NJ Millerand called upon NJ. Poincare to form a new ministry. NJ. Poineare tentatively agreed to this, but asked for a few hours In which to consult his friends. He promised to give final answer to- morrow.
 M. Peret. president of the cham Der, before proceeding to Elysee pal ace. said to the Associated Press cor respondent and others: France is facing a situation which is as gloomy as the darkest days of the war. When the Germans were at Chateau Thierry M. Joincare (then President of the republic) overlooking former personal differences between himself and M. Clemenceau, called in the man whom the country demanded. To- day, if, as Is freely said, there are differences of opinion between the President of the republic and M. Poincare, our President is big enough man to forget them."
 vivianPs Statement
 Rene Viviani, former premier, who was one of the French delegation at the Washington conference, said, under present circumstances the life of a statesman in France is impos sible. I fully approve M. Briand's attitude. but we shall do our best to help his successor in the work of restoring France. The country will not find us in the way with petty personal quarreis."
 As is the custom, M. Mjllerand has asked the members of the cabinet to
