Four Clubs

-~TExARKANA, Tex, April H.
E-Fans of the Lone Star league
L of different opinion concerning
e loops future.
Since announcement was made
lat the season will begin with
RIy four clubs-Tyler, Sherman
klestine and Texarkana-many
blowers have pointed out that the
kgue is compact and substantial
trough the elimination of the weak
|Ams, and that the success OF the
I29 season is assured. Just as
Eany assert that the dropping out
Mexia and Corsicana, and later
Paris, forecasts collapse Of the
ytire league.
THE decision to start with four
libs was reached after they and
hris, a member of the league last
lar, met to ballot upon which club
be dropped. The meeting
as scheduled to be a stormy one,
1t Paris came to the rescue by
slinuuishing its franchise volun-
.rily. The Hustlers' management
AIRED the town might be struggling
long in a financial rut by mid
lason, while now Paris is in a
bsition to come back into the cir
hit shot / a sixth town be dis
with professional baseball
In commenting upon the situa-
on, T. Fl. Fisher, president of the
bne Star loop, said the four team
|rcuit was the best decision that
buid have been reached. because
"a sixth franchise had geel plac-
that club probably would have
ZEN shaky throughout the season
ne to a late start.
There have been many Glass D
agueS successful with only four
ubs,' he declared. The Virginia
best season was with four
ans. The Cooper league and the
rizona State league had but four
ubs one season as did the Gulf

BRITAIN HAS EDGE
IN TONNAGE TABLE
First Comparison of Relative
Strength on STANDARD Ton"
Basis Shows U. S. Loss.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The first table of relative Anglo
American naval strength which has
compared the, two fleets on q basis of
standard" tons, made public yesterday
by the Navy, gives Great Britain 1885,
1872 tons compared with 1,293,972 tons
for the United States.
Under the new figures the United
States loses 59.401 tons by comparison
with the last tables issued by the Navy,
while Great Britain's total tonnage
decrease is only 21.105. This increases
the British preponderance from l2,964
to 1850 tons.
In announcing the revised table. the
Navy said the standard ton measure
ment had been employed in the recent
limitation negotiations, and that the
new. figures were made public lin view
of the differences in figures as to the
strength of the United States and the
British Empire appearing in various
papers,"
Britain Gains ON Cruisers.
The new table placed the American
cruiser tonnage, the crux Of the nego-
tiations for q new limitation conference,
ut 3OO,5 instead of 30S,000. The
cruisers of the Omaha class were listed
as of 1850 tons instead Of $500 tons
as previously. The British cruiser ng-
ure was increased from 3s7,300 tons
to 401, 791.
In airplane carriers the British ton
advantage is raised from $1,000 to 25,-
264. The American destroyer prepon-
derance has been reduced by 1907 tons
and the advantage over Britain In sub
marine tonnage decreased 1.2S4 tons.
No change was made on the figures
for capital ships, because the wash
ington limitation treaty provided THAT
ali such vessels then built should be
measured in accordance with the
method then employed IN their respec-
tive countries. The British Rooney
and Nelson, completed subsequent TO
the treaty, are the only. capital ships
measured in standard tons.
The figures given include effective
fishting ships of all classes, whether
built, building or authorized, with the
exception of IL American deStroyers
authorized in 1915, for which no ap--
preparation has ever been made. The
complete American 15-cruiser building
program Is included, as are the British
Surrey and Northumberland. cruisers
on which construction has been post
poned.
Variance IL Admitted.
The last tables made public by the
Navy were issued In July, based on the
best information available to the intel
ligence branch at that time. Admit
tedly they were not strictly accurate, as
the tonnage of all classes of ships was
given in terms of national measure
ments, which in the case Of Great
Britain did not compare with the
American tonnages.
The tonnage table follows:
