This ia perfectly fair to th' rest of th' players in th' two leagues, providing thatcha are able to see it that way. Most everybody will be glad If nothing happens to prevent th' holding of a world's series, because th' games will help out th' struggllna mug-nuts In a flnanelaf way. Of course, they are not thinking of that phaao of th' matter an' th' tack that they will be helped Is all th' more pleasing en that account. Reports has it that th' Huns are required t' do considerable training on cinder paths before they are sent into th' front lines.

CHASE CHASED. Thinking everything over, yuh gotta admit that suspending Hal Chase for th' rest of th' season sure was a drastic measure. A expert says that it was something like throwing a guy from off of a sinking ship. It is something like it, only a guy chucked from a sinking ship has got t' swim away right quick t' keep from being dragged down with th' boat.

Skilled American and British workmen in Mexican oil fields are threatening to leave, alleging their Uvea are unsafe, representatives of private oil Interests today declared. State Department officials had heard nothing of such a step recently, although for many months skilled workers have been dissatisfied with their protection, it is said. Would Be Blow To Navies. It is obvious that these men would hold up tbe oil supply to the naviea of Kngland and the tfnited States and would be a serious blow to war plana. Bandlta have recently robbed and murdered several white men in the Tarn-pico district and a number of payroll robberies have occurred, oil men bare say.

Following latest reported outrages last month, it is said, a protest was sent to American officials asking for protection. Foreignera are not permitted to curry arms for self-defense. Whether Carranxa will go through with the nationalisation of the oil lauds in Mexico is not known here, although oil men say that he will. State Department olhcials are not convinced of it. Oil Men Step Toward 8elxure.

Th Carranxa government, under the Constitution now in effect, is empowered to seize all mineral and oil lands. Oil representatives here assert thst the latent Carranxa decree stipulating the new oil excises Implies Government ownership of the oil wells nnd in effect da mands "rental" instead of "taxes." They charge that Carranu has made no offer of compensation in case he should tpke over the oil. Ambasssdor Fletcher, representing the United States, induced the Mexican Government to postpone operation of its decree several mouths, but has been ku-shle to get further postponement N. M.

SAIL FLAYING IS SECONDARY All The Men Have To Hold Down Real Jobs And No Fancy Salaries Are Faid. Harry Kane, former major league pitcher and later an umpire in the minors, now holding an official position with the Chino Copper Company at Santa Rita, N. comes to bat with an interesting communication on "copper league" baseball and reiterates the claims of the managers of thia industrial league that it is not to be classed with newcomers like the steel mills and ship yards in Methods. No prima donna salaries are being paid to ball players to camouflage as workmen by the copper concerns, says Kane, but it does offer positions at good pay to men who can do real work and gives them a chance to make neat money on the side playing ball in the Copper League or copper leagues, for there seem to be more than one of them. Kane writes with special reference to the league with which he is connected.

It is composed of four clubs, one representing Santa Rita, one Hurley, one Tyrone and the other. Fort Bayard, an Army camp, this team being composed of soldiers. Jobs Are Not Soft Ones. As an argument that players in this league really work Kane cites the jobs held by players of the Santa Rita team and he says none iB a soft one and that seven or eight hours a day is the regular working stout, except on Saturdays and Sundays. Here's the Santa Rita list and among it will be found names familiar to baseball fans in many sections Tommy Smith, manager, driller.

lioui 4J The losa of three straight games to the Newark Bears took most of the wind out of the Orioles' sails and also out of the fans, so as thia is an off-day, Bal-timoreans, no doubt, will devote their time and attention to the racecard which will be staged tomorrow at Marlboro. Thia will be the opening race meet of the fall campaign and Jack Dunn will have opposition during the remaining days of the week. However, the races will not hurt the bank roll of Jim O'Hara, for he is not only heavily interested in the Orioles, but in the Marlboro track as well. While the Birds now are out of the pennant fight, it will be interesting to watch their actions, for they still have several gameB to play with Binghamton, now leader of the New International League. The Cobblers have been soundly whipped both here and on their own ground' by the Dunnmen, and the knowledge of that fact is going to worry the Shoemakers as they sprint down the homestretch closely pursued by the Leafs.

Baltimoreans who go to Marlboro will have to leave at noon over the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis and complete the trip from the District of Columbia line over the Chesapeake Beach railroad. The Pennsylvania, which has carried the race crowd in the past, will not hare a train. Race patrons have been hungry for the ponies' return and probably will turn out in big numbers for the Southern Maryland meet, for the Marlboro track is about the most picturesque small oval in the State. Washingtouians also will be liberal patrons, for their trip to Marlboro will be short and many will motor there. Of course, it will be the big event of the season for the farmers of Prince George's county.

Seven races will be run daily and practically all the horses seen on the twice-around ovnls last spring will be on hand to earn their share of the oats. The game officials as in the past will be on the job, and it looks as if Marlboro is in for a big time. Then, after a lay-off of a week, the bnugtnils will get started the first week in September at the Timonium Fair. This will be the last opportunity of the year for half-milers, und every owner will be there for the spoils. An intermission of a (lay, Monday, September 9, will be in order before the big circuit will start at Havre de Grace.

Even with opposition in New York, the Harford county track will not want for horses or but the absence of players with big bank rolls may be noticed. Jimmy Sehaller, who used to ride at Pimlico a number of years ago, passed through Baltimore yesterday on his way to Gettysburg to join the tank squad. He had been riding in South America for several years, but he couldn't stay out of the war. He las been wearing a uniform for nire months and is an expert automobile mechanic, which may enable bim to rua a tank into Berlin. He is 2(i years old, a native of Chicago and hopes to return to Maryland after the Kaiser has been defeated, to pilot some of George Sherman's leppers.

Guy Bedwell always has been' regarded as an astute horseman. Some say that what he doesn't know about horses hnrdlv is worth knowing. He has a man, Commander 3. K. L.

Ross, back of him with plenty of money, and money is no object when an exceptional thoroughbred bobs up. The latest purchase Bedwell put over for his emnlover was when he induced Poison to part with Billy Kelly, a 2-year-! old, for Kelly nas won two straight races for Ross, and his biggest victory was scored in the Grub Bag handicap yesterday at Saratoga. Kelly was banded a package of 135 pounds, which was 11 to 35 more than some of the other youngsters toted. Kelly covered the distant in 1.112-5, and, of course, headed the procession. This was some feat, for seldom iu recent years have babies been asked to carry so much weight.

The beauty about Kellv is that he is at home in all sorts of going. He will be seen in Maryland in the fall. After the close of last season Bedwell went into Kentucky and bought Cudgel from Schorr for a reported price ol $30,000. Bedwell probably wanted a horse that he thought was the equal or superior Of Omav Khayyam, and so far ho has the bet 4-yeav-old out this season, because Hnurless has been retired and Omar has not been to the races. Cudgel la reported to have cost Rest $30,000.

and while in the Blue Grasp. State Bedwell was instructed to get Marathon, who was to head Ross' farm in Canada. This horse, who is the daddy of Hare, cost Ross, it is said, $30,000 more. So, for three Pieces of horseflesh, within a period of less than a vear, Rosa has turned over nearly $00,000. which shows that the Canadian millionaire hag faith In racing.

Young Wins Gams Fop Lansdowne. In what proved to be one of the fastest and most Interesting games played In the Baltimore Amateur League this season, the Lansdowne C. C. defeated the St James team, 4 to 3. The feature of the game was the playing of Young, who stole third and then stole home in the ninth inning, thereby winning for his teammates.

People's Counsel Osborne I. Tellott has received a letter from Chief Counsel Bruce, of the Public Service Commission, accepting hia resignation, to take effect aa soon aa the application of the Consolidsted Oaa Electric Light and Power Company for permission to in-cresse its gaa rates has been disposed of.

Mr. Bruce ia now nut of the city en hia vacation. It is, therefore, not known whom he may hsve in mind for Mr. Yel-lott's position. The assumption is that he will name a new Assistant General Counsel before Mr.

Tellott retires, so thst the person appointed may be prepared to assume his duties aa soon sa the position becomes vacant Chairman Towers Returns. Chairman Towers, of the commission, who has been taking a vacation, returned to hia office tbia morning. He had not expected to come back until the last of the week, Dilt as the gas case will ne taken up on Monday he wishes to familiarise himself before the hearinxa becin with certain matters that will have to be dealt with in detail lateron. This morning Mr. Yellott, acting for Mr.

Bruce, handed down several decisions of more or less public interest In one he held that the jurisdiction of the commission to regulate the rates charged by railroad companiea for stor ing baggage ana parcels has been suspended by the proclamation of the Presi' dent placing the railroads under Gov ernment control. In another decision Mr. Yellott held thst the commission has no jurisdiction over a ferry operated by a Board of County Commissioners aa a part of county roads system. The query Mr. Yellott answered came from someone wautinx to know what Dower the com mission has to regulate the ferry connecting the road from Camp Parole with Tayloraville, on the south aide of South river.

Aaaiu Mr. Tellott. minting an opinion given by Attorney-General Bitchie when lie was Assistant General Counsel to the Public Service Commission, ruled that under the law forbidding common curriers from giving passes, free transpor tation may be given ntate onictaia wnen traveling on Mate business only. Question For Carrier. The Anti-pass law expressly provides that state and Government officials, when traveling on state or Government business, may be transported free of charge or at reduced rates, sir.

nitcnie, in hia oninion, with which Mr. Yellott fully agrees, held that the mere fact that a persou is a state or uovernmeni omciai does not entitled him to free transportation or reduced transportation unless he is traveling upon state or Oovern- ment business, under such circumstances aa would entitled him to charge his traveling expenses to the state or Gov eminent. It then becomes merely a question for the carrier to determine for itself. There ia nothing In the law re quiring carriers to make any concessions to state or Hovernment employes. This Question came before Mr.

Tel lott upon an inquiry from one of the officials or tne Htate department or Health who wished to know if the com mission haa jurisdiction over the toll bridge across the Pocomoke river and whether or not the company operating the bridge can permit state officiate to cross it free of charge. Jurisdiction over toll bridges was given the commission by the Legislature several years ago, GERMANS ARE USING WOMEN IN ARMY Private W. E. Smith, Former Baltl- morean, Writes That Four Were Captured. That Germany is using women in its army is the statement of Private William K.

Smith, now in France with the American Expeditionary Forces, contained in letter to hia parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Smith, 2547 Madison avenue. Smith is in an infantry regiment that has been in action near Chateau Thierry aa a reserve force.

He says that not a man haa been lost from his company. "Four German women soldiers were taken prisoners the other dny." he said, "so you can Judge for yourself the power of the German Army todny. It won't be long now before the war will be over aud I will he home again. "It is beginning to get hot here, and while It is hard marching, nevertheless it is better than the rain, which followed us for almost two weeks, "I might any that our company fig. tired In that famous Chateau Thierry.

Soissons drive aud as a reserve force did not lose a man, and had only two slight injuries. Have been under shrapnel fire several times and, as we dig In quickly, the Germans have had a hard time finding us. They are on the run, and from latest dope the Anstrians quit cold." Smith also gives unstinted praise tn the Overseas Sim, which, he says, all Baltimore boys enjoy. "Hesse notify the Stinpnper abnnt my change of address," fie says. "I have not received any issue later than June 24, but no doubt it ia en route and will trrlve shortly.

I hope to get it in the next mail. It is a wonderful little oafier and all the Baltimore boys enjoy reading it." STOLE 31 SUNPAPERS Frank Corkran, 14 years old, 620 South Decker avenue, was fined $1 snd costs, amounting to 124(1, by Judge Williams, In the Juvenile Court, today for stealing a bundle of 211 copies of Tut this morning, The bundle was left In a doorway at KM wood and Eastern avenues for a carrier, Patrolman William F. pi liner, who was In biding to watch the paiiers, told Judge Wll-Hams that he saw Corkran take them and put them under a strap around his shoulders.

SHAMROCKS HAVE HOPE St. Andrew's Expects To Battle. To The Last Ditch For Coveted Semi-Pro Pennant. TO PLAY HIGHLANDS SUNDAY Double Victory For Dr.

These games are expected to decide the winner ol the race, aa a double win will put St. Andrew's within half a game of the leaders and give them a chance to tie the knot in the final contests on September 1. In the other games Sunday the Shipbuilders and Irving ton will clash at Jrvington. President T. Bayard Williams of the league announced this morning that the weekly meeting would be held tomorrow instead of thia afternoon.

St. Andrew's double victory over the Shipbuilders has encouraged followers of the champions into the belief that Dr. Cook's men will make an eleventh-hour rush to the pennant. Tom Brown, who pitched both games against the Dry Docks last Sunday, will work the first tilt against the Highlands. Johnny Bates is cutting off many hits in the outfield for the Shipbuilders.

Don Brown is another member of the Shipbuilders who is bear at catching fly balls. When the league season closes Bill Hummell expects to keep his Irviugton club together and play a number of games at Irvington. He is counting on getting Frits Maisel to play for him when the American League shuts up shop. Doc Kerr, former Terrapin and Oriole, is catching finely for the Shamrocks and also getting his hits. Bob Maul is na a hitting rampage for Irvington.

He also has emulated Archie McDermott on the bases. INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR LEAGUE Standing Off The Clubs. Won. Uiet, P.r. Ptmlieo Athlete Clnh 13 Alhrerht Albletic 13 (herle.

The committee on rent profiteering of the Maryland Council of Defense has effectively checked rent profiteering.

This is the reason why the committee has held no landlord up to "pitiless publicity" snd why it has not recommended prosecutions by State or Federal authorities, according to W. H. DeCourcy Wright the chairman. Four weeks hsve passed since the committee was appointed and a great many people have been talking about Its failure to take any action. The committee had said that it had found evidence of profiteering, although It did not believe the evil to be widespread.

It had said that at least one alleged profiteer had defied it, but it did not carry out its threat to expose mm, Ana so neonle naturally were asking what was the matter with the Defense Coun cil's committee on rem protuccring i Profiteering. At Minimum. Explaining the Committee's course, Mr. Wright says that the committee feels that it actually has accomplished material results and that it has reduced profiteering to a minimum, but that it probably has not impressed the public so forcibly because it "has not gone nbout the work in a sensational Quietly, cautiously, tactfully the committee probed complaints, the chairman asserts, resllaing that it worked under legal handicaps and that by proceeding otherwise than aa it did just aa gerious an injustice might have been worked Htnnng certain landlords as they were tn wnrkim among certain tenants. What the committee sought was not a fight with the property owners, but justice for their tenants, aud it felt that it could obtain that justice better by diplomacy than by force.

Only One Objected. In the list of landlords who have been called to account by the committee only one failed to respond to moral suasion, so fur as Mr. Wright is aware. Men nnd women who had raised rents to an unjustifiable degree lowered them, and speculators who had bought large ntimhera of small houses and ordered the tenants to buy or move withdrew their notices to vacate in the case of tenants who would not agree to buy. The man who defied the committee Is probably the best-known apartment house owuer and real estate operator In Baltimore.

Complaints from some of hia tenants indicatnl that the increase in his apartment rentals 10 per cent, the commitwe thought should be the limit in Baltimore ranged from If! to Si 1-8 per cent. The man protested that he was not nrofiteering and flatly refused to submit his books to certified public accountants to be employed by the Council of Defense, As final resort the committee employed en agent to canvass bis apartment bouses With the exception of one house, to whKh the agent win refused admission by the janitor, fair representation of the trnanta was interviewed. This Investigation disclosed an average in crease In rentals of something less than 10 per cent, and In the cases where the percentage was higher there apparently were extenuating cimimatancrs. Ten Psr Cent. Fair Inerssss.

Much property In Baltimore, Mr. Wright says, was carried either without reasonable profit or actually St loss before the war conditions brought shout ahortnge In housing facilities. Then la no reason, therefore, In the committee's opinion, why the Increased rentals should necessarily be In proportion to rental charged before the wnr. On the whote, the committee thinks that 10 tier rent, is a fair rate of Increase, but It recognise. Instances la which a much higher rale Is quite defensible.

By no means the least Itniiortnnt achievement of the committee, Mr, Wright feels, ia what It has prevented. He is nf the opinion that profiteering would be much more widespread had it not been for the fact that a rent profiteering committee was la existence snd thst the newspapers were willing to suit- port it. WILL TEST DRY DOCKS Camp Holabird Nine Will Stack Up Against Shipbuilders At Oriole Park Today. The soldier team representing Camp Holabird and the shipbuilding nine, representing the Bnltimore Dry Docks and Shipbuilding Company will clash in a double-header at Oriole Park this afternoon. Both teams are among the best in this section, the Dry Docks having in their line-up seven men from the New International League and the soldiers having a number of farmer college players.

In view of the fact tbnt Camp Holabird downed Sparrows Point last week, 5 to 3, the Dry Docks are eiecially anxious to beat the Soldiers. When the Pointers beat the Dry Docks about month ago Business Manager Jack Wade ays he had a joke team on the field. He says his present club, with Sam Frock as manager, is 100 per cent, stronger and folly able to cope with the Pointers, who have been going like a house aiirc Id the Steel League.
