TWO TEXAS LEAGUE CLUBS DETAINED IN CITY Weather Vicissitudes May Cause Shifts in Next Session's Texas Schedule. Interest in learning the situation In ton was intensified for members of the Houston and Waco clubs here Tuesday by the knowledge that two Texas league teams were detained in the Island city. With the conflicting and har. rowing reports, certainly for the most part founded, that were circulating over wrecked Houston Tuesday morning and afternoon, there was considerable anxiety over the personnel of the Shreveport and Galveston clubs. Syd Smith took the Shreveport club to Galveston Monday morning.

after the rain had already begun, but before anything of the force of the expected storm had struck either city. While Shreveport was going to Galveston Waco was coming to Houston. And according to all reports the Skippers were glad to get here. Believe them, yes. Eddie Donalds.

one of the league's leading pitchers, said that the weather reports on the approaching storm were common property in Galveston Sunday night, and that most of the Waco team were averse to remaining there over night. They made the Houston trip early Monday morning. Sasseen. the business manager of the Galveston club. was in Houston Monday afternoon and stayed over night at the Rice.

Early Tuesday morning he tried to reach Galveston, but like other parties had to retrace his steps. There is a decided possibility that the weather vissitudes of this week may cause an entire shift in the plans of the Texas league schedule for next season. The coast country is very susceptible to August and early September storms and heavy rains, and it does not require a big hurricane like that of Monday to put a baseball park out of commission for three or four days. While the Buffs were fortunate in coming through last ROD with almost a completed schedule. most of Beaumont's late games were' rained out.

while in 1915 Houston suffered a similar calamity. As the present Texas -league schedules are laid out. Southern clubs finish the SPASOn with Southern rivals and the Northern teams also play among themselves. But if a weather eve is kept on the almanac a changes may be made to have the South finish North. EMMET REILLY'S KICK ANSWERED BY WEATHER Change Those Signs at the Park to Improve Hitting Was.

His Monday Advice. the Houston management would change those glittering signs on the center field fences they would improve the batting of the Buffs 25 or 30 per cent." That was the advice tendered gratis by mett Reilly, the catcher of the Skippers. Monday afternoon, while the Waco club fancied itself only idle for couple of days due to rain, not foreseeing the calamity that would overtake West End. Monday night the weather man took Reilly's kick to beart and utterly did away with those gaudy sign boards that have proclaimed afar the merits of Stude Bread. Tidal Ware Flour and Old Forester etc.

Tuesday morning said signs were decorating real estate for blocks around. But it is the devout hope of many local athletes that when West End rises from the ashes of Monday's hurricane that more sober colors, and preferably, two colors of green will ment the distant fences. "Personally, have always hit well in the Houston park. and I like to play there, said Reilly. "But there is no question that those bewildering signs interfere with, batting effciency, the particularly of men who have to play half season, looking at them, as the Houston players do." Arch Tanner, diminutive Waco shortstop, who has played brilliantly here in every, a appearance, agrees heartily with Reilly.

The Associated Press communication between Dallas and Houston WAS cut early Tuesday morning, and none of the private wires, Western Union. Postal or Mackay had connection late last night. Almost anything may have happened in the world, of sport well as the world of news Tuesday, but when the tiny wires that gird the earth down in the vicinity of town, that town cut off from all knowledge of the world and its affairs. 11 da probable that only one game, it any, PARK WRECKED TO SUCH EXTENT THAT ALL GAMES FOR REMAINDER OF SEASON WILL BE TRANSFERRED Fences at West End Blown Down and the Roof of Grandstand Demolished.

Owners Believe $3000 Will Cover Damage -New and Improved Stand Will Be Erected for Next Year- Waco Went North Last Night. On top of a disastrous year, Anancially, due to many other causes, the Houston ball club sustained 8 heavy loss in the wind and rain storm of Monday night, the local park being wrecked to such an extent that the management announced definitely Tuesday that it would be 'Impossible to play more games here this season. remaining games are to be transferred soon as arrangements can be made and the luckless Buffs will be the first, Houston club since 1904 compelled to transfer games. West End prk, lying between Andrews, ven and Helner streets, on the San Felipe car line, is located in a section particularly bard hit by the terrific storm of Monday. This is the poorer section of the city and most of the structures in the vicinity are frame buildings of substantial character.

With nothing to break the force of the wind, the entire district WAS ravaged. West End lay at the mercy of the storm. The fences were blown down, the club house practically destroyed and the root and bleachers upper deck of the park demolished. The and grand stand remain practically undamaged, but a heavy financial loss lies in the destruction of the roof, which was whisked away as pletely as Joining the magic carpet carried in its the fight. heavy Most wind far from wreckage the Was park Itself.

In of the by painting alone the loss at the park is over $400, but the local owners are satiated that between $2500 and $3000 will cover the loss, instead of the drat estimate of $5000. The park itself is owned by the Flewellyn estate, but is occupied under a long term lease by the Houston Baseball association, jointly owned by Otto Sens and J. Doak Roberts. The association and not the estate is Interested In the improvement on the property and the loss is theirs. Both Sens and Roberts were eatly on the scene of action Tuesday estimating the damage and possible steps towards recovery.

It did not take long to determine on the necessity of transferring all games for the remainder of the seasOn. To put the park in a state for even temporary use would require so much time that the few weeks remaining before the close of the season do not justify it. And as the temporary work would bave to be completely remodeled for Dext season. the management would be lected to an even heavier drain on resources that would be justidable. The two Houston owners conferred with Ellis Hardy, manager of the Waco club, scheduled to play here Monday, Tuesday, today and morrow.

and after A decision that the hasty transfer of the remaining two games of the series would be unnecessary, the Waco club decided to leave last night. The Houston club will be idle for two days, but will probably play its drst transferred series at San Antonio on August 20. Starting with August 20, Houston had nine was played in the Texas league Tuesday, San Antonio supplying the only possible location of 8 game.

The park is one of the best aud most progressive in the Texas league. Tuesday was a busy for Mr. Sens, who is an extensive property owner here. He spent three hours in the morning in big car going from place to place to estimate on the night' damages, and he constituted himself a personal overseer of the business enterprises in the immediate vicinity of his Tremont hotel, notifying owners of property of damage done and in inany cases preparing negro labor to help in waving stock and goods in danger of injury from the rain. Despite the loss that the local club has sus tained this year, both Messrs.

Sens and Roberts appear optimistic. "We hare made good turns on our investment in other rears and we can hardly kick over a bad season. they say. Possibly 80, but there are few other owners that would not cavil at the blown fortune has dealt this season.

Again, the club that Anished in drat place last year broke under 'the strain of time this season. and after the frat third of the campaign put Itself completely out of the pennant race. And Houston.

On top of this sequence of events comes the destruction of the park. And vet the owners are optimistic and will build anew for next year. America might suddenly conclude that in its plans for national preparedness it needs for a time (and immediately) all the ammunition and arms private American factories can turn out. MIGHT.

PROVE EFFECTIVE MOVE BY U. S. Orders to these manufacturers to turn over their entire output to this government and to sell none to Europe it is declared could be successfully enforced as a last resort. Public announcement by the war department that the private factories had been asked to report their maximum capacities as a part of the administration's preparedness plans is regarded a8 significant. While the American government would not need the immense quantities of munitions ordered from American manufacturers by the allies it could well utilize the whole American output for 60 or 90 days in order to bring the army and navy supplies up to the standard recommended in past departmental reports to congress.

If the nations now receiving war munitions from the United States should happen to be cut off from that source of supply for even 60 days, it is believed that their embarrassment would be most serious and would probably bring home more forcibly than anything else the necessity for better treatment of American shipping and American cotton.

Inquiry as to Maximum of Private Factories Significant Relative British Cotton Program. By Walter S. Gard. WAS. GTON, August war has served to remove the veneer of civilization with a startling rapidity and at the present stage of the proceedings across the Atlantic there appears to be but one law that is recognized and that is the law of might.

It is beginning to dawn upon Washington that "notes" to foreign powers engulfed in this titanic struggle are extremely useless. Not leading, power in the world war, but has ignored international law. feel they are driven to it by that sterner' lawthe law of self preservation. Great Britain is not going to listen to any sentimental appeals concerning her attitude toward American cotton any more than this country is going to listen to the idealists and sentimentalists who are preacning a cessation of business relations with the warring nations of Europe. Lord Beresford's statement of Britain's position anent the American cotton crop is precisely the statement.

any other European country would make concerning the United States if similarly- situated. Beresford said, 'Neutral powers should be informed that we intend to maintain our maritime rights as a belligerent. of what use to us is the mastery of the seas unless we profit by its advantages?" The master upon the sea or the master upon the land is not going to surrender either mastery at this perilous time and the associations and citizens who are urging this or that course upon President Wilson in this crisis must keep that in mind. WHAT IS U. S.

GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Stronger and stronger grows the demand from Great Britain that cotton be declared contraband. The moment that step is taken a mighty voice or protest will go up from the South. It is easy enough to protest. What is the United States going to do about it? The suggestion outlined to the department of state the other day by Representative R. L.

Henry is being given does not look for a favorable some consideration, but the department on the part of Great Britain. The idea proposed is that this nation shall take up with the Entente allies and with Germany, Austria and their allies. the proposition that a formal agreement be entered into jointly and severally by the European powers to permit the entry into Europe this fall and next winter of at least 10,000,000 bales of American cotton. The agreement binding the consignment of this cotton to European countries would stipulate that not one pound of this cotton should be used in the manufacture of ammunition or any death dealing engine to be used in the war. of this cotton would be used in the manufacture of clothing and similar domestic ne- cessities.

WOULD HAVE AMERICANS SUPERVISE DISTRIBUTION. It is further suggested that the cotton could be distributed abroad under the personal supervision of the American consuls and consular agents and representatives of the state department, to add to the certainty that the guaranty concerning the use to which it would be put should not be violated. In order to keep down entanglements concerning the ships used in this traffia it has been proposed that the United States government might charter the necessary vessels to transport this cotton, thus making the supervision lof the American government suuntil it is delivered to the factory in Eupreme from the time the a cotton is sold rope. Such a proposal 'might win at any time save this when the only recognized power is the power of force and might. And this brings those who are seeking safe channels of outlet for the 1915 cotton crop to come forward with the gestion that the United States has in her possession at this critical juncture weapon as powerful as Britain's mastery of the sea and Germany's mastery of Central Europe.

In case Great Britain refuses to modify her orders in council and increases her interfererence with neutral commerce or declares cotton to be contraband, it is suggested by officials in Washington that YOU WILL AFPRECIATE THIS IMPORTANT SUBJECT Parents! Here is a serious subject for you to consider. The little folk who are just now starting to school are facing a severe tax on their vision.
