10 PENNSYLVANIA FOUR-CITY TRAPSHOOTERS' LEAGUE STARTS TOMORROW--ALL SPORTS WASHINGTON IS NOT FOR SALE Ban Johnson Says So, but An other Story Shows Deal Almost Closed New York. June 21.—Ban John son, sweating under the published announcement that the Washington American League club was about to bo removed, probably to Brooklyn, has denied that such a thought has entered his mind or the minds of his club owners. In spite of Johnson's statements it may be stated with some authority that negotiations for the removal of the club not only have been started, but probably will be carried out next winter. Whether Brooklyn Wl " *- ,e given the club or whether It will be sent to some other city cannot be learned. It is believed doubtful in well-Informed circles, however, that Brooklyn will be chosen, for the very good reason that Brooklyn is having a deuce of a time supporting its championship National League team. Johnson's Denial Johnson took advantage of the published announcement to state tjiat the American League would re ®in its club In Washington. If only for sentimental reasons, declaring the American League would not think of the financial end of the game If they could continue to hold the club Ifl the national capital. He didn't speak for Ben Minor nor for Clarke Griffith, who are no more r.oted for their penchant for giv ing money away than any other base ball magnates. Loser lor Some Time The Washington club has been a loser for several years In spite of the fact that the city is a center for tourists and that the club has on its roster the famous Walter Johnson. Even Johnson's drawing power has slumped until this year it is prac tically nil in the capital. He has not been so effective as in former years and is being supported by a cast so j poor it is hardly counted a factor : in the league. Baltimore was not a paying city when it was in the American League, ] but it might become so if it were j given another chance, and even To- 1 ronto has been talked of. Every one of these cities, however, has an In- ! ternational League club, and there would be some difficulty in getting this organization to waive Its rights. 32 British Vessels Sunk by German Submarines During the Last Week London.

"America's entry Into the war has spurred us on In our charitable work. We American wives of English hus-- bands have been working inde fatigablv since the beginning of the war. Now that our native country has thrown in Its lot with the Allies we are more than pleased with our selves. Our work will continue with added interest." Lady Paget has ben foremost In her charity work since the outbreak of hostilities. She has gathered from America 3,500,000 socks and these, with tens of thousands of garments such as underwear, pajamas and shirts, have been sent to British fighting men in need of them.
