Sproul has called upon Pennsylvanlans to day to Join the Red Cross. He said in a statement yesterday: "I have marveled at the stories told me of what the Red Cross has been doing In France, and Italy, und Rus sia. I-have wondered at the valor and heroism of the men and women of the Red Cross ang_back of it all I see the marvelous support of the American people, who have never fulled the Red Cross when it called for help. "This support must continue. If the Red Cross is to depend hereafter for its working memberships, as announc ed by Chairman Davidson, It means that all of us must be members. We know what the Red Cross did during the Galveston flood, the Eastland wreck, the Tltnnlc disaster, the Perth Amboy explosion, the recent influenza epidemic, and similar catastrophes. We must make It possible for it al ways to be in readiness for such calls. "We must make It possible for It to continue its work in Europe. The de mand upon us is insignificant, momen tarily speaking. We are asked to spend 81 for a membership. 'All you need,' says the Red Cross, 'ls a heart and a dollar."

IS.—The roster for the coming season of the Chicago Na tional League team has been so far completed that it was said to-day at the club's headquarters Manager Mitchell would probably enter the N pennant race with the same playars he had at the close of last season, with the addition of Grover Cleveland Alexander, star pitcher. Thirteen of the Cub players now are in the United States service, but the management expects that nearly all of them will be discharged 1 efore the opening of the baseball season. Unless Manager Mitchell .lakes some trades,, it was said, the lineup at the start is likely to be: Alexander, pitcher; Killifer, catch er; Merkle, first base; Kilduff, second base; Hollocher, shortstop: I'ick. third base: Flaek, right field; Paskert, cen ter field; Mann, left field. Vaughn, Douglas, Tyle- and several more pitchers probably will be on the bench, besides Infielders Deal, Zelder, Wortman and McCabe. The Johnson-Frazee feud that threatened to disrupt the maj:>r leagues at a time when harmony among dltih owners Is the crying need of the hour, burst forth afresh yester day when the owner of the world's champion Red Sox unlimberal his heavy artillery upon the American League potentate. Frazee's pointed retort is In re sponse to Johnson's deliberate attempt to befog the controversy over the for mation of the National Commission by dragging gambling Into the discus sion. Although it is an open secret that gambling on a smalt scale ob tains In most of the major league ball parks, Johnson has singled out Frazee for attack, and in a statement issued Saturday hinted broadly that unless Frazee made haste to unload his base ball interests in Boston, Johnson would deprive him of his franchise. Frazee divulged for the first time that the recent meeting of the Amer ican League in Chicago was not so peaceful as Johnson would have the ,public believe. Johnson was opposed ■to the utmost In his efforts to swing a unanimous -Cote of the league in favor of retaining the National Com mission as at present constituted. Frazee and Charles Comlskey, tpwner of the White Sox. took a firm stand in behalf of a one-man Commission. Frazee deplores Johnson's efforts to make gambling an Issue in the pres ent controversy. He sets forth that vigorous measures have been em ployed to stamp out the evil In Bos ton and In every other ball park on the major league circuits, and calls attention to the fact that Johnson was discriminated against, when it is an open secret that gambling on a small scale obtains at all grounds. Extermination, Says Frnsee "It has seemed to me to be a war of extermination on the part of Mr. Johnson." Frazee asserted, "and has been ever since I bought the Boston American League ejuh. The state ments he has made that he would drive me out of baseball are too lidlc ulous to dignify with an answer. .So far as being forced to sell my club, this also is too absurd to deny." That Johnson hns had enough pf Frazee" and desires him out of base ball because of his aggressive antag onism, has all too obvious to baseball men for months. There hns been hitter entity between them ever since Frazee bought the Red Pox trom Joseph Lannin without even consulting Johnson. Whether Johnson would dare attempt to force Frazee -ojt of the game under the present circum stances is doubted. Frazee has called Johnson's bluff and now awaits the latter's move. The Boston owner Intends to resist to the utmost every effort of the presi dent of the league to dislodge htm. If Johnson should make good his threat and file formal charges against Frazee of permitting gambling In Ms ball park, it would precipitate \n ex posure from which Wie fair name cf baseball would be sure to suffer. That Johnson, who draws $25,000 a year as salary, should take It upon himself'publicly to rebuke the Boston club owner is the subject of '.he fol lowing pointed paragraphs In Fra zee's retort: "I have at all times sought to eon elder Mr. Johnson's position, but 1 can not allow myself to think the man who is drawing a salary to protect the Interests of the American League could so far forget himself as to charge a club owner with permitting gambling In a ball park, to .vent ills personal spite upon me simply >ecajse I insist on managing my own busi ness, in which my own money is in vested. "I think thnt Mr. Comiskey and oth er have the same feeling in the matter as to managing their own affairs as I have, but Mr. Johnsan feels very content to lot them alone and use me as a particular target. Jf Mr. Johnson has any desire to go into the gambling situation In bßseball parks other than my park in Boston. 1 will be pleased to go Into the natter with him as fully as he may oesire. "I am sick and disgusted with the entire affair. Isn't It a sad commen tary upon the good name of baseball to think that s man in Johnson's po sition, representing investments of close to n million ■dollars, would "top to, such tactics as he has employed In delving Into my personal business af fairs?" All of which weathervanes a decid edly hectic season for the winter league. JohnAon has picked a tartar <• grajtea. and. unless lie can produce DECEMBER 18, 1918. a buyer to meet Prnzee's price 'n the near future, a clash that will shake the very foundations of the sport is oound to occur.
