FOUL KflS TURNED OUT A REAL GLU

WOMEN NOW WORK IN RAIL REPAIR SHOPS

By E. C. HAMILTON (United From &-.S.B Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Juno 21. Picking up a baseball club torn by dissensions?, and lacking In discipline, U Foh'l has succeeded in turning out an American league baseball club that is not only able to hold its own with any of the other clubs, but for a time last season was a prominent factor in the pennant race, and has been kicking up some dust this year. Fohl had nothing to start with. Joe Jackson had been sold, but Tris Speaker had been purchased to replHce him. His pitching staff was as much of a Joke as anything else, with Guy Morton out of the running and the others only desultory winners. His infield was badly cracked, with Ray Chapman badly hampered by a cracked leg. c Since Fohl has arrived he has made over the out. eld, with Speaker, Roth and Oraney, and has laid aside some youngsters who are perfectly able to take care of themselves when the occasion arises. He has planted Iouis Gusito at first base, and the former Pacific coast leaguer has all the marks of a comer. Perhaps the best success of Fohl has been In his development of pitchers. Covaleskie. Lambeth, Eagrby and Gould have all been developed under the tutelage of Fohl. Joe Wood has been purchased, and reports say he Is show-

MINORS TO CLOSE UP IF WAR LUSTS UNTIL leiyeiES say NEW TORK, June 21. J. W. Morris, president of the Texas league, and J. W. Bell, president of the Western association, in statements yesterday expressed the belief that few minor leagues will open their parks next year if the war continues.
