Rome talk of reiving the salary limit from fl,W to ti,m, . the limit last year, way heard around tha Lincoln hotel. Ducky Holmes of Uf.coln and Bbrlght of Wichita are said to favor the bigger limit and are trying to get the other mollis to see it their way. The club owners were ' guests of the Rotary club at a, dltmnr today. Over M rotarisns attended - snd, to nay the least, it was a sflrtted base ball meet Irif.

Three club owiktb c4 the league, Rourke, Henlon and Savldge, are also Kotarlans. O'NeJII Iaterrepta Simm&. President Zehruae was the principal speaker. Just as the new prexle. who holds quite a reputation as a master of the English leas-vase,, had started to turn loose the flowery stuff, Tip" O'Neill broke into the . meeting. He knocked ever a few chairs in a wild dash to the front of the room, inter ruptlng President Zehrung. He waved a Mine case filled with league records which he says he refused to turn over te SVe li ning and shouted. "I'm going to keep these records until I get good and ' ready to turn 'em over and all you guys can go to biases." With' a few more gestures and exclematlona he turned around, beat It hence and slammed the. door as he departed. The "Tip ONel'l" was a Rotarlan caricature of the real Tip. He had Tip's mustache, hsnd rolled cigarette and six carat diamond and ail the rest. The bit of by-play drew a big laugh from the magnates and Itotarlan alike. Streaele Over Schedele.

In the Southern league,' last year, and Mers of Indianapolis. Both players are free e gents and have been given flattering of fer fcy Rourks. With the war over, big salaries hard to get and . the cost of llWug increasing every day, it is thought both mea will grab the Omaha proposi ti.

I'll ad mit that I lost your ball, but I got the money right here in my pocket to pay for it." live up to his reputation, Itourhe is also dickering with Stewart, an outfielder from Memphis.

A general confer ence of the allies In Tarls to consider all political anl strategical aspects of the war is to be held. Announcement to this effect wss msde In tse House of Com mons today by Premier Asqulth. Premier Asquith's statement wag made In the course of an address In the House of Commons In connection with the open ing of Parliament. The premier eald a large vote of credit would be asked for next week. The premier stated that the situation of the British forces in Mesopotamia, which haa been a source of concern to the English public, had Improved ma terially, and that General Townshend, whose army is surroundvd by the Turks at Kut-EI-Amara, waa holding his own. The premier thought there was every ground for hoping tho forces of Oeneral Townshend and General Aylmer, com mander of the relief expedition, might unite, and that anything in the nature of a serious British check might be averted. He announced that the government was now taking stock of all Its munitions, men, finances and Industrial reserves, so as to be in a position to put forth Its maximum strength. The forecast made severed weeke ago of a dally expenditure for the war of 5,000, (XX) had proved, the premier said, to be very nearly accurate and there were no proepects that the amount would be reduced. Obligations incurred by the war, he &dded, would Impose a serious strain on the country for a . generation te come. This burden, he believed, could be met only by large additions to taxation and by maintenance of England's credit by keeping up the volume of exports, hold ing down unnecessary Imports and re ducing expenditures.
