FOUL STRIKE RULE REscINDED
American Baseball League Abandon
Experiment Tried Last Season

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Oficers of the
American Baseball League at their
annual meeting have rescinded the
foul strike rule adopted last year as
an experiment and declared In favor
of schedule of 154 games in order to
meet extension of the national league
schedule. The playing schedule will
open April Is.
The National League recently de-
clared in favor of the foul strike rule
and it is generally believed that
trouble will be experienced before a
rule satisfactory to both leagues can
be agreed upon. The affairs of the
Pacific coast league came up for dis
cussion during the meeting, but the
question was referred to President
Johnson. who was given power to act
for the American League in any at
tempt that might be made to get inde-
pendent leagues on the coast to join
with organizations east Of the Rocky
mountains.

Washington, Dec. ,-Chekib Bey,
the Turkish minister, called at the
state department yesterday afternoon
with cablegram from the sublime
porte to the effect that the American
consul at Alexandretta, Mr.. Davis,
had treated the police in rough way.
He was politely informed that his ex-
PLANTATION did not agree with the facts
as the state department had learned
them. 1t was plainly indicated to the
minister that the explanation sent by
the Porte was far from satisfactory
and that If it had been presented in
the hope Of tempering the vigorous
policy already begun by the state de-
partment to obtain reparation and APP
pology, the hope was vain one.
