WHEELING, ". Va, Feb. 90
There is some doubt whether Bull"
Smith will be seen with the local
team this year. In letter received
by Treasurer Irwin few days ago
Smith stated that he might quit base
ball for good. In the letter he sta
ted that he had been offered very
good position to. 80 on the road for
q Clarksburg house, and he thought
that he might accept the place. If
Smith shonld accept the position it
means that he would quit ball for
ever. Ever since he has left college
lie has threatened to go into business
and quit ball playing and 1t looks
very much as though he, is going to
live up to his promise. Wheeling
would like to have him back this year
but II he quits the game they call
lay no claim to his services. Should
he not return to Wheeling the loca
team will surely miss him as he was
a tower of strength and was ia

London Aug 3.-The session in the House of

discussion of the foreign policy. Earl Percy,
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said that
under the present circumstances it was impos-

in the Anglo-Japanese alliance when it was
thought right 10 renew it. He noted with salts
faction that all agreed upon the desirability
of renewing such alliance. He thought that
the general state of Europe presented no cause
for anxiety.
Reverting to the Far East. he said it was
true that, while Great Britain. in common with
other countries. losing trade in China
Japans trade in that country was increasing
Efforts were being made TO obtain fresh markets

promised. If the Chinese unable 10 finance
