1aIIENIAND ACT DOES
 NOT VIOLATE TREATY

Washington, May 22-The basis of Che State Departments contention that she California alien land act does not sr1 terms violate the treaty was. in the opinion of the lawyers of the cabinet, au the language of the law and the treaty Save upon the single point hbat in deprivfng Japanese in Califor- mia of the right of inheritance to real estate. they concluded there was no ground for complaint.
 And in view of the expressed dec dzratiou in the Webb law that 1t was not to be construed as al0rogating any treaty provisions which thereby ap- peared to assure the Japanese against unlawful escheatment of their prop srty. it was felt that the national gov sern1nent could do nothing less than admit that the framers of the Webb net seemed to have succeeded in their purpose to make it proof against at lacks in the courts.

 ovER REPLY TO PROTEST

Tok1o. May 22-The reply of the Limited States government to the Jap anese protest in regard to the alien land ownership legislation. in saying that it S5oes-not involve any violation of the treaty between the United States and Japan, has caused great disappointment in official and other circles here The Japanese foreign jrfT1ce considers 1t especially unsatis- factory as 1t does not mention any in 1ention on the part of the government at Washington to take official steps in the direction of notification of the act passed by the California legislature.
 The Japanese foreign minister Is urging upon -.Viscount Chinda, Japan ese ambassador at Washington. the necessity of pressing the Japanese in- aerpretztfon of the Japanese-American n treaty. Secretary of State Bryan's proposal to refer the question to a referendum in the State of California is not received with favor here as the result is considered doubtful.

TWO MATCHES
GO Is HOLES
Wide Margins Separate Win
nerS and Losers in First
Round Of Play

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May IL
Thrilling contests we're conspicuous
by their absence in the first round
of match play Of the womens indi-
vdual galf championship of Philadel-
phia at the Huntingdon Valley Country
Club, Noble, yesterday. One or two
matches were close, but in the main
there was a fairly wide margin be-
tween the winners and the losers and
only two matchs in the first sixteen
were carried to the eighteenth hole.
The weather was even more favorable
than on the first day, as the wind was
not nearly so strong.
Mrs Ronald "A. Barlow, who is the
holder Of the title obtained the easiest
victory of the day and defeated Mrs.
G. o. Suddards nine up and seven to
play. The champion played much
better golf than in the qualifying
round, and despite the fact that she
took a six on the third, fourth and
seventh holes, played the first nine
holes in forty-hve and was seven up
at the turn, the only hole that Mrs.
Suddards captured being the fourth
with a FIVE to six. With a four to
five and five to seven, Mrs. Barlow
won the tenth and eleventh holes and
finished off the match.
In the same bracket as Mrs. Barlow
another easy victory was recorded by
Miss Florence McNeely. who account
ed for Mrs. S. c. Price seven up and
five to play. Miss McNeely played a
very steady and consistent game and
If she IS in the same form today she
should give Mrs. c. II. Vanderbeck a
rare good match. Mrs. Vanderbeck
was compelled to play for all she was
worth against Miss 70. G.. Wood.
In the upper bracket some OF the
younger element made their presence
felt, Miss Caverly and Miss r. w
Campbell both winning their matches
Miss Caverly played remarkably
steady game against Miss Davis, hel
fellow club member, and defeated hei

HARRISBURG. Pa, May 21.-In an
exciting game yesterday. the Senators
got back at Wilmington for Mondays
walk-over and defeated the league
leaders Z to a.
The game was played under pro-
test on the part of Manager Jimmy

Snyder reached third and Dietz scor-

WILLARD LOSES
FIGHT TO SMITH
AFTER q ROUNDS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21-Lack of
experience and not Gunboat Smith, is
what lost Jess Willard the decision
in his twenty-round battle with the
sailor, according to the belief today
of experts who witnessed the affair.
With little more instruction in ring
tactics, the Kansas giant would have
been able to put Smith away, they de-
clare AS IL was, Referee Selig
awarded the decision to the Gunboat
after twenty scrappy rounds. Fans
We're generally dissatisfied with the
verdict, believing a draw would have
been fairer.
Although Willard had a fifty-pound
advantage in weight and a big lead
in height and reach over Smith, his
experience more than overcame him.
Smith had little difficulty in landing,
but he could not make an impression
on the fellow. Three times in the
fourth, fifth and fourteenth rounds,
Willard suddenly came to life with a
terrific attack upon his opponent. In
each round he appeared to have Smith
very near the edge of oblivion when
only a little skill in handling his
hands would have pushed him off. But
Willard lacked just thN skill and ex.
perience and failed to follow up hia
advantage. Each time he gave Smith
just enough time to recuperate and
come back strong. Neither man show
ed championship class, but McCarty
is expected to give Gunboat the next
battle. II they fight on the coast
McCarty is expected to be top-heavy

.CY FALKENBURC IS
A REAL COMEBACK
Former OutIaWSenatOrTWirIer
With Cleveland Won
Sixth Straight

There is another come back" in the
American League. He is Fred ICY"
Falkenberg, the lanky hurler Of the
Maps who at one time pitched for the
Harrisburg Tri-State team.
When Manager Harry Davis took
hold of the Cleveland club in 1912,
he decided that Falky's days as a big
league hurler were over, so he sent
him to Toledo, in the American Asso-
ciation
When Birmingham took over the
reins as manager of the club he de-
cided there was still a good deal Of
/ big league pitching in the long boy,
and Falky has proved this by his
work this season.
Falky, who rivals Carl Wellman in
height, has made five starts this sea-
son, and each one has resulted in a
victory. He beat the Tigers his first
out, allowing them no runs and six
hits. Then he trimmed the White
SoX. After this he opposed the
Browns, twice. and dealt them two re-
verses. He beat Boston for his fifth
straight, and made it six straight
when he boosted his club into second
place by trimming Washington.
Last season in the American Asso-
citation Falkenberg was second among
/ the hurlers. He won twenty-five
games and lost only eight games, for
percentage of .7S5. The hits off
him totaled 257, while "a runs we're
scored by the opposition. He Whit
/ fed 113 and walked only SO.
It looks as if Falky would pull a
/ Tom Hughes. Last season the Ma
/ tional hurler "came back" after be-
ing sent to Minneapolis for one year.
Hughes is still at it, and it will be
some time before he is relegated to
the minors. The same may be the
case with Falkenberg.
