Could the modern-day pitchers do

No. In the National and American

manager who as much as asks Mr.
Pitcher TO show up in uniform the
afternoon following the one on which
he was worked. He needs the lay-off
and he gets IL.

physically able TO come back in less

That is because the pitching
mighties nowadays must pitch with
their heads as we'll as with their arms
and do practically as much Unfolding

Others Convicted

Memphis. January &C. A. Bonds, who

Canadian immigration officials was con-
victed In the United States district court

peal.

the southwest. 1t was specifically alleged
by the government that paper of the diff
ferent banks was ''kited' and that the
mails were used in scheme to de-
fraud.

ican Trust company, which suspended at
the same time as the All Night and Day
bank, and an indictment alleging misuse
of the mails is pending against him as
a result of methods alleged to have been
followed by that. institution. He was
connected with financial Institutions in
other cities in the southwest.

At their meeting today the ambassadors
scarcely broached the question of the
frontiers of Albania. The meeting ad-
journed early as the German ambassador
had an engagement TO dine with the King
at Windsor. 1t is understood the opinion
prevails among the ambassadors that they
should find a middle course between the
delimitotions proposed by Servia anu
those proposed by Austria.
The Servian delegation has notified the
powers that the reported Servian massa-
cres of Albanans in territory occupied by
Servian troops are without foundation
in fact, and that the reports have spread
simply to impe the powers to enlarge
the boundaries of the new state on the
pretext that it will free Albanians from
alleged prosecutions.
