London, May 9.--John Redmond, lead
err of the Irish Nationalist in the House
of Commons, in statement concerning
reports published recently that CONVEX
sations had been renewed with reference
to further concessions for Ulster, declares
that these reports "are according to my
information entirely incorrect" Mr..
Redmond also declares untrue a report
that he had been in consultation with
Premier Asquith concerning such con-
cessions. THE position of the Irish
party with reference to conces-
sion,' the statement of Mr. Redmond
continues, ''has undergone no change
since the second reading of the home rule

it will receive its third reading and be

SPORTING NOTES.

The French boxing federation, the
principal authority in ring contests in
France, which for a time refused to
recognize Jack johnson as the heavy
weight champion boxer of the world,
Yesterday accepted his claim to the title.
The general management of the fight be-
tween johnson and Moran of Pittsburg
next month has been assumed by Off
Gals of the boxing federation.
Bernard Lee, the old Goddard player,
was the star of the Tufts-Lafayette
game at Medford this week. He hit
safely five times, once for a three bag
ger. In the game Tufts secured 20
hits.
Westmore Wilcox, Harvard fresh
man, has been credited with running the
quarter mile in less than 40 seconds.
Gunboat Smith and Battling Levinsky
will meet in a l0-round bout at New
York on May 2S. Both of these men
are excellent boxers and should afford
one of the best bouts seen in the East
for some time.
Hans Wagner of the Pirates still con-
tinues to lead the batsmen in the Ma
tional league circuit. His batting Is not
all that characterizes his play this sea-
son, as his fielding is brilliant.
Chief johnson, the big Indiana pitch
err. has been suspended by the Baseball
Players fraternity for jumping con-
tract with the Cincinnati club. He went
to the Federal league and an injunction
was secured against him. He will be
unable to play until May IA anyway.
According to the bylaws of the Federal
league, johnson was suspended auto
matically the moment he became a con-
tract jumper.
Columbia university has a promising
youngster in Black, a freshman Splinter.
He is the French l00-metre champion.
At Annapolis last Saturday he was
timed in 10 fiat for the century. Bernie
Wefers. the coach, is congratulating
himself upon the fine freshman team he
has at Columbia. There are other stars
besides Black.
Ty Cobb has begun to hit his batting
stride. He is also performing on the
base lines.
The st. Louis Cardinals are the only
team that has succeeded in winning from
Pittsburg this season. During the st.
Louis series, the Pirates dropped brace
of games.
A syndicate has been formed in New
ark to promote games to be played by
the Federal league clubs on Sundays
while in the eastern states.
West Point must have one of the
strongest baseball teams in its history,
if the showing of the team during the
past two weeks is any indication.
Georgetown suffered defeat at the hands
of the army about 10 days ago fellow
ing victorious sojourn in New England.
After winning from Vermont and Dart
mouth, Penn State went down to de-
feat at West Point this week. The
team apparently has only a mediocre
pitching staff, but possesses group of
powerful club wielders.

gressonal elections as ane of the big
issues, according to information yester-
day at the headquarters of the National
Anti-Saloon league. Candidates for the
next Congress will be asked to declare

tional prohibition amendment to the
constitution.
This announcement gave some relief
to worried House members yesterday,
They heaved even deeper signs of relief
to know that they will not be asked TO
vote upon the Hobson amendment dur
ing the present session. Democratic
Leader Underwood is openly against the
Hobson plan, on which he made and won
his fight in Alabama for election to the
Senate against Hobson. Underwood in.
sists there are enough votes in the pres

the Hobson amendment to the state.

The Hobson amendment, if adopted by
Congress, would not make the whole

10 u. S. ARMY OFFICERS
ON DUTY IN FRANCE
They Are Receiving Instructions IN the
French Military Training on Pei
mission of French Government
on Request of the u. S.

Paris, May 9.--The movement Of
American troops to Mexico brings to
notice the fact that 10 United States
army officers, representing all branches
of the service, are on duty in France
for instruction in French military train
ing. They are here by permission of
the French government, given upon re-
quest OF the United States army. Oc-
casionally an English officer or officers
from the Balkan and other smaller
states have had permission to serve with
one or another of the French regiments
but it would seem that no foreign army,
not even the Russian, has during this
generation had such opportunities to
know the French military system as
the Americans now have.
Captain w. A. Castle is in an infantry
regiment at Orleans, Captain N. Mar
gettes and Lieutenant A. T. Bishop with
other regiments at Chalons sur Marine,
Lieutenant Il. T. Boyd with the dra-
goons at Fontainbleau, Lieutenant w. T..
Martin at the cavalry school at Saumur,
Captain F. H. Pope in the French quar-
termasters' school and Captain Frank
Parker at the war college. Captain Nor
ton Henry of the American quarter
masters division and Lieutenant Z. S.
Greble and Honeycutt of the artillery
have just arrived to replace three other
American officers and three others are
expected. The three latter do not get
into the French service until October.
In the meantime they are required to
live in French families and perfect their
knowledge Of French.
Captain Parker In the war college,
the exclusive school of higher strategy,
has probably the rarest opportunity and
one not shared by any other foreign
officer. Eighty French officers are adj
mitted annually out of from 400 to 500
applicants who take the severe COM
petitive examination. Years of study
are devoted by the French officer in
preparation for this examinations be-
cause all selections for the general staff
are made from graduates of the war coll
lege and no French officer need expect
high command unless he has gone sue
cessfully through this training in the
deeper problems of strategy.
An arm chair has been placed for
Captain Park apart from the other Off
GERS and nearest the lecturers platform
so that the American guest may have
a better chance than anyone else to
follow the exposition OF subject and
