The prolonged sessions of congress
broke up the plans of many members
to go abroad this year. Now most of
them are glad that there was legisla-

The war has compelled many for
eign diplomats in Washington, long
close friends. to give each other the
cold shoulder" and frozen stares as
they meet now. They are not sup
posed to have even the slightest rela-
tions and according to their rules
must meet as absolute strangers. So
cial ties formed during long residence
in Washington must be entirely brok-
en- off between the diplomats of the
warning nations.
Many diplomats are forced to meet
in the diplomatic ante-room when
they call to confer with Secretary of
State Bryan but they never recognize
each other no matter how friendly
their relations may have been before
the war. During the Russo-J Japan
ese war the ambassadors of Russia
and Japan had a way of bowling to
each other in a perfunctory way If
they met. They never exchanged a
word.

TO REBUILD PH|LL|ES
IS MORAN S SCHEME
Will Obtain Youngsters From
Braves in Deal That Sends
Sherwood Magee North.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga baseball
meeting will be held in this city this
week which will have an important
bearing on the Philadelphia club. Of
the National League, for next year.
President william F Baker and Man
ager Pat Moran. of the Phillies. will
meet President Jim Gaffney, of the
Boston Braves. to complete the deal
whereby Sherwood Magee goes to the
Braves. Tho final details were put off
until President Baker has a chance to
get the final answer OF Hans Lobert
about his contract for next season.
Phillies who has not signed for next
year. .sR.ssd
If Lobert refuses to sign and jumps
70 the Federal League Moran's club will
DC without q third baseman. In that
event the Phillies will ask for an in
fielder from Boston as part of the
trade. Boston will have Red Smith
back in form next year. and also has
Deal, who Sc ably filled Smiths shoes
in the worlds series. Baker also wants
an outfielder as part of the trade. and
one of the men he is liable to land in
the trade is Gathers.
The loss OF Magee. together with the
severe losses the Phillies suffered last
season, mems an entire reconstruction
OF the team next season. Manager Mo-
ran has a hard task on his hands. but
he depends on developing a number Of
Young players to fill the gaps made by
the loss OF so many stars.
The success OF the Boston Braves last
year. q comparatively green club, has
set a new style in baseball. and this
season there is sure to be a lot Of cX-
p-rimenting by managers to develop
ycung players as Manager Stallings did
last year. instead Of depending on
few star players.

E. K. Hall, Chairman Of CON-

not Be Improved More.

BOSTON, Dec. 2S.-Edwin X. Hall,
chairman of the football rules commit
tee, declares there will be no important
changes in the football rules the COM
ing year.
Mr.. Hall says intercollegiate foot
ball last fall was what the rules COM
mittee has been aiming at for the
past seven or eight years. 1t has been
the effort of the men framing the condi-
tions to have the game free from injur-
les and at the same time beneficial to
those who participate and pleasing to
the spectators. This has been done.
1T is really a first class game. as
II is played now. and | hardly look
for any changes in the conduct of the
sport the coming year. There may be
one or two minor changes in the rules.
but all these will be for the benefit of
the game and not important enough to
detract from the pleasing features
which have been conspicuous during the
last year"

nine teams have downed the Tigers.
and they have played football for for
ty-five years. with a total of 351
games. One of the Princeton defeats
