Never Have Been in Force.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Attention

that arbitration treaties negotiated
with Great Britain and France by for

fed by the senate with amendments

Neither Great Britain nor France
has communicated to the United
States government its attitude to
amendments enacted by the senate al
ter the original negotiations had been
concluded.

policy of arbitration adopted in the

Commercial Club
Boosts Tree Planting

The Commercial Club is fost-
ering a movement to have all
resident lot owners plant some
trees this spring, to that end a
public meeting is called at the
club rooms, on the evening of
March End. next Monday to
discuss the matter, and learn if
possible how many will plant
trees, SO that all orders can be
sent together, thereby getting
them cheaper than if sent indiv-
idually. The planting of trees
should be encouraged in every
way, as they add so much to the
beauty of any city.

By HAL SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, Sept, 25.-The only
certain thing about baseball is the
uncertainty Of it. Laying aside the
well-known collapse Of the Giants
and the rush Of the Boston Braves
from the tall-end to the lead. old
General Uncertainty has asserted
himself within the last few days with
the Cincinnati Reds. IL has not been
a damaging affair. but after losing
eighteen straight games. who would
have expected the Reds to go TO Bos-
ton and give the Braves the toughest
opposition they have struck in the
last month?
Not even pausing for reply, the
quivering fact may be held up that
where the Pirates and the Cardinals
failed in their recent invasion Of Bos-
ton. the Reds have bucked the leaders
as though they we're lighting for their
lives. After taking an lnglorious
licking from the Braves. the Cardin-
ais have walloped the Giants In three
straight games. The Giants made a
clean sweep against Cincinnati and
now the Reds have split even in one
double-header with the Braves and
yesterday after losing the first game
clawed and scratched through to a
draw in the second.
Despite this stiff opposition from
the Reds, the Braves have continued
TO lengthen the stretch of daylight
between their cart wheels and the
Giants And the New York team Is
not charging II is falling back. The
Cardinals are now within one game
Of the former leader; the Cubs are
two and a half games in the rear anc
at their present pace the Giants ar,
in imminent danger of skidding from
/ their place as runner-up. OF the II
} hits the Giants collected yesterday

/ tallies that trickled over one was OF

NO Nerves IN
WIGWAM OF Braves

BOSTON, Sept 24.-The Braves as
a team are not looking forward to
the remaining days of the baseball
season with any fear. Had they ever
been through another such a race
there might be some indication that
their nerves we're feeling the effects
But it is an array with hardly a
veteran in it and each game is only
a regulation game Of baseball to the
majority Of the players
They have also attained the state
Of mind where they can't see where
fl is possible for them to lose a game.
ANY team that has the eeffrontery to
take game from them these days is
regarded as having gone beyond the
limits to be allowed any aggregation
Of human beings. All the Braves
want is just one inning in which to
cut loose with their bats. The ex-
rerience of pitchers Oh opposing
teams will bear out the point that
the one big batting inning comes
along as a matter of practical GER
tainty.
In one respect the Braves have
been extremely fortunate. Beyond a
few minor injuries, no member of the
team is compelled to remain out of
the lineup on account or his ply
sical condition. The pitchers show
no falling off in effectiveness, the
team, as a whole. is fielding finely,
and as stated, hitting in combination
when the big inning arrives.
Neither Manager Stallings nor
Capt Evers will make any predic-
tions as to the outcome, Both realize
il will be a stubborn fight before the
race is settled for good. They are
old campaigners and refuse to shout
before they are out Of the woods.
