Washington, Aug. 1S-Germany's ac-
auisition Of Kiao Chau. the evacuation
Of which Japan has demanded, fol-
Vowed closely upon the acquisition Of
Hreas Of interest and spheres Of in
duence in China by foreign powers.
Until 1895 no foreign power aside
from the Portuguese and English had
been allowed to hold possession on or
near the coast Of China. Japan ac-
quired Formosa by treaty in that year;
Russia obtained q concession for the
Manchurian railway and France OBJ
tanned a rectiication Of the frontier of
Tongking.
Seized 70 Avense Murders.
Germany's seizure Of Kiao Chau, in
retaliation for the murder Of German
missionaries by Chinese followed in
November, 1897, and in the following
March the port, with adjacent terri
tory, was leased by China to Germany
for ninety-nine years. The district
was declared a protectorate of the Ger
man Empire April "a, 1898. and its adj
ministration was entrusted to the navy
department with a naval officer as
governor.
In November, 1897. Russia obtained a
twenty five year lease Of Port Arthur
and TalienWan. with 500 square miles
of territory, and procured a naval base
and an ice-free port. In the following
May further concessions COVE Russia

tie later Russian influence was eX-
tended into Mongolia.
The Russo-Japanese war, however,
limited Russia's activities there and re-
suited in Japans acquisition Of Port
Arthur. In order to preserve the bal
ance of power, Great Britain on April
2. 1898, leased Wei-Hai-Wei on the
lease of Port Arthur.
In February. 1898, Great Britain had
established It's influence without claim
ing exclusive privileges in the Yangtze
Valley. These concessions were fol-
lowed by similar privileges for France,
which. on April 10, 1898. leased the
port of Kwangchauwan. on the south
ern coast, for nine;y-nine years. On
June 9 following, Great Britain leased
for ninety-nine years a 200 square mile
extension of territory on the mainland
opposite Hongkong and about the same
time Japan obtained nonalienatior
pledges concerning the province OF
Fukien. italy demanded lease OF
Sanmun Bay. but did not press 1t be-
cause Of popular opposition as ex-
pressed at home to policy OF expan-
sion.

EBBETS OF BROOKLYN
HATES THE GIANTS

Brooklyn, Jan. S.-Charles H. Eb-
bets. president of the Brooklyn Base
ball club, declared this week before
the members Of the Mems club Of the
Flatbush Congregational church, as
sembied at their annual dinner in the
basement Of the church building, Dor
chester road and East Eighteenth
street, tina Joe Tinker will either play
in a Brooklyn uniform ley spring or
not at all. He is signed by us, We
paid a big price-$25, 000-for him, we
need him and we are going to have
him." he asserted.
MI. Ebbets took several filings at the
New York Giants and declared that
his one hope was to put together a
team that would wipe them off the
lots. H.
"They come over here with that
throw 'em down McClusky' air that
is s~ickening,' he went on. 81 would
like nothing better than to get them in
a room with gloves on but I would be
sure to have the horseshoes in my
gloves. oh, I love them. I think
they're the biggest and then he
remarked that perhaps he was saying
too much. He added. however, that he
thought Brooklyn next season would
have a team that would beat every
other team in the league, and espe-
cially the Joints"
Ebbets declared that Nap Rucker
will always be on the pay roll Of the
Brooklyn team az long as he is alive,
and added: 81 consider him. the great
est left-hander this country has ever
Produced"

PAUL JONES
IS HERO OF YEAR

Although Hannes Kolehmainen, the
great distance runner Of Finland,
smashed forty-three records during the
year, the worlds one-mile amateur
OF Cornell university stands out as the
eat athletic feat of 1913.
Jones ran the mile in the intercol-
legiate championships in the Harvard
stadium In the unprecedented time Of
Z minute II rs econds and clipped a
fuil second from his own worlds record
established in 1911. .a-.
Finn u wonder.
Kolehmainen's performances were
remarkable. Nearly every time he
competed he established new figures,
with the result that he now holds prac-
tically every American record from 2
Ia to 10 miles. That he can run on all
kinds or tracks was proved when he
hung up th1rty-one marks on cinder
pains ana twelve on the board floors.
IN cross-counfry competitions.
Negro a star.
Howard Drew, the. sturdy negro of
the Springfield, Mass, Training school.
was another who distinguished him
self In the track. He hung up three
and earned the title Of Americas best
sprinter.
OF the field memn Pat Ryan, the giant
1rlshman who recently resigned from
lie IlSN-AuleIlCdn ACAletIC CLUB. car
ried off the honor in the field. After
hurting the sixteen-pound hammer to
record distances many times, he finally
succeeded in establishing a mark that
was accepted by the officials of the
Amateur Athletic union, and will be
recognized all over the world as a
worlds record.
Pat Ryan Sets Marks.
"a few minutes after this record per-
torrance he began throwing the for
ty-two-pound stone. Before this con-
test was over he had smashed Martin
~Sheridan's record Of 81 feet 2 inches
with a throw hat measured % feet
II IA inches. At the same meet Ryan
established a new worlds mark throw
ing the S5-pound weight, making a
throw Of 81 feet 7-S inch.
On Oct. 10 this rugged Celt threw
the 1%2-pound hammer 213 feet 9 IL
inches, lettering John F~lannagan's
worlds figures by more than six feet.
Pat Mcdonald, the veteran cham
pion of the Irish-American Athletic
club is another weight man who hung
up new worlds figures. On Labor day
at Celtic park he put the 14-pound
shot the unprecedented distance of So
feet 4 inches.
N~inety-two Records.
During the year n~inety-two records
were made by the different athletes.
While fewer meets were held this
year than in 1912 all the championships
except the cross-countryl runs, the sew
en-mile walk and the ten-mile run
were successful financially.

les tied for second-11 times.
Basketball throw-Helen Ostbye,
Roosevelt, first; Mabel McPhail, Agas-
siz, second. '.
That the class athletics in which
every girl In the class, irrespective Of
size or ability, is given a chance, is a
big factor in developing good, strong,
all-around girls, is proven by the class
averages. In the class relay, in which
every girl in a class Of twenty ran
thirty-five yards, the class average
was 4 2-5 seconds. The seventh grade
Agassiz girls had an average Of 4
time in the chin-up. The eighth grade
IlRoosevelt girls had an average of 16
for the combination dip, which is
more than the average man can do it.
The sixth grade Longfellow girls had
the same average. The sixth grade
Roosevelt girls had an average Of 40
in the back raise. Sit down and try
to do that stunt AZ times and you will
realize what it means.
This applies also in the case of the
boys class athletics. The seventh
grade Hawthorne boys averaged 10
times in the chin-up. The eighth grade
Lincoln averaged 4 1-3 feet in the high
jump, and 10 IL feet in the broad
jump. This comes, not from any espe-
cial skill, but from practice and the
encouragement offered to all the boys
alike.
