told the House committee on rules to-

Greedy declared his belief that the

PRESIDENT TO MAKE ADDRESS
ON SUBJECT OF CANAL

Washington, ID. c.. President Will
son will personally address Joint
session of congress Thursday, advo-
eating the repeal OF the clause In
the Panama canal act which exempts
American coastwise shipping from
the payment of tolls.
White House officials last night
arranged with the majority leaders
in both houses for a joint session
at $3.50 p. m. Thursday. The Pres
ident has prepared q brief address.
in which he sets forth his opinion
that congress should reverse itself
and keep the obligations Of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. which he be-
lieves was violated by the Panama
canal act.
The president holds that the ma
tional honor of the American people
is at stake and that European ma
tions should not be allowed to get
the impression that treaties made
| by the American government are not
adhered to both in letter and in spir-
| it. The emption clause. he points
out, was passed on the assumption
that while the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
guarantees equal treatment to all ma
tions In the question OF tolls. the
document was to be interpreted as
meaning all nations except the Unit
| States.
/ The President belieyes.there should
be no debatable ground on treaties
once made and believes the United
States is in honor bound to keep the
| spirit of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

NO MORE FIGHTING
 AT P|TTSF|tLD POLO
Militia Captain Will Arrest First
 Man Who Strikes a Blow.

Pittsfield Nov 21.-Considerable discussion arose in this city concern ing the fracas at the roller polo game at the armory Tuesday night. in which Harold, Pittsfield's $ big center, figured prominently in an exchange of blows with Higgins, Poughkeepsie's star forward, and who also landed a blow on the cheek of Referee Michaels. Much of the dis cussion hinges about the incident of State Detective Bligh's appearance on the floor in an effort to make an ar- rest when Harold and Higgins were mixing it up and the fact that Capt. Ambrose C1ogher of F company pre- vented an arrest being made. Several attorneys are quoted anonymously to the effect that the state police or To- cal police have right to make an ar rest in the state armory when there is breach of the peace. One attorney is even said to have given his legal opinion to the effect that a police officer "could have arrested the cap tain of the militia if he interfered with an officer who was making an arrest
 Capt. Clogher, whose attitude Tues day night was not one of defiance to the local or state authorities and who, contrary to general reports, did not order State Detective Bligh off the floor, has very reluctantly consented to state to a reporter his idea of who is in authority in the state armory. He quoted freely from the statutes governing the case. which are to the effect that the se- nior officer of the company is in full charge and has authority and is sup posed to make arrests when breaches of the peace serious enough to war rant such action occur in the arm ory. Capt. Clogher said that civil officers undoubtedly would have the right to make an arrest of the bell ligerents in case of a serious breach of the peace in case the militia off, cer refused to interefere or in the absence of such an officer.
 Tn the fracas Capt. C1ogher was on hand and entered the playing floor to restore order, and it was only when there seemed likelihood of an un- necessary arrest being made that he indicated his belief that such ac- tion was unnecessary and the civil of- ficers left the floor. The action of Referee Michaels in refusing to fight back when he was struck is com mended by the saner fans and al- though there is considerab ble criticism of him for not putting Harold out of the game after his first outbreak, this criticism is not general.
 "I will notify the Pittsf1e1d play ers," said Capt. Clogher, ''that last night I saved one of them from be- ing arrested and that if there is any further fighting I will order an ar- rest"

''MIKE'' FINN MAY BUY THE WATERBURY CLUB
Cleveland Said to Be Willing to Dis pose of Franchise for $1,5OO-
 as


 Team Lost $1O,ooo, is Claim.
 Unless someone grabs the Water bury franchise in the Eastern baseball, association it is probable, that that city will be without representation in Class B baseball next season. Chas w. So1ners of the Cleveland club, the real owner of the Waterbury fran- chise, does not intend to stand for another season as he had last season when, it is said, about s1O,000 went by the board.
 Mike" Finn, the former Water bury pilot, is said to be considering buying the franchise which is on the market for $1,5OO. With the fran chise will go the following players in the deal: Archie Osborne, Jack Frost Gene Smith and Joe Grey, pitchers: !: Lew Wendell and Robertson, Orris and Rennie, other catchers signed by Fohl who failed to report; Erroi Williams, Joe Flannery and Bailes, infielders; Donovan, Matty McKillen and Fucker Ginn, outfielders.
 If no one buys the Waterbury fran chise the circuit may be dropped to six clubs, New Britain being elimi- mated.

There is likelihood of changes in the lineup of the Pitts field club, owing to the decided slump it has taken lately. Pierce, rusher while swift on the floor, does not team with Loxon we'll enough to satisfy the management. The team is apparently too bulky to be speedy and an announcement of changes may be expected after the meeting here Sunday.

 BY GRAVY"
BY "GRAVY." 1"

By a queer coincidence the two men who have been most largely in- strumental in relieving Washington from the stigma of being the goat and the joke city of baseball cele- brate their birthdays on the same day. Clark Griffith, the pilot of the Senators, will slip past his forty-fffth milestone today, and George F. Me- Bride, who does the shortstopping and no small part of the heavy think ing of the Washington aggregation, is thirty-three today.
 We are glad for Clark Griffith's sake" recently remarked New York scribe, that he has signed George McBride for another year. If Clark were to fire George it would be like blowing out his brains" Most fans will consider that this is rather an exaggerated view, for Griffith is gen. orally credited with being a reg'lar old fox in baseball cunning. Mcbride is also there with the gray matter, and the exudations from his think tank have been of great assistance in pulling Washington out of the cell lar.
 Griffith has been managing Ameri- can league clubs ever since there was an American league. He started with Chicago in 1901 and annexed the flag for Comiskey's club. The next year the team slumped to fourth place, and in 1903 Clark took the hellum of the New York club, which made it's debut in the American league that year. The Tanks finished fourth that annum, second in 1904, sixth in 1905, second again in 1906, and fifth in 1907. The next year they took an awful slump, and Griffith was replaced by Norman Elberfeld.
 When Griffith took charge of the Washingtons in 1912, that club had never finished better than sixth, and that was long ago. The cellar was their customary position, although in several seasons they had finished seventh. The first year under Clarks management the Senators ceased to be joke, for they climbed into sec ond place, and repeated again last year. This year they did not do so we'll, but finished in the first divi- sion.
 Griffith doesn't deserve all the praise for this feat, however, for the building up of the Senators was commenced away back in the days when Joe Cantil1on, now pilot of the Minneapolis team, was manager of the lowly Capital City club. 1t was Joe who started the Senators on their upward way by landing such stars as McBride, Johnson and Milan. Jim my McAleer continued the good work and Griffith had the generalship and ability to reap where they had sown.
 Griffith has been branded a traitor by some of the other American league managers because of his al-. legged sympathy for the Braves in the worlds series. It was declared that he advised Stallings as to the best way to put the Athletics in a hole, and for this the old fox is threatened with court martial.
