NO INTERFERENCE BY FOR
ElGN GOVERNMENTS.
CLAIMS CONTROL OF MEXICO
First Chief Willing to Confer With Pan
American Diplomats But SOLELY
From an international Point
of View"

Vera Cruz, Sept. 13.-General Ven
ustiano Carranza's reply to the appea
of the United States and the Latin
American countries for a conference
between the leaders or the various
Mexican factions, having in view ar
adjustment of Mexico's internecins
struggle, Is in polite but unequivoca
mo"
In note issued by Foreign Minis
ter Acuna, General Carranza has told
the diplomats that he can permit O,
no interference whatever by foreign
governments. He explains that he il
in control now of all Mexico excep,
the states of Chihuahua and Morelos
and part of the state of Sonora.
The signers of the note to Carranza
are invited to come themselves or tC
send representatives to some point
along the Rio Grande for a conference
at which the affairs of Mexico may be
discussed solely from an information
al point of view" and with the ides
that Carranza's government be rec,
ognized as the de facto government in
Mexico.
Commands Army of 10000.
The diplomats are told in the note
that the first chief of the Constitu.
tionalists now commands an army OF
100000 men; that the functions OF
public service have been restored, the
railways repaired and railway traffic
resumed. The note adds that in the
fields and the cities there have been
reborn the activities of normal life
Stress is laid in the note on the as
| sertion that soon the entire country
will be at peace
The reply insists that the first chief
is actuated by the highest motives in

ence. 1t is stated in the note that the
! fact that the revolutionists had en-
| tered into pact at JuareZ with the
old government was one of the weak
nesses of President Francisco I. Ma
dero's arrangement for the rehabilita

trafficking with the opposition was

ments that eliminated in the tragic
battle in Mexico City in February

note that some foreign diplomats
were involved in that affair.

Baseball in Need of
Reform, Says Johnson
Suggests Doing Away With Training Trips, Closing
of Many Minor League Parks, and Retrench
ment Along Other Lines.

CHICAGO. H.. March 23.-Baseball Is
in for an ovcrhauling such as 1t has
never before experienced. if the suggcs-
tions Of b. Il. Johnson, president of tho
American League. are carried out. Ac-
cordng TO the head OF, the Junior cir
cult, there Is need OF reform along both
artistic and financial lines. Included in
the scheme for new deal" are the
closing of the gates for the coming sea
son OF some nfty ball parks and the
abolition OF spring training trips. The
padlocks would be distributed among
five or six minor leagues. while the
American and NATIONAL Leagues would
be principally effected by the new sys-
ten OF training.
The apparent lack of interest in base
ball i'm smaller towns Is the reason for
the first suggestion, and needless cX-
pense, coupled with the chilly reception
both at the gate and by the weather
man at Southern training camps ia re-
sponsible for the second. Then the hip
podrome features of the spring trips
probably had considerable to do with it
The policy OF closing the gates Of
scores of minor league clubs has been
brought home with added pressure the
last few days through appeals to the
National Commission from ball players
for back salaries. 1t seems that the
majority of minor leagues failed to
make both ends meet last year and
the players arc at present In possession
of |. o. Us on which they have been
unable to collect. Not being able to get
any satisfaction from their employees,
the payers have flooded the Comnns-
sion with requests for money.

Georgetown's baseball squad, fiftccr
strong. is on its way South today to
meet the University of Georgia and the
Georgia School of Technology in four
games to be played during the re-
maindcr of the week. Coach John
OReilly would make no predictions
other than that he hoped the innova-
tion would benefit Georgetown as much
as is expected.
This is the first year the Blue and
Gray has started in the season with a
trip. Others years have found George
town far advanced when the Northern
colleges come here for their carly sea-
son games.
The fact that Easter comes n bit
sooner this season than usual has led
the Hilltoppers to plan out the strength
ening OF the nine by a trip into a
warmer climate in order to be able TO
get a line on the team.
Tomorrow and Thursday the George

Georgia at Athens, while on Friday and
Saturday the Hilltopers will meet
Georgia Tech at Atlanta.
