IS READY
 TO HELP ALLIES,
 PREMIER AYERS
Count Okuna Says Finances of Nation Can Be Turned
 to Europe.

Paris, NOV. 1.-WhiIe Japan will be unable to send troops to. the European, theatres ofSwar she will gladly assist the entente allies as far as she can Financially. and lend them the support of her arsenals, according to Count Okuma, the premier, who was inter viewed at Tokio by the Mathis corre-s spondent.
 There was talk last November of Japanese forces fighting in Europe Count okuma is reported to have said. ITO have done that we should have had to send 10000 men, expect ing to lose 100000 of them and replace them with 100000 more, We had not the necessary transports, for we should have wanted 2,o00, GOO tons of shipping and our commercial fleet az gregates only 1000, 900. In the face of these figures Great Britain and France understood the impossibiIity of the op- eration
 ! Our sympathies being as strong as ever, we should wish to give France our financial support at least and thus perhaps hasten the end of the war. Japan is not a great financial power but we have certain resources We have just covered twice over a gov ernment loan of 3O.0oO,00O yen ($15,- 000,000) and that probably would make the issue of second loan difficult; but to prove our sympathy for France we should be happy to give our aid, however modest.
 t.The tnnpossibility of sending troops westward does not prevent us giving our allies naval and military support Our arsena1s are mobi1ized as in time of war. We play also the role of sem tine1 in the far east, preventing our enemies from fomenting revolt among the war1ike Mussulrnan peoples who might be tempted to profit from your difficulties. We also are doing every thing necessary to guard against dam age to the trans- -Siberian railway, whereby our supplies reach Russia The principle back of all Japanese 4ac- ton is that while our allies are fight ing we shall not allow them to be at tackled from behind''

PLANK THE Greatest
SOUTHPAW IN The CANE

Eddie Plank deserves the title Of
the greatest left-handed pitcher
that ever lived
For ID years-1901 to 1914. inclns-
ive-the wonderful southpaw was the
pitched the kind of baseball that
helped the Athletics to win a large
flock of pennants and a number of
worlds champion titles.
And now, in his forty-eighth yearf
and his sixteenth year in baseball.
he is the pitching sensation OF the
Federal League Cast adrift by his
old boss. he connected with the Job IN
the new league and is back at his
old trick Of rolling up a huge per-
centage.
The most amazing part Of Plank's
work this year Is the fact that he is
pitching 10 batters who are new to
him He hasn't the benefit OF the
experience gained in other years 10
aid him. He doesn't know the
strength and the weakness Of the bat
ters. as he did in the American
League He must learn as he goes.
He must pit the old southpaw whip
absolutely unaided against the Fed
oral League clouters, and he has
done so successfully.
Plank is one of the very few left-
handlers who have no eccentricities
He has been normal In his conduct. a
gentleman on the ball field and off +.
and all through the 10 years Of his
major league career has graced the
game by his presence.

QUESTION TABER'S
Record FOR Mile
Directors Say Race Was
Not True in Real Sense
of the Word
TINE WAS MADE
IN SPECIAL TRIAL

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.--Considerable
controversy has developed in track
and field circles as to the propriety
OF accepting the new worlds record
of Alp 3-5 for the mile run, made
by Norman Taber in the Harvard
Stadium on July II. The contention
of the objectors to accepting the fg-
ures is that the time was made in
a special trial and not in a race in
the true sense of the word. Few fol-
lowers of athletics realize the diff
Guilty of finding field and condi-
tions that will give a runner OF Ia
ber's type the opportunity to break
such a record even though he has
the ability
W. G. George. of England, set the
time for the mile at 4.21 2-5 in 1882,
and this time was not lowered by an
amateur until 1895. when Tommy
Conneff ran the distance in 2.15 3-5.
There il stood until 1911. when John
Paul Jones reduced il one-hfth Of a
second. and two years later cut a
whole second off that time. In this
race Jones had as opponents Taber,
Brown: Harmen. Dartmouth, and
Madeira. of Pennsylvania, all of
whom finished in the order named.
This was an extraordinary field, and
forced Jones to run at his best speed
10 win in time less than two seconds
slower than Georges record OF
4.12 "a. made when a professional in
1886.
In the race in which George estab-
lished the worlds record that Taber
broke the English professional had

of sufficient speed can be gathered
under perfect racing conditions to

haps more had he been able to race

MAY BE EXPENSIVE
TO HURT THE UNP"
Official Comes Under Work
mans Compensation
Act
LEAGUE IS
RESPONSIBLE

KILN de ump" is gonna be an ex-
pensive proposition when Pennsyl-
vania's new workmens compensation
law gets under way, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. According to the ex-
tent of the umpire's injuries, where
some irate fan "bounces a bottle off'n
his bean,' the league must pay either
death or accident benefits
After busting OF his spectacles and
looking up the law on the measure
passed at the last session of state
Legislature, Harry A. Mackey. one Of
the commissioners named by Cover
nor Brumbaugh to administer the af-
fairs Of the workman's compensation
board decided that a baseball um-
pire legally would come under the
provisions Of the act
In the eyes of the law the umpire is
recognized as a workman. Some per-
sons we know. particularly folks who
sit in the bleachers and cast beautiful
verbal bouquets at the umpires. say
an Jump" is only ''loafer,' and a
bum" at that. But the law is Arm
that an umpire is a workman. So Of
cially placed. the lump" can draw
compensation from the league.
1T distinctly says that all employees
are entitled to compensation. and a
baseball umpire is surely a working
man." was Mackey's ultimatum. as he
surveyed the ponderous law volume.
But I'm not so sure an Jump killed
by a pop bottle would be entitled TO
compensation. The law specifies en-
ployes injured in the regular per-
formance Of duty by the instruments
necessary TO performance of that
duty. Maybe a pop bottle isn't a
necessary appurtenance to a bail
park. You would have to adjudicate
all questions OF that kind.
Should an Jump fall running to a
base or be pierced by liner. that's 2
different proposition.
The Jumps" hereabouts don't have
to worry yet a while. for the law does
not become operative until Jan. 1.
