Washington Club Cuts Its Two
Sessions in Half to Accom-
modate Bill Donovan's Ball
Club.
Raw Fisher or Jack Warhop Ex-
pected to Do TwirIing for
New Workers in Opening
Game Tomorrow.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

The New York Yankees prepared
for their opening with the Griffmen
tomorrow by taking charge of the
Georgia avenue ball yard at 1 o'clock
and going through a long drill un-
der the eagle eye of Bill Donovan
their new manager. The presence of
the Yankees on the field cut into the
plans of Manager Griffith, who had
to let his athletes off for the after
noon. He had figured on two prac-
tice sessions today, but when Dono-
van begged-yes, implored the use
of the park for his sturdies-Griff
just had to let him have his will.
The Yankees are not in the best of
condition. They met with some Sc
we're weather during their training
days at Savannah. Ray Caldwell's
back is bothering him and he was
sent home from Richmond. Manager
Donovan does not believe he will be
able to face the Griffmen tomorrow.
With Caldwell out of the running,
either Ray Fisher or Jack Warhop
will do the flinging against the Griff-
men.
Tomorrow's game will begin prompt
ly at o'clock. Before that, though,
band concert will start at ! o'clock,
continuing until the umpire calls Play
BALI" The gates will open at noon.
Entrance to the pavilions for tomor-
row will be at the Bohrer street gate.
After tomorrow both this gate and the
main gate on Georgia avenue VIII De
used.
The chances of Chick Gandirs play
ing first base tomorrow are slight. The
treatments for his throwing arm, but
little effect has been noticed. Manger
Griffith declines to make any promises,
but it is more than likely that Rippy
Williams Will be at the Initial sack
when the bell rings.
Cutie" Morgan Will probably be
found at second base. His injured groin
has improved considerably and today 8
I~st vii! just about put him in perfect
shape for tomorrow's battle with the
Yankees.
Owing to the illness of Henri Ron
deau Hank Shanks will hold down left
field. Rondeau has been ordered to
remain In bed for week and rest his
injured leg. 1t is expected that, as
soon as Rondeau RECEIVERS sufficiently
to take his place in the garden. he will
go to left field. Rondeau has i'm
pressed all by his hitting ability and
his fielding is good enough to suit the
Old Fox.

Political Action in Chinese Crisis Despite Opposition Britain--Utimatum With Favor Tokio

Tokao, Thursday. Apri1 22By mall to Shanghai, May e-The worldwide publication of the list or demands presented to China: by Japan shortly after the defeat of the German gar rIson at Knao-Ehau and which still are being negotiated between the two governments, coupled with the reports of growing opposition to them s1n England and the attitude on this whole subject of ths United States. has greatly embarrassed the Japan ese government. from which the peo- apIe expect much.
 Various pdiitical associatAons in Ja- pan are clamor1ng for drastic meas urea against China. Everybody is discussing she possibility of war and speculating upon the nature and the extent Of tn 6 military campaign Ja- pan would have to und ertake should China refuse to yield All parties and factions in the countsy are united in favor Of Japan eatab fishing a pre- domtnating influence in China which country is regarded as the neutral field for the needed Japanese expan- sion.s M
 The semi ofacial press is urging. the government to stand firm in spite, of the criticisms of foreign countries and is giving expression to the belief. that the failure Of the present negotiations
 would excite the profolnd disappoint- 1nents and indignation of the Japanese people.
 The statements given out today that Japan proposed to ionn1nbnfcate to China the irredocible minimum Of her demands to be fo1IaWed later by an u altiara1uzn should China. continue to prove int actabIe have met with popular approval.

Japanese fleets would sail for the north of China.
 The Japanese government has re- piled verbally to all the points in the American note on the subject of the Chinese situation. It is seeking to. assure America. that it has no inten- ton of violating the Root agreement concerning the open door in China or of prejudicing the rights; Of, Amerf- cans in China The greatest inter- est exists today among the Japanese as to whether the United States is satisfied with Japan's explanations of it's Chinese policy.
 The departure from Japan April 1 '. on leave of absence of George w. Gu- thrie, the American ambassador is interpreted here as indicating that Japan and the U1fted States are in accord on this question
 London, May 6-The Daily News today publishes an editorial article E on the Chinese situation which reads in part as follows;
 sIt would not be easy to parallel such demands from one power to an- other as Japan has made on Chinas In many respects they are more stringent than the Austri an demands upon Serbia, which ledlto the Egdro- psan war and China has done jnotIlirg Z to incur such a penalty She offered no menace to Japan and she wanted only to enjoy her own liberties in her own way.
 If China had been a military r1a- ton she never would have been thus chatienged- She has neither the will nor the power to take an Gllrafriend dIy and irreconcfEa course toward her powerful neighbor and it Is grotesque to suggest that she is responsible for the serious situation
 It would bes the last and most bit ter tragedy of this war if one Of it's nAtfon whose in epAndsnce and integ- raty the AngIo-Japanese alliance has g7zarar seed, is to be despoiled by one oI me s1gners of that alliance.
