ADMITS LIMITATIONS
ON RIGHT OF SEIZURE
Britain to Free Germans Taken Off
American Ship if They Are Not
Of Army or Navy.

Great Brtain's reply to the representa-
tons of the United States regarding the
thirty eight Germans who were removed
by a British cruiser from the American
steamship China near Shanghai recently
makes it clear that the assertion of the
right to remove subjects of an enemy
country from a neutral ship on the high
seas is limited strictly to persons who
form part of the military establishment
of the enemy.
1t is said that it gives assurances
that if investigation shows that there
are among the men removed any who
are not part of the German army or
navy they will be released.
The contention is that there is moth
ing inconsistent in this attitude with
that assumed by the British govern
ment in the famous Mason and Slidell
case arising during the civil war, when
the two Confederate commissioners
were removed by Federal warship from
the British liner Trent.

German consul at Baltimore. with the

The story told to Department of

Letter From Won Papen.
In his statement Won der Goltz is
quoted as saying he went to Baltimore

former German military attache here,

Goltz in any way he could.
Won der Goltz has told the agents he

Raw Oyster Is To Be

The raw oyster today is to be looked
upon with suspicion. Great care should

seller should be known to be reliable

II is hard to explain why the oyster
furnishes fashionable dish when it has
become the custom to supply the eulIs,
whica few years ago would have been
thrown back into their beds as being
unfit for the market.
The food value Of four or five OF
these culls is almost nil and the taste
so insipid that they are Favored with
strong condiments that entirely destroy
what little natural flavor the culls had.
II can hardly be said that these culls
thrown out from the cookable oysters
from various beds, are palatable They
.are, however, dangerous, as they can
and do sometimes carry the germs OF
typhoit fever.

STANFORD BEATEN BY
WASHINGTON EIGHT.
CIam-Diggers LOafed On Job
Of Beating Them---Creat
Crowd at Auto Races

Seattle, Wash, April S.-Defeated,
but offering no excuses, the Stanford
University crew started for Palo Alto
today while thousands of University of
Washington students cheered them for
the game race they Towed on Lake
Washington late yesterday.
Beaten from the start, Stanford S
eight fought their way over the three
mile course losing at every stroke. Wit
Washington several lengths ahead and
steadily gaining with powerful, ma
ehine-like pull, the cardinal veterans
never failed to respond to CoXswain
Lyon appeal for more speed. Stan
ford crossed the finish line 81 seconds
behind.
Because Of its victory over Washing
ton last year and its sensational show
ing at Poughkeepsie, the Stanford
crew was favorite before the regatta.
Its chances went glmmering and the
bottom fell out of its stock, however,
in the first quarter mile. Washington s
crew was obviously so superior that the
Seattle eight actually lOafed after
had established an Unbeatable lead, loi-
tering along at stroke of 30. Stan
ford spanked the water at 80 in series
of desperate, heartbreaking spurts, all
of which failed. As the finish neared
the southerners oars wObbled and
splashed, three men dropped in their
seats, utterly exhausted while five
lengths ahead the sun glinted on eight
white tipped blades steadily cutting in
to the water with only smoothness
The time was: Washington, l7O6;

Washington is 1923.

which makes dopesters believe the Sc
attic crew could outdistance anything

on fielding errors and in determining
the base to which. runner should
have been held with perfect support ON
part of fielders.
Charging of Errors.
An error made by pitcher is the
same as though made by any other
fielder, and should not be charged
against the pitchers S earned run recoiU.
No run can be earned that scores as
result of hatsman having reached first
ON a fielding error or a passed ball.
No run can be earned after the
fielding side has missed chance or
chances to retire the side.
Following are examples, presuming
that perfect play has preceded the
plays outlined;
Before two are out-rmners on third
and first; outfielder drops fly ball, but
recovers and forces man at second the
run scoring on play. Do not score run
as earned on that particular play if the
fielder had an easy throw to head off
run at plate.
Before two are out--Smith base on
balls; would have been forced out at
second but for error on Brown s
grounder to short; Wilson triples.
Only Browns run earned, as Smith
should have been out.
None oat-Smith hit by pitcher; to
second on an out; to third ON wild
pitch. Scores on another out. Earned
run.
Before two out-Smith singles; steals
second; should have been out at third
but for an error. Brown hits home run.
Only last run earned.
Smith first on balls; second on
Brown being hit; two more bases on
balls force Smith home. Earned run.
None out Smith singles; Brown
sacrifices; Smith scores when third
baseman makes error on Wilson
grounder; Green doubles Smith s run
becomes an earned run, as he would
have scored from second ON hit with
out help of the error.
In cases where runner advances as
result of poor Judgment by fielder, bu'
where no actual fielding error is made
the same must be scored as perfect
play. Errors and passed balls can be
construed only as designated in sections
and 10 respectively of scoring rule 50
/ In case Of doubt as to scoring Of al
earned run, please refer 10 headquarters
giving outline Of the play.
Construction of Scoring Rules
Do not score a double play in a east
where an error intervenes between tW'
put outs. thus breaking the continuity
of the play. as.
Do not give an asst to the mtielde
who. with a runner on first, makes
bad throw in fielding battcd ball t
that base and ON which play the bats
man is safe but the first runner is SUB
sequently retired in trying to advance
