TH|RTY-THREE MEN
 10 BE TURNED AWAY
Weeghman and Tinker Decide to
 Cut the Strings

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Thirty-t three play will be placed on the market accord ing to a decision reached by President Weeghman and Manager Tinker at a conference here. While Tinker would not give out the list he said there are included in this number several who are good enough to remain in fast company.
 Previously Tinker has intimated his probable lineup of players, and this list shows that the following prob ably are slated to go: Pierce, Adams, Standridge, Babel, Wallace, Har- greave, Mccarthy, Knisely, McLarry, Hogg, Wright, Alliston, Phelan, Douglas, Good, PechOus, Weiss, Hum- phries, Schultz Murray, Fisher, Rob- bins, Schorr, Heating, Bresnahan, Westerall, Fritz, Hanford, Hauser, Farrell, Jackson, Brennan and Prem dergast.
 Tinker said he would not put these men on the market imme ediately, but thought he would bid for a player or two in a trade. He wants Heinie Groh of the Cincinnati Reds. Tinker remarked he could give the Reds sev- eral ball players who would strength en the team
 Weeghman and Tinker are going to Cincinnati next week, possibly on January 5, and while there expect to meet Manager Herzog or the Reds, to whom they will make an offer for Groh. Whether Tinker will land him or not is uncertain, but he says he will make the proposition so big that Herzog and Garry Hermann will do lot Of thinking be1ore they turn it down.
 II Tinker does not succeed in mak- ing trade or two he will place the th1rty-three players on the market for the best offer

Carranza Parleys May
Lead to Fresh
Negotiations.
WILSON AGAINST
ANY MEDIATION
Note to Latin Republics
Seen as Step to Fore
stall Their Action.
rFrcrn Tns r1rns Bureau J

Washington, June 22.-With both
governments protesting a desire for
peace, there is believed tonight TO be
some hope that war between the United
States and Mexico can be avoided. No
report from American sources had been
received here up TO late hour con-
cerning yesterdays fighting at Carrizal
but the incident was discussed by Sec
retsry Lansing and Ambassador Desig-
nate Arredondo to-day, and it Is gener-
ally agreed that it need not lead TO hos
tiities.
The fact that General Carranza, after
receiving the American note and re-
port on the Csrrizal incident. ins'rcted
his envoy here to resume diplomatic
parleys is taken as a clear indication
that the de fscto government will no,
carry out its threat Of war, but will
strive to settle the dispute by negotia-
tion. Officials here say this government
will do the same. The question is
therefore dependent largely on the con-
duct Of the military forces Of both gov
ernments.
Note 10 Latin Republics.
The State Department sent copies OF
its note TO Csrranza to all the Latin
American embassies and legations TO-
day, together with a memorandum de-
claring that in the event OF hostilities
this government would not intervene in
Mcxico's internal affairs, but that q
state Of international war would exist
in which the United States would have
no purpose other than TO prevent fur
ther attacks on Americans and Ameri-
can territory. This memorandum is re-
garded by the recipients as an unpreee-
dented step They say that diplomacy
knows no name for this move OF the
Administration.
The purpose is believed TO forestall
embarrassing offers Of mediation By ss'
surinG the South and Central American
republics that the United States has no
L
ulterior motive in Mexico. But diplo-
mats ask how the United States can
be 80 sure Of what consequences such
war will bring and what possible e1-
cuse there can be for hostilities II con-
ditions are to remain the same after
the war as before It.
Those diplomats commented also on
Secretary Lansing's reference 10 the
Mexican government as "a government
which il encouraging and aiding the
marauding bandits in their activities.
