FULrzs REQUEST UNFAIR.
Hermann Issues Statement on Cues
ton of Contract Changes.

CINCINNATI. November 10.-August
Hermann, chairman of the National
Baseball Commission, issued a state
ment replying to a request by David
Fultz, president Of the Baseball Play
ers' fraternity, that players contracts
De changed to prevent players injured
in the services of club being suspend
ed, uncompensated. during their illness.
Mr.. Herrmann's statement says in part:
This request on the part Of Mr.. Fultz,
IN my Judgment is wholly unwarranted
and uncalled for. and creates a false
impression in the minds of the baseball
public, to wit. that they may be given
to understand that the practice now is
that players injured in the service of a
club, after a certain period. may be sus-
pended without compensation. This is
not fact, and the commission has at
all times ruled that a player must be
compensated when injured in the serv-
ice of club, regardless of the length
Of the period of his injury, or else be
given his release after certain
period"

TWO GOOD GAMES
HERE TOMORROW
Georgetown Meets West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan and C. U.
Plays Maryland State.
HARVARD VS.. PRINCETON
BY n. c. BYRD.

Two good foot ball games are to be
played here tomorrow. offering the best
card of the year, from a local stand
point. Georgetown meets West vir-
ginia Wesleyan on the Hilltop and
Catholic University has Maryland State
for its opponent at Brookland. George
Washington is to play Eastern College
at Union League Park. but the con-
test is sure to be so one-sided as to
make it uninteresting. Georgetown.
following it's hard game with Fordham,
may not find itself in shape to defeat
the West Virginians very decisively.
while the struggle between c. u and
the Marylanders looks to be almost a
toss-up, with the odds favoring the
Brooklanders somewhat because of
their veteran backaeld.
The West Virginia Wesleyan eleven
will be heavy, weighing little less than
that which wears the Blue and Gray.
The visitors will not be as strong as
Georgetown, basing that statement on
the general showing of the two e1evens
in the previous part Of the season,
though they should be powerful enough
to give the local university fairly
hard game. 1t is not to be expected

nor that it will show team as well
developed as that of Georgetown. 1t
appears that the only chance West Vir-
ginfa Wesleyan has to get the long END
OF the score is to catch the Blue and
Gray off color, because of effects re-
sulting from the hard struggle with
Fordham Tuesday. The West Virginia
team has been decisively defeated by
Penn State and Washington and Jeffer-
son.
The game at Brookland between Cath
olic University and the Maryland eleven
should be one of the hardest fought
of the year in this section. The Brook
landers have been defeated but once
this season. Lehigh having won after

ADJUSTING MEXICO.

The Americana Mexican Joint com
mission approaches its task in a
friendly and confident spirit 1t is an
exceptional body of men summoned in
to conference on matters Of first i'm
portance to both countries. The three
American members are all known in
ternationally for their high personal
attachments and public services; the
three Mexicans are admirably fitted for
their duties. II is a commission that
should be productive of great results
The United States earnestly desires
not only the adjustment of the differ
ences that have arisen between the
two countries but the speedy rehabili-
tation of Mexico Aside from any be-
uevolent intentions that II may harbor
toward its stricken neighbor, self-in-
terest alone must prompt it to con
tribute by every means IN its power TO
the establishment of conditions beyond
the Rio Grande that shall insure stable
government and peaceful progress.
Certain elements in this country, in
a spirit OF jingoism and greed, have
sought to promote intervention in Mex
leo They have failed in their purpose.
and the meeting Of the American-Mex-
lean joint commission at New London
makes doubly certain their failure Out
Of its deliberations we may hopefully
expect not merely a settlement of diffi-
culties between the United States and
Mexico but an understanding as TO
measures that will put Mexico upon it's
feet politically, financially and eco
nomically.
