General Sporting Notes.

1t is a rather unusual thing for q
pitcher to retire from baseball the nexi
season after pitching a no-hit.no-rur
game of ball. but this is what is said OF
George Foster of the Red Sox. This re.
remarkable feat was performed against
the New York Yankees, a sweet-hitting
bunch of players when they were travel
ing at their best clip in the season. 1t
is a feat which all pitchers have desire
to achieve in their baseball careers. One
reason of Fosters quitting the game is
probably on account OF his sore arm,
which he nursed all along through last
year. There would be once in while a
day that he could pitch nice article of
ball, but as a general rule he was a
little off form. His intentions at pres
ent are to return to his ranch in Okla
homa and settle down to the quiet farm
life.

that it is to his interest to start in

Senate Vote Last Night Was
AZ to 18 and Was
Dramatic
CAME AT THE END
OF STIRRING DEBATE
Senator MARITIME the Only
Democrat to Vote
Against 1t

Washington, ID. c., jan 6.-Approya
of President Wilson's request for q
statement of peace terms from the Euro
pean belligerents was voted last night by
the Senate at the conclusion of three
days of stirring debate, Action came
with dramatic suddenness when Demo
cratic leaders decided to accept form OF
resolution that would not commit the
Senate to endorsement of the whole of
the presidents note and ten Republicans
of the Progressive group joined the ma
jority in making the vote As to Is.
Senator MARITIME OF New Jersey was
the only Democrat to vote in the mega
tive. Discussion of the subject had
reached climax during the day, with
sensational declaration by Senator
Lewis, chief spokesman for the Demo.
Gratis, replying to Republican criticism of
the presidents course. Without referring
directly to the submarine controversy,
the senator said the United States could
not keep out of the war if it continued,
and that America would not again accept
misconception of orders or zeal of an Off
Ger as an excuse for an injury to citizen
or property.
The chief objection urged against the
original resolution offered by Senator
Hitchcock was that it would endorse the
presidents offer to join in a movement to
guarantee world peace and his declara-
tion of the interest of the United States
in small nations. Progressive Republic
cans joined Senator Lodge and others in
this contention.
