AS it was, there was not vacant
seat within the amphitheater when
the players took the field and hum
dreds of disappointed fans thronged
adjacent streets. Every point OF van

diamond was occupied by men and
toys long before the game began; ana
as the struggle progressed, the groups
crew in number. The sloping roofs
and towers of the Seventh regiment

and sailors. while the trees and fences
of a small park bore human burdens

intended in the original plan.

Inside the park the crowds over
flowed both bleachers and pavilions
until the fans were rows deep behind
the center field fence. Many Of these
had stood in line all night and We're
lined up by thousands at the gates
when the portals were opened early In
the forenoon. BY noon the last of the
regular seats and other space were
filled and the doors closed. After
that the only persons to enter the
park were the fortunate holders Of
reserved seat coupons.
The scenes among the fans were
much the same as in all recent series.
Flags were prominent throughout the
park and there were the usual bands,
singing and photographing and movie
camera operators who snapped and
cranked their machines before and
during the game.

B|TTERSTRUGGLE
Conference Report Sets Age
Limits For Conscripts-
sure Not Out Of Woods
tAssoelated Press by cablel

WASHINGTON, May l0-Tonight a
fight is developing over the seleetive
drtft or army conscription bill, after
an agreement had been reached by the
senate and house conferees and the bill
apparently had clear sailing.
Congressman Anthony Of Kansas and
Julius Kahn of California, Republicans,
announced this evening that they will
refuse to sign the conference report.
Congressman Anthony is opposed to it
because of the elimination Of the
amendment which would allow Colonel
Roosevelt to raise an army for France.
Kahn is opposed because of the prohibi.
tiOn sections. He maintains that he
does not approve of making the United
States appear as either q drunken or
immoral nation.
The conferees on the new army bill,
today reached an agreement which was
reported Immediately to the respective
bodies W. D..
The age limits under the selective
draft plan was compromised between
the two conference committees. The
agreement is that the draft shall apply
only 10 men DeIWeeH the ages OF Il JO
80. The house wanted u to 40 and
the senate II to 81.
Two important amendments propos
ed to the bill were killed by the con,
ferees. One of these would have
allowed Col. Roosevelt, who is ont OF
active service and long past the regular
army age limit, to raise four divisions
for service in France. a. Er.
The other would have allowed the
raising of three volunteer regiments
for duty as a border patrol along the
Mexican lines. Both have been ielimin'
ated. ......A-'.sN
The elimination of the Roosevelt
amendment is expected TO arouse op
position in the senate especially.
1t is believed that the conference
agreement on the prohibition amend
ment will be so modified that liquor
wine or beer may not be sold on mill
tary reservations but that it will not
be declared unlawful TO give or sell in
tOxicants to men in uniform. q.
The general staff officers approve OF
the agreement reached by the conferee:
which calls for the total elimination
of the volunteer system.

In the French sectors the fight
ing continued with unabated fury
yesterday, the Germans keeping
up their almost desperate efforts
to win back some Of the vital
ground they have lost north of
oueant, on the celebrated Wotan
line. From Fresnoy to a point
well east of Bullecourt the British
held fast, beating back the con-
slant assaults with their heavy
guns and machine guns, so that
the attacking waves hardly ever
reached their trenches.
East Of Bullecourt the Ger

southern end OF their line from
Queant to Drocourt, the positions
upon which depend the safety oil
