VIEW OF WASHINGTON DIPLOMATS

Washington, March ia general
peace move will be launched within
three or four months, according to
views of diplomats and officials.
In the opinion of military men,
government authorities and repre-
sentatives Of foreign powers here,
there are many elements at work
which are tending to bring great
world war to its closing stage.
These elements include an increas-
ingly acute food situation in all war
ring nations, particularly among the
central powers; a growing unrest
among peoples as indicated by dis
satisfaction manifested toward en-
tente cabinets; possibility of any one
of principal nations breaking sudden
ly under military strain; and grow
ing belief that neither side can
achieve an overwhelming victory
such as would force a strictly mill
tary peace.

here that Germany will do every

If this country does enter, central
powers feel that it would serve only
to prOlOng the struggle.
There are reasons to believe that
Germany will exercise every precaU-

REDOY LIKELY TO
MAKE M'CAULIFFE
HUSTLE THURSDAY

It looks as if the boxing bouts to
be held Thursday night at tho Casino
under the auspices of the Irish-Amer-
lean A. C. will be witnessed by large
crowd. The fans have displayed great
interest in the card which includes a
number of good boys. The fact that
Terry Lee has been selected to referee
the events is also a recommendation
who puts a lot Of pepper into The pro-
ceedings by making the boxers do
their best at all times.
The star bout of II rounds between
Young McAuliffe of this city and Bat
thing Reddy Of New York ought to
provide plenty of excitement for the
fans. Reddy is willing mixer. He
and McAuliffe had lively battle
when they met in New York recently
Although McAuliffe shaded Reddy in
that meeting the New Yorker kept
after him every minute and was dam
gerous all theetime. Since then Reddy
has been demanding a return match
McAuliffe resumed training today
after taking few days rest as a re-
suit of the hard nights work he did
in the ring with AL Shubert last
Thursday.
In the ten round semi-final Billy
Richards Of this city will take on Will
lie Schaefer of New York. Schaefer
is well known as a performer in New
York clubs. He will find Richards a
hard opponent if Billy does as we'll as
in his recent bout here with Tommy
Marengo. In the ten round opener
Bud Palmer of this city will clash
with Charley Pitts of this city. These
youngsters are both willing workers
who will swap punches continually.

YOUNG CORBETT KNOCKED
OUT TOMMY MOWATT
AS LAST GONG SOUNDED

Is a boxer knocked out when he is
unconscious at the end of the fight,
IT the bell rings before the count of
ten is reached? This question great
ly agitated the boxing bugs Of Chica-
go following the contest between
Young Corbett and Tommy Mowatt,
a Windy City lightweight, thirteen
years ago tonight. All the betting
was on whether Mowatt could stick
the full six rounds with the Denverite.
JUS. as the sixth and last round was
nearing its conclusion, Corbett land
ed a puncR that sent Mowatt down
fat on his back, dead to the world.
He couldn't have got up with a
count Of fifty, but before the referee
reached ten the bell sounded, and
the contest was over. Those who
had bet on Mowatt to stick the full
six rounds insisted that he had done
SO, and this view was upheld, but
those who had put their money on
Corbett to land a knockout set up a.
great howl. They insisted that Now
att was Knocked out, and they were
right as to that, but the knockout
came few seconds too late to save
their bacon.

TO SUE RED SOX
AND DODGERS FOR
FAILURE To PLAY

Kansas City, Mo-, April 2-Blustery
east winds and wet grounds caused
the postponement here of the seventh
game between the Boston Red Sox
and the Brooklyn Dodgers, which was
to have been played yesterday in
Association park Therefore the
Sabbath day was a day of rest for the
wearied athletes, who had been on
the move constantly ever since they
left Hot Springs.
The postponement of yesterday
contest may result in a suit against
President Ebbets of the Brooklyn
club and President F'razee of the
Boston club by George Tebeau, head
Of the Kansas City baseball club. In
the contracts drawn, Tebeau was
given the last word in calling the
Managers Robinson and Barry that it
would be foolish even to consider
playing, Tebeau became disgruntled
and said he intended to have game
or else file suit with the National
Baseball Commission.
The game was originally set for 2
o'clock, and a quarter of an hour be-
fore that time the parties at variance
had failed to arrive at an agreement.
1t was then that Robbie and Barry de-
clared that their decision not to play
was unalterable. and Ebbets and Fra
zee were swayed to the risk of a suit
instead of gambling with the condi-
ton Of their athletes.

JESS WILLARD IS
To SEE FULTON
AND MORRIS BOUT

New York, April Bill Brown has
been selected to referee the bout be-
tween Carl Morris and Fred Fulton at
the Manhattan A. c.. Wednesday
night. Charley White was the first
choice, but he had to decline on &C
count of poor health. White isn't as
clipper as he was in his old ."Eagle
Eye days, and he realizes that yank-
ing these two giants of the ring apart
would be too great a task. Frank
Force and Nate Lewis, managers OF
the men, agreed on Brown without
argument.
Jack Curley said last night that Jess
Willard will come from Chicago to
see the bout and that Jess expects
Morris to repeat his victory over the
giant ex-plasterer. Carlos knocked
out the lanky giant in four rounds two
years ago, but it came about in Fred
erick's cub days.
Fulton has improved wonderfully
since then and has demonstrated sew
eral times lately that he has the best
left hand seen among heavies in many
years. Fulton is convinced that he
can whip the big locomotive driver,
else he would have given him a very
wide berth.

HUGHEY JENNINGS.
DETROIT MANAGER.
IS AZ YEARS OLD

Hugh Ambrose Jennings, manager
of the Detroit Tigers and Ty Cobb, at
torney-at-law, and champion grass
eater Of the universe, passes his forty
seventh milestone today. Like so
many other diamond stars, Hughie
came from the mines. He was born
in a little coal town in Pennsylvania,
the son of miner, and in due time
became a breaker boy.
He made his first baseball reputa-
ton as backstock with the Lehigh-
ton, Pa, club, and in 1891, at the age
of twenty-one, the redhaired, freckl-
ed, bow-legged youth was offered a
job with Louisville, then in the Ma
tional League. He was tried out at
first, although he had never played
that position, and got away with it in
fine style. After long and illustrious
playing career with Louisville, Bal
timore, Brooklyn and Philadelphia,
Hughie was engaged as bench manag-
er of the Tigers, and for ten years
he has ranked among the ablest pilots
OF the game.

YANKEES FAIL TO
NIT S0UTHPAWS
OF Braves STAFF

| Fayetteville, n. c., April 2.-No f1sti-
cuffs or feuds such as have made their
appearance in certain baseball quar-
ters have attended the series between
the Yankees and Braves so far, but
there has been some exceedingly en-
PERTAINING playing done-more of that
than of the dull kind, and certain de-
Ivelopments have stood out prorni-
nently.
Stallings, of the Braves, has been
hurting left handlers at the Yankees
daily. The Yanks have made but small
Roadway against this wholesale south
paw opposition, but they have had an
offset to it in the way of good pitch
ling Of their own, so that the sserles
stands two games each and each team
has been shut out twice.
Therefore if the thin hitting SO far
by the Yanks against left handlers is a
presage of such weakness in the
American league race it also must be
rem ernbered that the Yanks have
strong pitchers to make hostile runs as
scarce as their own. Then again there
lis the, not improbable chance that they
Will ,aio better against the crooked arms
otherwise left handers-than they
are doing now.
Stallings has used left handler in
each of the four games-Nehf, Tyler
ami Allen. The Yankees have not
made a run off Nehf. Neither have
they scored off Allen. Their only two
runs off left handler were made with
Tyler in the box.
The four left handed hitters of the
Yankees are Gilhooley, High, Pipp and
Baker Gilhooley and Pipp have hit
aasainst the Boston left handlers, al
though Gilhooley is adaptable ordina-
rily and not a mark for the port side
gentleman. High has carried Stall
lings' left handlers at a $50 clip, and
the redoubtalble Baker, a sterling hit
ter under any conditions and one who
is feared by all pitchers, has batted
well against the Boston southpaw tri-
umvirate. Incidentally, do you know
who it is in tho New York-Boston
party that the fans in these towns al
ways ask for first and want to see
most? Why, Baker. (which is Home
Rum Baker?' is invariably the first
question.
Nick Cullop, who was left in Macon
with pleurisy, probably won't rejoin
the New York team until it reaches
New York. He has gone home to
Chilhowie, Va. ''Slin1" Love makes a.
pretty capable left handler to fill his
place.
Donovan has reason to feel encour-
aged from the showing Of two of his
pitchers Saturday. Fisher the vet

EASTON, PA. TEAM
AND RIBBONS ARE
BOOKED TOMORROW

The Easton, Pa, team of the Penn
State league will try conclusions with
the Blue Ribbons at Colonial hall to-
morrow night. This league is very
fast as fans who saw the Uniontown
five in action here can testify. Easton
is said to be one of the best clubs in
the organization. Only one of the
players is known here. He is Garry
Schmelke, the big forward, who ap-
peared in this city in former seasons
with the New York Nationals.
Manager Leavy Of the Ribbons will
have George Norman on hand to team
with White at forward and Harvey
will be back at center after taking a
brief vacation. After their victory
over Troy last Thursday the Ribbons
are hopeful Of downing the Easton
boys. Tonight the Ribbons play the
Norwalk five on a\neutral floor in
Danbury for a 500 side bet. There
will be special train from the local
railroad station at 7:15 and a good
sized crowd of fans will make the
trip. Tom Thorpe will referee the
game. The lineup tomorrow night:
