CUT OUT HAMMER THROW
Contests Eliminated to Make Room
for Army and Navy Events at
Franklin Field.

PHILADELPHIA. March 5.-The ham,
mer-tllrowing contest will be eliminated
this year from the program OF the Uni--
versity of Pennsylvania relay carnival to
be held April 26 and %. it was announced
today. The action was taken. the an.
nouncement stated, in order to make room
for the Army and Navy events. which
will be the feature of the first day of the
meet. Because of the large number OF
events TO be held that day the danger sur
rounding the hammer throw was con-
sidered too great.
The question of eliminating the hammer
throwing contest has been Il frequent sub
ject of discussion by athletic bodies. A
resolution having this for its object was
offered last Saturday at the annual meet
ing of the Intercollegiate Amateur Attn
letic Association of America in New York,
The association, however. decided not to
change its regular order of championship
events and the resolution was tabled.
At least two hundred colleges and schools
are expected to have teams at the relay
races this year. More than fifty colleges.
including all the big eastern institutions
except Harvard. have already sent word
that they would be represented. Teams
from many middle western and southern
colleges will also compete.

ROYALS WILL ROLL
CHEVY CHASE QU|NT
Accept Invitation of CIubmen
for Duckpin Match Thurs
day, March Is.

Next week the annual match between
the Chevy Chase Club and Royal bowlers
will take place on the alleys at the Chevy
Chase Club Thursday night. March 49,
For the last two years the clubmen have
extended invitations to the Royals for
matches. and when the latter were asked
if they cared TO roll again this season
they jumped at the chance. OF course,
it is not expected that the Chevy Chase
team will bowl as well as their much
more experienced opponents. but some
kind of handicap probably Will be ar
ranged to make the play as close as is
usual in most matches.
Joe krchton, champion bowler of Bal
timore, will come here tomorrow after
noon for d singles match with the pick
of the Washington pin spillers. So far. no
definite arrangements have been made as
to who will be his opponent, INT Pop
Haley says he will go against the Balu-
morean if he can possibly arrange his
business affairs to get away in the after
noon.
HALEY probably is the most popular
individual bowler in Washington and
most widely known and Il meeting be
tween him and Krichton would prove
an excellent feature TO what otherwise
promises duh year as far as special
matches are concerned.
II the District League last night the
Royals dropped two out of three games
to the Resolutes. Farrow, jr., anchor
man for the winning team, got the
highest scores. He toppled only 10 in
his opening game, but in the second
and third rolled 100 and 1872 Rider
did the best work for the Royals.
Three matches were rolled in the
Southern Railway Clerks League. Pur-
chasing won three straight from Law,
w. Dorsey of the winners being star of
the play. Freight took two out of
three from Managers, and Treasurers
captured the same number from Au-
ditors. Blaisdell, Treasures, and Fee
gan of Managers did some excellent
bowling.

Four Points Commented Upon.

-Four points of Won HertlinG's speech
ere selected by Lord LanSdovne for
comment. First is the chancellor's wish
for an intimate meeting of the bel
IiGerentS. Lord LanSdowne interprets
this to mean d small informal meeting.
not OF plenipotentiaries, but of per-
sons authorized to discuss confidential
" the posi- bility of d more formal con-
ference. He refers approvingly to the
opinion of Foreign Secretary Balfour
that il would be unwiSe to begin neSo-
:iations unless some preliminary agree
uont exists. and asks how such a pre-
Urinary agreement is TO be reached
without preliminary conversations.
Lord Lansdowne remarks that allied
spokesman now are sternly reprobating
Germany's crimes and are submitting
demands which are not likely to be
conceded until Germany is beaten to
her knees, while German spokesman
are putting forward inadmissibe de-
mands and imputing selfish and ag-
Sressive aims to the allies. He con-
tinues:
In these circumstances it seems at
first sight that there is nothing for it
but what Count Won Hertling calls ad-
herence TO the existing method of dia-
logue across the channel and the ocean,

Would Scrutinize Enemy Practice.

The second point is Won HertIing's
admission that peace can be discussed
on the basis of President Wilson's four
principles. This. says Lord Lansdowne
is satisfactory as far as it goes. but he
maintains that I'VE are entitled to
scrutinize the manner in which these
principles have been applied by Ger
many.
The third point is the chancellor's as
suranCe that he would greet joyfulIy
and cooperate gladly with an Impair
ual court of international arbitration.
Lord LanSdowne says this statement
may be welcomed and recalls that Mr.
Balfour made a similar utterance
The fourth point is Won Hertling's in
tmation that Germany does not think
Of retaining Belgium, together with the
chancellor's references to the papaI
note and to the utilization of Belgium
as jumping-of ground for Gernaany's
enemies. Lord Lansdowne admits that
when read in the light of other Ger
man utterances this leads to the in
ference that the chancellor contem-
plated the imposition upon Belgium OF
terms which would interfere with her
Independence, but he points out that
the material passage in the papal note
upon which Won Hertling apparently
relies insists that Germany eyacuate
Belgium and guarantee her full DO
1itical, military and economic indie
pcndence. adding that if such guar
antee is really all the chancellor re-
ouires it ought not to be difficult to sat

JOHNSON AND GR|FF
REACH AGREEMENT
Compromise on Salary Effect
ed by Correspondence.
Judge and Martin Start.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Any doubt which may have existed rs
to whether Walter johnson will pitch
for the Nationals this year has been
disspatcd by the receipt of Il letter
from him by Manager Griffith in which
the Kansan indicates he is in con
ciliatory mood and willing to accept a
compromise between the salary offered
lin the contract originally submitted to
him and the figure he sought for his
services when negotiations first were
opened.
Walter always has been a good bust
ness man. Griff said today. and proves
by his letter that he has good, common
sense in realizing that the conditions
confronting the sport do not permit of
the practices which have obtained in
base ball for the past few years. We
understand each other thoroughly and
anticipate no difficulty in reaching
definite agreement with him within a
few days.
In his letter johnson said he recently
had suffered an attack of the mumps.
but that he had fully recovered and eN-
pected to be in prime physical shape by
the time he reports for training.
The vanguard of the Griffmen will
leave for Augusta this evening when
Mike Martin and Joe Judge board
tram for the camp where they will join
honeymoon there. The trainer will take
several Trunks full of uniforms and
fparapheraalia with him and see that
everything is in readiness for the ar
rival of the battery candidates next

Hans Wagner has ever reached, pro-

Manager Griffith is suffering from

are he will be confined to his home
