Pichon With Wilson.
Stephen Pichon, the foreign min
ister, said to the Associated Press
today:
You asked me in what spirit the
French government is preparing to
participate in the peace negotiations.
1t is agreeable and easy for me to
reply that the ideal which sustained
US during the war is guiding us
effectively on the eve of peace. This
defines our policy.
"We have been attacked. We
want security. We have been despoil-
ed. We demand restitution.
We have been devastated; we want
reparation.
But that which we asked for our
selves, we demand for all and hence
are clearly in accord with Pre- sident
Wilson, .--.--.. --s,n-. '-- ~.
Quotes Wilson's Words.
"Rumors of suspicious origin
have attempted in the past two
weeks to lead one to the belief that
notable differences existed between
the allies on the conception of
peace. In order to despel doubts
and to bring forth the truth, l cam
not do better than to appropriate
the words spoken in London by
your president and do declare that
the exchanges of views which have
just taken place between him and
the allied governments have proved
the complete accord regarding the
meaning and purpose of the duty for
the accomplishment of which we
have gathered"

KNAPP IN LINE
TOLEAD LEAGUE
\International's Fate Still
Hanging in the Balance;
Jack Dunn's Plan

Baltimore, Jan. 10.-The meeting
of the National Commission had lit
ele or no effect upon the fate of
the international League. The ma
1ors may get together and tell how
vital 1T is for the circuit to keep
going and that it should be given
every encouragement, but that will
about let out their efforts. They have
stood idly by for a long while now
and there is no occasion for expect
ing them to step up and do any
thing where it will cost one penny.
Its not in ther blood.
The fate of the International con-
tinues to get considerable attention
throughout the land. The feeling is
more or less general that the organ
tzation will start next season. Talk
that the organization will suspend
can scarcely be heard, even in the
towns which did all the croalling
before the December session of the
league.
Jack Dunn's Plan
Various folks are being named
rs probable successors to Ed Barrow
but it would not be a bad bet to
say that the man who will succeed
to the job has not as yet been men
TONED. and this includes Pat Pow
STS, JlIl GTlCS, NudTley IndplH, JUG
Lannin, and last but not least,
Charles H. Knapp, of Baltimore. -
Hearken unto the following choice
bit by a Buffalo scribe:
Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, who
cast his vote against Barrow at the
recent meeting, also has a candi-
date for president of the league.
Dunn thinks that Charles Fl. Knapp
e. lawyer who is interested in the
Baltimore team, would make an
ideal man for the job. Knapp, who
has large legal practice, couldn't
be expected to give up his law bus
mess for S2,500, the salary hXed for
the International League head. and
unless the headquarters of the or
Eanization is moved to Baltimore
the selection of Knapp would be
out of the question. Therein lies
the secret of Dunn's desire to see
Knapp made president.

Pennsylvania railroad teams, Steel
ton and the local independent teams.
There Is marked activity in the
east and west end of the city in prep
aration for launching an early base
ball season. The East End A. A. will
be in the field with a great team.
Those West Enders will also have
their stars working out as soon as the
weather will permit.
In intercollegiate circles there is
still some doubt as to the ability to
pull off spring track events, and keep
outdoor sports going during tneSearlN
summer. According to reports major
league teams will fill a number or
dates in the South heretofore played
by college teams.
WilkeS-Barre owners have given
up all hopes for baseball in the New
York State League this year. Play
ers are being disposed of and the
Baron magnates will not take any
chances in losing money. Wise folks
say it would be profitable for Presi-
dent ]. II. Farrell to advocate all
managers on his circuit to sell play =
ers. The majors need them.
You must hand it to the Harris
burg Garnets for getting games with
some of the strongest teams in tins

they will journey to Lebanon to play

HUNT SUCCESSOR.
TO !. K. TENER;
TWOCANDIDATES

Chicago, Jan. 10.-John X. Tener's
resignation is still in the hands of
the National League Club owners
and it may be accepted before the
season opens. This was learned to-
day and one was given to understand
that a man will be appointed next
month to take his place. Who the
individual is could not be ascer-
tanned.
Although the National League
Club owners tentatively decided to
permit Tener to remain in the chair
as president at the recent meeting
in New York, they have come to the
conclusion that their organization is
too big to have him give only half
his time to his duties. They feel
that the task OF running the az
fairs of the league is q big one and
that the job requires all of one mans
time and that Tener cannot do him
self or the position justice by trying
to be president of the league and at
the same time hold down another
job.

DOn'ts For Trapshooters
BY "Trapshooter''

Don't shoot too quick; get a
steady line on the target and
then pull the trigger.
After you've had your shot let
your gun remain unloaded until
your turn to shoot comes around
again.
Don't talk to your neighbor.
It's disconcerting. Keen your
mind concentrated on the work
in hand. It's essential to good
scores.
When the time comes to
change places at the score don't
move until the squad moves.
Gives the other fellow a show.
Don't let the loss of a target
fiuster you. You can't get them
all at all times. Keep cool and
get ready for the next one.
Don't get peeved when the tar
get breaks as 1t leaves the trap.
Take your time. Keep your eve
on the trap and pulverize the
target following.
Don't blame the gun or the
shells If your score is not salts
tory. Remember that the ques-
tion of personality tempera-.
ment and ability-enter into the
sport. And it may Just be your
day off. Such things will occur
regardless of alibis.

REFLECT HARLOW
AT PENN STATE
Famous Coach Remains Oh
Job; Contract Runs
Three Years

State College, Pa, Jan. 1O.-Rich-
ard c. Harlow, resident football
coach at Pennsylvania. State for the
last three years, to-day signed a con-
tract to handle the Blue and White
eleven for the next three seasons.
He will have complete charge of
the gridiron squad and will select
his own assistants. The announce
ment was made by r. II. Smith.
graduate manager of athletics.
Harlow's appointment becomes ef-
fective at once, and he will shortly
begin indoor work with the ma
terial for next seasons team. His
selection for the position meets with
the unanimous approval of the stu
dent body, the alumni and the play
ers.
Was Famous Tackle
Famous as a tackle on States
1910 and 1911 teams, Harlow's
name is familiar to all followers of
Penn State athletics. His subse=
quent work as assistant coach un-
der Bill Hollenback, brought him
recognition as a close student of
football tactics.
AS football director during the
seasons of 1915, 1915 and 1917, Har-
low was assisted by visiting back
field coaches who shared the respon-
sibility with him. Under the new
contract terms, however, Harlow
reigns supreme on and off the field,
and he will decide and direct all
football activities of State teams.

Railroad Athletes to Open
Winter Activities With
Dance; Saturday Sports

Night men who are members of
the Motive Power Athletic Associa-
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad had
little sleep to-day. Just now every
body identified with railroads is on
the job to the limit. Daylight men
could not get away from work to help
put the big athletic hall in North
Seventh street in shape for the big
opening event tonight, and the
night men got busy.
One big dance program will be
offered as the first event. Decorators
to-day made the hall exceedingly at
tractive and tonight there will be
one large sized committee on hand to
receive the guests and see that every
one present has a good time.
Sports Saturday
Then will come one day of rest dur
ing which athletes will prepare for
the big contests Saturday night. The
local Motive Power cage team will
play Altoona five. This is to be the
first of a series of games for the
System championship. Both Altoona
and Harrisburg have already elimi-
mated all other teams. The second
game will be played at Altoona and
the third on a neural floor. The
Mountain City chaps won the cham
pionship in 1916, and last year were
runners up.
Two famous tug of war teams,
Harrisburg and Altoona, will also try
for honors Saturday night. This is not
all. There will be a volleyball con-
test, and an indoor baseball contest
with Altoona athletes. A big crowd
of rooters is coming from Altoona.
Motive Power officials say it will be
some night. The time for each con-
test and what it means for Harris
burg to win will be announced to-
night at the dance.

The owners of the National League
are looking forward to one of the
best seasons in years. despite war
conditions. Times have been a bit
strenuous and may be this year, and
that is why the magnates desire
that some one occupy the chair who
can give all of his time to the work.
They will probably continue with
Tener. as president until the Febru-
airy meeting in New York and by
that time a new man will have been
found and will be announced.
Judge Lands is one of the men
who have been mentioned to succeed
Tener and it would not be at all
surprising if he were offered the
position. Charles w. Murphy also
has been mentioned, as has John
Heydler, but what the league will
do is problem. Murphy is out of
the question, because the club owners
do not feel kindly toward him. Be-
cause of past experience, Heydler
would make an ideal executive. He
probably knows more about the
game than any other man in it.
