sleet did not surprise them much.
They encountered very chilly wealth

1t was the end of the annual south

been gone three weeks.
The Phils were scheduled to play

impossible to get the grounds in

expects the big right-hander to re-
port here to-day or tomorrow. Wat

of Cincinnati Pitcher

Nashville, Tenn. April 12.-After
celebrating several hours, the jury
in the case of Fred Toney, pitcher
of the Cincinnati National League
baseball club, charged with viola
ton of the draft law, reported that
it was unable to reach an agreement.
Federal Judge Sanford discharged
the jury and docketed the case for
the next term of court.
Toney had claimed deferred classi-
fcation on the ground of dependent
parents. and the government con-
tended that he had not previously
supported them.
While the trial was in progress
the Federal Grand Jury returned an
indictment, charging Toney with
violation of the Mann act. Toney
gave bond in the sum of $1,000 and
was released pending trial.

PRESIDENT TURNS DOWN AUSTRIA'S
 PEACE PROPOSAL

Washington, Sept. 17-President Wilson last night fiatly rejected the Austro-Hungarian governments pro- posal for a peace barley.
 His reply Is perhaps without a pre- cedent in history. It was made pub lie within half an hour after the Swed- ish Minister delivered the official text of the note to the State Department.
 The Presidents answer was issued in the form of a statement from Sec retary of State Lansing which read as follows:
 T am authorized by the President to state that the following will be the reply of this government to the Au- stro-Hungarian note proposing an un- official conference of belligerents:
 The government of the United States feels that there is only one re- ply which 1t can make to the sugges- tion of the Imperial Austro- Hungar- ian government. It has repeatedly and with entire candor stated the terms upon which the United States would consider peace and can and will entertain no proposal for conference upon a matter concerning which it has made it's position and purpose SC plain.'"
 The President, 1t is assumed, again spoke for the allied world, and in sc doing wrote finish" to the Austrian move. His answer consisted of ex- actly 6S words as compared with the several thousand words that made uI the long statement from Austria.
