The first hurdle approached, in dis

question whether the Senate will re-
ject the amendment proposed by the
committee on foreign relations to re-
turn Shantung to China, instead of
confirming the trcaty's bestowal of
the price upon Japan. "If' the Senate
but sustain its action, a vista of a
number of other hurdles and water
jumps is opened up, confronting the
treaty's progress to ratification.

Next comes the question of whether
reservations. now admitted on all
sides to be inevitable. shall be made

dent Wilson and the democratic
membership of the Senate, barring

claim to have a ajority of the SEN

proposing that reservations may be

Tank Owner Bitter in His Criticism of Way Mays
 Was Treated

New York. August 5-Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York Americans, issued statement tonight challenging the accuracy of the expla- nation made by President Ban Johnson, of the American League last night, with reference to his indefinite suspension of Pitcher Carl Mays. recently acquired from the Boston Americans.
 Col, Rurpert also made public a copy O. a telegram intended to show that Manager Jennings, of the Detroit Ameri- cans had negotiated for Mays services after the date on which MT Johnson declared Detroit and other clubs had pro- tested against the Yankees acquisition of Mays
 Col. Ruppert asserted that MT. John son had not stated the real facts in connection with Mays quitting the field in the midst of a game in Chicago on July 1S Mays he declared, left the field injured after being struck by bah thrown by Catcher Schang.
 Colonel Ruppert asserted that neither President Frazee nor Manager Barrow, Of the Boston Club ever received the message which MT. Johnson said he sent, inquiring why Mays was not suspended, and characterized as absolutely without foundation.
 Mir Johnson,s assertion that Lieutenant Colonel T. L. Huston, joint owner of the Yankees, had stated that New York would not negotiate for Mays.
 MT Johnson left for New York at noon without making any comment on the charge that he held a financial in terest in the Cleveland Club
 We expect to pitch Mays within the next ten days" was the declaration of the New York owners

 10 PITCH TODAY
Slap Placed on Ineligible List in Order to Make
 Room for Him

."Whitey" Glazner, the Ba- ron hurler, who suffered a sore arm while pitching an 18- inning game several weeks ago, is now in shape and will pitch one of the games today, ac- cording to an announcement made last night by Manager Molesworth.
 The addition of Glazner brings Moleys squad beyond the player limit and Slapnicka was placed on the in- eligible list in order to make room for him. "Whitey" has thousands of followers here who believe he is one of the most promising young hurlers in the minor leagues. Certain it is that he possesses the gameness and grit to make a great pitcher
 Glazner will probably pitch the sec ond game today, Coffindaffer being slated to work in the opening affair. Those who saw "Whitey" in that 1S- inning fray will doubtless be out to "a man when he mounts the slab this afternoon. Incidentally upon Glazner's s condition depends largely the Barons' chances of finishing in the first di- vision.
