Like the bully who Is licked, Ger

the men lost his way and inquired of a
German the direction to his objective.
The German told him. But during the
conversation an American officer, see
Ing the discussion, came up and placed
the doughboy under arrest for frat

explain the German rushed up and,
addressing the officer, sud:
"He was not fraternlzing with me,

asked me how TO get back and / told

The effect OF the move on the dough

officers were invited and went. Dur

again lifted her glass, saying:
""Then may l not offer a toast to

amusement law, which forbids play
after that hour. 1t was the first
American League contest under the

pitchers battle. the former permit
ting only three of the Yanks to
reach base. From the time that
Peckinpaugh singled in the first in
ming until Baker walked in the
tenth inning. johnson retired twen-
ty-eight batsmen in order.
Quinn was hit much harder. but
was strong in the pinches. Three
times he retired Washington with
the bases full.

Tech Prodigy and Team Win Fifth Place at Princeton
in Queerest Athletic Meet of History Witnessed
Only by Officials and Contestants

In one of the most unique ath-
letic meets tver held anywhere, the
Technical High School won fifth
place at the Princeton inter-scholas-
tics Saturday afternoon with fifteen
points. 1t was unique from the fact
that not one spectator saw the eX-
hitition of athletic prowess as dis
played at Palmer Stadium. Only the
officials and athletes were there with
their trainers because of the de-
luge that kept up the entire time.
Added tc this was the fact that a
cold. chilly wind swept the field and
more than one cold will be the re-
suit.
Tech athletes were expected to
make a better showing, but from the
time Tech athletes left this city until
the moment they returned: thirty

SO that the locals were drencched to

destination.

Council of Four Frames
Answer to Notes Sent by
German Peace Chairman
Blu Associated Press.

Paris, May 1.-THE Council of
Four decided yesterday upon the
terms of the reply to be made to
the two notes sent President Glenn
enceau, of the Peace Conference, on
Saturday evening. by Count Won
Brockdorff-R -RantZau.
The first of these notes asked that
a reciprocal policy be adopted as to
the repatriation of prisoners AMI re-
quested that the details of the trans
fer be placed in the hands Of a COM
mission.
In his second note, tn ehead of the
German peace delegation advanced
a counter project as to international
labor legislation.
According to the newspapers the
basis of the second note is q labor
charter. inspired by the conference
at Leeds and Berne. They argue that
the purpose is to create among So
cialists an opinion favorable to
Germany by putting in direct COLA
boration the working classes and the
present government of that country.

Tennis Prodigy, Richards,
Barred From the Sport

Vincent Richards, the 16-year-old
holder of six American national ten
mis- championships, has been sus-
pended from all tournament play by
the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association on the charge of
commercializing his name and repu-
tation as a tennis player.
The barring of Richards. whose
home is at Yonkers, n. Y, becomes
effective at once, and will continue
until such time as he may be able
to convince the tennis authorities
that he has not been guilty of the
alleged infringements of the rules
defining amateurism, with which he
is charged.
The action disqualifying Richards
was taken by the rules committee
of the national association on the
grounds that he permitted "the use
of his name to advertise or promote
the, sale of tennis goods for pecuni-
airy profits" and that being con-
nected with firm manufacturing or
selling tennis goods, his connection
appears to be of a special nature
rather than of a general application
to all lines of sporting goods"
Tho evidence upon which the
charges are based is contained in an
advertisement appearing in n tennis
publication of national circulation.
Richards, who is not yet seven
teen years of age, won all of his
six national championship titles
within the last seven months. He is
considered the most prominent
American Tennis player developed
since the days when Maurice e. Nc
Loughlin, the California super-star,
attained a court prominence which
eliminated with his sensational VIC
tories over Anthony Wilding and
Norman Brookes in the Davis cup
matches at Forest Hills, \. j., in
August, 1915.
