Change of Management Fails to
Arouse the Tagging Spirits
Of TaiIendcrs.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 9.-Un-
der the management o: Charles
(Cactus) Cravath, who succeeded
John Wesley Coombs yesterday,
the Phillies showed the same ia
cility in losing as they have for
the last six weeks and the Cubs
exhibited the same agility in win
ming under Manager Mitchell as
they had under Presideu, Mitchell.
Score, 5 to 4, in favor of the Cubs.
The tailenders made the score i
little closer than they have been
accustomed to doing, but that was
partly due to a home run by Luz
derus which would have been a
pop fly on any other park in either
big league, and to a muff by Mer-
kle, which accounted for the run
that nearly tied the score in the
eighth.
Homer Does Business,
Hendrix, who stabbed the whole
way against Smith, made a real
home run into the LEFT field bleach
ers in the seventh, and that prov
ed the winning tally Hendrix had
the better of the argument at all
times and was breezing along Soft
avenue until the eighth, when he
weakened a bit and the Pills hop
ped on him for three runs with a
little help.
Smiths support did not compare
with that given Hendrix. The Cubs
counted three runs in the third on
pair of singles and were handed

cesSive errors.
Action in Third.
There was nothing stirring either
way until two Cubs were out in
the third. Smith then lost control
and passed Flack and Hollocher.
Magee tore off a single, scoring
Flack and driving Holly to third.
Lee stole second and Merkle gave
both of them a ride home on a
blow to left which filtered through

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-President
Wilson'S message to the senate today,
accompanying the Franco-American
treaty follows.
sSsehtlefasfl df sthe senate: t5
take pleasure III laying before YOU
the object Of which is to secure that
republic OF the immediate aid OF the
United States OF America in case OF
any unprovoked movement of aggres-
sion against her on the part of Ger
many I earnestly hope that this treaty
will meet with your cordial approval
and will receive an early ratification
at your hands along with the treaty of
peace with Germany. Now that you
have had an opportunity to examine
the great document | presented to you
two weeks ago, it seems opportune to
lay before you this treaty which is
meant to be in effect part of it.
1T was signed on the same day with
the treaty of peace and is intended as a
temporary supplement to it. 1t is be-
lieved this the treaty of peace with
Germany itself provides adequate pro-
lection to France against aggression
from her recent enemy on the cast:
but the years Immediately ahead of us
contain many incalcuable possibilities.

1.-THE object of the special treaty with
France which / now submit to you is to
provide for immediate military assist
ance to France by the United States
in case of any unprovoked movement Of
aggression against her by Germany
without waiting for the advice Of the
council of the league of nations that
such action be taken. 1t is to be an
arrangement, not Independent of the

ut is, therefore, expressly provided

that the proyisions OF the covenant of
the league afford her sufficient pro-
lection.
II was moved to sign this treaty by
considerations which will, I hope, seem
as persuasive and as irresistible to you
as, they seemed to me. We are bound
toe France by ties of friendship which
we have always regarded and shall al
ways regard, as peculiarly sacred. She
assisted us to win our freedom as a
nation. 1t is seriously to be doubted
whether we could have won 1t without
her gallant and timely aid We have
recently had the privilege Of assisting
in driving enemies, who were also enc
mics of the world, from her soil, but
that does not pay our debt to her.
Nothing can pay such debt. She now
desires that we should promise to lend
our great force to keep her safe against
the power she has had most reason to
fears. Another great nation volunteers
the same promise. 1t is one of the
fine reversals of history that that other
nation should be the very power from
whom France fought to set us free.
"A new day has dawned. Old antag-
onisms are forgotten. The common
cause Of freedom and enlightenment
has created new comradeships and
new perception Of what it is wise
and necessary for great nations to do
to free the world of intolerable fear
Two governments who wish to be mem
bers Of the league Of nations ask leave
of the council of the league to be per-
mitted to go to the assistance of a
friend whose situation has been found
to be one of peculiar peril, without
awaiting the advice of the league TO
act.
ut is by taking such pledges as this
that we prove ourselves faithful to
the utmest to the high obligations Of
gratitude and tested friendship Such
an act as this seems to me one OF
the proofs that we are a people that
sees the true heart of duty and prefers
honor to its own separate course OF
peace.

Submission of the treaty came after
sharp criticism by senate Republicans
who for several days had openly charged
on the senate floor that in falling to
present the draft Of the pact along with
the treaty of Versailles, the president
had violated one of the articles of the
document, The president did not fol-
low his usual custom Of presenting the
treaty In person. He sent it to the
capitol by special messenger along with
a message explaining its object
The president told the senate the r,tr-
pose OF the treaty was to provide as

should be taken and explained that it
