Hill League Starts
on Its Sixth Week
Standing of the Clubs

The Allison Hill Baseball League
Will begin its sixth week with the
Reading Railway team in the lead
for the honors. Galahad. Rosewood
and st. Mary's are closely punched
for second place. Rosewood was the
first team to be able to put the
skics under the fast moving railroad
aggregation.
Tonight c. A. Runk will umpire.
The two sets of bleachers will ac-
commodate $50 persons. With the
other smaller bleachers, over 1,100
persons can watch the games from
comfortable seat.
A meeting of the board of di-
rectors will be held at the usual
place tonight at the close of the
contest. 1t will be the first meet
ing held since the opening of the
season.
The largest crowds in the history
of the game are attending the con-
tests. The stands are filled and the
field around the diamond is circled
with enthusiasts.
Rumor has it that Borax Bill will
again be on the grounds tonight
in an effort to clinch an agreement
to secure the services of Silent
WIZ Hoerner.

THUNDERSTORM
TAKES ANOTHER
Babe" Alcorn Gives but Four
Hits to Lebanon Steel
Foundry Team

The Hummelstown Fire Company
again trimmed Lebanon Steel Foun-
dry's team on Saturday afternoon, 10
to 8. Hummelstown was never in
danger of their opponents and with
'Babe"AlcorT pitching air tight ball
they held them to four hits. Bur-
ridge and Harrison robbed the Leba-
non players of what looked like posi-
tive hits. Manager Strickler has
fast bunch of ball players and prom
ises to give his visiting teams a good
run before the season is over.
Hassler, Humm elstown's old
southpaw, better known as Bonnie"
among the fans, arrived from over
seas and was looking his old and
new players over at Saturday after
moons game. Swartz, who has been
away from baseball for the last
two years, was there in uniform and
played first base in the last four
innings. He showed up we'll: his
clever base running took the eyes of
all who never saw him before and
he looks like the same old veteran.
Hummelstown will play Highspire
next Saturday afternoon at Highspire
and the following Saturday Carlisle
A. c. at Hummelstown and or the
last Saturday of the month will play
the Mannheim team who were the
champions of Lancaster county,

Stanton, lasted only ten seconds. He
was knocked out from a right-hand
blow behind the ear.
Stanton, who boxed two days at
Jack Dempseys camp, made two or
three passes at Willard and the
champion let fly with a highlander.
After taking the punch, Stanton
staggered back, then stiffened and
would have tum bled to the canvas If
Willard had not caught him.
Ray o. Archer, business manager
for the champion, returned yesterday
from New York, but was reticent on
what he had done in regard to OBJ
tanning new sparring partners. He
said he had made tentative arrange
ments with two heavyweights, but
would not announce their names un-
til they had accepted the terms.
Dempsey resumed his training yes
terday after a tive-day layoff and
displayed unusual dash and sped. He
boxed four rounds, two each with
Sergeant Bill Tate and the Jamaica
Kid. Both connected with Demp-
sey frequently.
Willard got SO cents admission to
his camp yesterday, while Dempsey
continued to collect 25 cents.

Whether Reservations Reserve
lFrom The New York Trlbunel

In an editorial article in The Inde-
pendent Or. Talcot Williams, OF The
School Of Journalism, seeks to establish
that reservations 10 a treaty do not re-
serve-that is 10 say. that The senate
cannot "alter or decide the meaning
OF the instrument by action at the time
it ratifles the agreement" The conten-
tlon is that any reservations TO the
treaty Of Versailles Will be mere fulfill
tics.
The authorities DR. Williams relies
on are the Diamond Rings" case.
wherein the Supreme Court decided
that the McEnery resolution adopted
after the Spanish treaty was ratified,
but not a part Of the act OF ratification.
was without legal significance, and that
"the meaning OF a treaty cannot be
controlled by subsequent explanations
OF some OF those who voted for It,"
Mr. Wickersham FIRST brought this
point forward in a letter TO The Trib-
une. but examination showed that the
decision did not apply 70 the issue
now before the country The McEnery
resolution was not part OF the pact OF
ratification. It is not now purposed
that the Senate shall Internationally
ratify and then. as an independent act
interpret the language Of the treaty.
Dr. Williams also cites the Stock
bridge Indian treaty" with respect 70
which the Senate adopted a proviso
which was not made part Of the treaty.
which was not proclaimed by the
President. Passing over the question
that an agreement with an Indian tribe
Is not treaty IN an internatioal sense,
It is to be observed that the Supreme
Court when II disregarded the proviso
said there was no evidence that it had
received the approval Of the President.
No such defect viii attach to the Yer
sailles treaty. If there are reservations,
the President, when he files the intru-
ment OF ratification al Paris must send
the ratifying resolution as passed
The third case mentioned by Dr.
Williams Is The controversy over the
Alagon grant; While the treaty for
the cession Of Florida was pending the
King Of Spain made a grant Of 100000
acres Of land. The President refused
10 recognize the grant because made
during negotiations. The Senate agreed
with the President and refused TO rat
ify; the treaty was returned to spain
and the King cancelled the grant. It
is diflcult 20 see how this case has
even a remote bearing on the present
controversy.
That the President may pigeonhole a
treaty when the form Of ratification
does not please him Is not open to chal-
lenge, and that foreign nation may
refuse to exchange ratifcataions II res
ervations do not please it is also not
open to challenge. indeed, any nation.
with or without reason, may reject the
Versailles treaty up to the moment OF
the exchange OF rati1cations. The
document signed az Paris is in law not
an agreement, but merely a draft Of
an agreement.
Reservations by the Senate do not
