REAL TEST OF STRENGTH

Washington, Oct BY decisive
votes the Senate today defeated all OF
the 30 textual amendments offered by
Senator Fall, Republican of New
Mexico and supported b ythe Foreign
Relations Committee majority, intend
ed to eliminate American participant
ion oD the commissions established un
der the treaty, excepting the Reparat
iar. Commission
Mr.. Fall has one more amendment
to provide that the representative OF
the United States en- the Reparation
Commission be subject to instructions
of this government in all matters ex
cepting commerce involving this coun
try. That, too, it is assured, is doom
ed to defeat when reached later in the
reading of the treaty.
The outcome OF this, the first clash
of strength between the opposing for
ces on amendments in the treaty bat
tie, was accepted by the Republican
leaders as forecasting the fate of the
remaining amendments promulgated
by the committee, with the exception
of that of Senator Johnson Of Cali
fornia to equalize the voting power of
Great Britain and the United States
in the League of Nations Assembly.
The Johnson amendment they hope to
sare.
Administration leaders hailed the de-
feat of the Fall amendment as evi-
dence that the majority of the Senat .
would not vote for changes that will
necessitatc recommitting the treaty
to tho principal signatories or the
Paris Conference. Senator Hitchcock
spoke of it as signal victory or
the forces favoring ratification OF the
treaty WITHOUT deadly changes"
On the first test b9tween the OPP
posing sides, which came on the am
endment to take the United States out
OF the commission to fix the Belgian
boundaries, the vote was thirty in
favor of TO filty-eight against. All
OF the middle ground Senators except
Mr., Mclean of Connecticut voted
against the amendment.

SENDS OUT NEW APPEAL
"Irish Republic" Again Requests
Recognition

Paris, Oct 2.-Envoys OF the Irish
Republic" sent today to the Ministries
of the nations represented in Paris a
memorandum again requesting reco-
gnition of the republic. Accompanying
the document was a letter saying that
they had advance information that
Great Britain was planning to force
upon Ireland flimsy, weak and unsat,
isfactory form of home rule"
The letter concludes:
THE reported British home rule
scheme will keep Ireland under the
iron heel of this foreign military
autocracy, 1t will pour salt on an
open wound. 1t will plunge the island
into increased chaos and open revolt.
1t viii please no one in the island,
north or south.
1T is purely a tentative British
scheme to arrest the rapidly growing
trend of a world public opinion,
sympathetic to Ireland, in her fight
for independence along lines laid down
by President Wilson"

occurred in the Hoosac tunnel late
yesterday afternoon in which hand
car laden with railroad employees
jumped the track and the wOrkmen

the walls of the tunnel. 1t was one
of the few accidents of recent years
in the bore which might have resulted
in a large loss of life.
Eight men were on the handcar
coming out of the tunnel after fin
ishng some work inside the hole,
Conductor Thomas Dufresne was in
charge of the crew and Edward
Fitzgerald, foreman of masons in the
tunnel, was riding on the front of
the car. Some obstruction on the
tracks, thought to be stone, caused
the handear to jump the rails while
a freight train was passing All of
the men were roughly hurled about,
Fitzgerald being lodged between the
handcar and the walls of the tunnel
The car stopped in such way that
the journals of the passing freight
kept humping the corner of the
handcar while the men were in per-
ilous positions. Fitzgerald was in
the most dangerous situation and the
continued collisions kept forcing him
against the tunnel wall.
Fitzgerald was taken to the local
hospital where his injuries were
found to consist of broken arm and
severe bruises. Conductor Dufresne's
injury was a broken collar bone. AS
far as known the other siX occupants
of the handcar escaped with slight
injuries resulting from the bruises

ous-Whlte Sox VIII Battle
On Home Grounds Today

Chicago, Oct 3.-Carrying a two
game lead, the Reds today invaded
the home territory of the White Sox
for the third contest Of the world ser
les. This game. many believe virtual
Ily will decide whether the American
leaguers are to be serious contenders
for the championship or face an over
whelming handicap during the re-
mainder of the series.
Probable batting order: Chicago:

second; Weaver, third; Jackson, left;
Felsch, center; Gandil, first; Ris-
berg. short. Schalk, catcher; Kerr,
Cicotte or Faber, pitcher. Cincinnati:

Cincinnati Oct. 2.-The Cincinnati
Reds tightened their grasp on the
worlds series flag. today by defeating
the Chicago White Sox 4 to 2 AS
they also won the opener yesterday
they need but three more games to
laud the series.
Redland Field was again jammed to
the last bit of standing room, but the
crowd this afternoon didn't soar into
the realm of joy as it did in the open
ing game.
The White Sox put up spunkier
fight this afternoon and looked much
better than they did Wednesday.
Claude Williams, Gleason's best left
handler, pitched far better ball than
Slim Sallee in the matter of hits, but
the Chicago southpaw was seized with
an alarming attack of wildness in the
fourth inning, and it was just at this
moment that the Reds flared up and
concentrated their vicious batting at
tack Just long enough to slash over
three runs and win the game.
Sallee. the former New Yorker,
would have found himself in a bad
pickle if it hadn't been for the won
derful support which the Reds gave
him in the pinches. Sal was in
trouble often. The SoX dubbed him
for ten hits, two of them two-baggers,
but every time possible Chicago
run loomed up in the offing, Moran $
lads closed up alright and locked the
way to the plate.
The two runs which decorate Chi
cagos end of the score came uneX-
pectedly in the seventh inning as a
result of an atrociously wild throw by
Earle Neale. the Reds right fielder.
He tried to make toss to second af-
ter little Ray Schalk had singled with
Risberg on first. This untamed peg
waited serenely through second base
and rolled across left field to the tenn
porary fence which bars the stands in
