Paris, May 20.-Strong work by the
French foreign office may prevent
China signing the peace treaty with q
reservation regarding the Shantung dis
position as Wellington Koo had intend
ed to. French foreign office official
has advised the Chinese peace delega-
ton that it must not attempt to make
reservation regarding Shantung when
the time comes to affix signatures to the
treaty, as such action would gravely
imperll China's present position with the
allied and associated powers. The
Chinese reply was that, whereas China
as belligerent should sign peace with
Germany. instead, all mention regard
ing Chinese territory is with Japan
and China is entirely excluded from
mention.
Jap Arms Used by india Rebels.
Following the discovery that revolu
tionists in India are using arms and
ammunition manufactured in japan, I
understand that France, Great Britain
and Japan entered tentative three
cornered agreement regarding the
spheres Of Influence for exploitation in
China upon Japan's agreement to give
no more aid to the revolving natives Of
India.

BASE BALL DOOMS
FREAK DELIVERIES
Joint Rules Committee to
LegisIate Against Artificial
Aids for Pitchers.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

That artificial deliveries, beyond
question unpopular with the great
mass of base bail fans finally Will
he legislated out of existence. seems
likely. in view of the move made
yesterday for the much-needed re-
form. According to dispatch from
Chicago. President Johnson of the
American League has requested Aug
ust Hermann, chairman of the ma
tional commission. and John Heydler.
call a joint meeting of the rules COM
mfttee of the two leagues to take
action in regard to the abolition OF
the spit ball, shine bali and other
freak pitching deliveries.
Johnson expresses himself as firmly
of the opinion that these deliveries
should be legislated out of existence
and as Heydler and a large majority
of the magnates are in accord on the
subject there is little doubt that
action will be taken in the present
off season to safeguard the game by
curbing pitchers who make use OF
artificial aids. Abuse of the wide
latitude granted hurlers reached Its
peak in the past season. when nearly
every club had a couple of fingers
trying with more or less success to
battle opposing batsmen by illegal
means. The batting averages showed
the National League to have been the
greatest sufferer, the hitting in the
senior circuit being so much lighter
than in recent years that the cham
pion batsman, Eddie Roush. won his
crown with the low mark of 800.

Would Handicap Some Stars.

Doing away with the splitter. sinner
and other forms of preparing the ball
to cause it to take weird hops and
shoots would work severe handicap
on the effectiveness of a number of
pitchers-Hod Eller of the Reds and
instance-bu the powers that be rec
ognize that the best interests of the
game as a whole demand that some
thing be done to lessen the superior
ity of the pitchers over the batsmen.
and the fact that number of individ-
uals will be temporarily handicapped
is not expected to deter them.
That the reform proposed is prac-
tically sure of being enacted is ap-
parent from the fact tllt the Ameri-
can League magnateS almost without
exception have declared in favor Of it,
while at least five of the National
League clubs already have definitely
gone on record as anxious to see such
a change brought about. These clubs
are the Giants. Phillies, Braves, Dodg
ers and Pirates. with the likelihood
that the Cubs also will be aligned.
the fence because Bill Doak, their ace,
is spit ball hurler. and the Reds may
be expected to oppose the reform to
protect the effectiveness Of Eller, who
was not only a star in the regular
season. but won two games for them
in the world series.
An effort may be made to exempt
those pitchers now in the leagues who
use artificial deliveries and prohibit
entrance of any more of that ilk, so
that in the course of a few years none
would be left who follow the objec-
tionahle practice, but this is unlikely,
because If the pitchers now doctoring
certain clubs will have an advantage
over others.

Something of what northern newspa-

ball and the catcher could have
something concealed in his big mitt
by which the ball could be fiX~d up.
Or the nrst time a bail was hit to an
intie.der or outfielder any one of them
might be able to do something to the
ball that would enable a pitcher to
set freak results.
In order TO make any rule of the
kind effective it might be necessary
to adopt a search and seizure law,
by which an umpire would have to
examine the glove and uniform of
every player before taking the field
in every inning and give him the au-
thority to confiscate any part of the
players uniform that was found to
be contraband. That would entail

THREE BIC GAMES
LISTED TOMORROW
Penn-Penn State, Dartmouth
Colgate and Princeton
w. Va, Tits Stand Out.
BY ii. e. BYRD.

Three games stand out as the best
tomorrow These are in the order of
their Importance Dartmouth and
Colgate. Pennsylvania and Penn State
and Princeton and West Virginia. All
three contests should offer splendid
foot ball. as the six teams involved
seem to stand out as the best in the
,, east.
Dartmouth and Colgate are both
indicated. Each has won from
strong opponents. Dartmouth num-
berinS among it's victims Cornell and
Penn State, and Colgate having wal
loped Cornell, Brown and Princeton.
Many followers of the game believe
that Dartmouth should win from the
New Workers, but those who know
Larry Bankhart and his system of
running the Colgate team feel sure
that he knew what he was doing
when he allowed the scheduling of
Dartmouth the week following the
game with Princeton. Both teams are
trying, because each recognizes that
its opportunity for foot ball suprem-
acy this season depends on the result.
If Colgate wins it will stand at least
fine chance for the championship,
mia, which seems to be the only other
eleven strong enough to stop it, I'M
less it be Dartmouth.
Pennsylvania State appears at Phil
adelphia in the first game between
the two big Pennsylvania institutions
since the disruption of relationships
in 1916 because of a protest regarding
the ineligibility of Pennsylvania
player. Penn State has the best ma
terial that has graced its gridiron for
many years, while Pennsylvania at
present vies with Colgate and Dart
mouth for having the most powerful
gridiron combination. Penn State
undoubtedly has worked the entire
season with the Pennsylvania game
as it's main objective. because there is
no doubt that it would rather win
from the Quakers than from any
other team on its schedule.
The West Virginia game
| means. nothing SO far as the foot ball
championship is concerned, both hav-
ing been defeated, the former by Col
gate and the latter by Pittsburgh.
However, West Virginia has hopes of
it, and the Tigers expect to come
back strong against what is recog-
nized as one of the strong teams of
the country. following their defeat
by Colgate last week. While no title
is at stake, there is no doubt that
just as SOOu IOOt pail Will De shown

How to Do II Is Puzzle.

The tough part of the program-one
that will cause the magnates a lot of
study-is how to put the prohibition
rule in effect Many suggestions have
been made, including one by Bill Dom
'ovan, former star hurier}of the Tigers,
who urges that they not be allowed
to rub the balls on the uniforms or
thrust their hands into their pockets;
that the windup be abolished, and that
the pitchers should be compelled to
work without gloves.
That these measures would not nee
essarily be effective, however, is
pointed out by President Veeck of the
Cubs. who cites the fact that legisla-
ton that will accomplish it's purpose
is going to prove difficult to evolve.

many people. including club owners
and umpires," says Veeck. and none
Of them even claimed to have a meth
cd by which freak deliveries can be
fstcpped absolutely. There are plenty
of ways to curb the thing. but unless
an effective remedy is found it would
work more harm than good. probably
because it would be an injustice to
enforce a rule that would handicap
some pitchers and benefit others who
might find a way to beat it.
