.BORAH PROPOSAL
FAVORED IN JAPAN
Tripartite Agreement to Linn

by Press.

TOXIC, December 20-The Japanese
press is manHesting great interest in
the proposal of Senator Borah of Idaho
for tripartite naval agreement under
which the United States, Great Britain
and Japan would pledge themselves to
limitation of naval ornaments. In gen.
eral the newspapers favor the idea, but
regard Japan's present program as a
legitimate one.

REPORT MAY REJECT
GREAT TFALLSPLAN
Experts Expected to Find
Power Utilization Possible,
But Cost Prohibitive.

An adverse report by United States
Army engineers on the economic
feasibility of harnessing Great Falls
would cause little surprise in Wash
ington's civil engineering fraternity.
and, in fact. is anticipated in some
quarters. it was indicated today.
The report. which is being prepared
under the direction of Mai. NJ. c. Ty-
ler, is expected to be completed by
the middle OF the week. 1t will be
submitted to the Federal Power Com
mi ssion. of which the Secretary of
War is chairman.
Engineers who have made private
investigations of the Great Falls
project agree that it is practicable
from an engineering standpoint. but
believe the cost will prove prohibitive.
Views OF Consulting Engineer.
Francis II. Weller. consulting engi-
neer. who made an exhaustive survey
of the situation and addressed the
Cosmos Club on the subject in 1914,
today stated he would not be sur
prised if the Army engineers made an
unfavorable report.
He said the Great Fails report made
by Col. Langftt in 1919 contemplated
an expenditure of $15.00o,000. but that
the Army engineer had not provided
for certain expeditures which would
have been necessary for the trans
mission and distribution Of the power
developed. which would have in
creased the total cost of the project
to about $24.000.000.
IF the cost had been $24.000.o00 in
1913 it easily would be double that
amount today said MIR. Weller.
"The minimum flow of the river is so
small at times that a steam auxiliary
plant would be required which, Of
course, means a double investment"
Conslders Interest Charges.
When interest charges on the in
vestment are figured the cost of de-
veloping Great Falls is shown to be
greater than would be the cost Of
generating the same amount of power
with steam plant.
Mr.. Weller stated tl,ot the construc-
ton of dam across the river, as
proposed by Col. Langfitt, would en-
tail property losses by flooding. which
probably would amount to two or
three million dollars instead of the
ne-million- dollar damage estimate of
the Army engineer. The area flooded,
he said. would include section Of
the Chesa peake and Ohio canal and
the Washington Railway and Elect ric
Company's Cabin John bridge line

TWO SQUADS WORK
At FRANKLIN FIELD
First Varsity Scores Three
Touchdowns on Second in
First Scrimmage

Coach Heisman, Of the University OF
Pennsylvania football squad, sent the
first and second teams through their
first hard scrimmage yesterday after
noon at Franklin Field. The work ap.
peared to be satisfactory to all WHO Wit
messed the first day at home.
The first team, Of course, was sub I.
ject to changes, with Hopper and
Grave, ends; Ward and Copeland,
tackles; Thomas and Lehman, guards ;
Crawford. center; Miller, quarterback ;
Straus, Harvey and Whitehill, backs.
Three touchdowns were scored by the
Varsity. Grave, on a received forward
pass; Straus, on line plunge, and
Harvey, on a run, accounted for the
scoring.
Archer, former student Of West
Virginia, was on the field, but not in
uniform. He will not be eligible this
fall.
Students were sadly disappointed in
their ambition to see the future Quaker
eleven take its first work out as spec
tators were barred from the field, and
even some veteran Penn football play
ers had difficulty making their way to
the sidelines. Coach Heisman has de-
cided that there shall be no interrup-
tion in his task of developing an eleven.
An exception was made Of old players.
however, and nearly a score of former
stars were on hand, including Bert
Bell, Heinie Miller, Lud Wray and Lou
Little, Of the 1919 eleven.

.HE|N|E GROH OUT
OF REDS LINEUP
Star Third Baseman Of Worlds
: Champions Has Indigestion.
keenan, to Pitch

The worries of Pat Moran, boss of the
worlds champion Reds, were further
increased this morning when he was
notified by the club physician that his
Cinchy Reds would be compelled to play
the second game against our Phils this
afternoon without the services OF
Heinie Groh.
The star third baseman of the cham
pious was taken Ill last evening with a
bad attack Of stomach trouble and while
his illness is far from being critical, il
was deemed best to give him at. least one
day of rest.
Jimmie Keenan,, the diminutive south =
paw from the Terre Haute club Of the
Three-l League, will have a real op-
portunity to demonstrate to the local
fans that he has the ability TO negotiate
the full distance of nine innings. He
has been nominated by Gavvy Cravath
to start against the Reds and register
victory No. 2 and maintain a percentage
OF 1000 for the week. Jimmy pitched
three innings against the Pirates last
week and made very favorable i'm
preston.
Our Phils broke their losing streak
OF six straight games yesterday by put
ting big crimp in the pennant chances
OF Pats Reds, when, with Eppa Rixey
on the pitching peak, the worlds cham
pions were turned back and beaten,
The lanky lefthander was invincible
and held the invaders to FIVE hits, two
OF which came in the ninth after two
men had been retired. Rixey was also
the big noise with the stick. In the
tour of the bases when he sent the ball
to deep left center and came through
with single over second in the seventh.
Hod Eller, who was on the mound
for the Reds, was not hit hard. but the
hits were productive. Johnny Rawlings
had pair of doubles and "Irish"
Muesel smashed three bagger to left
center in the sixth.
Barring accident, or an entirely un-
expected slump. the Robins look good
to capture the pennant of the National
League and take part In the worlds
series; The following figures give the
situation in n nutshell:
Brooklyn has fourteen games to play,
and by winning seven and losing seven,
a liberal estimate as to defeats. the
season ninety victories and sixty four
defeats, giving them percentage Of
.584.
Cincinnati has twenty one games yet
to play, and by winning sixteen and
losing five the Reds record at the close
would be ninety victories and sixty
three defeats and percentage of .5SS.
The Giants have eighteen games to
play, and by winning fourteen games
and losing four their record would be
ninety victories and sixty four defeats,
with a percentage of .5S4.
Thus by giving the Reds and Giants
the highest probable number Of victo-
ries. and conceding the Dodgers only an
wen break in their fourteen games,
here would be tie. If the Dodgers
we're to win eight and lose six, their
ecord at the close would be ninety one
victories and sixty three defeats. for
percentage of sol.

OF gossip as to the probable meeting II
the Frenchman with Champion Jack
to the four winds, as they say. Car
pentier's manager, Deschamps, is willy
fellow. He says that Georges is here
this time for the purpose Of honest to-
goodness boxing, all Of which means
that the tickle fan will forget about the
well known "raz."
OF course, much depends on the re-
| suit Of Carpentier's meeting with Bat
Ting Levinsky, local light heavyweight,
at Ebbets Field. Brooklyn, October II.
whether the Frerchman will be war
ranted a clash for the worlds title.
Taking for granted that he will make
good against the Battler, here's the
latest dope on the chances Of Car
pentier Dempsey bout:
Though the secret understanding be-
tween Jack Kearns and Francois Des-
champs has been that the worlds cham
pionship battle was not to be held be-
fore July 4, 1921, the big bout may take
place before then. Indications point to
the battle of the century" being staged
| as early as November or December.
| The frequent conferences between Will
liam A. Brady, who has Carpenter
under contract, and Tex Rickard, who
has like hold on Dempsey, would lead
many to think an agreement has already
been reached and the big bout will be
staged within few months.
No announcement of any kind is
likely to be Forthcoming until after the
arrival Of g. b. Cochrane, the British
promoter. who is expected here early In
October. Though Cochrane recently
announced that he had severed all con l.
nections with boxing, it is understood
! that he retain a private IL not public
| interest in the big match. Brady and
/ Cochrane are partners in numerous the
atrical ventures and joined forces in the
signing up Of Carpenter, Brady having
full call on Carpenters services for q
Dempsey bout as far as America is con-
| cerned.
! Brady last week said. while under
/ his contract with Carpenter the French
champion was bound not to talk, discuss
or arrange any match in America with :
out Brady's consent, he was willing Il
release Carpenter from his obligations
for sufficient financial Inducements. As
Cochrane, Brady and Richard entered
! into one coalition wherein it was tenta :
! lively arranged to hold the Dempsey
Carpenter match in Madison Square
Garden, New York, on November 7,
provided Carpenter should call off his
! bout with Levinsky, there is no reason
to believe that Brady and Rickard will
not again pool interests and arrange to
stage the bout in New York in Novem
ber or December.

johnson later fed to Europe. for
feiting his $4,000 bonds, and from
then until a few weeks ago, when he
surrendered on the Lower California
border, he was fugitive from justice.
