STAND ON ADRiATlC TANGLE

Washington. Feb. 2S.-Whiie Prea-
dent Wilson was considering today the
latest note of the allied premiers on
the AdriGtic controversy. sharp criti-
cism OF his course in the negotiations
broke cut in the midst of the peace
treaty debate IN the senate.
Not only did the irreeonciliabie op-
ponents Of the treaty. but one OF the
mid reseryationists. Senator Kellogg.
OF Minnesota, Joined In the senate at
tack which occupied a good part Of
the days session. A general defense
of the president was made by SEN
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the ad-
ministration leader.
1t was indicated that Mr.. Wilson
would not long delay his reply to the
allied note, which was said to have
invited the United States to Join in
attempting a settlement acceptable to
both J~ugo-Slavia and Italy. The reply
was expected To go forward early next
week, bat officials were guarded in
their discussion OF its probable con-
tents.
Complications Feared
The senate discussion revolved
around assertions that the disagree
lnent demonstrated conereteiy the
foreign complications which would
follow Americas entrance into the
league of nations and that the presi-
dent was seeking to interfere In the
affairs of other nations without max
ing any effort to learn whether the
people OF this country were behind
lin.
Senator Thomas, democrat, Color
ado, one Of the treaty ir~reconsiiiabies,
went so far as to suggest that the on
~ way out now seems to be a wal IN
which the United States either must
participate or be placed in the posi-
o OF refusing to back up the posi-
tive stand taken on behalf Of the ma
ton by h president.
The whole situation was character
lied by Senator Kellogg as rather
discouraging" to friends OF the treaty.
He declared the Adriatic controversy
was none OF our business and that
the presidents attempt to dictate
a decision was without justification.
Senators Borah. republican of Ida
no. and Brandegee, republican, of
Connecticut, also assailed the position
taken by the executive, the latter gay
ing that although Mr.. Wilson was
presenting to speak with a maximum
Of as TO what the United
States would or would not do, there
was no one who really knew who even
the enate would vote on the jrcpo-
sition involved.

CLEVELAND WON SATURDAYS

Boston Red Sox and the Indians, played on July 19, Stahi was on first and Wag ner on second with Mcconnell at bat when Ball accomplished the play which Is che dream of every fielder in the game Today the stage setting was much the same. Both Kllduff and Miller had sin- gled to center in turn at the beginning. of the fifth inning and were percaed on second and first, respectively, when Pitcher Mitchell came to bat The Brook lyn hurler, who had previously relieved Grimes in the box, drove hot liner high and to the left of second base. Wambs- ganss leaped into the air and came down with the ball clutched in the gloved hand. For the fraction of second he appeared to hesitate and itslooked as though the play would take the usual course of a force out.
 Then Wambsganss realized the golden ielding opportunity that confronted him and before the startled spectators could grasp the play he had sprinted to second and stepping on the canvas bag eliminat- ed Kilduff, who was well on his way to third Miller was tearing down to the midway sack under the belief that the hit was an absolutely safe one, and it was a comparatively easy matter for "Wamby'' to run up thefbase line and, touching the oncoming runner. complete the first triple ever made by one player in the long his- tory of the world series.
 Clevelands offensive opened with an- other play which would have, under any other circumstances. stood out as a fea- ture supreme. With the bases loaded with Indians who had singled in success sion off the slants of Burleigh. Grimes, Right Fielder Elmer Smith of Milan, b., stepped to the plate and, catching one of the Brooklyn twirler's fast sharp break | ing soitballs on the very end of his bat | lifted the sphere up and over the towering screen which tops the right field fence ] clearing the bases and breaking the hearts of the opposing players with a ] four-run lead which the Robins never even threatened to overcome The ball was so hard hit that it not only cleared the screen but continued on it's way until it crashed into the front of house across the street from the park. the root of which was crowded with spectators.
 Not satisfied with this display of bat ting prowess, Iris Speaker must hav ! whispered into the ears of the othe members of the team to go and do like wise, for in the fourth. session, Pitche Jim Bagby, evidently fearing that tn margin of runs was not sufficient, hit an other homer.

Cleveland, Oct 10.-In a baseball game erzpting sensational and thrilling plays far beyond the widest dreams of an imaginative fiction or scenario writer, the Cleveland Americans defeated the Brook lyn Nationals 8 to in the fifth contest of the worlds series here this afternoon. An unassistsd triple play by William Wanbsganss. W native-born son of Cleve- land, and home runs by Elmer Smith and Jim Bagby were a trio of individual feats which formed fiashlight photographs on the brains of the fans which no future diamond battle can erase.
 The victory broke the tie existing be- tween the pennant winners of the two major leagues and tonight Cleveland is confident that the first American league remnant ever won by this city will be 7vershadowed by the great glory of the worlds series banner to be flung to the breeze next spring.
 The. Brooklyn Robins. crushed by the .vo catastrophes of Saturday and today, arc cltnging desperately to the hope that sherod Smith may be able to check the savage batting onslaught of the Indians, put the home team and fans declare that ncthirg can stop the rush of the Cleve- lsnders. now that they have solved the mystery of the Flatbush hurling staff.
 The calibre of the play may be gather n from the fact that two worlds records we're established during the hectic hour ard forty-nine minutes in whi h the tribe # Speaker tore great handftls of plu- rare from the stunned and ne bless Rob- ms Never before In tlle history of the worlds series had a triple play been nade by one player, and so seldom has his baseball feat been accomplished in he history of either maior or minor Al s.. amiliar to thousands of fans.
 home run with the bases full is also an innovation in the modern history of he super-serics, yet both these records seer made at League park here this af- iernoon with a second home run, four double rlays and a score of other field Hg ard hating features which would have been acclaimed as thrilling during ihe course of a normal world series con. fiict
 There was something uncannily local about Wambsganss' triple play. The In- dians' second baseman was born in Cleve- land in 1894 and after learning the fun damentals of the national game at Con- cordia college, entered the professional baseball ranks After a comparatively short period of minor league experience with the Cedar Rapids club of the Centra association. he came to the local team ir l9i4 and has since been a fixture witf the Indians
 That native-born ball player of Cleve land should have made such an unusua and infreduent play is a coincidence. bu that a previous similar play should have been made in the same park eleven year ago savers of something beyond cooinci dence.r ..-
