ABSTRACT OF U. s.
 NOTE ON JAPANESE
 OCCUPATION GIVEN
By Associated Pres.


 Tokio, August 3.-The Asahi publishes garding Japanese occupation of territory, as follows:
 First-America approves Japans deci- sion to evacuate Transbaikalia.
 Second--As regards continued occupa- tion of the vladivostok region, she re- serves expression of her view, owing to the absence of sufficient information on conditions there upon which to form an opinion.
 Third-America fails to understand the reason for Japan's occupation of Saghs- len, which has no connection whatever with the Siberian mainland or incidents like the Nikolaievsk massacre occurring there.
 Commenting on the note, the Asahl, reflecting the views apparently obtaining among the Japanese generally, thinks America misunderstands the Siperlah geographical divisions and assumes Sag halen Island is a distinct district, where- as the island really is part or the SaghaIen administrative region with gubernatorial seat at Nikolaievsk.
 NERVOUSNESS INCREASES
 Special dispatches from the United States describing the recent conference held at the American state department between Secretary of State Colby, Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador to the United States; Roland Morris American ambassador to Japan, and Sir Billsby Francis Alstrom, the British minister to China, at which the general situation in the Far East was discussed and the suggestion in some of the dls- patches that Great Britain is showing signs of joining the United States in her Far Eastern policy, have served to in crease the nervousness here over Jap anese-American relations.
 Leading newspapers devote lengthy editorials to discussion of the situation and generally demand that the Japanese people show an unbroken front. The Nichi Nichi thinks the trouble with Japan's diplomacy lies in the fact that the authorities are excessively timid and overconsiderate of the feelings of other countries"
 They should take resolute action on their own responsibility the newspaper says.
 Some Americans, adds the Nichi Nchi, interpret occupation of Saghalin as a qualification of territorial ambition, but if any Japanese are harboring such am- bitions they are merely old-fashioned im- perialists Even if such men exists. it asserts, it is no cause for concern, be- cause the mi1itarists who once threat ened to control the foreign policy are now influenced by public opinion.
 The Hochi Shimbun declares the coun- try should not belittle the importance of the American communication regard ing Japanese occupation, which the news paper considers virtually a protest
 s'Japan's vacillating diplomacy" it as serts, "has often brought contempt on Japan. particularly with regard to America"

Shrines of Imperial Splendor

From Three Palaces" by J. o. P.
 Bland, in Asia.
 To me, after revisiting the east after an absence of ten years it seems as if all it's splendid past, and all it's present discontent, were recorded and symbolized in the imperial palaces of Picking, Seoul and Tokyo. Of one race are they. these three. but each is beau itful, with a distinctive beauty of it's own. Stately and splendid, with the nightly of great simple things each tells it's own tale. that he who runs may read. of creeds and civilizations that have passed. like shadows on a wall Silent and secluded, wrapped in their garments of departed greatness, they stand. to the outward eye stead fast and unchanged. looking out on troubled world of unfamiliar things and alien ways. Ten years ago all three were the habitations of Emper- ors. sacred spots. from whose mys- terious depths issued the edicts. whereat men trembled and obeyed Today the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the Morning Calm have gone their ways. to join the mournful com pany of kings in exile. Only his ma jesty of Tokio remains, a dim, mys terious figure in the medieval seclu- sion of Chiyoda. a picturesque sur vival of old Japan. like an idol in shrine. sort of living Buddha. in the great new city throbbing with ma chinery.

CAVITY AND MITCHELL
RIDICULE CHARGES

"Gavvy" Cravath, manager of the
Phillies, and Fred Mitchell, manager of
the Cubs, ridicule the charges that last
Tuesdays game was fixed for the Phils
to win. In New York today Cravath
said:
'Rumors that there was anything
wrong with that game are laughable.
Lee Meadows was In fine form that day
and the Cubs never had a chance to
win. We didn't hit Alexander much
either, making eight or nine scattered
hits.
1T is ridiculous to think for mo-
ment that a fellow Of Alexander's cali
Der could be 'fixed' by gamblers. The
fact that he worked out of turn means
nothing but this That he will draw
down a substantial bonus il he can
win twenty five games this season and.
as he has already won more than
twenty. he Is pitching as often as Fred
Mitchell will let him."
~ know nothing whatever about this
report except what have heard from
the newspapers" said Manager Mitch
ell, Of the Cubs.
III pitched Alexander the day in
question because ] wanted to win the
game. Meadows was pitching for Phil
adelphia, and it takes good man to
beat him. / understand the charge
came originally from Detroit fan
who did not sign his name to the let
ter. Il seems to me that II there was
anything in the charges, or he believed
there was anything in them, he woult
not have neglected to put down his
name'

not his ordinary turn. Mitchell is
quoted as saying:

wanted to win that game badly"
The tips" on the alleged fixing
Of the game came from Cincinnati to
men in Chicago and Detroit, accord
ing to the published charges. Poor
support, 1t Is declared. gave Philadel-
phia two runs off Alexander in the
second inning.
Wheat tripled In the second, scoring
Lebourveau and Miller, who got
through on a hot single past First
ond Baseman Herzog. A home run In
the ninth scored the other run. This
was made off Carter who pitched the
ninth inning after Twombly had pinch
hit for "Aleck" in the eighth.
"A letter from an unnamed fan in
Detroit accompanied the charges, In
which he said he witnessed heavy bet
ting In hotel lobbies there.
The published charges contain re
port that Cincinnati gambler sent
SIC, 900 to q Chicago race track book
maker, telling him to "bet any par,
Of it" on Philadelphia to win and to
accept any price" The bookmaker
it was asserted, found that in baseball
gambling circles the odds had changed
from 2 to 1 on Chicago the morning OF
the day the game was played to to
3 favoring Philadelphia within a few
hours.
Alexander IL quoted as saying he
"never stopped to figure out" why he
was pitched out of his regular turn in
the box.
One switch in the regular Cub batting
line up is pointed out-Barber replacing
Merkle at first, as the former ia left
