! WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Efforts by
Japan to control a cable across the
Pacific ocean between the United
States and Japan came to light here
today.
A proposal was made some time
ago with the approval Of the mikado's
government that the United States
and Japan cooperate in building
across the Pacific. The plan was re-
jected because Of the insistence OF
Japan the cable be controlled by a
Japanese company
This proposal was considered sig
nificant here because of the possi-
bility of the Japanese delegation
bringing up the plan again at the
preliminary meeting here Friday OF
the five great powers in connection
with the communications conference
Should the proposal again be
broached it is expected Japan will
modify the plan with view of meet
ing objections OF the United States
The building Of the cables was pro
posed to the state department by an
emnissary of Japanese capitalists.
The plan was sponsored by the Japa-
nese embassy in the name Of the
Toxic government. It was proposed
the group of Japanese capitalists and
either the United States government
|or American capitalists build the
cable in conjunction. The cable
would ftcilitate commercial relations
and better diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries, It was
argued.
The state department pointed out
that the Japanese government forbids
the landing Of any foreign cable oon
Japanese shores, and replied that the
American government could not al
low the landing of the proposed cable
on American soil if it were controlled
by foreign interests

Three Men Injured Severely During
Riot on Streets OF Leaven-

Several Hours.

I,EAyENWORTH, Kan, Oct. g.
Threa men were injured severely IN
a fight between about 300 white and
negro soldiers stationed at Fort
|Leavenworth. ..
At the army hospital it was said
that the injured-two white soldiers
and one negro trooper-would re-
cover. ,
The fight is said to have started
when a negro soldier pushed a white
one off the sidewalk of a downtown
street. Later the disturbance be-
came general and continued until
ahout, 3 O'Clock In the morning. White
soldiers raided a pool hall and OBJ
ltained billiard cues with which to
car,y on the fight. The civilian
nolice were unable to handle the
situation and the disturbance was
NOT uuelled until the provost guard
YVES summoned from Fort Leaven-
wcrth. The guard, heavily armed,
formed chain across the street and
sorc.ed the white soldiers on one side
and the negroes on the other.
The white soldiers involved, mill
tary authorities said, are a part Of
the regular garrison al the fort. The
negroes are members of service
battalion attached to the general
service schools.
Fear of repetition Of the disturb
ance was expressed by civilian Off
.ciass. Military authorities, however
SAID precautions were being taken
and promised that the provost guard
would be ON duty to stop any further
disorders

the gentlemen from Cleveland were

To get back to the point, however,
cricket's the game for scoring. The

enthuse about in row OF 900 600 600

one hundred runs in single after

There is one striking difference

NEW YORK, Dot. 6.-Thirteen out
of the last sixteen series have gone
to the team winning the first game.
Thus Uncle Wilbert Robinson must
go against custom, tradition and pre-
cedent if Brooklyn hopes to defeat
Cleveland in the present world series.
While battery selections were
shrouded in the usual abr Of mystery
managerial strategy to beat the
gamblers-it seemed a safe bet this
morning Robinson would call Bur,
leigh Grimes, while Speaker would
rely on Sergeant Jim Bagby to keep
the Indian tribe on the war path.
Breaks, breaks-they'r one thing
| a manager cannot hgure," Miller
Higgins, the little manager Of the
Yankees, said one Afternoon last
summer.
i No doubt Uncle Robby viii second
the motion.
He couldn't outhgure the breaks
against him yesterday and Brooklyn
lost the opening game.
1t was nothing more than a wind
and a Pole-Stan Coveleskie-that at
did It.
The "big break" that decided the
game came in the second inning.
Ed Konetchy, figured a Gibraltar
on first base, lost a ball in the sun
and wind and then heaved wildly,
letting the first Cleveland run trickle
across the plate.
Richard Maruuard, veteran Of Ave
historic classics, started out like a
fresh fall plant, but the "break" up
set him. He seemed to lose some OF the
kick out Of his trusty left wing and
before he had come down to earth.
Steve O'Neill and Company had
dumped over three runs.
With the exception OK two innings.
Coveleskie might have breezed
through with team of infirm grand
fathers. But whenever he got in
trouble the brilliant outfield, with
Speaker at the helm and an impreg-
nable infield, cut the throat Of all
Brooklyn chances.
The game could be summarized in
the words of Ping Bodie last sum-
mer:
when that Coveleskie is right
they amt nobody gonna beat i'm"
Continued cold weather, with Its
cooling effect on the ardor Of the
fans, was promised for today.
However, a capacity crowd was
assured by the management which

Result of One Error.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.--BasebaQ OF
the nth degree greeted the Brooklyn
Dodgers yesterday in the first game
Of the world series.
Pitching, fielding and concen-
trated attack at just the right spot
of weakness in the Brooklyn defense
gave Iris Speaker and his Cleveland
Indians the victory.
The downfall Of the Dodgers can be-
traced directly to the only error OF
the game-an error that began with
Konetchy's misiudgment of high
pop fly and ended with a wildly hurs
ried throw past second base that let
the Indians first baseman cross the
plate.
It was start1ingly poor work for a
world series contender and helped in
