The Japanese may carry one feature

where it may possibly endanger the
conference. This concerns the Mutsu,
the latest Of their great battleships,
which has been constructed under the
eight-and ght program. The deiegs-

tion before the Powers at the first ses-
sion Of the naval committee
The absolute rejection of the Japan
csc proposal by the American authori-
ties is assured. American experts
feel that Japan has been treated lib
orally in the 5-5-3 ratio. They point
out that the three TO five program was
decided upon only after many experts
had insisted that Japan's allowance of
capital ships be placed a fifty per cent
instead or sixty.
The opinion also is held by soraa
American officials that Japan secretly
is rather pleased by the datio Of three

on it with the idea that by seeming to
Weld reluctantly. she may be able to
get concessions further on in the con

ORGANIZE FOR BETTER
BASEBALL SCORING

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-To promote
better score-keeping in college base
ball and to facilitate the preparation
Of individual batting, fielding and
pitching averages, managers of the
leading eastern college mines will meet
here next month to study scoring
problems and to form an Association
of college baseball managers"
The body will see only to preserving
individual records and will not touch
the question of a team championship.
College managers from Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Col
umbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell and
Holy Cross are expected to attend the
meeting. The individual figures will
be based on the games these teams
play against each other.
College baseball folk expect a
similar association to be formed in the
Allegheny section. where Penn State,
Pittsburgh, Washington and Jeffer-
son, West Virginia and Carnegie Tech
are among the leading teams.
