New York, May 10. - When a
brace of juvenile fingers couldn't
display any startling amount Of
control, Manager Evers yesterday
afternoon summoned Speed" Mar
tin from the bullpen to extinguish
the hostiles. Speed" had plenty of
control. He hit Catcher Smiths bat
SO hard that the ball sailed into the

Giants made of with the contest,
3 to Z. Martin pitched only one
ball and got himself charged with a
defeat
The game, which began as a
pitchers battle, finally degenerated
into an exhibition of patience.
Young Alex Freeman ambled along
for seven portions in pretty good
shape, only to ascend in the eighth.
He blamed Umpire Hank O'Day for
most of his troubles, and the Cubs
generally growed from the bench
that Hank is getting old and cannot
see we'll any more. In any event,
Freeman hit one batsman and walk

FRENCH MAY UPSEI 5-5.}
 NAVAL PLAN
tBy the Associated Pressl

Washington, Dec. 16.-The French delegation has presented to the con- ference on limitation of ornaments a proposal for so great an increase in the strength of the French navy that representatives of the British gov ernment declare such program. if carried out, will upset the whole five hve-three naval plan which has been agreed upon as between the United States, Great Britain and Japan. The British delegation understands. 1t was announced today, that the French plan provides for the construc- ton of 10 35,OOO-ton superdread- naughts in years subsequent to 1925.
 This is greater tonnage than that allotted to Japan and would give France a preponderance of modern type war vessels over any other country.
 The attitude of France was re- celved with surprise. The final agreement between America, Great
 
 last night, and the next step, an elab- oration of the agreement to include France and Italy, was initiated inn mediately within the new naval com mittee of 15, in which all five powers are represented.
 Agreement among the three major naval powers was reached on the basis of status quo" understand ing as to fortification of the Pacific islands. At the same time the United States and Great Britain acceded to Japan's desire to retain her newest battleship, the Mutsu, with propor- tionate changes in the American and British fleets.
 1 While the principles of the original American proposal were not impaired by the triangular agreement, the set tlement contemplates the following ! changes in fleets to be retained
 Great Britain-20 ships instead of 22, with an aggregate of 5S2, 2,050 tons instead of GOA, ,450 tons.
 United States-1S ships, as origi- | iaiIy plOpOStu, but Wllu all dSSrS- gate of 525,000 tons, instead of 600,- 1 $50 tons.
 Japanese-10 ships, as originally proposed, but with an aggregate of 313, 300 tons, instead of 299, 700 tons.
 At the end of the 10-year building holiday the fleets will stand under the revised detailed plan, as follows
 Great Britain, 525, ,000 tons; United States, 525,000 tons; Japan, 315 ,0OO 1 tons..
 In announcing the three-power agreement to the committee of 15 the following official explanation was made:
 "This arrangement between the United States, Great Britain and Japan is, so far as the number of ships to be retained and scrapped is concerned, dependent upon a suitable agreement with France and Italy as to their capital ships"

Babe Brings Total Up to 3d.
New Yorks Triumph
by 6 to 4.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
ST. LOUIS. July 12.-Babe Ruth made
his thrty-third and thirty-fourth home
runs OF the season here to-day and
slugged the Yankees to a deserved
triumph in the opening game Of their
series with the Browns The score was
and 4, and four of the Yankees runs
resulted from the Babes clouting.
The Babe struck out on four pitched
balls when he faced Dixie Davis in the
opening inning. In the third he came up
with runners on first and third, one run
in and two out After waiting for a
count of three and one the Babe got
hold of Cripple" and slashed it into
the right field bleachers.
Four innings later-in the seventh
Babe came up again. to find the
bases empty and two out. This time he
leaned against a slow one and banged
1t over the right field stand at a point
not less than 200 feet from the foul line.
This was one of the longest homers ever
recorded at the locol park, though not so
long as the one that Babe propelled into
the centre field bleachers when the
Yankees were here In May.
Bob Shawkey and Davis were the op-
posing pitchers and the Yankee hurler
was the more effective by far. Two of
the runs recorded against him resulted
from Chick Fewsters failure to make
a comparatively easy catch In the first
inning. He weakened in the ninth,
however, and Mays was rushed into
action after pass and single had put
the tying runs on base with only one
out
The Brownies broke away in front, a
combination Of good luck and good hit
ting netting them two runs. With two
out in the opening round Sisler doubled
and scored when Fewster misjudged
Williams's fly in the sun, the ball fall
ing safe for a triple. Jacobson doubled
to left and Williams completed the cir
cult Collins slammed through the box
but Peck came up with it and whipped
it to first for the third out.
Bodie replaced Fewster in centre in
the second and celebrated his return by
making a double play on his first
chance. After McManus had been re-
tired Austin drew a pass and started
down to second on a hit and run with
Davis Davis then flied to Bodie, whose
return reached Pipp in time to double
the runner.
The Yankees meantime had been 60
ing out in order. In the third, however.
Ward led off with single to centre and
Schang beat out hit to McManus.
Shawkey also punched a hit to centre.

Final on Nassau Courts

Watson VI. Washburn advanced to the
final round of the Nassau Country Club
tennis tournament on the turf courts
at Glen Cove yesterday as the result of
n victory over Lyle Z. Mahan. 1t took
the member of last years Davis Cup
team all of one set TO find himself, and
Mahan outscored him so easily, 6-1.
that another tennis upset appeared to be
in the making. Washburn. however.
steadied quickly in the second set. out
manoeuvred his opponent easily in the
rallies by varying the length of his
strokes in puzzling style and by mixing
drive with lob in way that broke up
Mahan's effective net play. In the last
two sets Washburn led from start to fin
ish and won at GO. GO.
Owing to the absence of Vincent
Richards. who is playing in the Middle
West this week, the Nassau tournament
will not be completed until next week.

fourth round match. and the winner is
to play Walter Merrill Hall In the semi
