b|C NAVAL BILL PASSES HOUSE.; FIGHT LIN ARMY
 BILL LEXPECTED
Appropriations Aggregate $396, GOO, 900; Now Goes To Senate; No Disarma- ment Amendments At tached
TRenubIican A. p. Leased wireJ

WASHINGTON, April 2S. - With every amendment relating to dlsar- mament thrown out. the naval ap- propriations bill carrying $3s6,000,O00, was passed by the house today, PIP to 15. There was not enough opposi- tion to demand record vote.
 Imma1ia tely after the measure was made ready for the senate, the vetoed army appropriation bill, carrying $33l, ,o00, ,0O0, was taken up. The navy bill went through the house in the same form as originally passed, but there were indications of fight on the army budget because of an in crease in the enlisted force from 156,000 to 16s,000.
 Trick Play Wins
 A parliamentary trick play, and a quick move by Representative Walsh, epubIican, of Massachusetts, in the chair, cut off two hours of debate on an amendment providing that no part of the appropriation for warship building should be expended until the president had called an international disarmament conference. Seeing the tangle over time for debate. the amendment was put to a vote and de- feated.
 But it did not stop friends of arma- ment limitation who presented the same question in a different textual dress and almost as fast as presented they were ruled out on points of or der.
 The clash of the day was precipi- tated by Representative Byrnes, dem ocrat. of South Carolina. who sought to ascertain the real cause of post poning hearings br the foreign affairs committee on a disarmament resolu- tion, and at which Secretary Hughes had been invited to outline the views of the Harding administration. Mir Byrnes did not get very far with his inquiry
 The subject was brought up again Virginia, ranking democrat on tn, committee. who took exception tt the statement of Representa- tiv, Mondell of Wyoming, republican lead CT, that the house was willing tS trust the committee in all matters af fecting foreign policy.
 Mir. Flood declared the republican leadership did not trust it last session when it failed to permit consideration of the Brooks disarmament resolu, ton, reported out of the committee.
 Hope for Conference Gall
 After the discussion, the member were still unadvised as to why tn, committee had delayed consideration of a measure which would give th, president specific authority to call conference.
 The hope was expressed by MT Mondell that a conference of the na tions would be called before the clos, of congress.
 For many reasons, said Mir. MondelI It IS ntting that suggestions for ne got1ations on reduction of armament; should originate with the United States. But manifestly no actior i should be taken along these linei untii we have arrived at a condition ana situation in our foreign relation. 1 ship in which our motives and pur 1 poses may not be misunderstood Asked by Mir. Flood why be did no 1 bring the Brooks resolution to q vol months ago. MT. Mondeu declared h dld not regard its passage SIS wise.

PARIS. April 2S.-The German propositfons are absolutely unaccep- table and made under such condi- fions as to justify us in douptns csermany's good faith Premier Brl- and declared to press correspondents here this evening. He added:
 The presence of Americans in our councils would help immensely in the settlement of many questions.
 ~The German government is unable to rid itself of the reactionary ele- ment that dominates it's policy. Well, we are going to help them to get rid of that element, and we are going to do it in the right manner
 NJ. Briand spoke of the prospective occupation of the industrial region of Germany as a foregone conclusion, and declared that the operation would not only have a great moral effect on Germany, but would give material results. Referring to the proposals addressed to Washington, he said:
 If Germany wanted to show good faith in executing the treaty of Yer Sailles. she had only to address her proposals to the separations commis- sion. The fact that she applied to an intermediary is suspicious, all the more so on account of the fact that she waited until the eve of the day of reckoning to apply to the United states. in the hope that the American government wo,lld intervene and that an interminable discussion would follow, during which French public opinion would be unnerved and Ger man propaganda would work on for eign opinion with a view to dividing the allies and estranging sympathies.
 .weu.- declared the premier with great emphasis, we will not fall into that trap.''
 ~One is struck he said, "by the fact that the Germans studiously avoid references to some questions that are essential to France.

MUCH INTEREST IN
DIXIE TRAP MEET
In ATLANTA SOON

Interest in the southern zone trapshoot-
ing tournament, which will be held at
Atlanta, Ca, June !, 2, and 4, has been
ing population of the southern states.
Fourteen states are preparing to enter
champion teams while many other squads
will enter from some Practically every
important club in the south will furnish
an entry.
Ten states have already held their trial
meets and selected their champions.
Five men will make q team with
these five being the best in the state.
The four states which have not yet
chosen their squads namely, Alabama,
Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, Will
hold their trials in the next few days.
From the champion division in the zone
<hoot five-man team will be selected
to represent the south in the grand trap
shooting tournament in Chicago from
August % to q.
The zone meet will consist of four
days shooting with from 100 to $50 squads
participating. More than $4,000 in cash
and prizes will be given the winners in
this meet. First place winners will all
receive very handsome prizes and purses
while the other place getters will also
be rewarded The American Trapshoot-
ing association will give prizes to the
winners of the amateur doubles and zone
championship in addition to many other
cash and prize awards.
Trapshooting is getting to be one of
the leading outdoor sports in this section
of the country, even rivaling the game
of golf in many instances. 1t is estimated
that more than half million men, wom-
en- and children took part in the sport
last year. More state meets and indi-
vidual shoots have been held this year
than ever before and the class of shoot
ing displayed speaks we'll of the chances
for the southerners to cop some honors
at the national meet.
This is the first time that the southern
zone championship has been held in a
very large city and it is predicted by the
officials that a new era in trapshooting
in the south will begin this year The
falling of the cost of equipment will ma
turally increase the participants in this
sport and giant strides will be made in
the next few years to make the south
figure greatly in this pastime.

There was nothing wrong with the Pei
leans. They had their share of breaks;
had their share of hard luck, and, all
in all broke about fifty-hfty with the
Barons on the bad umpiring and the good
umpiring.
1t Just naturally was the next thing
to impossible for the Birds to connect
safely with MorrsoDs wicked curve
whenever Philip found it up to him to
bear down. He'd just bear down, and
that was all Once during the fray Phil
found himself with the bases loaded and
only one down; lots of times the Pelicans
put two men on; other times-many
other times-Morrison' wildness in pro-
miscuously handing out bases on balls
fixed things so one lonely base hit would
mean run, or maybe two runs, for
the Birds.
But always the hefty young coal heav-
er began twisting sharp, breaking curves
so effectively he had the Pelicans swing
ing their sides into stitches trying to
land on it, And when a ball pitcher can
be said this season to be bewildering the
pelicans, let it be generally understood
he is doing some tall pitching.
Morrison pitching accounts for the
fact that both runs which the Pelicans
scored were the direct result of errors.
The visitors hoped into Bill James and
put over a run in the first inning. Silva
opened the game with a clean single to
left, Emory sacrificed and Clark brought
Silva home with another clean one to
left.
James then warmed to his work and
Bernsen and Taylor both were easy outs.
And while Morrison aided and abetted
by Messrs. Traynor, Clark and Bernsen,
turned back the Pelicans hitless and run
less in their first two innings, James
was laying down a brand of southpaw-
ing which was delicatessen, and made
things look bright when the Birds tied
the score in their third. Doc Smith
led this third off with nightly drive
far over Siivas head in right for three
bases. James struck out, RAIDER hit to
Bernsen, and Smith was out between
third and home. Gilbert hit a weak
grounder in front of the plate, and in
throwing to first, Gooch hit Larry right
in the middle of the back. the ball rolling
to right field while RAIDER raced home.
Traynor handled Griffiths grounder for
the third out.
The game rocked along through Biz
minghams sixth with no further blood
spilled. James was pitching like fend
and receiving good support, while Nor
rison managed to wiggle out of hole in
the fifth with two men on.
After Griffith flied out in the Pels'
sixth ("Pug'' Allen going to the fence
to get the drive). Ike Boone slammed
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1921-05-23

clean single over second. Leslie walked,
and so did Knaupp clogging the sacks.
Sheridan hit to short and Traynor,
though he had world of time, made a
bad throw to the plate, Boone scoring as
the ball got away from Gooch Smith
was hit by his own batted ball and was
out, and Leslie was caught by an eye
lash at the plate trying to steal home
If Traynor had not leaned on one OF
James port heaves Justify i'll the seventh
and knocked the ball out Of the lot, the
game might not have been won in nine
innings. But Tray turned the trick. One
was out and none on, and though Allen
followed Tray with single, no further
damage was done. Demoe hit for James
in the seventh and Joe Martina took
James place on the hill in the eighth,
but before Joe could get the range on
the plate, Silva had singled to center
and Emory had sacrificed. Martina
famed Clark, and as it glanced off his
wrists, Silva scored the winning run.
Bernsen went out trying to steal.
It looked as I'm the Birds would tie it
up in their eighth when Griffith opened
the inning by dropping Texas Lacquer
back of second. Bernsen threw Bert out
at second, however, on Boone's ground
er. Ike pilfered second, but after Leslie
had famed and Knaupp had walked, axe
was forced at third on Sheridan's ground
err to third.
Neither team could get man to base
