Plays That Puzzle
=BY BILLY EVANS

Interference plays at the plate are
troublesome. Often the runner ana
SfS. ball arrive almost at the same
time. There is a runner on second.
the batter singles to right. and the
runner attempts to score on the mt.
The catcher blocks the plate, and the
runner slides into him. while the
ball is considerable distance away.
Despite efforts to reach the plate, he
is unable to do so, although only a
few inches away. In the meantime
the ball arrives and the catcher
touches him. what is the proper
ruling?
Runner Is Safe.
The runner should have been de-
clared safe. The catcher has no right
10 block off the runner at the home
plate unless he has the ball prior to
the runner reaching the plate.

PEACE PRAYER WENT WITH
 NAVAL GRADUATE DIPLOMAS
President Harding Hoped Newly Com missioned Officers Would Never
 Be Called to Battle.

Annapolis, Md, June 2.-President Harding presented diplomas to the naval academy graduating class here today with a prayer that the newly commissioned officers never would be called into battle, but with an admon- ition that willingness to fight and die for one's country always must remain one of the most potent safeguards to civilization.
 Speaking in Dalghreen hall before he midshipmen and thousands of their relatives and friends assembled for the graduating exercises the presi- dent solemnly reaffirmed his faith in a strong and fearless republic, but ad- ed that he wanted it always republic of high ideals" The most desired of national attainments, he said, would be a medium between the spirit of maintained institutions and the spirit of the crusader.
 With his expression of hope that the nation would not again be called to war Mir. Harding coupled 3 prom ise that so long as he remained presi- dent no American would be, called up- on to fire a gun except in cause in harmony with the American con science and for which answer could be made to God.
 The presidents short address was delivered after he had handed each of the 260 graduating midshipmen his diploma and personally had congratu- lated each on his completion of the academy course. Previously Secre- tary Denby of the navy department had made the formal commeneement address, advising the graduates that their best assets as officers would be the respect and love of their men and counselling them to be truly officers and gentlemen" and never "snobs.'

 than any other, who is responsible for the Germans signing the Versailles treaty. As a result he is hated by the group of pan-Germans which had had expectations of signing far diff ferent treaty, with clauses making Belgium a commercial colony of Ger many. A former Secretary of the Treasury under the Emperor, Karl Helfferich, was the leader in the move ment to disgrace Erzberger and drive him from political life.
 In January, 1920, while Erzberger was Minister of Finance. his tax re- turn certificates were stolen from the Finance Ministry; the material in them soon began to appear in the royalistic press. Erzberger immediately ordered an investigation of his tax payments and withdrew from the post as. Min ister of Finance. He left office with Noske at the time of the Kapp revo- lution.
 His Return May Help Allies.
 For the past year Erzberger has been one of the powers behind the cabinet--and, altho he lived in the strictest retirement, he has been taken into counsel on many of the important crises thru which the government has passed. His Socialist and Centrum friends wish him to return to active political life and are seeking to rein state him in the Cabinet.
 They accuse the Monarchist group of having made Erzberger the sacri- flee of a political intrigue, and by means of interpellations in the Reich stag and discussions in the Hobbies are attempting to make the Erzberger case boomerang against the Royal | ists.
 The Centrum party claims that it's chief not only is not tax dodger, but that he overpaid his taxes and cite the court decision in evidence. Erzberg- CT was neither fined nor ordered to pay up back taxes.
 The political fight over Erzberger is of the greatest importance to the allies for the reason that if Erzberge1 is finally politically cleared, he will probably return to the cabinet and the Entente will have the assistance in the fulfillment of the treaty of one of the political group thru whose influence l the treaty was signed.
