Washington, April 12.-Presi-

first annual address delivered to-
day included the following:
Foreign relations: No separate
peace with the Central powers.
"On the assumption alone that
these would be adequate" "The
wiser course wouid seem TO be
to engage under the exist
ing treaty, assuming, of course,
that this can be satisfactorily ac-
complished, by such explicit req
ervations and notifications as
will secure our absolute freedom
of inadvisable commitments and
safeguard all our essential inter
ests. No helpful society of
nations can be founded on justice
and committed to peace until the
covenants re-establishing peace
are sealed by the nations which
were at war"
Lower Taxes Sought
Taxation: Readjustment Of in
ternal taxes and revision or re-
peal "of those taxes which have
become unproductive and are so
artificial and burdensome as to
defeat their own purpose"
Tariff: Instant tariff enact
ment, emergency in character
and understood by our people
that it is for the emergency on
ly."
Railroads: Efficient operation
"at a cost within that which the
traffic can bear. Railway
rates and costs Of operation must
be reduced" "The remain
ing obstacles which are the ner-
itage Of capitalistic exploitation
must be removed and labor bust

Fay Is Wealthy, But
Wants Martins ScaID

BALTIMORE, I'D, Aug. s29.-
When Fay Keiser returned from
service overseas he found a for
tune of s150.00O awaiting him at
his old home, Mount Savage, Nd. He
didn't have to fight any longer for
a living. But farm life was' dull
and he couldn't forget the decision
he lost to Bob Martin in Paris for
the A. Z. F. heavyweight title. So
Fay started training again and he
trained diligently on the farm. He
wanted a return match with Martin
over here, and as Martin kept on
piling up sensational wins in the
ring Fay became all the more de-
termined to meet him.
Now Keiser declares he is ready
for Martin. A years work on the
farm has been topped off with four
weeks hard ring work at Camp
Meade. Fay has finished his train
ing in the same camp he trained in
for the fight overseas. He's ready
to meet Martin before his old bud
dies of the Seventy-ninth who will
be here Saturday night to cheer
him on.
Keiser is confident of winning.
If he does he'll carry back to Mount
Savage prestige equally as valuable
in dollars and cents as that $780,
900 farm he is owner of. For the
man who can beat Bob Martin
right now will be worth something
as a drawing card.

with Babe Ruth and his pals
fighting grimly to overtake the
leading Indians, and the Griffs bait
ting with equal srimness to main
tain their hold on third place, which
is seriously threatened by the st,
Louis Browns. there ought to be
plenty of excitement when the two
teams go to the mat this afternoon
at American League park.
All told. the two teams will clash
in seven consecutive engagements
before looking for ether opponents.
Today and tomorrow the battle scene
is in Washington. On Thursday two
games are played at the Polo
Grounds, followed by single engage
ments on Friday and Saturday. Sun
day sees the rivals back on Georgia
avenue for their final tilt. At the
end of that time the Yanks will
either have a much roster. pennant
outlook, or the Griffs may be in
halins the dust fromSe heels of
the browns. =
Griffs' "Jinx' 10 Yanks.
Some days past the famous Mr..
Ruth announced in his daily news
paper article that the meeting with
the Mats was one upon which the
Yanks were looking with fear and
trepidation. The reason is that the
Griffmen have always been able to
make trouble for the New Workers.
They have been able TO maintain
a slight edge all year, having won
eight of the fifteen games played
this season. 1t that pace Is main
tained in the remaining battles, the
Yanks are going to find the pennant
much further removed than they
had hoped.
There is no lodging the fact thai
HuGgins has a better ball team
than at the first OF the season. Ir
the first place, his pitchers have
been doing great work, while q
month or two ago they were ex-
ccedingly unsteady. Also the team
is fielding capably and the old bludg
cons of the mighty sluggers are
doing their usual damage.

By owning a major league club

International League, has come
close to wrecking the Glass AA or
ganization. When one club has the
peEnant won early in the race and
when one club so far outclasses its
competitor that competition Is a
joke, patronage falls off and no
money cores in the gate. That's
what is happening in the Interna-
tional League.
The reason for this appalling sit
uation can be traced to the leagues
meeting last year. When the draft
came up for discussion the Interna-
tional League magnates voted 1t
down by a comfortable margin.
Dunn did not want his players sub
ject to ddraft and the majority of
his fellow owners backed him up.
: This will be overcome at this
years meeting. The magnates are
sure to vote In favor of the ddraft.
If this Is carried out other inter-
national clubs will have a chance
at least and the, orgnization will
not be a o2s-team league.

Labor Day Argument Should
Settle Cleveland Muddle
Both Wilson and Downey, Former Anxious to
Retrieve Lost Prestige, Declare Kayo Is
Inevitable Expects Huge Crowd

Of the division topnotchers-there
were and are few Of them
sought a scrap, seems to have lost
many of his former friends here as
a result OF the avalanche of criti-
cism of his tactics before and after
he entered the ring at Cleveland. As
result there is little betting on
the coming affair. The current of
public opinion seems to be flowing
in the direction of Downey, and
many of the followers of boxing
along the Rialto predict Downey
will be returned the winner via the
Knockout route.
Wilson has publicly stated that
he was not in condition to do his
best against Downey at Cleveland,
intimating that he took the Ohio
champion too cheaply." That,
however. is no excuse for what hap
pened. A champion should never
take any Of his fights other than
seriously He holds the title by
virtue of defeating another cham
pion who either has worn out or
took him too cheaply." That being
admitted. he should give the public
all that a champion has in his
repertoire.
We believe Johnny will step on
the gas next Monday. There isn't
anything else for him to do unless
he wishes the house to discredit
him entirely. He Is quoted as say
ing that he will be in the best shape
of his career and will knock
Downey for a row of hatpins.
Downey Certain of Win.
From all accounts. Dowpey is
just as confident that he will upset
Wilson and prove that he won the
title at Cleveland.
It's our hope to give the two lads
! couple of once-overs during the
week and judge for ourselves their
condition, at the sane time jotting
down a few vitriolic remarks we ex-
pect each will make regarding the
other. These remarks. If they ma
terialize. will be passed along.
But remarks don't win fights. We
venture to say that both boys will
do their utmost to be right for the
afternoon tea at Jersey City. 1t is
a cinch Downey will he at his top
form. He has everything to win
and nothing to lose. Wilson is said
ton for this scrap. in fact has been
going at top speed since the match
was made. If he was hog fat" at
| Cleveland. it will take some mighty
strenuous work on his part to cut
down to the $50 pounds he must
make six hours before the fight.
But he must do it or forfeit $4,000
he has posted for weight and ap-
pearance. Those who, have seen
! Downey say he will have noatrouble
in making the stipulated weight; in
/ fact, it is declared, he will be well
under the poundage. wilson should
be at his best around $50 pounds
and the scrap should be one long to
| be remembered.
Wilson is training at Manhasset,
L. J.. at the camp recently vacated
by Carpenter, while Downey is put
! ting on the finishing touches at
Grupp's gym uptown.
Unless the barbed wire prevents
we shall pay a visit to Wilson to-
morrow and get the up and up"
! from his standpoint.

BY FRANK SMITH.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The John
ny wiIson-Bryan Downey fight for
the middleweight championship of
the world to be staged under the
direction Of Tex Rickard at Jer-
sey City next Monday is creating
more or less of a furore around
these parishes than more.
Compared to the excitement prev
ious to the Jack Dempsey Georges
Carpenter scrap, it sounds like a
rifIe-shot alongside one of those
wen known daily Chicago bomb
blssts.,-
However, Tex Rickard is looking
for a crowd of between $4,000 and
10000, fans in his historic arena
when-the bell sounds for the title
battle on Labor Day afternoon. We
shall zee.
May he Grudge Fight.
We had promised ourselves that
we never would mention the word
"grudge" in connection with a pu-
gillstic encounter, in view of the re.
suits of a couple of alleged "grudge"
affairs in the neighborhood of Chi
cago recently. After looking over
the ground here, however, we will
weaken to the extent of remarking
that there is some real bitter feel
ing between Wilson and Downey,
which has cropped up as a result
of the late Cleveland mill. From all
we can gather, the boys are real
angry and promise to murder" each
other when they meet. We've heard
that word murder" used in this
connection before. but all we ever
saw was a stalIing match. We hope
to be disappointed this time
The Cleveland affair is too re-
cent history to discuss at this time.
Fistic fans have their own opinion
Of who is middleweight champion.

So was Willard, The night be-

willard is a big. good natured

He is coy about his age, but when
