Whera u. S. and British Colonies Agree

London quoting Premier Lloyd George
as saying the alliance with Japan
would not be renewed until the colo
MES were consulted.
No steps have been taken by the
British dominions to present the pro-
posal to the State department.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee and Republican leader OF
the senate, in a speech several weeks
ago in Philadelphia, made one brief
reference to the Japanese problem.
The paragraph suggested union OF
the British dominions with the United
States in dealing with Japanese immi-
grafton and land ownership, copy OF
which Mr.. Lodge said. found its way
into the British embassy here in an as
tonishingly short time. Because of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance there was
nothing official which the embassy
could do.
But a high official of the govern
ment of Australia did not feel so ham,
pered. Moreover, he knew well that
the feeling in New Zealand and Cana
da was precisely similar to that in Aus
tralia and the United States. So he
wrote to Mr.. Lodge commencing the
suggestion of o league of English
speaking nations whose boundaries
touch the Pacific.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. negotia-
W lions have been going on for
some time looking to working agree
ment between the United States and
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa to maintain a united
front against Japanese immigration.
These four British dominions are
confronted with much the some prob
lem as the California laws. 1t is adj
mitted that among the problems dis
eussed at the conference was the pos
sibility of CARRYING out the idea that
the five powerful countries interests in
excluding Japanese nationals are iden-
teal.
The fact that Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa are
supposed to be included with Great
Britain in an alliance with Japan adds
interest to the recent messages from

Followers OF sporting dope when
asked. to name the greatest living ath-
lete probably have some trouble in
settling in their own minds just who
is entitled to the crown.
On past performances, Jim Thorpe
would generally be accorded the laurel
wreath, because the Indian has shone
in football, baseball and on the
track. Baseball fans might nominate
"Babe" Ruth us champion athlete, and
lovers of boxing doubtless would Sc
lect Jack Dempsey. But closer stu
dents of all sorts of sport If they stop
and think, will give the topmost rung
of the ladder of perfection to Willie
Hoppe.
Some VIII Object.
There will be some who will say
that Hoppe isn't an athlete at all be-
cause billiards isn't an athletic game.
True, 1t is far cry from the delicate
stroke of the cueist to the mighty
swing of Ruth or the crushing
punch Of a Dempsey, yet the same
qualities enter into the making of
each; perfect mental and physical CO.
ordination, sense of time and rhythm.
When Ruth clouts home run he
times his swing so that he will have
the absolute maximum of weight and
speed behind the bat when 1t meets
the ball. He makes perfect stroke

bali carrying, says an Eastern writer.
1t may be that later-day football has
increased the scope and burden of the
backs, but such splendid players OF
the past as Bonn Dibblee, Vincent
Stevenson, Malcolm Mcbride, Frank
Butterworth, Bum McClung, Everett
Lake. Jim Mccormick, Ted Coy, Brink
Thorne, Snake Ames, Johnny Baird,
Bill Heston, Osgood, Walter Eckersall,
Dan Hurley, Harold Weekes, Cayou OF
Carlisle and others could not readily
adapt themselves to the requirements
of the present and become just as

posterous everybody who followed

with full power. When Hoppe hits
his cue ball, he doesn't try to see how
hard he can drive it, but in all other
particulars, such as timing and ''fol-
low through" he does very much the
same thing as the mighty 'Babe."
One offers the objection, possibly,
that Hoppe is hitting stationary OBJ
iect, while Babe is forced to meet
a fast-moving ball and one whose
trajectory is erratic. This is Offset by
the fact that Ruth must simply meet
the ball fairly and with force, while
Hoppe must cue the ivory in such a
manner that it will take english of the
desired sort ard with JUST the proper
amount of force to bring lit to stop
in good position for the succeeding
shot.
Hoppe Makes Many.
Ruth creates furore in the sport
ing world by hitting half a hundred
home runs in the course of q season.
Hoppe makes several times thrt many
shots calling for the maximum of per-
fccticn in a single evening. And If
Ruth does not get hold of the ball"
exactly right. he may get a base hit
through the infield, or a foul ball that
will give him another chance. But
Hoppe, If he doesn't make his shot ex-
actly right every time, gets nothing at
all.

In the present system the commits

passage of perishables from the pro-
Queer to the consumer certain inter-
trade dealings which, it believes,
should be eliminated, and it suggests
that the handling Of these products be

The commission says that "the need
ed reforms can hardly be expected to
be accomplished by the initiative of
the Dealers" and asserts that state
and municipal authorities lack ade-
Quate power to effectively regulate the
handling of the food supplies.
Although cooperation Of state and
local authorities and railroads might
accomplish the ends sought, the COM
mission believes this plan does not hold
out much hope for satisfactory solu-

NEARLY KILLS LION
WITH BATTED BALL

Ping Bodie once received
credit for almost killing a full
grown lion with a batted ball.
Longer ago than Ping likes to
admit that he played baseball,
he smacked one against a Los.
Angeles pitcher. Being on for
eign ground the fans let out
roar Of anguish and discomfort
as the ball went over the fence.
A peaceable, law-abiding lipn,
lslumbering In his cage in the ad-
jacent zoo, came to bat with a
roar even more audible when
the ball doomed against the top
Of the cage. The dismal moan
Of the beast led fans to believe
Ping had killed the animal, and
such was the news printed in
all the Pacific coast papers the
next day.

HUNTER FIRST OFF
IN NATIONAL GOLF
Sixty-four Players Start Quail.
flying Round for Amateur
Title at St. Louis
MANY STARS SEEK CROWN

St. Louis. Sept. 19.--Sixty four Of
the best amateur golfers of the world
teed off today at the st. Louis Country
Club in the thirty six hole qualifying
round for the national amateur cham
pionship title now held by Chick Evans
for the second time.
The procession of club wielders was
led by no less golfer than Willie
Hunter, British champion, accompanied
by II. Il. Johnston, Of st. Paul, the
Minnesota State champion, who has
scored ~ with frequency this season by
virtue of his long drives.
This pair, getting away at 0 o'clock
for the first round, made 1t necessary
for them to start on the second circuit
at IL 40 Z. M, only an hour after the
last pair started their first trip around
the 1891 yard course. The tailenders
starting at 3 20 on the second eighteen
holes were scheduled to finish medal
play after 9 o'clock this evening.
Scattered through the string Of play
ers were such prominent golfers as
Bobby Jones, Of Atlanta, runner-up two
years ago. who scored 20 on Friday,
playing with II. Chandler Egan, Port
land, twice n champion II. r. Knep-
per, Sioux City, Ia, champion ana
runner up to Evans In the Western
amateur championship; Francis Oui-
met, Boston, former national open and
amateur champion; Jesse Guilford, the
long driver from Massachusetts, and
Bob Gardner, who not only won the
national title twice, but carried Cyril
Tolley to thirty seven holes for the
British title last year.
The favorites for the title among
those who watched the preliminary play
are Jones and Evans, although Ouimet
and Knepper have a strong following
and several others in the contest have
a goodly following.
The foreign invaders, reduced to two
by the elimination round on Saturday,
were not feared by experts, as Hunter
and II. ID. Armour both have been err
ratio. More rain fell last night. making
the green's more sure Of the grip on the
ball and preventing side slipping to the
drives on the sloping fairways with
which the course is beset.

Autumn Racing Opens Wednes
day With $4,000 Eastern
Shore Handicap

ernoon for the opening Of autumn rae
ing at Havre de Grace, the "Philadel-
phia track" The Hartford Agricultural
and Breeders Association has provided
for the opening day the Eastern Shore
handicap, with $1,000 added for two
year -olds. Bunting, the leading colt in
the East, with Norwich and Kai Sang
and other good ones, will contest for
that stake.
There will be three $40, 900 stakes,

competition will be certain to result
from the equally balanced fields. and
the sport will be in other ways inviting
There are 500 horses already at the
leautiful Susquehanna course with more

H. c. Bedwell has filed his colors as
an owner with the Maryland Racing
Commission, and has indicated that he
will press for recognition of his license
as trainer at the opening of the
Hayre de Grace meeting; 1t also is
probable that Shilling will be given
mount and put up to the commission
whether his jockey license shall be rec
ognized. The Bedwell case reverts TO the
status it had in the spring. The indica-
tions are that there will be little fric-
ton over the matter as the Maryland
racing authorities have about decided
TO run their own affairs, regardless of
the interference of the New York Jockey
Club, which aspires to kill off all the
tracks in the East except in New York
State. where the bookmakers have racing
sewed up.
The Latonia championship was won
by Sporting Blood, the good three year
old for which II. G. Fisher paid $40
600 recently. The son Of Fair Play
toyed with Black Servant in the mile
and three-quarters route in the mud.
The poor showing Of Grey Lag was a
surprise. as he was an odds on choice.
Sporting Blood was well ridden by
Frank Keogh. At the judges wire Black
Servant was two lengths back, while
Humbrey, an outsider. nosed out Grey
Lag for the third money. The net
amount to the winner was 800, ,63J. with
