Eighteen innings without a run

defense are hardly calculated to get
by a ball club that has every hoof

astonishing part of the story Is that
the Yankees, with their main asset

be too far out In the barren lands

TO be expected that every Giant

such batting eyes as Ruth and Meu-

applause divided. but there are signs
OF keener partisanship in sight
that may lead to the vocal
cataclysm of an old-fashioned Oc-

involved, as even family friendli-

Toxic May Ask China to Recon-
slider Proposals.

TOXIC, October 13.-Japan is dis
posed to seek all possible means Of
solving the Shantung problem. it is
indicated here. The main difficulty
seems to LIE the absolute divergence
of the views of China and Japan.
China holding that the leased terri
tory of Kiao-Chau should be restored
to her because of her entrance into
the war. while Japan is insisting that
she must retain the legally acquired
German rights in the territory.
Newspapers here reflect the idea
that the question can be settled only
by the friendly mediation of third
party. Some recommend that Presi-
dent Harding be asked to act in this
capacity. Some journals express be-
lief the government will ask China
to reconsider Japan's proposals. which
were rejected by the Peking govern
ment last week.
Kotaro Mochizuki, who will leave
for Washington soon as a special rep
resentative of the Kensei-kai, or op-
position party. has issued a statement
declaring he will go to America to
keep watch over the Japanese dele
gates as a diplomatic expert.
