CUTS BASEBALL REPORTS
Chicago Tribune Feels Professional Game Receives Too Much Space and Acts Accordingly.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Declaring that a active doubt existed as to the value of professional baseball in American life. the Chicago Tribune today an- nounced on it's editorial page that it had curtailed it's baseball reports in favor of other sports, particularly amateur games.
 The Tribune is down to about a half column now for games in which the home team plays and to a bare statement of vital statistics regarding other clubs" the announcement said That is enough"
 Two or three hours in a ball park do not take anything off the waist line of the spectator or add anything to chest measurement. Professional baseball is a stimulus for boys, but journalism has over-fed it with space. Amateur sports seldom produce the ability of professional sports, but | they produce sound citizenry."

 mcnt of Far East Troubles

Tokio. Aug. 2F (By Associated ProsS)-The draft of Japan's formal acce ptarce of the invitation of >Presi- dent Harding to participate in the con- ference in Washington in November on Far Eastern questions and disarma- ment was again considered today by the cabinet and later by the diplomatic advisory council.
 It is understood here that the com muntcdtion warmly praises President Harding's initiation in calling the con- ference. It lays emphasis on Japan's history and shows that Japan always has strived for the cause of peace and declares that because the proposed Pacific and other Far Eastern discus sions are inspired by desire to in- sure permanent peace in the Far East Japan welcomes the discussions.
 It also is understood that Japan will voice happiness that the agenda will be arranged in advance, but that she will seize the opportunity to reiterate her belief in the wisdom of excluding questions solely concerning individual powers and accomplished facts 9th. erwise, Japan is expected to point out the conference may prove intermin- l. able and sterile so far as practical re. suits are concerned.

 SPANISH-MOOR SCRAP All Day Battle Shows Heavy L0sses-Princess' Regi-
 ment Counter Attacks.

Madrid, Aug 24.-Savage attacks

 lila. Morocco, have been made by
 rebellious tribesmen but they have
 been repulsed with heavy losses, said
 an official statement issued here last
 night. The Spanish forces, after stopping the onslaught of the Moors launched a counter attack and com
 pelled the enemy to abandon positions
 he had taken there, the statement
 added.
 The battle lasted all day yesterday
 and the operations of the Spanish forces were ided by a squadron of airplanes, which scared over the bat tile lines and did efficient work. The Spanish troops were under the direct
 command of Gen. Cavalcanti, com-
 mander-in-chiefi in Morocco, who was
 ablW supported by columns under the command of Gen. Sanjuror and Col Requelme. The stern defense of its position by the Princess regiment was
 mentioned in the statement and it was this organization that counter attacked later in the day. An armored auto
 mobile is said to have broken through the enemy lines and reached Casa Bona, the Moorsh fire against it being without effect. Spanish troops have been thrown forward into posi- | tions which protect communications with the town of Zocco. The statement admitted that the Spanish had suffered some losses" in the encounter which is reported to have been one of the sharpest bat ties as yet fought in northeastern Morocco.
