HEART OF YANKEES
is SET ON WINNING
AMERICAN PENNANT

NEW YORK, Oct. AFTER flirting
with the American league pennant all
during September, the New York
Yankees today had their hearts set
on winning the one game necessary
TO capture 1t. They were scheduled
in a double header with the Philadel-
phia Athletics at the Polo grounds.
The two games are made necessary
by the postponement of yesterday
contest in Philadelphia, where rain
ruled at Shibe park. Many fans
thought the postponed game should be
dropped from the schedule, which
would have given New York the pen
ant, until a rule was pointed out pro-
viding that if any teams postponing
a game meet again in a regularly
scheduled contest before the end of
the season, the postponed contest
must be played in that series" VIII
liam Mogridge, secretary to President
Ban Johnson, dug up the rule which,
incidentally, the New York club was
instrumental in having passed two
years ago.

not raise it, or in any way bring il
forward at the coming Washington
conference, that will merely be be-
cause of good manners on our part.
No Reason Now.
When Great Britain first made this
alliance with Japan some 20 years ago,
there was reason for it in the fact that
Russia and Germany were then aggres-
sive in the Far East. But Russia and
Germany are now impotent and these
two reasons for the Anglo-Japanese al
lance no longer exist.
The only great power that is ad-
versely affected by the alliance is the
United States.
In expressing distaste for the ALI
ance the United States speaks not
merely for itself but for the world.
The United States believes that
there should be in the Far East com
plete equality of opportunity among
nations of a sort that is inconsistent
with the existence of any such agree
ment as this Anglo-Japanese one.
Undoubtedly, there is a large sec
ton of public opinion in Great Britain

normally expect British support foI
the liberal American policy in the Fal

So long as the Anglo-Japanese ALI
ance continues, it deprives America o.

The alliance does not bind Grea
