baseball league this year, much as
it had last year. Rules have been
adopted which provide that no team
can have more than Is players signed
at any one time, and player who
hat not participated in three consecr-
tive games in which his team has
played may apply for a transfer to
another team. No one can be signed
to play who has not been a resident
of Prince Rupert for at least Is days
before signing.
The Baseball Association has full
charge of the games, arranging
schedules, and handling the gate re-
ceipts. Half the gate receipts go to
the Association and half to the va
rious clubs. The Association fur
nishes the grounds and equipment
and the umpires, and its decisions
on all disputed points are final.

The Four-Power Treaty.

Although the vote may be close, two.
thirds Of the senators present being
necessary to ratification, the support.
ers Of the four-power treaty in the
Senate are counting upon favorable
action on the final roll call. Their con-
fidence is based upon practical con.
siderations attaching to the case. In
the first place. there 10 the unques.
toned preponderancs Of public senti.
ment in this country in favor Of rati.
fication. The existence Of this weight
OF popular approval of the work of the
Washington conference has been made
manifest to senator's in every way pos.
sible short Of actual expression at the
polls.
Rejection of the four power pact, it
Is recognized by all, would imperil the
entire structure in behalf Of world
peace and domestic economy erected
by that epochal meeting of representa-
t.ves Of nine great powers of the world.
Rejection would weaken the agree
ment for Limitation of naval arma-
ments and to stop the ruinous and in
defensible rivalry In naval construc-
tion among the leading naval powers.
It would also vitiate the agreement
reached in behalf of the reconstruction
Of China and preservation of that ma
ton from the rapacity of any stronger
power.
, More important than all, perhaps, to
the United States Is the considera-
ton that failure to ratify the four.
power pact would leave the Anglo
japanese alliance alive, with possibil-
ity Of it's renewal for a term Of years.
II nothing more than this were in
volved 1t would be worth while to
ratify in order to be rid of what is
recognized to be a standing menace to
peace and to the actual safety Of the
United States.
In succession, objections urged
against the four-power pact have been
dissipated by officials of the govern
ment, President Harding has shown
that the treaty has no relation to the
separate nine-power agreement as to
China's integrity, and that it super.

States at a disadvantage.
The country wants this treaty and
all the others ratified, to consummate
the work Of the Washington confer
ence. The country will defer to the

tions 1t may deem necessary. but is
not likely to uphold Q decision to re.
