[peitive conditions could be brough

Indeed before the AU-America
company came into the field, most
OF the cable traffic from the United

certain suspicion on the other that
European business men were able

The fight for untrammeled COM :

there was no politics in it, simply
a deliberate effort on the part OF
the American government to see to
it that cable communication with

might discriminate against the citi-
ZenS of the United States.
President Harding, however, has
the opportunity to go even farther

ment.''
France not only refused to accept the
Hughes proposals about submarines
and other auxiliary ships but actually
demanded the right TO build tonnage
far beyond anything she is financially
capable OF building. But even tho
France was able and willing seriously
to damage this part OF the program,
II is also true that the conference
adopted certain limitations on the
methods OF submarine warfare which
go far to offset the results OF Frances
wantonncss. Also the conference set
a limit OF 10000 tons TO the size OF all
auxiliary craft. and n limit OF eight
inches to the size OF all guns in auxili-
AIRY craft. and otherwise put severe re-
striction on auxiliary craft.
on tho other hand, 1t is also true
that Japan exacted certain stipulation.
about naval bases In the distant Pa
cific not included in the Hughes pro-
posais
The whole comparison between tho
Hughes proposals OF the first day and
the naval treaty of today is pretty
complicated. The net OF it is that ne
regards capital ships the Hughes pro-
posals were carried out practically en-
tire. but that as regards auxiliary ships
the degree of fulfilment is more diff
flcult to estimate.
l have asked many persons to make
an estimate of how close tho naval
treaty today comes to the Hughes pro-
posals "a "a whole. The answers vary
all the way from 60 per cent to 90 per
cent. My observation is that the osti-
mates are determined more by the tenn
pcrament of the speaker than by any
thing more exact.

WELL BALANCED BALL
CLUB At MICHIGAN U

ANN ARBOR. Mich. Feb. 5.-There
may be no George Sisters or johnny
Lavans in this years University OF
Michigan baseball squad. but indica-
tions are that Coach Ray Fisher will
have a well balanced team. First call
for practice in the cage at Waterman
gymnasium will be issued Feb. 10.
Led by Captain Ernie" Wick. all
American football center. the squad
will be particularly strong in batter
candidates, Wick is regarded as per-
haps the best catcher in the confer
ence. His work behind the bat last
season stamped him as one Of the best
receivers that Michigan ever had. He
will be aided in handling the pitchers
by Doug" Roby, full back on this
years football team. who was the
general utility man on the baseball
team last year. He also may be used
in the outfield.
Last years pitching staff remains
intact-DiNon, Schultz and Liverance.
Dixon is the best of the three. being
possessed of good control. Schultz
Liverance has the most stuff. but
lacks experience. All three are right
handlers. Smith. south paw who
was ineligible last year and Mac
Wood, from last years freshman
squad. will make the others work for
n position.
In spite of the loss of Perrin. who
goes south this Spring with the Bos-
ton Red Sox. and Comeback the out
field probably will be strong. Fisher
has two veterans in Roby and Roman
and will in all probability shift
Schakelford back to right field where
he started to play last year and was
later shifted TO first base. Myers,
the best man on the all Fresh team.
and Pearman. who has tried out be-
fore. will make a strong bid for
regular place in the outfield.
The squad appears to be weakest
in the infield. The shoes Of pete"
VanBovep and Joe" Karpus will be
hard to fill. First base will he well
taken care Of by the veterans Schakel
ford and Johnson and knodc, the sem
sation of last seasons ycarlings.
"Utz" Utcritz, quarterback on the
football team and last years second
sackcr. may be shifted TO the short
field. In this case Hoffman, a second
string infielder last year. will play
second. Klein who played the out
field last season will hold down third.
The team will make its usual swing
thru the South during Spring vaca-
ton. The first game is scheduled
with Kentucky for early in April.

the Three-I league. who will lead the
Joplin club: Walter Smith. formerly
of the Minneapolis club, will be In
charge at st. Joseph; "Chink' Mat
tick. the new half owner of the Sioux
City club. and Gus Fisher at Oklahoma
City. who was obtained from the
Portland club of the Pacific Coas
league. Mattick formerly played with
the Chicago Americans. and later
owned and managed the Dallas club
of the Texas league.
Jack Lclivelt. who managed the
Omaha club at the start of the 1921
race. will direct the play of the Tulsa
club this season. while Dick Brccn
moves from Oklahoma City TO the
leadership of the Dcs Moines club. Joe
Berger will remain in charge OF the
pennant winning Wichita club. while
Faecn Burch will continue at the helm
at Omaha. Burch succeeded Lclivelt
when the latter resigned last season.
Lelivelt. "a former major league star.
distinguished himself last season by
establishing the highest batting record
Of any player in organized baseball.
His average was .41b. He hit at n tre-
mendous clip all season.
All of the managers viii direct the
play from the Ncld instead of the
bench. Three OF them are catchers and
two holding down first base. Brcen.
Fisher and Dunn are the backstops.
Berger plays shortstop. Mattick the
outfleld and Burch IL n pitcher.
Fishers entrance into the league il
heralded with satisfaction. He was one
of the most popular players on the
Portland club. and probably could have
remained there until tho end of his
playing career II he desired. his friends
say. He was with the Portland club for
eleven years and his batting eye is
said to be almost AS sharp today as
1, was when he joined tho team.
Fisher. for the last f,vc years has
been regarded as the mainstay O
the Portland outfit and has developed
some promising matcrisl for the ma jor
leagues. including such players AS
Harry Heilman. Ivan Olson and.sev-
eral others. He possesses the ability TO
pick young steady players and has
been particularly successful in de-
veloping pitchers.
The club owners OF the Western
league will set their house in order for
the coming season at a meeting to be
held in St. Joseph Mo-. Feb. 90. The
schedule will be adopted at that time.
The season probably will open abou<
the same time the major leagues pry
off the lid and close the latter part of
September.
