ton of whether he would dethrone
Babe" Ruth as hone-run king, to-
day told The Associated Press that he
had given up hope of equalling Ruth's
1921 record of SO homers.
Il believe no one will ever equal
Ruth's record of knocking out 90
homc-runs in one season" he said.
Williams today is eight home runs
behind last years record Of Ruth,

year ago today, while Williams has

Although he leads both major
lea CUES with his Is four base clouts,
Williams said he had fallen into
heavy batting slump since tine latter
part of April. when in shortly more
than week he chalked up 10 hon.
ers He has connected for only five
home runs in the past six weeks.
Despite the slump Williams is con-
fident he not only will lead Ruth i'm

although Rogers HWnsby, his local
National League rival, is hot on his
trail with Ii hOmers.

SEEK TO STOP
MASSACRES IN
ASIA MINOR

London, June 1o--(By A. Phi. L.
O'Connor appealed to Premier Lloyd
George in the house of commons this
afternoon to use his influence with
Premier Poincare of France to stop
Turkish massacres of Christians in
Asia Minor, citing the recent affirma-
ton by the Greek patriarch of Con-
stantinople that 1900 women and
children were murdered near KAYAK
two weeks ago.
Mr.. Lloyd George replied:
Il am afraid l can hardly take the
responsibility of adding to the bur-
dens of Premier Poincare when he
visits London, but l am quite sure all
these facts are just as much alive to
his mind as to the British govern
ment. His attention undoubtedly has
been called to them"
Cecil Harmsworth, under secretary
for foreign affairs, declared that
while the government had no official
adviccs on the specific massacres al
legged by the patriarch, information
availabl from independent sources
confirmed the fact there had been
widespread deportations of Chris
tianS.

such a game and the verdict is al
most unanimous against such con-
test. There would he nothing con-
elusive in such a meeting and Ger
tainly would not be in the nature Of

To Name Sub
Commissions for
Russian Questions

The Hause, June 15.-(By A. Ply
The leaders Ct the delegations of the
Allied countries with II. a. Van karc-
beck, the Dutch foreign minister, at a
lengthy meeting late today mapped out
the work of The Hague conference and
decided to recommend the appointment
Of three sub-conpmissions to discuss
separately the questions of Russian
debts, Russian credits and the treat
ment of property in Russia owned by
foreigners but eXpropretcd by the So
Wet government.
These ub-commissions will probab
be selected tomorrow morning after
the formation of a general Russian
commission, to which as many coun-
tries as desired may adhere. Each SUBJ
committee will consist of IL members.
The Allied nations, known otherwise
as the inviting powers, Great Britain,
France. Italy and Japan, together with
Holland, will each have a member on
each of the three sub-commissions.
This leaves five places open for other
countries, and the representatives will
be selected in accordance with the 4
terests of these countries in the par
tcular problem under discussion.
The heads of the principal dclcga-
IONS also determined to keep politics
outside the conference, believing that
this is the only way to achieve prac-
teal results on the problems which
they wish to discuss, in the same man
ner as the business directors of big
industrial concerns or commercial COM
panies. Emphasis was laid on the ne
cessity of allowing every country.
