FRENCH PRESTIGE
 PUT OVER VICTORY
Feel That Great Benefits May Be
 Derived From Olympics

Paris, Dec. 12.-The French Olym- pic committee, directors of sporting federations, clubs and close followers of athletics in France in general are bending every effort toward making a credita ble showing at the 1924 Olym- pic games but are under no misap- prehension as to the prospects of French athlete winning the games. While not unduly pessimistic they readily admit that France will not fin-
 sh first, but find solace in the thought that the Olympic games are the greatest manifestation of international sports in existence and that the van pushed do not necessarily emerge from them with g loss of prestige.
 While he would much rather win the Olympic games than finish among the also rans," said Frantz Reichel, general secretary of the French com mittee. we feel that great benefit will be derived for athletics in France by the mere presence and participation in all branches Of sport of the 4,000 or 5000 athlctes-the best in their lines of endeayor in e centuries. There is one thing, however, that VIC may win and that is the acknowledgment of all interested that the 1924 Olympic games were the best organized since their revival. This we will try to do."
 In tho winter sports which arc to be held at Chamonix from January 20 to February !, the opinion was general that France would only place behind the Canadians. Scandinavians and Americans, in hockey, skiing, bob sleigh and curling. They are out chased in speed skating and only hold out tho hope Of getting points in the figure skating where Mademoisclle Yvonnc Bourgeois who incidentally is one of Frances upper ten rackets in women tennis has more than an even chance Of winning,
 French rugby experts were sanguinc that the team rof rescnting France in this event had a good chance of win- ming, especially if Great Britain main tains her present decision Of not being represented.
 In association football every ono admitted that France stood no show. England stands alone in this sport and the French team has been rcgu- larly defeated by the Belgians and Czechs. while the teams representing Italy. the Scandinavian countries and Spain have won more matches from France than they have lost 10 them in the international clashes of the past lew gears.
 Mwh the advent Of polo in June, teams from the United States, Eng land and even South Americans arc regarded here as likely finallsts as France has no combination which can place any Of the foregoing in danger.
 In track and field events, the win ming of which was cancodod by all to be the real aim of sll countries enter Ing the Olympic games, France Is not 10 total up many points.

LANDS GIVEN UNQUALIFIED
 BACKING OF NATIONAL LEAGUE
Mays Sold to Reds-Mack Buys Strand-Evers to Aid Chance-Reports of Friction Are Spiked.
By The Associated Press.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Peace within the
 major league ranks over the admin- istration of Kenesaw Mountain Lan- dis. baseball commissioner, was as- sured for at least 1924 when the club owners of the National league adopt cd resolutions last night pledging the continuance of their loyal support and unqualified approval of his admins- tration.
 The action of the National ieaguers dispelled some of the rumors of the possibility of a clash between Com- missioner Eandis, President Heydler of the National league and Ban John son. president of the American league.
 The pre-convention report that Commissioner Landis would be em- harrassed at the, joint meeting of the major leagues today disappeared quickly as the action of the National leaguers became known. Previous re- ports were to the effect that Presi- dents Heydler and Johnson were dis satisfied with the action of Commis- sioner Landis in arranging the 1923 worlds series without consulting them and that President Johnson also dis approved of the commissioners action in calling the joint meeting of the major leagues without first ascertain ing the wishes of the major league presidents.
 The National league club owners in their resolution approved the fearless and impartial decisions rem dered by Commissioner Landis and !, preserve the highest traditions of the game.
 The resolutions follows:
 Recognizing as we do the con- sciontious devotion to duty, the im- partial and fearless decisions render d, the firm and uneompromising de- termination to hold and preserve the Lest traditions of the high standards Of professional baseball: knowing that he has won and still holds the de- served confidence Of tho public and players, we the National League ct Professional Baseball clubs here as- sembled at the 4sth annual meeting |, resolve:
 That we extend to Commissioner kenesaw Mountain Landis the con- iihdHNf oi puF ntdIly anu lONdl bup- port, and do further extend 10 him our appreciation for his distinguished services and our unqualified approval Of his official actions"
 The Ameriacn leagnefs while fail- ing 10 adopt resolutions either ap- proving or condemning Commission CT I.andis' administration, gave no inc dications Of belligcrcncy. Instead they went peacefully about their due ties Of familiarizing themselves with the IT proposed amendments which arc 10 be acted upon at the joint ses- sion tomorrow.
 The club owners decided to give personal recognition 10 Babc Ruth Of tho Yankees and George Sisler Of the Browns for their achievement as in- ditidnal stars in 1922 and 1923. In addition 10 having their names in- scribed on the s1O0,000 monument 10 be erected by the league in Potomac park in Washington, Ruth and Sisler will be given medals of honor and also will be presented with q miniature of the monument.
