NO REPLY TO NOTE
DEEMED NECESSARY

PARIS, June II.-(B BY the Asso-
ciated Press. NO reply to the re-
cent German note has been con-
sidered necessary so far as France
is concerned it was said at the
foreign office today, but if the
Allies desire to improve the oppor-
tunity to resume general discus
sion of the reparations question,
France is ready.
A reply by the Allies in com
mon, it is held in official circles,
would require probably several
weeks negotiations because of the
impossibility of their uniting in an
answer until they themselves come
to an agreement.

The constant use of new balls has handicapped the pitcher and helped the batsman. The edge is now with the batter. In fact the edge is becom- ing entirely too decisive The cry that that has been raised over the terrific increase in the cost of the baseball is sure to have it's effect. The umpires are certain to try to keep down the cost by using every ball possible and in so doing they should lend some aid to the pitcher in his effort to keep the batters from knocking down the fences.

Unquestionably the lively ball has been the greatest factor in the era of slugging that is now baseball's chief feature. Incidentally the fact that umpires have been in the habit of throwing ball out of play on the slightest provocation has played prominent part. With the pitcher compelled to deliver new ball prac- tically all the time, and the batsman realizing the advantage this gives him, slugging has become the outstanding feature of baseball.

One club owner made the statement that his baseball bills 20 years ago amounted to $500; that last season it cost him $6000 to keep the athletics supplied with new balls and that this year the cost would probably run to $500. h. cidentally the club owner made wise crack when he said not nearly so many balls would be thrown out if the expense for same came out of the salary of the players and the umpires

No manager in the world could
have done more with the Browns
t1an Fohl accomplished in 1922.
with an ordinary pitching staff, in

an infield that lacked stability at
third. and forced to be without the
services of his big star, Sisler, when
he was most needed, the Browns
were in the fight until the very last
day.
Shortly after the close OF the sea-
{gon it was rumored that Sisler might
Succeed Fohl. Such rumors were
i soon set at rest by the quick an
nouncement from headquarters that
Foil would again be in charge.
However, it seems certain that
fgt st. Louis, Sisler will be the man.
It is a well-known fact that he was
offered the management of the club

club at this time" was Sisters re-
