 The President proposes the re- construction of the machinery of the international tribunal ''to dis pose eonclusively of all other cited spprehensions of danger from the exercise of any influence whatso- ever, either open or fuYtively, by the League of Nations CT any other organization He explained that this could be done in one of two ways, first by empowering the court to fill vacancies ID itself; and second by continuing the power of the present court to nominate, but transferring the power to eject fsSm the League of Nations to the re- maining members of the court
 Anticipating the questions of doubters whether the forty nations represented in the court would con- sent to such changes, the President said ito submit terms which we consider essential to the preserva- tion of our nationality Is not an act of discourtesy; ii IS anly the fair, square, honorable thing 8 great seh-respeetine ration can do." The rrux of these conditions, he said, is to make the world coan precisely what the name inplieA." ":.-..

Then, the more quickly t can be made, the better-the better for them and for us. There is noehins accomplished in ambiguity. We want to know and the only way to find out Is to inquire" ... ...

He said further: 'I shall call upon your patriotism, shall beseech your hu- m2nity, l shall invoke your christ isnity, I shall reach the very depths of your love for your fellow man, of whatever race or creed, through out the world; l shall speak, as I speak now, with all the earnestneSs and power of sincerely that is in me, and iB perfect faith that God will keep clear and receptive your un- derstanding."
 The President voiced the "enhahc- ed regard" of this country for Great Britain because of her 'stur- dy assumption" of financial ohliga- ton to the United States. He be- spoke good will for Mexico, with the hope of early resumption of re lasions. He expressed the hope that Bermany, Turkey and Mexico would accompany the United States into the world court.
 The President devoted practically all of his remarks to the world court issue and but briefly reviewed what had been done by the admins tration "to get the country back on the right track in domestic affairs. He said he did not wish to make a partizan report but that he took pride in pointing out that nnemploy- nent "had been banished," financial stability restored, taxes frightened and eeoDenaieA affected. .-.

Italian runners at the Paris intercollegiates gained many meters through their smooth transmission of the spark from the expiring runner to the next man. Italy has some excellent sprinters coming along, but I think the United States will excel in the relays and sprints, with France and England close behind. Give Italy a few more points in the distance runs and l think that ends the possibilities of scoring for her.
 Finland. I think. will be the cham pion again in the weight events. with America following and Czecho- slovakia to be heard from. The Czechs have one young husky who is Tipping the stone plate 140 feet and putting the shot 47 feet, and such marks from q young man who has a. year in which to improve should be a warning to us.
 Nurmi of Finland has things pretty much his own way in the distance runs.

The more Birmingham fandom sees of Kid Elberfeld, the fewer friends the Tobasco Kid has in the Magic City. Monday after noon brought to light newer and more flagrant-ruse of the Travellers to win a ball game, and the microscopic popularity of the Kid has shrunk even more, if possible.
 During that seventh inning Monday, when the Travellers scored three runs off Bates and forced his retirement from the game, a man was sent from the Little Rock dugout to the third base coaching line to attempt to "get Bates goat" The method followed was to mimic the crying of an infant-and Red Bates and his little family are mourning the loss of their baby Thursday afternoon of the past week.
 Random can tolerate legitimate and fair methods of winning games, or can even stretch point and overlook some breaches of fair play. But when any man plays on the heart strings of his opponent. and attempts to open wounds to the heart with any such practice as was staged at Redwood Monday. the game will be better off without such 8 character as Kid.

 Is 1t just another cry of "Wolf! Wolff" or are those Barons really going to flash the form of which they nre capablcf Enthusiasnl too often aroused and doused in cold water is slow and hard to fire again.
 It was curious crowd that went to Redwood Monday, crowd that went to view the un- expected, to be thrilled by situation that comes but seldom in the history of every ball club. And the crowd--a fairly large one, too-was not disappointed The unexpected came to pass, for the same team that dropped seven games in row to the slovenly Crackers turned on the Little Rock Travellers like so many big leaguers, and no clas- sier performance could have been staged. The thrills were there. by the score, and the three or four thousand railbirds who left the park at the end of that Thinning battle had no com plaint to make, despite the fact that the second game of double-header failed to materi- alize.

VETERANS IN LEAD AT END OF FIRST BATTLE AT TROON
Walter Hagen Has Bad Day In Qualifying Round In
 British Open

TROON, June 11-(By Associated Press.)-Age. personal and national. put youth behind today in the first of the struggle of 222 golfers to qualify for participation in the Eng fish open championship. In the first instance the old golfers of England led the younger generation as re- ported by the American invaders and in the second instance, the golfers, of old England. for a day at least. had the experience of doing better than their young rivals.
 Old Jim Braid, who began winning his string of five open championships P years ago. led the field. His score of 72 was considerably under that of the younger Hagen, who drank his first quaff from the cham pionship cup only year ago. Hagen took ss today. and unless he does much better tomorrow. is likely to find himself among the spectators when the championship gets under way, as only 80 players plus those. if any. who tie for the eightieth place. can appear in the grand finale;
 Today an even 100 players slipped in cards of 7s or under, while all together 136 men did better than Hagen. The best the Yankees could do was 75 and this was accomplished by Gene Sarazen, American open C1d nplOn, anu AlCDOudIu oE1lNn Ol California. Between them and the leader stood the names of eight golfers.
 Four other Americans, Leo Diegel, Tommy Armour. Charles Hoffner and Frank Clark. were among the hun enties, while the figure 80 was spared by George Aulbach. Jim Barnes and Johnny Farrell.
 Braid was only one of the many stoop- -shouldered old war horses of the British fairways who did well. ship came in 1896, had 7s, and so did J. H. Taylor. who entered the role of champion 29 years ago, or seven summers before Gene Sarazen came into the world.
 Sandy Herd. who acquired the title of British champion many years ago, scored 79 today. Roger Wethered. who won the British amateur golf title at Deal last month, and who was highly thought Of by those who favor amateur sport. probably will not qualify at all, as he took sS in the 1S-hole round, recalling similar grief which twice befell him in his visit to America last year. Those who hold wethered as their hero concede tonight that although his ex- celIence extends to almost every

 Braid, like Smith and Sarazen, shot over the municipal course. while Hagen had to face the harder trial exacted by the new course.

Still. it may be sterner. only in appearance a. three of the six men who made 1: today did it on the new course.

The New York Yankees took an other beating from the Indians Mon day. the seventh defeat for the champions in their last nine games. The score was to 3. The Tanks blame their recent losses, in most of which the scores were very close. to the absence of Walter Schang, their ancient catcher. who is out of the game because of injuries.
 The White Sox beat the Red Sox in Boston to i. and there were no other games in the American league. The Tigers and Athletics were rained out in Philadelphia and the Browns and Senators in Washington.

first appearance before Magic City fans Monday, and the impression he made was most pleasing. Moore pitched the last four of those Il innings which were bound to be the most gruelling of all, and he gave up only one scratch hit during that time.
 Moore is a southpaw, and a big one at that. He takes a mighty clean cut at the ball when at bat. and the respect in which the Travellers held him is proven by the fact that Mccall purpose ly walked him in the seventh in ming, filling the bases with none out, to get to Stump Clarke.
 How disastrous such proceed ings are is shown when 1t be- comes known that Stump hit one in the pinch that scored the tieing run. It always happens that way. make Stump Clarke mad and some- thing is bound to happen.

 Fandom is wondering whether John Franklin (Stuffy) Stewart, veteran keystoner, who is tenn porarily in charge of the Barons. will be given the managership of the team. Here's what Rick Woodward, chief owner of the club, had to say about the mat ter:
 AS yet we have nothing defi- nite to give out concerning the new manager of the Barons. How ever, I don't think that the next boss will be anyone who has any connection with the team now.
 We fully realize the capabili- ties of Stuffy Stewart as a base ball player and strategist, and I personally believe that he would make good manager. However, don't you think it would be a bit unfair to Stewart to shift to his shoulders the task of managing a club like Birmingham right now. and the worries that go with it?
 "Stuffy is comparatively young ball player, and he has his future ahead of him. He has years to play and absorb more knowledge of the national pas time. It would probably be best for him to spend his younger days in playing and learning. Stewart has possibilities. very mucfily so. and it is my honest opinion that he will wind up his baseball ca reer as manager of some good baseball club.
 Stewart will have charge of the Barons temporarily. but I don't think he is seriously con- sidering taking up managing at this stage of his careeer.'
 If Tommy Taylor was tilted by the BnrOns. then one must admit that Tommy has turned to his new love with an eagerness that is uncomfortable to the old, to say the lenst. Taylor played his first game with Memphis Monday, md slammed out n pair of safe hits, and playing leading role in their victory over Atlanta the same bunch that has found wallOping the Barons so much to their liking.

Our team may bo weaker in some departments than it was in 1920 at Antwerp, but in other specialties we will be stronger than ever. and a team which can even come within 50 points of our last Olympic score seems assured of vic tory. comparison convinces me that the European nations are about evenly divided in power, Finland having the edge again over the rest of the foreign field.
