G0LPING STAR CHOOSES
 BASEBALL FOR SPECTATOR
Jock Hutchison, However, Prefers Own Pastime as Ago Is No
 Tar to Performer.

''The greatest game of all to watch is baseball" says Jock Hutchison, fa- nous golfer.
 When l say that. I am not throw Ing any cold water on golf" con- tjnues Jock. Golf is a better game from health standpoint, because age Is no bar to playing 1t and 1t does not call for the strenuous exer- ton of baseball.
 However no one for minute would think of arguing that golf Is as interesting to watch as baseball. I love to play 1t but can't enthuse very much as to watching 1t. I have always thought 1t took a game per- son to follow two golfers around IS holes on hot day.
 Tn golf the thrills are limited. as most of the experts become so per- feet in their play that the matches get rather mechanical.
 In golf the biggest thrill comes when some expert makes a poor play rather than a good one. A sliced shot or missed short putt is what causes the spectators to gasp.
 Most Englishmen enthuse over cricket but I don't. I think some of the boys are kidding themselves when they rave over that game.
 T like to watch soccer. It's a great game with plenty of thrills. I like 1t better than the American brand of football. I can also en- thuse over good horse race.
 However, the greatest game to watch Is baseball and I believe Il would have been big leaguer if I had taken up baseball instead of golf as kid. Say, can go out and get a fly ball like Cobb or Speaker right now, but don't hit 'em so well. do better swing at golf ball."

There has been curious and inter-

question of the American troops on
the Rhine since the senate passed the
Reed resolution urging they be re-
called. On that very morning the Re-
publican leader of the senate, after a
conference with Secretary Hughes,
went back to the Capitol and favored

Within a few hours, however, the
Administration decided to make last
effort to dissuade France. Prior to
the Presidents ultimatum, spokesman
for the administration, in discussing
the international situation with news
paper correspondents, deplored the as
sumption which has so generally been
made that France had rejected the
American proposal for settlement of
the reparations amount by commits
sion of experts.
At the same time Administration
Spokesman waved aside the possibili-
ty of immediate action on withdrawing
the troops from the Rhine. Such
withdrawal, made at time when the
French were about to go into the
Ruhr, would surely be misconstrued,
the Administration Spokesman in
sisted.
There followed the attempted appeal
of Ambassador Herrick and Sheldon
Whitehouse, beyond doubt as result
of orders from Washington to Premier
Poincare, of France.

probability following the order issued
by the United States recalling its
forces from the Rhine.
No such intention existed a few
days ago in official quarters. 1t was
thought then that the presence of the
two small forces of British and
Americans might serve to preserve
the balance between the Germans
and the arriving Frenchmen. and
minimize the danger of serious clash

however, has changed the situation
profoundly.
Ministers who have been out Of

Should the Cuno government de-
nounce the treaty of Versailles, and
reports here indicate there is strong
probability she will, holding that
French action in the Ruhr justifies
such action, complications will multi
ply and the crisis become infinitely
worse.
The Berlin government is seeking
to enlist the support of the Socialists
for the purpose of formal treaty de-
nunciation, and if it Is successful in
this effort, as seems quite possible
now-the executive committee of the
Information Federation of Trades
Unions, sitting at Amsterdam, having
appealed to all organized workers to
protest against Frances action in the
Ruhr-the situation will require the
most delicate handling, in the judg-
ment of British authorities.
If the treaty is denounced swiftly

whole. be pleased, for it is feared that
with things as they are. the situation
may shortly get to the point where
conferences of financial experts would
cease to be of any value.
