CONFIDENCE IN

Rome, Dec. 12.-"I go back ia

Austen Chamberlain, British foreign
minister, delivered at an impressive
public session of the Leagues coun-
ell.
While the council probably will
continue to sit two days more. Mir.
Chamberlain will start back for Lon
don today.
I office apparently is immensely sat
isfied with his trip to Italy He has
succeeded in putting off a discus
sion by the council Of the Geneva
peace protocol until the March SEES
sion SO that England may have time
to consult her dominions in it's car
dinal features which excited their
opprehcnsions. He has sidetracked
up to the moment Of his leave tax
ing, at least, all attempts to obtain
the councils intervention in the
Anglo Egyptian conflict and he has
had satisfactory conversations with
Premier Mussolini in the direction
of establishing closer cooperation
between Great Britain and Italy .on
Mediterranean problems,
Finally, Mr.. Chamberlain has
pleased the pope by assurances OF
constant collaboration on matters
affecting the vatican and the Brit
ISL empire as, for example, Iues-
tions touching the holy land.
But if the British foreign minis
ter has officially left the council

ending to the various issues in which
he was interested, Senator Famous

of some eleventh hour move in the
council calculated to force an eX-
animation of the Egyptian problem

OSLER' s THEORY

The theory advanced by the illus.

due to receive another setback on
the occasion Of the Olympic Games

Those who hold that track and
field men pass the peak Of their
usefulness at twenty-five were, in.

runners in the world in the 500.

that Hannes Kohlemainen at twenty

the Marathon race.
Koly, at thirty-three, is out to re.

The American "old men" athletes

YOUNGP|TCHERS
GET BETTER
CHANCE
More Exhibition Games Put
Kid TwirIers in VIM
ming Form.

The schedules Of exhibition games
have been heightened by many Of
the major league clubs so that the
young pitchers will get plenty of
work before the season opens.
The failure of so many recruit
pitchers to make the major league
grade is explained by one major
league manager, who points out that
in the minors the pitchers are per-
mitted to use a ball after the cover
has become rough.
Pitching in the majors with a
new ball with a smooth, shiny cover
handicaps a youngster, and he finds
he cannot control it as he did in
the minors.
In spite Of the heavy batting last
season, the pitching was an i'm.
provement over the 1922 season.
With the special attention this de.
partment of the game is receiving,
the pitching will be better during
the coming season. More attention
is given to curve ball pitching than
in previous years.
Major league managers doubt il
the batting will be as heavy next
summer. Speed pitching encouraged
home-run hitting.
There will not be so much free
swinging against curve ball pitch.
