Bancroft May Be Named
 Ambassador to Japan

Washington, Aug, eG,--Edgar A. Bancroft, a widely known Chicago
 lawyer, probably will be appointed
 in the near future as American ann bassador 10 Japan.
 X formal inquiry as to his &C., ceptability has been sent 10 Tokio by the state department and 1t Is
 understood the Japanese government
 decided to respond favorably. Mir. Bancroft will succeed Cyrus
 F. Woods, who recently resigned. It
 is expected in official quarters that
 formal notification of the Toliio got-
 ernments decision will be made
 known to the Washington govern ment soon. Both state department
 and Japanese embassy officials, however, declined today to make any statement.
 When the Toliio reply is official ly reported to Secretary Hughes, fol- lowing the accepted diplomatic cus- tom, it will be conveyed to Presi- dent Coolidge, who then will an- nounce publicl ythe appointment. It Ii sexpected that the designation of the new ambassador will take the form of a recess appointment rather
 than be permitted to await until
 congress convenes in December and the senate is given an opportunity to confer the selection.

 There has been a heavy increase in the consumption Of tobacco. as the average Italian used to spend ains lire every year on his smokes md now spends 6s,

HORNSBY SWATS
 PILL FOR LEAD
Yde Still Leads Pitchers In National But
 Vance Climbs

The tremendous clouting of Rogers Hornsby for the past week or ten days not only has boosted the National leagues star hitter to impressive fig ures, but also has been the chief fac tor in giving his team the lead in team batting. According to figures that in- clude games played August 2S the Cardinals, with a team average of ,297, were just a point ahead of the Giants, who had held batting honors until recently. The lowly state of the Cards in their pennant race is plainly due to ineffective pitching, as figures on runs allowed opponents show.
 Yde of Pittsburg has strong hold on the pitching honors of the National. based on percentage of games won, with his eleven victories and but one defear. Vance boosted his number of victories to 9 during the week, including q notable game in which he added to his already impressive strikeout record, now near 200 for the season. Vance has struck out more batters than he has allowed safe hits and in 237 innings has allowed but 69 runs.

WHITE VICTOR
 AT ASHEVILLE
Tennessee Champ Wins Spectac-
 ular Match From Camp

ASHEvILLE, N. C., August 30.- Thomas J. White, IT,. of Memphis. to- day won the championship of the Ashe- vile Country clubs annual summer mems golf tournament, defeating Clar- ence Camp, Ocala, Fla, star, 6 and 5 in the 36-hole final event of the first flight.
 The match was the most spectacular of the tournament and every one of the 31 holes played was thoroughly earned. White had his opponent four down in the first five holes and it looked as if the winner would walk away with the honors. He lost the fifth hole, how ever, and barely succeeded in getting a half on the next. He regained ground on the eighth hole, driving almost into the cup. Again he lost and was 2, 8, 2. and up, until careless putting on the fifteenth hole lost him his only advan- tage.
 He got the last two of the first IS after brilliant drives which gave him advantageous lies. In the second IS he won the first hole, lost the second and third after Camp had made an eagle three, driving the green and won the sixth. Again he lost his advantage and had hard time keeping up with his opponent, especially on the green. But his long, straight drives, saved him and he won steadily all the remaining holes except the eleventh which was halved in the brilliant lives.
