What Lands Did.

IN Wednesday, October ID,
~ Judge Lands, as commits
sioner of baseball, kept more
than 10000 fans sitting in a
driving drizzle for upwards of an
hour before deciding the weather
was not conducive to good base
ball.
On Thursday, October Is, Judge
Lands, as commissioner of base
ball, kept the Pittsburgh and
Washington clubs battling for the
world series before more than
10000 fans through drizzle and
in a heavy mist, smoke and fog
which under ordinary season con-
ditions, would have brought a
halt after the fifth inning.
Following the series Judge Lam
dis suddenly discovered that those
10000 fans were a bit peeved
and so he issued the information
that next year the season would
close earlier and the world series
naturally, open earlier.
The judge is a fair second
guesser himself.

The other day some wiseacre in
England announced that British
girls, because of their athletic
activities, were losing the slim
ankles marking them for genera
tions. The American girl has
shown no especial sign of this
terrible evil, but the American
girl is generally farther advanced
than her British sisters.
It is not so long ago that girls
engaged in no more brutal game
than tossing bean bags. Today she
plays baseball, field hockey, bas-
ketball, golf and swims and takes
part in all forms of track sports.
1t may be many, many years
before our girls will make rec
ords to compare with those their
brothers are making, but to have
them making any records at all
means much to the nation.
But-and this means you, Mr..
Man-don't laugh at the girls.
They are rapidly learning to take
care of themselves.
And who would stop them?

McGraw Is at Work

'NN SCAAo SOI1Ll AANNA~W Has
Il topped the National League.
He has done so by eliminating all
sentiment in the handling of bust
ness, which is winning pennants
for New York.
Whenever McGraw's team has
failed, he has never hesitated in
tearing it apart. He has never
hesitated to make trades he be-
lieved of value to the New York
club, even at the expense Of IA
vorites among New York fans.
Baseball, to McGraw, is just sheer
plain business.
The Giants just barely won the
1924 pennant. They failed by
quite a margin to win this years
flag. Therefore, from New York
come whispers of changes booked
for the Giants. Very likely they
are based on facts, too, for John
McGraw knows that his Giants
will have to be strengthened
greatly if they would even make
a strong fight against the VIC
torious Pirates in 1926.
Between now and the opening
of the 1926 major league cam
paign there will be much talk
hither and yon, round and about,
concerning deals and trades in
volving the New York Giants.
You may depend upon it, too, that
when the Giants start the ball
rolling next April, they will be
stronger than they were last
April.
John McGraw is working at his
business of winning pennants for
the metropolis, that's why.

CHINA HELD CAUSE
OF KELLOGG VISIT
Grew Taking Recent Notes
From Abroad to State Sec
retary in Massachusetts.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Undersecretary of State Grew made
arrangements today to leave for
Swampscott, Mass, to meet Secretary
kellogg, who is en- route to the sum
mer White House from st. Paul.
The Undersecretary will be the
bearer of State Department exchanges
which have taken place since Secre-
tary kellogg left Washington last
week for an indefinite vacation stay
at his ST. Paul, Mimi. home, and will
submit them to the Secretary as a
basis for conferences with President
Coolidge.
There is reason to believe that the
two most important subjects to be
discussed between Secretary Kel-
logg and President Coolidge are those
regarding the Chinese and debt situa-
tions.
Farley on China Opposed.
A certain amount of reluctance has
arisen abroad toward participation in
the proposed conference on the Chi
nese question. Secretary Kellogg has
taken a stand in favor of a discussion
between the powers signatory to the
nine-power treaty of the Washington
conference relating to China and the
governments whose representatives
approved a resolution then dealing
with extraterritorial rights in the Far
East.
While none of the governments, in
cluding Great Britain, France, Italy,
Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands and
Portugal, has actually declined to par
ticipate in the conference. their OBJ
jections as to the method and time Of
such a meeting have been such as to
give Secretary Kellogg more or less
concern.
1t is the Secretary's belief that
conference should be held as soon as
possible to keep faith with China in
carrying into effect the promises stipu-
lated by the resolution and to call
upon the various governments to give
assistance toward the attainment by
the Chinese government of its desire
to reform it's judicial system and to
obtain freedom from worry over trou-
bIesome special privileges enjoyed by
foreigners in China. REIMBURSEMENT
Of extraterritorial rights in China, it
is believed here, would go far toward
the elimination OF friction between for
eigners and Chinese, a principal cause
for recent riots in Shanghai, Canton,
Peking and other Chinese centers.
Hold China Unprepared.
Opposition to participation in A
conference dealing with extraterri-
toriality has been found on the part
of several governments to be based
on the belief that the Peking gov
ernment, admittedly weak and incapa-
BILE of enforcing law and order, Is un-
prepared to assume responsibilities
which would be necessary in the
event limitations upon its political,
jurisdictional and administrative free
dom are removed.
Ratification by the French Parlia-
ment of the Washington conference
treaties, which was accomplished to-
day, while not relating directly with
the extraterritorial issue, would have
an influence on clearing away pre-
liminary obstacles to a final agree
ment.
