FRENCH TARIFF
Note OPENS Up
NEGOTIATION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 GA study
of the published French tariff note
received Saturday tended today to
strengthen the impression held by
Washington officials that employment
Of the flexible provisions of the Amer
lean tariff act, as suggested by the
French, might answer their complaints
against excessive duties.
Use of the flexible provision, by
which the president can raise or lower
tariff duties based on the difference
in costs of production here and abroad,
appeared to be all the French note
requested in connection with estab-
fishing basis for treaty negotiations
which would give the United States as
favorable treatment as any other ma
Ition in French markets.
At the state department it was said
authoritatively that this government
was ready to investigate comparative
production costs, without, however,
pledging itself in advance Of the re-
suit, and also to study existing ad-
ministration of plant quarantine laws,
the pure food act and even the pro-
hibition act so far as they might dis
criminate against French goods
The French note, while containing
much argument of a controversial ma
ture, was said officially to be con-
ciliatory. The hope of the admins
aration that the way may be thus open
ed to negotiation of commercial
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-10-04

treaty was tempered, however, with
concern over the status to be given
American goods in French markets
during the interim They are burden
ed with the maximum French tariff
in certain cases and it was felt here
that pending competition of treaty
American exports should be subjected
to less severe levies.
France rejected the original Ameri-
can request for negotiations on the
basis of a most favored nation treaty
proposing instead a reciprocity pact
She also rejected at that time the
American request for restoration OF
the tariff status of American goods
prior to the French decree of August
80, pending ratification of such a
treaty.
The counter French offer was a SO
per cent reduction of maximum rates
during the negotiations, which officials
were told would have left American
products at a serious sdisadVantage in
competition with German, British or
other goods that take the French mini
mum rate.
On that basis the French so per
cent cut proposal is wholly unsatis-
factory to the Washington government
and unless more favorable tempor-
ary arrangement can be worked out

night after having driven hundreds
of families from their homes, caused

acres of farm land inundated.
At independence late today more

of the past and regret the passing

definite plan today to restore the
breach in undergraduate relations be-
tween the two universities that fol-
lowed the annual football contest last

In an effort to demonstrate to the
undergraduate bodies the 'childishness

The field has been turned over to

might act as an opening Wedge to

AUTO RACES At.
SPEEDWAY Give.
EXCITING SPORT.

In a neck to neck speed contest
in which all the drivers adopted the
motto, win or bust, with one car
wrecked on the south curve, one
burned up and one with a broken
axle, Ray Gardner, of Denver, finally
finished the 25 miies free for all alone
after having broken the time trial
record during many laps OF the fastest
and most hair raising automobile race
ever seen in the southwest.
In winning this race Ray Gardner
took the Bisbee trophy from his
brother, Chester, who had won it
twice before and would have had it
permanently il he could have stayed
this time.
The big race got off to q good
start with a record time trial of SO
seconds for the mile AS the miles
we're Tapped off the race grew stead
lily hotter with Bobby Bryan failing
Gardner SO close that no car on the
track slowed at the curves but seemed
to take them with the gas lever Gown.
Ralph Miller took the south curve
with his Studebaker and did not come
back. The car was wrecked He
WdS u1l1luIO Z. p. MOON, QrlVlng a
Dodge special, turned his engine up
SO high that it finally got too hot
and the car burned right on the
tracks. It was the goth lap of the
great 25 mile classic. Gardner and
Bryan were making lap after lap in
49.2 seconds. Bryan tore into the rail
with a broken front axle and the
crowds sat down again.
In the second Is mile event Miller
took the first money, followed over
the ribbon by Matt Palver, of Denver,
while Moon took the third money.
In the first race, also Is mile
event, Chester Gardner took the first
money with Miller second and Palver
third.
A large crowd saw the events and
the whirling, spinning, death defying
tactics of the drivers in the big race
gave the crowd all the thrill they
were looking for The weather was
fine and even the drivers reported
that the track was in very good
shape.

Another Yankee Record

Another Yankee Record
1t is a rarity when day passes
without the New York Yankees
breaking some sort of a baseball
record.
The most recent record breaking
feat came to pass on Sept. "a, when
Pitcher George Pipgras, of the Yanks
shut out Detroit, 60, making the
106th victory of the year. for the
New York club.
4 The best previous American League
mark was made in 1912 when the
Boston Red Sox won 1O5 games to
win pennant. The major league
record of 116 games made by the
Chicago Cubs in 1906 was, however,
too big a task for the men of Hug
gins to overcome.
In winning the 1927 pennant in
the American League, the Yankees
have definitely proved they are at
least 20 per cent better than last
year. when they were good enough
to win the pennant and just be
nosed out of the world series.
Great pitching by Hoyt and Wiley
Moore all season, fine work until
mid season by the rest of the staff,
much improved Lou Gehrig in all
departments, the experience that a
year in the big show gave Lazzeri
and Koenig, plus rejuvenated Ruth,
tells best the story of the New York
victory in the American League.

Tigers Won 100 in 1915.
Recently in discussing champion
ship teams that had won 100 OF
more games in the American League
I called attention to the fact that
only five had turned the trick, Phila-
delphia twice, Boston twice and
Chicago once. Now New York breaks
into the picture, making the sixth
championship team to turn in 100 OF
more victories at the close OF the
season.
My good friends, George NGoreland
calls my attention to the fact thai
the Detroit club in 1915 managed tt
win a century of games, yet finished
no better than second, since Bos-
ton registered 1O1 wins the same
year. That sure was tough breal
for the Tigers AS a rule 80 game

Really Bettered Mark

Really Bettered Mark 50
AS a matter of fact when Babe
Ruth made his SD home run of the
present season, he really bettered
his top mark of SO made in 1921.
How come? Let me explain.
In 1921, Ruth had the advantage
of rule that has since been wiped
1Nlm the playing code. He benefit
ted to the extent of seven home runs
by the rules governing a home run
that has since been changed.
The rule relative to home runs now
reads that the umpire must judge a
ball fair or foul according to where
it was when it last disappeared from
his view.
With the exception of a few years
that rule has always been in vogue.
However, back in 1920, it was de-
cided that if a ball was fair whel
