PEKING, China. July 13.-The Pc
king government. after a verbal pro-
test by the foreign office to the Jap
anest legation on Monday, has sent
note to the japanese legation in
which it demands the Immediate with
draw Of troops from Tsinanfu and
Tsingtao, in the province of Shan
tung.
The note also demands the recall
of any further troops sent to those
cities and expresses the earnest hope
for a satisfactory early reply.
Cities Sought i'm Drive.
The Japanese government mas been
sending troops to Tsinanfu and Using
tao, in both of which cities the Jap
anese have extensive interests. Both
cities for some time have been the
objects of a drive by the Nationalist.
who seek their capture as part of the
larger plan to take Tientsin and
Peking itself.
A Reuter- dispatch from Tsingtao
yesterday said that 1000 Japanese
troops had arrived there from Dairen
and that the situation was quiet.
The note, which was made public
this afternoon, expresses astonish-
ment that the protests of the Chinese
government regarding the dispatch OF
Japanese troops to Tsingtao have not
received "due attention" by the Jap
anese government.
Charges Adv -:se Taken.
On the comfy, the note alleges,
the japanese took advantage of the
detection of some of the troops of Gen.
Sun Chuan-Fang, the Northern COM
mander in Shantung. to dispatch Jap
anese troops to Tsinanfu from Using
tao and to replace them with fresh
troops from Dairen.
The note declares that the Japanese
government, which has constantly pro-
fessed friendship for China, has thus
ignored China's protests ar1 has COM
mitted acts violating Japan's treaty
obiiy., Ions and Chinese sovereignty.
The dispatch of troops. the note says,
has created intense indignation
throughout China.

One of the handicaps tn enforcement

BASEBALL COUNCIL
 FORMS NEW RULES
Commissioner Landis and Two
 Presidents in Long Conference

Chicago, Nov. IS CP-Moribund for six years, the major league base ball advisory council has come to life with surprising vigor and formu- lated q long list of surprising addi- tions to the diamond code, to be submitted to the club owners, both major and minor, at their annual meetings next month.
 Kenosaw Nj. Landis, baseball commissioner, discussed matters with President Heydler of the Ma tional league and F.. S. Barnard. new president of the American league, for many hours yesterday and still there were problems unsettled, car ried over to today's session.
 The trio went over the problems arising since the Ban Johnson Landis dispute caused the virtual dissolution of the council. after 1921. and formulated q rule calculated to block such controversies as last win ters dispute between Rogers Horns by, transferred 10 the New York Giants. and his retention of St. Louis Cardinals stock.
 No player could own stock even Tn his own club except under the oX- press approval Of the council. the new rule says. and when transfer red he must dispose of his stock or become ineligible.
 Clubs or their officers or league officials must not loan money to or assist in obtaining loans for another club. and loans to umpires. by clubs, players or other baseball characters come under the ban.
 Cash presents 10 umpires for un- official scouting also were forbidden. players who have been in the majors for three years cannot be sent back to the minors under option.
 The new rules will be ready for adoption by the club owners at their December sessions. So far, I.andis said when the council meet ing broke up last night, the draft question has not been reached.

 to Oppose Locals

\ schedule designed 10 bring the best amateur teams in southern New England to this city is being ar ranged for the Boys club basket ball team by Superintendent Dwight skinner, who has already booked 10 contests which will carry the quin- let through January 21. There will be fewer independent teams on the schedule this year, as these usually proved Hops" and more games with other Boys clubs and other regular organizations arc being ar ranged. with home-and- home series the goal.
 The schedule. as completed to date. is as follows:
 Monday, November oS-Athletics of MiddletoWn here.
 Monday, December 5-Watcrbury Boys club here, Saturday, Decem- r, Waterbury Boys club at Water bury. Monday, December 12, Middle town '. M. C. A. here. Monday. De- cember 19. Emeralds Of Hartford here.

 At present the club has only five men on it's first squad as Nick Gill and "Red' Compag gnone are on the infrm list. The latter is expected to be able to play when the season starts, but 1t is considered doubtful os to whether Gill's injured fingers will permit him to open the schcd- ule with the quintet. The team which Coach Anderson is now using consists of Grusha and Joe Goffa, forwards: John Kley, center; and Pete Silva and Albert Benjamin, guards. Last night this team won its annual practice victory over the South church five in a fast and fur ious roughhouse. Kley demonstrated tii'tt l' 10 even Dtlt'i tildll lttSt N'di . when he led the teams scorers, and much is expected of him this sea son The two new men. Grusha and Benjamin, also showed evidence that they will make themselves heard from before the season is over.
 The Reserve team has Il huge squad but its starting combination will probably comprise Tony Kere- leja, Mirigliani. Zujko, Parparian and Marholin. This team wiped up the floor with makeshilt South church reserve outfit last night and appears to have considerable strength for young quintet.
