ALL AMERICANS ARE SAFE
Additional Dispatches Tell Of More Than 300 Japanese Residents Kill ed When Nationalist Forces Loot City-SituatiOn Grave.

Peking May R-Scant advices from Tsinan, battle-ground of Chi nese nationalists and of Japanese troops who formed protective cordon around foreigners concen- trated there. today indicated that the situation continued to be ex- tremely serious.
 (Word was received al Shanghai from the Tsinan consulate that all Americans were safe).
 The firing which continued all day yesterday. however. ceased at 2 D. m. Four hours later a message from Tsinan said there was no more fir ing at that hour.
 Jap Women Assaulted
 Advices said several Japanese women were assaulted and killed by the southerners (nationalists) |. The naked and maltreated body of one Japanese woman was found near her countrymen's lines of defense.
 The Japanese captured from the nationalists two mountain guns, 20.- 900 shells, e.000.0Oo rounds of rife ammunition and 2,0O0 hand gre nades.
 The last information put the Jap anese military casualties up to 10 a. m. yesterday at 10 killed and 3S wounded.
 The northern government pro- tested to the Japanese legation against the sending of Japanese troops Into Tsinan on the ground that the Chinese authorities were able to maintain order
 Bcsieged By 4O,OOO
 Besieged in Tsinan by 10000 na- tionalist troops, only 5000 Japanese today were available to fight in de- fense of the foreign quarter, where persons of various nationalities have been concentrated for their safety.
 Major General Toakura, Japanese commander. took every available, man from the Tsingtao garrison and was leading forced march of 2,0OO troops along the line of the Shan tung railway to relieve their be- leagured comrades.
 There was no confirmation of the loss of any foreign lives other than Japanese. The Japanese military wireless stated that the troops were protecting other nationals. From this 1t was assumed that the two American consuls, Edward F. Stan ton and Ernest B. Price, and the remaining American residents, most ly missionaries. were inside the Jap- anese cordon. The American lega- ton at Picking has had no reports from the Tsinan consulate since May 1.
 Hard March Ahead
 The troops from Tsingtao had a difficult march of some 200 miles before them since the railway be- tween Tsingtao and Tsinan had been systematically destroyed at 8 dozen places. Advices from Tokyo said the Japanese military stores at Tsingtao were sufficient for only a few days.
 Serious international complica- tions were forecast owing to the fighting. There was much conjec- ture as to the effect of 1t on the northward campaign of the nation alists. Experts believed it would De checked until the snarl with Japan

SHARKEY IS VICTOR.
IN COMEBACK BOUT

BOSTON, December II CR.-Jack
Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, who is
assaying a comeback, won a decision
last night over Arthur Dekuh, New
York heavy.
Sharkey gave Dekuh terrific beating
in their 10-round encounter, but lacked
punch and f1nesse. He was heavy and
slow, and his timing was woefully off
with the result that he seemed unable
to land his hooks cleanly.
Although Dekuh appeared paralyzed
with fright when the bout started and
contented himself throughout with
merely staying the limit, he took al
Sharkey had and never seemed in dan
ger, except in the sixth, when Sharkey
had him down for the count of nine
But it took seven left hooks to the jaw
and a hard right uppercut to turn the
trick.
It was Sharkey's first fight since hi:
meeting in New York last April with
Jack Delaney. He weighed 194 pound
while Dekuh carried 204..

CHICAGO CONCLAvE

Figure in Deals.

| ~ HICAGO, December 1.-THE
old strategy of the would-be
David Harums, to get bushel
~ for peck, was present again
today as American League
magnates and officials assembled for
their annual business conference.
In contrast to the situation when
| Ban johnson presided, nothing but
peace and harmony was anticipated, and
the usual trading bee in the lobbies was
expected to provide the only news.
| Business procedure called for officially
naming the New York Yankees as cham
| pions for 1923 and questions of policy
| on which q definite agreement is un-
derstood to be held. There were rumors
| that the draft question and the move
| of the minors to force the major league
| clubs to sell their farms" may come up,
but President E. S. Barnard did not
| think they would.
More than a hundred American
| League players were on the trading
block and plenty of action was expected
in the player mart, however.

back to Washington for four or five
unnamed players The Yankees also
were in the market for Big Ed Morris,
the Boston pitcher who won 10 and lost
| Is games for the cellar champions last
season.
The White Sox also were ready to
barter for added strength--if it can be
done without releasing Pitchers Thomas
and Lyons and one or two other main
stays. At Toronto last week Cleveland
indicated it would trade Pitcher Uhle
and Catcher Autrey for Bib Falk and
Bill Hunnefield. but Manager Lena"
Blackburne put his foot down on the re-
lease of these two.
Cleveland has fortified itself with sew
eral outstanding purchases from the
minors since the close of the season,
but Manager Billy Evans was ready to
go still deeper into the pockets of the
owners if he could get the players he
wanted.
The junior circuit goes into its meet
ing with every club having signed its
manager. Russell Lena" Blackburne
completed the 1929 manager roster
yesterday when he signed a one-year
contract to manage the White SoX.

| the Hoya gridmen, and there is one
| date to be filled, October II. Fordham,
long one Of the Blue and Gray's stern
est athletic rivals. will not be met in
| 1929. The New Yorkers' place will be
| taken by Detroit University. 1t was ex-
planned that Georgetown, though it
would have liked to schedule Fordham,
was unable to do because a date
suitable to both schools could not be
decided upon.
Four high ranking teams will be met
by the Blue and Gray during November.
The Hoyas will be called upon to put
forth the best they have beginning No
vember 2, when they engage New York
University in New York. Following the
battle with the VioletS, the HoyaS will
meet Navy, November 9, at Annapolis;
West Virginia, November 16, in Clark
Griffith Stadium here, and will travel

Mooney, junior, and playing at a
tackle post during the past season, at
tracted attention Of gridiron critics
throughout the East. Mooney, who
comes from Chicago. has played regu-
larly for the past two seasons for the
Blue and Gray. He is expected next
season to develop into one of the best
college tackles in the country.
During the past season 1t was Moo
ney's fine kicking as we'll as sterling play
in the line that earned him praise.
His punttng of a muddy ball In
Georgetown's 7-2 victory over New York
University in the Yankee Stadium was
doubtless his most noteworthy perform
ance.
Next season will be the fourth sue
cessive campaign that Ineman has
captained Georgetown eleven. Jerry
Carroll, guard, was the leader during
the past season; in 1927, Claude Grigs-~
by. center. was captain, and in 1926.

gym, entertaining Western Maryland
The game will start at o'clock.
Against Baltimore the Hoya court
men showed well and gave indications
that they may again be expected to do
well on the court this Winter. Western
Maryland had good quint last season
and is likely to place sturdy quint on
the floor against Georgetown.

nothing untoward today in the con-
duct of either players or spectators at
the game.

will admit the holder to all basket ball,
base ball, boxing and other athletic ac-
tivities during the coming season.
Fine schedules have been arranged
in all these sports. 1t is pointed out
that the boxing schedule probably con-
stitutes the mcst attractive part of the
Hoyas' Winter and Spring program.
Each holder of an athletic book will
be given two tickets to each of these
boxing meets. No one will be allowed
to attend the ring contests who is not
a season book holder because of the
limited seating capacity. The price of

CHICAGO, December 11.-"Lena"
Blackburne, man of action, at last has
his big chance chance to lead Chi
cago,s once mighty White Sox out of
base balls wilderness. *
AS manager in his own right Of the
team, which was tumbled from its pin
nacle by the notorious "Blaek Sox scam
dali of 1919, the fiery slender Lena"
has a chance to become the miracle
man of present day base ball.
After applying his mastery of strategy
as infielder and then coach to the fall
tering team for mere than a decade,
Blackburne was called upon to pilot the
team last July, when Ray Cracker
Schalk resigned. But while the die was
seemingly cast for another poor sea-
son, Lena" did wonders with the ma
chinery left him by plotting it to .525
base ball. His reward came yesterday,
when he was named as manager for
1929 and given as free hand as any
White Sox manager ever had.
Chicago fans were elated by the news
and the general prediction was that
LENA" was the man to turn the trick.
If he does, the turnstiles at Comiskey
Park, giant stadium holding $4,000,
probably will do a land Office business
