go, New York and Pittsburgh. Some
students of the game have conclud-
ed that st. Louis is not greatly I'M
proved while the Cubs, Giants and
Pirates r definitely better.
Cards Braced
The outlook for the clubs who
finished in the second division last
year Is not promising in view OF
the improved condition Of their ri
walls who were more fortunate last
season. The Phillies, chronic tail
enders, have perhaps taken the
longest strides, and with a break in
luck should get out Of the cellar.
A majority Of baseball's close
observers forecast a long and bit
ter struggle with the competition
continuing to the stretch. Each of
the four first division clubs of last
year has made a definite addition
70 It's strength. The Cubs have
Rogers Hornsby and his devastat-
ing bat, the Giants expect Fred
Leach to strengthen their outfield,
the Pirates have Jess Petty, a star
left handler and the Cardinals in
field has been braced by the acoui-
Sltlon Of Charlie Colbert, a great
young shortstop.
Hubbell Looks Good
Supporters of the Cubs believe
that the addition of Hornsby has
made the club. The batting leader
OF the league will add a punch
and his strong offensive is expect
ed TO carry his mates with him.
II Manager Joe Mccarthy gets
satisfactory results from his pitch
Ing staff his club should play a
prominent part in the indicated
finish fight. His infield reserve
nave not been strengthened but an
already strong catching staff has
been bolstered by a hard hitter in
Tom Angley, the former Cracker
n Georgia Tech star.
The New York Giants have been
gratified to find Andy Reese. a
greatly improved performed at sec
ond base and if he carries his ter
rifle spring hitting streak into the
regular campaign it will be diff
cult to GUST him from the infield.
Carl Hubbell, who showed himself
as a capable left handler on his first
appearance is better now and
Leach and Ed Rouse. apparently
recovered from his indisposition of
last year, will form a stronger out
field combination.
Pittsburgh is conducting an in
field experiment and has been re-
tarded in its outfield ARRANGEMENTS
by the absence Of the Waners. The
signing of on of the poisonous
brothers relieved the tension in
part but the Pirates will not be
happy until they have the elder as
well. Jess Petty supplies a touch
the pitching department has long
needed. Pittsburgh has not had an
experienced southpaw in many sea-
sons.
The Cardinals will take the field
With a re-arranged infield, includ-
ing the sensational International
league recruit, Colbert, at short
stop. He has given every indica-
ton Of being as good as he was
touted and should develop into one
OF the stars of the game. Carey

barring a SloWness on double PLAYS.

tees. The return of Walter Rotett-
ger to physical fitness will add
batting strength to the outfield.

eral tfeaty for the remuneration Of war and ono which should be push ed forward by the naval powers. MT. Kellogg, whose name is link ed with that of Foreign Minister Briand of France in the popular title of the treaty came to Washing ton at the invitation of President Hoover and Secretary Stimson to witness the ceremony of the final proclamation of the pact for which he worked so strenuously while in office.
 | At the outset" he told the Asso- ciated Press in an interview, T want to express my full appreciation | of the efforts of Foreign Minister Briand of France in the part which he played in cooperating in the final consummation of the effort toward the preservation of world peace.
 Briand Originated Plan
 M. Briand first initiated the peace effort in his message to the Amen- can people through the Associated ! Press on the occasion of the anni- versary of Americas entrance into the World War little more than two years ago. Since that time, we nearly all of the nations of the world and l am entirely confident that it will be accepted by all of the nations"
 Asked what he considered the most effective way of making the , treaty a certain means of preserving | peace. he pointed out that it's value l had been demonstrated in two major world disputes which have develop ed since it was signed in Paris last August, He remarked that it had | played large part in leading to- ward an amicable settlement of the present breach between China and Russia and said he believed it also influenced the preservation of peace between Bolivia and Paraguay in their dispute last December over the Gran Chaco. The latter dispute. he observed, is now the subject of commission of inquiry and concii- ation meeting in Washington, while any immediate outbreak of war has been avoided in the Russo-Chinese controversy.
 Interested in Subject Naval disarmament, he contin- ued, has been a subject in which l have always been deeply interest | ed. 1 consider it a natural imple- ment to the anti-war treaty and a step which, if carried out, would be of tremendous moral effect upon the world. It is a moral effort of the nations in the right direction anl one which should go on."

Another very fine good turn was the work done by the campers in pulling gooseberry bushes for the state forestry department to he D eradicate the blister rust which is in vading the many stands of pine in Woodstock.

 If Macdonald visits the United States in October to resume naval discussions, "he will find a univer- sal Welcome,' President Hoover de- clared in a formal statement con- corning reports of the premiers declarations in parliament yesterday.
 Watching the British declaration that a considerable naval program had been suspended, President Hoover announced three cruisers now scheduled to be laid down in the fall would not be begun "unti there has been an opportunity for full consideration of their effect upon the final agreement for parity which we expect to reach.'

I British navy we're regarded as almost
 certain to oppose it. In other quar- ters there was consderable pertur- bation over the possible effect of
 suspension on unemployment.
 Some of London's leading papers 1 today made no editorial comment on the action. The Liberal Daily News
 expressed it's approval of the gov ernment's "good start and fixed upon the premier's statement that he was cooperating with the admiralty as indicating fact of immense 1m- portance which alters the whole problem and makes success both easier and more probable"
 The Liberal Chronicle heartily welcomed the proposed changes in the program as an ''installment Of
 much needed naval defation" and regarded the suspension of work as
 "a friendly gesture to the United States"
 The government organ, the Her iald, viewed the premier's statement as a good omen on the "day of the pact and hoped the restrictions on
 building would be only prelude to a far bigger reduction in the future.
 The Post conservative, raised the
 voice of the big navy champions loudly, speaking of government
 "tampering" with the naval program and dwelt upon the "already made quate strength of British cruisers It declared the governments pro- posals must gravely aggravate the danger of Britain's position
