NAVAL LIMITATION
CONFERENCE LOOMS
AFTER FARLEY PACT
Observers in Washington Ex-
psct Conference Of World
Powers Before Spring
HOOVER HALTS BUILDING
Absolute Equality Of Fighting
Strength Of American and
British Navies Seen

Washington, July 27.-(AP)-
ward the convocation before next
spring Of a preliminary naval limi-
tation conference of the world pow
ers appear to Washington observers
Of international affairs to be null
tirlying with great rapidity.
Although official information on
the subject is lacking, they draw
their chief substance from analysis
Of the announcements made this
week by president Hoover and prime
minister Macdonald and meagrc
comments in other quarters gener-
ally well acquainted with such mat
tiers.
One of the signs into which the
~clearest indication Of such a confer
ci,ce is being read is the action of
president Hoover in p~ostponing the
construction Of three cruisers which
were to have been laid down this
fail under the 1%5-cruiser program
that became law last winter.
Agree On Parity
Still another sign that vital
foundations have been laid for q
preliminary naval conference is Wis.,
ualized OH the lasis of secretary
Stinson's explanation Of the prin-
ciple Of parity agreed upon by Prime
Minister Macdonald and Ambas-
sador Dawes as an outcome of their
discussions in England.
That principle, the secretary an
nounced, means absolute equality
of fighting strength in the two ma
vies, applying not only to capital
ships and aircraft carriers, for
which it was established at the 1922
arms conference but to all Cruisers
and other categorics Of vessels
which constitut, those navics."
The question Ct parity Of ships OF
10000 tons or less has been a
t-,ublesome one since the 1922 con-
ference in Washington. Figures
available here show that England
now has Il cruisers ranging from
$500 to 10000 tons, is building six
of 10000 tons and two Of $500,
and has made appropriations for
two Of $500 tons.
Japan Is Building
Japan has &c cruisers Of 400 to
10000 tons. is building six of TO-
600 tons, and has appropriated for
one more Of 10000 tons.
In contrast. the figures for the
United States show only 10 cruis-
ers of 1850 tons in commission, two
cut of eight 10000 ton ships pro-
vided for Under the act of l924-the
Pensacola and Salt Lake City
launched and nearly completed, and
Is more Of the 10,00O-ton type
provided for in The three-year pro-
gram which became law last winter.
While the American government
has provided for new cruiser ton
mage amounting to 100000 tons, APP
preparations have been made for
a relatively small proportion Of that
authorized construction. The British,
on the other hand, have actual APP
preparations for 397,140 ton, and
the Japanese for 213.955.
In addition to cruisers, the classes
of ships to which the British-Amcri-
can parity principle was not applied
in the 1922 agreement include de-
stroyers, submarines and other aux
iliary craft and a number of mem
bers of congress have frequently
expressed the view that all must
be brought within a limitation pro-
gram if it is to be more fully ef-
fective.

n YEW YORK. February g. The
first complete turn Of the wheel
VI In the round robin tournament
4 y for the world 1872 balkline
billiard championship today
found two Americans and a Japanese
tied for the lead.
Taking. European opponents over the
hurdles with some difficulty, in yester-
days matches, Welker Cochran of Holly
wood, and Young Jake Schaefer of
Chicago, forced their way into a triple
deadlock with Kinney Matsgyama for
the pace-setting position. Each has
won one match and lost nope. Down
in the cellar are the three European
stars-Edouard Horemans of Belgium,
the defending champion; Felix Grange
of France, and Eric HagenRacher OF
Germany.
Matsuyama started the European
debacle by trouncing Horemans in the
opening match of the tournament on
Monday night; Cochran kept the ball
rolling with a 40O-283 triumph over
Hagenlacher yesterday afternoon;
Schaefer made it unanimous by coming
from behind to whip Grange, 400 to 305,
last night.
Grange, ranked with MatSuy anna as a
dark horse" in the tourney, gave young
Jake terrific struggle all the iway, but
could not match Schaefer's brilliant
playing in the closing inningsl
The Frenchman, running 1li8 in his
fifteenth inning. had his Ameri tan rival
trailing, 292 to 257, but Schaefer
gathered fine cluster of 1915 in his
sixteenth inning and ran out THE match
with an unfinished run of eight on his
seventeenth turn at the table.
Although Cochran had nurse4d along
one string of caron1s until it totaled
1853 against Hagenlacher in thu after
noon, Schaefer's cluster of 1885 repre-
sented the finest exhibition of billiards
the tournament has so far Seenl. The
lean and dark Chicagoan had tlae balls
under perfect control, rolling upS many
of his points within an area thatla hat
could have covered.
All six contestants having Appeared
at the championship table, a glance
over the records reveals that Nfatsu-
yama has compiled the best match av-
erage to date. He averaged IS lIoints
per inning against Horemans. S9hae-
fer's average last night was % CIV.
Matsuyama will meet Grange in this
afternoons match; tonight Horenhans

w WINTER is the time

Wv and managers can in
' dulge in optimistic

for the coming season with no
rebuttal in the way OF box
scores to embarraSS them.
Once the championship cam

verSation is circumScribed by
the memorable standing of the
teams, but in the off season
they are free to indulge in
flights of fancy and express as
opinions thoughts which really
are merely hopes.
There probably have been in
stances where base ball mag

of will power, have refrained
from giving voice to their fond
expectations, but a majority
simply cannot resist the temp

That the present idle period

Harris still may be accounted
young in the game, although he has
Just finished five-year term as
pilot here, but as evidence that years
are not an influencing factor in Win
ter chatter consider the example
furnished by Roger Thorpe Peckin-
paugh, likewise an ex-NatiOnal, who
got his big league baptism nearly
two decades ago.
Peck allows as how filling the right
field berth of Homer Summa and
the perennial hunt for flychaSer to
carry on in the middle garden after
the fashion set by TriStram Speaker
may cause him some concern, but he
has bunch that Porter from Bal
timore and Averill from San Fran
cisco will plug these holes, and to
hear him tell it his infield is giving
him no concern. Peck speaking:
"There is no reason in the World
iOhy Hodapp can't play first base.
He is O. good third baSeman and q
slashing hitter We knoU that
TGUener can play shortstop and 1Oe
kno,D Lind can play second. He ,U1s
as good second bnSemGn as the
league had last year, and he 'UiH i'm
proUe. And tCe all knoaU that Joe
Set0eH can play third.
CAN these men are seasoned play
ers. 1t isn't as though we were
putting a raw youngster in an i'm
portant spot. And if anything hap
pens we have Lew FOnseca. who
can play first, second or third, and
we can always send Sewell back to
short"
Peck is inclined to soft-peda1 bit
on the prospect for adequate pitch
ing, but to compensate for any
doubts on that score the old Winter
impulse toward optimism inpelled
him to state, II wish was as sure
of the pitching as I am of the hit
ting. We're going to HIT"
Then, as clinclling evidence of the
DiruS Nth Dtich base ball n1ogllS
become inocAldted during the "of"
months, consider Bob Quinn, presi-
dent OF the Boston club, as q Speci-
men. Quinn 1UGS seasoned base
ball mdgnGte through gears OF con-
tact with the game in the American
Association before he plunged into
the big sho,1 at st. Louis, 10here his
success with the BroWns ,UGs indit-
jerent to the point OF non-eristence.
Also it is fairly well established
that having bossed a tail-ender ever
since he moved to the Hub, Quinn
has as much justification as any
body for taking an optimistic slant
at things. but he not only places
himself on record as predicting that
the Red Sox will make a lot of
pitchers suffer, he goes further:
They've got to make place for
us in the first division. don't care
which clubs fall out. or how many,
but they've got to find place for
u.s." asserts Quinn.
H0w's that for optimism?
