SPEAKER URGES HELP FOR LEGU|A
Prof. Reeves Would Assist De-
 posed Peru Official

Williamstown, Mass, Aug 28 LF A suggestion that the American government act to protect the life of Augusta B Laguia. deposed pres ident of Peru-was advanced by Prof Jesse S. Reeves of the University of Michigan at the round table on Pan- American problems at the Institute Of Politics today.
 He declared such action would be "out of respect for and appreciation of man, who, in spite of his faults, accomplished more for the develop ment of Peru during his Il years In office than is to be found in any similar period of its history" Believes Action Possible He said since we would be acting upon a humanitarian motive. it is not likely that the tender of our good offices would be construed as an act of intervention.
 In the round table conference on limitations of armaments. Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn, chief Of staff of the United States fleet said the United States should join the League of Nations "as the only logical means of taking a positive action towards the stabilization Of world peace"
 The preventive and security pro- visions of the league covenant are It's most important features, he said, and these features have been ob- scured and their importance dis credited in public opinion by the league's insistence upon disarma- ment as it's most immediate and Urgent undertaking
 Points Out Progress
 He pointed to the achievements pf limitation Of armaments at the Washington and London conferences ls forming the most potent infu- nee working toward the preserva- ion Of peace and future reduction ,f armaments,' he said the United 'tates should retain her present all host preponderent influence in this novement by meeting other powers on their own grounds of military ecurity.' Present naval arrla- hents. he said. are excessive throughout the nations.
 Yusuke Tsurumi, former member f the Japanese imperial diet, told hembers of the round table con- erence on the far eastern situation rat there lis no reason why the hree major naval powers cannot ork out a new>concord in which a sw China policy should be formu-
 ted" If the growing desire of the ew democracy of Japan is clearly nderstood. For Japan's own exist bee as well as for the peace of the orld, this concerted action IS es-
 ntial" he declared

P. M. i. CONVINCED
 OF LIKELY SAVING
Post Office Department May Buy 100 Buildings Now Leased

Washington, Aug. 26.-(UP)-1n- vestigation of the postal leasing sit uation in various cities has convinc- ed Postmaster General Brown the government could save s10,000, 900 in the next 20 years by buying more than 100 buildings now under lease, 1t was learned today.
 Brown is planning to transmit to congress next December q list of the cities and sites where he believes 1t would be best for the governmnt to buy properties now being rented. Meanwhile, the department is in formally inquiring into prices of the properties sought.
 The department spends annually s18,000,000 for rental of postal buildings. This system was assailed in congress during the last session when it was charged that excessive rentals are being paid in many cases. Acting under authority of the Blaine resolution, a senate subcommittee is now inqulring separately into post al leases.
 Cooperating With Senate
 Acting Postmaster Coleman told the United Press today the depart ment had been making it's own in quiry for six months and also has co-operated with the senate con- mlttee by giving it all needed data.
 Charges that the post office is paying higher rentals than war ranted by property values were vigorously denied by Coleman, who declared the government is paying less in most cases than adjoining lessees. He said this was made pos sible because business men have ot- fered lower rent to obtain a sub post office in their neighborhood.

Official. Once Skeptic,
NouO Likes Night Game

CHICAGO, June 3 &C. p. Az
Night base ball now has been on
trial long enough to be termed a
moderate success. Eleven minor
league clubs have committed them
selves to give the innovation a try
out this season, and it is certain that
with such encouragement electrical
manufacturing concerns will en-
deavor to improve the illumination
until it is thoroughly satisfactory to
both players and fans.
Secretary Taylor, the Des Moines
sports authority, who first viewed Lee
Keyser's experiment In the Iowa
city with considerable doubt, is well
sold on the idea. His opinion of
night base ball is:
THAT players can see the ball at
all times and make no more errors
than in daylight. That the batting
is lust as robust, and If any player
is handicapped by the lights, 1t is
the pitcher. No ball batted on the
Des Moines field has gone high
enough to be out of sight unless it
passed out of the park. Players of
both the home and visiting teams
are very enthusiastic over the way
the night games are working out, and
the fans are well satisfied"

PILLS DOWN CARDS
BY A STRONG FINISH
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The lowly Phils, battling to get out of
the cellar, have turned back the first
Western assault in the National League
this season. While all other major
league clubs rested yesterday in pre-
pairing for general East-West engage
mentS, the PhiS outslugged the st.
Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia, 9-6, in
a preliminary skirmish of intersectional
warfare.
The victory lifted the Phils a half
game closer to seventh place, while the
Cards, league leaders not long ago, now
hold lead of only one game over the
fourth place Pittsburgh Pirates and trail
the second place Cubs by one full game.
The Cardinals apparently had yester-
inning, when Chick Hafey hit Collins
for home run with two on, bringing
the total count for the inning to four
runs. The Cards touched Collins for
two more runs in the fifth, but could
do nothing at all with Ace Elliott, who
relieved him ir the seventh. Bill Hal
lahan, the Cards speedball ace, sailed
along smoothly for three innings. but
the Phils reached him for pairs of runs
in the fourth and fifth innings.
Entering the seventh the Cards held
a two-run lead but Hallahan was driven
out of the box in the last half of that
frame as the Phils rushed into the
lead with three runs. Bell pitched the
rest of the game and was nicked for two
more runs in the eighth. Arthur Whit
ney was the batting star Of the day,
with two doubles and two singles.
The American League scored two VIC
tories over the National in exhibition
games. The New York Yankees de-
feated Cincinnati, 8-5. and the Phila-
delphia Athletics conquered Pittsburgh,
90.

Not so long ago it was agreed among
local sandlot fans that the Government
League would develop into the closest
and best of the five week day league
races, and yesterdays game between the
Union Printers and @. P. o. proved that
the dopesters were not far wrong.
A hit off the bat of Dixie Desper,
Typo catcher, was the spark, so to speak,
that set the Union Printer fire raging.
1t awoke the Typos out of slumber,
and when the final out was registered,
they had pounded the offerings of Bob
Lyon for eight hits. including double,
triple and homer, and used the two
errors by AL Schneider in the eighth
inning to such good advantage that
the league leaders were beaten, to 3,
and had their lead cut down to half a
game.
This afternoon, unless a tie game re-
suits or the unforeseen appears, G. p.
o. will be sharing the lead with either
Naval Hospital or Interstate, as these
two teams clash.
The newly organized, but ancient
Anacostia Eagles, whe opened their sea-
son in the Capital City League with a
10-to-4 victory over the Columbia
Heights Business Mems team, is back
where it started from. The game was
thrown out because Sam Haas, who
played four innings and signed with the
Eagles. is said to have previously signed
with st. Joseph's.

Harris Confident Detroit VIII Climb aey Appears fright for BaH
Sharkey and Schneling
Both Are Calm Persons
BY BENNY LEONARD,
Retired Undefeated Lightweight Cham
pion of the World

Retired Undefeated lightweight Cham
pion of the World.
ENDICOTT, N. Y. June 3.-Max
Schmeling and Jack Sharkey are
on a par in one thing-both of
them are without a single worry at
this stage of their training for the
big fight.
I spent several days with Sharkey
last week, and while he shows more
of the tension that sometimes at
tacks big fighters in the stretch Of
their training grind, still it was
merely the result of his strenuous
work and not because of any out
side agency that he was bit
temperamental.
Sharkey, however, is naturally the
more temperamental of the two.
Schmeling seems to be without a
nerve. At least he hasn't a jumpy
nerve in his system. If he has, then
nobody has been able to locate It or
touch it up to date.
I have told you Sharkey looks
good. He looks very good. And
Schmeling, too, looks fine. One
might say, almost too fine physical
ly, but still insist he needs plenty
of work.
Max is learning rapidly how to
fight. He is a greatly improved
battler. In his most recent work.
outs he has been showing more and
more stuff. Yet he tells me he has
shown nothing.

HOME RUN STANDING
43 of 165 A. L. Games
Decided by Single Run

CHICAGO, June (R.--American
~ League clubs have acquired the
one-run habit.
Henry Edwards, keeper of records
for the junior circuit, reveals that
43 games out of the 165 played so
far this season in the league have
been decided by a single run-a
record for close contests despite the
general collapse of pitchers.
The world champion Athletics so
far have displayed the biggest punch
in the close battles, winning seven
out of eight. The Boston Red Sox
were the weakest in the pinch,
losing IL of their 16 "one-run"
games.
Chicago has won out of 9 games
by one run, Cleveland 5 out of IL,
Detroit 3 out of 10. New York out
of IL, st. Louis 8 out of IA and
Washington out of Z.
"All of which explains big reasons
why Philadelphia is In first place
and Boston Is in last place." Ed
wards said.
