Never to Manage Ball Club

in accord Nor will he criticize the Ma
tional League, in spite Of the fact that
those with brains far less keen and who
are not in the same class with him as
students of the game know that some
thing is wrong.
The most McGraw will admit is that
there are only certain number of
youngsters of major league caliber COM
ing up each season and that, in recent
years, the American League appears to
have been getting the better of the
draw. 1t is doubtful whether he ever
will be enthusiastic concerning the
present style of base ball.
Back around 1912" he says. when
had that greatest of all base running
teams, the crowd would sit on the edge
Of its chairs every time man got to
first. The spectators knew that the
chances were the runner would try to
steal, that there would be a close play
at some base. There Is no close play
on home run.
Now the base runner and the crowd
wait stolidly to see whether the batter
is going to hit the ball inside or out
side the grounds. They have killed the
suspense which used to furnish thrills" !"
McGraw asserts that life has gone
out of base ball. 1t doesn't seem to him
that the players and crowd get excited,
as they once did. One remedy for this,
he says, might be to have fewer UNI
pires. Two. he maintains, are enough
for any ball game.
Give the umpires," says McGraw,
"a chance to make an occasional mis-
take There is nothing which stirs
players and crowd more than bad de-
cision once in a while It creates par
tlsanship and arguments. which are the
things which fill the stands. When fans
get excited about base ball games they
go to see them
1t might be suspected that the UNI
pires would not agree with this view.

In q straight player trade, Terry sent

THE deal with the Cardinals adds

expected to share that job about equally

not traded in the meantime.
Starr Is promising right-hander

Cardinal organization. He had a ban

less will become evident that England
must be wary, indeed, Of impairing the
good will of some of her chief overseas
markets which happen to figure among
the producers supplying a large por-
tion Of these imports. That is why Ar
gentina Is so actively concerned In what
Is to transpire at Ottawa.
For years the chief item of our ex-
port to England has been raw cotton,
with total of $42000,O00 last year.
This is material falling off from the
s211 ,000, 900 postwar peak of 1928, but
! the decline is indicative of the drastic
curtailment of cotton mill operations in
the United Kingdom rather than of any
particular inroads of empire-produced
cotton as against American. There
seems to be scant margin for any
high ratio Of empire preference In be-
half of that commodity, since the in
ternational competition in piece goods
is too severe to warrant any consider
able increase in costs for the British
manufacturer.
The conference, then, is faced with
weighty problems of vast magnitude,
involving ollr interests along a wide
range Of contacts. Much is hoped for
on the part Of leaders throughout the
empire as they contemplate the OPEN
ing of these crucial sessions. Indeed,
it is quite possible that Ottawa will take
its place alongside of Locarno. Lausanne
and Geneva as a major milestone in
the progress of postwar readjustment.
The empire comprises nearly quarter
of the land surface of the globe and
about the same proportion of its popu-
| lation. It may well be, therefore, as one
British observer recently remarked, that
| through the Ottawa conference the
British Empire may save itself by its
exertions and will by its example do
much toward saving the world.

Japanese.Americans
Seek u. S. Citizenship

HONOLULU, Hawaii-More than $50
Americans of Japanese ancestry have
recently taken steps to expatriate them
selves from japanese citizenship, ac-
cording to the records of the japanese
consulate here, and many more are
planning to 60 through the necessary
formalities. Action must be taken by
filing papers with the consulate, which
are forwarded to the department of for
| eign affairs in Japan
The movement among the younger
| Japanese Americans to eXpatriate them
selves from japanese citizenship is
growing fast. On the other hand, the
great majority of these young Ameri-
cans simply do not take trouble to file
the necessary papers. They feel no
| allegiance to the japanese government,
have no intention OF going to Japan to
live, and are not particularly interested
in expatriation or in their status as
Japanese citizens.
| They know that, theoretically, they
are carried as Japanese subjects, but
they have no apprehension about it
and no intention whatever Of serving
Japan. However, there Is one element
which is foremost in ridding itself Of
Japanese citizenship-that is, those in
public service. such as Territorial en-
ployes, including school teachers. Inas-
much as the Territorial law prohibits
aliens from occupying such positions,
they take the steps required to rid
| themselves of dual citizenship"
Born in Hawaii. they are full-hedged
American citizens, but to prevent any
question Of their status arising. they
| free themselves OF any claim Of Japa-
| neso citizenship.
