as early as 1857 Chicago reserved enough space
from the stockyard district for several dia-
monds. Rockford, Ill, offered competition.
Indeed so great had the fame Of the Middle
western teams become that Washington's Ma
tionals shortly after they had returned from
shouldering muskets instead Of bats sailed
forth to put them in their place. The Nation
ais, who toured in 1867, were Government
clerks, but they played like ball players.
REORGANIZATION Of the National Asso-
n ciation had taken place in 1866, with 2OO
enrolled clubs This meeting marked the be-
ginning of postwar enthusiasm. Even during
the days of civil conflict, however the game
did not languish. BY the end Of the civil war
players were being transferred from one city 10
another for . stipulated sum, following the
custom started by A. J. Reach, who went from
Brooklyn to the Athletics
Then in 1862 came the greatest change the
game had known since its inception Profes-
sionalism, barred in 1859, came to stay with the
creation OF Harry Wrights famous Cincinnati

to California, without defeat, winning 81
games They played before 200 900 people and
were pioneers in popularizing the game.

in New York and q loose -jointed organisation
embracing teams in Philadelphia, Chicago, New
York CITY, Troy, Fort Wayne, Cleveland and
Rockford came into existence. The Athletacs
took the first series, with Boston second In
the next six years, Boston won five victories.
Thus with money" backing base ball, the pro-
fession saw a rapid rise. The American Asso-
ciation was born in 1881 and lasted 10 years.
The first national agreement between this

Minor leagues sprang up rapidly. After the
death of the American Association, IL clubs
formed the National League and divided seasons
were played, with a series between the Two
leaders in the Fall Another competitor was
needed and the American League sprang from
the parent group in 1900. The hrst worio
series went to Boston three years later and by
this time the game had come fully into its own
AS early as 1875, base ball scandal appeared
and it was because Of gambling and drinking
and occasional throwing" of games that the
National League of Professional Base Ban
Clubs was formed. The next 40 years saw base
ball become fully established In the favor OF
millions of Americans In the Spring OF l920
appeared what Is known as base balls darkest
cloud Some members of the Chicago White
Eox American League Club confessed that tneT
had received money to throw" games In the
world series with the Cincinnati National
League Club, which was contested in 1919.
1t was determined to effect q thorough reor-
ganization and place the supreme control IN
the hands of q competent and distinerested
person. Kenesaw Mountain Lands, q Federal
judge Of Chicago, was chosen.
One Of Judge Lands first moves was to issue
edict that the players of the Chicago Amer
ican League Club who had been involved in
the world series scandal should be barred for
ever from playing with any club in organised
base ball. This prompt action, together with
certain reforms in the politics Of the game,
restored base ball to popular favor. Landis'
word has been hnal in all base ball disputes
since.

broken up with the sudden agree
ment to withdraw four jurors.
New Jury Takes Oath
The new jury was sworn in
solemnly before Federal Judge
Henry w. Goddard as Mitchell
closely scanned the faces of the
men.
Then the business of selecting
two alternates to safeguard
against any sudden gaps in the
jury box went forward.
A few minutes later the two
safety men" were selected and
the jury Of IA men was complete.
The IA men were excused until
tomorrow, when the opening ad-
dresses to the jury will be made
and the taking of testimony
begun.
Among those taken from the
jury box was the foreman, ISidore
Amster, coffee merchant, who,
during previous questioning, had
admitted having lost money in
the recent crash of the Bank of

Taber, executive of Bradstreet g.
Co., of Rye, N. Y; Edward B.
Nesbet, purchasing agent, and
Jerome P. Corvan, garage owner,

ling financial institution of which
Mltchell was the mead until ne
resigned under pressure, last Feb
ruary 26.

be necessary to choose two alter
nate jurors. These latter two will
serve as safety men" in the
event of sickness of the regular
jurors.

EDGE
IN EUROPE OVER
REICH ARMS
Britain'S Back Up; France and
Little Entente Jumpy As
They Listen to Hitler
BY NEWTON C. PARKE
International News Service Director o.
Foreign Service


A nervous Europe faces a show
down Wednesday, when Adolf
Hitler addresses the ReichStag to
explain just what Germany in
tends to do about increasing her
ornaments.
No declaration Of recent years
will be read with such intense
interest in Paris, London, Rome,
and other Old World capitals.
Hitler's words probably will
show the course Europe is to pur-
sue for the next decade at least
disarmament and peace, or a
revival of armament races, inter-
national rivalry and eventually
war.
Little Entente Jumpy
On the eve of the Nazi chan
cellor's pronouncement Grea q t
Britain has her back up and
France, with her little entente
satellites, is jumpy.
The British government Is de-
termined that a Facist Germany
shall not start new armament
competition in Europe, even if it
becomes necessary to call to life
the treaty of Versailles.
France, more convinced than
ever that Germany is preparing
new war of revenge, is moving
more cautiously. The govern
ment has not gone beyond For
eign Minister Paul-Boncour's re-
minder that the Versailles treaty
is still in effect:
U. S. Support Hinted
The French press, always amen
able to suggestions from the for
eign office, is discussing the arm
ament demands of German For
eign Minister Won Neurath and
War Minister Won Blomberg with
considerable restraint, apparently
hoping the German statements
alone will inspire world sympathy
for France. Say the French:
"See, we cannot diSarm at
Geneva when Germany is pre-
pairing for war;"
And to bolster French opinion,
former Premier Edouard Herriot.
just back from Washington, init
mated in a speech at Marseilles
that Presi ent Roosevelt had
given him strong assurances Of
American support in the arms
controversy with Germany.
League Court Factor
Herriot's words might we'll be
twisted by skilled French propa-
gandists into assurances that
American soldiers would be going
back cover there" to aid France
in a new war, regardless Of the
actual facts.
Talk in England and in France
Of reoccupation of the west bank
of the Rhine if Germany goes
ahead with her armament plans
appears, however, to be decidedly
premature.
But the allies, it Is suggested in
Paris, could abandon the Laus-
anne reparations agreement on
the ground that the United States
has failed to cut foreign debts,
revert to the Young plan, obtain
a League Court verdict that Ger
many had defaulted on Young
plan payments, and thus legally
reoccupy the Rhineland.

Modified. Macdonald Plan Is
Basis of Stand Urging
Cuts by Other Powers

B E r LIN, May Is O.N.S0.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler will sub
init to the ReichStag and world
opinion on Wednesday new dis
armament plan, designed to allay
international suspicion that Ger
many is preparing for new war.
His proposal will be based upon
that laid before the Geneva dis
armament conference by Premier
Macdonald of Great Britain and
strongly supported by the United
States.
Wants Others to Cut
But he will insist upon impor-
tant notifications to strengthen
Germany's claim to arms equality.
A significant declaration was
made in this afternoons edition
of the Deutsche Allgemeine lei
tung by DR.. Fritz Klein, outstand-
ing editor and close to the foreign
office. He said:
Hitler does not want war.
Peace is in sight"
Germany, Hitler will tell the
ReichStag, specially summoned to
hear his address, prefers not to
increase her armamentS but de-
sires that other nations scale down
their existing military establish
ments.
Avoids BelIigerency
This information, received from
authentic sources, confirmed In
ternational News Service advice3
of Saturday that the chancellor,
while fully and aggresively de.
Tending Germany's position, wilt
carefully avoid a display of bel
Ggerency.
The main features Of his ad-
dreS have been drafted and it is
understood Hitler is preparing it
today in consultation with his
cabinet ministers.

Davis Hints Pact May
Anticipate Hitler Speech

PARIS, May is 0.N.S0 I'M
portant progress toward a four
power agreement by the United
States, Great Britain, France and
italy, designed to prevent collapse
of the Geneva Disarmament Con-
ference over Germany'S arn1a-
ment demands, was recorded here
today.
Norman H. Davis, American am
bassador-at-large, declared after
q talk with Foreign Minister
Joseph Paul-Boncour that further
conversations will be necessary,
but he believes success eventually
will be achieved.
For COnciliatOry Tone
The agreement, it is under
stood, provides for a four-power
declaration, couched in most con-
ciliatory terms and with sympa-
thetic references toward Ger
many's position, that will induce
the Reich to continue participa-
ton in the disarmament efforts.
It may be issued before Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler makes his dis
armament speech before the
Reichstag Wednesday night.
Davis refused comment on dec
clarations by former Premier Her
riot, in a speech at Marseilles,
that President Roosevelt had
promised general support of the
disarmament stand of France
and Great Britain, in opposition
to Germany.
Young Plan Cited
With France launched on a
"stronger policy" toward Ger
many as a result of the latter's
insistence on arms equality, Off
Gals predicted the possibility that
a return may be made to repara-
tions payments by Germany un-
der the terms of the Young Plan.
Germany was virtually relieved
of these payments under the
Lausanne agreement last year,
but it was intimated measures
may be taken to force the Reich
to resume the payments. These
intimations followed the Herriot
speech at Marseilles in which he
said collapse of the Lausanne
agreement would revive the rep
arationS plan.
