Defeats during the past week
plunged the Akron Firestones into
third place in the circuit and re-
duced the Detroit Hed-Aids within
striking distance of the Kautsky

now has six victories and three

Detroit will not be in action to-
morrow.
u. S. Tires, less fortunate in league
competition, are stranded in seventh
place with four triumphs and six

WATERWAY PACT
FIGHT TO REOPEN
President Believed Ready to
Send Two Treaties to
Senate.

BY the Associated Press.
Two proposed treaties. one Of them
the highly controverted st. Lawrence
waterway pact with Canada, appear
certain Of being sent TO the Senate by
President Roosevelt early in the COM
ing session.
Little doubt exists in informed quar-
ters that the President intends to
resubmit the st. Lawrence waterway
treaty, although many look for modi-
fications in an effort to meet objec-
tions which resulted in American re-
lection in 1884
The only other treaty up for con-
sideration is that recently negotiated
at Buenos Aires-the inter- American
consultative pact.
A substitute for the American
Italian treaty of commerce and
friendship" which expires next De.
CcHlDCI, lS OculB hCSOsAdVcd. Wv AK
completion during the coming session
is regarded as unlikely.
What effect an increased Demo.
cratic majority will have on the ulti-
mate outcome of the st. Lawrence
treaty is conjectural. although its
friends have said the last election
added to their Senate strength.
The treaty met opposition in 1884
from many Democratic Senators, in.
cluding such administration stalwart.
as Lewis and Dieterich of Illinois anc
Wagner Of New York.
The inter-American consultative
pact is considered decidedly less con.
troversial than the St. Lawrence
treaty. 1t provides merely for ths
consultation Of the heads Of the q
American republics when, in the judg
ment of any one of them. an Incl.
dent arises which might endanger tn,
