ask what the late news had on Lazzeri.

"that he would wind up at
Cleveland with Witt. They're
pretty close, you know. But,
gee, / dunno"
In not knowing Joe has plenty OF
company. The tip was out that
Lazzeri either wanted to be manager
or wanted to retire to his native San
Francisco. Tony was quoted on this,
too. and with Cleveland having habit
of firing managers in mid-season 1t
is to be supposed that Lazzeri's pres
ence as a coach at Cleveland would
constitute a threat to Wits seat in the
saddle, no matter what their friend

Not Linked With Browns.
A T THE moment the Browns are the
- only major league club likely to
make a managerial change before the
1888 season opens. Somehow the
critics have steered away from linking
Lazzeri with the Brownies. They
strongly prefer hooking up Tony's

stop Japan in China is what other
powers. especially Great Britain,
are eager to know. The people OF
the United States also would like to
be informed in that matter. The
British statesmen wish America to
take the lead, and also they would
like the suggested conference Of the
nine-power treaty signatories to be
held in Washington. This latter sug-
gestion is definitely opposed in our
capital. and so it was believed
Brussels might be selected as the
meeting place. Cities in Switzer-
land also were considered.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who conferred with
Secretary of State Hull, Undersecre-
tary Sumner Welles and Norman
Davis, his rowing ambassador, was
represented as being strongly
averse to taking a solitary lead in
the action to check the japanese.
Apparently he preferred that the
"quarantining" Of nations guilty Of
international lawlessness" which
he proposed in his Chicago speech
should be limited to a united inter-
national moral stand.
The National Council for Preven-
ton of War, representing a part Of
the extreme peace sentiment in the
United States. announced that its
annual meeting had declared for i'm
mediate invocation of the neutrality
law which the President has not
seen fit to put in operation. The
council was strongly against boy
colt on Japanese goods, believing
this would only aggravate the situ-
