CINCINNATI, Ohio, July e.-The
curtain rose today on the grimmest Of
the all-star games, revealing, on the
firing lines Of the American and Ma
tional League teams, a gay caballero
from Southern California and a 23-
year -old son Of an unemployed New
Jersey stonecutter.
Victorious in four of the five pre-
vious dream games" the American
Leaguers were to send left-hander
Vernon (Goofy) Gomez of the
Yankees to the box for the nth time
since the all-star series began in 1893.
Gomez has opened four games so far.
getting credit for three victories and
participating in another triumphant
American League conquest. The only
game Gomez failed to start was in
1896, when the Nationals got their
only victory.
For the grimly determined National
Leaguers. the starting slabman was
to be the most sensational man in
baseball at the moment - young
Johnny Wander Nicer Of Midland Park,
N. ]. In his first full season in the
majors, Wander Nicer already has
turned in two no-hit, no-run games,
pitching them in succession. No
other pitcher in history has ever
twirled two no-hitters in single sea-
son, much less two in succession.
Scalpers Reaping Big Profit.
Not the largest crowd but easily
the most rabid throng was to witness
the game between the crack squads
piloted by Manager Joe Mccarthy of
the Yankees and Manager Bill Terry
of the Giants. For many weeks Cros-
ley Field, scene Of the battle, has been
sold out. Its capacity is only $4,000,
counting 1000 standees, and Crosley
Field is the smallest in the majors now
that the Phillies have given up anti
quated Baker Bowl. Scalpers are de-
manding and getting $40 for tickets
that sold for $1.10. At least 1000 fans
were disappointed in their efforts to
get seats.
For the first time since the second
game in 1884. Washington Senator
was named to start in the American
League lineup. He was 21-year-old
John Kelly Buddy Lewis, brilliant
third baseman from Gastonia, N. c.
In a surprising announcement Mana
ger Mccarthy yesterday announced
that Lewis would play third base and
bat eighth in the American League
batting order. It was felt that Robert
tRed) Rolfe, third baseman of Nc
Carthy's Yankees, would be the man
to get the nomination. Role played
the entire game last year for the
Americans.
Two other Senators are on the
American squad. They are Shortstop
Cecil Travis, 25-year-old roommate
OF Lewis, and Catcher Rick Ferrell, q
veteran Of 10 years in the majors.
Mccarthy named Joe Cronin of Bos-
ton to play shortstop and Bill Dickey
OF the Yankees to catch today. Travis
was to be used as . pinch hitter. If at
all, and it was doubtful II Ferrell
would play.
Gehrig Misses First Game.
The Yankees. with six players, and
the Reds, with five men, are providing
most Of the talent On the Yankee
contingent, Dickey, Gomez, and Out
fielder Joe Di Maggie were named in
McCarthy's starting lineup. This

China At The Beginning OF 1888
At the beginning of another year,
1898, less than two decades after
the termination of the war which
was fought for the purpose Of
"making the world safe for democ
racy,'' and forever to outlaw war as
a means of settling international
disputes, we find the world filled
with wars and rumors of war, and
a large part Of it's population gov.
erned by the iron hand of dictators.
However, in spite of the many
and extended preparations for war,
it now appears very unlikely that
1898 will witness the outbreak Of
hostilities among any Of the major
powers. Especially is this true Of
the United States, whose attitude
toward war was subjected to real
and trying test by the unfortunate
bombing Of American war and com
mercial vessels navigating the
Yangtze river by the Japanese air
forces, engaged in pursuit OF
Chinese troops fleeing from Nan~
king. Leaving out of consideration
the outbursts of the small Chauvin.
istic section of the press, the people
Of the United States appear to be
quite unwilling to add to their al
ready numerous domestic difficult
ties the hazards and uncertainties
of a more or less futile war in the
orient.
In the first place, it is generally
accepted that the japanese bomb
ing of our vessels, in the war zone,
was not officially authorized. japan
has everything to lose and nothing

to gain by sacrificing our good will
and friendship.
At the very time the deplorable
incident occurred, Japanese bank
ers engaged for shipment to the
United States nearly $12,O0,000 in
gold, thereby bringing the total Of
to the United States, since March,
1887, to more than $245,OO0, 900.
We also recognize that japanese
expansion in the orient is but the
logical result of the operation of
biologic and economic laws. Japan
has many million more mouths to
feed than it has either the soil to
produce necessary food or essential
raw materials to manufacture into
commodities which can be exchang
ed for food and to meet the de.
mands of the increasing standard
of living. A war, which would drive
Japanese political and industrial i'll
terests out Of China, can in no man
ner solve these problems.
Another aspect of the situation is
the fact that the present japanese
conquest of China differs only in
degree, and not in kind, from our
own and British aims in the orient.
The presence of our military and
naval forces in China, country
with which we profess to be at
peace, clearly shows that we do not
trust Chinese authorities to protect
our commercial interests and in
vestments located there. Since the
beginning of present hostilities the
number of Americans in China has
decreased from more than 100000

in the event of a German invasion
The restoration of German colonies
would be powerful weapon with
which to weaken, if not break, the
Italo German pact, but it involves
many different problems.
If German East Africa were re
turned it would be over the pro
tests of the union and, perhaps, at
the price of it's withdrawal from the
British federation. Togoland and
the Cameroons, midway up the west
coast, could be returned with lit
tie sacrifice to either Britain or
France, but, alone, this would not
be acceptable to Germany.
In view of Germany's bid for air.
ways, the former German Islands in
the Pacific must be taken seriously:
however, the Carolines, Ladrones,
Marshall and Pelew, the most
northern ones, are under mandate
to Japan, and japan would not give
them up to please Britain and
France
Australia and New Zealand have
the Bismark Archipelago, the Sol
onions, former German Somoa AMI
New Guinea A request from Lon
don to return them would not meet
with cheers in Canberra and Wei
lington. In this age of air power,
strategically located islands have
become valuable, and both Aus
tralia and New Zealand are looking
to their defenses from threats near
er than Berlin
Some kind of record was made
when Mussolini declared himself in
favor of restoring to Germany her
lost African colonies. This is but
one example of the political situa.
tions in Europe and illustrates the
decentralization into which it has

Britain and France are to return

dream of doing that? But diplom.

to about 5000. The number of our
troops stationed there has been in
creased, however, by 1900 men
constituting about one soldier for
every American remaining in that
country
1t will be recalled that China, at
the Washington arms conference,
in 1921, and 1922, strongly urged
the reduction of foreign garrisons.
Althougha commission of inquiry
was proposed, at that time, nothing
has been done about the matter.
Technically, our soldiers and war
ships are in China for the purpose
of protecting American lives and
property, the latter being valued at
about $30O,0OO,0 1000. Actually, our
troops closely cooperate with the
military forces of other nations, in
safeguarding the interests of all
foreigners, wherever danger may
threaten.
At the beginning Of the present
conflict we maintained a force con
sisting of 20 officers and 500 ma
rines, guarding the American en-
bassy at Peiping; about 1900 men
and officers of the 4th Regiment of
marines were at Shanghai, and 735
officers and men of the 18th United
States Infantry were at Tientsin.
Since that time some 1900 addi-
tional officers and men of the 9Th
Regiment of Marines were ordered
overseas to strengthen the force at
Shanghai. American marines and
infantry are in China partly because
Of treaty rights and partly because
Of the necessity Of protecting cer-
tain American interests. The ma
rine guard at Peiping and the 18th
infantry owe their status to the so
called Boxer protocol of 1901,
which concluded the anti-foreign
outbreak in China generally known
as the Boxer Rebellion. The 4th
marines. on the other hand, mere
