The latter left their home at 10 o'clock las might for visit to a neighbor and when they re- turned an hour later, the baby was missing. An alarm was immediately sounded when it was learned that the mother, Mrs. Irwin Fink, did not have the infant.

MEDIATION REJECTED

TIENTSIN, June 14.-Japanese officials rejected the British media ton attempts and incidentally wid- ened their demands on the British.
 While the Japanese gendarmes, aided by Chinese police, blockaded both the British and French Con sessions, approximately 10000 per- sons in the two Concessions were immediately cut off from all sup plies.
 The Japanese Military takes the position that the refusal of the British to hand over four Chinese for the alleged staying of a Tient- sin official is cause for the block ade.
 Demands BrOadened
 The Japanese authorities go still further and insist that surrender ing of the four Chinese will not completely settle the existing fin cident."
 The Japanese have advanced five very broad demands which it is said may be the only way out of the present dispute.
 The demands are as follows:
 First-The British must discon- tinue protection of anti-Japanese Communistic clements.
 Second-The British must cease supporting Chinese currency.
 Third-The British must cease hoarding goods in Tientsin.
 F'ourth-The British must cease using unregistered radio stations in

(By United Press)

You could find a surprising num-
Der of persons in Connecticut today

when they rect in the bowl tomor-
row.
And there are others who say the
Ellis will be new team when they
stack up against the Bruins. Coach
Ducky Pond, you will be told, pulled
a neat one by calling his team the
worst" we ever saw, merely a ruse
to get his players all steamed up.
Pond was quoted as saying he was
going to fire nine of the IL regulars.
He hasn't at all. In fact, virtually
the same team which faced Dart
mouth will be In there against
Brown, outside of one or two cor
rections.
Fred Kieckkefer, a Junior who
never has played flrst-string foot
ball, will be the starting blocking
back. In the backfield with him will
be Seymour, Burr, and Whiteman or
Harrison.
The lin, will look like this: Barth-

Brook, tackles; Dern and Burnam,
guards; and Capt. Bill Stack, center

years, said today he believed the
time had come for him to make
room for q successor who will carry
on for the good Of the PGA and the

Because he wished to avoid q
split" in the organizations ranks
Jacobus added that he would not
run for the office at the annual
meeting in Chicago, Dec. 1915.
A sultry session had been pre-
dicted, II Jacobus had run for pres
ident, because Of the difficulty al
the last National PGA tournament
In New oYrk In July over the eligi-
bility of Denny Shute.
Jacobus over-ruled his executive
committee and allowed Shute u
play after the committee had de-
creed that Denny was ineligible be-
cause he was unintentionaly lat'
paying his annual dues.

said, II stuck by the players, arit
I understand they are trying u
draft me for the office. I feel, how

Harvard Army
Looms AS Big
Game Of East

Boston, Nov. 10-lUP)-With TWO
of New England's better elevens play
ing outside the territory, the Sec
tional spotlight shifts to Harvard
stadium where the sophomore-stud-
ded Crimson faces repeatedly i'm
proving Army team tomorrow In a
colorful If not important clash.
Top-shape Army, though 1t has
won but one of its last four games,
rules a slight favorite to defeat an
injury shackeled Harvard club which
has dropped three straight to major
opponents after winning its first two
tests In impressive fashion.
A leg injury, suffered by Captain
Torbie Macdonald, the Crimson's
triple-threat tailback, In preseason
punting practice, has raised havoc
throughout the campaign with Coach
Dick Harlow's offensive plans. Mac
Donald, who showed All-America
promise for two years, played only q
few minutes against Pennsylvania
and though he returned to practice
this week, may see but little action
tomorrow because of an indigestion
attack suffered yesterday.
Headaches
In addition, Guard Ernie Sergeant
counted regular, has been forced
to quit football because Of recurrent
headaches from an injury suffered ir
scrimmage. Of the men named Il
start, only Tackle Tom Healey facee
the Army last year. End Gene Lovett
and Quarterback Bill Coleman were
reserves then.
Army Coach Bill Wood, heartenec
by the showing in defeat against
Notre Dame, said he would stick tt
the same starting lineup.
Brown, a potential powerhoust
which has failed to win a majol
game, will start its strongest club
Of the season against Yale, attempt.
ing a comeback after the Dartmouth
debacle, at New Haven, Conn. The
victim Of injuries to key players anc
! game mistakes, Brown has shown
new enthusiasm and possibly may
upset the in-and-out Ellis.
Green Choice
Indicated but. tied Dartmouth
was favored to win its road game al
Princeton and thus complete It's con-
quest of the once-potent Big Three
on successive Saturdays. If the Big
Green comes through, next Satur-
daly's battle with Cornell probably
will determine Ivy league honors
Once-beaten Boston college, Stats
tically the nations best offensive ano
defensive team, journeys to Detroit
hoping to repeat last years victory
over the Titans. The Eagles, termed
tn Merriwells of football because Of
their Garrison finishes, ruled slight
favorite.
/ Holy Cross, another once defeated
club, was expected to stay that way
possibly by lop-sided margin
against Temple at Worcester. The
Crusaders have shown increasing
power since their early defeat BY
Louisiana State.
One of the casts few undefeatee
an duntied teams, Catholic univer.
sity, comes north to face st. AnseIm'l
one of the better smaller colleges
with six straight victories. st
Anselm's has lost but one game IL
