DECIDES
TO STAY NEUTRAL
To Contribute To
Maintenance OF Peace In
Southeastern Europe

ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 4.-R-
Premier John Metaxas has an
nounced the neutrality Of Greece,
another of the nations of south
east Europe upon whom Britain
has relied for possible support in
the Mediterranean war with Italy.
Greece remains and will remain
neutral in order to contribute to
the maintenance of peace in south
eastern Europe, the premier told
the nation in a broadcast last night
on the fourth anniversary of his
'iron man" regime.
While not an actual ally of Brit
ain, Greece has received a guaran-
tee Of her independence from the
British and has been regarded as
a probable ally of the British should
Italy attempt a drive toward the
Dardanelles or the Aegean Sea.
Turkey, ally of Britain and guard
ian of the 'Dardanelles, also has
announced her intention of staying
out of the a unless attacked.
"In this terrible conflict which
shakes the very foundations of
Europe" declared the premier.
Greece. always ready for every
sacrifice to safeguard the integri-
ty of her territory, her indepen-
dence and her honor, should these
precious possessions be threatened,
remains and will remain neutral"
Striking at intriguers, of whom
he said a few had appeared, Me-
taxas said he had taken measures
to insure that these few men may
be forced to stop defaming the
honest name of our country be-
fore foreigners"

CHICAGO. Dec. 12.-There was
new evidence in baseballs record
today that so long as KenesaW
M Lands is commissioner of the
sport ne will run it with the same
firm hand that has marked his
administration since he first took
Office in 1921.
The stern-visaged 74-year-old
commissioner was very much the
head man at the ennual major
league winter meetings which ended
yesterday. At a joint session of the
two major circuits he was elected
for a new term extending to Janu-
ary II. 1916, at SOS 900 a year.
Lands cast the deciding vote on
the most controversial subject of
the neutrality-suspicious. clubs should
be permitted to play more than
seven night games at home each
season. The American League
wanted the number extended be-
yond seven and the National League
voted TO retain the Seven-game
limitation. With the decisive bal
lot up to Lands he voted with the
National League.
Melton Deal Disapproved.
A crisp announcement by Lands
set forth his views on attempts
to evade the spirit of the player
draft law. 1t referred to the case
of Pitcher Rufus Melton. who was
offered to Brooklyn after being
| picked up in the draft by the
Philadelphia Phillies.
This Melton transaction is dis
approved" Lands said. 'Phila-
delphia rendered him to Brooklyn
and that action is disapproved
That's all I'll say about the matter
and there will be no further action
Lands had summoned officials of
the two clubs to hearing after cir
culation of reports that Brooklyn
had arranged to purchase Melton
from Philadelphia for $4,000. The
Phillies, being last in the standings.
had first chance among National
League clubs to draft Melton from
Columbus of the American Associa-
ton for $500.

petition of Georgetown, with the
game scheduled for the A. u. court
at $3.50. A preliminary game at
7:30 has Georgetown's freshman

Cassell has been waiting anx-
iously and even impatiently the
chance to display his Eagles in
action, so confident is he that they
will make a good showing. He's
not predicting that they'll take
Georgetown tonight-especially af-
ter watching the Hoyas trim West

but well give them an interesting
game" he says, and further hints
around tina. victory for American
University is not in the realm OF
impossibilities.
The Eagles as a whole are a

playing brilliantly. Other times
they are just another club In
practice they have blown hot and

This will be Georgetown's thiro
