By Iwk Telork NKW YORK. Dec. 31. (I. X. S.) The National, league Is cultivating a ' new generation of sluggers to fill the shoes of receding veterans who have .been smashing fences during the last ' few yarn In the senior circuit. Though Zack Wheat, the Brooklyn outfielder, la revealed as the 1918 bat ting champion In the averages made public today, the rood "old line" hitters ,'are slowly but surely dwindling and the youthful club swingers are coming Into their own. Foar Old Oaea Remala A glance at the "averages shows that there were 14 larrupers In the .300 class ; last season and that among this num ' her only four of the veteran class ' Wheat, Groh. Daubert and "Chase re main to uphold the traditions of the hard hitting league. But the newcomers have filled In the ranks admirably. - Eddie riousch. hatting champion of the league in 1917 ; Benny Kauff, of Federal league fame ; Taggart, South worth, Hollocher, Terry, Young and Hchmandt are among the new leather busters who hope to uphold the reputa tion of, the National as the hardest hit ting of the- two majors. Fobrteea .800 Hitters The effect of young blood Is shown to a certain extent by the number of .300 hitters this year. - There were 14 in the select set aa compared with nine In 1918 and six In 1917, and this year's 'list does not even Include the name of Iloger Hornsby among the "ZOO." Horns by was a 300 hitter In J918 and 1917, but laat season he had an off year. Rousch and Kauff have acquitted themselves as consistently hard hitters. Southworth of Pittsburg and Hollocher of Chicago are two new comers of ex ceptional promise and the other young sters give promise of developing into fence smashers . within a reasonable length of time. -The fallowing percentages were ninde by some former Coast and Northwest players:' Honthwcrrtli.

Rent Vnvr,r Special Cabi to The Journal and Chicago , unit News. (Copyright 1918. bjr Chicago Dily News Co.) .Paris, J3ec 31. Italy, or at least the Italian svmoathtzera seem tn tinuing to try to influence the peace conference with . accomplished facta rather than with mere irmimm). gardinfc Italy's . aspirations In the Adrl- auc.

Austrian statistics show that there are more Slavs In Fiume than Italians. The latter contest these figures and only a properly supervised plebiscite can de termine the matter, but even granting that the Italians predominate, which is far from certain, there is another ques tion of eauity which should H wi. ously considered. Even the secret treaty of London which promised Italy so many conces sions on the eastern shores of the Adri atic left Fiume to the Jugo-Slavs. In deed Flume practically is the only port In Jugo-Slavia united to the outer coast by railway and thus forms the natural outlet for the vast Slav territories. Be fore the armistice it was Hungary's chief port on the Adriatic and. had be come an important commercial : center. If It goes to Italy not only will the Jugo-Slavs be - deprived of their most favorable natural outlet, but the city itself and its commercial relations with the interior may fall into rapid decline profiting neither Italy, Jugo-SIavla nor its own inhabitants.

Crane campaigning him with , suc cess around the Northwest circuit, but having the one horse made it hard for him to compete against the big stables. Crane sold Hal Boy to Lou Child for $3200, and Child campaigned him with such success that Child made a handsome turnover when he sold the Oregon sidetheeler to the Omaha turfman. Peterson, for $12, 500. He continued to be driven by Child and afterward by Dick Mc Mahon. Peterson won some $60,000 with Hal Boy, including the $20,000 pace at the San Francisco fair in 1915. Eligible to Half 31 lie Hal Boy with his record of 2 :01 is no longer eligible for the class races and must start in the free-for-all events against the best horses in the country. Rarely do these events call for more than $1000 purses, so that his earning power is limited. It is not surprising then that Peterson took a chance to get rid of Hal Boy at C2550.

BRITISH ARE CORDIAL WILSON'S ADDRESS Daily News Sees No Needfor Misgivings at Conference on President's- Policy. London, Dec. ?1. (U. P.) England's press heartily welcomed President Wil son's, speech at Manchester. The edi torial tone was that the problems of the peace conference, including freedom" of the seas, will' be easily settled, if approached in the spirit the president manifests. The Daily News was most cordial in its comment, declaring: "If that is the note at the peace con ference, we need not have misgivings as to the outcome. There can be no ac commodation between the old balance of power order of things, which Clemen ceau is reluctant to forsake, and the uni versal concert of power to which Wilson summons the world.' - The vital test is whether1 the peace conference is a gath ering of victors to divide the spoils or a gathering of statesmen pledged to sub ordinate every sectional and national in terest to the ' interests of humanity. The Times calls Lloyd George's ques tion to Clemeneeau regarding France's need of . the British , navy the decisive test-- and emphasizing' Wilson's acqui escence in It, predicts that "the ques tion of freedom of ' the seas will yield to treatment by the same, spirit that animated the president's visit." -The proposal to. perpetuate the peace conference and make it-the machinery of the league of nations, coming from Wilson , himself, is regarded as most vital by, the Chronicle. ; "Unless it perpetuates Itself It cannot escape the fate of former peace con gresses, this newspaper ' declares." 1 Bayoneting Declared Accident Los Angeles.

Coald Bo Msrh Good If Blewett can get the old carbureter mixture in proper shape, he no doubt will be able to do a lot of good for the Pacific Coast International league In particular and the minors tn general. Along the coast Just now everything appears to be in a state of every mag nate at the listening post. The men of the north are Baying nothing, awaiting the crooking of the finger of the men of the south. The Californlas will have their meeting soon and at that time some expression may be made as to amalgamation with the northern clubs into an eight club real coast league. Mast Await Coasters The stand has been taken that there is no necessity of meeting in the North west and talking over the situation, un til the California-Utah moguls have naet their Bay. If it is unfavorable, then the Blewett-McCredle-Dugdale outfit will get busy on plans for 1919.
