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.

auc.
The dispute as to the port of Flume
has already occasioned Intenaa titt.
ness between the Italians and the Jugo-
fciavs. me Italian national council in
Fiume now Droclaimn itsolf tn k.
charged by popular will to declare that
the region of Fiume is entirely Inde-
penaent ana "expresses itself at the
same time as being absolutely confident
that the desire of the people of Fiume
to be reunited to Italy as Indicated by
many public manifestations will be rati
fied by the peace conference."
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. '
This is one example of how in the
forthcoming reorganisation of the world
economic equity may have to be consid
ered as Important as racial equity. -

Crane campaigning him with , suc

but having the one horse made it
hard for him to compete against the

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. At that
Hat- Boy is Btill eligible to race tn

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."

BLEWETT
TO ATTEND
BALL TALIC
Minor Leagues Will Consider Im
portant Legislation at Eastern
Session This Month.
DOB BLEWETT. the four-cylinder
president of the. Pacific Coast In
ternational league, has been sounding
out the magnates on the desirability of
his. attending the highly important meet
ing of the minor leagues In January.
They are willing.
-It is at this meeting that much of
importance to the minors in the way of
legislation protecting them from the
cannibalistic majors will be enacted.
If the minors take a firm stand they
have the power to make the majors
heave to In regard to drafting indis
criminately among leagues lower than
class B.
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.

backers of the transaction and Daly
is to be president of the club. Daly,
