BLEACHERS
HOOT
At HUGHES AND HE
MAY NEVER SCORE
By Robert J. Bender
f -. itniva Staff CorrupondcDt)
. New York, Jan.' 21. From the
2. press box, reached via a cornpll
f.-menlary ticket, the writer has Just
T- witnessed the opening of what
i promleea. to be one of the, moat In-
tcrestlng innings in the Republican
, political ball game now under way.
Thestake is the Harding cabinet!
A galaxy of pitchers. In the persons of
v politicians of all kinds and descriptions,
i are' seen pitching up candidacies they
. F'hope will be hit for home runs.
The umpires are President-elect Hard
ijns. back of home 'plate and Harry
f Dauffherty. behind the pitchers.
0I. 1BICK WORKS i
W Daugherty already Jiad scored for: the
cabinet, and has been taken out of the
- tfame, therefore, and placed in - hie
T"jresent position. Former (Senator Weeka
has scored and is watching the proceed
inga from the ooachers" bench. Charles
Kvans Hughes also had scored but there
-arose suddenly a tremendous racket of
f '.protest in the bleachers, occupied for
jthe most part by senate republican lead
er" in dailng array.
. Hughes la sent back to third base. At
i.1he sama time KlUiu lioot is observed
fo have been given a pass to first base.
-"David Jayne Hill take his place at bat
Jnd th&re are subdued murmurs of hope'
r and applause In the bleachers.
Such Is the setting for the now famous
"-political "freeze out" . play, so success-
fully maneuvered by experienced Repub
7 lican leaders at the national convention
j in Chicago- last June. At that time Gen-
eral Wood was on third with consider
able likelihood of scoring the nomination,
Ltovernor Lowden, however, 'was passed
tro first and Senator Harding brought up
to bat. The "freese out" worked to per
J lection then. Wood was tossed oat at
t.the plate, Low den was caught off sec
JLond. and Harding, reaching first on his
hit, was permitted to score,
f 1)A5GKR INCREASES
Xf. The same situation is forming in tbe
cabinet game today. There are other
Innings to be played, in Which Toba Hert.
IXViU Hays and others will figure later.
JVor the moment, attention is directed at
..Hughes.
Hughes, having asked If he would ac
cent the premier portfolio in the cabinet
tf it c.ould be arranged by President
elect Harding, Is said by authorities
heretofore reliable to have answered In
fthe affirmative. To all Intents and pur
pobes, Huglies had scored in the cabinet
fgame until the bleachers were heard
from. There followed then a decision by
the umpires that he could not yet be
j accredited with a run and he was sent
-back to third to await the outcome of the
"freeze out" play.
i In politics, this" play , commands a
hlgh average of succesi, particularly
J"hen master players are directing it, as
rts the case now. The chances still favor

ft
Hughes sc'oring, but, as previously stated
in these dispatches, intimate associates
of Hughes are Increasingly skeptical as
the days go on.
EXPECT XEW PLAYERS !
The big idsa, of course, is that when
David Jayne Hill hits the ball Hughes
wilt be tagged out at. the plate ahd Root,
Just passed to first base, doubled off
second, as he tries to advance his Qpsl
tion. That will leava Hill with a clear
path for scoring.
It took about three days to success
fully work this play at Chicago. Authori
ties on the game here say it probably
will take three weeks lo work It In the
Cabinet game. If indeed, It is worked out
according to schedule.
A similar play has been started on
Will flays land Tobe Hert. Whether it
is successful or not : remains to be seen
also, but in the meantime the coaches
on the-sidellne pass the word to the press
box that there will be some new players
in the game shortly, players whose
names up kill now have not figured in
the lineup.

Bible! Class for
Erring Students Is
Scantily Attended
By L'alted News
Boston, Jan. 21. Great resentment was
expressed at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology when parents of a pros
pective engineer wrote to the M. I. T.
Christian association, implying that Tech.
school students were an immoral lot
and that the faculty winked at the
matter.
The Christian association straightway
announced the establishment of a Bible
class. Professors, distinguished alumni
and leading spirits of Tech. promised to
speak at the widely advertised first
meeting. It was to be the first step
toward the moral salvation of the insti
tution. Seats were provided for the en
lire student body.
Eight students showed up.

IS HELD BACK FOR
HARDING'S REGIME
, By John Glclaaner
United New Staff Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 21. Efforts to
convoke an international confer
ence to., discuss the reduction of
armaftients, 'it seems certain, will
await the assumption of power by
President-elect Harding'. Chief inter
est in the Borah resolution," reported
favorably "to the senate by the for
eign relations committee, therefore,
centers In the fact that it indicates
American sentiment io the world as
the beginlng of the Republican ef
fort to adjust; and define America's
position, among the nations.
Senators Lodge and Koax are opposed
to action on the Borah resolution at this
session and this argues against its im
mediate adoption. It is not deemed
likely the Republican majority would
consent to anything that might embar
rass Harding. !
051T Ori'EB HIST
Lodge and Knox are familiar with
Harding's views and are credited with
having had a hand tn shaping them.
They gave the impression to their col
leagues that an international conference
may be a part of Harding' foreign
policies, but that definite action should
await his inauguration. '
Another Indication that Tterding is
interested in the subject is seen in the
series of hearings before the house naval
affairs committee. Chairman Butler
called hla committee together to discuss
naval armament limitation soon after
he returned from Marion, where he dis
cussed naval policies with Harding.

WILSOX WOULDN'T ACT
President Wilson, the United News is
able to state, would be disinclined to
act on tha Borah resolution even if it
passed the senate at once and was
referred to him. According to his ad
visers, he believes foreign polices should
now be left to his successors and that
the November election constituted a re
pudiation of efforts in the same direc
tion he made in connection with the
League of Nations. Furttyer, it was
said, the president would not want to
start negotiations that Harding might
disapprove. Foreign governments, know
ing the Democrats are discredited, also
might be. unwilling to open conversa
tions with them.
The Borah resolution, aa amended and
reported out, requests the president, "if
not incompatible with the public inter
ests," to advise the governments, of
Great Britain and Japan, .respectively,
that this government will at once take
up directly with their governments, and
without waiting upon the action fc any
other nation, the question of naval dis
armament, with the view of promptly
entering a treaty by which the naval
building programs shall be reduced an
nually. The resolution proposed i a so
per caat cut- ror, five years.
ARMIES KOT MEJTTIOJCEH
ne roreiarn relations committee voted
aown tne Walsh resolution which Would
nave empowered the convocation j of a
general conference, and declined to
adept an amendment to the Borah reso
lution offered by Senator McCumber to
include France and Italy. Objection is
made to Borah's proposal in some quar
ters because it does not include all na
tions and because no mention is made
of armies, so that nations whose chief
powers lie therein, like France, would
toe affected. ;
Fishery Treaty Is
Shelved in Senate
wasnington, Jan. zi. The senate
foreign relatioua committee today notl-fied-Senator
Jonea of Washington that It
has decided no action shall be taken at
the present session toward ratifying the
fishery treaty with Canada which was
negotiated last year, and deals particu
larly with regulation of salmon In waters
around Vancouver Island. Vigorous pro
tests have been made against it by Amer
ican fishery interests of Washington.
