Chick Gandil.

Washington. D. C., Nov Possibly
there's chance that Clark Griffith
would part with Chick Gandil, but
there isn't a chance in the world that
the big first baseman would go to the
White Sox If he could do as well with
any other club Gandil likes the Chi
cago club about as we'll as Belgium
likes the kaiser
1t was the White Sox who sent Chick
back to the minors, He has always
held that he was uniustiy used in being
turned back, and the fact that he has
made good with the Nationals since
hasen't served to alter his opinion.
Yes, there's a chance that he won't
be with the Nationals next year, but
bet all you can get that Gandil wont
be with the White Sox.

needed Conservative party leaders
favor a protective tariff which would
encourage home agriculture, and thus
they believe, assure the necessary sup

its originators argued would increase
the acreage Of cultivated land and
make the country less dependent on
imports, was not supported by the vot-
ers at the recent election.
The conservative plan TO strengthen
the national defense also was lost with
the defeat OF the party. The inference
from the election is that the majority
