SAYS WORLD PEACE COURT
IS FEASIBLE

War will never be engaged in by
the United States until the people
want it,"
THE world peace court is feasible
and will effectively stop war"
THE American flag is just as
beautiful coming down as it is 60
ing up and it should be taken down
in the PHILIPPINES and liberty pro-
claimed there"
Give the kids a chance. Don I
have all the good things to eat ano

comes.
Woodrow Wilson is a good man,
ii statesman, worthy
gentleman, my president, your presi-
dent, our president
Bryan says get behind the presi-
dent and he failed to stand behind
him in great crisis Bryan wants
everyone to stand behind the presi-
dent and he thinks he's the only
enc in the country who may stand
in front of him."
Above are some of the most strik-
ing sentences Of most striking ad-
dress made by Ex-U. S. Senator
William E. Mason, corporation coun-
sci of Chicago, at the Lincoln Chau-
tauqua Thursday afternoon. Seized
uled to speak on Presidents ! Have
Known" Ex-senator Mason briefly
recalled interesting anecdotes and
incidents concerning the great men
of the past % years and then
launched into an eloquent cham
pioning of the worlds peace court
and an earnest exhortation to set
the Filipino free.
''lf there is to be any war for
this country you people will make
it," said the ex-senator. Its re-
markable that some people think
that our good president, God bless
him, may make up some morning ana
declare war. There will never be
war until the people instruct Their
senators and con ressmen they wan

THORPE BATS NO.2
GIANTS TO VICTORY
Two-Bagger, with Bases
Full, Turns the Trick in
Fifth Inning.
fBy telegraph 10 The Tribune. ]

Dallas, Tex, March Jim Thorpe
was the hero Of to-day's game between
the No. Giants and the Dallas CLUB.
Largely because Of Jim's time two
Dagger, the Giants made 1t TWO
straight, winning to-day by score OF
6 to 3.
1t was the first hit Thorpe made IN
the Dallas invasion, and he saved IL
up, till the right time. The score vas
tied at 2 to 2. II was the fifth inning
and the bases were full. Nobody was
out.
Thorpe shot a sharp one high over
second for a clean double and two
runs came in.
The recruits would have gathered at
least two more runs in this frame had
they paid some attention TO the rudi-
:nents of base running. Bad coaching
at third let Brainerd try TO score
from first on Thorpe's hit. Bralnerd
was an easy out at the plate.
A moment later Doyle singled 70
short right and Thorpe, trying to get
in from second, was ten feet behind
the ball in the race home.
The mercury was almost down to
the freezing point and the sun shone
only internationally on the Dallas park.
The diamond was cloddy and the in
fielders could only guess where the
ground balls would bound

BOWLERS DISCUSS PLANS
To Vote on Decreasing Dues
at Meeting.

The annual convention OF the Ma
tional Bowling Association will be held
on April II at 2 o'clock in the Grand
Central Palace, Forty-seventh Street
and Lexington Avenue. this city. This
time was decided on at meeting of the
board OF governors Of the national
body yesterday afternoon at the Hotel
Imperial.
A step Of real Importance in lsgis-
lative way was taken IN the formal
proposition 10 amend the constitution
whereby the annual dues will he %
cents man, including registration in
both the national and New York as
sociationS, instead OF the 50-cent fee
now in effect. This amendment will be
submitted to the bowlCrs at their con-
vention for their approval.
Many details pertaining 10 the ma
tional tournament, which will begin IN
the Grand Central Palace on March q,
were gone over. 1t was decided TO oiier
a special medal for the man making the
highest single score in any of the com
petitions William Ii. Valentine. presi-
dent Of the New York Bowling Assoc;a-
ton. announced that the local body
would offer special medals for the
bowlcrs in it's mem bership who rolled
highest in each event, provided they
did not also capture one Of the cham
pionships. There will be no metro
politan tournament this year.
No end OF comment was caused by
The Tribunc's story yesterday about
the alignment of the bowlers them
selves against the subtle influence of
business interests in bowling, and it
was the consensus of opinion that. no
matter if the New York alley owners
were inactive, the tournament would be
a bowling success, anyway.

to-day by a score of Ii to 9, and the
crowd CT some 500 spectators seemed

Getz kept the outfielders running all

the afternoon of sport was a ringing
triple of the right centre field fence,

Egan will be seen in seton at short
field when the season opens next
month. Ollie O'Mara is lame and finds
it hard to develop any degree OF speed.
L. may be, of course, that he will round

exciting races in the history of the
Amateur Hockey League, the St.

the Boston A. A. will come down to

Each team has won six games and
lost one.
As result, the game Thursday
night between the two leaders at the
ST. Nicholas Rink will decide the
championship. The St. Nicks, despite
their early defeat by Boston, are con-
fdent of winning the game and again
capturing honors. Most hockey fol-
lowers believe they will do so, but the
sharps expect TO see one Of the hard
est fought games of the season.
While the first and second places
in the league will be decided by the
St. Nick-Boston game, the Crescents

for third place by beating the Irish

runners Plough Through Snow

Only six runners decided to frolic
in the snow over the course OF three
and a half miles of the St. Aloysius
Lyceum rim. in Harlem, yesterday, but
the race proved the most exciting and
closest of the season.
Tom Kelley and Frank Case, two
members Of the Morningside Athletic
Club. starting from the 100 mark. ran
as team in the lead until fifty yards
from home. Here Kelley sprinted and
splashed down the stretch to win by
three yards. Noah Jackson. a Salem

third, with James r. Manning. Of the
Bronx Church House, who started from
scratch, only fifteen yards behind. II
was the first time this season that

Basketball Game at New
Haven Tomorrow Will
Settle Race for the
League Title.

Princeton and Yale, still neck anc
neck for the lead in the intercolle
giate Basketball League race, will set.
tie the question of supremacy in an
adhesive game tomorrow night
when the pair meet in New Haven.
1t will not be the last game OF the
year for either team, but each is
equally sure of winning its final en-
counter. so that to-morrow's game will
without question decide tho title
holder.
By defeating Pennsylvania while
Princeton was trouncing Dartmouth on
Saturday Yale kept in the tie for first
place. a deadlock which neither team
has been able 10 break for three weeks.
Each has won six and lost two games.
Cornell assured itself of at least a
tie for second place in the league
standing by defeating Columbia az
Ithaca on Friday. The Ithacans will
wind up their season tonight, when
they face Dartmouth at home. and
should have little difficulty IN winning
at the expense Of the hspless Green
five. Columbia, by reason OF bad re-
versal of form, will find worse lodge
ment than it has ever had in the league
since il was organized. Fourth place
is the best the team from New York
can get, and it looks as if it will finish
the season with only an even break.
but it can hardly be expected to de-
feat the sll-powerful Tiger five when
the two meet at Princeton on Friday.
Pennsylvania brought its season to
an end in the game with Yale. and has
only three victories out of ten starts
to It's credit. The Quakers beat Dart
mouth twice and Columbia once. That
is the extent of their prowess as con-
querors. Dartmouth is the most I'M
fortunate team that has ever played
in the league, and there is little pros
