HOLY PoNTlFF MAY MAKE ONE
MORE EFFORT TO SECURE
PEACE
tBy Associated PreaA.D

ROME, Aug. S1.--In Vatican circles
Pope Benedict is said to have signi-
fled his intention of issuing a reply
after receiving the responses of all
belligerents, pointing out questions
in regard to which all nations at war
may be in agreement. and others con
cerning which 1t may be necessary to
hold discussions. The pope said he
was bitterly disappointed at the
presidents answer, however.
The pope believes the presidents
reply leaves little room for further
peace efforts at present. He hoped
to receive a favorable response from
the United States more than any
where else.

wonder of the American league,
has had bad arm for two sea-
sons. George Foster, the star OF
1915, was ineffective last year.
Wood believes he is going to be
right this year and that the Bos-
ton management places some con-
fidence in his belief is shown by
their reluctance to trade him, al
though they have carried him at a
loss.
Boston has offered to trade
Wood for Steve O'NeiIl, the
Cleveland catcher, and really
has placed him on the mar
ket at his 1913 value rather
than an experiment. But IL
isn't likely Wood will be
traded. Magnates don't like
the idea OF trading a known
quantity for an unknown.
George Foster announced he
would like to play in the South
ern league at least part of this
season to see II he couldn't get
back i'm shape.
If Foster comes through he will
be hauled back to Boston in a
hurry. for Barry, a first year man
ager, isn't anxious to lose the serv-
ices of a pitcher of his caliber.
These three soupbones will have
a lot to do with the American
league race If they get going right.
