fully and frankly all problems.

heretofore announced
The general question Of military
and financial cooperation will be
the foremost Eroblem. but other Iub
Jects 10 be considered are. =
Diplomatic questions such as ulti-
mate peace terms munitio Is;

speet TO ultimate peace terms, gov

is not inclined 10 make any separate
peace with Germany
The work OF munitions supply will
be taken up thoroly and some ar
ranGoment may be made whereby
England will increase her own out

LUCKY SAYS

The Hammond baseball club viii play
its second game Of the championship
series with Waukegan at Parduhn park
Sunday
Mccain. owner Of the Waukeean
team. still has the sour taste of defeat
in his mouth and he and Parduhn got
together Monday in an effort to settle
the argument as to superiority at the
earliest possible moment. Mccain
thinks that Hammond was lucky and
can't do It again. Parduhn says that
his We're better ball players rather than
luckier end it can be done again.
Waukegan brought good-sized follow
ing with them last Sunday and it is
hoped BY many supporters Of the local
club that they also bring a large bank
roll with them next Sunday. Bets on
last Sundays game were comparatively
few for there was no Waukegan money
in sight.
If Hammond again defeats waukegan
Sunday they will play Albany Park a
three-game series.

cunitsa rress star Correspondent.

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Aug lift was through
George Sister and his wonderful work
that Branch Hickey first gained fame
as a scout for ball players. Hickey.
then manager Of the Browns. made the
assertion when Sisler began to flash
as a pitcher and outfielder that the
former Michigan university student
would some day rival Ty Cobb as a
wonderful ball player. Sisler is be-
ginning TO prove Hickey right
Following close after sisIer. Hickey
turned Ernie Koob into the American
league. with the lRconic remark that
he was a kid who some day would be
one of the left-handed pitchers in the
game Koob is living up to it.
Then hickey searched around and
located DR.. John Lavan. Lavan
wouldn't hit q terrible lot" remarked
Hickey when it became known Lavan
would join the Browns. but he pointed
out that the youth possessed coolies of
speed and wonderful fielding ability.
Lavan is now recognized as a real star.
Those fellows are all with the Browns
and Hickey IS with the Cardinals as
president Of the club. A short time ago
he went to Milwaukee to purchase
pitcher named Goodwin. and he found
the competition alread interesting Rick
ey looked at Goodwin and promptly an
nounced that he was going to have
that pitcher If money would win him
He declared Goodwin one Of the finest.
Goodwin's first game was shut-out
over the Phillies. and since then he has
pitched some excellent games Hickey
has placed the stamp Of approval on
him. If he follows through as have
others Of Rickey's selection Miller
Huggins' pitching staff. has gained its
greatest asset.
Nick Cullop, every club in the Amer
lean league is crying. has has nothing
but luck. The White Sox say he hasn't
even a noticeable curve.
Yet Nick last year won twelve straight
games, some at the expense Of the Sox.
and has been fairly successful against
that club in the present pennant hunt
However, the failure Of Nick TO go
at top speed this year. coupled with
the hard luck of George Mogridge. has
done as much as anything to keep Bill
Donovan's Yankees down in the race.
