pitched for Indianapolis in the

Denver in the Western league. In
doing so Dale not only pitched very
good ball, but he led both leagues in
batting. As a hard-hitting pitcher
Dale breaks all records for all time.
He batteo $40 with Indianapolis and
1867 while with Denver. Even
though he wasn't a winner in the box
Dale would be worth a chance in the
big show with such a batting record.

begin in Paris on Dec. &C, according to
the best information obtainable.

on broad terms, which will terminate
the armistice and permit demobiliza-
ton, ending the state of war. After
that the real job will begin-that of
reconeiling the interests of a score of
allied nations.
AS the preliminary conference will

agree, they will impose the terms upon
Germany with little discussion, accord
ing to the feeling prevailing here.
