sive library it's exhibits of Latin
American products, it's collection OF
maps and educational charts OF area,
nonulation and commerce, it's attrac-
tive reading room and it's busy offices
of information, publication and cor
respondence But all these features
pale before their unanimous adm1ra-
ton and appreciation of it's Council
Chamber or Governing Board Room
They look upon it as an almost sacred
meeting place Of American nations,
never before realized by them because
of the modest claims of the Pan Amer
lean Union to public attention, but,
which, in their opinion, is and shall
be the prototype of a similar but
greater meeting place of all nations
to be designated by the World Peace
Conference, which will soon meet in
the hallowed halls of Versailles.
In conclusion I have the honor to
submit, from the standpoint of one
who has been engaged in international
affairs for nearly twenty-five years,
and with Pan American relations
nearly sixteen years, first, that the
coming World Peace Conference, in
making it's plans for q League of Ma
find inspiration in the organization
and record of the Pan American
Union; second, that the American gov
ernments, in their next International
Conference, should consider taking
such united action will make the
Pan American Union an effective
League to enforce and preserve peace
on the Western Hemisphere; and
third, that this Pan American League
need not interfere with, or limit the
powers of a World League, but have
relation to the latter akin to those
of State Legislature to a National
Legislature, thus preserving and en-
larging the principles of practical
Pan Americanism, the Doctrine of
Monroe, and the right Of a group of
nations with mutual political and
economic interests and geographic
pro'pinquity to act and stand together
for their own good and that of the
world.

DUNBOYNE winner
OF BIG FUTUR|TY

BELMONT PARK TRACK. n. Y.
sept. 1S.-Dunboyne won the Futur-
ity. This crackerjack two-year-old
carried the silks of p. A. Clark to a
wonderful victory in the historic blue
ribbon two-year-old classic yesterday.
Two lengths behind him finished Sir
Barton and a head behind came Pur-
chase. AS for the others, they were
here. there and nowhere.
Twenty thousand wild turtles
cheered the colt along to victory. The
majority of the crowd was thrilled
with delight, for they backed Dun
boyne with confidence. Dunboyne
was a 13-to-5 favorite, and that fea-
ture makes the race more than pop
ular.
For winning this stake Dunboyne
brought 1913 800 to his owler. Sir
Barton's share was $4.1I3 and Pur-
chase earned S2,056.
The time, 1:12 As. was pretty fair.
considering that Dunboyne carried
l27 pounds and gave allowance to all
but Star HAMPTON.

Red Cross. The bIooded animals are
presented by Col Howard S. Borden
of Rumson. Wag Tail was brought
over to this country two years in
succession by the English interna-
tionaI polo team, and played by
Captain Lloyd three periods in 1911
The pony was purchased by Mr.. Bor-
den in 1913, and has won blues Al
shows as a type for pony brood
mares.
Fox is Arthur Borden's favorite
hunter and has carried him in num-
erous Monmouth county hunts. The
well-known pony won the blue for
jumping at the Brooklyn horse show
in 1917 and at the Monmouth fair
and was third to Confidence at Long
Branch, jumping the regular course

Charlie Hickman Hit
Shortest TwePly Swat
In Record Of Baseball

Just a few days ago, in Cincinnati,
Heinie Groh batted what Is supposed
to be the shortest single ever raped
since the game began. The ball
glanced off his bat, fell on the plate,
and lay there. Rariden, who was
catching, didn't see where the ball
went, and was frantically hunting for
it while Groh skipped to first.
Charlie Hickman is credited with
the shortest two-basger ever de-
Iivered-at comiskey's park several
years ago. He hit one that struck
just beyond the edge Of the plate huG,
instead OF staying quiet, bounded
sharply back. The catcher tried -
grab it up and effect q put-out, but
the ball gFazed his arm and leapsd
clear to the stand while Hickman
kept on running.
Under the rules, that was a fair
ball, for the catcher had struck 1t
while 1t was still in fair ground,
Also, under the rules, 1t was not IN
error, for the catcher merely grazed
II and had no chance to hold tex
actIy a. II 1t had been hit to short
stop, and just tipped the shortstop's
glove. Hence II was q fair hit, and,
as Hickman never stopped till he got
to second, it had to be counted as a
double.

CHANGED HIM AROUND

Apropos the recent worlds series Il
Is quite a coincidence that Manager
Barrow, OF the Red Sox. was the man
who frst placed Manager Mitchell, OF
the Cubs. on the road which led to
managerial honors by changing him
from a pitcher to a catcher. As man
ager of the Toronto Club, Of the Inter-
tionaI League, in 1905, Barrow first con
ceived the idea Of making Pitcher
Mitchell change positions. and saw 70
it that Mitchell got his chance at
catching during the morning catches.
Mitchell did not take to catching a.
naturally as he did to pitching. but
with his arm showing signs OF weari-
ness in tough games he stuck to the
job and made good; In fact, so much did
he make good that he was purchased
by the New York Americans Later
he drifted back to the International
League, working under George StallingS,
OF Buffalo, and graduating from that
club to the Boston Nationals as coach
Of pitchers. IN which capacity he rem
dered valuable assistance to the Braves
Of 1914 In the winning the championship
and also OF the worlds series that year.
Incidentally the Toronto Club 1g-
ures prominently in the present worlds
series as having graduated both Bar
rows and Mitchell. the respective nan-
ayers Of the Rcd Sox and Cubs.
