NOW FOR RATIFICATION

President Wilson met the virtual challenge of the Senatorial opponents of the peace treaty and the League of Nations by the freest and fullest presentation of the conditions and con- alterations which dictated engagements that are now awaiting ratification by the Senate For three and half hours the President an swered the questions propounded to him by members of the Foreign Relations Committee With patience, painstaking and the utmost frankness he responded to their request for information.
 This conference was without precedent in American history, but it amply fulfilled the President s promise-made months ago-that he would take the senate and thecountry into his confidence in respect to the treaty and the League It was the fault of the Senate Con- mittee that this complete exposition and ex- planation of the treaty and the coven- ant was not sooner forthcoming. The Presl- dent upon his return from France expressed his preparedness to clarify and justify every act of the Paris peace council.
 From the lips of the who was one of the authors of the treaty of the League, who knows every inch of the ground between their incept- ion and their consummation-the Foreign Re- lations Committee learned that Art X of cov- enant is subject to own judgment and to the authority of Congress- that the Monroe Doctrine is beyond the purview of the League; that questions of purely domestic policy and government like immigration and the traiff, are equally outside its jurisdiction. If the Sen ators who have opposed the treaty and the League continue their obstruction it will not be for want of understanding and reassuran- ces. Their opposition henceforth will be sus- pected as of different origin.
 The President made it quite plain to the members of the Foreign Relations Committee that, if they choose to regard their country's obligations lightly they may adopt interpre- tations that do not alter the text or impair the force of the treaty. If such "interpreta- tions'' in separate resolution will salve their pride without at the same time jeopardizing the advantages which the United States derives from the treaty and the security which all the world obtains through the League, the Senators are free, so far as the President is concerned to take that course.
 Whatever the action of the recalctrant Sen ators may be, the peoples attitude will be unmistakable. They know the>President has had greater opportunity and better right

On the surface it looks like the Board of Su- pervisors of Cochise county jumped from the frying pan into the fire when the board served notice on the state engineer that the Board in that county in the future proposed to handle the seventy-fve per cent state fund they deemed best. The state engineer replied by ordering state highway work in that county discontinued and the road building machinery removed from Cochise to Pima county.

In his statement to members of the Foreign Relations Committee at the White House ference, President Wilson gave some excellent reasons for speedy ratification of the treaty He pointed out that the copper mines of Arizona, Montana and Alaska, operating at loss; that the zinc mines of Missouri, Tennessee and Wisconsin are producing but half their normal output; that the lead of Missouri, Idaho and Illinois reaches only portion of its former market; that the sale of cotton in the Central Empires and other parts of Europe is imposs- ble and that many other commodities cannot be marketed because the channels of trade are barred until the resumption of commercial re- lations is made possible by the ratification of the treaty. Those nations which first conclude peace will also be the first to enjoy prosperity.

EXTRA SPORTING NEWS
WAS GOLDEN HARVEST
 FOR COLLEGES

New York, Nov. 28 - Collegiate football is packed away in moth balls for another six months. The season is over excepting for the final clash between the Army and Navy stall warts, who will do battle here at the Polo Grounds today, and the service teams hardly are rated as collegiate agGregauons because there are no se- were eligibility rules that interfere with the football advancement of those who elect to strive for shoulder straps at West Point or Annapolis.
 Probably never before has there been so much interest shown In the numerous football games played thrOughout the country. Never be- fore Fave there heen such crowds as have packed the college stadiuus. This last fact has been of great satts- faction to the various collegiate ath- lefic associations winch were plunged into debt trying to maintain some show of athletics during the Iea war years of 1917 and E9E8 8. Packed houses such as the 10000 persons who saw Princeton defeat Yale, the 5o,000 who watched Harvard add further to the gloom or Yale. 30,O00 which attended the subnersion of Cornell by Penn ard the many other gentle gatherings helped materially to pay off a glaring debt and put col Iegiate athletics on a paying basis once more.
 Most of the colleges are so elated over the amount Of money that has flowed into the treasuries during the last season that they are overnowtng with optimism . Penn is especially pleased with it's football income and has greater visions than ever of an enlarged stadiun aroGHd Franklin Field, where a crowd of 5O,00O can be accommodated instead of a paltry 30,00o, which is the capacity of the historic athletic field at Penn now.

Much Interest Tn
 Boxing Bout Between
 Beckett and Carpenter

New York, Dec. There hasn't been a bout fought between foreign boxers in years that has created half the interest Americans are displaying in the heavyweight tilt between Joe Beckett, the British champion, and Georges Carpenter, the idol of the French. in London, next Thursday Despite the opinion in this country that neither man classes with the best American heavyweights and that Jack Dempsey could whip both men in the same ring on the same night interest here is unprecedented. Per haps it is on account of 1t being the first real important International heavyweight battle fought in years.
 It has been the opinion in this country that if Carpenter has re- gained his pre-war form he either will outpotnt or decisively whip the cumbersome Beckett, who is thought to be nothing more than a rugged, give and take sIugger. Much doubt regarding Carpenters physical condition, however, has been ex- pressed.

FOR
 HI4.J0R LEAGUE
 PARKS iS PLAN

New York, Dec. Tine advance of football as an entertainment for the masses ls making rapidly for the forming of e.. ..-ofessional league of football clubs -J be operated much the same as the league baseball clubs. It is the object of many magnates in the American and National leagues to make a couple of months use of their grounds after the baseball sea son has ended and with that end in view it is not unreasonable for such legislation to be asked as will per init of the game being held on Sun days in some of the big cities where it is forbidden now.
 One instance which furthered this idea occurred in Chicago just a few weeks ago when Jim Thorpe's Can ton team of professionals played a game in Chicago before about 12,000 people, who had no other interest in the contest than just to sae q game and who paid from S1 to B for the privilege. In other cities in the west professional teams draw heavily, and as yet there is nothing which pre- tends to any bearing on a champion ship. It's the proof that the general public wants the game, and were a regular championship series to be in stttuted it would likely increase in terest in the events.

Pushball Becoming
 More Popular Every
 Year Throughout U. $.

PushbaII contests were a feature Of the Thanksgiving Day sporting events in several cities of the United States. The youngest of sports has become increasingly popular, and is now played in England and Canada as well as in Uncle Sam's land where it origina ted. New England was the scene of the first pushbau contests, and it is said that the first push ball was made in Newton, Mass, in 1894. The first pushbau game wit messed in New York was played on Thanksgiving Day seventeen years ago. The regulation pushbau was not proCurable for this contest, and q canvas ball filled with hay was used.
 The pushbau of the regular type is the largest and costliest ball used in any game. It is six feet in diame- ter, and a good one costs in the neighborhood of $500. Even at that apparently excessive price, it is said that there is no big profit for the makers. English cowhide leather is used for the outside covering, and the score of strips necessary are sewed by hand. Each strip is about ten feet long, taDeCjng to points at the poles" of the bali, where they are secured by leather caps. Half 9 dozen hides are required to get the leather for one bail, and 1t takes an expert workman two weeks 10 sew the material together.
 The most expensive rubber has to be used for the bladder The rubber is cut into strips and cemented to- @eIher in the shape of a globe, exact ly fitting the leather covering when inflated. The cover will last for many years, but the bladder has to be re- neWcd, and at a cost of S15O every two or three years. Pushbau is played both indoors and on a field similar to football gridiron. A goal occupies each end of the field, and 1t is the endeavor of the opposing teams to push the ball through the enemy's goal. Although originating on this side of the Atlantic, pushbau is now more popular in England than in America. The Britishers have intro duced an innovation where the play CTS are on horseback, but on this side the players are usually afoot

Charley Beecl7er Is
 After Champ Herman

Phil Bernstein. the New York box ing manager. sends in the following g about Charley Beecher:
 Practically unheard of a year, Charley Beecher, brother of the vet eran Igh weight, Willie Beecher, has now reached a point second only to that of Pete Herman, the bantam weight champion. Winning every event for two years in various A. A. U. tournaments with remarkable cIeverness and stepping into the paid class of boxers, and defeating the best of them, the work of Charley is wor- thy Of comment
 Under the tutelage of his more fa- nous and experienced brother Will lie, Charley's brilliant work, since the youngsters advent into the profes- sionaI class has been even better than his performance among the Simon pure CharIey's best work so far has been clearly demonstrated against Joe Burman, Joe Lynch, Frankie Burns and others. Again last week at the Bayonne A. C., Beccher furnished an other surprise, beating Patsy John son. the same lad who beat Joe Lynch.
 Phil Bernstein, who is handling Augie Rather. has Beecher under his wing. and Phil while not boasttng of the progress of Beecher, states that he can see no reason why Beecher should not supplant Pete Herman, in fact Herman is our next objective as Beecher has beaten all the contend CTS. it's quite natural for us to turn to the head of the class All those lads who want a crack at Wilde can tathe it. We will take Herman. What good is a title if Beecher cannot win if t?''

SAY FRANKIE CONTEY
 WAS TOUGHEST BOXER

New York, Dec. Tn a flaming bee the other day several veterans of the ring, talking about the tough est boy they had ever seen, agreed that to Frankie Con1ey, the Pacific Coast boy, should go the honors.
 Talking about a fight Conley had with Harry Thomas, the Englishman one of the veterans recaTeds that in the twelfth round COnIey was all but in, and Thomas hit Frankie over the eye. The blow cut a big gash in the eyebrow, and the flesh dropped down over the line of vision.
 That infuriated ConIey, who, push ing the torn flesh back into place, so he could see, whaled into Thomas who had to be carried out of the ring a the end of the fight.
 Patsey Kline, the Newark feather weight, who was one of the heaviest punchers that ever fought in that df- vision, hit ConIey on the jaw in their bout on the "'coast' until he was arm weary and tired of knocking ConIey down and finally lost the bout.
