Sport Chatter
By The onlooker.


Some one who never saw that M.
NJ Co. Watson Bldg. game Saturday
and the last game between the two
teams, both OF which were won after
two men were out in the last inning
might think that mr. Dawson and
company sold out.
Morse, a second baseman; Pike, a
third baseman and Pop" Shriver, a
pitcher, all of the Battle Creek Mich
team during the present season have
started to work at Downs and are on
the Consumer team.
shriver needs no introduction in
local baseball circles. He is one Of
Marion couEty's best twirler products
Monongah's lineup yesterday was
good one. No disgrace to lose to a
team like that.
Anyhow, with five victories requir-
ed to decide the winner, the world Sc
ries will last little longer than the
Willard Dempsey fight.
Rev. Frederick Mcmillan, pastor Of
the Walnut Hills Presbyterian church
of Cincinnati not only prays for the
Reds success, but he asks that all fans
in the city daily offer up prayer for
Moran's success.
He begins his prayer by the follow
ing sentence 1--WE have waited long

allied.

Kingmont Defeats
Wendell Mines Team

Though the Wendell Mines team OF
the Maryland Coal Co., near Prunty-
town, was loaded for the game with
Kingmont yesterday, it was not load
ed quite heavy enough, for the King
mont boys managed to get through
the game with q ga victory to their
credit.
Keener was on the mound for the
Kingmont boys and was hit rather
freely, but he proved unusually tight
in the pinches and kept the scores
down. Squirrel" Jones did the pitch
ing for the Wendell team and was hi
hard.
The fielding of Alltop and Kource
and the hitting of Keener, Kource
and Alltop featured the game. APP
proxinately fourteen hundred people
turned out to see the game. which
was the fourteenth victory for King
mcnt.
The score by innings follows:

With the high price of production in
this country, it is going to be a prob
lem to find profitable market for
our surplus manufactures. With steel
workers, for instance, getting all the
way from So to $40 per day, and even
higher, and demanding more, it will
be impossible for steel products to find
outside. markets unless foreign labor
is also high.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

But the time has come to emphasize
another matter, and that is the fact of
delay. The war has been ended nearly
a year now, and yet peace has not
come Neither friends nor foe has had
opportunity to pick up the tilre!ids of
normal life which were so suddenly
and so tragically snapped apart iu. the
summer of 1914-Henry Fords Dear
born Independent. .s.
The Independent is scrvilc follow
er Of the president and hence cannot
see that to some extent at least the
president is responsible for delays in
ratification Of the peace treaty. The
lack of speed on the part of the senate
is due in some degree to the inability
of the senate to secure infOrma ton and
the president is responsible for this
situation. Moreover. it is the League
OF Nations covenant that is causing
much opposition to ratification. Had
the peace conference separated the
ASdSuS Iioih Iilc pViCc tlcdts. tle
treaty would have been ratified long
ago and peace conditions would now
prevail. The separation was not made
because President Wilson wanted to
force senator's to support the league
because of the advisabity of supporting
the treaty. The league is Il new de-
parture in world politics and it is not
to be wondered at that mon of dis
.cerlment and caution scan its provi-
'sions with most critical Eyes. Had the
president and the peace conference
been willing to submit the league cove
nant and the treaty upon the merits of
each, treaty ratification would at least
have been expedited. But the proceed
Sings of the council We're shrouded in
secrecy and when anybody tried to find
out what was going on behind the bar
red doors he was characterized as "a
wild man at the keyhole." The delays
In ratification are, therefore, largely
due to the extreme partisan course of
the president and to the slow delibera-
ton OF the peace conference. More
over, for weeks last spring President
Wilson was swinging around the circle
In Europe, consuming lot of valu-
able time that should have been de-
voted to the real work for which he
went to Paris with his retinue of as
sistants. During the days the presi-
dent was being delighted by the ap-
plause Of the populace such men as
Col. House, Gen. Bliss, Secretary
Lansing and Henry White were kill
ing time" around Paris, waiting for
the head Of the American Delegation to
get through with his performance.
During these days of needless delays
the president aud hissadlpjxers in ais,
country like Mr.. Ford wers sxlnibidlE1
no special fervor for speed It is only
when the senate has the matter in
hand that they become alarmed lest de-
lays will prove disastrous.
The Frecman-Journal believes the
senate should speed up and that it
should reach a vote as soon as possible
but it resents the demagogic plea of
the president and Mr. Ford and others
like them that the senate alone is
responsible for prOcraStination in dis
posing of the peace and League of
Nations problems.

land is having her mind so full of matters in connection with her elec- tion to parliament such as whether she shall wear her hat in the house or rise when she addresses the speaker or tip the waiter when she entertains at tea on the terrace of the house Of commons and perhaps other puzzling matters, that she might possibly for get the good old U. s. A.
 In order that she might not forget he decided upon one of those Keep Your Memory Green things of which Souvenir" Taylor is the leading rep resentative in this country and prob ably in the world. Souvenirs, as a matter of fact, are d great aid to memory and the kind that Souvenir l Taylor sends out in such a prodigal manner remind one of Souvenir" Taylor, anyway.
 1 When Lady Astors election to a seat in the parliament became known and there was no going behind the re- turns or reports about if such ra- tio is maintained in other districts Lady Astor's election is assured: when l as was said, the cable announced that 1 her majority was something like 5000, l with all towns heard from, after a few weeks Souvenir" Taylor sent to
 Lady Astor a beautiful postal card, inscribed in the Taylorian manner and which is reproduced in The Cour- ant this morning.
 This souvenir will remind Lady As
 tor of the U. s. A. There is the coun- try home in winter with the pine
 trees and the chimney is prominent in
 the picture. No smoke is seen issuing
 from it and when showing the card tl
 friends, perhaps a Duchess or a
 Countess, Lady Astor will explain all
 about the Garfield order. about coal
 conservation and then it will be un-
 derstood why there is no smoke. The
 American flag and the mistletoe are
 as well known in England as here an6 no explanation will be required about
 them. Of course if it was trick pie ture and had some concealed joke ii
 might take a long time for Lady As | tors friends in England to, understand
 it but this card is not of that sort. Ii , is good, old fashioned Taylor card.
 Souvenir Taylor is now waiting for
 Lady Astors acknowledgment and , when it is received he will place it ir his collection or deposit it in the Con-
 necticut State Library. Merry Christ
 mas, Souvenir Taylor, and may you be as happy as those to whom you send your gift cards.
