SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. IS
To an uproarious crowd in the Civic
Auditorium here Wednesday night.
President Wilson declared that in his
trip across the continent he had be-
come convinced that the treaty issue
would be decided rightly by the peo-
pie and mot by any pr ivatepupro
pie and mot by any private purpose
of their own"
He repeated his declaration that the
league of nations was not the work
of the Versailles conference, but grew
out of years Of thought by men who
did not devote any portion of their
consideration to politics. Some of the
most constructive minds of both par
ties, he asserted, had been devoted to
the project for a generation.
Declaring the league opponents had
offered no substitute, Mr.. Wilson dis
cussed at length the objections made.
repeating many of his previous argu-
ments against changes. Virtually all
of the features under the debate now,
he declared, had been changed once
along the line of suggestions by the
Senate foreign relations committee.
Right To Withdraw
The right Of withdrawal, Mr.. Wilson
asserted. was virtually absolute under
the covenant in present form. He de-
clared also that the Monroe doctrine
is adequately safeguarded, and that
such questions as migration and tar
iff are reserved for national determine
tion.
Mr. Wilson said that in the assembly
of the league of nations the one vote
of the United States would balance all
of the six of the British Empire.
The council, where the great nations
are on equality anu where unanimity
is required. he declared was the
leagues agency of action. The as
sembly was largely a forum. he said.
where the conscience of the world
could be brought to play upon the
questions likely to lead to war.

It's all because the Braves backstop hasn't been swatting the horse hide for much beyond the 200 mark. But there is nothing really strange in that for Gowdy never was ranked as a really Igreat hitsmith. And when he banged for .5o or so he was doing very well in- deed
 Only once in his career did Gowdy show denomiac power with the bludgeon. And that was in the world series of 1914, when he poled for .545 and almost single handed batted the Athletics out of worlds championship. He had hit for only around .240 during the regular sea- son and never afterward whanged any where near 300. So it is nothing strange that GOwdy is hitting well down in the list now.
 It's his natural stride. France didn't dim his batting orbs.
