New York, Oct. when the in

cricketers-played a match in the vi

was 473 runs. With conservatism one

AS understand it, the primary object
of baseball, as in cricket, is to amass
runs. Obviously then the British
sport offers more value for money re-

London, Oct. LEADERS of the

they desire complete separation of Ire

measure of dominion home rule, If 1t
can be proved a majority of the Irish
people demand it, says the Daily Mall.
This intimation, the newspaper de-

proaches made by the Irish peace
council, a body Of moderates from all
parts of Ireland. which has just COM
pleted a plan for dominion home rule
in the island.
Prior to adjournment of parliament
members of this council interviewd
Premier Lloyd George. who told them
that before submitting any scheme
they must be able to assure him of
sufficient support in Ireland to guar
antee that the scheme would be work
able. This support the council claims
to have obtained, and the Mail asserts
the premier will receive a deputation
from the organization next week to
take the initial step in the scheme.
The first thing that will be done, the
newspaper says. will be the creation
of a constituent assembly for Ireland
