JAP OUTBURSTS
URGED AGAINST
BY BARON GOTO
Explains Part of Cam
paign Here Is Ques-
ton Just Now

TOXIC. Oct. 3.-Anti-American
outbursts by the japanese press are
strongly deprecated by Baron Goto,
former minister of foreign affairs,
and who may be Japan's next pre-
mier. He continues firm in his re-
fusal to lead an attack against the
Japanese government over its Amer
lean policy and in a statement to the
Reuter- news agency correspondent
here today he expressed the hope
than an early settlement of the anti
Japanese movement in California
NAV be reached.
"The anti-Japanese situation in
the United States is merely phase
of the presidential. election there" +"
Baron Goto said, "and is part of a
general question which the wisest
statesmen on both sides of the Pa
cific must face with the view of secur-
ing some fundamental settlement.
The question of the ownership of land
in California is only part of the
real issue. which is the question of
discrimination. The japanese peo-
pie must remain cool and refuse to
permit vote-catching politicians in
either country to stampede them,
while responsible statesmen must
later seek a proper solution. This is
sue must be settled honorably on
both sides and the Japanese must ap-
peal to the sense of honor and justice
Of America"

Negroes In North
Longing For Home

TOWNSVILLE, Oct. 4-Letters
received here of late from some Of
the colored laborers who went to the
various industries in the North within
the past year or so would indicate
that many of them were ready and
willing to come back to their Geor-
gia homes.
These letters state that many of
the factories are either shutting
down or cutting down their forces
of workmen and that in consequence
a number of those who had been get
ting fine wages and had plenty of
work were now thrown out and with
no demand for their services and
with the winter coming on things
were beginning to look serious. If
begins to look now as If the tide
would turn back this way again and
there would soon be an abundance
of labor in the South.

Robe PENNANT
WINNER TWICE

NEW YORK Oct. Manager Will
bert Robinson, who for the second
time in five years has led the Brook
lyn National League clubs players
successfully as pennant winners to be
contestants for the World Series
Championship struggle, was born at
Hudson, Mass, Sc years ago. For So
years Robinson has been identified
with the national game. Away back
in 1884 he was catcher for the Hav.
erhill, Massachusetts, team for which
at that time John Kinley Tener was
one of the clubs pitching staff. Dur
ing 1884 and the following season
Tener and Robinson proved to be a
very effective battery. Many years
later Pitcher Tener was elected gov
ernor of Pennsylvania and afterward
became the chief executive of the Ma
tional Baseball League.
In 1886 Robinson joined the Phil
adelphia Athletics of the American
Association and in his first major
league game as catcher scored the
only run made by his team, which
was beaten a to l by the New York
Metropolitans.
Robinson's fame as a catcher and
batter as well as a fast base runner
is closely allied with Baltimore where
he spent many years of his baseball
career. Back in the COS with McGraw,
Jennings, Keller, Kelley and others,
Robinson established an enviable rep
utation as a great player when Ned
Hanlon's famous Orioles won the
championship three years in success
sion.
After McGraw became manager of
the New York Giants in 1902 Robin
son remained in Baltimore and play
ed for several seasons with the Inter
national League club there.
In the development of pitchers
Robinson was singularly successful
and for several seasons he assisted
his old friend McGraw in this depart
ment. He made several trips to the
spring training camps of the Giants
after he had ceased to be an active
player. AS a pitchers coach with the
New York Nationals he brought out
Rube Marquard, who contributed his
share to the winning of three success
! i've pennants in 1911, ~ and '13.
Robinson began his management OF
the Brooklyn team in 1914 and two
years later made them champions OF
their league. He persuaded President
Ebbetts to secure the services of Mar
guard and Mamaux, when these pitch
ers were on their way to the minor
i leagues and they are still with hin
now that he has landed his club for
the second time as big factor in the
world series.
Never a martinez with his men Rob
inson seems to have an innate power
of controlling his players, displaying 9
sort of fatherly interest in them ant

and camraderie with them gets thu

ROOSEVELT SAYS WOMEN

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4-Franklin D
Roosevelt, starting the ninth week of
his campaign here today, declared the
peak of Republican Strength had been
reached and passed and that support

NEXT TIME WILL BE

PITTSBURG,- Oct. 4.-Informa

was arrested here last night with a
quantity of dynamite in his possess
ion, may lead to the solution of the
recent Wall Street explosion. Of
flcials here expressed this opinion.
Aelemaka was taken into custody at
his hotel after a fight with officers
who went there to arrest him. He is
alleged to have remarked to a com
pion lust before the officers entered
his room. Tell them I'll have the
stuff there tomorrow" Another re-
mark attributed to him as he was
being placed in his cell was: 'See
what we did in Wall street. Next

WOMEN TOKEEP

Doubt How They

DAYTON. Oct 4.-Governor Cox,
at home today from his IL ,000-mile
tour for thought and supposed rest
before going into Kentucky and Ten
nessee, today continued his plea for
the League of Nations. In an ad-
dress to a body of women the gov
ernor went into considerable detail
as to why women voters should sup
port the League cause. Commentino
on the cost of the world war, Cover
nor Cox declared that it was the wo-
men who know what the war really
cost, "for they paid the price in per-
sonal suffering to provide the rulers
of the earth with the 100000 men
who were thrown in battle"
Governor Cox said that the League
of Nations would not only prevent
war, which he asserted is its primary
purpose, but that it also will promote
progress, and will either ''set up or
itself become clearing house for in
ternatlonal Justice as well as social
Justice" Asserting that the issue
lis not a fundamentally legal or dip
lomatic ISSUE" but moral one, and
declaring that it is fortunate that
women today for the first time hold
the balance of power and the decid-
ing vote. Governor Cox said he had
no doubt in his mind as to how the
women's votes would be cast. Con
tinuing, h" said "the women of Amer
lea will vote to keep our pledges to
the $1,000 heroes whose blood Grim

Billy Sunday Would Give Ball

Tribute To Old Pal,

Noted Evangelist and Former Base
ball Star


ROANOKE, Va, Oct. Al am
grateful for the opportunity to say
word in defense of organized base
bal-the best, the manifest, the most
distinctively American sport under
the sun.
If foreign foe should attack the
nation every man who had a drop
of red blood in his veins would rise
to her defense.
The same sort of spirit, the same
sense of loyalty, stirs the public in
a desire to drive out the dastardly
interests that are attempting to cor
rupt baseball, whether they are in
the grandstand or wear the uniform.
| know baseball to be the cleanest
sport in America. | know it from top
to bottom. But, because the damna-
BILE, crooked gambling fraternity has
corrupted few players the public
will unjustly condemn all players of
the game as whole, no more than
it would condemn all banks because
one banker is an absconder.
| take off my hat to Charles Com
iskey; my old friend and pal of other
days, who has shown his determina-
tion to keep baseball clean by his
manly and courageous act in suspend
ing the indicted players, thereby
running his chances to nose Cleveland
out in the spectacular race for the
pennant.
We who love the game-and there
are millions of us-will rally to its
defense and the grand old sport will
emerge from this dark cloud cleaner
and better than ever befor.
l am sure that following the dis
closures of the past few days, that
the great army of American fans
feel as l do, not so much spirit
of condemnation as one of genuine
grief that such thing could happen
that players could be found who
would yield to the villainous gamb-
ling influences and wreck not only
their own futres but mar the unsullied
reputation of baseball.
We all experience a feeling of
deepest regret that the spirit of greed
and avarice, rampant in many walks
