Made Bid for Ruth.
So with this Introduction,
asked Grimth what he thought
Of the Ruth deal was knock =
ed cold when shown n telegram
from Bostoa. which reads
Clark Grimth. President WASH
ington Baseball Club.
Sorry. Your offer for Ruth
docs not interest me. Have bet-
ter oner from another club.
This telegram was dated Iast
Saturday.
The Philadelphian broke into the
argument with this remark: That
lon't look as though We won't spend
money for a player. And besides
he president can so as far as he
ikes IL he can secure any star he
wants. But to tell you the truth
would prefer to get youngsters. Not
II need be kids. but I always be-
ieve in giving boys a chance.
Gives kids Chance.
Il make it a point to grab as many
Youngsters in my business as 1 nseI.
sou may be surprised to know that
don't engage college youths either.
<ot that they are not well edu-
;ated to become successful business
iicn. but the kind l grab are mes
'enger boys. They are the kind for
ne. have about 20 of them with
ne now. Three years ago I picked
Ip a kid that carried messages to
ny ofice and today he is making
5000 a year handling some of the
nost important business l have on
he exchange.
Il believe in kids and have found
hem to prove winners and tInnn
he same can be applied to baseball
u course / know and realize that the
ans like to see stars, but where do
I'll the ball players come from? The
OTIS and they are all kids
Ruth was an unknown. a couple of
'ears ago. Look at him today. There
ire more Ruths laying round and we
IRE going to see il we can't land
few of them-evn il We have to
pend our own money to develope
hem
e. Wants Winner.
That is the style Of a partner Presi-
lent Griffith Is connected with. So
the fans can see that they have a
nan who wants a winner. He knows
ls well as the next one that money
cGnnot buy the pennant. Far be 1t
from that But he looks upon the
Othe: side correctly. Develop your
youngsters and you will soon have
? winner
President Griffith heartily approved
al Of the above and said that
is exactly his idea OF having a club.
We may not get so far this year with
our youngsters but give US a little
time and We will show the fans in
Washington that we are going to
have a winner il time. patience and
money can secure one
The regular program outlined by
The Herald yesterday morning was
carried through. And the official
roster OF the officers and board of
directors is the same that has been
mentioned in this column several
times. Now that evrything is settled
President Griffith will get busy and
mail the balance of his contracts to
the regular players and in a short
the he will be prepared to listen to
the .ales OF woe over the II. c. L.

time as they had established a perma-
nent government, the Secretary OF State
said these boundaries should properly
include the whole Of Russia with the
exception Of Finland proper, ethnic Po-
land and such territory as might by
agreement form a part of the indie.
pendent Armenian state.
The aspirations of these nations
for independence are legitimate. bt
said, because each was forcibly an.
nexed by old Russia, and their lib.
Grafton consequently involved no ag.
gressions against Russia's territorial
rights.
A declaration by the allied and
associated powers that the territorial
integrity of Russia should be re-
; spected. the Secretary continued, pre-
supposed the withdrawal of all for
eign troops from the territory EN-
| braced by these boundaries ant
should be accompanied by the an
nouncement that no transgression by
Poland, Finland or any other power
of the line SO drawn and proclaimed
| would be permitted.
Thus only" he asserted, "can the
bolsheVist regime be deprived of It's
false, but effective, appeal to Russian
nationalism and compelled to meet
the inevitable challenge of reason
and Self-respect which the Russian
people. secure from invasion and ter.
ritorial violation, are sure to address

them and tyranny that Expresses

Those who charge there is move

the food and munition stores being
accumulated as evidence to support
their contention.
1t is said that there is now in Hum

more than $1000.000 ready for army
use. Twenty-eight war tanks ana
large quantities of rifles have been
received Large supplies of munitions
have been manufactured, ostensibly
for the Polish forces, but the Poles
have complained that these have not
reached the anti-bolshevik forces.
Whatever secret Intentions some
elements may have. it is said. II rs
apparent that Hungary is strengthen
ing its armed forces to be in po-
sition to assume mcnaclng attl-

Vienna government attempt to take
over western Hungary or to combine
with Poland should communism be-
come dangerous among the CZechs.
