Mrs. Ida McGlone Gibson, who has
been making an extended tour
through Georgia in the interest Of
the League Of Nations, met with an
enthusiastic reception. To the Atlanta
Constitution Mrs. Gibson said:
with the signal that the League
of Nations was signed, the sun burst
through the clouds for the first time
that misty day. The fountain played
for the first time in the Versailles
gardens since the war began, and
music resounded everywhere. And I
knew that the glad tidings were that
moment reaching the world and that
the greatest peace message since the
Sermon on the Mount.
"And to think that though we were
the first to sign it, we are the last to
ratify it. Every nation has signed
the message except this one. But do
we blame the American people? No;
| do not accept the fact that Few
politicians invested with authority
which they use for selfish aims rep
resent the people of my country,
America, which gave Pershing's army
to the world.
"If l thought those obstructing
politicians represented the people Of
this country, I should say that every
boy who died in France died in vain,
but they did not die in vain. The
people of this country are not rep
resented by the obstructionists who
hold back the hand of the American
people in ratifying the greatest Of
messages, which the League of Ma
tions represents"

football in the Western Conference
started today when seven of the

play. Iowa and Indiana at Bloom

. bearing on the conference title.
With veterans in the lineup Of
both teams. advanced football was
the order of the day. Indiana has

Iowa, however, has been developed
through scrimmage practice.
DeviRes Iowa Hopes.
Coach Jones Of Iowa, had the De-
vine brothers to rely upon for his
gains, while Stiehm Of the Hoosiers,
evidently was depending upon Viii
liams, a hard fighting back, to be a
strong factor in the game. No de-
cided advantage was apparent to
either side before the game today
and it was thought likely to develop
into a scrimmage out Of which a
loose ball or goal from the field
might hang up an only count.
Minnesota, suffering from ad-
verse rulings eliminating three
star players, declared ineligible,
was scheduled with North Dakota
at Minneapolis. The Gophers, al
ways a slow team to round into
form, were looked to by close fol-
lowers Of the game, to put up good

OF Sevell and Lunte, it is sufii-
cient to say that if Cleveland faces
Brooklyn the .shortfield position
will be guarded for the Indians by
the youngest and greenest kid that
ever faced a world series crowd.
This Is not to say that the job will
not be done we'll. Sewell has al
ready demonstrated that he knows
how to hit and has the disposition
to do 80. Lunte appears to be a
very good and sure fielder. Strong
hitters often go through a nine
game series with few safe bingles,
SO it is not likely that the Speaker
club win conoede anything in ad-
vance because an important post
ia to be filled by a recruit. Fans
NAV also remember that on one
side Of the recruit will be one Of
the greatest money players-Larry
Cardner-that the game has seen,
and Bill Wamby on the other side
may be depended ON to do his share
to keep the kids feet on the ground
and his head up.
Used to Kick EN- Often.
Ivan Olsen opened his major
league career in Cleveland and was
sent back to the coast because Of
his tendency to kick" more ground
balls than a good infielder should
But in spite of this defect, Olson is
a mighty valuable man. 1t is only
in comparison with stars Of Other
wears that Olson seems weak.
Oison's record at the bat is as
GOOD as the average shortstop and
he accepts the usual number Of
chances per game. He has the
sterling merit Of never playing TO!
an average and of being q dan
xarous man at bat in q pinch
where q hit will spell disaster foE
the opposition.
On Sept. II Olson had 1S assists
and one put0ut without an error
