where he gave the first pronounce
ment of his attitude toward the

act, Governor Cox. democratic can

for having mo definite plan to Of

Has No Substitute
"The. reason Senator Harding
has no definite plan to offer in
substitution, for the league of ma
tions is because he does not dare
suggest to the mothers Of America
the only alternative there is:
namely, a return to international
'normalcy OF 191 4with autocratic
monarchs and sudden ultimatums'
and secret diplomacy and burden
some armaments.
"Of course the reason Senator
Harding has no substitute to sug-
gest for the league Of nations n
because everything else has been
tried and has failed. The inter
| parliamentary union hell interna-
tional conference for decade be-
fore the great war; The Hague
court had been 'functioning fol

players were to get $4,000 but
that they were double crossed by

trade mark on it," repenting after
having thrown two games, he said
he pitched hard to win his third
start. Either Gandil. who Cicotte
said first arranged the throw
ing" or Abe Atteil, the go-between
of gamblers, got $4,000 which ths
eight players were TO have re-
ceived.
