to say regarding the outlook fol

country when it comes to backing
clean athletics.
"Why, say, have never seen. the
time when so many were ready tt

What he is in need Of most is two
dependable infielders, a couple o.
hard-hitting outfielders and aboui
two or three pitchers of known

that he can get team together BY

run for their money.

EVENTUALLY, WHY NOT NOW?

No body doubts that the United
States will become member of the
League of Nations finally. But, here
is Il puzzle:
If Mr.. Harding and the Senate
adopts new League can they
hope that the 40 nations that havd
adopted the Versailles League will
drop it and adopt new one? BY
taking our hat in our hand and
approaching Germany in an humble
manner, we may make separate
peace treaty with that nation, such
a treaty as the German people may
see fit to accept. And so, the only
way out of great middle is to elect
Governor Cox, and be done with it.
