KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Nov. i0.-'The
break that threatens the very life OF
organized baseball would be ridicu-

member and one OF the founders OF
the American League In the move
ment that strikes at the welfare OF
his own league and the foundation
OF organized baseball.
Connie Mack. famous manager and
half owner of the Philadelphia Ath-

pany with Ban Johnson. the Ameri-
can League president, was among
the first Of the major jleaguers to
reach Kansas City.
Johnson Immediately disappeared
probably to confer with minor league
authorities. but the veteran club

"A twelve-club league will prove
unwieldy. 1t will not be a success"
said Mack. II played In the twelve

high mark. and there were runaway

THE organization of the present

outgrowth Of this old bulky twelve.
club league. Comiskey and Johnson
worked side by side, giving their best

the American League.
Our league today owes a large part
OF its pre-eminence in baseball to the
united efforts. the loyal toll and la
Dor of Johnson and Comiskey.
"And now We face the tragedy of
Comiskey lining up against the or
ganization ne strove so nobly and
well to build. If it wasn't for this the
talk of twelve-club league would
appear ridiculous. But with Com

the house he helped to build it is
tragic.
= SCORES NATIONAL LEAGUE.
"Ther is no fight by the so-caIled
loyal five as far as individuals are
concerned. We have only respect and
love for Comiskey. He has been one
OF us for years. We have only
feeling of friendliness for Frazee and
Rupert, newcomers in our league.
We have made no organized opposi-
rfion to them or to their interests.
But 1t seems strange" continued
Mack, "that the National League
now plays SO prominent a part in q
strife among the owners Of the Amer
lean League clubs. And there was no
malice, but rather a grieved feeling
that 1t should be so.
1.-TWO years ago. when the National
League was rent with family quar-
rels, the American League refused to
take any part. but let them settle
their own difficulties. I find 1t hard
to understand why the National
League should now be taking a part
in our troubles. We kept our hands
off when the National was torn with
internal dissension. Why should we
not be left to patch our own quar-
rels?"

After last Saturdays game at Cam
bridge we heard more than few
Harvard undergraduates and alumni
comment on the ease with which the
spectators followed Princeton plays.
The numbers on the backs OF the
Tigers could be easily discerned from
any part Of the huge stadium. On
the other hand. comparatively few in
that crowd knew what Harvard man
carried the ball or tackled in close
scrimmages.
Harvard's team is almost as much
of a mystery to Harvard undergradu-
ates as it is to the general public.
For the last two weeks the Crimson

In none of the games UP to last
Saturday was the full strength OF
the varsity eleven shown.
HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
Coach Knox, who knows every
member of the squad and views the
games from a convenient side line,
cannot understand why the spectators
cannot identify players without num-
bers. We venture to say that If Mr..
Knox were suddenly deposited in a
high stand and presented with q
bird's-eye view OF the game, say be-

DAYLIGHT SAVING

As summer days come and the fish-
ing and motoring seasons again ap-
proach, don't you wish sometimes tha'
we had that daylight saving again!
As a matter of fact lots of Gunnison
folks are openly expressing their de
sire for that delightful lengthening Of
after-supper pleasures, and there IS
some talk of petitioning the town
council fOfs an ordinance. Others be-
lieve better way would be to form an
agreement among the business houses
to keep the same hour time, but 70
open at seven and close at five o'clock,
which would achieve the same purpose,
al,ho at considerable more inconven-
ience and trouble.
War time daylight saving had the
disadvantage of covering seven
months, when five months Of May,
June, July, August and September are
the only ones really adapted to 1t IN
these low latitudes.
In time. daylight saving, or rather
daylight using and daylight enjoying,
will come to be well nigh universal,
but il will take years to overcome the
prejudices and habits We have formed.
Gradually, however, the advantages
as determined in the cities like New
York and Denver which have adopted
it, will induce its spread, and perhaps
the best way to introduce it is to adopt
a mutual agreement plan without
changing the clocks, altho the later Is
much more convenient and scientific.

A REQUEST FOR A TREATY

Rocky Mountain News
The so-called peace resolution, the
irreconcilable substitute for the treaty
of Versailles, is nothing more or less
than request from the Senate of the
United States, addressed to the presi-
dent of the United States, in which he
is asked TO negotiate new treaty
with Germany.
"To these ends" says the resoiu-
ton drafted by Senator Knox, and
for the purpose of establishing fully
friendly relations and commercial in
tercourse between the United States
and Germany, the president is hereby
requested Immediately to open negO-
tiations with the government of Ger
many"
The lends" referred to are describ-
ed in the resolution as the making of
treaty whereby Germany shall
guarantee full satisfaction to Ameri-
can claims against the German gov
ernment and all rights and privileges
which would have been secured to the
United States had the treaty of Yer
sailles been ratified.
Such is the inglorious finish of the
irreconcilable bluff and buster. There
can be no peace without treaty; no
treaty without the action of the pres
ident, and he is now humbly implored
to do the thing America once con-
sidered unthinkahIe-to make a sep
arate peace with the enemy in order
that the United States may obtain her
share of the advantages of common
victory and avoid all share in the
common responsibilities.
