Deny Rumors of Dissension

1t was rumored about Coogan's
Bluff that Fred Toney and John J.
McGraw had had verbal duel after
Mondays game, and that as result
the big pitcher had fed to parts un-
known. The Giant management,
through the voice of Secretary Joseph
O'Brien, denied that anything Of the
kind had occurred. Perhaps Fred
was entitled to day off after the
hammcring he received Monday.
Leslie Mann, who has played on many
big league team, and has ever been
prone to gain the disfavor of umpires,
was banished from yesterdays game by
Mr.. Rigler. Mann was not all satisfied
with the strikes called on him in the
fifth inning. But the strikes went as
called and Leslie went as told.
Two Of the four hits off Barnes were
doubles, McHenry and Clemens being
responsible. The only triple of the
game was contributed by George Burns
in the sixth. So it would appear that
the "lively ball" acted fairly decently
yesterday despite Kelly's home run.

is in tie agenda. But the school that
belie,'s in Mr.. Wells, the school that
regards Mr.. Wilson as literally a
prophet and a martyr. in the biblical
sense, the school that provided the
idealism that was back of the League
of Nations. is still with US and is be-
ing warmed up again.
There is a lot of spiritual lightning
in the atmosphere, and it tends to
come together. If the right leadership
comes along it is capable of doing
something very big. There is lot Of
praying being directed at the confer
ence; and anybody who doubts that
prayer can accomplish things has al
lowed cynicism to blind his ordinary
powers of observation. To say just
what is the process through which
prayer brings things about would in
volve us in metaphysical and theo-
logical argument, but of the central
truth there can be no doubt. Never
theless the overwhelming chances are
that the statesmen who have their
grip on the conference will be able to
keep it where they want it kept.
Mr.. Wells, in his interview the 9TH
er day, said he would remain at the
conference "as long as he found it
interesting" The probability say
it with sincere regrets that Mr..
Wells will find the conference not
only uninteresting but acutely dis
couraging within very few weeks.

Welle's Vision OF a New World
In this present world" he says.
men live to be themselves; having
their lives, they lose them; in the
world that we are seeking to make,
they will give themselves to the God
Of mankind, and so they will live in
deed. They Will us d matter of course
change their institutions and their
methods, so that ell mon may be
used to the best effect in the COM
mon work of mankind. They will
take this little planet, which has
been torn into shreds Of possession,
and make it again one garden.
The spirit of God in man is cry

But when Mr.. Wells, in another Of
his recent books. takes up the actual
steps which must compose the first
progress towards an ideal world, he
marches head-on against a most
formidable mass of prejudices and
inherited convictions. He says the
first thing to do is to get rid Of all the
things that make clcavagcs among
national boundary lines; we must
throw off national patriotisms; we
must achieve a common language, a
single Worldwide currency, and the
like. Mr.. Wells attitude towards
the League of Nations is one of dis
approval: but the reasons for his
disapproval are not the same as
Hiram Johnson's, for example, Mr.
Wells disapproves Of the League Of
Nations, not because it goes too far
hut because it doesn't go far enough.
He says: II would have this idea of
