OF the 40 games in which Ruth hit

of the games in which he hit two

WANTS HIS OLD PAL BACK.

WANTS HIS OLD PAL BACK.
Sentiment still exists in the racing
game. -......t t@...
Some time ago the fortunes Of Jack
Richardson went flooie and he was
forced to part with Manoevre, a geld
ing who was his pal as well as his
whole stable.
Richardson journeyed to California
There luck came to him again He
bought a ball OF the choicest California
hay he could purchase, expressed 1t
along with him and headed for Mary
land
When he arrived there he couldn' t
locate the present owner of Manoevre
but he found the horse in the stable.
There he delivered the hay with in
structions that none but Manoevre was
to get any part OF it.
Richardson waited more than an
hour for Manoevre's owner to show
up. But it wasn't a wasted hour. For
he and the horse renewed old friend
ships.
''Manoevre may not be the greatest
race horse in the world, but he's the
smartest and the most lovable," de,
clared Richardson. Hes coming back
to me as soon as I can make deal
with the man who owns him now. And
when he comes back, he comes to
stay"

ed and would appreciate such an ap-

this was an admirable suggestion

with Colonel Harvey at once and
make him the offer of the French

ship has been uninterrupted, I
thought it would be more tactful if
I should approach him through the
junior senator from New York,
James O'Gorman. Immediately upon
leaving the president, went to the
University club, where Senator
O'Gorman was staying, and told him
of my conversation with the presi-
dent in reference to Colonel Harvey.
He was enthusiastic and immedi-
ately got in touch with Colonel Har-
vey at his home at Deal, N. j., told
him of the presidents offer, and ask
ed for a conference. Then a thing
happened which completely destroy
ed these plans for a reconciliation.
The following Sunday an interview
signed by Colonel Harvey, bitterly
assailing the president, appeared in
the New York Times. The fat was
in the fire. Senator O'Gorman and
were silenced. When I approach
ed the president on Monday morning
to discuss further the matter with
him, he said: IT greatly regret this
interview Of Colonel Harvey's. How
can I now with propriety offer him
any post? Knowing Harvey as I
do, he would be reluctant to take it,
for the country might be of the opfn-
ion that he had yielded in his criti-
cism of me by the offer of this ap-
pointment, and I could not in honor
make the appointment now, for it
might appear to the country that
by this method was trying to pur-
chase the silence of the colonel. T
am very sorry, indeed, that the plan
we discussed has fallen to the
ground"
And thus the efforts Of Mr.. Will
son to bring about reconciliation
with his old friend ended in dismal
failure.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The wheat market was
cratic throughout the session todny, but
there was not the confidence in the bull
ranks as was displayed a few days ago.
The general answer to the question as to
what the market is going to do was that,
while it will work higher, the possibilities
are for a setback first. The rains the
southwest reported yesterday failed to pen
citrate sections where most needed, and this
encouraged buying, but report Of snow at
Hutchinson, Kan, later denied, and the
forecast for rain or snow over Kansas in
duced selling. The fact that the deliveries
Of cash wheat are failing to find perma-
nent Judgment was played up by the bears
as well as the reports of Canadian wheat
bought by Minneapolis mills, and a cargo
bought by Duluth for shipment after the
also depressing factors. No export demand
was reported at the seaboard, while mill
ing demand for wheat is at a standstill.
Wheat closed unsettled at sc net de-
Corn was strong early, but prices were
inclined to ease little during the later
buying early and some Of the professionals
bought. On the bulge eastern houses were
good sellers. Exporters took 100000 BUSH
els Of corn, but higher prices asked by
shippers checked the eastern demand. Re
weather checked the offers to arrive.
Corn closed firm. %@1ac to sc net
In oats the feature was the buying of
May by Armour. There was some local
selling and also some changing. Cash oats
basis was easier. Shipping demand slowed
UP because Of the higher offers put out.
Provisions were without feature.
There was a little short covering, but
pressuer on lard carried prices off.

GERMANY PLEASED
WITH HARDING IDEA

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-Germany is en-
tirely in sympathy with the Harding
association of nations plan, DR.. Wal
ter Won Simons, former foreign min
lister, declared in an interview here
today.
1.-THE new slogan Of the majority
of German people is-'it shall not be
again, >" Won Simons said. "For this
reason Germany could not mobilize
her forces for another war even if
she wished"
DR.. Won Simons said he could not
conceive any German government
which would not gladly accept Amer
ioa's invitation to discuss the asso-
citation plan.
CAS- a jurist I naturally favor ar
bitration Of the courts he declared.
IT consider this as the only means
of removing our danger and conse-
urently consider Gernany's atti-
tude at The Hague peace conference
as a crime.
'But 1 am opposed to a France
which wants to make the League OF
Nations an administrative tool. I
rather favor President Harding and
Secretary Hughes, who seem to plan
a gradual development of the origi'
nal Hague court.
Germany has not applied for mem
bership in the League Of Nations for
two reasons, he said. The first is
because France has said Germany is
unworthy Of membership and second
ly, because she has said Germany is
not disarmed and has not sufficient
ly proved it's sincerity for fulfillment
Of the Preparations demands.
"The world knows what tremen'
dous amounts we already have de-
Iivered in behalf of Preparations" he
said.
1.-THE Wiesbaden agreement is the
newest proof of our readiness and if
we have not commenced to fulfill it,
it is because of the French attitude,
forced by their industries which are
opposed to it.
1.-THE French allegation that we
are not disarmed is likewise false
Premier BRAND says we are able to
mobilize seven million men, but he
forgets that Germany would not
obey mobilization order.
Furthermore. the majority OF
Germans are against the League OF
Nations, because as your President
Harding has said, it is not a League
of Nations but a league Of VictOrS.'"
