 Gompers Urges Arms Conference
WINTER BASEBALL LEAGUE OWNERS
 ARE BIG LOSERS

San Francisco, Dec o.-Approxi- mately $45,ooo will be lost by owners of clubs in the new California Winter Baseball League during it's 1o-week seaSon which closes December 6, ac- cording to estimates by league offic- ials here. Lack of patronage is given as the reason.
 The league is made up of four clubs, representing Los Angeles, Yer non, San Francisco and the Mission District of San Francisco. Four major league stars, Roger Hornsby, George Sisler, Ty Cobb and Harry Heilman, are pilots of the teams. The other players are from the Pacific coast baseball leagues.
 Owners of the winter league clubs are identified with the coast league teams. At the opening of the season they took out insurance against rain and this cut down their losses, for rain has caused cancellation of 13 games here to date, and one in Los Angeles.

Four members including Cabeza de Vaca were captured by the Indians and spent eight years wandering through the country eventually reaching the Gulf of California. It was their ac- counts of rich Indian villages which led the Mexican governor to send Coronado to explore this country. He returned after a two-years' trip without discover ing the reputed riches which he was seeking.
 To counteract the aggressions of the French settlements in Louisiana, the Spanish estab- lished many missions throughout Texas, the most important be- ing at San Antonio. When the United States negotiated the Louisiana Purchase from France they considered that Texas was a part of this territory. Over this question war was nearly precipitated but finally the Uni ted States withdrew their claims in exchange for Spain's with drawal of claims to the Oregon region.
 Many Americans began to set tie in Texas, among them Gen eral Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. Mexico became alarmed at this rapid increase of American pioneers which threatened to crowd out the Mex ican population. Oppressive measures were adopted and caused the Americans to rise in rebellion in 1886. During this uprising occurred the gallant de fense of the Alamo by handful ] of Americans and their slaughter by the vastly superior numbers of the Mexicans. Remember the 1 Alamo" became the Texans slo- ] gan. General Houston decisive ly defeated the Mexican forces { at the battle of San Jacinto and the Republic of Texas was ; launched with Houston as presi- dent. The flag contained one 1 star, and from this has come the ! name the Lone Star State. After 1 considerable opposition from the North, Texas was annexed to : the Union and became the twen- ! ty-eighth state.

President Harding and his Cabinet
to-day took under consideration the
foreign policy Of the United states at
one OF the most important Cabinet
meetings the new Administration has
held. The purpose Of the meeting was
to familiarize the Cabinet with the
problems facing this Government
rather than to formulate policy.
Only in a tentative way were recon-

Laggard China

While all the other nations in
vited to the Washington conference
are eager to make the most of their
opportunities there, China hangs
back. Her future is at stake in the
settlements of Pacific problems which
are to be attempted. She will take
part in the Far Eastern controversy,
but she will also be a subject of it.
Under such conditions she should do
everything possible to protect her in
terests and strengthen her case.
The conference will meet two
weeks from Friday. But the Chinese
factions haven't yet come together
on so elemental proposition as fac
ing the outside world as a unit.
When the Sultan's government rati-
fed the Treaty of Sevres, the rival
Angora government refused to
ratify it and asserted complete indie
pendence Of Constantinople. Yet
when the treaty was revised at Lon
don last winter delegates from both
Turkish capitals attended and
worked in harmony.
China's two administrations are
in the same fix. Both are concerned
to avoid further violations Of China's
territorial integrity and political in
dependence. Both want to see Japan
forced to restore Shantung. But if
no one can speak at Washington for
united China, the other nations
may feel that there is no genuine
desire among the Chinese for politi-
cal and territorial unity. 1t will
be a great disappointment to those
who want to hold the Chinese door
open if the opening Of the door at
Washington discloses nothing but a
divided and discordant household.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-26

don "New Statesman" writes: ut

quences of the signature of the peace
treaty, and it announces that it will
meet the new taxes by general agri-
cultural strike Of hitherto un-
heard-of kind, including the stop
page Of the supply of milk to the
towns"
The German agrarians don't care
SO much as they did about German
babies. When the Allies blockaded
Germany, to dissuado the Germans
from the slaughter of non-comba-
tants on land and sea, the German
Nationalists called it an atrocity.
When German Nationalists blockade
Germany in order to dissuade their
own government from the fulfillment
of its international obligation, it is
pure patriotism and a legitimate
method of showing what's what to
republican upstarts.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-26
"Bat" Masterson

1t is not always that the fighters
prayer, Lord, let me die in har-
ness" is answered. In this William
Barclay ("Bat") Masterson. of "The
Morning Telegraph" was especially
favored. He died at his desk grip
ping his pen with the tenacity with
which he formerly clung to the hilt
of his six-shooter.
Masterson, frontier Cyrano de
bergerac in his youth, brought vigor
to his Roaring Forties. When he
came to write he showed directness
of expression combined with little
notion Of yelling his dislikes. The
twenty-eight notches on the weapon
which he had discarded when he took
up the pen inspired certain respect
for Masterson's opinions.
One who knew him in the West
said of him, "Masterson improved
the world considerably by the people
he removed from it," Another said.
"Masterson is most liked for his dis
likes" In New York he specialized
on pugilism, game which he knew
and admired. He abominated crook
edness and hypocrisy. Often in fight
ing them he seemed to chafe at be-
ing restricted to the use of verbal
weapons.
And so the shade of BAT Mas
terson, erect in the saddle, has rid
den out into the night to pick up the
trail of those who knew the old West.

last frontier, where the great ad-
venturers and warriors ride-Kit
