That his league had experienced warm

Just what can be done about the
ruling of Judge Landis is a simp1e

dictator of baseball in America. and
his word is law. Magnates of the
Virginia League do not intend to 90

He added that Arbuckle is expect

out involving them as participants,
and not as peace makers in a multi
tude of quarrels the merits of which
they are unable to Judge.
The foregoing platform plank is
being interpreted by Mr.. Harding to
mean that as long as the United
States tenders its good offices in any
threatening situation and confers
from time to time with other powers
whenever a grave crisis in world af-
fairs arises, America will be con-
forming to republican party policy.
This was the view of Senator Knox,
when he proposed his famous para
grapi. five to the original resolution
declaring peace with Germany. The
paragraph was withdrawn so as not
to provoke tn eXtraneous discussion
about future policy but the idea is
firmly in Mr.. Harding's mind So also
bunal as a means of calling nations
into conference periodically for dis
cussion of information al problems.
OF one thing the world may be GER
tain-there is to be no formal thing
to be known as the arding associa-
ton of nations. The president be-
lieves in occasional conference and
constant association with other pow
ers for the good of the world That's
as far as he wishes to go at present
irrespective of whether the Geneva
league lives or dies.

WILSON LOSES THIRD
GAME OF SERIES.

Meeker and Quinn in Great Pitchers
Duel, with Former in Winning
Role. The Colts Secure but -Four
Hits, while Bugs Make only Three.
Score 3 to o.
Saturday afternoon at Richmond
the Colts duplicated the feat OF the
day previous and took the League
Leading Bugs into camp by the close
score of to 0. 1t was remarkably
we'll played game and one of the
fastest seen in Richmond this season.
With the series standing one all
a great deal of interest was displayed
in the contest and a good crowd at
tended. They were rewarded for their
attendance by seeing a great exhi-
bition of the national pastime. Both
teams performed in good style neith-
er earning a run. Meeker and Quinn
who opposed each other in the box
pitched great games and with perfect
support neither team would have
scored. Quinn pitched as well as did
Meeker but he was the victim of two
errors, one being made by himself.
On the other hand he pitched one of
the best games of his career and real
ly deserved a win. Meeker, however,
was we'll nigh invincible and worked
out the very best contest of his
seasons career. Not a single Wilson
player reached third base during the
game, and he was really never in
danger of being scored upon. Many
brilliant plays were pulled but the
outstanding features of the after
moons performance was the work of
right fielder Shannon for Richmond.

certain facts not brought out before
will be placed before the meeting in
Norfolk.
Frank Walker, center-fielder and
part owner of the Rocky Mount fran
chise, visited Richmond yesterday
and had a talk with President Brad
ley and Tom Clarke, the manager of
the Wilson team. Neither Clarke nor
Walker would give out a statement
as to what would hapen at the con-
ference, next week. Both, however,
indicated they had se1eral trump
cards yet to play and would expose
them at the Norfolk meeting.
The daily times., 1921-09-12

President Bradley has broken
clean on the proposition. He states
that he hasn't the slightest idea OF
contending for the matter of throw
ing games out that Wilson has won
In fact he hasn't the authority to do
so. This is a question for the Vir-
gIn1a League Directors TO bring up if
they desire, but the chances are that
such action will not be attempted.
If it is there are other ways of
handling the proposition that may
work to the interest of the local
club, and of course nothing. is going
to be left undone to protect the
rights of the Wilson fans in their
baseball property.
The daily times., 1921-09-12

Frank Lawrence at Virginia
League meeting went on record as
being in favor of getting a winning
ban club. In fact he threatened to
throw the lid off and disregard the
cost. Evidently he has done that
same thing. Anyhow he has secured
better ball players than he had dur
ing the first half, and better ball
players really cost more money. But
he is in the salary limit, and with
him the limit is the sky.
The daily times., 1921-09-12

1t is an unfortunate matter all the
way thru. With a sense of good
craftsmanship the question would
have been settled finally. The Vir-
ginia League Directors after investi-
eating charges brought against the
clubs concerned voted the franchise
to Rocky Mount. Mike Sexton whose
business it is to look out after the
affairs of Minor Leagues, and who
was appointed specifically for that
purpose made a personal investiga-
tion of the matter and advised the
Virginia League to drop the contro-
yersy. He evidently saw that all
were TRAVELLING in the same boat. On
the other hand the owners of the two
clubs mentioned were not satisfied,
and so they carried the matter to
Judge Lands. Without having the
same opportunity to make an inves-
tigation, and without even giving
certain clubs the opportunity for de-
fense, without sending them a copy
of the specific charges made against
them, he makes a decision, and
awards the pennant to a club that
does not deserve it. Again we say il
is sense of justice that is rather
warbled and queer, and especially is
this true when it comes from a man
who by training should see the in

FATTY ARBUCKLE

San Francisco, Sept. 11-Roscoe

murder late last night, in connection
with the death Friday of Miss Vir-
party in Arbuckle's suite at hotel
here last Monday. Arbuckle was lock-
The daily times., 1921-09-12

Quinn pitched a great game Sat
urday, and it was particularly note
worthy in view of the fact that he
had worked on Thursday, having but
one days rest. His pitching should
not be blamed for the defeat for he
worked even a better game than on
Thursday when his team mates Sc
cured seven runs for him.
The daily times., 1921-09-12

We lost two out of three from
same number from Rocky Mount.
They thus gained a game on us dur
ing the week, but we are still three
and half games to the good. That
is not small lead, and they will
have to play mighty good game
while we experience a slump if they
overtake us.
The daily times., 1921-09-12

Portsmouth is certainly over the
salary limit, and there isn't any rea-
son to doubt but that she has been
all along. She accuses Rocky Mount
and Wilson, and .Judge. .Landis eye

The daily times., 1921-09-12

The statement appearing in the
press that Wilson was the only club
in the League refusing to get within
the limit earlier than July 23rd is a
rank statement to say the least, and
hasn't the slightest truth in it. Will
son got under just as soon as the 9TH
ers, and we are of he opinion that
she got under even sooner. 1t is
we have mentioned already is under
even now. However, this matter will
probably take on a new light after
Wednesday.

Tarboro, and the chances are that
Richmond and Norfolk will see things

ing at Norfolk Wednes>ay night and
all pulling together there ought to
be very interesting developments.
The daily times., 1921-09-12

Even if the League Directors
should decide to penalize Wilson for
the first part of the second half,
throwing games out that she has won.
Wilson would yet have a chance, and
particularly if all clubs in the League
that were over have the games that
they have won cast out. OF course
there is no doubt but that the Vir-
ginia League directors will see this
matter in the right light.

When George Washington told the
truth about the hatchet episode he
was commended by his father, and
since that time truth telling has been
the standard set for all good boys to
conform to. Rocky Mount and Will
son told the truth, and Judge Lands
sticks it to them. On the other hand
telling the truth is right, and reward
will very likely spring up in some
other manner than at the hands of
the upright judge. 49,,

Truth will out is a statement that
we have accepted for many moons,
and we yet have no reason to doubt
the statement. On the other hand
we would like for it to disclose itself

and Of the Newport News Club, and
the chances are that such will hap
pen at an early date.

The matter of having the first half
pennant given as paper award
wouldn't be so bad as it is but for
the fact that the team securing it
will never be able to convince any
one that it isn't guilty of the same
thing that it has accused others Of.
There isn't any doubt about it what
ever. 1t is only question of fur
nishing the proof.
