COLOR

Second Baseman Harris OF the
Washington club is the greatest key
stone player in the American League
this year,
He ranks with Eddie Collins and
Larry Lajoie in their prime.
The secret OF his greatness Is
that he goes after everything just
as Collins does and Lajoie once did.
Many players in the big leagues
play for averages-that is, they only
go after balls they think they can
get.
Harris plays every ball and is
always doing the seemingly impos-
sible. That makes him colorful-
and greater than the rest

ment and that of the Mexican nation
means to me a solemn duty which
must be faithfully met" declared Pres
ident Obregon to your correspondent.
1T is therefore humiliating that l
should be asked to give written guar
antees for the fulfilment of moral en-
gagements which have readily made
of my own free will. The existence OF
the Mexican republic as sovereign
state has not been questioned for more
than century. Its government should
therefore be recognized by other coun-
tries without any condition or exactlon
other than that it shall be legally con-
stituted, and shall be able to meet it's
International obligations.
aside, therefore, from the pracepts
of international law which might be in
voked. feel that recognition should
be extended to the Mexican govern
ment in such a manner as to strength
en- it's prestige and give it that moral
support which will make its future re-
lations with the United States all the
closer, instead of being extended in a
manner calculated to make it difficult
to bring about that hearty co-opera-
ton which is to be desired between
the peoples of Mexico and the United
States"
Gen. P. Elias Gales, secretary of the
interior: Adolfo De Lahuerta, secre-
tary of the treasury; Augustine Arroyo,
speaker of the chamber of deputies,
and Chief Justice Manuel Gonzales
of the supreme court, emphatically de-
clared that they were in full accord
with the views expressed by Obregon.
Gen. Gales and former President De
La Huerta stated that every member
of the cabinet shared the presidents
views. Speaker Arroyo and Justice
Gonzales assured the correspondent
that while they had no authority to
speak for the legislative and judicial
body, which they respectively head,
they felt confident that those bodies
would uphold Obregon's views, espe-
cialiy with regard to the nonretractiv-
ity of article 81, when the question
shall be brought before them
