HOW PRESIDENT
HARDING WROTE
EA]EFUL WORDS
CONCEIVED PLAN FOR
ARMAMENT CONFERENCE
While on the Yacht May
flower, Tied Up for Night
on Banks of Potomac.

Washington, Nov. 17.-(By Tho Asso-
r!atcd prcsS)--Nho formulated and ex-
ccuted the call for the armament con-
ference" Who solved the American pro-
posals for naval limitation?
The country has been asking these
questions for the last week, ana mas
been hearing a variety OF answers the
bost inside story" in Washington today
has all the earmarks OF being the oor-
rect answer.
President Harding. on one Of his week
end cruises down the Potomac eAfly
this autumn. go the story runs locked
himself In his Statero0m one evening
and left word that he did not wtAh 70
be disturbed. because lie was writing.
a little later. the president called 70
his room one by one. some OF the close
friends In public life who had accom-.
panied him. and laid before them some
sheets OF raper on which he had written
with lead pencil. and with frequent corr
rcrtions and interIineations. something
which they all read with. amazement
and greatest interest. "
BY wireless to HughsG
1t was the invitation to the nations
TO Tho arms conference. After some
conference among the party, II was DE-
cidcd To forward the text to Secretary
hughes, and tho yacht Mayflower. tied
up for the night In the still waters or .
secluded cove in the reaches OF the
river, huzzcd Off from her wireless that
night to the state department, the words
which later were TO ring around the
world.
or course the preliminary diplomatic
fecler was transmitted 10 the nations
concerned. but II Is said that tho text
Of the final and formal invitation as II
later went out. was substantially the
same MS President Harding had con.
cciycI II that night while resting on
the yacht Mayflower down the river.
Tho evolution Of the concrete Amsri.
car proposals for naval Limitation
Secretary hughes bombshell - also
heard around the world at the FIRST seS-
sion, Is still another story.
The Great ssorst
Some admirers have ascribed them
to Secretary Hughes alone. while snmo
other PERSONS have declared they were
the composite effort OF the four Amcri-
can delegates. OF whom Mr.. Hughes Is
enc. Everybody seems agreed that they
wcro no; drafted by naval officials, and
almost everybody mas left out President
Harding until today's inside story" be-
gan to circulate.
The great secret. to which Arthur J.
llalfour referred so nrustically In his
address Of Tuesday. must indeed have
been we'll kent. bcyausc. between seven
and zen men knew II. That number tn
cludcs the four American delegates and
President Harding. The others worked
"n various phases Of the proposal. 1t
Is known. Of course. that It was based
on memoranda called FOR from the navy
department and II was carried into Ak

With Hank Hulyey, pitching per

terdays double bill, he turned the
Waynesboro team down with nine
gooseeggs and only six scattered
hits. Home runs by Neun and Will
son put the game on a safe margin
in the third and fourth innings, and
no more scoring came until the
eighth inning, when just to make
this one contest sure, Brophy sin
gled, with two men out he was the
first on base that inning. Clark
followed with a double to right
field, scoring Brophy from first, who
travelled around the bases rather
rapidly. Rawlings sent Clark home
when he doubled to right. Wilson
closed the inning with a pop out to
Kimmick, at third.
The fielding of ,Kimmick, Bro
ply and Lloyd were features Of the
game, while Rawlings with three
hits out OF four, and Wilson and
Neun with their homers did the
stick work. Score:

Miller, a victim of circumstances
ather than inferior pitching lost
The second contest to our old time
rurler, Lefty Clarke. The game was
layed under protest after the fifth
inning, Mcclure, who had singled
vas advanced to third by Nouns
Hit. With Brophy at bat, Mcclure
arted to come in on hit and run
lay, but the ball delivered by
Clarke was so wild that it is doubt
ful that Brophy could have reached
it. Fitzgerald stabbed for 1t and
brought it down, and then began a
chase up and down the third base
line in an effort to catch MCGUIRE,
Mac started to third finally and
when the ball was thrown he whirl-
ed and started for home, with plen-
ty Of time to make it and nobody
proved very much in the way, for he
completely blocked the path and
held Mcclure there until he was
touched out by Cont. Umpire White
stated that as Fitzgerald had just
thrown the bah he was unable to
get out OF the way. but when he
stands up and bodily pushes a run
ner back, and holding him with out
standing elbows, it cannot be call
ed anything else but illegal inter
ference. The decision of White was
vigorously discussed. but, of course,
had to stand as it had been made.

The run, needless to say would
have put the game on the Martins
burg side. Clarkes wildneSs resulted
in the first run going to the Sox in
the second inning, Brophy, first up
singled, and walked around to third,
while Clark and Rawlings took free
passes to the initial sack. With
Wilson at bat, wild heave by Fftz-
gerald allowed Brophy to score. viii
son whitfield as did Miller who follow
ed and then another base on balls
was issued to Lloyd again filling
the bases. Kimmick closed the in
ming by knocking down Blacks hit
and throwing him out at first,
In the third the Babies succeed
ed in putting over three runs, Gil
bert, first up hit to Lloyd, who field
ed the ball perfectly but lost his
balance and sat down with it. Gil
bert was safe and went to second
on Clarkes sacrifice, and went to
third when Cont hunted a single.
Thomson hit TO Lloyd, who in an
attempt to catch Cont at the plate
threw wild, allowing him to score
and the other runners to advance
to third and second, Kimmick's's
single brought them both in. The
Sox made another in the fourth on
a walk to Rawlings and a double
from Wilson. The game was to be
only seven inning, but when the
seventh came, the Sox again rails
ed hopes on the crowd by pushing
over the tieing run on a walk to
Lloyd, a single by Black and on
Nouns double. However it was in
vain for in the first half OF the
ninth the Babies solved Miller for
three hits, pushing over one more
run than the Sox could negotiate,
and the game went to Waynesboro.
Neun and Gilbert contributed the
heavy end OF the stick work, while
Kimmick featured with the fielding
Of two fine knock-downs. Score.
