With the supergoverning league de-
flnitely rejected and with the world so
informed, and with the statute Of peace
proclaimed at home, we may proceed
to negotiate the covenanted relation
ships so essential to the recognition OF
all the rights everywhere Of our nation
and play our full part in joining the
peoples of the" world in the pursuits or
pcace once more. Our obligations in
effecting European tranquility because
of wars involvements are no less i'm
pellinE than our part in the war itself.
This restoration must be wrought oe-
fore the human procession can 90 on
ward again. We can be heipful De-
cause we are moved by no hatred and
harbor no fears. Helpfulness does not
mean ENHANCEMENT, and participation
in economic adjustments does not mean
sponsorship for treaty commitments
which do not concern US, and IN which
we have nc part.

most and best for our own republic ana

Sporting Page Sportsnen.
Without any manner OF doubt the majority
Of fans of this country are made up of Sport
ing Page Sportsn1en, men who take their base
ball second hand from the sporting pages,
catching it sketchiy in the baseball extras
and digcsting it all soberly in the morning
accounts. They may go to game once a
year, or once in two years, or they may never
so within ten blocks of baseball park But
they are fans just as surely as the man who
holds down seat behind first base year in
and year out.
Being one Of the leading Sporting Page
Sportsmen of the country myself, I feel able
to speak feeingly on the matter. I always
resent with bitterness that amounts prac-
tically to passion any aspersions on my rec
ords as baseball fan. Yet in my entire major
league career, I have seen probably less than
a dozen full games
Back in 1905 I saw Christie Mathewson
win the final game of the world series from
the Athletics. Memory of that exciting bat
tie carried me through until 1908, when I
tried to see Giant-P Pirate double header late
in the season. At the corner of 14i5t Street
and Eighth Avenue traffic cop stopped me
and would let me go no further. However,
he did let me stand there and listen to the
hullabaloo until the crowd got too thick, and
then we were all dispersed roughly.
In 1912, during the Giant-Red Sox affair,
I got excited again and declared a general

You'd hardly think it would make tsaas mitch
difference 70 me. But honestly, after double
defeat of the Yankees, have experienced hor-
rible fits of depression. It leaves me with
bad taste in my n1outh-the grapefruit is sour,
the coffee is too strong and the whole day is

series. But won't.
AS the weeks skip along I shall look across
the table at my wife one morning and say
firmly: "Now, then, must get my application
off for tickets to-day. It's getting late, and

will appear in the paper that $4,000 applica-

is handed nle at the last minute. And no one
will hand me ticket and won't see the series.
But I'll read every line that is printed
all the advance dope, the speculations, the
statements of the managers and then proceed
along with each game as though it were daily
lesson. I may bet some one dollar bill on tho
ultimate outcome, but my excitement would be
feverish without the financial interest. I'll
get just as much fun out Of the series as any
man, woman or child, but I'll take it all second

For actually you see, am sporting pags

Certainly my own case is not worth this

They work up a crouch when murderers' row

With all these Sporting Page Sportsmen
scattered about the nation and seeming to be
IN such laundering majority, you will be
asking pertinently who the $4,000 that
jam their way into the Polo Grounds on any
fair day when the race is getting warm
They are, if you really wish the authorita-

the other 10 per cent, the felix's who Storm the
gates and make up the headlines for the
sporting writer's, are the rare red-letter ua-
irons.
Figuring mildly, there are approximately
100000 males Of eligible age within an
hours ride Of the Polo Grounds who might
attend the games. If each one Of them took

average attendance Of 10000 persons per
