Unere.1 our DOhG, the 'GDVern0T CODD
left dock at mid night The moon
was full and high somost everybody
stayed on deck. The representatives
OF the Cuban and Ameffesln press
had some difficulty IN making them
selver understood. None of us could
speak Spanish and only a few OF
them could speak English. They got
on equal ground, however, when
they sang together. The Cubans
knew "Tipperary", over There,
and we sang these songs over and
over through the night. Someone
has called music 1.-THE universal Ian
guage", and these familiar songs
certainly brought the two parties
together.
AS the Governor Cabb got out in
to the Gull Stream most OF us took
to our staterooms.

Giants to Play Phillies
At Polo Grounds TODAY

The Sabbath baseball menu includes
games at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets
Field. The Giants will play host to the
Phillies, while the Dodgers will enter
tain the Boston Braves. Phil Douglas
is due to do the pitching for the Nc
Graw men, while Leon Cadore is slated
as the Dodger boxman. The Braves, so
far this season, have defeated Cadore
four times; in fact, every time Leon has
faced them. SO it is question of re-
venge in Flatbush this afternoon
will have special significance because
of the larger number of former Giants
who are now on w. F. Bakers pay roll.
These "exes" include Jack Monroe, Lee
King, George Smith, Tim Smith, Curtis
Walker, Jess Winters and Goldie Rapp
Rapp, however, is i'll and will not play
to-day.

Cub Manager Protests
Contest With Pirates

tested the second game played here
with the Pirates in double header
Thursday. Killefer claimed that had a
foul fly been hit in the general direc-
ton OF the Pirate dugout during the
eleventh inning Of the game it would
have been impossible to make the ratch,
as park employees were there unroll-
ING a tarpauin preparatory to laying
it over the home plate
The protest is said to have been
made formally by President Veeck of
the Cubs after conversation with
Killefer by long distance telephone yes

A New Dodge.

In seeking to create criticism OF
the Harding administration for not
replying to notes from the league of
nations the internationalists are try
ing a new dodge and one which will
be as futile as the others. Secretary
Hughes is very automatically carry
ing on his correspondence concerning
international matters with the powers
themselves. To enter into correspond
ence with the league would be quickly
seized upon by it's supporters as a rec
ignition of it's authority in diplomat
ic matters, and the United States does
not recognize the authority of the
league in anything. The attempt of
the league to take a hand in the pro-
posed disarmament conference is an
other example Of the pestiferous pro-
pensity of the league officials to in
terfere. The quicker that old corpse
is buried in quicklime the healthier
the atmosphere will be for sane DELHI

President Grant Vetoed Bonus Bill.
Washington, August 3.-When Pres
ldent Harding appeared before Con-
gress a few days ago to oppose the
passage of the Bonus bill he repeated
history. President Grant, in the spring
of 1875, vetoed a soldiers bonus bill
which had been passed by both
branches of Congress. The veto was
based upon substantially the same rea-
ions as those presented by President
Harding a few days ago when he urg-
ed a postponement of consideration of
a bonus bill to e~x-service men. The
bonus bill of 1875 privided for the
payment of So 1-3 a month for all
those in service. President Grants
veto message read as follows:
Washington, March 8, 1875.
10 the House Of Representatives:
House Bill 3,341 is herewith re-
turned without my approval for the
reasons, first, that it appropriates from
n Treasury a large sum of money at
a time when the revenue is insufficient
for current wants and this proposed
further drain on the Treasury. The
issue Of bonds, authorized by the bill
to a very large and indefinite amount
would seriously embarrass the refund
ing operations now progressing,
whereby the interest of the bonded
debt o fsthe United States is being
largely reduced. * The passage of
this bill at this time is inconsistent
with the measures of economy now de-
manded by the necessities of the coun-
try.
