FEDERAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES WILL MAKE
 DISARMAMENT PLEA
[RepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wirel

IRepublican A. P. Leased Wire1
 NEW YORK. May s.-An appeal for an international conference on the reduction of armaments was issued tonight by the federal council of churches of Christ in America, the national Catholic welfare council, the central conference of American rab- bis and the United Synagogue of America.
 More than 100000 clergymen were asked to read the appeal from their pulpits June 5. The congregations also were requested to send resolu- tions to their congressman :
 The movement, it was announced had its inception in letter to the church peace union from General T H. Bliss. in which he said:
 T would not take step in the way of disarmament except as the result of an agreement between ourselves and the other principal nations. have no scheme of disarmament tt propose. My sole purpose is to have such an international conference Tither there is no practical commos sense among the people of the United States or else they now know the es l sential facts that point to the nee l essity of such a conference. 1 The farmers apparently are of tn | belief that some action must be takeI by our government to relieve de pression. They have put upon thei congressman and the latter have pu pressure on the government, with tn certainty that something is going t | done
 If the farmers had not done thi | or had continued talking anon
 themselves nothing would have bee
 done. If the clergymcn want to SC
 cure a limitation of armaments the | can do it now without any furthe | waste of time.
 After outlining the plan finally ap l proved by the peace, union, the let
 ter says:
 "If the churches cannot agree upo that, it will not be done or will
 be done until the good God puts int
 them the proper spirit of their IT
 Igion The responsibility is upo
 the protesting Christians of the Uni ed States. If another war like tf last one should come, they will ! responsible for every drop of bloc that will be shed and for every do lar wastefully expended"

Us. REPRESENTATION
 ON SUPREME COUNCIL STRENGTHENS ALLIES
rRepublicsn A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, May S-Accept- ance by the United States of the in vitation to have representation of the councils dealing with world eco homie settlements is regarded by some diplomats ga strengthening the allies hand in their dealings with Germany. They also look on it as having cleared away much of any doubt that may have existed as to the attitude of the United States. President Harding in his message accepting the invitation made it clear, these diplomats say that the admin istration, while restating it's determi- nation to abstain from participation in purely European affairs proposed that the United States lend it's aid in effecting readjustments.
 The presence of American repre- sentatives on the supreme council the conference of ambassadors and the separations commissions, they believe, will facilitate the settlements and aid in clearing away any mis- understandings
 As these diplomats view it, the sit uation is clearer than it has keen

J. OF 4. G[EE CLUB
 ID GIVE CONCERT
 HERE FRIDAY EVE.

Friday, the thirteenth of May. is destined to bring both good and bad luck. Phoenix will have much to be thankful for on that day. as the sen for high school class will bring the Arizona University Glee club to the high school auditorium Friday night of this week. But as the result of the coming of that excellent organization some high school students are going to suffer-Well, not so very much. but they will have to suffer some, be- cause it is one of the rules of the game.
 Here is the idea: Boys of the senior class have challenged the girls of the class to ticket selling contest for this Glee Club concert. Losers vii be required to wear a black eye. Only those actually participating in the contest know how the black eye is to be produced.
 The Arizona University Glee Club was chosen for the concert here in preference to several other organiza tions- The club is considered the best of it's kind in the Southwest and has played successful engagements throughout this state and California.
 In bringing this musical organiza- tion here the local high school is attempting to obtain a fund suffi- cient for the erection of a monu ment of Theodore Roosevelt which will serve as an inspiration for students of future years.
 H. w Stauffacher, registrar of the school, has been chosen by the class to handle the business and advertis- ing. He is being assisted by: Bill Oglesby, advertising; Helen McRuer, publicity: Louise Conner, tickets; Lucy Doyle. ushers; Margaret Christy decorations; George Alkire, assemblies. Sections already have been reserved by the Stanford club, the College club and the U. of A.
 Tickets may be secured from any member Of the senior class Or by calling 3078.

WHERE THE RIVER
 SHANNON FLOWS |S
 NEW PLAY AT ELKS

In Where the River shannon Flows" one of the sweetest and finest of Irish plays, the Del s. Lawrence players in their initial performance last evening at the Elks theater gave Wilma Steck another opportu- nifty to increase her stock of good will with Phoenix play lovers. It was the same Wilma of former successes, but was also a sweeter Wilma than usual who told last night the story of the simple Irish girl who had found love and happiness through trial and sac rifice.
 Miss Steck found a particular re- sponse in her audience last evening. and the gay and natural humor which she knows so well how to bring into her presentations was peculiarly ap- propriate in Where the River shan non Flows" In it she displayed all the spontaneity of wit and all the quick cleverness of thought and tma- gination which have placed her head and shoulders above any other of the stage folk who have bid for the favor the public in the Salt River valley. Opposite her plays Del S. Lawrence. big souled Irish politician whose heart goes out to his beautiful ward was carefully and finely presented.
 Jay Allard, in the past of the husr- ling newspaper man who sees no ob- stacles in his path no matter what he goes after, contributed in great measure to the success of last night s performance, with Ida Mae Coke sec onding him in rounding out the story of the play. A feature of last eve ming was a duet by Allard and Miss Coke, When It's Nesting Time in F1atbush.'' Billy Billingsley, Ray Brandon. Mabel Spencer and Lorenzo Jennings also have parts in the com edy. Victor Gillard and Ray Roberts have concluded their engag here and are not included in the cast.

A. B. C.'s Stage Big
Rally in Ninth to
Defeat AU-Stars

Taylor's A. B. C.s with the addition of
several colored leagu stars staged a huge
ninth inning rally yesterday in their game
with the All-Stars and batted out six
runs in the ninth inning off Jess Petty
and took the second contest of the fall
series by the score Of to j.
Taylor stated after he had lost the
first game Of the series that he would
have a real aggregation to throw against
the lea guers IN the second game and lie
kept his word. An entire new outfeld, a
second baseman and battery were OBJ
tanned by &c. l." and the way they de-
hvered can be seen by looking al the
score.
Petty and Drake hooked up in a pretty
pitching duel until the last frame. The
All-Stars were leading until the final
session by a to score. In the secOn /
inning DiXOn's single sent Cayet home
with the first run. In the fifth the All
Stars scored two more on hits by Cavet,
Baird and Schneider and a double steal
on which Baird scored. Charleston's home
run in the fourth counted one for the
A. B. C.s and Washington's single, steal,
and TaylOr's hit put another run over in
the sixth. Then came the big ninth.
Here's how II happened. Blackwell
started the trouble with a single. He was
safe at second on Sickings error and took
third when Dixon threw wild to second.

by Shively, Washington and Charleston

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Nayy's husky
football team, displaying sur prlslng form
for this early in the season, has taken
the leaC among Eastern eIevens as a re-
suit Of its decisive victory Saturday over
the Princeton Tigers.
The Tigers stand out as a frst-class
team. Last year they ranked with the
very best in the country and with line
up practically intact, they were con-
sidered eligible for highest honors again

bling block in the way OF the team from
old Nassau"
The Middies have two mighty for
midable opponents to play before they can
lay claim to real sectional hOHors. In
Penn State and the Army, the lads from
Annapolis will face elevens worthy II
their metal, and these games will furnish
material for comparisons between the
Navy and Yale, and Harvard, for Penn
State meets Harvard and the Army meets
Yale this coming Saturday.
On the same day the PrincetOnians,
singing under the memory of defeat by
the Navy, will take on Chicago University
at Princeton in one of the most interest
ing inter sectional games of the season.
Other big games for next Saturday are to
be played between Syracuse and Pitts
burGh, Colgate and Cornell. Columbia and
Dartmouth, and Boston College and De-

HEYDLER HOLDS
TO NINE GAMES

NEW YORK, Oct 17-President John
Heydler, of the National League, differs
with Judge Lands. commissioner of base
ball, on the advisability of returning to a
seven game world series, which was the
rule prior to 1909 Judge Lands said at
the end of the recent series Thursday
that he would recommend the change at
the joint session of the major leagues
next winter.
.'As a member of the advisory council,
I don't care to take issue with Com
missioner Lands, Mr. Heydler said. Yet
1 can not help recalling clearly the unsat-
isfactory nature of a seven-g game series
and that 1t was chiefly, almost entirely,
in response to public sentiment in the
matter that we were constrained neatly
three years ago to extend the series TO
nine 1t was for the sake of the game
itself that the action was taken, it hay
ing become evident that the all-around
strength and class Of a team sometimes
failed to be brought out and to tell its
story in a seven game series.
Instances have arisen In which one
remarkable pitcher was able single hand
cd to decide the issue when the series
raIIed for the best four out of seven
