NEW YORK. oct. 19.-CUnited
Press)-Much OF the talnt OF com
merciallsm that has been weakening
the prestige OF baseball as the sport
was removed by the late world's
series.
The act OF the New York club own
ers in turning over the receipts OF
the second game 20 charity brought
the game over a very dangerous
place.
1t might be said that they could
DO nothing else and save baseball,
but the fact IS they did It and their
motives we're relatively unimportant
Figures showing that each club
got for It's share only s41.21s out OF
the total receipts OF s4S4.921. mean
that the series practically was play
ed for the profit OF the players.
Anyone familiar with what II costs
10 get ready and stage a series knows
that the Giant and the Yankee club
owners lost money on the series.
For entertainment alone during
the 1921 series, the two New York
clubs spent nearly $4,000 each.
because the club owners OF pen
nant winning teams DO not begin TO
get q real cut OF the gate receipts
until after the fourth game, when the
players cease 20 get a share St might
be desirable for profit to have the
series go the limit.

WEST WILMINGTON EXPLAINS
LEGALITY OF TOUCHDOWN

WEST WILMINGTON EXPLAINS
LEGALITY OF TOUCHDOWN
wilmington. Del. Oct. Is, 1922.
Mr.. Benz. Greenstein.
Sporting Editor.
wilmington Evening Journal.
Dear sir;-
1 have noted the letter written
by Manager Devine. OF the Ninth
ward Club, published in your issue
OF Yesterday, in which he makes the
statement that the touchdown made
by the West Wilmington Club IN
their game with the Ninth ward
team Saturday. was illegal.
we dislike 10 use this method OF
settling arguments, {. e.. through the
newspapers, but nevertheless. inas-
much as Manager Devine has raised
the question, we feel II necessary
that we should state the true facts
in connection with the matter. We
do so in the following paragraphs:
The ball was on West VIII
mington's 47-yard line, about
10 Yards from the west side
line first down, 10 yards 10 go,
in West WilminEton's posses
sion. The referee was standing
slightly behind the play, equal
distant from the side lines and
the umpire and head linesman
were near the west side line,
directly opposite the ball. In
the ensuing play, Thorp. the
West wilmington fullback. car
ried the ball of tackle for SO
Yards and a touchdown. NO
whistle was blown by the ref
cree at any time until Thorp
crossed the goal line. The head
linesman Che had not been fur
nlshed with a whistle). after the
touchdown had been scored. in
formed the referee that n Ninth
Ward lineman was off-side on
the play. The ball was brought
back. but the West Whining
ton captain Immediately deolin-
ed the penalty and accepted the
gain.
we are at a loss TO understand
lust WHY Manager Devine raises the
question at this time for. when the
was scored, not word
was said about whistle being
blown. indicating that the ball was
Head. The only discussion at the
line was I'm reference TO whether
West wilmington would accept the
penalty or the gain. They natural
y decided on the latter.
II Ia nothing more than a mere
assumption on the part OF Devine
when he states that sound, similar
n that made by a referees whistle
vas heard at the time the play was !
made. Possibly he had a dream on
Saturday night in which this
hought came 10 him and in an eff
'ort 70 regain lost laurels. he de-
,lded TO put same in print. He'
Tor no other Ninth Ward man.
,eard a whistle blown at that time.
which made them think that the
,all was dead, as is evidenced by
he fact that every effort was made
o stop Thorp in his run, but they
iailed.
We have interviewed Refereei
Conner in reference 70 the matter
md he states that ne did not blow
lis whistle at any time until Thorp
lad crossed the goal line. This Is
,nough TO settle the argument.
/ trust have stated the facts
,learly and I believe that you or
my other fair-minded sport. will
gree with us that the touchdown
vas legal. We hope that, in the
uture. Ninth Ward will learn 70

manner.
Thanking you in advance for the

Seldom do epistIes of that nature
come into newspaper ofIice as good

Concerning our opinion on the
play, we have nothing TO say be-
cause Manager Devine's and Mere
dith's versions differ in the essential
points. We Will say. however. that
the referees decision on the play
should govern any after-decision.
The way an ofioial calls 'em is what
counts, and he should call 'em as he
sees 'em, and IL ne Is wrong, that's
something different. He should know
whether he blew his whistle or not.

SWEDEN PLEASED
BY ADMISSION To
LEAGUE COUNCIL
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 1.-THE ad-
mission of Sweden to the council OF
the league Of nations has caused
satisfaction here. 1t is regarded as
a recognition Of the growing influ-
ence of the neutrals in the reset
tlement of Europe and also as a tri-
butte to Premier Hadjla Branting
who in some measure is the spokes-
man of neutral opinion. This feel
ing was expressed in extreme form
by ex-Premier Nitti of Italy who
said recently that the neutrals und
er the leadership Of the Scandi-
navian countries could break the
deadlock which now prevents a
fundamental settlement of the way
indemnities and debts questions.
The feeling here, as eloquently ex-
pressed by Branting at Geneva, is
that the neutral countries have a
vital interest in general and peace
full settlement of all outstanding diff
ferences. How closely SWeden's in
terests are dependant upon this is
not visible at first glance. Sweden
is in an unusually favorable posi-
ton now. Her currency is almos.
at par after a long struggle, the
cost of living is approaching normal
and unemployment is relatively
small This is due to a fortunate
comhinaEiaa of circumstances.
Swe&,ens principal industries arc
iron, mining and timber and wood
products. These are being worked
to full capacity because Germany
takes all the raw iron she can get
while Sweden's principal competitor
in the wood industries, Russia, is
not producing. Swedish shipping,
unlike Norway, is only large enough
for the home trade and is fully
employed.
If Germany should collapse
Sweden's mining industry would
follow suit. This would cause a fall
in the value of the Swedish crown
and the renewed danger of Bolshev-
ism would have a demoralizing effect.
Swedens industrial prosperity there
fore is ilusory unless central Europe
can be restored.

HELP STARVING RUSSIA

Washington. An appeal for the
Russian famine sufferers sent out by
the International Cooperative alliance,
which speaks for 100000 co-opera-
tors in 26 countries, asks immediate
help for the millions of Russiana now
dying of hunger in spite of the partial
relief afforded by existing agencies.
The All-American Cooperative COM
mission cites the fact that Mexico has
sent five shiploads of grain, that Cam
ada is contributing much more, that
even Mohammedan Turkey and Persia
are assisting. and that European trade
unionists are going without necessaries
in order to give food to their Russian
brothers. In America. on the other
hand, only few labor and farmer
groups have responded.
Contributions are asked by the

BONUS FIDDLING
AT WASHINGTON

Republican members of the senate
finance committee to-day divided into
two definite, groups over the soldiers
bonus bill.
| AS a result, two different bonus
bills will be thrown into the committee S
| lap next week and tussle will begin
between the two groups to force adop-
ton of their pet ideas.
MsCumber's new plan would give
I the veterans hitherto unheard-of con-
lcessions and privileges with respect to
borrowing.
Both the Smoot and McCumber bills
will eliminate the land reclamation pro-
visions of the house bill.
At to-day's conference no attempt
was made to map out a method Of
financing the bonus. Committee mem
bers said the first task is to get an
agreement among themselves on the
general plan of the bill and then dis
cuss the problem of financing. The
way things stand now, agreement is
likely to be considerably delayed, COM
mittee members admitted.
The two bills will be:
!. By McCumber, chairman of the
committee, providing for the adjust
ed certificate plan of the house bill,
with notifications greatly broadening
the benefits to service men.
2. By Smoot, Utah, providing 20
year insurance policy without any bor-
rowing provision as a substitute for
the house plan.
After conference of Republican
senators to-day, McCumber ordered
committee drafting experts to have
bill ready by Monday.

Be KIND AND HONEST NOW.

The fact that there is little kindness

have far too many parties, sects. cir

because they have a Christ Of their own
Isaiah As: reads: Jehovah saith unto,
his Christ. to Cyrus (king Of Medal

in the various translations. Germany
followed the Luther idea Of God and
England followed the Church Of Eng
land idea of Cod, so God becomes a
question of Geography and religion a
question of organized propaganda.
