New York, April %. - Sherlock
Holmes, one of the great characters of
fiction, created by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, was made to speak on the sub
ject of baseball today after Sir Arthur's
recent visit to the Polo Grounds.
After stating that the only trouble
with baseball is that 1t has Il tendency
to become a sport for specialized profess
siona!s and played almost entirely by
the young, Sherlock Holmes" dcduc.
tions. are seen in the following addl-
tional comment on the American pas
time:
mo. 1.-THE average fan is not sat
ished with the spiritual presence OF
Babe Ruth. The game lacks excitement
unless the King of Swat is there in
person.
mo. 2--Bascball didn't originate in
America, 1t is simply n reincarnation
OF the old English game of FOUNDERS,
considerably elevated and glorifiel.
No. 3-Sir Art hur will henceforth
be baseball fan, Instead of a cricket
enthusiast"

OPERATORS ACCEPT
HARDING INVITATION

Washington, June 20.-(By A. PD
Secretary Davis announced today that
bituminous and anthracite coal oper'
ators had accepted President Harding's S
invitation to meet at the White House
Saturday with United Mine Workers
officials to devise methods upon which
negotiations for the settlement Of the
coal strike can be initiated.
Secretary Davis said he was unable
to say whether the President himself
would omen the conference or whether
that duty would dcvolvc upon another
Government official. Other officials were
inclined to believe that Mr.. Harding
himself would call the meeting to order,
perhaps address the gathering and then
retire. 1t Is probable that two Cabi-
net members. Secretaries Davis and
Hoover, will then be designated to rep
resent the Government. and there was
also n possibility that representative
Of the Department of Justice might be
included.
Acccptanccs from n number of the
miners union district presidents were
received at the White House. There
was some tensencss in the matter OF
who will represent the bituminous
miners, John l.. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers. being particu-
Iarly concerned. At the White House
II was said that A.sM. Ogle, president
Of the National Goal Association, would
be charged with the responsibility OF
naming thV individual bitumiuous oper.

THE great majority of our more

The friendly attitude Of Pennsylvania
Railroad employees as II whole toward
the company. under the new policies
