VISIT TO INCREASE
FRIENDLY RELATIONS

Mr.. Harding regards his call here
today as more than a mere exchange
OF social courtesios. He regards as
important anything which will tend
10 cement more closely tho friendly
relations and good understanding be.
tween the peoples on both sides the
invisible and unguarded border line.
AS he has frequently said in his
speeches, Mr. Harding has made his
entire journey as an opposite of un.
Outstanding" This was true in his
efforts to explain to tho American
people in his speaking tour across
country the policies and activities Of
his administration.
He was seeking there n closer un.
derstanding between the people ana
their government. In Alaska, he
sought TO bring about the same sort
Of understanding. TO supplant misun.
derstandings he felt were standing
in the way OF Alaskan development.
Here In Canada, he believes that
his visit today will be an example TO
tho world OF the friendship OF two
great free nations. living side by side
in perfect amity with 3,000lmlln
frontier between them across which
not a single gun " pointed. To-day
should serve, he feels TO emphasize
this TO the rest Of the world. whore

HERE'S SUGGESTION
TO BASEBALL JUMPS
FOR STOPPING ROWS
Umpire Hildebrand Cen
trail Figure in a eds
tress Sign" Joke.

New York. Feb. 10. - American
League umpireS are telling a good
story that has George HildCbrand as
the central figure.
HiIdebrand is Mason. On the
Cleveland team are number Of
Shriners. In game at Boston, Hi
debrand gave very close decision
against Cleveland, calling Steve
O'Ncill who is a Knight OF Colum-
bus. out at the plate.
In an instant Hldehrand was sur
rounded by dozen Cleveland play
crs, most of them being Shriners.
They kicked long and loud before
Hildcbrand was able to continue the
game.
That evening the umpire who was
working with Hildebrand, and who
happened 10 be neither a Mason nor
X. of c.. thought to have little
fun at Hildebrand's expense.
1t was brought out in the ConverSa-
ton that cnsued that the Shriners
always stuck together when in trouble.
That was the cue for the other
umpire.
Seems to me you should have
hung out the. distress signal today
when all the brother members Of
your order were around you at the
plate"
Why So" asked Hildebrand
We'll. it's just like this" replied
the other umpire. Last month
was working with Dineen. who is a
Knight of Columbus. He got into a
jam. and as five or six Knights Of
Columbus started 10 rush up to pro-
test his ruling. he made n peculiar
pass with his hand; they all quickly
returned to their positions and not q
single word Of protest was uttered. e
OF course, TO such an incident ever
happened, but no doubt Hildebrand is
convinced that the X. of C.'s are Il bit
more loyal on the ball field.

SOME DERBY DOPE
Trainer Of Norwich Picks Enchant
ment to Win Race.

New York. Feb. 15.-The East will
again furnish the winner for the Ken
lucky Derby. Americas most highly
priced 3-ycar-old stake. That is the
opinion Of Fred Burlew. who trained
Norwich. tine winner of last years
event. Ii will be remembered that
Burlcw had Norwich in great shape
for the Kentucky Derby. But after
winning that race the horse. who was
regarded as the equal of Man O. War,
fliryJrCL badly.
Burlcw likes Enchantment for the
Derby. He believes that Harry Payne
Whinpy's great horse will go to the
post a top-heavy favorite, as was Nor
vich last year.
Two other entries that appeal
strongly to Burlew are Sally's Alley, a
filly. and Messenger, colt
While Burlew doesn't look for the
Derby TO be soft for any particular
entry. to his way of thinking Enchant-
mcnt stands out as the greatest Swear
old possibility.
"A lot of things can happen between
now and the Derby that may change
things considerable" is the way Bur
lew safeguards his opinion.
