LEGION SUPPORTS
 ARM|STICE DAY
Commander Sends Coolidge
 Letter Of Endorsement

Washington, Nov '. -- President Coolidge today made public letter from James A. Drain, national com mandcr of the American Legion, |who assured him that your senti- 'mcnts' as to the observance of Arm tstice bay are the sentiments of the Legion,
 Mir. Drains letter was in reply to a communication from the president, who suggested that the legion em- phasize the need Of peace in its ArmistiCc Day celebration.
 The legion desires peace, its com mander wrote. and strives for peace" as its opportunities for ac- uuatntlng itself with the alterna- tive of peace havc been exceptional"
 Mr. Drain said the legion lis do- ing what 1t can 10 advance the day when armaments may be reduced and hopes that its labors may help to hasten the time when a conven- tion of the powers will be called to reduce all military establishments But until that day does come the legion will insist that the United States take steps of its own to put war and the prospect of war more remote"
 'ro this end" he continued, "the legion has long advocated and will press for enactment at the coming session of congress. Of what Is popu- Iarly known as the universal draft bin, which would place on all Ciu- zcns an equal obligation in war by utilization through the government of man power to fight, man power to work, factory power to produce, and money power to finance. This Is peace measure because it places the burdens of war equally upon all citizens. It is a preparedness meas ure because it provides the nation with the means for defending itself with a maximum of efficiency and minimum of cost.
 "The Legion believes there will never be lasting peace until we have justice between nations, and that lhis means the erection Of some form of competent world court. It will put forth all efforts to attain this"
 Until an international concord is attained for the reduction Of arma- ments and the adjudication of con- troversios on the principles of jus tice, the United States must main tain navy the equal of any in the world, a small but competent army, capable of quick expansion, adequate air forces, national guard and ade- Iquste reserve forces for air, land } and sea duty. Furthermore, indus try must he kept currently informed and prepared in peace time for its !, emergency obligations.
 "The Legion will emphasize on , Armistice Day the substance Of your words that humanity has more req son for unity than for discord."

CHAMP. OF WOMEN
 GIVES OLD MANOR
Mrs. Victoria Martin Donates Home Of Washineton's Ancestors

London, Nov. '. - The gift to the Anglo-American Association of an ancient English manor house to be used as a hostel by American pilgrims to Sulgrave Manor the home Of George Washington's an- cestors, brings out Of obscurity woman once known from one end of the United States to the other.
 For the donor of the manor house is the venerable Mrs. Vic toria Woodruff Martin. candidate for the presidency of the United States in 1872 along with Gen. Grant and Horace Greedy. Mrs. Martin. then Mrs. Woodruff, was the nominee of the Equal Rights party. That was the year President Coolidge was born; Mir. Davis was not born until the following -sar; Gen. Dawes was learning Sunday school texts and Mir LaFollette was a youth of seventeen.
 Famous for her marvellous beau ty not less than for her radical views on all questions respecting woman's status in society, Mrs. Woodruff made 8 spectacular fight In a campaign which closed with the reelection of Gen. Grant and Greeley's tragic death. But she had | demonstrated that a womans could run for president, even though the women of the nation as whole were not to receive the franchise until nearly half a century later, But Mrs. Woodruff Martin has | lived to see the suffrage fight won, not only by the women of her na- | tive America, but by English wom- en as well and from the retirement | of her beautiful home at Norton Park, Bredon's Norton, up in Wor- cestershire, at the age of S6, she looks out upon a world which to- day cheerfully accepts for women the enlarged horizon for which she was fighting two generations ago.
 To many the news of Mrs. Wood hull's latest gift will come as rather a surprising reminder that one who took such prominent part in American politics of such a fara- way time is still alive. Born in Ohio in 1888, she was the widow of Dr. Canning Woodruff when she made speaking tour of England One of her audience in old St. James Hall was the late John Bid- dulph Martin, English banker and philanthropist. Their marriage fol- lowed, and the woman who had startled the United States by run

EASTERN SHORE
LEAGUE SEES
BIC SEASON
IEaston and CrisfieId Admitted,
Making Six Clubs in
Circuit.

SALISBURY, Nd, March 22.-AN
obstacles in returning the Eastern
Shore League to six clubs for the
1924 season have been surInounted
and the circuit is now ready to
launch upon it's third year Of pro-
fessional baseball on the Peninsula.
Application for berths from Easton
and Crisfield were formally &C.
copied at the meeting Of the league
directors.
Retracting his previous statement
that he would not accept the
nomination as league president made
at a previous meeting because Of
his inexperience in professional
baseball, j. Harry Rev, Parksley
lawyer. accepted the proffer Of the
position to succeed M. Brevoorts
Thawley, Of Crisfield, resigned.
With the decision Of each Of the
six clubs to participate in the sea-
sons schedule, $500 was deposited
as a guarantee that the club would
complete the. season. An additional
guarantee ON 81 900 however, is re-
quired which may be used by the
league for the payment of claims
held by players against the club at
the end Of the season declared
bonafide by the National Associa-
ton. The date Of posting the for
felt was fixed for May 1.
Much routine business was
cleaned from the slate preparatory
to the proper functioning Of the
league this year. The league regu-
lations adopted last year were again
approved, allowing each club a
maximum Of eighteen players at the
opening Of the season, to be
diminished to fourteen, including
manager, fifteen days afterward.
A meeting to adopt a schedule,
and approve the league bylaws
will be called by President Rev in
a few days. A new committee for
the latter was named, composed of
Walter B. Miller, Salisbury, chair
man; w. M. Hope, Dover; M. B.
Thawley, Crisfield. The Spaulding
ball was officially adopted.

PHILADELPHIA, March %.
The 29-to-26 defeat of the
Temple University girls basket
ball team by the Swarthmore
College co-eds,, which put an
end to a sensational winning
streak that reached sixty-four
consecutive games, ranks as the
greatest upset in girls athletics
during the past several years.
incidentally this same upset
will go down in the history of
Swarthmore as the greatest feat
ever performed on a basketball
court by its undergraduates.
The defeat was the first suf-
fered by the wonder Team" in
more than three seasons and
was entirely unexpected.
Temple, with sixty-four
straight wins, was striving to
better the present worlds rec
ord of sixty-nine, established by
the University of Pittsburgh CO.
eds, and were only considering
the Swarthmore game as an
other stepping stone to a greater
objective.

Some of the more or less peril
0ent reasons are:
Jimmy Ring. who was one Of the
best in the business in 1923, re-
ported this spring. for the first time
IN his busy career, down to play
Ing weight. He was given a good
contract ana is perfectly satisfied
Whitley Glazner. former Pirate,
also has been made easy in mind
and temperament. He was not ex-
actly happy with the Phils last
year.
Clarence Mitchell, southpaw. and
. hitter, won eight games in a row
last fall He is anxious to come
through this season.
Couch. who came from the Reds,
had a fine start in 1923 and then
went wrong. His spring form, how
ever. is the very best.
With these four veterans,
Fletcher has Harold Carlson. for
several years a Pirate. HQbbell
and Belts. who have fingered
around for quite a few years,
are also on the staff. Two young
sters. Lewis and Bishop, are Civ.
Ing HubbeIl and Belts stiff com.
petition for positions, however.
Fletcher expects his infield to be
much improved. He has Ford from
the Braves, whom he considers a
better second baseman than Tierney.
Young Sands, who was slow start
ing last summer, is playing bang
, up ball. Walter Holke will play
first with Cliff Lee in the offing
II the old boy Says.
Fletcher's big trouble is at
third base. WrightstOne and Park.
tnsOn have the call on the lob
over many youngsters.
The Phil outfield will be Kakan,
Williams and Ray Powell, late OF
the Braves. Henline, Wilson-a very
good pair-will do the catching
while Wendell. smart old bird
Is coaching the pitchers.
The club is hustling for Fletcher
and will be trying from the drop
OF the hat. And a club that does
that is likely to get anywhere.

the wee leader is still paying
keen attention to all the rockies

where they will be shipped.
There are one or two who will
