Burke Is Making Good
Burke is playing second base for
Detroit about as well as he played
1t for the Richmond club, and he has
justified Cobb in retaining him. Ty
has been criticized for holding on to
Pratt, yet Pratt helped the team at
the start of this season. If Burke is
soming through, as he now seems TO
be doing, the hole that other clubs
insisted gaped SO wide at second will
be closed and the infield will be much
nearer the standard that is necessary
to give battle to the Yankees and the
Blue is beginning to pick up in
batting, and that is another good
point for Detroit. If Heilmann, Blue,
Manush, Cobb and Rigney get The
swing of 1922, and Burke can ap
proach 800, the Tigers will be
harder team to down than they have
been. and it has been impossible to
put them in second division as things
have been going. Even at their poor
est, with Heilmann out of it, they
refused to descend into the second
division.
Haney has been a valuable player
for Detroit. He is a utility man who
saves the infield when 1t seems to
be broken. He has spirit and grit
and the harder the job the harder
he hustles. He lacks so little of
being a strictly high-class regular
that he may ultimately break his
way into it, even though good
man would have to be set down to
make a place for him.
Washington recently has lost three
important games by an error that
led to the winning score. It's tough
to lose that way, especially when a
team can field in general as well as
Washington. But when a club gets
into the lead it is usually fought so
bitterly that every little slip is dan
gerous, as the Nationals are finding

Will be through with the Indians for
the present. One was to be played
this afternoon, beginning at $50

slab for the Harrismen. Speaker may
depend upon the pitching of the vet
eran spitbalier, Stanislaus Coveleskie.
Ralph Miller, infielder purchased by
the Nationals from the Reading In
ternationals, is expected to report
here today or tomorrow. Miller, who
sported a Philly uniform a couple of
seasons back, did well at Reading
last year. He made good records at
second and third bases and the short
held and hit for .534 in 149 games.
Judge equaled a major league bat

times in the Nationals. Peck's busi-

Notwithstanding the terrific slug
ging, the old sacrifice hit managed to
squirm into the summary. Lutzke

aid a mate.

most brazen insult ever handed Amer

friendly attitude toward admis-
sion of the 100000 Russian

Certainly the statement of Swales
has created Juror in the ranks of

gest unity of western labor with the

In the attack on Swales, Wright
says, There was bitter resentment
among many delegates against the in

Swales, nothing to fear or lose from
Russian workers. .
Incensed by this inference that the
attempt by Gompers to fight against
the Russian unions being admitted to
Amsterdam by threatening to form a
new International would be opposed
by the dominant English group in Am

Wright, when Swales added, speak
ing of the Russian workers, We will
help them and they win help us. Per-

understood us fully, but this is rapidly
changing. We are coming together,

GREAT BRITAIN
and U. S. agree
ON ARMS Conf ABB
France and Japan Are
Not So Enthusiastic
tspecIaI to The DaIIy w0rkerl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-
Great Britain and the United
States are substantially in ac-
cord on the proposition of hold
ing another international arms
conference as soon as possible;
France and Japan are cool and
critical and disincIined to go
thru with it this winter.
This, in a nutshell, describes
the present status of the various
informal moves looking toward
a second Washington confer
|ence, which President Coolidge
promised he would initiate cat
the proper time
A Diplomatic Denial.
The state departments denial that
this government is taking steps to
bring about new conference is con-
sidered here a purely diplomatic de-
NAL" 1t was dictated by the fact that
to date neither France nor Japan have
shown any decided warmth toward the
proposal and on the contrary have in
formally advised American officials
they prefer to let the league of ma
tons handle the armament question.
It is true that no invitations have
been sent out and no notes exchanged
between the powers on the subject Of
a second conference But is is also
true, despite the fact that the state
department declines to characterize
the moves as steps," that the diplo-
matte representatives of this govern
ment and OF Great Britain have been
busiIy engaged for the last two weeks
in unofficial and informal converse
tions with other world powers looking
to the holding Of conference before
spring.
French and Japs Cool.
Whether the French and Japanese
objections are so insurmountable as to
preclude a conference being held be-
fore spring is probIematical.
There was decided American-British
accord at the first conference and it is
apparent that both France and Japan
view with something akin to distrust
and alarm the prospect of another
such accord in another such confer
ence.

This move, however. would tend to
