MUDVILLE. Jan. 6.-Mudville
still believes in Casey.
The little town which was plunged
into gloom one June day nearly
forty years ago when the famous
slugger Of the Mudville nine struck
out in a pinch refuses to believe the
whisper Of scandal which questions
the honesty of its former idol.
For the past few days there has
been a constant pilgrimage OF
Mudville citizens down the road past
the vinegar works to the old folks
home where a garrulous. toothless
old man waits patiently for a tele-
gram from Judge Lands summoning
him to Chicago.
According to tn escandalmOng-
ers the mighty Casey whitfield the
ball deliberately because he and
his friends had a bet on the CD
posing team. This practice of de-
liberate tanning has become
known since as ''slOughing."
The ease IN Casey's manner. as
he stepped into his place, the pride
in Caseys bearing and the smile on
Cosey's face" are gone now, and the
staggering poise of the famous
batsman of 1883 has given way to
the stopped resignation Of a scandal
victim Of 1927.
That Tragic Afternoon
Still there remains a trace Of that
smile of Christian charity" with
which great Casey's visage shone"
as "he stilled the rising multitude
and bade the game go on" that
tragic June afternoon just before he
struck out.
Casey declares that he holds no
grudge against those who have
brought his name into the huddle
of scandals now rocking the baseball
world.

Washington, Dec. 1 tPA-Accept- ance by the Washington government or an invitation to send an observer to the League Of Nations security conference appeared altogether i'm probable today. in line with reasons that prompted the decision not to participate in that conference.
 The request for American repre- sentation through an observer was received overnight at the state de- partment from Minister Hugh Will son. While reply will not be sent immediately. indications at the de partment were that it would be in the negative since officials doubt that anything could be gained by the presence of an American obserT- er at the discussions.
 T. is assumed that the proceedings Of the security conference will be fully available as a matter of intor nation to the members of the pre- paratory disarament commission up on which the United States will con- tinue to be fully represented. This interchange of information between the two clements of the machinery being created to deal with disarm- ament make it unnecessary, in the judgment of some informed Wash ington officials. that any American observer be assigned to the security conference.

 Chiang won Miss Soong over Chen first because of his youth and sec ondly because of the great prestige that attached to him as the strong man of the nationalist movement.
 Soon afterward, Chen. his rival, was forced 10 flee to Moscow be- cause the radical nationalists. tinted with communism, were becoming unpopular with their former col leagues.
 With Chen went Mme. Sun Vat Sen. widow of the great nationalist lea Ter. and sister of Miss Soong. It vas reported that they would marry.

 SOVIET PROPOSAL
Press Calls It 'Cynica Joke'

 With the exception of two morn- ing papers, which did not comment, paper, Of all shades Of political col bring damn the Soviet scheme with yituperatiye adjectives.
 It was declared, among other things. "a cynical joke" "a grotes- ule mockery." stupid intrigue, clumsy farce" ''an impndent rodo- montad." and theatrical buffoon cry, put forward with the tongue in fLa cheek"
 The condemnation was not con, fined to that section of the press which habitually indulges In anti- Soviet propaganda, but some Of the sharpest criticism appeared in the editorial columns of liberal organs which sometimes themselves incur dyrision for their alleged weak paci- ism.
 Ii was contcnded that the Soviet scheme was put forward with the obvious idea of placing the other governments in a false position.
 The Russians, It was urged. could have felt little uneasiness in sub hitting program of self-sacrifice which they knew they would not be called upon to make. but which they hoped would show the world how wicked "capitalistic nations are and how good and peace-loving are he Soviets.
