"A SECOND BASEMAN you say?
Finel Get him up here as quick as
you can" the voice of Harry Grab
liner doomed all the way from Chi
cago yesterday. Gardiner, secretary
of the Chicago White Sox, was tax
ing 10 Ben Epstein, who has signed
Bill Yoder, hot Harrington second
sacker, for that club. so Bill 81
probably leave tonight or tomorrow
night for Chicago TO join the Pale
Hose before they end their home
stand July 81.
THE WHITE sOx were IN favor
Of having Bill report for Spring
training. But Bill couldn't see
things that way. Other clubs, includ-
ing the St. Louis Cardinals. are be-
lieved to be after his services. Two
Texas League mines were dickering
for him also. These clubs wanted
him TO report Immediately. Bits
idea was this: BY reporting now. he
could show them whether or not ne
had the stuff-result, a better con-
tract for next season.
so BEN burned down the wires
informing the Chisox Of Bits turS
Of mind. The Pale Hoses second
baseman has not been hitting his
stride Of late, so they said send
him UP as quick as you can" 1t is
indeed a rare case. Seldom does a
simon pure get a try in the majors
without. first having served his APP
premiership in the minor ~ops.
BILL HAS confidence in his abil-
fty. Which makes things al the
better for him. While not cocky.
Bill has played enough ball to know
what he is capable Of doing. He be-
lieves he can show them enough
stuff to be retained next season.
YODER is 81 years of a0a weighs
about las. throws and bats right
handed. He has been playing ball
ever since he can remember. He Is
hitting an even 800 in the Valley
circuit. Yoder has been at bat 40
times. has obtained 90 hits, eight Of
which were doubles and one a home
run. In nine games. he has erred

The tower in which they hang was va cant, and the man who rings them was absent-in jail.
 Anastasio Mayorga Reyes, the Carolier. was born in the cathedral belfry, where his father and grand father before him had spent their lives in attending to the bells, keep ing their tone at the right pitch and ringing them at the proper times. He was married in the belfry, not even leaving it to fetch his bridge. They made it their home and when his father died Mayorga succeeded him in responsibility for the bells.

NOTABLE PEACE
 GAINS OBSERVED
U. s. Officials Hold London Naval Conference Paramount
HOOVER REGARDED AS AID
Presidents Good Will Tour Through Latin America Credited With Re ,ival of Friendship for United States in That Area.

Washington, Nov, 10 CUP)-On the eve Of Armistice Day, officials concerned with Americas foreign relations looked back today on g year they considered filled with mo- table gains for international pace.
 Reviewing efforts of the last r months to substitute arbitration, cancellation and disarmament con fercnces for rivalry and trials by combat administration spok kesmen point first to the successful London naval conference. It broke the dan gerous tension over sea power be- tween this country and England. It obtained siX-Ncar holiday in bat tleship building which, according to estimates, will save this country S2S1,250, 900. 1t "humanized" the use of submarines. It limited cruisers. President Hoover said in a radio speech last month it is hoped this marks merely the beginning Of naval cuts,
 Officials point 10 other gains for peace, less spectacular, but believed no less important. These gains have been made through international ec- onomic conferences, conciliation treaties, arbitration commitments.
 Educational Efforts
 Outside the official realm, but con- sidered d vital force for peace, is the work done by organizations to edu- cate the average man and woman in international politics, to stimulate sentiment for peaceful policies and to further goodwill among nations. During the past year quiet nego- | tiations, combined with favorable senate action have brought into force a numbe of new arbitration and conciliation treaties raising the number Of such commitments 10 60.
 The present series Of treaties was started by former Secretary Frank B. Kellogg 10 reVitalize tho Root ar bitration and Bryan concihation agreements. some Of which had ex- pired, while others had become ;n- effectual for various reasons, Sccre- tary Stimson has carried on this work.
 Treaty Requirements
 Of these 60 treaties, - bind their signatories to appoint conciliators 10 examine disputes, Of whatever na- ture, and render report 10 the ma tions at odds The other treaties, B in number, call for arbitration of legal disputes only.
 Coincident with the negotiation of such formal guarantees of peace, the state department has quietly sought TO strengthen friendship between the United States and Latin-Amer- iCa. Officials now feel that our re- lations with the countries below the
