All InternatiOnalists Now.
(New York TimesD


 While yet the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return. There is hope for all when even Senator Borah has been converted into an Iinternationalist In an address last week he had some harsh things to say of the foreign and mili- tary policy of France. His solemn inference was that it could mean nothing less than the destruc- ton of Germany, Austria and Hungary" But then this intense nationalist this statesman who has consistently warned his own country against having anything to do with Europe, added: And that the world will not consent to see brought about. Thus it would appear that Senator Borah, who was against our going to with Germany would be willing to have the United States go to war with France if necessary.
 In other parts of his speech, the Idaho Senator gave evidence of rapidly acquiring for himself the international mind He taking up the French assertion that without assured natural security France could not be expected to disarm more than she has already done. But just look, exclaimed Senator Borah, at the many forms of security which France today enjoys. "She is a member of the League of Nations" What a fall was there, my countrymen, from the time when Senator Borah was holding up the League of Nations to execra- ton as a military and imperialistic super -State It must be taken as sign that he has been soundy converted when he thus speaks of it as a dove of peace He also referred to the Locarno treaty which would bring Great Britain to the sup port of France in case she attacked by Ger many. It will not be forgotten that when Presi- dent Wilson brought back a similar guarantee of peace and protection fu France, the Senate of the United States would not debate it. Senator Borah also cited the Briand- Kellogg pact a sure defense for France in of aggression. This implies, since the United States is also sgnatory of this treaty that ought to be ready, with Senator Borah's approval to take up arms in be- half of France in case she were wantonly attacked It certainly looks as if all internatonalists now.

The sale of Sydney Laurence painting of Mount Mckinley through the Nugget Shop of this City for Sl0000 to Bernard E. Smith, New York financer
 was notable transaction. The beautiful and real istic painting is a masterpiece. The fact that it sold for S10,000 while the artist is still alive and may paint more pictures of Ike character evidence of it's merit.

 Cummins, in his application, re- quests that the commission maks a reallocation in the broadcast band in order that 25 of the present 96 channels may be set aside for the exclusive use of community ra- dio stations"
 These channels would be allotted to community stations in cities having a population between 10000 and 100000.

 No station would be granted more than 100 watts power and no sta ton given greater than one watt foi each 1000 inhabitants within the limits of it's city. Cummins proposes that 25 adjacent channels of 10 kilocycles width be subdivid- e5 to provide l25 adjacent chan nels, each having two kilocycle separation.

 Then providence came to the res cue. A silver mine which he had purchased years before and forgot ten about was found to be ,valu- able. He could have lived comfort ably from this income, had he not promised to pay the millions he owed. 2.
 Makes Quick Move
 Scraping together all his avail able funds, he invested in more borax land in California, built a refinery and began to compete with the powerful organization he had created. One day early in 1921 while in New York he heard that three prospectors had discovered borax mine near the Grand Canyon and wanted to sell immediately AL though 75 years of age, he traveled five days by train then rode 80 miles across the desert on horse back, only to find representatives of his big com p e titors on the ground.
 There was no time for an ap- praisal of the property, and the representatives of his rivals seemed doubtful of their authority under the circumstances.
 What is your lowest price?" Smith asked the prospectors
 Quarter of million"
 Sold" said Smith, producing his checkbook, and before his astonish- ed rivals could recover from the shock, the old man was in pos session.
 Three months later the mines were appraised at $24000,000

Tramberia was credited with
but one round while six were
given to Antonelli while one was
even. In-fighting featured the
battle, both boys giving each
other a body punching though
Antonelli landed the more telling
blows.
Only in the final session did
the two featherweights whack
away at each other in what the
fans know as toe-totoe fighting.
They belabored each other with
rasping punches, with Tramberia
trying vainly for a knockout.

at every opportunity that pre-

he should not be worked against
Detroit, New York, Philadelphia
or st. Louis, which cIdos beat
him many more times than he
was able to defeat them.
The working of Carl Fischer is
figured quite the same way. Carl,
last year, went" better against
Boston, Chicago and Cleveland
than against any of the other
clubs. His record was two wins
out of three against Boston, four
out of five against Cleveland,
and two out of three against
Chicago. In five games against
Detroit he won three, losllg two
Therefore, it can be seen just who
he should be pitched against next
year.
Burke Had Cousins"
Bobby Burke's cousins" we're
the st. Louis Browns, Boston Red
Sox and Detroit Tigers. He beat
these clubs three, one and two
respectively, to show that he was
strongest against them than the
others in the circuit. Bump Had
ley, although he was used in re-
lief roles mostly, shows by the
records, that he could beat Chi
cago, Cleveland and Boston more
easily than the Others" His
card reads three victories over
Chicago, one from Cleveland and
two out of three from Boston.
Marberry won from all the
clubs with the exception of Cleve-
land in the comparisons. Jones
found it hard to defeat anybody
because of a very poor season,
while Crowder, after weak start.
demonstrated he could beat them
all when in fettle.
So are the things johnson and
Griff plan on concentrating upon
during the next few months. To
win as many games as is humanity
possible is the important item
which wins pennants. as they
have found out, and if it's a
case of giving the pitcher the
right assignment at the right
time, it is their idea to try it. if
more strength is not added be-
fore the actual playing days roll
around.
The Washington times., 1931-11-26

In order to strengthen the
teams chances of winning more
often at these Crucial" moments
next year, Manager johnson and
Uncle Clark Griffith plan to study
the situation during the next few
months ir the idea of inaugural
ing a system whereby the most
will be gotten out of every pitcher
on the staff.
In other words, figuring that
there will be no additions to the
present hurlirig corps of the team,
which comprises Brown, Burke
and Fischer as the lefties, and
Marberry, Jones, Hadley and
Crowder of the righthanders,
johnson and Griff plan on scan
ming the pitching averages recent
ly released, noting which hurler
worked" better against this team
or that one, how many games he
was able to win. the total he was
unable 20 win, and who should
work in this game or that one
by the comparisons, etc.
Of course the work of Weaver
and Ragland, the standouts of the
teams rookie crop, may do away
with all of this planning, but fig
uring that they won't the follow
ing comparisons are possible.
Browns Record
Lloyd Brown, for instance,
pitched better y against Boston,
Cleveland and Chicago than he
did against any other club in the
circuit. In actual figures he won
four each from Boston and Cleve-
land and two from Chicago. This
would make it the most logical
thing, not to mention important,
to use him against these clubs
