Fog and Reality.

It would be wholly out Of keeping
with President Roosevelt's proved quail
tiles OF tenacity for him to throw up
the sponge on disarmament just be-
cause Europe has not at once acted
afirmatively upon the American pro-
gram to bring about warless world.
So it is not surprising to learn that,
after conferring with the President
aboard the Amberjack II of the Maine
Coast, Norman H. Davis is under orders
to return to Geneva and resume his
heavy task.
Mr.. Davis painted for the President
an invincibly optimistic picture of the
situation. In our rowing Ambassador S
lexicon there is no such word as dis
couragement. He acknowledges that
success Is not Immediately in sight,
but says that Europe is fully per-
suaded that to disarmament there Is
only one alternative-chaos- that
statesmen lover there" are determined
to avert such catastrophe fate. Ger
tain political adjustments. Mr.. Davis
comedies, remain to be made, and he
stresses as the paramount one among
them what he graphically calls "the
stabilization Of the German govern
ment." Just what the Ambassador
means by this is not clear. 1t is clear
enough from the standpoint of France
and Poland. They are not disposed to
dsarm until the Hitler autocracy re-
nounces its avowed purpose to destroy
the treaty Of Versailles and revise the
territorial arrangements therein pro-
Vded. In other words, the Nazis' de-
termination to abolish the Polish Cor
ridor and otherwise upset the Ver-
sailles settlement in Germany's favor
Is threat to their security which
debars the Germans neighbors from
giving serious consideration to any far
reaching disarmament scheme. Nor are
their emotions in this direction stirred
by Americas traditional unwillingness
to pledge herself in advance to con-
tribute armed force to suppress aggres-
sion against countries which divest
themselves under disarmament agree
ment of the means Of defending them
selves.
President Roosevelt, as he steered his
little ship safely into the Canadian
harbor of Campobello Island, said he
rejoiced that Mr.. Davis had just had
the evidence Of his own eyes to prove
how two great countries-the United
States and Canada-could live in per-
petual peace along an unfortified border.
That Is a very pretty figure Of speech.
But If New Brunswick, on whose hospi-
table soil the President now tarries
before his return to Washington, were
state smarting under what she con-
stdered political and military injustice
and affirming on all possible occasions
her determination to demand revision
Of the status quo some day from, say,
the Province of Quebec and the State
Of Maine, the French-Canadians on
their part and the Down East"
Yankees on theirs would probably hesi-
tate to recede from what George
Washington called "a respectable de-
fensive posture
If some such imaginary picture had
been conjured up by the President, in
addition to the unfortified border
analogy, a good deal of reality would
have broken through the fog in the
North Atlantic, amid which the sailor
Executive and his disarmament envoy
yesterday envisioned the millennium.

AFRESHSLANTo on Two Kings
By Burris Jenkins, T.

Jack Dempsey strobe across the ring. He
rumpIed the kids thatch of straw hair with
bounce glove. He said "Just four rounds,
paI-exhibitiOn. Make it gOOd!" The kid
said Sure" and added, too late, Champ"
Words never came fast to the kid. Any
way he was awed by it all. In ring with
Dempsey! And so recently pushing a cart
down in the Chicago fish markets! Even
now just turned FL. Good rep, already, as
tough young contender. But with Demp-
Sey-!
He looked over the crowd at the Chicago
Stadium-24,OOO people, $4,000 gate. All
to see Dempsey coming back. In his corner
the old Manassa Mauler moved nervOusly,
Iithely.
At the bell the kid thought, "I'l make it
look good" He was no boxer, but he tried
to box. 1t looked ridiculous. A minute and
a half passed, then couple of awkward
swings ruffled Dempsey'S hair. Weaving in,
Dempsey let his left hook go. To this day
there is no punch like it.
The kids fish mouth gaped wider. Gastric
juices from his stomach filled his throat.

If you remember his voice boom

why we didn't amble over to his

Bobby had quite an interesting
confab with President Clark
Griffith yesterday about contract
terms and came out a signed
man-the reverse of the situation
this time last year when he
argued long and loud for more
pay.
The southpaw, it seems, wants
to make good this season more
than ever before because he
realizes if he doesn't it's curtains
for him as far as his big league
status is concerned. So Bobby
is in the fold, fit as a fiddle
and rarin' to go.
Heretofore the veteran hasn't
reported the best sort of spirit
as his guide.
Happy Attitude
But this year it's different as
his happy attitude and willing
ness to put full steam ahead has
been one of the most noticeable
items in camp.
"The lad has lots of spirit"
Griffith admitted, land this
will strengthen his chances of
sticking with the pitching staff
this year. Although he had
a bad season in 1892 and indif-
ferent success in campaigns
before that, 1 still believe that
he is one of the type who'll

I've been Stringing along with

Burke came to the Griffmen
six years ago from Little Rock,
of the Southern League. Griffith
got him in the draft. His best
season was in 1881 when he won
something like eight games while
losing three.
During this particular cam
paign he hurled no-hit, no-run
game against the Boston Red Sox.
This easily has been his crowning
achievement since being a big
Lacquer.
Last year Burke was sent to
the Chattanooga club, of the
Southern League to help the Look
outs with the pennant. He pulled
up i'll, and was placed on the vol
untary retired list.

Bobby says he feels great this

the part. Always slim, he hopes
to trek away from this base next
month several pounds heavier.

the Eagles were only two points
