and the dangers lurking in Article
Ten' of the League covenant.., faint
ripple of applause was instantly fol
lowed by a more pronounced outburst.
Applaase Quickly Stops.
But it was as quickly subdued. The
strident voiee of the Vice-President was
heard above the rising din. ;
"Bemove from the g;.lltries those who
have violated the rules of the Senate,"
the Vice-President shouted, at which
gallery guards, apparently bewildered,
endeavored to suppress the growing de
sire of many- persona to make known
their approval of the Massachusetts
Senator views with hands and feet.
In 4h confusion which spread to the
floor, the crowds began to move away,
and a few offenders, whoso ronduct waa
noted by the guards were hustled out.

held up after Republican Leader Lodge

demand for the ayes and nays.
There had been no intimation that the
Democrats were preparing to put the
majority party on record in the matter
of Sting a time for daily adjournment,
and the demand added to the general
excitement. The balls called Bcnatora
to the chamber, and on the eount the
motion prevailed thirtjr-cight to thirty-.

Senator Jed, Democrat, of Missouri,

Walsh Oppose League.
The speech of Senator Walsh .the
third of the day, drew a large attend
ance and because of he uncertainty as
to where he stood, he received undivided
attention. He quickly cleared away all
doubt, however, and frankly announced
his regret at parting with his Democratic
colleagues in voting for treaty reserva
tions, and in So doing declared he -was
not breaking away' from his nartv rrin-
eiples.
Contending that nndcr article ten
American soldiers could be ordered to
any part of the world by the league
couneil, Senator Walsh turned to Sen
ators on his own side of the chamber
nnrt naked:
"May I not fairly urge (hat fhis,

stands it is pregnant with the germs
of dispute, misunderstandings, and pos

The other, speeches today were by
Senator France, Republican of Mary

of his 35,000 word address begun

krfritory today and annexed the eighth
and deciding game against the Chicago
White Sox, by a score of 10 to 5.
As expert baseball it was a funny as
a sack race. Nearly everything possible

rally by the athletes in the pale hosiery,
It never would hav happened just a
it did if the sun had not entered the
lists and blinded the visiting fielders.
It was all the funnier for the reason
that the Sox were nine run behind at
the time.
The Reds after dropping two games
on their own grounds on the banks of
tho Ohio, permitting the 8ox to get back
in the running, for the big emblem,'
started after the deciding game at
the outset. They descended on Claud
Williams' left-handed offering with
determination which sent hiin into se
clusion before the third man was out
and Bill James, who hurls from th
other side, was trotted out. Three runs
were scored off Williams and one ofit

ance in the scries, and he led a terrible
life until the sixth when with two mea

forth to remain through the holocaust.
The invaders continued their onslaught
and aent three run aero th rubber.
In the seventh the rangy hurler wa
somewhat wild aad walked two men, but
no runs were scored by the leg weary

annexed another and let it go at that.
Their position wa o secure that they
