was a grand-daughter . of Davie's. It
waa formally presented by the Bev
William Way, rector of Grace church
Chsrleston, and received for tho Uni

"Davie was right because hie ground
waa tho firm ground of principle and

"This University of the State, this

Paris in 1800, when Davie waa a com
miseioner sent by Preaident Adams
to tho French government, - down
through the Davie family until it be
came tha possession of Mrs. Ball. For
many years . it remaiasd at Trivoll,"

followed the eourse of events fear will

But it ia undoubtedly a triumph for
the two chairmen who made it, and the
spirit of conciliation with which they
handled the explosive questions thst
disrupted the Minsk conference is likely
to win for them the gratitude of a war
exhausted world.
The Biga armistice will put the Bol

neighbors within 144 hours from mid

Spectacle in . the Political
History of America"; Makes
Sixteen Speeches
Lafayette, ,Ind, Oct. 18. Governor
Cox, in a busy tour today of Illinois
and Indiana, hammered heavily upon
the League of Nations pronouncements
of himself and Senator Harding, pictur
ing his Republican opponent as "wig
gling and wobbling." Tho Democratic
candidate emphasised to sixteen audi
ence that lie was for the league with
"whole heart and 0001.
Centering his assault npoa Senator
Harding' league statement today. Gov
ernor Cox declared it "vacillating," the
eleventh position assumed by the Sen
ator and at tha heels of a "tempest'
aroused by Mr. Harding's Des Moines
speech. That the Senator's proposal for
a new association of nations wss held
by former President Tsft to bo imprac
tical also was stressed by the Democratic
nominee.
Beferring to today's statement by
Senator Harding, Governor Cox. to an
audience of several tboussnd persons
hero tonight on tho courthouse piszzs,
closing his strenuous day of league
preachments said:
XI II. - HV.IIl.tl.a .
The vacillating attitude of Senator
Harding justifies neither tho American
people, nor the nations of tha world,
la taking him seriously, it is apparent
that ha hasn't a single deep-seated eon
vktion upon" tha subject and that he
wobbles about from one 4y to the other
in the aimless hope thst , this group
or thst group of voters can be pleased,
It ii the most pitiable spectacle in the
political history of -America. I can
understand why. tho sentiment of wig
gling and wobbling has been amblas
ened over tha billboards of America
with the picture of the Senator. The
candidate of tha Senatorial Oligarchy
W.i a monopoly oa that process, and he
ought to be privileged to advertise it."
Hits Beacttosjary Frees.
Although the. governor confined hi
long string of speeches today princi
pally to ths league, he repeated charges
tionsry press- against the Democratic
campaign. "Big Business" waa also
flayed ss a foe.
Religious tone to the governor's
league plea increased and, presenting
what ho termed "practical" business
reason, he declsred that "if wo dont
go into the league, I look for constantly
increasing trend toward a business re
cession." The league is necessary, he
argued, to restore foreign credit and
purchasing power. He expressed belief
that' America would bo in tho league
within a few month and that no large
nation would be outside within a year
or possmiy sis months. 1
His Position Uachaaaed.
In his fire upon Senator Harding's
league atatementa, Governor Cox de
clared that, his own had been and would
continue unchanged.
. "I ask you," he said, ."whether you
.have followed the vacillating positions
of the candidate of the Senatorial
Oligarchy. Ho made changes on the
front porch; then when we took him off
the front porch and he arrived ia Des
Moines, he said he was going to turn
his back upon the league, with or with
out reservations." There came a tempest
all over the land aad Republicans that
were for the league announced their
position and their intention of Toting
lor me. When he reached the front
porch again yeaterday he changed again,
and said he -was for a new association
of nations. President Taft, who is at
tempting to keep him steady, says that
the new association of nations is not
practical, thst it won t work, thst
it can't be attained. Forty-one na

pions of tho World I Tho CHevelaad
American League Club woa ths su
preme title her this afternoon when
tho Indians defeated the Brooklyn Na
tionals in the seventh and deciding
game of ths 1020 series by a score of
3 to 0. Tonight Cleveland U celebrating
in a manner adequately ia keeping with
tha honor and it U doubtful if a gov
eminent proclamation announcing tha
seleetioa of thi eity a tha future
capital of tho United States would
e rente a ripple of interest among tha
fremxied fans.
The ihut out victory was chiefly engi
neered by Stanley Coveleskie, th spit
ball hurler of ths local team, who has
proved to be a pitcher of remarkable
skill rod endurance during the series.
Backed by an air tight defense on tho
pert of his teammates at ths critical
moment of the game the Shamokia, Pan
coal miner let the Bobin down with
five hit. But two Brooklyn player .
reached second bsse during their nine
sessions at bat and but five of tho
invader were left oa bases all told.
Cevey'a Remarkable Feat.
Coveleskie's feat in winning three of
the five homes necessary to clinch tho
championship for Clevelsnd will go
down a ona of the outstanding features
o( world's series history and one of tho
most prominent 'and praiseworthy far
tor in a straggle which haa furnished
mor itartling incident than any siml. '
tar eerie lot year. Th Brooklyn bat
ters seeumulsted but two ran off ths
moistened slants of Covey, ae ho ia
affectionstely called here, in twenty
seven inninjs, in which ho officiated
oa the hurling monad. He let the Bob
ins down with one run in tha first gam
at Brooklyn on October 8, allowed them
a second tally on Saturday and ahut
them out. today. It is doubtful if a
more masterly exhibition of pitching haa
been flashed before the fan in any
world's serie since 1905, when Christy
Matthewion, then at the tenith of his
twirling career, with the New Terk
Gisnti, shut out th Philadelphia Ath
letics in three games.
Indiana Bias ta Height.' t
Great as must be tho credit aeeordsd
Coveleskie, for his remarkabl feet in
coming back after but two day of rest
and pitching his best gams of tho series,
th goners! offensive aad defensive
work of the other members of the Cleve
lsnd elub cannot be dimmed by th in
dividual glory of their bos men. Tho
Indians, as a team, grew more.lmpree-
siv as tho series progressed and their
feat in winning four straight games
from Brooklyn after getting away to an
indifferent start stamps the elub as one
deserving of all the support and en
thusiasm which their efforts have)
evoked ln this section.
In shutting out the Nationals ia the
final clash this afternoon the Indiaas,
led by Manager Tri Speaker rose to
playing height which bor out th com
plete confidence of the club backer
and fan in their ability to prove their -right
to wear the baseball crown of the
Universe. They reached the spitters of
Burleigh Grimes, the National League
star deliverer of this type of pitching .
for seven solid hits, clinched the gsms
before the half wsy mark, as it ulti
mately proved, and ..topped 'the Dlsr
with Several piece of baseball strategy
that demonstrated the possession of
mental alertness which msrks ths dif
ference between a keen thinking aad a
mechanical playing baseball elub.
Great Demonstration. .
That these outstanding features wsra "
appreciated by the Cleveland followers
of the elub and the middle western sec
tion of the eountry generally has been
apparent since the day the team returned
from urookiyn. But today the demon
stration which marked ths final put out
or Myers- ana clinched the champion
ship for the Indiaw surpassed any
similar scene in several seasons. Thou
sands of men, boy and women poured
out of the bleachers and stands and
simply engulfed the victorious player
like a human avalanche. It wss a con
tinuous battle for the members of tke
teiim in their march toward the dugout,
each step being taken slowly with scores '
of fans endeavoring to shake their hand
or pat them on the back.
Mrs. Speaker Approves.
Trii Speaker, sensing the coming eut'
burst of enthusiasm, made a dash from
center field toward the grandstand
where his mother and other relatives
occupied a lower tier box.
His progress was slow, but once he
resehed the rail he vsulted over the
irou front and into his mother' arms
like a small school boy, The scene was
so unususl that for a moment there
was a complete cessation of the cheering
which, howevenrproke out with treble
vigor when Mrs. Speaker hugged, patted

latter responded in a manner which .
indicated that he regarded his mother's
