We recall the day that Buck Her- zog went there, strong in his belief that he could break the ancient spell. Herzog worked with tireless energy d with all he had to give—and Herzog is not one who quits easily. But Buck could see no light ahead and so he was glad to be relieved. 1 our for Watching Cincinnati. now on fans from one sec- Ame a to the other and around the map will be focussing their attention on Cincinnati. For there are two things there to watch—the greatest pitcher baseball has ever known, and one of the great- est brains in the game directing his energies through a new channel; and with him the City of Blighted Hopes. | There would be no great interest in watching Matty handling some club far up in the race—one with a tra- dition of victory behind it. But to see what he can do with a club that has gone through forty years of sor- row and shame—a club where some of the best have failed—is another epic.

It was 1id that while permission for Mr. McClure to visit England last winter when with the Ford peace party in Copenhagen had been refused, no ob- jection to him was known to exist now and that his detention at Liver- pool was probably only a perfunctory matter. The British government de- clined to allow any members of the Ford peace party to come to Eng- land last winter. No discrimination, it is said, was aimed at Mr. McCiure. Kelly Carried $50.000.

He said he was informed tht action would be taken immediately. Mr. Gillespie said he could not un- derstand the action of the British au- | thorities in view of the fact that Kelly and Smith had in addition to their passports a personal letter from Secretary of State Lansing introducing them to the American ambassador at London. “Their pie, “w forts er en du ins » asserted Gilles- through myv ef- sure you their mission to Ire none other than tho stated therein—the relief of the The British consul general vised the passports before the party called and informed me of their zc- ceptability.
