"HAS BEENS" WIN
The "Has Beens" walloped Unioi
team Thursday, July 14 at Union's
baseball park. A great throng viewe<
the superb contest in which Union'1
Best went down to defeat before th<
terrific onslaught of the Cross Key
"Has Beens" to the tune of 3 to 1.
The following is the Cross Key
line-up:
\ Edd Betsill, pitcher.
Orin Hollis, second base.
Arthur Stevens, third base.
Hampton Wilburn, short stop.
Lrtvt Stevens, right field.
Jess Whitmire, left field.
Doc Alverson, center field.

Russel Betsill, Stroup, Burt, Hembree
Edd Betsill Bennie Hill, Bill Alverson
Edd Betsill, king of the spit bal
artists and pride of Cross Keys, tool
up the flinging end on the mound fo:
the visitors. His work in the box was
spectacular, retirincr himself after :
few moments play finding his foemer
not worthy of his steel. Edd, whil<
in the box, showed his usual goo<
style owing to the complete rest ol
the past fifteen years from mental am
physical exertion.
Parham, a young recruit from the
bush, took up the twirling end anc
thus Edd was saved for an aggregation
more worthy of his class. Young
Parham held the Union outfit completely
at his mercy during the entire
contest.
Finding that Claude Wilburn's nervous
energy was at so low an ebb it
was practically impossible for him to
pick up the balls he dropped he was
quietly removed in the early stages of
i no game.
Ben Betsill, Hampton Wilburn
Orin Hollis and Arthur Stevens retired
from the frame after finding that
their substitutes would have no trouble
in easily disposing of Union's
Best.
These one time flashy stars of the
Terrapin Team in the Cross Keys
League spent the remainder of the
afternoon attending to the lemonade
thirst of their children who occupied
the first nine rows of section B of the
grand stand.
Jess Whitmire, worthy old veteran
of former days, though war scarred
and battered, was debarred from the
game because it was found that once
he had played semi-professional baseball
on the Terrapin Team. While
this daunted the ardor of Cross Keys
fans the position was well filled b>
Bennie Hill. Alverson anel Stevens
found themselves in Whitmire's class
when Haynes Harris, Union's searching
manager, discovered that they hac
once occupied positions on the Possum
Trot team in the Sedalia League
These professional's places were fill

game.

NEW IDEAS IN
DISARMAMENT
i ^ 5v . > ' '
Washington, July- 19.?(By the Associated
Press.)?President Harding's
move for a disarmament conference
is assuming far greater magnitude
in world affairs than first inT
dications disclosed.
As the preliminary negotiations.
proceed they are revealing ajf sorts ,1! . *
of unexpected diplomatic jr ntfications
and leading into fiey which
in the beginning had seepj^^fgr jfs- .
moved from the purtfcSpj&flffif ihe
conference. But ofllewSV' iiere Apparently
are ^confident
that^ the widead&tad effect of the
president's propKia^ vjill in. the end
prove an aid *'in accomplishing the
franfl! exchange - of ideas for which
the conference was called.
One of the principal side issues
now occupying the attention of the
American government is the disposition
of Japan to hold out for an
exact definition in advance on the
subjects to be considered by the assembled
powers. The attitude o? of- Y
ficials here is that to thresh out that
question now not only would delay
the conference but might also branch
into a discussion of the merits of
the disputed subjects themselves. It
is felt that the program for the con

conference itself or failing: that, at L ,
last by negotiations jpfter each of . w
the invited has sent in an unconditional
acceptance.
, News duipatches from v Tokyo re-,
porting tnat Japan might Taise such
questions as radical equality and
1 abolition of extra-territoritl rights
in Cnina were read with pianifest interest
here but no official would comment,
There was an apparent feeling
of satisfaction over other unofficial ? 1
advices seeming to indicate that the
, Tokyo government proposed to clean
, the slate of some of the troublesome
. Far Eastern problems by moving to,
ward a settlement of such questions
as Shantung and the occupation of
Siberia.
It developed during the day that
the explanation given Japan by the
state department relative to the
, scope of the conference was entirely
3 informal and that department offi1
cials apparently hoped to. be able to
3 reach .m understanding without fure
ther exchange of formal notes. The
s information desired by Tokyo is understock
to have been given the Jas
panese*ambassador during an informal
conversation with Secretary
Hughes and it is assumed that further
