STRONG APPEAL
FOR REPUBLIC
OF IRELAND
PARIS, May 20 (Correspondenqe o!
the Associated Press).—A special ap
peal in behalf of Ireland was made tc
President Wilson by Scan P. O'Ceal
laigh, the Sinn Fein “representative
of the provisional government of the
Irish republic,” when the Irish dele
gate laid the Irish memorial before the
peace conference. The appeal was
contained in a letter to President Wil
son asking him to urge the peace con
ference to invite the Irish national
representatives to be present at its
deliberations. Mr. O’Ceallaigh also
urged President Wilson to support the
claim to freedom which the Irish rep
resentatives wish to lay before the
conference.
Referring to the memorial in which
he had recited the* claims of the
“Irish Republic” to a right to join
the league of nations as an independ
ent state. Mr. O’Ceallaigh wrote to the
President:
“To what has been said in that
memorial, urging the justice of letting
Ireland’s claim to freedom be heard
before a political status hateful to her
is stamped with the approval and en
forced by the power of the free na
tions of the world, may I not add that
the people of Ireland look hopefully
to you in a special degree for counten
ance and support notably because you
are the honored President of that re
public which counts among its most
loyal and devoted citizens the greater
part of the Irish race and because
they recognize in you the clearest ex
ponent of the principles of freedom
the world has seen since the days of
Washington.
“In their latest exercise, last De
cember, ol the inherent right of self
determination the Irish people, at this
world crisis, have been profoundly in
fluenced and inspired by the words
you have spoken, the principles you
have expounded, the rules of interna
tional conduct you have promulgated
and have brought the nations to ac
knowledge. In these utterances they
have found a source of great encour
agement and highest hope. In particu
lar they affirm, as applying specially
to the case of Ireland, the following
passage in your speech of September
27, 1918, in New York.
“The issues are these: Sfeall the
military power of any nation or groups
of nations be suffered to determine the
fortunes of peoples over whom they
have no right to rule except by right
of force? Shall strong nations be free
to wrong weak nations and make them
subject to their purposes and inter
est? Shall peoples be ruled and dom
inated even in their own internal af
fairs by arbitrary and irresponsible
force or by their own will and choice?
Shall there be a common standard of
right and privilege for all peoples and
nations, or shall there be a common
concert to oblige the observance dt
common rights?”
“In the clear light of these great
words the Irish people, filled with
hope, ask your mighty influence to
prevent the exception of Ireland from
the principles of freedom ajid justice
to which you are rallying the support
of the 'world, to urge upon the confer
ence the duty of inviting the Irish
National representatives to be present
at its deliberations, and support the
claims to freedom which they are
waiting to place before the tribunal
of the nations."

OSCAR STANAGE OF DETROIT TOPS ALL
LEAGUE CATCHERS IN POINT OF SERVICE
i
Oacar J/asrapa
ficfc/j'e A/hj/nith ^ArS**..
In Oscar Stanage the Tigers have
the oldest catcher in point of service
I In the majors. He is entering his
eleventh complete season with Detroit
and has a part of another to his credit,
having joined the team late in 1908.
Detroit also has in Eddie Ainsmith
the catcher who has been in the
American league the second longest.
Eddie began the 1910 season with
Washington and was with the Na
tionals continuously until the trade
last winter which made him a Tiger.
Stanage’s closest rival for length
of duty in. the majors was Jimmy
Archer, the former Cub star.
Stanage and Archer.
Oscar and Jimmy became big
leaguers at the same time, as the
1909 campaign was nearing its end.
Both came from the same league, the
Eastern, Stanage from the Newark
Club and Archer from Buffalo.
Oscar has seen a lot of catching j
stars bob up in the major league firma
ment, sparkle a while and then fade
out of sight. In fact, he was a veteran
when most of the present major league
catching greats reached the top.
For Ten Long Years.
The most remnrkable feature of
Stanage’s long career is the fact that
he has been Detroit’s first catcher for
ten seasons. During that time lie has
taken all the bumps that a catcher Is
expected to take, and, except -for lay
offs due to injuries, lias been in the
lineup almost constantly. He was par
ticularly unfortunate wjth injuries last
season.
And yet Jennings and Tigers to a
man insist that the veteran receiver
is as good as ever. They believe he
is due for a great year, his best for
some time.
Unless his foot trouble which de
veloped recently becomes serious, he
will probably catch most of the games
again this season.
