IRISH FACTIONS CLASH
 IN POLITICAL MEETING
Especial from United Press. )

Dublin. Sept. 9-Irish factionists in Tim Healys county Louth constft uency, are nursing bruised heads today as the result of ia regular Kilkenny clash last night at a political meeting in Dundalk. Followers of John Red early evening and took possession of the hall where the meeting was to have been held. When the HeaIyites tried to enter the hall free-for-all fight ensued.
 Healy's appearance on the scene brought the disorder to a climax and chairs and tables were broken in the melee. Two prieststried to pacify the belligerents but they too were assa ult- ed. The Healyites were finally driven from the hall and Healy himself chased by a mob to his hotel. Only the intervention of a squad of police with drawn clubs saved Healy from rougher treatment.
 At least 40 persons were injured. The fight indicates that the National ist7 split is becoming more aggravated.

 Miller whaled a double into the right field throng( With two and none down it looked surely if the F'inne-
 gans would break up the game: Need ham wend out on a foth fly which Cy
 Miller pulled down while alr4bst sif- ting on the third base fence. Tom Crook made a clever pickup of Hoov- CTS savage slam, mailing Lee by mile at the home plate. Walter
 Ahearn had the orb headed for a two
 bagger, as much as the ground rules
 would allow, but Hi Ladd ran out with
 it light and swift as a deer and got
 both hands on it so far out that 1t was hard to tell whether he was in
 or out of the park.
 Again in the third the F'innegans
 had a beautiful chance to score. but
 hobby fielding stopped their play.
 Tucley began the inning by shaking fly over second base looked good for a base, but Ladd by some tall hustling
 got under the boost, making won

 first base fence. Tuckey going to sec ond. Tom was run down between second and third when Connaughton hit to Waller.
 It was not till the sixth the Ffnfe

 as Needham, next man up. lifted an easy fly to Crook.
 Not another F'innegan saw the buoys until the ninth, when after Lee was down, Miller kicked out his second two
 bagger of the game. Needham was again a minus 0II3ntitV. whiting the
 breezes much to the relief of the in->
 tensified fanatics. Capt. Connaughton tried a new ruse, for he took Miller off
 the second bag and sent Art Nichols into the game. and also gave Kiernan the high sign to go up there and hit it out for Hoover. Kiernan wears his cap on the side of his head, making a
 bad impression with the elite gather
