PARENT IS AFTER
 WINGS FRANCHISE
Says He Win Have Conference Whh
 George Cameron, the Owner.

New Haven, July 1S.-It has been learned from an authoritative source that Freddy Parent, the former New Haven shortstop, but now with the Baltimore club of the Inter national league, is in the field to buy the New Haven baseball franchise and will shortly open negotiations with Owner George M. Cameron who is in a Chicago hospital recovering from series of operations for stom- ach trouble.
 The disposition of a number of players by Owner Jack Dunn of the Baltimore club has started Parent wondering where he is to land if the selling of Orioles continues, and as he is anxious to get out of the active end of baseball and settle down at the head of some club he is casting longing glances at the local franchise.
 Parent admitted that he did not know what Cameron was asking for the club and that he hadn't looked over the proposition lately to have enough information to talk regular business yet, but he would have this in day or two and then would ap- proach Cameron.
 Some time ago it was reported that Cameron would take $15,000 for the franchise and give a lease of his ball park for five years at $1,200 year. Several baseball men said at the time 1t was reported that J. Harmar Bron- son wanted James Canavan to buy the club and run it, that the franchise was worth $S,0o0, but latterly and at the time the club was going poorly, baseball men thought $6,000 would be 8 fair price.
 Bronson has given up the idea of buying the club. Canavan wouldn't buy it, he says unless he could get grounds away from the shore, as he thinks the Rock is hoodooed and Bill Hanna hasn't been heard from since making an offer a couple of years ago.

NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH.
Hartford Man Saved By Acrobatic
 Stunts.

Hartford, Conn.,, July 18.-Joseph HoImeier, a structural iron worker of this city, is today more than ever a firm believer in the value of an ath- letic training. Holmeier, known as an amateur acrobat, was at work on the ninth story of a building in pro- cess of erection here yesterday when the board on which he was standing slipped and he was shot downward toward the roof over the sixth story over forty feet below.
 He started downwards, but in the course of his descent he turned a couple of somersaults which served to break his fall and he escaped with a dislocated shoulder. His acrobatic feat in the air also saved him from striking a couple of iron projections on the way down.

CLAIM COMMISSION
 BILL TOO GENERAL
Senators Say Measure Would Result in Endless Court Action for
 Interpretation.

Washington, July 1s-work of per- fecting antitrust legislation was going forward by the senate Judiciary and interstate commerce committees today. Indications today were that several days more would be nsces- sary to complete the measures.
 The provision of the bill as re- vised in the interstate commerce. com- niittee, would amend that section of the interstate trade commission bill now before the senate to make unlaw- fuI unfair competition" Republican and democratic senators object that the bill is too general in its terms and would result in endless court action for interpretation.
 The proposed amendment would authorize the trade commission to de- termine what constitutes unfair com petition with authority to stop it. The commissions decisions, however, would be subject to court review as to facts and laws.
 The committee was today consider ing the question whether the inter state commerce commission should be empowered under the railway secur- ities bill to determine to what use funds realized by common carriers from issues of securities had been used.
 The Judiciary committee was firi- ishing proposed amendment to strengthen the section of the Clayton antitrust bill relating to holding com paniee.

 In the seventh inning Pitcher Fin neran sent up a swift inshoot that nearly knocked Davy Jones' head off, and when the next pitch came in the same direction the former Detroit star ran out to the pitchers box way ing his bat as if to strike the young Brooklyn twirler.
