NEWFOUNDLAND
 TO IMPORT FISH

St. Johns, March 27-Although bringing fish to New Found1and would seem like carrying coaIs to Newcastle, there is prospect that it will be at tempted on a considerable scale this year. The proposition comes from Iceland. Because of the. war the markets of northern Europe are closed to the fishermen of that island and they are forced to seek a new out let Since the fishing operations off the New FoundIands coast will be largely curtafled this season as 8 re- suit of the large number of New Foundlanders who have joined the British army and navy, the Icelanders think they will be able. to dispose of a. large part of their product here.
 As it is proposed to purchase here foodstuffs and other goods for return cargoes to Iceland the idea, is looked upon with favor in this colony.

Hickey of St. Louis

 Be Winners This Year
(Worcester Post. )

\
 That Branch Rtckey was not greatly worried about the pitching of the St. Louis Browns is evident, because in addition to the hurlers who were with the club last season, only four recruits were brought to Houston for a trial. In addition to the four purchased and drafted players, young De Witt, an inexperienceds Texan from an inde- pendent club, was added to the. list.
 Rickey used Hamilton, Weilman, Baumgardner and James whenever this quartet was available in regular Hoeh and Mitchell for Emergency duty. There was much fault with the pitching at times because some of the boys didn't up hold their end

Hearfa Ya. do1an,s.

The curtain raiser of the evening was between the Champions and tho cellar champions and it sure was 9 curtain raiser of first class standing. The Hearts had all they could do to cop the honors and had the Johns played as strong in the, second half as they did in the first they would have eopped the honora. At the close of the first half the Champs were leading by the close score Of fl to 12. Lipta1x at center for the Johns and Crevey, the latter as usual, feat lured for the Allies while Gartland and Russell played their usual dashy4 game.
 The latter is a speed merchant and likes to fairly fly over the court. Cree vey decided to stop him last night and four times he ordered his right toe to salute Russell,a left toe and the consequence was that Russ was felled four times in his mad dash amid the plaudits of the bleache1ites who are always with the underdog. Russ played dandy game. however. aa the box score will show. In the sec ond half the Johns appeared tired and the Hearts caged the sphere at will.

Eng, for the amusement of Prince George, then Regent of England and soon after ward King George ", and his suite. which included. many nobles and army officers who had fought with WelIing- ton at Waterloo. The Regent visited Deptford to give a proper send-of to an Arctic exhibition, and the display of boxing was one of the features of the celebration. The bouts were held in tent holding a. thousand people. and on the platform in the center the leading lights of pugilism spared for the pleasure of the Prince, who heartily app1auded their efforts Tom Spring boxed with Ben Burn, Tom Oliver with Harry farmer, Ably Relas- co with Dan Mccarthy, and f.Non- parefP' Jack Randall with Jack Scrog- gins The bruisers boxed with gloves, but there is no doubt that the Prince would have found more enjoyment in 9 real set-to with the raw 'uns."

St. MarY's vs. St. Charles.

The .sstar boi1t'' of the evening
 was between the oId-tiTne rivals St.
 Maryss and St. Charles, the former
 winning the game with but two sec cnds left to play. Lyddy. the dinin-
 utive magnate from below the track
 was there vith-tIle punch at the cru- eial moment and caged the winning basket from the center of the floor. Snyder, Baker and the little manager
 were the stars of the evening from a
 St Mary standpoint while Brennan, Christy and HorkheiKner starred for the Charles, Horkhetmer performing the most brilliantly of this trio. The little rabbit was all over. caglng four baskets and at the same time shooting about ten "Chrtsty'' baskets during the evening.
 Christy, captain of the St. Charles
 team, will probably be unable to play any more this season owing to what is at present believed to be a splinter ed collar bone received during the first half of last nights game. At the time of the accident the Charles were leading by the score of 16 to G. Christy was forced to retire and his place was taken by Moran. The lat ter was away off in shooting after a three weeks 1ay-off and the Charles
 suffered greatly the loss of Christy. Hurley complained of g severe cold in the chest and was unable to start the game. At the beginning of the second half when Hurley saw his team apparently being worsted he took a, cIance,' and entered the arena. like a gladiator in the days of old. He was great on the defensive but rather weak on point getting. The first half wound up with the Charles leading by the score Of to B.
 The St. Mary boys came back strong in the second half. caging three bas- kets almost before you could say lssJacks Ruktuso ncsess1 The Charles then got busy and showed a flash of their old time form by caging two baskets,
 Horkheimer being behind the gun. Baker then caged two for the Alma
 Mater and was followed by HurIey's lone basket of the evening. Kenney and Garland, both Hearts and bit ter rivals of the Charles on the floor, were allowed to referee the game and ] in the opinion Of a great many fans they handed the game to St. Mary's.
 At the time the Charles were lead ing by a score or 20 to 18 Garland
 called a foul on Moran which was un-
 deserved and Hurley caged a free point for the St. Mary's which eventu- ally won the game for the latter five. With but two seconds left to pShy, Lyddy of St. Mary's, with the score 20 to 8 in favor of the Charles, caged beautiful basket from the center of the floor, putting his team in the lead l21 to 20.-The referee then tossed 1 the ball in the center and as he did 1 the time-keeper made it known that l the Charles had again suffered one l point trimming.

White Sox Manager Picks Quinlan to Lead
 Ofin Batting Order

Manager Rowland Of the, Chicago White Sox believes he has solved a problem which has been bothertng him considerably since the start of the training trip. From the first day that the players donned the spangles Row land has been keeping his eye peeled for man to place at the top of the batting list as leAd-off man His in- spection of the candidates has sim mered down to one man, and that is Tom Quin1an, late of Oakland, Of the Pacific Coast League.
 RowIand's selection of Quinlan has forced him to give up the idea which he long has had of converting Larry ChappeI, the player who cost the Sox $1S,0O0, Into top-notch batsnan.
 The picking of Quinlan for lead-off man also means that Buck Weaver, who performed in that position prac- ticaIly all of the time last year, will have to hold down another position in the batting order this season. Tn the games played on this trip Buck has been batting fifth, and it is thought that the new manager has taken a lot of things into considera- tfon in shifting him.
