fast game, played in the University
Heights gymnasium. last night. The
score was "a to 10 Not more than two

play.
Frequent fouls marred the contest
The teams were tied at the end of the
first half at 10 points. Each side
scored FIVE goals from the field, but the
accurate shooting of foul baskets by
White. the New York left guard, &C
counted for the victory. White shot

and nine from the foul line, did the
most scoring for the Connecticut five.

TIP TOP SCRIBES
HAVE CLOSE CALL
Crash Between Automo-
bile and Team Of Mules
Is Narrowly Averted.
ny Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Browns Wells, Miss, March l0.-Five
newspaper men, r. Riley, Bert Yoel,
George Christie. R. Rooney and Louis
Conan. who are covering the doings at
the trimming camp Of the Tip Tops, had
a narrow escape tonight.
The automobile they were in was
ditched in endcayoring 10 avoid strik-
ing a team of frightened mules. which
was drawing a heavy truck on a narrow
roadway between here and the training
grounds. The presence Of mind and
skilful driving of the chauffeur, John
Weiss, prevented a collision.
Weiss saw the team ahead OF him
and blew his siren warning the driver
Of the mules 20 turn aside. The driver
did so. but the mules became balky
and darted for the machine. Like a
fash Of lightning the chauffeur steered
his car into the ditch. The machine
was saved from being turned over by
striking the side of the pit. Outside
OF a scare and q little shaking up the
scribblers escaped without injury. A
passing automobile gave the reporters
q lift and brought them to town.
Practice to-day consisted principally
Of figuring out complicated plays, sig
nal work and bunting drill for the
pitchers.
Magee spent considerable time show
ing the fingers how to drop the ball
TO the right and left. lie maintains
that the inability of pitchers to be able
to lay down bunt at the right moment
often is the cause Of the withdrawal
Of a twirler from the game. He wants
to avoid this.

REFUSES TO REFORM
But McGraw Gives His Men Two
Sessions of Work-TeSreau
Wild on Mound.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.


Marlin. Tex. March l0.-For teach
ing languages nothing can compare
with baseball. Take the case of Don
Emilio Palmero, the Cuban lefthander,
who arrived in Marlin to-day. When
he came to the training camp year
ago he was so inept in English that
he nearly starved TO death until Chief
Myers taught him to bridge the dim
eulties of the menu with the phrase,
Bring what you got" But = season
of baseball IN America has made dlf-
ference.
To such an extent has Palmero mas
tered our tongue that he is able TO
have his eggs fried on both sides and
70 obtain his coffee in a large or
small cup. as he may desire. More
over ne has learned TO overcome the
limits Of his vocabulary with vivid
pantomime.
In answer TO a question this evening
he stated that his club, the Havanas'
had captured the championship IF Cuba
and that he had won ten out OF ffteen
games IN the league race. And how
cid you come 10 lose those five games
he was asked.
For p moment Palmero hesitated and
attempted 10 dig out the words re-
CURED. but then he smiled as an easier
method came 70 mind, and, STOPPING,
kicked violently with first his right and
then his left foot. For just moment
his interviewers were puzzled. Then
the light dawned. "Ah, yes!" they ex-
claimed. "The games were booted
away"
Although Palmero is late in report

count of the recent games in Cuba, and
il is expected that he viii give Terdi-
nand Schupp q close race for the job of
assistant left-hander of the New York
Giants.
Chief Meyers was the only person in
the Giant camp last year who could
converse with Palermo in his native
language, but since then Bill Hanna
has undertaken the study of Spanish.
So rapidly has Mr.. Hanna progressed
IN the last ten months that he is able

"The man runs swiftly to the brook"
and "My cousins sister has red hat
Il is believed that this will be a great
comfort to Palermo.
In spite Of the positive assurances
given by the citizens of Marlin, the
weather to-day showed little inclina-
ton TO reform. There was no snow,
but a bitter wind made practice almost
as difficult Nevertheless, NcGraw
gave his men two sessions Of baseball.
Curiously enough there are not more
than two or three sore arms in camp.
Several Of the veterans have worked
into condition rapidly enough to turn
on the speed.
JEFF Tesreau took the mound this
morning and pitched with such VIC
lence that few Of the waiting batters
were loath TO face his fast ones. cou-
pied, as they were, with only spring

Indeed, il would appear the team ~

Hunter Goodbred and Ed App Teton are
about ready to cut loose, and each IS
well supplied with the goods that good

he burned them i'll IS If it were mid

the swing for home early next month.
Leon Galore is bright possibility.
Not only can he pitch. but he is a

STATE WATCHING
MUNITION PLANTS
Inspectors Will Work With
Safety Committees to Pro-
vide Against Accidents

Every plant in Pennsylvania manu-
featuring explosives, shells or other
munitions of war is under special in
spection by State inspectors now. Re-
ports on conditions in every plant have
been made regularly for the last year
and half, but recently steps have
been taken to improve the safety ar
rangements and to avoid as far as pos
sible the accidents which statistics sent
to the Capitol have shown are due to
the speeding up" of plants on war
orders or the careless handling of
dangerous substances.
The dispatch OF two of the experts
from the Department of Labor and
Industry to the Bethlehem steel works
last night is only part of the State
campaign. as every works manufac-
turing munitions is to be visited by ex-
perts and supervisors i'll addition to
the regular inspectors and the pre-
VentiVe work organized as far' as pos
sfble. The plan of the State officials is
to insist upon strict inspection and
rigid compliance with the regulations
OF the factory inspection, but to go be-
yond that by asking the cooperation
of employers in making conditions
safe.
In the powder and similar works
special attention will be given to the
handling and storage of explosives; in
munitions works to the precautions
against fire or bomb plotters. Loose
ends and dangerous practices will be
eliminated and as far as authority can
go in orders and cooperation with
special police, safety committees and
