Fooled in their attempt to steal the
bell from the Lutheran church near
Davenport about two weeks ago,
thieves took another chance with re-
ligion and law Sunday night and
successfully carried off the 800-pound
bell from the belfry of the Catholic
church at Fingal, Barnes county.
The robberyr-wa reported to the
sheriff of Cass county Monday even
ing. The plunderers are believed by
Deputy Sheriff Fred Kraemer to have
been the same ones who worked
near Davenport, as an auto trailer
was used in transporting the cargo.
officers believe the bell has been
melted by this time for its valuable
alloys. ........ s.-H
The bell was presented to the
Catholic church at Ffngal by Joseph
Wurzer.
The bell from the Lutheran church
near Davenport was dropped from
it's rafters, placed on a trailer and
taken to within a short distance of
the railroad yards in Davenport
where it was placed on top of some
ties. These were fired, but the ar
rival Of day caused the men to aban-
don the loot.

 NEW HAVEN WILL
 START ON SUNDAY

New Haven, May 4-Further inn petus was given to the Weiss-Collins controversy last night when it be- came known that the two promoters plan to stage rival baseball attractions here Sunday. Collins has made ar rangements for a game at Savin Rock, Marlin Fire Arms Go. teams, while house Point between the 5Colonials and the Asbury Park nine, led by Andy Coak1ey The two games are expected to feel the pub1ic's. pulse and will furnish some idea as to which team has the most followers.
 The scheduled game at the Rock will be the first Sunday exhibition that has been attempted there since the early season of 1916 when Chief Loomis put @ quietus on the sport. West Haven fans as a unit are not ,op- posed to Sunday baseball. but it is an open question whether Collins will be able to get away with it or not. Some say there will be no trouble while others are skeptical.
 Manager Weiss of the. Colonials, when informed of Collins action, stated that he doubted if Sunday base ball would be tolerated at the Rock .'
 Collins and Weiss met by accident in the Jeurna1-Courier office last night. Collins spoke up with a cold "Hellor' but Weiss refused to return the greeting. Its getting, too warm here, and I better be going" said Weiss as he dashed down the stairs and out of the door.

AMER. ASSOCIATION I DRAWING POORLY:
 MAY CLOSE EARLY

New York, May 4EF'rom Minneapo- lis comes the news that the American association may cancel a part of the playing season because of poor gate receipts; the low attendance at the games and the small revenue being due to the war. Some of the club own CTS have .broached the subject to President Hickey and a meeting will be held in Chicago within a few days to take up the, matter.
 Te teams in the strong middle west .ern circuit: got away to big crowds on the opening days, the attendance passing the 15,00O mark in several cities, but ever since the attendance has been falling off until at the pres sent time crowds that top the 1000 mark on week days are the exception rather than the rule.
 s If the association decides to play an abbreviated schedule it will probably mean the cancellation of the inter- league series with the International. the August-September feature which has aroused no end of interest in ma jor and minor league baseball circles. The International has also had tough sledding ever since the season opened. but not one of the club owners has been spilling any tears for publication at least. The top-heavy salaries paid ih the Hickey organization undoubted-
 ly have had some effect in depleting
 treasuries.

He covered all the in6eld in front of him and twice blighted developing attcks by ViIlanova NIolyneaux was in great form and only two hits were made off his work until Pennsylvania broke the ice in the seventh.
 Ward Hinkson acted as captain of the Quaker nine in.{ the absence of Howard Berry. He made a circus catch of fly from Dougherty's bat in the first inning, robbing the batter of at least double. Pennsylvania had chance to score in the. first in ming, but Jimmy Todd, who was on third base, was fooled by Mo1yneaux's pitching motion. Todd started for the plate and was nipped as he dived for the rubber. Johnny White followed this. by singling to centre.

HARVARD LIKELY TO ACCEPT <
 YMES BASEBALL CHALLENGE
Two Games May Be Played If It Is Decided to
 Resume Athletic Relations

New Haven. May 4-Harvard's athletic authorities have not yet act ed upon the suggestion from Yale that teams representing the Crimson and Blue play series of at least two games later in the spring. While Fred w. Moore declines to forecast any possible decision, it-is regarded as likely that if enough players can be found to insure fairly representative team Yale suggestion will be met. If one game or a series of games is ar ranged it is hardly likely rules of scholastic and one-year residence efi- gibility will be followed, the tendency being. to adjust conditions, to the present situation, which to say the least, is hardly normal. In other
 words, membership of the teams would follow the lines of rather com :pref1ensive adjustment s
