ZBYSZKO IN NEW YORK.
Arrives to Prepare for Lewis Match
 in Garden.

New York, March 15.-WIadek Zbyszko the Polish Hercules. who is to meet Strangler Lewis at Madison Square Garden Friday in a, wrestling match, arrived in town yesterday. Zbyszko came from Chicago, where he wound up a successful tour which included a decision over Joe Stecher.
 Before he left Chicago Zbyszko de- clared that he was more than willing to meet Lewis on a winner take all basis. The Polish giant feels conf dent that on his recent showings he is in fine physical condition and fit to conquer the headiest expert. Though the majority of wrestlers refuse to meet Lewis on the ground that his headlock is a strangle hold, Zbyszko figures that his toe hold will moro than offset the strength and cruelty of Strangler Lewis headlock.

than the rest.

New York, March 15.-The three- cornered deal which Mana ger Branch Hickey has been trying to put through among the New York, St Louis, and Washington clubs has been blocked by Barney Dreyfuss of PiPttsburgh. Rickey's object in coming here was to trade Catcher Mike Gonzales of the Cardinals to the Giants, while the Giants were to let Outfielder DaveN Robertson go to Washington and Wilmington in turn was to hand over Shortstop Doe Lavan to Hickey.
 It seems that all the club owners but Dreyfuss waived claim on Robert son. Dreyfuss refuses to let him get away from the National Leagiie. Drey- fuss and Hickey had a long talk be- fore the St. Louis manager left town yesterday morning, but the Pirate owner was still insistent in his claim for Robertson. He figures that if FtobertsOn is going to play anywhere Pittsburgh would have good use for him.
 Robertson has made it plain that he will not play with any club but Wash ington and if DreyfusS insists on re- fusing to allow him to get out of tie National League he will retire from the game and go into business with his father in Virginia.

The game was one of the best the local team played in q long time. The fact that they were weak in shooting fouls accounts for the defcac of the local team as eight foul goals were missed by Burns.
 Much interest was manifested in the game and there was nearly as many New Britain rooters as there were Hartford r0oterS. The crowd was quiet and very much different from tne game between the two teams in this city. Cho local team was given much support in the cheering line by many of the alumni who were pres cnt wanting to see a victory. Pro- bu}>i>, 200 New Britain people attended tho game
 The game was fast from the start. Four of tho regular men of the Hart ford team were disqualified before the game and that fact alone saved tho local boys from Q bad defeat. Dodge and Sickler played a good game for Hartford and alth oush they lowered heads above their opponents they caused no casualty list to he prepared.
 Bunny was the individual star for the local team. caging four baskets during the contest. The team work of the local team was commenda ble. During the second half the crowd gave the local boys many cheers for the clever team work which they showed and two or three times it looked as if the locals would put over victory but the Hartford boys would come back strong each time and save the game. Captain Taylor, Burns, Wood ford and kehoc, also played Q fine game of basketball

such an extent that a petition bear

that would be affected by the pave
ment of five other alleys in the bus

II was not the men but the circum-
stances at Paris that made it almost
impossible to make just peace, &C.
cording to President Wilson. Yet
there were some men, too. The en-
tire Jap delegation was against de-
cehcy and justice and for grabbing
whatever Japan could get. Clemen-
ceau was against decent and just
peace, laughed at a league of nations
and was set on Furnishing Germany,
violating all the IA points he had as
scented to in the armistice, robbing
Germany of territory as much as he
could get, and destroying her as the
defeated, in the oldtime manner. Or
lando of Italy belonged also to the
old crowd, but rather with the Jap
anese motive of plumber than Glenn
enceau's of destruction and revenge.
There were strong men at the peace
conference who as much as circum-
stances and conditions made it pos
sible to obtain a peace such as was
hoped. And the outcome is as good
as could have come out of such sit
uation.-Topeka Capital.

OUR PUNY SUGGESTION

Our puny suggestion for settling
the daylight saving law would be
that it is futile to change the time
God gave us it is not changeable.
But is possible to enact federal law
establishing working hours in con-
formity with the needs of the great
factory cities wherein the change
seems essential. This should be
agreeable to the farmers who seem
to be little stubborn over this tri-
fling matter. From the noise that is
made in the partisan press, one
would think this was life and death
matter with the great mass of the
people. The contention over the mat
ter simply goes to show how great
slaves the mass of the people are to
forms and customs that have no
vital import.
