c NOWTY BAKER, the Australian O sporting man and theatrical manager, has not forgotten those friends he made in th1s country on his tour of the S ates several years ago. This morning we came in re- ceipt of the mimeographed bulletin that Baker issuss every now and then for a few sporting friends in this country. It's an interesting letter and contains the latest sport doings in the land of the antipodes. Tor that reason we are publishing it. Follow ing IS the bulletin as we got 1t to- day:
 A twenty round fight has been arranged for Frank Darcy and is to be staged at an early date. This lad who Is nineteen years old, Is at present a niddleweight but he will probably develop into N the heavy class and experts ex- pect him to do bigger things even than his brother, the late Les Darcy

 A number of big interstate contests are being arranged for the returned soldiers and should bring forth good crop of champs. Boxing has been taught in all of the training camps and has been practised a lot, both there and behind the lines.
 Tho noble art is now being taught in all of the schools here, and Australian youngsters are certainly being given every chance to show what they're made of when it comes to fstic battles.
 Snowy Baker has brought joy oo the hearts of physical culture enthusiasts and sports generally In having put on foot a move ment to erect a big athletic club in this city. The club Is to be modelled like the Los Angeles Athletic Club and the Olympic Club. Both Frank Carbutt of Los Angeles and William Hum phreys of the Olympic have promised to give their assistance and advice. A fine block of land

THH BASEBALL season has not
 \ yet started, but at that the Red Sox are playing whirlwind ball. With most of its last years veterans back, indications point to another winning club for Boston. Manager Barrov has turned out to be as crafty Q. manager of ball clubs as he was president of the old Internationa! League, The showing his team made 4n the Giants games Is indeed a credit to any pilot, particularly when such performances are given at such an early stage of tho baseball year.

Sunday ball means also that the International League will take on a new lease in life. for Buff falo and Rochester are strong Sunday towns. The league has deferred announcement of its schedule pending the action of the New York Legislature. The New York State and Hudson Val lev Leagues will also benefit con siderabiy.

Baseball practice will be begun by the local team probably inside of two weeks. Manager Grimes has not been heard from in several days, but President Lane informed the writer today that he will be on hand within two weeks. Meanwhile he and Sec retary Kelly are turning over all ap- plications by ambitious youngsters to Manager Grimes. Ray is expected to announce the opening date of the Eastern League practice season as soon as the opening date of the reg ular playing year has been definitely fixed.

It took three defeats to persuade the Giants to make up their minds that the Boston Red Sox constitute the greatest defensive team ever or ganized in the majors. Even at this early stage of the game, the Red Sox are playing remarkable baseball and lave two straight victories over the Giants to their credit. The Bos- tonlans will play their way North, meeting four of the National League clubs on the trip.

Connie Mack is quietly, but busily getting together what promises to be another crack Philadelphia nine. Connie has developed many wonderful play CTS, but this season he has re- mained silent, but those who have watched his men in action in PhiIly predict bis things for the old war horse. The 1918 sea- son was a disastrous one for Connie, but if his men live true to form this year, it will be far better and faster team that will represent Quakertown in the American League this season.

Bill Brennan, who is umpiring the Giant-Red Sox series. will be umpire in the Southern Association this sea son. New York scribes who are down South with the Giants agree that Brennan is too good an arbiter to be stored away in the wilds of the South this season.

The Rhode Island Senate yes
 terday by a vote of 26 to Il
 passed in concurrence with the
 House the bill Iegalizing the
 playing of professional baseball
 on Sunday. The measure pro
 voked strong opposition from the
 religious societies of the state.
 While the applicatz ons of Pittsfield and Northampton have the approval of 9 majority of the present E. L. club owners, the request of the Hol- yoke sports Is not one that satisfies them. Holyoke is a fairly prosperous city, but, argue some magnates, it is not prepared to support a league club. The Holyoke Chamber of Com p1erce, however, will be represented oy several delegates who will en- deavor to prove that that city can and will back a club this season.

The biggest surprise baseball has re- ceived was given yesterday when the New York Assembly concurred with the Senate and passed the Sunday baseball biT1. The bill Is expected to be signed by Governor Smith today. With baseball in New York on Sun day, the major league season in the East should be the best in its history this year.

record beyond all dispute. Boil.

combined to produce an epidemic
of insanity. Asylums are over

"nationalized, bodies of the

dumped into common grave at
the cost of the state. no religious

some of the towns women have
been "nationalized" for the gar

Later. when Bolshevism became an
international problem, the allies
and America failed to agree on a
strong policy. Instead, there was
delay and a half-hearted, tardy
support Of the Czecho- Slovaks in

the result, Bolshevism has grown

there is no Allied Russian policy.
