such good men as Finlayson and Grebe. two promising men from the local Y. M. c. A, and Murphy and Paradis of the Bear Cats, Swanson and Sullivan of the Baltic Aces. These boys in a short while should furnish nearly as exciting games as the big fellows. Co. A of New London was one of the fast est teams in the New London Indus trial league and should give the End team a good go.
 The program arranged by Manager Benoit is one worth seeing, and if the public patronize the game nothing will be too good for Norwich. So the sports should turn out strong and give the game a good send-of as basket ball is getting to be one of the most exciting sports in the country.

Englishman Claims
Discovery of
MayfoWer's Hull

London. July 29.-Dis covery of the
hull of the Mayfiower. the ship in
which the Pilgrim Fathers sailed to
America, is claimed by Or. Rendel
Harris, chairman of the English
Speaking Union, according TO the Daily
Mail. He will reveal details of the
secret at conference to be held at
Plymouth in September.
In the meantime. however, the pa
per learns that old timbers, including
oaken beams supporting the roof,
found in a barn adjoining an inn called
Old Jordan's Hostel at Chalfont street,
Giles, Buckinghamshire are considered
by DR.. Harris to have originally been
part Of the hull and deck of the May
flower. Some of the beams, which are
worn and worm-eaten, bear marks in
dicating that they might formerly
have held ships rivets and tackle.
There is local theory, the paper con-
tinues. that Quaker formerly lived in
the neighborhood who was a profess
sional shipbreaker, selling ship tim
bers to farmers of the surrounding
try. 1t has been suggested that he
broke up the Mayfiower and sold the
timbers to the owner of Old Jordan's
Hostel. No proof beyond this vague
tradition is offered by the Mail.

porters. The driver gave his name to

slightly cut on the right side of her
head where the breaking glass of the
windshield had given her quite a
scratch. The other woman received

Operators Refuse
Joint Conference
with Miners on Award

chicago, July 29-Coal operators or
Indiana today declined to participate
in joint conference with the miners.
as suggested by John L. Lewis, in
ternational president of the United
Mine Workers of America, with a
view to changing or amending the
Interstate agreement and the COM
merce. commission award.
The executive committee Of the In
diana bituminous coal operators as
ISOLATION, in announcing it's action.
said it was Influenced by the fact
that all contracts, state and inter
state, were but re-affirmation and
acceptance by the operators and
miners Of an award mandatory in
it's provisions.
I'VE are not forgetful," the COM
mittee stated, "of the resiousness Of
the present situation as it affects the
country and we regret hat in he
premises our hands are tied.
Contracts should be sacredly and
rigidly enforced. To treat them as
scraps of paper is not only detrimen-
tai to the coal industry, but incon-
venient and injurious to the public
welfare.
I've suggest that you start the
mines in operation. guarantee to the
public its fuel supply and secure
from the government the right TO
meet to consider any alleged griev-
ances and to adjust any wrong"
Replies to Mr. Lewis request for
the joint conference have not been
sufficient to indicate whether the
majority of the mine owners favor
such meeting. Thomas T. Brewster,
chairman Of the Operators Scale
Committee, said today.
The coal operators are to meet here
tomorrow to discuss the coal and
strike situation, it was announced.
They will represent all of the larger
mining interests in Illinois, Indiana.
