SPORTING
TO STOP SUNDAY
BASEBALL FOR 1920
Lords Day League of Massachusetts,
Hopes to Delay Sports Bill With
Initiative and Referendum.

BOSTON, March l6.-Anticipating that
the Sunday baseball BILL recently report
ed by the legislative committee on legal
affairs will be enacted into law by the
present general court, the Lords day
league has already taken steps to pre-
vent the operation of that law this year
and to submit the question to the voters
of the state next November, under the
initiative and referendum.
Rev Martin d. kneeland of Winches-
ter, general secretary of the Lords day
league, has strenuously opposed Sunday
baseball for years. He has been in charge
of the fight against such legislation dur
ing the past few years, and made par
ticularly strong stand at the hearings
held recently before the committee on
legal affairs.
Under the initiative and referendum
petition containing 10 signatures can be
filed with the secretary of state to pre-
vent the operation of any law enacted by
the legislature, pending a referendum at
the next state election. This original
petition must be followed by a second
petition containing $1,000 signatures
from four counties of the commonwealth.
Upon the filing of this second petition
the operation of the law is held up and
the question goes on the ballot for de
cision by the people
The preliminary petition, according to
representatives of the Lords day league,
has already been made out and the sigma
lures attached. This action means that
there can be no Sunday baseball this
wear until after the November election
The bill provides that in cities and
towns where the act is accepted amateur
Sunday sports may be played on play
grounds and parks to be designated by
the municipalities between the hours OF
, and 6 p. m. No admission fees are to
be charged and no collections taken. Nc
business enterprise can be conducted IL
connection with the games.

NO COMPULSORY VOTING.
Massachusetts Legislature Opposes 1t
State Tax of SI4O0O,O0O.

BOSTON, March 10. - By a vote of
"a to 20, the house yesterday refused to
substitute for an adverse report the bill
providing compulsory voting. Repre-
sentative Smith of Provincetown led
the fight for substitution, arguing that
the ratification of the constitutional
amendment giving the legislature au-
thority to enact compulsory voting was
sufficient reason for favorable action.
Representative Lyman of Northamp-
ton, chairman of ways and means, read
a long statement in the house in expla-
nation of the work of the committee
on the state budget, which provides for
a state tax of $14,000,000

FISHING SEASON EXTENDED.
Fishing Through Ice in Windham and
Rutland Counties Ends March 81.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Leavens has issued an order extending
the season for fishing through the ice this
spring in Windham and Rutland counties
as follows Walleyed pike or pike
perch, pickerel and great northern pike
may be taken through the ice with tip
ups until April |. which means that
March 81 will be the last day to take
these fish in this manner. This step is
taken by reason of the abnormal ice CON
ditions which have prevailed during the
regular fishing season, preventing fisher
men from enjoying the usual amount of
tipup fishing.

Early last week all teachers sent to the
office marks for those whose attitude is
unsatisfactory in any way. A in de-
pertinent on a pupils card indicates that
no teacher filed a report; a lower mark
shows the average of the reports. The
faculty believes that no boy and no girl

school order is unsatisfactory to the
whole teaching staff can be kept a mem
Der of the student body of the high

that he deserves an F. mark in deport-

as a direct warning that improvement is
necessary: that study periods must be
used to better advantage, that there must
be more prompt and courteous response
to suggestions and directions, that better
school spirit must be shown.

.is admitted BY. Admiral Sims that in
the spring OF 1918 American troops
were transported to France at the
rate Of nearly 100000 a month, or
more than e n3times the rate to which
he said transportation had been re-
stricted in 1917 because Of the de-
s%truction Of tonnage. This simple
fact refutes absolutely Admiral Sims
sta that the tonnage losses ,of
1917 made 1t impossible to transport
any considerable American army and
made 1t necessary to limit the num-
Der Of American troops that could abc

Admiral Sims based his estimate OF

On an average loss for the Allies OF

Daniels said.

four months falls short of half a mil

The. admiral based the charge on

and completed the reasoning by as

of the American. navy to cooperate
heartily in the first months of the
war resulted in the heavy tonnage

Daniels said. He informed the

common knowledge that on May l.
1918, the tonnage was less than OF
May i, 1917. Testimony given by Ad-
miral Sims would indicate that the
net loss during the year was about
two million tons. This is probably a
sufficiently close estimate for prac.
tical. purposes. Now then, owing to
the tonnage losses of 1917 and the
earlier part of 1918 THE net tonnage
available to the Allies had been re-
duced from $1,000, 900 on May /, 1917,

Manlapit, president Of the Filipino
union and prominent in sugar planta-

by the territorial grand jury on a
charge Of embezzlement. s.
Manlapit is accused of having ac-

converting the money to his own use.
He was released on $1,000 bonds.
Manlapit issued the order for the
Filipinos to strike on the sugar plan

iTleged failure to render the Filipinos
aid. Z
Subsequently. he announced he had
been misled and that the strike should
be continued. Planters say that de-
spite. or because of. Maniapit's nu-
merous orders to his countrymen.

Gently, however. he was quoted as say
