TO0tcr Away From the Barrier
 Tooter Brandon, the former To- cal smi-pro, who stepped into a class A berth right off the sand lots last year, and who remained throughout the season with the Barons. looks like he's been hop ping off to a successful campaign. Toater has been smacking the ball on the nose all spring, and has improved his running won derfully. He practieed the art of sprinting faithfully through the winter months. and has learned to get up on his toes, whereas last summer he was wont to go at the running business in flat footed fashion. To show that he has the old batting eye in focus Tooter cracked out a couple ot healthy doubles out of three umes at bat Wednesday and led ms mates in the hitting.
 That Kane Boy Again
 John (Sugar) Kane is also up To the tricks which stamped him in the eyes of the fans last spring before he was shipped 10 Merid- ian. Kane cracked out a triple ana single out of four times at bat Wednesday. More and more It looks like the Kane boy-is dua 10 win permanent berth as Baron utility man. If he keeps sWatting the ball he may even land regular berth.

 Wednesdays game was not any record breaker from crowd standpoint. The chilly brand of weather the weather man has been serving has dulled baseball enthusiasm temporarily. but with another day or so of sunshine the fans will be right back to witness Saturdays game at the

LONDON. July 3.-The Irish rcpub-
lican forces under Eamon de Valera
are making their last stand in Dublin
against the Free State troops IN the
hotels and adjoining buildings along
one square in O'Connell Street. I'm
der the cover OF bombardment that
lasted all day and continued without
cessation after dark. the provisional
government forces drew their lines
closer and closer in spite OF the IL
rcculars FIRE from machine guns and
rifles. Buildings were badly damaged
and some took FIRE, but there was no
indication Of surrender. One message
that passed the Dublin censors said
that Lord Mavor O'Neil had been made
prisoner. and as he has been a strong
supporter of the Free Staters II is
surmised that mis- capture had been
carried out By the republicans.
The government troops attempted no
major attack. but IL appears as though
their tactics had resulted IN driving a
wedge between De Valcras headquar-
tcrs in O'Connell Street and the re-
publican forces IN the smaller hotels
