WHO'LL SUCCEED
 GALEN A. CARTER

Who will succeed Ga1en A. Car ter. as assistant States Attorney in Fairfield County? That is the all important question which the legal profession, and the politicians Several attorneys have been groomed for tho vacancy. made by the death of Garter, who for over thirty years. held the office. The appointment is made by the judges of the Su- preme and Superior courts. If the appointment is made upon the rec ommendation of States Attorney Homes $. Cummings, then, 1t is req sonable to suppose that an attorney from Stamford, perhaps Charles F. Mcguire an associate of Cummings, who is more or less familiar with the duties of the States Attorney will receive his endorsement
 However there are some four or five names which stand out persist ently as eligibles in the minds of people who are conjecturing. Among others, is the name of F. Earle Gar lick, who has held the position Of prosecutor in this city. Other pos abilities mentioned are: George F. Mara, who acted as proxy for Cum mings until his arrival at the Dem ocratic National Convention in San Francisco two years ago; Vincent L. Heating, assistant to Garlick. who understands the procedure neces- sary for carrying to completion the prosecution of a case, and A. l.. De fancy former prosecutor of the City of Bridgeport.
 It is expected that the appoint ment will be made in the immediate future, that the cases which are tried in the September term may be re- viewed and prepared for Cummings who will conduct their prosecution.

COAST LEACUERS
: TO FIGHT BETTORS
Club Owners Will Eject Gam.
blers From Parks-To
Keep Game Clean.

SAN FRANCISCO. March As
far as the Pacific Coast Baseball
League is concerned, It is COINS
aotfoot after any form of gam
bling which may raise its head dur
ing the Coming season According
to President william II. McCarty
the recent ruling of Judge Truax.
of Seattle. is the strongest weapon
that has been placed In the hands
of those who are anxious to keep
the gambling element out Of the
great national sport.
Judge Tcuax dismissed the action
for s25.o0o brought by James l.
Finnesey against the Seattle ball
club because he was elected from
the Seattle park on the charge OF
alleged gambling. The court held
that baseball came under the Same
head as theaters, in So far as own
ers have the right to refuse ad-
mittance to or eject Objectionable
characters.
Heretofore club owners have been
tiNid about ejecting persons from
their parks for fear of lawsuits
in the way OF demands for dam
ages. The ruling of Judge Truax
shows the way as far as the rights
of club owners are concerned. Every
club in the Coast circuit has shown
a desire to keep the game clean
and the news of the ruliRg has met
with general satisfaction.

Large Squad Of British In.
vaders to Compete for
u. 8. Titles.
By GORDON sHAND.

Though the opening Of the Dis
tricts competitive golf season is
still over two months distant, many
OF Washington's most rabid mashie
wielders have already started tri-
flfpg with their clubs, evidently
determined to lose mo time in in
aueurating a season which, botn
local and countrywide. bids fair
tn slrpass any other In the his
tory OF the game. n
Many of the major and minor
golf luminaries have alre y
wended their way southwark to get
into trim for the approaching cias-
sic events through the medium ..
tournaments In Florida and Pine
hurst The southern season wll;
cover a period OF approxima.. ..:y
six weeks more, the wind-up being
the north and south amateur,
at Pinehurt. which Is scheduled
for April to 8.
Just previous to this event will
be held the famous north and south
open, on March 81 and April 1.
at which time our own Freddy Nc
Leod will make the bid of fite'
time to regain the prestige whic n
he lost when one jock Hutchison
ran rampant last year and relieves
him of this title, captured by
Freddy in 1920.
With the wind-up OF the north
and south events, the entire golf
caravan will come speeding north
ward. and all indications point to
a summer season which will fur
nish more thrills than any in the
past-and there have been some
hectic ones.
Large Delegation Coming.
Reports from the other side credit
Johnny Bull with the intention OF
sending over the largest delegation
ever with the avowed purpose OF
relieving Uncle Sam Of some of his
pet trophies. The list already an
nounced far excels anything In the
