ARRIVES FOR
BASKETBALL
Coach Burns Confident of
Game Tomorrow
Night


The versatile youth who was
such a drawing card with St.
Johnsbury fans last year pulled a
big surprise on the management OF
the Company d team this noon
when he unassumingly walked into
their presence. The chairman of
the Company d club has been at
tempting to locate him for the past
month but was unsuccessful until
last week and then with apparently
no result.
His arrival will put new enthuS-
iasm into the team and be one
more threat to competitors of the
title this season.
The Company d basketball
team got under way with their
first scrimmago of the season, on
the reconstructed court at the
Almory last evening. Coach Burns
put them through Il seies of sig
mails, plays and formation in antlcl
patton of the game Thursday
night with Windsor.
Opposing the Company d team
were coach HOLSTERS leather
tossers from the academy, and
from the way the Youngsters got
into the game and handled the big
sphere. St. JohnSbuly will be
heard from by more than one team
this wear. These lad while greatly
outweighed and out classed by
their speedy opponents showed
real fight and knowledge Of the
game.
Curlev Burns at center shows
himself to be a player Of remark
able ability While handling his
team with good common sense.
Fiske at forward emphazied more
forcibly than ever the reason for
his popular appellative Of Lucky
and "Puss" Connor in just the
same slippery customer as last
year. The two guards "Abbic'
Goslant and the only and original
Dumas showed an air tight de
fence, a. did Foye who took his
turn.
Coach Burns said last night that
he was confident that Windsor
would be defeated here but the
locals would have to play ball
every minute of the time. For with
team piloted by the willy old war
rior Lew" Wachter, the game is
never won until it Is over.

STRIKE ON RAILROADS
MAY De CONSIDERED
VIRTUALLY SETTLED.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1929


|, WASHINGTON, July 28.-The ba-
sis for settlement Of the railroad
strike now has been arranged.
Fully a week will be required for
the actual operation Of the plan
which requires on the one hand rati-
fication by meeting. of the 148 rail-
road executives in New York next
Tuesday and further conferences on
the other side between President
Harding and the railroad workmen.
Negotiations will be carried on by
regions. This will take more time
than if the procedure had been
agreed upon through a national adj
justment board but the representa-.
tives of the strikers have not in
sisted upon that process and are
willing to take advantage of the ma
chinery set up by the transportation
act for regional adjustments.
This attitude on the part Of the
spokesman of the strikers reflects
substantial progress, as it means
that one issue which threatened to
produce deadlock is swept aside.
AS for the seniority rights, the ex-
act formula for handling the prob
lem depends largely upon the recep-
ton which will be given at next
Tuesdays meeting to series of sug-
gestions conveyed by President Har-
ding in person to T. Dewitt Cuy1er,
chairman of the Association of Rail-
way Executives.
Broadly the situation is decidedly
hopeful. In fact, barring any I'M
foreseen delays, the strike on the
railroads can be considered as vir-
tually settled now. It's ending might
have come last night but for the de-
cision that it might be wiser to call
all the 148 railroad executives to.
gether so that their action might con-
stitute an assurance to the railroad
workmen of uniformity of treat,
ment.

| Believed to be the first person ever

this country, Atticus Hoppe, mod
ern Darius Green, today faced a
sentence Of one year in the reniteu-

Atticus is Langley field soldier.
He had been on duty in and around
airplanes and dirigibles for so long
| that he became a victim Of his en-
vironment. It occurred to him one
evening that he would like to take
a little trip to North Carolina, where
all the mountain dew IS not on the
| mountains. What more natural than
a joy-ride in plane? Atticus did
| not know much about a plane, but
| running one looked easy. They all
safely down again.
Looking about for likely bus,
Atticus found all the army aircraft
pretty well secured. So he looked
over the rest of the field. He visit
ed the hangar Of the Aero club, but
that was not inviting. Next ne came
to the Curtis Flying school hangar.
There he found two-seater which
seemed to be rearing to go. It NEED
ed two men for comfort. James
Brown, another soldier, happened by.
Hoppe told him of his plans and
Brown fell in with them. Both
agreed that North Carolina would
| look fine along toward the cool Of

It was midnight of May 10 when
they wheeled the plane out of the
! hangar and hopefully chit the air."

into the ditch with broken arm,

drive the flivver down the road

Hopes arm was set. Then they
walked into Camp Abraham Eustes
