MrS- James NILS, CnOlr singer, who was murdered with Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall of New Brunswick, N. J., asked a. spirit uaIists these three questions:
 will the minister get a divorce, will he go to a foreign country; will I go with him ?''
 Fate answered. He got a di- vorce, he went on a long journey, and she went with him. Where is that country?
 
 Upton Sinclair, who writes books, chides Hartford for that it boasts of being the wealthiest city of it's size. Why not? Hart ford has achieved wealth. Does not the farmer boast that he has raised the largest hog, and the snowman that he has the heaviest fat woman Spiritual development is a slow growth. Too much must not be expected of a, com nnunity that gets much of it's up- lift from the Hartford Courant.
 National elections, and. indeed, most elections. tend to represent broad currents of custom, opin- ion, and, sometimes. of change. 3e- oI, tifically. Senator Mclean voted for the bonus. Senatorial candi- date Spellacy is for the bonus. Congressman Merritt voted against the bonus. Candidate Mo Nell Is for the bonus. If the bonus changes many votes candi- date McNeil should run markedly ahead of his ticket. Candidate Merritt should run behind Nc Lean in the Fourth District. See what happens. Usually the vot- CTS do not stop to discriminate between candidates. but vote the ticket straight, scratches tending to neutralize each other.
 
 Right Hon. Reginald McKenna, addressing the Bankers Conven- ton, says of world debt that nothing must be expected uIti- mately except what can be paid by exporting of goods.'' What a commentary on current notions of economics that it could be supposed world trade could, or should, exist on anything except ing interchange of goods. It could mt possibly consist of anything else. There are still those who think trade consists in inter- changing gold for goods. America the goods and other countries the gold. Plain nonsense, of course.
 
 Tariffs have their place. They can check unprofitabIe inter- changes, based merely on greed of competition. They can be made a source of revenue for support of government. There are other functions of tariffs But international trade remains mere interchange of goods on a substantially even basis 4 coun- try which sends out more goods than 1t gets is a debtor country. One which sends out fewer than 1t takes in Is usually a creditor country.
 Conquered countries come un- der a different head. Germany sends out goods, for which none !. are received in return. just as Carthage did, when 1t was footed by the Romans. The form of the trfb ute is different, but the prin- ctple is sthe same. The conquer ed has to deliver his goods at the demand of the conqueror sULG GARIA TO REMAIN NEUTRAL

practice he had located my hit ting fault, ordered me a special kind of bat and gave me a new stance at the plate. Well, 1 obeyed him. and I started off from the jump as a N.300 hitter in the Southern league and never once Jagged, being well over that mark at the seasons end. Before that l was hopeless. But old Moley took me in tow, and made a hit ter and catcher out of me. and l will never forget it as long as live.
 "I was chopping. Moley had me cut that out. I was using the wrong kind of bat. He suggested new one-a Jackson model-and it proved much better. He taught me to keep my eye on the ball instead of trying to kin it. He had bat boys throwing to me of a morning, and every day showed improvement. Yep, brother, have no doubt that I would still be kicking around in the minors if it hadn't been for Moley."
 Came Here Free Agent
 It was just before spring prac- tice began in 1919 that Peters joined tbe Barons. He was a free agent-had been kicked around from pillar to post in baseball and had been told by more than one manager that he was hope less. Pete wrote Moley letter, however, and the Baron boss told him to come on down so he could get the once over.
 Believe me-" admitted Pete, "I was on my uppers that spring. I had no job and l knew I was bucking stiff competition in go- ing against Homer Haworth. who was first string catcher. also knew that only seven Class A men could remain on the ball club. and l was rated as a Cfass A man. having played with Chat tanoga- However, guess in truth I was about a Class x catcher before Carlton took charge of me-
 wei1, brother, I wasn't any too cheerful as I started work here. AS a matter of fact, while I was plugging along and trying to show Moley the best l had in me, l felt that I was going to get the can and I had already written Billy Smith at Shreve- port and one or two other man agers in reference to a job. Say l was down-and -out financially Didn't even have railroad fare away from Birmingham.

 That seemed to make hit with the boss. I've been looking you over this spring and you've hustled said Moley, and if you're willing to take lessons from me. I'm going to keep you as first string catcher. Ye gods! You could have knocked mo down with a feather.
 From that very minute on I started minding Moley and obey ing his orders just as if he'd been my father And I got a job in the big leagues by doing that very little thing. He taught mo to hit in a little while. The very first day the season opened I damned out three safeties. One of em was two-bagger.

Both of These Boxers Are Ex- ponentS of Left-Hand Punches, as Recent Bouts Show
By MARVIN McARrHr

Young Stribling of Macon, Ga. and Battling Kelly of Birmingham will meet in lo round boxing bout at the local Athletic club a week from next Monday night. or on March IS. it was announced yesJeraay. This match has been talked of quite bit, and announcement that it has finally been closed should afford the railbirds something to talk about dur ing the next week or so.
 The old saying. When Greek u,eees Creek" will probably hold good iu this case for the Kelly Stribiing match will most likely be q battle of left hand punches. Kelly Is a notorious wielder of left mitten, and has become famous in local boxing circles as the possessor of q tricky "cork screw" left handed swipe, which gets under and through his op- ponent's guard quite successfully. Young Striblng made a ohopping Orleans. in B recent bout here by using a straight left jab or hook, rarely failing to land this punch

A C. The boxer usually keeps away from the sluEger and the battler is powerfiess to make the affair a fight, for he can't reach the shifty boxer
 A pair of sluggers usually stage a toe to toe pitched battle until one of the two drops from exhaustion and punch shock. Two boxers usual ly put up an exhibition of scientific scrapping. featured by all the latest styles of punching and blocking. Kelly and Strfbling are doped to stage the latter kind of fight. How the fight will take" just depends on what the fans want, but a good box ing match, when staged by two ex- perts. is sometimes might inter . esting affair.

SLOSS : SHEFFIELD AND NDPANTHERFIvE WIN THEIR GAMES
Howard Reserves Fail to Show Up, and ''Y" Wins
 on Forfeiture

Birmingham Southern Reserves walloped woodlawn, 22 to 5, and Sloss- Sheffield licked Avondale Mills, 20 to 9, both games resulting in last nights city league games, about as expected. The Y NJ. c. A. Red Birds won their con { on a forfeit from Howard Reserves, the latter failing to put in an appearance.
 Woodlawn put up a hard struggle in the first half, holding the Panther Cubs to a 9 to count, but slipping near the close and allowing the col legians to ring up big lead. Wood lawn should have had more points, several shots barely trimming the rings Calwell Engfebert and Churchill, as usual played stellar games for the winners, while Nit chell Burns was the whole show for the losers; Campbell also did well. Lineup:
 Birmingham Southern (22)-Eng- lebert (S) and Churchill G2), for wards; Webb (2). center; Caldwell and Levie, guards.
 Woodlawn (5)-B. Burns and Oben- chain, forwards; Clapp, center, M. Burns (5) and Campbell, guards.
 Substitutions-Moore for oben- chain.
 Sloss won a rather easy victory over Millers of Avondale, though the latter came back strong in the final frame, turning an so first half score into final 22 to 9 count. The game was slow up to the final period, when it delevoped quite a lot of speed. Whatley's seven field goals made him high man for the night while Wald ron and Montgomery also put up great games. Campbell, center, and the two guards, starred for the un- lucky Millers. Lineup:
 Sloss 20)-Montgomery CD and Hanby, forwards; Dandridge. center; Whatley G4 and Waldron (D guards.
 Avondale (s)-whiteside CD and Howell CD, forwards; Campbell (3), center; Heinbaugh and Afford CD, guards.
