OWNERS GET LAUGH
Stoneham's Denial That Giants Own Toledo Club, Only Brings Forth Loud "Razz."

Toledo, O.. March 5.-The denial of Charles A. Stoneham, president of the New York club, that the Giants are not interested in the Toledo Baseball club is laughed at here, as MT. Stone ham also denied that the New York club owned Swayne Field, the Toledo ball club park, some time ago, when it was reliably reported that they did. When Noah Swayne, owner of the park. died and the affairs of his es- tate were probated in the local Pro- bate Court, month ago. the legal papers showed that the Giants posi- lively owned the ball park. All the fans here also believe that McGraw does own or has an interest in all or part of the Toledo club. Joe Mast, one of the owners of the Toledo ball club, says he IS positive McGraw is finan- cially interested, but that it may be possible that MT. Stoneham is ignor- ant of the fact.

Schaefer took the balls at the head of the table and kept them there until he had made 800. He had a perfect line position when he quit. told him to take rest, that he had done enough.

'RED' TYNDELL AGAIN.
 TURNS THE TRICK
Brilliant Forward Sinks Foul Goal
 That Defeats West Sides

For the third time in as many weeks. the New Britain basketball team figured in an exciting battle that was decided in the last few sec onds of play, and on foul shots. TWO Of these games have resulted Tn VIC tories for Manager Lanpher's poys' On Saturday night at the state ar mory, the West Sides of Hartford succumbed, 37 to S6. It would nave been a bad place for anyone With heart trouble. In the closing seconds of play. With the score deadlocKed' at S6 points, a foul was called on the New Britain team. At this 1unc- ture time was called by the Hartford team while the West Siders gathered around Tim Corbin for consnita- tion. When the referees whistle sounded Tim stepped to the foul line His eye is usually accurate, but ms toss went of the mark, while the New Britain crowd rocked the build ing with cheers. Quickly the ball was sent flying by Ginsberg toward the opposite end of the hall. A Ne" Britain player grasped it securely and set himself for shot, but Hap, Harmon in his eagerness to prevent the deciding goal grabbed the play CT and held on for dear life. Chick Hayes detected the foul and then and there New Britain got its golden chance for a victory. The brilliant Tyndell stepped to the 15-foot line. The first peg he made dropped neatly into the basket and victory was gained just as the whistle sounded for the end of the battle.
 Tyndell was at his best Saturesy night, accounting for 21 points for the New Britain team. Several Of his field goals in the first half were scored on spectacular plays
 Pelletier Also Very Good.
 Sharing with Tyndell in the hard earned honors, was Jack Pelletier. In the first half Jack kept pretty close tabs on Dodge but in the sec- ond half, the former Dartmouth star, took d hand in the scoring part or the program. netting four double counters, and they were all beauties. Captain Restella and Sheehan did good work and Harry Ginsberg who entered the fray in the second half was also helpful to the home team by his defensive play.
 Visitors Start Away Fast.
 The visitors started out at fast | clip, and for a time is looked as though the home team was to be showed under. However, the New Britain scoring machine, led by Tyn- dell, got into working order, and at the half time the Lanpher Ellison l representatives were in the lead, IS to Is. For Hartford, Cronin, Dwyer and Leonard were the stars. About all that Dodge and Harmon did was t. fill uniforms. The lineup:

"why did not the curse Of Pharoahl
thunder down upon the LondoI
quacks who used to administer frag
ments of mummies as medicine if il
caused the death Of Lord CarnavaroI
who, so far as We know, didn't ever
touch q mummy"
The attitude of science toward the
cries of supernatural influence in the
demise of the Psychologist thus is ex.
pressed by DR.. i. NJ. Casanowicz, in
charge of old world archaeology, ma.
tional museum, Smithsonian Insti
tute.
Other distinguished experts of the
institute join him in contending that
an infected insect bit brought about
pneumonia and ultimately the death
of the excavator.
Poison Theory Absurd.
"The bite of no Egyptian insect, so
far as / know is venomous enough in
itself to cause DEATH" stated DIR. j.
NJ. Aldrich, entomologist, "and the
idea that poisonous bugs have pro-
pagated themselves for thirty-three
my, is ludicrous."
ain our opinion, the ancients knew
naught about poison that we don't
know" says Edward v. Shannon, rec.
ognized expert on the subject, "and
we know that no organic poison, such
as the venomen of the cobra, would
be active so long a time. And as for
inorganic poisons, such as cyanide of
potassium. granted that he thrust his
hand against a shaft saturated in it.
he would not get enough to kill. Had
there been an injection of sufficient
quantity to cause death, he would
not have fingered SO long; he would
have died quickly and violently"
All admitted that Carnavaron may
have been poisoned by an Egyptian
who hoped to stimulate revolution by
the superstitious natives.
"But that's out of our line," they
declare, smiling. "You're departing
from science now, and are in the hec-
tic field of romance"
What OF Their Curses?
That the Pharaohs. including Tut
Ankh Amen, did visit a so-called
curse upon anyone who tempered
with his grave. is considered likely by
DR.. Casanowicz. But who paid any
heed to it? Prominent families of
ancient Egypt built elaborate tombs.

there. When the last of family was

German Publicist Wants
Cure for After-war In
toxication in Europe.
LOAN COULD BE MADE
Thinks France Then Would
Accept If Rhine Forts
Were Destroyed.
By MAMMALIAN HARDEN.

copyright. by The San. Antonio Light
Berlin, April 7.-Why. cannot w
stop the after-war intoxication of al
peoples?
| During the war German chemists
succeeded in producing nitroglycerint
from sugar fats. To do so cost
thousands of lives because of with.
holding of food. Alcohol was practi.
| cally cut off. The people also learned
\ to do without soap. All sacrifices
were made in the name of patriot
ism.
Today all would be better off il
we could learn to do without. Why
not an international form of prohibi-
ton that would prohibit, not alcohol,
but intoxicating phrases? As the
chemists extracted the various factors
needed to make explosives during the
war, cannot get them to extract the
the words and phrases which cause in
toxication right now?
Sound Advice From Hughes.
Europe needs some such chemistry.
We want some form of political soap
which will clear the brains of the
people so that they can clearly real
ize what is going on. Hughes three
months ago gave the people some
sound advice. He suggested an in
ternational commission which would
determine what Germany could pay.
If German people had accepted this
solution our troubles would be over
now. We would know what we
should pay and We would be trying
to pay it.
A loan would have been possible
which would have paid off our obliga-
ton. 1t would have been guaranteed
by the German people. Even the
school children would have taken their
share in guaranteeing it. Germany's
factories today are free from debt,
thanks to the fall of the mark. They
are worth at least one hundred bill
lions gold in marks. They likewise
would have secured any loan.
But today no banker would give
money because he is not sure that
Europe will not confiscate it. Europe
is intoxicated with words of hatred.
The German government however. has
tried to explain what it is ready to
do. But its explanations are not
| acceptable. This is because there is
an unwarranted belief in certain
quarters that there is an understand
ing between Germany, America and
certain parties in England. This is
untrue, but it hampers any under
standing.
France Ought To Accept.
Yet should the Rhine be denuded of
its Notifications and then Germany
| agree to any steps which would make
for common understanding that
would be agreeable, it would seem
that France ought to be willing to
| accept.
This would do away with the armies
! of occupation which are simply absorb
ing money that should avail for
reparations.
France ought to agree to the
Hughes plan. If it does everyone
else will. Bat if she is misled by
the rawlings of the monarchists. the
condition will revert back to what il
was in 1918 and eventually she will
be robbed of the fruits of victory.
Before the Essen outrages Germans
were fully determined to resist all
aggression. Today German workmen
are a unit along this line. France
should accept this. Until she does
the situation must remain unchanged
