loyal rooters. After Ray Catlin had
committed his fourth foul and was
automatically out OF the fray He'd

self out Of his misery, showing one
Of the officials.
In contrast to this incident, Cap
tain McNaney, Of the Aloysians,
made a personal plea to the referee
to permit his rival, Capt. T. A..
Ford, of the Yanks. to remain In
the game after he had committed
four fouls.
From a basketball standpoint the
game was hot so far as the Irish
courtmen were concerned. Their
fighting speed. spectacular shoot
ing, bristling teamwork, and gen.
eral all around play gave them a
ten.point bulge throughout the
greater part OF the play.
The Yanks led at only one stage
OF play and this was after thirty
! seconds Of play when Ray Catlin
swished the cords for a two-pointer.

LONDON. October 6.-Ambassador
Harvey's prospective departure from
the Court of St. James. which was
officially made known here yesterday,
did not come as q surprise in Lon
don, and the announcement was re-
ceived with very defined mixture Of
pleasure and regret.
To those Americans here and Eng
lishmen who expect conventionalities
/ In the representative to the Court
of st. James. and who could not see
any future for a man OF high position
who wore 4 silk hat while riding in
an open Ford. 1t is a pleasure. But
to those who disregard frills and have
an admiration for directness of pur-
pose there Is regret at his leaving.
Ambassador Harvey has missed
having his name definitely attached in
the forefront with any diplomatic
achievement. but he only just missed
1t. In 1921 he had much to do,
through his reports to Washington
on the impe rial conference tangle
Harding calling the Washington con-
ference months before 1t was intended,
but the credit went to Washington.
Then, in the Anglo-American debt
settlement negotiations he did a con-
siderable share OF work here and
at Washington and then back here
again. but the settlement plan. for
better or for worse, will be attri-
buted to Premier Baldwin.
Col. Harvey had expected to have
a big hand in settling the twelve
mile limit squabblc. but as it has
lcen turned over to the imperial con-
ference little more can be done by
the embassy.
London officia1dom did not expect
him to return this time, that idea
Icing based on criticism at home over
several Of his utterances.
Charles 3. Warren received pref
erence in the press as Ambassador
Harvey's successor.
