SECRETARY CLARKE
HIGHLY Commended
FOR PUBLICITY WORK

The news publicity work of for
mer Secretary George G. Clarke was
given highest praise recently by
Charles O. Black, general manager
of the Fawtucket Times. Secretary
Clarke was asked to prepare a spe-
cial story on Suburban Day, re-
tail sales event scheduled for Thurs
day, May 18th, by the Retail Division
of the Pawtucket Chamber of Com
merce. This article came to the at
tention of the general manager and
was considered of such exceptional
merit that he personally compli-
mentcd Mr.. Clarke upon his style,
knowledge of retail conditions, and
ability as writer. In fact he went
further and gave instructions that
hereafter Mr.. Clarke be given an OPP
portunity, whenever anything relat-
ing to retail business is needed, to
prepare his own news stories on
such matters.
Mr.. Clarke in writing to the City
Editor of the X j. concerning this
and other matters says in part, II
have been very much impressed with
the possibilities of Pawtucket as a
field for Chamber OF Commerce
work. This organization has been
on the job for three years but the
surface has hardly been scratched.
The opportunities are apparently
lmitlcss. The city presents an UNI
usual condition of affairs. 1t has
grown industrally by leaps and
bounds but its civic program still
lags at quite distance behind its
industrial growth. The growth in
population is estimated at 26ro
every decade. AS far as my short
study of the city shows the presence
Of the great metropolis Of Providence
is somewhat of a deterrent to real
community growth but condition
that can readily be overcome by
proper leadership and carefully
planned campaign Of propaganda |
am very much pleased with the
type of loyal citizens and the splen-
did mon who make up the Chamber
Of Commerce.
Il find that Maine holds a very
warm place in the hearts of Paw
tucket people; in fact many of them
have been in to ask me about spring
fishing al d summer camps and va
cation spots and roads and many
other things. Everyone has good
word for my native state, all of
which is very gratifying TO me-

High-Priced Lawyers
Hard Up in England

London, May 2 CA. p. by MaiD-
The high cost Of litigation in England
continues to spell hard times for law
yers. People prefer to settle their
disputes out Of court before they find
themselves up to the neck in costs.
cr submit their dispute to arbitration,
and the lawyers get no sympathy in
their financial troubles from the gem
elal public.
Once in court. however. in the in
terests of a client barrister has
chance to recoup. Custom prescribes
that he must be paid in advance. He
gets a cash payment for his first APP
pcarance. a stipulated sum for every
additional appearance. and there is no
limit on what he may charge.

AS A PINCH BATSMAN

Jack Bentley of the Giants not
alone made a good record as a pitcher
in his first year in the majors, and
shone as regular hitter in the
games in which he played, but he
gained the distinction of being the
best pinch hitter in the National Lea
que, according to the official aver
ages
Bentley was called on to take the
place of some weak-hitting pitcher or
pushed in to swing where it was
thought that his left-handed style
would puzzle an opposing boxman
twenty-one times during the season.
He drew one base on balls and hit
safely in ten of the other occasions
for the really wonderful average of
500.
AS a pinch hitter, Bentley batted in
six runs. One other man beat this
figure, Rube Bressler of the Cincin-
natl Reds. who sent seven runners
over the plate.
Some pretty good players can't
seem to make good as pinch hitters.
For instance. there is Jimmy O'Con-
nell of the Giants. He went to bat
as a pinch hitter in thirteen games,
but didn't make single hit. Bill
Bagwell a good hitter in the regular
run of games, was used in emer-
gencies thirty-two times and made
only three hits. Bernie Neis of
Brooklyn Is another who can't seem
to get 'em when he needs them. He
made one hit in nine times at bat
as a pinch batSman.

A. A. u. IS AROUSED
BY RITOLA'S ACTION

NEW YORK. December 29.-The ac-
ton of Willie Ritola in returning TO
his native Finland to compete under
its flag in the Olympic games against
the United States may bring about
changes in future competition Or
alien athletes in this country, and.
perhaps, in the world.
The fact that Ritola has developed
his great long distance running abil-
ltE through competition in this coun-
try has caused Frederick W. Ruben
secretary of the Amateur Athletic
Union. TO suggest amendments to in
ternational athletic laws which prob
ably will be introduced at the inter
national athletes congress. in con
junction with the Olympic games, in
Paris, next year.
To prevent recurrence of the Ri
tola incident" it has been suggested
that aliens be barred from registered
competition until they have taken out
first citizenship papers and that il
they fail to take out second papers
when eligible that their licenses be
withdrawn and registered athletes
be restrained from competing with
them.
Ritola is expected To have no diff
Guilty in re- -csta blishing sufficient Fin
nish status to represent that country
in the Olympics, Notwithstanding thar
he has taken out first citizenship
papers in this country and has been
absent from the country Of his birth
for ten years From Finnish source
II was learned that to forfeit his Fin
nish status he would have to make
formal application to that govern
ment. For two years the Finn has
held the national ten-mile and cross
country titles. and now stands as the
three and four mile indoor champion.
He expects to sail for Finland Janu7
airy 4. to condition himself for the
Olympic games.
