GEN. WEYGAND RETURNS
French Minister of Public Works Likewise Goes Back To Occupied Zone Today

Dusseldorf, Feb. 6. (By Associated Press)-The return to the Ruhr of General Weygand and minister of public works Le Trocquer to co-or- dinate transportation without the em- sployment of German labor finds the railway service demoralized and re- sistance generally strengthened, pre- sumably as result of the visit of Chancellor Cuno.
 Railway workers and public off cials. particularly, appear to have been stimulated to further sacrifices in behalf of the Reich by the chan. cellor's call upon the occupied area, and hence the deadlock continues. A demonstration at Dorsten yesterday occasioned by the expulsion of the burgomaster, was broken up by the protection police. Several persons were hurt.

Dragons, Fafnirs and Inde- pendents Reinstated and Old Schedule Will Be Played as Originally Made Out - Games Thursday Evenings.

The New Britain City Baseball league now is saved. The Dragons. Fafnirs and Independents, dropped g week ago for failure to play their scheduled July 4th games, have been reinstated and all is honey-pie in the ranks.
 The public amusement commis- sloners met last evening and discussed the situation thoroughly. They also were made familiar with the fact that the league, as it stood, faced disrup- tion and the organization of a new rival organization was probable. After discussing the situation the commits sioners decided that for the good of the sport, all grievances should be dropped and the barred teams be re- instated. Later the baseball council met and reenacted the actions of the commissioners.
 For time, however. it was a red hot meeting, with charges and coun- ter-charges, hone very serious, being made and denied and everything pointing to a grand blow-up of the baseball league. "Bosh" Smith, one of the leading spirits in the league, was very much in evidence and stood out firmly for what he considered his rights and the Tights of the players. After things had been explained, however, everybody seemed satisfied and peace once more reigns supreme.
 It was decided to revert to the old schedule again, with the teams play. ing games as originally booked. This means that Thursday night games will again be played, that this week being between the Berlin Construc- ton team and the Cardinals. Satur- days games will include one not scheduled between the Independents and Rangers.
 The league voted to clamp down the lid tightly on new players and after Saturday the Is day eligibility rule will not be in force and after Saturday no player who is not already on the eligibility list will be permit ted to participate in city league games.

The story about the 'rolling stone gathering no moss" does not fit the career of Jacques Fournier, who has travelled over many of the sun-kissed spots of the Pacific coast shores, has been with three clubs in the Ameri- can league, two in the National league and at present is enjoying an- other prosperous season.
 Unless Fournier Is kidding the na- tives a bit on the date of his birth. he was a professional ball player with Seattle at the age of 16. He says he was born at Ausable, Mich, Septem- Der 2S, 1892, and he was catcher with Seattle in 1908.
 His major league debut was with the Boston Red Sox in 1912. Later, he shifted to the Chicago White Sox and he was good enough to cover first base for Charles Comisky until Chic Gandil came along.
 Back to the Minors
 The purchase of Gandill caused an- other transfer in Fournier's career and he returned to the Pacific coast league.
 During the shortage of major league players during the war period, Fournier hopped back into the Am erican league, joining the New York Yankees. His term there was brief and in 1919 he was back with Los Angeles.
 When the St. Louis Cardinals were going through their reconstruction days at the hands of Branch Hickey 8 first baseman was needed. Four

GASCOS IN RUBBER
Rangers Are Defeated for Second Time in Series, Score Being to B. Want More Games.

The Rangers and Gascos played the third of their tied series last night at St. Mary's field and the Gas com pany boys won the rubber by a score of to B. Chant and Hayes worked for the losers and McCor- mick and Robinson for the winners, the twirling of Mccormick being very effective. The Gascos did all their scoring in one inning when a flock of hits, coupled with a brace of errors did the trick.
 Seifel hit three bagger and Hayes got double as feature of the Rangers attack, while two baggers by Barnes and Reg Robinson were big noises in the Gasco's offense. A dandy catch of a hit bayy back of third base made Barnes the fielding sensation of the game.
 Proud of their victory, the Gascos now feel as did the great Alexander and look for more worlds to conquer. They especially desire games with the telephone company and the firemen.

Fans DisappOinted,


 St. Louis, Mo-, July 10.-Change in Americans rumored to be contemplat- ed by Phil Ball, owner of the club, is said by local sport writers to be a reflection of the fans disappointment at the Browns failure this season. Their showing generally is believed to be due to the absence from the lineup of George Sisler, star first baseman, who it is believed will be asked to replace Manager Lee Fohl
 A year ago the Browns with vir- tually the same lineup fought hard battle with the New York club for the American league pennant. Sis- ler's absence, due to an ailment of the eyes, is generally believed to have affected the clubs morale.
 Sisler Once Refused.
 When James Burke was relieved of the Browns leadership a year and a half ago Sisler was mentioned as his probable successor but he is said to have rejected the offer for fear that the responsibility as manager would impair his playing on the field.
 MT. Balls determination to change manager is said to have been openly expressed Sunday after the game with New York. He is reported to have criticized the manner in which Fohl directed that game. especially his calling out pinch hitters. Neither Fohl nor Ball would directly deny the many rumors regarding the contem- plated change.
 Fohl declares he will not resign and admits he had not spoken to the Browns owner since the team re- turned home nearly two weeks ago. His contract expires at the end of this season.

nier was brought back into the bis circuit.
 A frisky youth, however, arrived later in Jim Bottomley and, with Fournier on his hands, Hickey ar ranged an exchange with the Brook lyn Superbas, giving Fournier for Myers.
 Always Rated Good Hitter
 Fournier became stubborn hold out in this swap and did not relent until the early part of May. Before he joined the Dodgers they were eighth placers. While Fournier did not do all of the heavy work, never- theless the Superbas did not start their climb until he appeared in the game and, although he did not get the benefit of the usual spring train ing trip, he has been batting around $50 all season.
 If Fournier's career continues to run as it has he will wear out his welcome in Brooklyn in a couple of years and move on to steady another weak club. He says he is far from through and ought to be able to stick around in the big show for at least five years more,
 While never a fielder of the George Sisler type, Fournier has always had the reputation of a good hitter. So in times of stress, when a club need ed batting strength, it always turned to Fournier if he happened to be so- journing in the minors, proving the punch is really the big asset in baseball.

CITY BASEBALL LEAGUE IS
 REORCANIZED WITH FORMER
 TEAMS IN GOOD STANDING
LEONARD EASILY WINS ON
 POINTS IN EIGHT ROUNDS
Five of Eight Rounds to Champ; Two Even; Joe Lynch Outpoints
 Bobby Wolgast.

Philadelphia, July 10.--As a pre- liminary' workout for his coming bout with Lew Tender, Benny Leon- ard, lightweight champion. last night easily outpointed Alex Hart in an eight-rounder at Phillies Park.
 More than 30,0oo persons saw Leonard assert unquestionable super iority over the protege of Johnny Kilbane. It was the largest assort- ment of fans that ever witnessed an open air fight in this city.
 Five of the eight rounds were won by Leonard by wide margins. Two rounds were even, and Hart was en- titled to the laurels in only the seventh, when the champion appar- ently rested to make a strong tin- ish.
 Leonard showed old-time boxing skill and impressed as being near top form to defend his title against the slugging Tender in New York, July 23.
 Joe Lynch, bantam champion, dis playing superior ring generalship and cleaner punches outpointed Bobby Wolgast, Philadelphfa's sensational bantamweight, by a slight margin in the first half of the double dindup. Wolgast started off like winner, but went bad in the latter rounds when the champion peppered him with stinging blows.
 In the opening bout Ritchie Mitch ell, 139, of Milwaukee. easily beat Georgie Russell of this city, also 139 pounds, in eight rounds. Russell sub- stituted for Joe Tirplitz, who reported too i'll to put on his gloves. Although Mitchell hit Russell with everything in his bag of seeking tricks, he was unable to drop the local boy.

CORBIN SIGNS PITCHER
Manager Tobin Has Practically Con- CIuded Negotiations For New South- paw, Said to Be Good One.

Manager Tobin of the Corbin Red sox announced today that he has practically completed negotiations for the services of a new southpaw, to strengthen his pitching department and it is probable that the new man will be in a uniform Sunday when the team goes to Middletown to play the Noisless Typos.
 In last weeks game Eddie Hine, the star southpaw of the Red Sox, pitched tough game and worked unusually hard. In. one of the final innings he overexerted himself in putting every thing he had into the delivery, with the result that it is feared that his arm is so badly strained that he may have to lay off a few weeks.
