.SHUBERT WINS BUT
 ONLY GETS A DRAW
At Least That Is Opinion of Most
 Spectators

Why fight referees take certain views of things is one of the myster- ies O. the ages. Take last night s fight at Foot Guard hall between Harry Brown of Philadelphia and Al Shubert of New Bedford for instance. Referee Billy Calvin, after having had to warn Brown repeatedly for stalling, suddenly held up both the boxers hands at the end of the lath round and announced it draw. 4 Ina jorty of the fans had concede q Shubert the fight by big margin and the verdict was such a surprise that there was not even the 5ppstomary booing that follows such afecision
 As the star bout of Intervening s card the fight left much to be desired, hut it was not Shubert's fault. The stalwart little New Bedford vet did all of the leading. kept rushing at his opponent and give him everything he could. Brown, on the other hand. re- fused to mix it up. was decidedly op- posed to infighting and most of the 12 rounds resembled a wrestling match, with Brown using all sorts of holds to keep the New Bedford boy from showing any action. For Brown it must be said that he was able to tic Shubert up most effectively and by so doing he prevented him from showing his usual fiashy infighting form. But Shubert did the best he could and that he did not do more was because Brown held him.
 That'c pnr,no-l, tbic h,pt npnopt to repeat that it looked like Shubert's s by mile.
 The prcliminaries showed more ac- ton than the star bout. especially when Frankie Day of New Haven mixed it with Kid Vincent of Holyoke. Day opened the fight with a dazzling assault of lefts and rights that had the Holyoke lad baffled,- but judicious use of wonderful left jab soon brought Day back to earth and from then on Vincent bothered the New Havener with this jab. crossing fre- quently with q wicked right. Day also put over many good. solid wallops and his own left was working well. It was the eight round, which Vincent took in brilliant fashion, battering Day to the ropes, that won the fight for him.
 Frankie O'Brien and Al Fcsta, two South Side Hartford boys, mingled again and for a second time O'Brien won the decision. Neither boy was badly hurt Fcsta showed mp much better than in his previous battle.
 Joe Flynn. athe hard hitting Hart ford preliminary fghtcr.. put another notch in his record stick when he won on technical knockout from Chick" Dorsey in the third round. He had Chick about the ring and the latter was helpless when the referee said enough"

'SIzE MAKES LITTLE
 DIFFERENCE TODAY
Husky Fellows Have No Better
 Chance Than Smaller Ones
fEy Billy EyanS)

Size plays little or no part in the success of a ma jority of the major league players.
 Once upon time, the athlete small of stature worked under serious handicap as far as the big show was concerned.
 This was particularly true of pitch CTS. The six footer who weighed be- tween 175 and 200 pounds was be- lieved to have the ideal physique.
 The impression prevailed that the mite pitcher couldn't stand the strain of the majors. Every now and then some 1:o poander or less would make good. but he was always regarded as the exception.
 It's different now. The athlete who shows real ability is given every op- portunity to make good, regardless of his size.
 In making a comparison of the good big pitcher and the good little pitcher. the edge of course goes to the husky individual. He is able to stand more work. That is the margin Of difference.
 High class pitching is now so scarce that manager is content to nurse along the capable pitcher who is able 10 deliver consistently, provided he gets tho proper rest in between starts.
 There is the case of Pitcher Herb Pennpek Of the New York Yankees. Tall, but very slight of stature. Pen nook doesn't look the part of the athlete able to stand the strain Of big league pitching.
 Yet pennock, who pitches inteli- gently, wastes no energy, is one of the most effective twirlers in the American league, if not orcrworked.
 
 Ray Schalk for all time exploded thu theory that catcher to work regularly in the majors must bc n husky athlete in order to absorb the many shocks that arc a part of the job.
 When Chicago secured Schalk, his size immediately drew adverse com ment. He might do as first substitute, to be used only in emergencies, but never as the regular catcher.
 Tho very thought that he might be asked 10 catch the deceptive spitball hurled by the famous Ed Walsh, drew little more than a smile from fandom and experts.
 schalk sprang the first surprise when he handled Walsh's delivery with the greatest Of ease. When given the job of regular, he proved a giutton for work. dispelling for all time the belief that size was necessary for q 
 Since coming to the American l league. Schalk has been tho hardes, backstop in tho organiza- 1 tion. For ten consecutive years he ' has caught loo or more games.
 The athlete with ability, who is slight of ntaturc. need have no worry i that it VIII handicap his chance 10 win a big league berth.

DARTMOUTH STAR TO OPPOSE EACH
 OTHER AT THE STATE ARMORY HERE
Peletier is Former Green Captain While Malcolm Also Played On Hanover Varsity Five-May Toss Coin For Atlas Game.

Saturday night will. in a manner of speaking, be Dartmouth night at the state armory when the Hartford Kaceys again mix it up with All-New Britain. for two stars of opposing teams are graduates Of the Hanover institution where according to Chuck SmedIey, official scorer of the Bessc- Leland championship baseball team, the ''watchword is service"
 Captain Pelletier of the All-New Britain five is Dartmouth grad and explained the varsity quintet during his senior year. Malcolm, the fashy Kacey forward. is another Dartmouth man and while at the college was a regular member of the varsity five Malcolm. slight Of build and not im- pressive to look upon as an athlete, is just the opposite as soon as tho whis- tie blows He's a bundle of speed, dominated by uncanny arms and an unerring eye. Malcolm easily is one of the top notchcrs in eastern profess sional basketball today. And pairing off against young Mert Taylor of New Britain, who also ranks second to but few in this neck of tho woods, Nal colm should provide the fans with something good to watch in the line of shooting, lodging. dribbling, etc.
 On Friday night New Britain goes 10 AIiddletown where the lineup prob ably will be Kilduff and Taylor, for wards; Restelli, center, and Pellctier and Larson, guards. There is a strong possibility that a new figure will be seen in center Saturday night, rcplac- ing Wojak who will have gone to Baltimore to try out with the Inter national leaguers.
 The Dixies have still another game to be played here and the boys who on Monday night trounced the Hart ford Y. NJ. II. A. in a wonderful game will be at the armory on March 22.
 The Atlas Game
 From a business standpoint the To- cal management has determined that a game with the Atlas. to be played in Hartford, would not be the best at traction and accordingly has entered into negotiations with tho New Haven stars for a game 10 be played either here or in Now Haven.
 The local management realizing that New Haven would hold out for . home game Just as much as would New Britain, has offered to leave it all 10 the little god of chance and has suggested that the toss of q coin de- iorminc whether proposed game would be played at the aromry here or in Music hall in New Haven. A proposal of a split. Go-I0 net, winners on the big end, is Included in tho pro- posals. In case these terms are not satisfactory it is hardly likely that the two outfits will clash again this sea son.

Pine LUMBER TRADE
FOR 1923 ANALYZED
distribution OF Southern Output
Aggregating 2,132,4 2,429, 900 Feet
Reviewed by Association Officer.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, May 31.-An anal
ysis of survey of distribution in
lumber and timber aggregating 2,132,-
429,000 feet, to forty-two states and
Canada, by 1O2 mills in Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas. Mississippi. Ala
bama and FLORIDA. was made public
by Secretary Ianager Fl. c. Borckes
of the Southern Pine Association.
Although the quantity upon which
the 1928 survey was based represents
only about 20 per cent of the total
distribution that year, the figures are
regarded as indicating, with approx
mate accuracy, the percentage or the
total output of southern pine that was
taken by the retail. wholesale, rail-
road and industrial trade in the vari-
Gus states. and the approximate per-
centage of consumption of pine by
each of the states. excepting. probably,
those on the south Atlantic seaboard.
Texas Leads Retail Distribution.
Texas held its lead in retail distri-
did Illinois in the wholesale field,
while Michigan took the lead in in
dustrial consumption from Texas,
which ranked first in 1922.
In the retail field tWenty-SlX states
took a larger percentage of the. total
distribution in 1928 than in 1922, while
sixteen states showed Il smaller 1928
consumption. Despite the larger
number of increases, retail diStribu-
tion as whole. in it's relation to total
distribution. decreased from 1922. In
the wholesale field fifteen states reg
istered increases over 1922, while
twenty-Seven showed declines. The
most pronounced gain in wholesale
shipments was to Texas, which in
creased from So per cent of total dis
tribution to wholesalers in 1922 to
9.3 per cent in 1928. Notable gains in
wholesale takings also were recorded
in Alabama, Kentucky. Louisiana and
Mississippi.
Increases in Thirteen States.
Thirteen states showed increases in
industrial distribution in 1928, willie
twenty-three reflected declines. The
outstanding gain was in Michigan.
which took 1877 per cent. as compared
to only As per cent in 1922. Other no.
table gains in this class were record
ed in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri.
In the railroad field the gains and
decreases were about evenly divided.
nineteen states showing increases
over 1922 and twenty states showing
decreases.
In total distribution the survey
showed that twenty-five states in
1928 increased over 1922, while twenty
states and Canada recorded decreases.

LONDON, May 31.-Col. T., NJ
House, confidant of Woodrow Will
son, is spending the week end at
Chequers Court, the country resi-
dence of Prime Minister MacDon-
aid, and there is speculation as to
whether his presence concerns the
Irish boundary question.
A conference today at Chequers
Court between Premier Macdonald
and the heads of the two Irish
governments, Sir James Craig and
William L. Cosgrave, is under
stood to be in the nature of an in
formal talk designed to prepare
the way for friendly solution of
the boundary trouble by discus
sion among the IriShmen without
participation by the British gov
ernment.
The government hopes to bring
about an all-IriSh conference which
mutual good will and which would
not be concerned with article II of
the Anglo-IriSh treaty, providing
for commission to delimit the
boundary The treaty would mean
while remain in the background,
but it is suggested that a boun-
Diary commission might eventually
be formed merely to ratify the
friendly agreement if such were
achieved.
