.ALTENS SINGLE
 SPANKS BARONS
Camps Homer In Ninth Ties Score, But Tenth
 Is Fatal

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. Z.- Howard Camp socked a terrific homer over the right field wall in the ninth inning with two runners on base and undid the great work of Eddie Morris in holding the Bar0ns in the palm of his hand for eight frames. Ernie Al tens poked a single to center m the tenth inning and undid the work that Camp had made necessary, the Barons losing their sixth straight game by a 4 to score.
 Up until the ninth Morris had toyed with the Barons, not a man having reached third base. Two hits in the first frame put men on first and sec ond, but there they died. FrOrl then on until the, ninth he had permitted only four scattered blows ant. not runner had gone beyond. first. His control was perfect and his pitching mGsterly. He seemed to ease up m tine ninth after Stewart and Jeanes had singled. He was unable a dis pose of Camp. Howard parked fast ball fal away and the SC Ire was tied in a knot. Harry Weaver came along to relieve Eddie and retired the side. He had easy sailing in the tenth and got credit for the win in the tenth.
 T HI odNICL DAlCuCu AAh- U1AA NAaGo8A plugged steadily from time to time. Murray doubled and Hawks singled in the opening inning scoreing a run. AL tens walk and hit by Paskert and Wells scored another in the fourth inning. Brausen pulled the hidden ball trick on Paskert here and ended a threatened run harvest. Murray's single, Gaffs double and Fishers sin gle scored another in the seventh.
 Win In Tenth
 In the tenth the Vols went about winning with vigOr. Hawks singled in to centerfield and was sacrificed to second. He took third on Fishers Texas leagurer and crossed the plate on Alten's sizzler to center for the win ming run.
 The field was deep in mud and made base running slow. However, both teams handled the ball we'll and field ing feats adorned the work of both clubs.
 Brausen made a great stop of Al tens terrific swat in the eighth and threw him out. He had previously worked the hidden ball trick on Pask- ert at third. Sawyer took Fishers tap in the fifth, forced Hawks at third and got the runner at first. Brenner made a nice catch of Paskert's foul bunt pop, and doubled LebO off first in the second inning.
 Alten made a great catch off Gan gel in the ninth and staved off the win ming run threat. Calf grabbed Bren- ner's liner with his gloved hand in ihe first inning and doubled Stewart off Second.
 Stewart spiked rumOrs reaching here from Birmingham that he would go to Detroit and Del Pratt would be sent down to manage the BarOns. Stewart has been away from the club recently for business reasons, and states that he will finish out the present season and return to Birmingham next sea- son, also.
 Sep Good will likely draw Harry Weaver OF Art Olsen as an opponent in the Sunday combat here.

SUPPORT IS MAIN THING

In political campaign any kind of support is helpful and wei come to candidate. The only kind that irritates is the support that is withheld.@
 In John Spargo, the socialist speaker and writer, the Coolidge ticket has a staunch sdherent. His utterances in behalf of Coolidge have been widely advertised. He had an audience with the president at the White House and told the world, after the meeting with the presi- dent that Coolidge's victory would further the true interests of inter rational socialism,
 Some candidates are sincere and conscientious: They do not want the support of people who hold views deemed improper. But that isn't the G. o. P. feeling toward spargo. AS long as he hooks up with the Cool 'idge ticket he is a gentleman and a scholar.

GASOLINE PRICES

There is wide divergenCy in the price of gasoline throughout the country, with Connecticut being among the states where the price is high. Why this should be the, case is not known to motorists, and per haps they have been given various reasons by vendors at the filling sta ton. Of course, the state tax helps to boost the price; and perhaps the boost is more than the extent Of the tax. Anyway list of prices for the fluid in cities throughout the coun- try. published few days ago in the New York Times, gives splendid birds eye view of a situation in which millions of tire-riders are in terested.
 The Standard oil company of New York quoted IT cents wholesale and the Standard Oil of New Jersey quoted 16 1-2 cents wholesale the lowest levels since January.
 Gasoline is sold in Tulsa, Okla, at a lower price than anywhere else in the United States. The price at present is 10 cents a gallon. In Jan- uary, 1921, the retail price in Tulsa was 2S cents a gallon.
 Gasoline sells higher in Butte, Mont, than in any largc-not small distributing center in the country
 The retail price in Boston is the same as in New York city, The vary- ing distance from the oil fields doesn't seem to make any difference The same figure obtains in Phila- delphia. In Chicago the price i' lower. and in St. Louis even more SO
 ! Prices today are still somewhat higher than the lowest price Of 1923

A PARADE OF SKELETONS

From Republican curbstone viewpoint, it was not a pleasing par ade which Senator Henry F. Ashurst Of Arizona, fguratively speaking, led up and down Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. C., at the dinner of the fifth senatorial district at Lake Compounce last night.
 There were too many skeletons in it to satisfy worshippcrs at the shrine of the elephant. There was the skeleton Of MT. Fall, whose sud- den requirement of wealth led to the Teapot Dome scandal. There was the skeleton of former Secretary of the Navy Denby, whose name was also associated with the scandal. And there was the skeleton of Daugherty, the discredited attorney general who is making q pathetic effort, through the NOlCe OL btSLOu b. -hCdllo, lo " III back a place in the estimation of critical citizens.
 Then there was an old skeleton, the grand daddy of them all, the al legged connection of Charles D. Dawes, Republican candidate for vice-president, with the Lorimer scandal in Chicago, It may surprise some to learn that Mir. Dawes, he o1 the upside down pipe and the HeL and Maria vocabulary, was associat- ed in deal with Lotimer, who was expelled from the Uaited States sen- ate for corruption, according t1 Senator Ashurst.
 From a Democratic angle, it was an interesting parade. And the bands were playing a dead march.

THE VACANT CHAIR

President Coolidge may abandon his plan to call another arms con ference in Washington with the view of further curtailing armaments, especially on land The presidents attitude, dispatches state, is due to the fact that the League of Ma tions has initiated a movement 10 limit military establishments, and that the United States, in company with Germany and Russia, forming the three larger countries who are not members of the league, cannot refuse to support the movement initiated by the league
 Obviously it would be unnecessary for the United States to call another arms limitation conference if tho League of Nations calls one and is accorded a generally favorable re- sponse, as seems likely.
 Whether the next conference comes under the aegis of the league or the United States, it will labor with much better possibilities of complete success than was the case during the arms conference called by President Harding. At that time war psychology continued much more in evidence than today. and an attempt to limit land ornaments was strongly opposed by Briand, spokesman for France. The French republic still believed she needed a large army and would listen to no plans to curtail 1t.
 Conditions today are radically dif- ferent. In the first place, the present government of France, with Herriot as premier, appears to be more rea- sonably disposed toward such mat ters. Herriot is said to realize that if the security needed by France can be obtained through action of the league or any other general agree ment, it is the policy of wisdom for France to join in an agreement hav- ing this end in view. A large milt- tar establishment is expensive, and Hcrriot believes in economy if con- ditions heretofore demanding large army are obviated.
 The sixth meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva has been the most important since the founding of the league. The league not only is functioning but is functioning well.
 News dispatches indicate that the 1 German cabinet has decided to re- , quest entrance into the league, great ly pleasing league leaders. It is plan, 1 ned to create an extra seat in the council should Germany be admitted there being a vacant chair left-for the United States.
 When will Uncle Sam. professine to be a leader in international amity and good will, take the seat that of right belongs to him? To refrain from doing so would be a tragedy tc the world and to himself.

BACHELORS AND MAIDS

Bachelordom in New York ap- pears not to be what it is cracked up to be. A fine new hotel was built recently, and it was to be residence for bachelors only. The advertise ments told us that it would be a haven for the harassed members Of the stern sex who appreciated luxuri- GUS living with all the comforts of home plus the comforts of effete civilization. Even pies such as mother used to make would be serv- ed to the lonely bachelors, at so much slice.
 But bachelors didn't come in suf- ficient numbers to turn the big pile into teeming paradise of bachelors; at least, that is the impression one gets from the equalization of the management to make equally az  strong an appeal to fair femininity. Hereafter both sexes can find a home in the hostelry. The main require ment, aside from the payment of the cost of living in the palace, will be respecta bflity, the new and later announcement reads
 It is probable that bachelor maids will succeed in filling the place where bachelors failed. Cupid maybe spy Ing around and in due course there may be no bachelors or bachelor maids at all in the new skyscraper.

NEW PUTNAM BANK
 HITS OBSTACLES
Comptroller's Orders Hard to Carry Out

Putnam. Conn.,, Sept. 25.-Obsta- cles have arisen that may make it impossible to open the new Citizens National bank, organized after the First National bank had closed its doors following the attempt at sui- eide of its cashier, former State Treasurer c. Harold Gilpatric, as soon as it was, expected. According to Judge M. H. Geisser, chairman of the citizens committee, the pro- motors of the new bank have been in conference with bankers of high standing and 1t has been pointed out that many of the provisions laid down by Comptroller of the Cur rency Dawes for the new bank will be difficult to execute.
 It is pointed out that it ipay be advisable Tor the new bank to SC cure modest quarters for 6. few yeats and not attempt to take over the old First National bank build ing, valued at s104.000. It is also said that if the deposits of the old bank are taken over, 1t will bs necessary to secure the signatures of many of the depositors, includ- ing school children and that would take considerable time.
 The committee will communicate with the comptroller in an attempt to have the provisions for a charter modified 50 that a commercial bank can be established in Putnam at the earliest possible moment.

MORE FIREWORKS LIKELY

Harry VI, Daugherty, former at torney-general, who virtually was busted from the cabinet by Pres ident Coolidge after the president did all he could to help, aid and as- sst the Harding appointce while he was under fire. isn't satisfied to re- main out of the spotlight. The chances now are that he will get too much spotlight once again.

 And as a result of the renewed ac- tiyity of Daugherty to clear his namc another senate quiz is likely. Coming at this time during the campaign will not be a valuable asset to the Republican party. In effect, Daugh- erty has taken a slap at the Coolidge campaign.

ANGLO-GERMAN TRADE 7.
 PACT NOT BROKEN OFF
Germans Explain That Negotiations Simply Have Been Post
 pOncd Until Later

By The Associated Press.
 Berlin, Sept. 25. - The German foreign office issued a statement to- day explaining that the Anglo-Ger- man commercial negotiations had not broken down, as reported, but only had been postponed. They will be resumed shortly, the atate- ment adds, with every prospect of satisfactory conclusion.
 The commercial negotiations be- tweeii representatives of the British board of trade and the German trade ministry were begun early this week with the object of formu- lating treaty of commerce be- tween the two nations. Berlin dis patches Wednesday night reported the collapse of the negotiations. the reason being, 1t was said, that the negotiators had found it impossible to discover a common basis for the proposed instrument. One of the main difficulties was thought to be a refusal by the Germans to, grant concessions demanded by Great Britain for exemption from taxa ton of British goods exported to Germany under the proposed new German tariff which was under stood to provide for duties con- sidered virtually prohibitive on the British products involved.
