observation-disclosures is on second base
with two out. Batter hits the ball for
three bases. He fails 10 touch second
and is called out when the proper
claim is made. Does the run count ?
Answer-It does. The batter touch
cd first and the hit would have
scored the runner and did.
QuestiOOeHirst and second bases
are occupied Batter strikes out and
the catcher drops the ball. 1t rolls
away from him about fifteen feet. I'm
pire fails to call the batter out and
he goes to first base. Runners on first
and second advance TO second and
third. Catcher RECEIVERS the ball and
throws to third to get the runner but
fails. 1t is admitted the batter was
out but did the runners on first and
second have any right TO so to the
next bases?
Answer-They did. If the catcher
had been able to get the ball to third
in time the runner would have been
out if properly touched.
Question-Batter hits low fly over
the second baseman's head. The lat
ter throws his glove at the ball never
thinking he will hit it but he does and.
as the ball drops, he catches it. Is
the batter out?
Answer-The batter is not out. On
the contrary. he is entitled to so to
third base.

Richest ShaIc Beds Ever Discovered Are Reported Located in West Somerset. England.

London, Jan. 19.--Whst is claimed to b one of the greatest and richest oil-bearing shaie beds ever discovered has been found fin West Somerset, ae- cording to the Evening Star today. The bed is said to have a mining sur face Of 500 to 700 feet, which the experts say is unprecedented. The beds. 1t is declared. contain the high est qualities of oils. comparable only with the Green river formation in Colorado, hitherto an unparalleled ex- ample of oil shale wealth.
 The newspaper quotes Larette Par kin, an English engineer as reporting that 1t is safe to base the commercial production of the beds at 5000 o9n.- 900 tons of oil shale. with an oil con tent of more that 1000. 900. 900 tons, valued at fs.00O 900. He estimates the shaie could be quarried fop three shiil- ings per ton. It also quotes Dr. W. Forbes Leslie. geologist. as saying the beds are "a mighty source of heat and power from which we can draw for our industries without spending money on foreign oii.The magnitude of this discovery means that We can sup ply all our needs for cheap power, light and heat for centuries" He claims the beds will make England in- dependent of foreign supplies in time of war.

 The blockade declared against Tam pico by the rebels is looked upon here as doomed to failure, as there are rumors that the. gunboat Bravo and two other warships acquired by the Obregon government will arrive shortly.
 Nevertheless there is some alarm among the inhabitants of the city and the military authorities continue their work Of strengthening the fortifiea- tions to repel possible attack by rebel vessels.
 It is stated that all vessels entering or leaving the port thus far have done so without any trouble. Three steamers arrived yesterday and six oil tankers and the Ward liner Es- peranza sailed, using the services of the port pilot and not being molested by the rebel gunboat outside. The captain of the American steamer Mexoil, one of the vessels arriving, said the rebel gunboat allowed the ships entrance to the Panueo river solely on condition that they would leave as soon as they were charged with fuel.

KINSELLA PLANNING
 TROLLEY RATE WAR
Will Appeal for Separate Account
 for Hartford and Vicinity

Hartford, Jan. 9.-Preliminary to having an appeal made through the common council to the public utilities commission for separate accounting and trolley fare rate district for Hart ford and its environs, Mayor Kinsella today requested information from the commission as the present status in that body of proposal to have such accounting districts formed through out the state by the Connecticut Go.
 The mayor reminded the commits sion that in its decision in the Bridge port fare appeal. October IS, 1921, thecommission went on record as fol- lows:
 Large centers of population should assist in supporting the tributary lines having to do with the social, business and industrial activities of the com munity, but should not be called upon to assist in the maintenance of street railway service in remote sections of the state. The respondents system should be divided into separate &C., counting districts each district to comprise such territory and muni- cipaiities as are closely connected with each other and are daily dependent in their social business and industrial activities upon inter communication and transportation.
 The commission at that time also stated that at it's request the company had submitted a plan for divisional &C., counting butthat no formal action had been taken on it. Mayor Kinsella pro- poses to ask the city council to ask the commission to carry out its pro- posal for divisional accounting so far as Hartford is concerned at least, as that will make lower fares feasible here. he believes.

CONGRESS IS QUIET
 BEFORE MON. STORM
Next Weeks Activities Promise
 to Be Brisk

Washington, Jan. l9.--A sabbatic quietude settled upon congress again today--like calm before the storm. The senate was not in session; the house spent most Of the day on dry and complicated details Of the inter- for appropriation bill: and many of the committees at both ends of the capitol were in recess over the week. end.
 But in the distance there were many prophetic rumblings. House members prepared for a new set-to next week over Muscle Shoals after Henry Ford had teegra phed that his much-debated offer still stands. The ways and means committee wound up its public tax hearings and laid it's lines for the real fight over the Mel lon plan. Three senate committees, Investigating no less than a trio of public questions than Russian recog- hilton, the Box Peace plan. and Tea pot dome, completed plans for @ si- multaneous and dramatic appearance in the spotlight on Monday.
 The one bit of color given the dull proceedings on the house floor dur ing the day was contributed by Sher- wood of Ohio, who out of the accu- niulatcd knowledge of his late eighties counselled his colleagues to save the country from system of prohibition enforcement which he said was fast becoming a menace to society.
 The Shenandoah's polar expedition was explained from Bakehurst to Spitzbergen and back again by Secre- tary Denby, appearing before the house naval committee, while on the senate side, Couzens of Michigan re- sumed his fight on the Mellon plan by challenging the treasury secretary to tell the country whether his pro- posals would benefit his own pocket book.
