Contrivance.

Two colored men in an automobile
equipped with a smoke screen ap-
paratus fired on policeman this
morning and after a chase through
the streets, with the smoke blind
ing their pursuer, escaped. This is
the second case of it's kind within a
week. Although stating their in
tention to draft police regulation
which will make it heavy penalty
for an automobile driver to use a
smoke screen" to escape capture, the
Commissioners so far have not acted.
Motor Cycle Policeman Nicola of
the Twelfth precinct, stopped a car
on Sargent road northeast, near the
District line and asked one of the
two occupants for a match. A man de-
scended from the car and started to
give him match when the driver of
the car evidently recognizing the po-
blank, stepped on the gas and pull
ing his companion in the car, sped
away. Nicola, who was in an auto
mobile returned the fire and took up
the chase.
Rail Gates Delay Pursuit.
The car. supposed to have liquor
aboard, crossed the railroad tracks
at Michigan avenue and gained a
lead when the gates closed on the
pursuing policeman to allow a train
to go by. Taking up the chase, the
car made its way to Sherman ave-
nue. at a speed of SO to so miles an
hour, escaping in a cloud of smoke.
Nicola was unable to get the
license number of the car. He thinks
he hit it once or twice when he was
firing.

VERNON WINNER
 AT TUSCALOOSA

VERNON. Ala, June 3.-(Special.) The fast Tuscaloosa baseball team suf- fered defeat at the hands of the Venom ities on the locals diamond Saturday. The two games won from Tuscaloosa made the total number of games won by the Vernonities to be four. So far Vernon has not lost a game. The scores were "A and Az.
 The first game between Vernon and Tuscaloosa was pitchers battle. Neither of the pitchers weakened dur ing the battle. Robertson, for the locals, struck out 13 men and allowed only five hits during hte entire game. Sex ton for Tuscaloosa pitched a steller game, but errors on the part of his supporters and punched hits allowed the VernOnites to cricle the bases for seven runs.
 The second game was not so fast as the first, but at no time did it seem that the Vernonites were going to suffer defeat. Jordan pitched for the locals, while Campbell, who was later replaced by Sexton, started the game for Tus- caloosa. Less errors were committed by both teams, but more hits were secured by both teams. The supporters of both pitchers prevented a high score.

  Rule Discussion

NEW YORK, June 3.-Headed by Maurice B. Mclaughlin, former cham pion, number of prominent tennis players, both past and present, have addressed a letter to President George w. Wrightman, of the United States Lawn Tennis association, urging that no special meeting of the association be held to consider the present inter- pretation of the player-writer rule prior to the close of the 1924 season.
 After urging that both players and officials devote their best energies to the national and international tennis events this summer, instead of meeting to discuss rules, the letter says in part {:
 We think it inappropriate that the player-writer rule be discussed publicly while we are sending our own represen- tatives to play in foreign countries, and receiving as guests in Ouc county the players of other nations; some of whom also write for newspapers.
 No Discussion Necessary
 We further can see no necessity for a special meeting at this time, when all of our leading players, including William T. Tilden, H., our present national champion, will be eligible under the present rule to play this year in the United States amateur championships, and On the American Davis cup team, and also may continue to write for the newspapers"
 Among those signing the letter are Thomas c. Bundy, former doubles champion, with Mclaughlin, Harvey B. SnOdgrass, of the Pacific coast; Ma thanie w. Niles, Dean Mathey, Dr. George King, G. Colket Gamer and Hugh G. M. KelIeher.
