 most kccnly conts strd basketball games seen on the local court in seN- eral seasons. Lafayette, putting on a sudden spurt in the waning moments
 Of the contest, emerged on the long end Of q 25 to 70 score, It was the sensational playing of "Dinty" Moore, the Maroon's little forward, that
 made victory certain for Lafayette.
 With but three minutes to play
 Moore dropped three double dcckers through the nets.
 Mcnk, Rutgers midget forward, was the cog in the visitors teamwork and
 his all around playing kept them in the running until the end. He was responsible for three fold goals, while Raub, tho giant guard, also secured three.

Canton, O., Feb. 7.-JacIl Britton, midway in the forties, slow Of foot and q bit fatty around the waist, sill has the best left hand in pugilism.
 The old welterweifht cham pion went against Archie Walker, an English welter- weight, here the other night
 and left-handed him simple.
 Like most English battlers, Walker was clever and Q fair defensive tighter, but he was completely baffled by Briton's swift left handed punches.
 Britton could have had his right hand tied to his back and still whipped Walker by forty blocks.

THIRD BASE COACH
 MUST BE ON ALERT
Victory May Depend on His Judg'
 lneDt at Crucial Moment

One Of the worst abused individuals tn baseball, next to the umpire Of course. is the coacher at third base. One of the most important features Of the game. it seldom calls for praise 1 bom the fans. yet constantly places the person acting in that capacity open to Ccnsurc.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-07

More games are lost at third basc each year, through bad coaching than are decided by dropped fly balls" was the remark once made to be by we'll known manager.

Several hits followed that bad piece O. base running. Before the side was retired two runs were scored, one shy Of a tie. Bad judgment on the first play Of the inning proved disa strous, probably killed the chance to win.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-07

NI boSt ttttillliE Ah' ti . NIl' HiA' W uS retired two runs were scored, one shy Of a tie. Bad judgment on the first play Of the inning proved disastrous, probably killed tn" chance to win.
 Few players relish the job of coach- ing at third base. Some managers who fear not the wrath of the fans handle tho job, Most of them, how ever. delegate some seasoned player for the all important positions. Very often he is some veteran star acting as assistant to the manager. one day last summer l heard Jimmy Burke. assistant 10 Frank Chance at Boston. soundly "ra2Zcd' when he had made the proper play. Jimmy didn't liko 1t and didn't blame him. He looked at mo with a puzzled expression and merely remarked: Can you beat it"''
 
 The play involved just such d situa . tion as previously described Boston was trailing four or five runs when the first halter up in in" ninth hit safely.
 When thr player rounded second and was on the way 10 third Burke, playing proper baseball. motioncd for inc runner 10 pun mp at third. One run at that stagc of the gamr m"ant rothing. Boston had to get four or iiyr. IL was m place 10 take a chance un scndiag the runner home. lt so happened that the fielder who made the throw to the plate cut loosc a bad peg that rud"d the catch, and on which tho runner could have easily made the plate had he kept on run ninE. Then it was that Burke show cred with words pimcntary, Net he made the only proper play in holding the runner at third.
 
 nquostiona hly thc coachor at third has il tough job. He must have good Judgment and a keen eye. Hc must be able to rate the speed Of tho run. ncr and the throwing ability Of the man handling the ball. lIo must use snap judgment and then rido through. No wonder players do not relish the third base coaching job.

New Scandals In OIL Leases Are
Predicted

The deeper the Government attorneys
60 into Fall leases of the naval oil lands
the more certain these lawyers are that
clues have been found that viii lead to
revelations more shocking than the Tea.
pot Dome exposure a year ago.
New evidence has been found. according
to former Senator Alice Pomerene. who.
with Owen F. Roberts. is prosecuting the
Fall-Doheny- Sinclair cases. involving al
legged profits Of fully 100000 in an oil
transaction which followed the leasing Of
Teapot Dome properties to Harry F. Sinclair
The discovery Of an additional 100000
in Liberty bonds. deposited TO the credit
Of Fall in three different banks. is the latest
concrete development announced by Gov
eminent counsel But this is said TO be
merely incident to more important in
quiries which are being conducted.
Mr.. Pomerene is in Cheyenne. Wyo., to
urge a pOstponement Of the trial Of Sim
clair and will tell the court that more time
is needed to get at the bottom Of these
transactions. particularly so in view Of the
fact that three material witnesses are now
out Of the jurisdiction Of the American
and Canadian courts.
In a statement issued 10 connection with
the motion which has been made for a
postponement Of the case. Mr.. Pomerene
declares that he is certain the recently
discovered $4,000 in Liberty bonds de-
posted to Falls credit were but part Of
the bonds actually deposited in the latter
name. The evidence being gathered by
the Government attorneys is declared to
indicate that these bonds originated from
a deal in which there figured severalpromi-
nent oil men heading companies allied
with the Sinclair interests.
Alleged principals in the Toronto deal
have scattered following the activity Of
Pomefene and Roberts. Two are now in
Europe and third is on his way to Africa.
Steps TO bring about their return to this
country to testify are expected to be taken
by Government counsel. The maenates
whom the attorneys want to question re-
gardine the transfer of the 100000 in
bonds are H. NJ. Blackner president Of the
Midwest Refining Company; Jas. 0Neil.
former president Of the Prairie Oil and Gas
Company. and II. S. Osler, president Of the
Continental Trading Company, Of Ontario.
One victory already has been won by
the Government in decision by the Su-
perior Court Of Ontario. where it contended
that OsIer, head Of the trading company,
should be compelled to testify as to why
he converted money obtained as royalty
on oil transactions into Liberty. bonds,
part of which were deposited to Falls
credit 0sler had defied the Government
prosecutors. The court ruled that his tes-
timony could be taken. However accord
ing to M. Pomerene. he sailed for Africa
before the decision was handed down and
is now on the seas.
I'VE have checked the numbers Of the
bonds purchased by 0sler and found them
TO be identical with those which after
ward were found to have been deposited
TO the credit Of Fall in banks Of Texas
New Mexico and Colorado" the Pomerene
statement says.

Chicken Epidemic Fund Appro-
prlated.

The United States Senate adopted a
joint resolution last Friday authorizing an
appropriation Of 100000 to be expended
by the Secretary of Agriculture "for con-
troll and eradication of the European fowl
disease and .other contagious disease Of
poultry"
Under the appropriation surveys prob
ably will be made to determine whether
Federal embargos and guarantees should
be imposed to check the disease. which
has led to State and city guarantees
against poultry shipped East from Middle
Western States.
The appropriation resolution would
amend the Acts OF February 2, 1908, and
March 8. 1905. to include among the
plaques to be fought by the Department
of Agriculture all contagious disease Of
poultry. This would enable the depart
ment to make annual estimates to con-
tinue the work.
The leaders in Congress agreed to take
immediate action after representatives Of
several organizations Of farmers and poul-
try men had pleaded for an emergency
appropriation.
The measure was presented from the
Agricultural Committee BY Senator Nc
Nary. of Oregon.
Experts from the Agricultural Depart
ment told the committee the European
fowl disease was not communicable TO the
human body. The ailment was described
as extraordinary in its rapidity of action
and almost unprecedented in its mortality
rate.
Two days after an attack, the experts
said. 80 per cent of the afflicted poultry
died.
Representatives of the department
said 1t recently had been asked often
whether il would be safe to eat eggs dur
ing the epidemic. Assurance that eggs
would not be affected was given in the
belief. based on expert investigation. that
a diseased hen ceased laying as soon as
stricken and that the ailment was not
transferable to stocks of eggs from I'M
infected chickens
