 LONDON. Nov. 1.-"England is now virtually at war with Russia. This was the conclusion of George Bernard Shaw in q bristling statement summar- izing his views of the British general election for representative of the North American Newspaper alliance and The Age-Herald. Shaw's statement follows:
 "The results of the general election mean three things: One, England is now virtually at war with Russia; two, England has lost her head in European diplomacy; three, England has at last got the government she deserves. This last is the most alarming of the three."

 In the second round. Bcrlenbnch backed Rather to the neutral corner and pummeled him with rights and lefts but Rather survived by hanging on. Rather landed just often enough to make Berlenbaehs cautious. The milling was fast, Berlenbach was try ing frantically for a knockout.

NEW DEPARTS SET
 ID GIVE BATTLE
Bosses in Bristol Saturday and
 Here on Sunday

Bristol. July 25.-There promises to
 be an abundance of action at Muzzy field Saturday afternoon whan the
 New Britain state league team, fresh
 from their double win over Torring-
 ton last week, will invade the Bell
 City and endeavor to tack pasting
 on to the New Departures. No one
 familiar with the rivalry existing be- tween these towns will doubt that the
 melee will be well worth watching and and it appears as though quite a large percentage of the citizenry of both places will be on deck. The same pair will also go to the mat on Sunday at St. Mary's field. New Bri- tain, and this fuss also gives promise of attracting one of the largest crowds of the season.
 Whether or not the Bearing Makers can put the skids under the recent winning rampage of the Besse-Le- lands is problematical. However, the fact remains that Manchester, Meri- den and Torrington fell victims to their ferocious attack, and the Hard ware City gang is cocky enough to believe that the factory bunch are in for a sweet surprise. Last week 1t will be recalled that the New Bri- tainites sprung one of the biggest sen- sations of the season when they knocked the Torrington Tigers dizzy twice in a TOW. According to their way of reckoning, this feat was more than the Bearing Makers could ac- complish against this same worthy foe, and they can see nothing but a. clean sweep over the locals in the coming set-to.
 The latest spurt of New Britain has set the fans in the "o' country" all agog and it is rumored on good authority that they have already con- tracted for the erection of special pole on which to hang the gonfalon However. those Hardware City chaps better not count without reason, as 1t is believed in some circles, especially local, that Bristol will have more or less to say before the flag Is dis tributed

 CARPENTER FOUL BLOW
Says Tt Was rpper-cut To Stomach-- Carp Now Says He Won't
 Retire

New York, July 25.-Gene Tunney today denied that the blow which crippled Georges Carpentier in the fourteenth round of last nights bat tie was foul, as alleged by Carpenter and his manager, Francois Descamps
 Tt was an uppercut to the pit of the stomach" said Tunney. Carpen- tier had declared that he was struck low.
 ''I had been laying for that blow all through the fight" continued Gene. Its dangerous one to use against man with straight right such as Carpenter depends on. tried the blow first in the second and was nail- cd with a right to the chin. But in the fourteenth Georges was very tired and finally left the opening was looking for"
 Carpenter, for whom defeat In last nights match had been expected to mean retirement from the ring, said he could not give up his career until he had avenged himself on Tunney. He would make no other comment, except to say that the finishing blow had been low.

TEAM GOES BY PLANE
Mitchell Field Players Travel By Air plane To Escape Heat But Lose The Game.

Mitchell Field, L. l., July 25.-For the first time in the history of avia- ton a United States army baseball team and some 'rooters" travelled by airplane yesterday from Mitchell field to Camp Vail and returned in the same manner. The excitement of the flight was too much for the local boys and they were on the short end of a 6 to 3 score. It had been planned to send the. team by rail, but Major flensley felt the heat might interfere with the boys on the 50-mile trip and hit upon the plan to send them by airplane. Accordingly four DeHavi- lands and one Martin bomber were put into service. Two trips of each plane were necessary to get the play CTS to Camp Vail.

LOOK AT OLD MACK,
 THEN SEE HARRIS
The Old Timer and Newcomer in
 League Baseball

The pennant race in the American league presents the two extremes in managerial direction,
 "Rueky" Harris, the hoy manager of the Washington club, the youngest leader in ,the majors, has his team within whispering distance of first place,
 Connie Mack, conceded te he one of the eame's greatest strategists, the oldest of all biz league managers is last.
 In the spring Mack WAS confident that he had a club that would finish second, The Yankees he figured to repeat.
 Harris. in his first year as a man ager. merely had hopes of sticking In the first division. The club that had been turned over to him finished fourth in 1923, He planned to do at least as well.
 Practically the Same Team
 With practically the same club that was well handled by Donnie" Bush last season. Harris, after very or- dinary start. is well up in front with the season half over.
 Despite the fact that only very few new faces have been added to the Washington roster. it looks like an entirely different team in action.
 The club has certain confidence in itself that was lacking last seasony the teams play that give it color. It simply doesn't know the meaning of defeat.
 Sad Days for Mack
 The never-quit spirit can be at- tributed to the boy manager" so- called. Harris is fighter, but a square one. and he seeks only the survival of the Attest. Recently the Washington and Philadelphia clubs clashed in series Of seven games. The Athletics lost six of them. only a superb exhibition of pitching by Eddie Rommel prevented clean sweep by the Nationals.
 Those were melancholy days for Connie Mack. Must have brought | back memories of the happy days | when his team was winning pennants and world series.
 The plight that Mack finds himself Tn, a situation he has constantly laced since he broke up his great cam of 1914, proves beyond doubt hat regardless of the baseball wis lom possessed by manager, it is to win ball games unless ne has the material to work with.
 Manager Needs Material
 No manager in the game knows more baseball than Mack. yet for 10 years he has been unable to produce results. Mack has discovered it Is more difficult to develop players than le believed.
 Harris. on theother hand, fired with he ambition of youth, backed by title managerial prestige, is playing daring game and delivering.
