NEW YORK. Sept. ga picked
herring is nothing out of the or

1t is a whale of tale, as you might
say.
Passengers who arrived yester-

Four days out from Lisbon, they
said, n whale flirting with the ship.
rolling its eyes and otherwise disport-
ing itself.
Growing more affectionate the
mammal Struggled close to the boat,
nudgcd the iron sides with its nose,
and then, with flippant gesture of
its tail, splashcd away.
Passengers said the whale had i'm
bibcd too deeply of bootleg liquor
dumped off the rum boats.
This was denied, however. by per-
sons who have sampled bootleg stuff.
If the whale had been drinking
hooch, they said. it would have chewed
the propeller off the ship.

LOCAL ENTRY IS
 ID WITHDRAW
Du5:7 League Not to Be Repre-
 Sented in New Haven

It was decided today by those in charge of the industrial basketball league that New Britain's entry to the state tournament in New Haven on Saturday shall be withdrawn and this afternoon official notice was sent to the tourney officials that the Stanley Works will not take part.
 This, it is explained definitely, is not due to any dissatisfaction on the part of the local league managers or officials to tho method of selecting the local entry, but rather to the physical conditions of the tourna- ,ment.
 The tourney rules call for the pre- | tliminary games at p, m. At p. m the semi-fnals are to be played and the finals at o'clock. This means that the winning team and the runner up must play three full games of basketball within eight | hours time.
 One fast game of ball in q day is enough for even the best trained and Iconditioned team, physical directors state, but to require a man who is working every day to play three fast games within a few hours is too much of drain on his health. For this reason, New Britain is with drawing.

Reds Have Cannes

Cincinnati, O., March lS.-Con- tests with three strong American league teams faced the Cincinnati Reds when they left Orlando today for q tour of the Florida west coast, which will keep them away from the home camp until Friday night, At Tampa this afternoon, they meet the champion Washingtons for the sec ond time this years, and then move on to st. Petersburg for a game with the Yankees on Thursday. Friday they go 10 Lakeland 10 play the Cleveland Indians. Pete Donohue and Luquc were the pitchers chosen hv Manager Hendricks to oppose the strong Harris outfit this after noon.
 Carl Mays and Charley Dresser were the only members of the team who did not make the trip. Both are suffering with sore arms.
 Receiving word from Piedro Diput that the matter of his passports has been adjusted, President August Hermann cabled the Cuban pitcher to report at once. His addition to the roster would give Manager Hen dricks eleven moundsmcn.

New York, March IS. - Earl Combs will play conterheld for the Yankees this year and Joe Dugan will be the leadoff man, unless plans of Manager Miller Higgins, formed during the past few days at St. Petersburg prove faulty.
 With the new order of things, and claiming that they add 25 per cent Of the Yankee strength, Higgins saw his regulars trounce the second team yesterday for the first time this season,12 to 4. Nick Cullop, a recruit, started a procession in the third when he batted for Pitcher Blodgett and pushed a triple into center field which sent two team mate home.
 Whitey Witt and Cullop seem to be headed for bench service. The latter, a heavy hitter from Omaha, does well whenever he receives an opportunity, but lacks major league experience. Combs leg has been mended and is said to be as good as Fever.
 While Higgins was making such momentous decisions John Me Graw's pitchers allowed the Ath- letics Of the American league only two hits in a to victory at Sara sota, Artie Nehf permitting both of them. Sensational fielding by Groh, Frisch and Jackson kept trouble far away.

CORBLN TEAMS ARE NOW TIED FOR LEAD W DUSTY LEAGUE
Cabinet Lock Defeats Fafnir While Russell & Erwin Loses Out to Rule Shoppers.

The Corbin Cabinet Lock industr! al league team went into a tie for first place with the P. and F. Corbip team last night when 1t defeated the Fafnir five Ss to 24; and the RuIe , Shop quintet climbed a bit higher in it's fight to struggle definitely out of the cellar by defeating the Russell and Erwin team 29 to 24. Both games were hard fought throughout. The Lockmakers-Fafnir game was a rough one, with both teams beine about equally offensive. While most of the roughness was not of the in- tentional vicious sort 1t was due, in many cases. to the awkwardness of the players. The Rule Shop and Russwin game was better, from the basketball viewpoint. Darby" Car razza was the big gun for the Lock- makers and it was he who, in the closing minutes of the second half put the game on the ice. At one point Carrazza tossed in three beautiful field goals all within a period of so seconds. Red" Nelson, shooting seven out of ten free tries, ! was the scoring ace for the losers and Harold Weir, who got into the game in Paulson's place, also played neat game. He guarded closely and held Walther scoreless from the floor in the second half. Weir also accounted for two nice field goals and got two out of three free tries.
 Morelli and Sake played a fine scoring game for Russell and Erwin, while Les Woodford was by far the big noise for the Rule makers. In this however, he did not greatly eclipse acting captain Jimmy Mur- phy. Murphy played whale of Q game at guard, breaking up play after play and also getting in two dandy shots each of which was of the double decker variety. Also Mur- phy shot in three free tries in ar many attempts. Woodford jumped center last night and the playing Of this man was more like that of Les Woodford of other seasons. He play ed hard, aggressive game through. out, followed the ball closely. was scrappy and persistent in following the sphere into scrimmage, dribbled well and lodged elusively, while his shooting for the basket was excel. lent, he contributed eight points from the floor two of the basket having been one-handed variety Woodford by far played the best game last night of his career In tho Dusty league and his dash and vim was an inspiration to his fellow play CTS. Johnny Sikora. called into the game twice as relief man, distin guished himself by tossing in three field goals and foul. But riewinf this game, it must not be thought that the players mentioned did a! the work. At all times there wer' five men on each team and ever one did his full share of the wor' To the Rule Shop goes the ada glory of victory, but to the defeat
 goes also the credit for playing hard. energetic game, working UT ) the last minute.
