The big mouth trout" of the south is the same fish as the big mouth bass of the north, The tackle used is the same,
 The big mouth type of the south grows to d greater size due to an abundance of food and the fact that this food is available during all sea sons of the year,
 The bass of the north Is handi. capped by the ice of winter and scarcity of food at that time.

Worcester Is apparently Harttord's toner as the Senators fell victims to that team again yesterday.

 No hypocritical soft soap for hese boys, When the mayor or ome other high dignitary throws up le first ball, the usual thing Is for Ne batter to take a big swipe at it tthout hitting the apple, No such athing yesterday with the Paradise hrk boys.

Some clever fielding work that tould put to shame some of the lder boys, was pulled off by the lmith school team and it was hard ,reaks that lost them the game. Argosy, brother of the boys of Ranger fame, was behind the bat for he Smith and surely baseball is iorn with these boys. The young ter looked like Hank Gowdy behind he plate.
 If anyone doubts that there is reat rivalry between the teams in te Rotary league. let them be at ome of the games at Walnut Hill. he boys will play again next Tues ay and two more good games will c played. About 10000 fans rang ng from four to 15 years were in ,ttendance yesterday and the fire works on July Fourth made no more scket than the cheers brought forth rhen the rallies were tagged.
 John Downes, formerly of the Herald", a golfer and boxer of pte. held the indicator in the Wash tgton-Smith game and the young sers know from intuition how to cab the ump. Downes put up a alrly good exhibition as an umpire hough the boys from the North and outh wouldn't give him any rest { someone should call out Kill the mpire" during one of these games, Ec are afraid that there would be ,othing left of the ump when the peters got through.
 Come on you fathers and mothers cts see you out to watch your boys next Tuesday afternoon. The games start at o'clock.
 The Church league was the pro ducer of two fine games last night and better baseball has not yet beer seen on local diamonds.

DESCRIBES OLDEST
CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
National Geographis Society Leo
ture Tells of Discoveries on Trip
Through Abyssinia.

Three story Christian Churches
carved out of solid rock. probably In
the twelfth century, were described
for members Of the National Geo.
graphic Society last night by Dr..
Harry W Harlan in an address on
Abyssinia at the New Masonic Temple.
He reminded his audience that the
Abyssinians have been Christians for
1000 years-far longer than the peo-
pie Of northern Europe and Great
Britain-and that they followed the
Jewish religion for about 1000 years
before they became Christianized.
Dr. Harlan explained that, contrary
to general belief. the Abyssintans
are not negroes, but are a Semetic
people, whose ancestors invaded the
country from Asia. They have
straight noses and high foreheads,
and the women, less exposed than
the men, often have fairly light skins.
Most of the few negroes In the coun-
try, he declared, are slaves.
In search of botanical specimens.
DR.. Harlan went by caravan for a
two-month journey across parts OF
Abyssinia seldom visited by Euro
peans or Americans. The members
of the caravan lived largely on game
and on bullocks given by the chiefs
Of the regions through which they
passed, the native members OF the
party eating their meat raw.
Tho carved churches were found
at Lalabala, "the Jerusalem OF Abys-
sinia." They were frst reported by
a Portuguese traveller in 1920. Be-
tween that time and DR.. Harlan's
visit only three or four Europeans
have visited the strange edifices.

SPEAKERS EXT0L
PILGRIM FATHERS
Sturdy Character of Early
Settlers Senator Fess' Text
Before MayfloWer Society.

The fortitude and sturdy charac-
ters of the Pilgrim fathers were ex-
tolled by Senator Simeon D. Fess of
Ohio. Representative William B.
Oliver of Alabama and Addison P.
Munroe, governor general of the Cen
eral Society of Mayfiower Descend
ants, at the nineteenth annual din
ner of the Society of Mayfiower De-
scendants at the Mayfiower Hotel last
night.
Senator Fess said that the tenets
embodied in the compact signed in
the cabin of the Mayfower formed
the basis on which the American
Government was built, having been
drawn up by men tired Of religious
oppression and who knew the value
of freedom, and resolved to fight for
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. The Government finally
evolved from the efforts of the Pill
grims. he said, is one that was read
lily adopted by q number of other
countries and one which is destined
to live through eternity.
Value of Work Discussed.
There is no way to estimate the
value of the ideals established by the
forefathers, the Senator said, but an
idea of its worth may be gained from
the fact that from Is colonies with
100000 people, who could not bor-
row 100000 from Holland without
ample security, there has grown 4s
States with 100000 900 inhabitants,
who own 11,000,0 900 homes capable of
housing 50,000,000 people. and the
wealth represented in these homes is
staggering to even contemplate This,
he said, is the Nation started by those
who landed on the Mayflower half of
whom died from cold and want within
the first year.
If the church represented in the
compact is to be retained, propagated
and allowed to exist, it is up not only
TO the blood descendants of the I'll
grims but descendants in spirit and
conscience as we'll to strive to main
tain It's existence, Representative
Oliver declared. He cited the landing
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock as
the greatest monument in all history.
Nothing stimulates future develop
ment of this Nation as the lesson to
be taken from the trials and hard
ships endured by that sturdy group
of determined people, he said. They
arrived with habits of industry and
frugality and with very little money,
he said, but were set on the estab-
tishment of their own religious
standards.
Immigrants should be compelled
after reasonable length of time. to
permit of their learning American
ways and language, to assume
allegiance to the flag or return to
the land whence they came, Mr..
Munroe declared. Freedom of speech
