LEAGUE BASEBALL
 RACES

The New York Yankees in the American league of professional baseball clubs continue to stand out like an EiffeI tower in the league standing. much to the satisfaction of those who like to sec rockies prosper. Tn spite of the juicy errors marked up by Mark Koenig, the Higgins hired hands hold together and manage to win often enough to maintain semblance of their lead.
 It would be more exciting race in that particular league if the Yankees and their rockies stumbled little. But seven weeks Of the base ball ruction remain to be played and time is not with rockies. The veterans are more likely to stand the gaff toward the end of the sea son.
 AS for Babe Ruth, his homers are coming with such unceasing regularity that Huggins is willing to forget the past. The Babe promised to be good and stage comback, and ! the worst that can be said against f him so far seems to be that he i fshed in Michigan during former trip without the formality of getting out a fishing license.
 i In the National league conditions are more chaotic. It would be a courageous commentator to venture anything approaching a guess as to the outcome. The Pirates seem in- clined to hold the lead by slight margin but the other contenders are so close the race looks like a free
 for-all Still, the wise man will bet on the Pirates for a spell.

LEGAL MINDS AND BANDITS NECkS

or the devious ways to gain pub licity, the action of the Baltimore Negro lawyer in attempting last minute stay in the execution Of Richard Reese Whittemore deserves some mention.
 Whittemore is doomed to die on Friday. Nothing appeared in sight to prevent the execution until this Negro lawyer started lawing, The man knows as well as anyone that if he is able to put over his legal scheme it will be a big feather in his chapeau.
 But why should lawyers be so eager 10 save" crooks from their punishment When the bar associ- ations meet the learned gentlemen have much 10 say about the crime wave and how 10 combat it. Yet in practice the chief legal effort seems to involve the prevention Of punish- ment.
 Same in Nebraska, where q young bandit faces execution this week. And in Massachusetts -- whoop!
 The brains of the bar should CO., operate more with the law against bandits instead of attempting to be their chief bulwark to avoid paying their debt 10 society.

STANDING BY LAW ON wEDLOCK

Charles Garland has been some what In the public eye. He is the father of four children, the result of lawful wedlock. But the letter his wife offered in evidence in her di- vorce case - written to another woman - referred to established law and custom as having mo moral significance" and that they are wolves in sheeps' clothing.H
 Whenever a man or woman - wishes to follow personal conduct that the law does not sanction there are some such sentiments expressed.
 The facts are the law regulating social conduct is the result of ex. perience gained through thousands of years. It will take more than the desultory opinions of Garland to shake its value to the human race.
 Those who are so constituted that they simply cannot abide by the rules of matrimony shouldn't enter

TOO MUCH STALLING BY PRIZEFIGHTERS

If Jack Dempsey is serious in his claim that he at all times has been willing to meet Harry Wills, his negro challenger. it seems to the impartial observer that he should find no difficulty in being accom- modated. With the Gene Tunney match in September not allowed he has chance 10 "go after" Wills, If he can bring himself 10 do so
 The New York boxing commis- sioners - about as cratic com mission as ever functloned - ought 10 become sensible long enough to stimulate the Dempsey-Wills at- fair. The record of the Dempsey Wills imbroglio to date is no credit to anyone concerned.
 oh for the days Of John L, sul- Iiyan, of Bob" Fitzsimmons, and "Jim" Corbett. when champion prizcflghters took on all corners and there were no commissions to rule first one way and then another
 Those were the days when there were prlzefights a la carte.
 There have been four years of stalling around in the Dempsey Wills verbal contest, punctuated by contracts signed, broken and nearly forgotten. Everythiug has been done in the realm Of prizefighting

DONAHEY's STRENGTH

The victory of Governor A. ". Donahey in the Democratic primary in Ohio was fully anticipated and somewhat discounted. He remains one of the outstanding Democrats before the country, one possessing presidential timber.
 Far from finding itself devoid of strong candidates. the next Demo- cratic national convention need not look far. The three strong ones are likely to be Al smHh, Donahey, and Pomerene - one from New York and two from Ohio.
 Both are doubtful states that will strengthen the party If represented on the national ticket.

400 DENOUNCEMENTS ON
 CHURCHES NOW PENDING
Mexican Attorney General Orders Immediate Investigation Of
 Situation.

Mexico City. Aug. II R) - Since veloped about 100 Announcements" of Catholic church property have been made to government officials. Within the past few years about three hundred announcements were made but not settled. Thus four hundred Announcements are pend- ing and Attorney General Ortega has ordered representatives of the department of justice to immediate ly investigate the situation.
 A announcement means that a person. whose name is never made public, informs the government that a certain piece of property, which more often than not is not used for religious purposes and does not seem 1 10 belong to a church, is, in fact, church property held in the name | of some private individual.
 The Mexican constitution forbids church ownership of property or priests from holding property for the church or third party posing as the owner for the purpose of pro tecting church property.
 Any person "denouncing" or in- forming the government of such dssx3ised ownership receives a cer- tain percentage of the value of the property if the government finds the information given is correct ane 1t seizcs the property.

A GOOD MOVE BY COMMISSION

Decision of the building commis- sion to recommend to the Common Council a scheme for graduated plumbing fees instead of the nat sS rate will meet with hearty com mendation.
 The commission apparently Is Of the opinion that the flat rate is too ridiculous to continue, and that graduated rate from s1 up will be more apt to meet popular demands and at the same time protect the city and bring in some tax money.
 The commission is right, and the Council can do no better than take prompt and favorable action upon the recommendation

ECONOMIC CRISIS IN MEXICO

Just at time when Mexico is going through the throes of an argument with the chief religious force in the country along comes an economic crisis.
 Whether the economic and re- ligious crisis have anything in com mon is a matter of opinion; and of course. President Gales says the one is not due 10 the other, but that the economic crisis was shoying its head before theeother crisis arrived.
 When prices of commodities go up it always goes hard with the government -- in Mexico as else where.
 Meanwhile the worshippers are doing without the churches, hold- ing their religious rites at home. Whatever result will finally be- come permanent there is no doubt that the religious trend of a major ity of the people will not seriously suffer
 Early Christians held services in catacombs when necessary. and can do so again If the need arises.

SUZANNE AND HER PIOUANT COMMENTS

Judging from the tone of the Associated Press interview with Suzanne Lenglen, the woman tennis champion has had a hard life ever since she began playing tourna- ments flor the benefit of club owners" It was a terrible ordeal Of bondage and slavery" she says, and now that she is relieved of the necessity of playing with the exact ness demanded in match play she is going to show the world some Fireworks" = taking chances on shots she never dared to take be- fore"
 All of which sounds as if Suzanne anticipates a wonderful time in the United States, Canada and Mexico, where she intends to do her pro- fessionai tennis work,
 And unlike some z professional prize fighters, she is willing to meet all corners, and particularly Helen Wills at Jeast she says so. 1 But there are some grabbed sports editors who have remarked there are about 100 men tennis players in the United States who could defeat Suzanne, and if it's a case of meeting all corners some Of them might make the woman professional feel sick at heart On the other hand, she may prefer only to meet woman competitors.
 As for general athletic prowess, her record is splendid example of modern woman's penchant for out door exercises. In high jumping Suzanne was champion of France in 1 1919 and high jumping Is not ex- actly a poor preparation for tennis 1 play. In running she is also a fast article, while in dancing - well, she Is as proud of her dancing as she is of her tennis.

"MORAL TURPITUDE"

The state supreme court, in hold. ing that violations of the 18th amendment involves moral turpi- tude," no doubt strictly follows the rules of legal interpretation in connection with the Constitution. But from practical standpoint mo- body Is going to consider person who gets hold of hard liquor in the same class with anyone indulging in treason in time of war.
 There is school of thought, much in the majority hereabouts, which does not consider the Vol stead act as part of the Constitution.

A QUESTION BEFORE THE
 HOUSE

Sunny Starts Something With Her
 Prince Charming! Dear Prince of Mine:
 I'm wondering Which of us loves the greater. You've sworn your burning love is
 like Vesuvius's crater! You have declared that I'm reserv-
 ed; Too cold; too calm; too placid! Those loving accusations, dear Have scared my soul, like acid. I may seem calm; l may seem cold Yet inwardly I'm burning; Mere thinking of you sets my heart With wild emotion churning. And this will prove how much I've
 put
 Myself in your safekeeping- I think of you the whole day long And dream of you when sleeping Now can vou match a love like that! prov do vou. when you're working Think of your Sunny one wee oit' Or is vour love, then, shirkingE you see, wild sir, just why l thihK My love is much the greater; I'll gladly match it, calm ana coio' 'Gainst your volcanic crater!

about it. Since that time the New Britainite is back and no doubt is reading with equal sensations of the record breaking hot spell in Texas and Oklahoma, not to overlook the hot spots in Kansas and Missouri
 Another New Britainite, who once passed through Kansas on an all-steel train while hot spell was under way. to this day is telling his friends he is convinced that he went through the place where hell starts"
 When we read that four Kansas cities and spots in Oklahoma re- ported temperatures Of "110 in the shade and higher" and that higher marks had been reached only a few years ago. one is perfectly satisfied with New England.
 And the people out that way are so used to it that no deaths were reported.
 Which proves again that the human race can become accustomed and acclimated to almost any kind of weather.
 The trouble with us in New Eng land is that when we get a little taste of Kansas summer weather we are so unused to the experience that we suffer like polar bears in a bake oven.

British Mine Strikers
 Refuse Church Proposals

London, Aug. II P-The British coal miners, who are now in the 14th week of the strike and lockout, have caused general surprise by vot- ing S6165G to SS3036 to refuse to accept the project of the church leaders of England by which it was hoped that peace could be arranged between the miners and the mine owners and the strike ended. Even the leaders of the miners had rec commended that the plan of the churchmen be adopted.
 The compulsory wage arbitration clause of the plan is suggested as having caused the objection of the miners to it.
 The vote was taken in the vari- ous eolliery districts by order of miners delegate conference, which decided to leave the question of acceptance or rejection of tho bishops. project to the miners them selves.

 ON PRINCIPLE

Alderman w. H. Judd, president of the Common Council, and re- garded as the Republican whip of that organization, appears 10 be in favor of retaining the present rules which permit matters of importance being brought 10 the attention Of that body without adequate notice.
 The Republican whip says the rules are of long standing at least, they existed from before the time he became identified with the Council. What is old and tried and found satisfactory 10 the organiza- lion seems to suit the councilmanic leader .

BERLIN OUT OF PATIENCE

It used to be that Berlin residents were dissatisfied with the trolley service to New Britain. Now they discover that the bus service is at least as bad - maybe worse.
 The trouble seems partly due from the fact that busses ply be- tween New Britain and Meriden, and that Berlin has become stop.
 And waiting 45'minutes for a bus to show itself is expecting too much patience.
 The Connecticut company ought 10 give good service with Its busses 10 Berlin or step aside and let an independent company give better service.

Resolved, That there be spread upon the minutes of this board this expression, of our sorrow at the death, on Aug. 5, at Syracuse, N. Y, of our friend and associate, Edward H. Davison, chairman of the board, at the age of S5 years; our admira- tion of his many sterling traits of character and attractive personality, and our appreciation of his Iona and valuable service to this bank.
 Mir. Davison's connection with this bank has been for a period of nearly half a. century, He war elected an incorporator July 21, 1880; a director May 8, 1905. Upon the death of MT. Nibberts in 1908 he was elected president; upon the death of Mir. Corbin in 1910 he was elected president, continuing in that office until Jan. IS, 1922, when he accepted the position of chair man of the board. He has always been devoted friend and loyal supporter of this bank, and by his keen perceptions and sound judg- ment has freely rendered service of great value. without any com pensation other than the regular directors fee-his only reward being the satisfaction of knowing that he was helping his fellow men. His attitude toward this mutual savings bank was but typical of his attitude toward all things of a public or phi lanthropic nature. The state, the city, the church. the hospital, the Y. M. c. A. and the United Com munity corporation all enjoyed the benefit of his loyal support, interest and personal service.
 His was character and his was life pleasant to contemplate, and in passing leaves a precious memory which will long be an inspiration to us all.
