declared that congress has no consti- tuition authority to restrict the presi- dent in the removal of officials from office it created. But that the chief executive, charged with the admin istration of the governments busi- ness, must be free to act on his own discretion.
 Taking up specifcall.- that section of the law which makes the term of postmaster four years, the court held that the president could remove them during that period for the good of the service.
 The court added that in case of removal from office it was not nec- essary for the president promptly to submit to the senate the name of successor, and that he could hold the office vacant indefinitely.
 It was held, however, that con- gress could control the removal of minor officials not appointed by the president.

 Opposition to western monopoly Of the first division in the National league has broken out anew. The Chicago Cubs have been ditched into the second rank and Brook lyn menace once again threatens the leaders.
 Doug McWeeny came out on top of Charlie Root in pitching duel yesterday with Brooklyn taking the decision of to 1 from the Cubs. The Robins also took fourth place and with three consecutive victories now tucked away rate one and a half games from the third place Cardinals and but six contests from the league leading Pirates.
 It was hard defeat for Root He allowed but five hits whereas Me Weeny yielded seven. Johnny But ler's single drove home Marriott with the deciding run in the fifth.
 Behind the steady pitching of McQuillan. the Giants chalked up their third straight triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. [ to ?. Jack son and Kelly led the New York at- tack against Pitcher Alexander con- fributing a home run apiece Jim Bottomley produced his 18th circuit wallop of the season for St Louis.
 Dan O'Leary, veteran walker, per- formed his act before the main show was on at the Polo Grounds. He circled the bases five times in the way of celebrating his S7th birthday and the feat was ac- complished in four minutes, 54 sec pnds.
 The latest winning streak of the Yankees was extended to II games when the White Sox were subdued, to f., on their home diamond in Chicago. The Hugmen have won six struggles of their present tour of the west and have yet to taste de- feat Herb Pennock was victor in the box and it was his 17th triumph.
 Cleveland hung the Indian sign on the Boston Red Sox to l, stretch ing the winning streak of Iris Speakers tribe to seven straight. The clubs battled through eight in-. nings without score and in the ninth, after the Hose had put over run, Burns single permitted Sturgeon and Speaker to come home. Leysen gave four hits and Ruffing five. .
 Staging an uphill battle, the St. Louis Browns rallied in the eighth and scored three runs to nose out the Senators by to '.

RED SOX CLEAN UP
 l. S|MSBURY T0SSERS
Local Team, With Crippled Line.
 up, Too Strong for Hill Team

With Flynn pitching steady brand of baseball in the pinches, the Corbin Red Sox city champions, added another victim to its long list at Simsbury yesterday by the score of ' to 3. The Sox presented a patched up lineup dde to the ab- sence of Fitzpatrick and Schmidt. Blanchard was shifted to third and "Chucky" Wojack took his place at first. Berg played center and made his presence felt with a brace of hits. Paul Barnett showed his towns people how his team is cleaning up by hitting three times for a total of five bases. "Chucky" Wojack featured at first as did Corrazzo with a enchanted catch of Jones drive in the eighth.
 The Sox started early. Snyder pulled a pass. Jervis attempted to sacrifice but Phelps unused up the bunt and both runners were safe. Blanchard pushed both men along. Barnett's double to left scored both. A pass to IIuband an error by Phelps on Billy Wojack's offering and hits by Berg and Flynn counted three in the fourth, Berg scoring from first on Flynn's long single to center. Berg counted again in the sixth on his single and Snyder's double to left. Carrozza got a life on a fielder's choice when Snyder was thrown out in the ninth, stole second and tallied on Barnetts double into deep left.
 Simsbury's run in the third was due to s. Dewey's circuit into left. The fourth saw the home club shove across two on Roses two sacker and singles by Phelps and the Dewey brothers.
 Some idea of F1ynn's work may be gathered from the fact that the hill team had 10 men left on the sacks. Eddy crippled in the first but Weir famed for the last out. Weir hoisted to Berg in the third again for the last out with two men on. Two hits in the sixth meant nothing as the next two men popped. Two more hits in the seventh went for naught when the next man flied out to second. s. Dewey opened the ninth with a nice poke to left but the next three bat ters were taken care of by the Cor. bin infield. The score:

The third saw Bucholz, working for licensing ton for the first time this year, walk Bedecker. Mccarthy walked and Trodden singled to center SCOT ing Bedecker,.

Fafnirs Win Easily


 The slueging Fafnir crew made easy work of the Russwins when they romped away winner by a Is to score. The Drag gons were in front all the time. Hits were sent to all corners of the lot and it was a busy afternoon for the guardians of the outfeld
 Al Blanchard was the victim Of the Fafnir barrage and although he worked hard the batters were hav- ing their day and they made the most of it. Twenty safe bingles were poled out during the afternoon, with every Butt Maker with Nhe ex- ception of Weir, hitting safely. Silent Bill" Ferguson went to the plate six times and on five occasions he hit safely.
 The Russwins started off badly and the Fafnirs took advantage of this in the first frame, scoring six runs. Ferguson sent one just out Of reach Of Whitman and reached first as a starter. The Russwin infield went 10 pieces after this and two men got on, filling the bases. Joe Kania singled to left scoring two runs. Then the works was shot and before Fafnirs were retired a half dozen players had scored The sec ond frame produced two more runs, and before the ninth had been reached. 16 Fafnir runs had crossed the plate. .... ..+.
 The losers played gamely in the first few innings, but they were 1 fighting an uphill battle and were unable to solve the slants of the Stanley -Havlick combination with much success. They scored all their runs in the second and third frames when Stanley went wild and walked three men. This, when followed by q bingle to right, allowed two run hers to cross the plate. In the third, two long singles and infeld misplays brought them three runs After that they could not solve either Chick" Stanley or Jim Harlick.
 Ferguson led the batters. Joe Kania and Chick Stanley did quite bit of hitting, while Morelli, Good rich and Rakowski were the big guns of the Russwins. The score:

League Standing

Ianders barely nosed out the Stanley Works in the Industrial league play Saturday afternoon and had the breaks gone the other way. it is likely that Stanley Works would have been the winner. The Fafnir team had little trouble in downing the R. t5 E. team and slight changes are noted in the league standing.
 Landers Barely Wifi
 The Landers team received it's biggest scare from the Stanley Works on Diamond No. 1 and, but for the breaks of the game and wonderful support accorded Lefty" Huber by his mates, the Buttmakers would probably have set the Univer- sals back a peg. The game was thriller with all sorts of exciting, plays being enacted and wher Landers finally won by a 4 to 5 score, the followers of the league leaders heaved great sigh of relief.
 Salak occupied the mound for the Stanley Works and he pitched good game except for the fourth inning when five singles and q walk gave Landers a brace of runs en- abling them 10 tie the score. The Universals added one in the fifth, another in the sixth and this last ,cne gave them the necessary margin fof victory.
 The Stanley Works hopped off 10 q good start in the first inning. Green, the first man up, got a long single into right Mack forced him at second. Paulie Snyder got one of the longest hits seen at the park this year but fast fielding held him 10 three bases while Mack scored, Wendroskis single sent in Snyder but tough break resulted when Wendroski was nipped off first by q quick throw from Nester to Fitz- patrick
 The Stanley Works was quiet until the sixth when after Landers had gone into the lead. the. Buttmakers tried desperately to tie the score. Snyder was safe on Huber's error. Wendrosl<i sacrificed hlm to second. Parsons drove one through Preisser at second and Snyder made a dash for home. Preisser's throw to the plate was perfect and Snyder was out. Parsons was at second and when Pelletier drove one into left field, he made for home but Dar- row made a perfect throw to the plate and he was safe.
 Two putouts at the plate by Jack Schroeder cut off two from Landers in the fourth and made two spec tacular plays. Another desperate rally in the eighth scored one for the Stanley Works, but fell short of tying the score. Mack singled when a relayed throw caught him off first. This was the third runner caught in this manner. Snyder walked and went to second when Wendrosk was hit by a pitched ball. He scored on Parsons single to right but the other two runners died when Jack Pelletier was called out on strikes.
 Paul Snyder was tie star of the Stanley Works. He had five putouts in center field while the presence of Jack Schroeder behind the bat was a tower of strength. "Micky' Bucheri was the hitting kid for the Trniversalists while Preisser's un- assisted double play featured. The score:

West Ends ys. Rangers

A hit from the bat of the veteran "Red" Campbell gave the West Ends a 5-4 decision over the Rangers in a close and well-played game. the old timers third single of the day driving in the winning run in the eighth inning. The game was a struggle between Tommy Blanchard and Joe Casey, with Tommy having the edge over his youthful opponent. Up until the eighth, however, the Rangers held the lead and were in front by 4-2 when the West Ends came to bat in that frame.
 Then Cooper and Miller singled, but Recauo took Aldrich's hit and forced Cooper at third. Basil also hit to Recano, and this time the

The Stanley Memorial team will meet the Center church. which has been playing rather mediocre ball and which will be handicapped by the loss of Dwight Skinner, its regular pitcher. The Trinity Metho- dists will tackle the tail-end Ken sington outfit and will probably find some trouble in disposing Of it, as the suburbanites. have been playing better with each game. The third game will bring together the White Army and the First Baptists in what should be close battle.
