Pirates Disappointing.
However, l am frank to admit that
the Pirates are not nearly the club
that thought them to be. With their
strong team of 1925 fortified with two

they doomed as a club which would
stand out in the National League as
did the old Cubs and the Giants Of
recent years.

faithful Scoops never fully recovered,

ball that he did last season. the Pr

Washington Bureau of N. B. Herald)
 Washington, April 1S.--EIarry C, Jackson of New Britain, state com mander of the American Legion, and Edward White Of Waterbury and New Haven, past state com mander, are in Washington calling on General Hines of the Veterans Bureau and the Connecticut con sressional delegation in the interests of the Veterans hospital at Alling- town.
 They are working to find some means of buying the hospital which is now leased by the government. Several difficulties are in the way, as the building is not fireproof. Gen. Hines has said that he will not ap- prove any plan to. buy the hospi,al under these conditions.
 There are likewise some difficult ties ill the leasing, as the hospital operated under trust fund that provided that it should be used for Connecticut tubercular eases alone.
 In an effort to iron out the dilGi- entities and make some satisfactory arrangement for the care of Con necticut veterans, MT. Jackson and MT. White yesterday called upon General Hines, Senator Hiram Bing- ham, Senator George P. Mclean, Representative John Quillen Tilson of New Haven, Representative Schuyler Merritt of Stamford.
