 Playing under the name of James Stanton post. American legion. Of Central Falls, the team represented the post which had captured inc Rhode Island junior championship, but 1T was in fact an ali-star team drawn from the several clubs par licipating in the. Rhode Island league. This fact was not disputed ty the management. but it was claimed such an anal gamation is permissible.
 Managers Larry Mangan and How ard Timbrell had no sooner looked over the Central Falls team than they decided Q protest must bc made. If the Rhode Island lads are within the 1G year limit of the Now Brit1inites are ready to ad- init boys grow biS in the neighbor- ing state. they declared. When the Central Falls team failed 10 pro- duce birth certificates tho game was formerly protested, Stanton post officers say the certificates are 7raiia ble and will be offered dur ing tho week.

Al times New Britain p1aycd loose bail. which was em- phasized the more by the clock work fielding of Central Falls.

Burritts IS, Speedboys 2

The Burritts overwhelmed the totterins Speedboys by 1G- 2, taking advantage Of innumerable errors to run up 14 runs in the first three innings. The fireworks started on Gaida's single 10 left, and before the SpeedbOys could get g man out in the second inning they had helped the Burritt cause with eight errors, q passed ball, and wild pitch. Dumb hradwork lcs' them T triple play in the first inning when 'he dropped third strike puzzle came ID again. Zalcskie famed with men on first and second and Luke dropped thre~ if to third. Both teams were fooled. and the runners tried to make an extra base. which they did when the Speedboy infielders touch cd merely the bases and not the men. Both Gill and Howe had plenty of time 10 tag the runners off their bases, but failed 10 do so.
 After tho second inning the Bur ritt battery reversed itself, while the subs went in and the remaining regulars shifted positions. This made little difference. for the Speedhoys were able 10 score only in the sixth. The game was called after the scv- enth To make way for the West End Robin fracas.

 Jack Dempsey's devastating wallop 1 was on public display for the last
 time today until the worlds heavy

 Tomorrow the champion will lay off. loahng around his bungalow. 1 When he resumes his training grind on Wednesday 1t will be behind lock cd gates. Only newspaper cores l pondents will be able 10 penetrate i Inc portals for the next three days and on Saturday his workouts until
 the finish, will be strictly private, with newspaper men barred. along with the public.
 Then, before members of his train. ing staff alone, Dempsey will try out teh strategy with which he expects
 10 defeat Tunney. Announcement of
 the champions decision to work
 strictly in private came as q surprise. It will be the first time in his career
 he has undertaken such a course.
 In unfolding his plans, Dempsey
 said he desired 10 work In private because Of his wish 10 whip himself into condition and that he was un- able 10 concentrate with the cries of crowd, complim entary or other wise, ringing in his ears. The secrecy move on the part of the champion was hailed as a art bit Of head work by hisadmirers. They pointed out that man. under obligation to put on a show for hundreds of peo- pie, who paid sl.1o 10 see him work, cannot try out many things he de sires. Furthermore if he has any tricks he wishes to keep secret, they would be just as private as a trolley rida

The West Ends looked for an easy victory ove+ the Robins but were lucky 10 win out by 9-7 after q close and exciting game in which the lead alternated continually.

Clyncs, and Maku- Ia made it 3-1. but in the fourth the Robins made some bad errors and Red Campbell's single topped eff a rally which gave the West Ends q 4-3 lead. Hits by Cowles, Denton, Makula, and Snetro, with an error by Cormier, sent the Rob ins into the van in the fifth, but more errors, wild pitch, and singles by Goodrich and Hcslin once more the West Ends a one run lead at 7-G. KopChik's drive to left center and errors by Miller and Basil allowed the Robins 10 tie things in the seventh. The West Ends filled the bases. but Kopchili got two nt the plate and Wilson threw out the third at first
 Tn the last of the eighth Cormicr led off with a hit to left. Freder- icks famed, but Cormicr stole sec end Goodrich hit 10 the box, and although Kopchik had an easy out at third he elected 10 play on first. His throw was wild and Cormier scored, Smithwick's second bingle brought in Goodrich with a totally unnecessary tally, and the Robins went out in order in the ninth.

THE, SAD PLIGHT OF THE ARMY

It was just recently that President Coolidge told the world that the American army, man for man, was as good as any on the earth, and that the nation could be well satis- fled at possessing such first class arm of defense despite it's limited numbers.
 The claim of Brigadier General Henry J. Reilly that it Is being all but ruined by so-called Coolidge economy may be one of two things: An actuality, with no congregations thrown in: or merely by way of starting another drive for an in- creased appropriation.
 We are inclined to take the gen. erals word for 1t until somebody equally competent proves the con- trary.
 The nation cannot permit under feeding of man or beast-for the general said even the army mules and horses were not being given their proper rations. As for the rank and file, if there are 1000 assertions a month, it would seem there is not only necessity for a larger appro- priation, more food and better hous- ing, but also for a congressional in- vestigation.

THE NEW PARISH SCHOOL

What with crowded condition in the school. and mysterious fire to contend with, Sacred Heart parish has much to think about during these blithesome days; but regard less of it all, there is every likeli- hood that the end will be the con- struction of a new parish building to cost s250.000, as the Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski has announced would take place
 The chief reason therefore is that the parish must furnish sufficient room for it's school pupils or con- tinue to permit a certain proportion of its pupils to gain their education at the public school. The parish manifestly prefers to furnish it's own school facilities, and as the will to proceed is manifest, this ultimately will eventuate when the handsome new building is constructed next year.
 The new building will be q valu- able accession to the city's school facilities and will do it's share to re- lieve the congested school situation If things continue as they are go- ing, the congestion parents have been worrying about will be a mat ter of memory within a few years

SEEING LATIN-ANERICA
 FROM THE AIR

The cruise of five American army planes over portions of Latin Amer ica has begun amid much anticipa- tory interest and excitement in that part of the hemisphere. Here is a trip that will do more for Latin American relations with the United States than most of the diplomatic notes and consular reports. Before the 20,000-mile trip is finished countless millions of people will be thinking in terms of pleasure of the trip of the Yankee planes; official dom along the route, with true and characteristic Latin courtesy and chivalry," will have feasted and fed the visitors until it is likely over eating will prove more serious than air currents and mountain ranges.
 If there is such a thing as "cementing good relations these airships ought to do 1t. It will be noted that even the Mexicans, in the midst of arguing about oil lands, are taking off sufficient time to give the Americans an enormous reception. We trust the food doesn't get too spicy, nor the drinks too strenuous.

 The New York Giants will have a attraction to Ruth, and Me Graw no doubt will sleep easier at night in the thought that he has a player able 10 draw at the gate something like Ruth does for the Yankees.
 Hornsby. according 10 the cards at the present time, is the gainer from the deal. His future at least is somewhat bound up with the management of the New York team if everything goes as might be an- ticipated. It all depends upon how he and McGraw get along. Tempera- ment is getting to be growing factor with star baseball players and nobody can tell in advance just how many chips the star performer is going to carry around on his shoul- ders. The managers have stimulated the star system and will have to worry along with the results the best they can.
