BEGLEYS PETS TROUNCE
 PLAINYILLE FINANCIERS
Spring lS Buckley Team With the Aid of Flashlights, Take
 Classic : to 2

The championship game between the Spring & Buckley's Hot Shots (New Britain's finest led by Nom Begley) and the Plainville Business Men was finally played last night in Plainyille with the result that there is many store in Plainville today with a crepe hanging out. Seven furious innings were played at the Plainville sports emporium.
 Adamaitis and Hayes furnished the barrage of Spring & Buckley while Bill Cunningham rolled them up to Billy Downham for the Biz ness Men, There isn't any doubt but what the game was the best Plainville has seen In years. Spring & Buckleys started out rather auspiciously (that was sent in by Begley) by scoring two runs in the opening frame and they continued to pile them up from then on. The Plainville store keepers had few bad breaks but nevertheless made Begley's hardskulls know they were in a game all the time.
 The most potent reason for Plain- ville's loss might be said to be the absence of Captain Ralph Thrall, pill dispenser and Mickey" Levine, win ner of last years meat cutting con- test. Francis Begley, the 16-year- old prodigy played like a veteran, Darkness came down so rapidly that the final innings had be to played "Neath the Harvest Moon.'
 That was where Spring & Buck Ieys showed their resourcefulness because flashlights were distributed to the players by Art Swanson. He'll try to collect for them today. The winners consider this victory a fine feather in their caps as 1t was the hardest game of the season. They hope to have the pleasure of giving the Trumbull town business men a fine lacing early next season. Spring & Buckley's lineup follows: Begley ab; Dudack If; Francis Joseph Sheehan Of: NJ Hayes c: Smith If; F. Begley ss: C.. Spring Sb: Adam aitis D and Swanson, waterboy. The score:
 Spring & Buckley 2l0o4-7 Plainville B. M. .. 0020o-2 ?

the Washington Government has re-
ceived no intimation of a formal
French request for a change in the
provisions.
While news reports from Paris in
dictate that Finance Minister Caillaux
is displeased with article 7 of the
agreement, which provides that the
United States may demand that
France issue bonds for payment
which are saiable on the stock mar
ket, the view was expressed that this
provision must stay in the agreement.
1t was explained that France ac-
cepted its loan with the understand
ing that the United States could sell
French obligations given in payment
for it. The first liberty loan act,
under which funds were subscribed
for loan to France. also provided
that foreign obligations could be taken
in payment and sold in this country.
The article provision is in every
other debt agreement made by this
country, but has never been used.
and. 1t was declared, there is little
likelihood that it will be used.
II debt negotiations are reopened
with France, officials said, it would
have to be on the basis that new evil
dence had been found for q change
in the settlement. The United States
Government has not been apprised
of any new evidence.

SMITH REMAINS SILENT
ON RACE FOR GOVERNOR
New York Executive Addresses
Utica Democrats Without
Giving Decision.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
UTICA, N. Y, June 29.-The silence
which has characterized the attitude
of Gov. Smith regarding nomination
for the Office Of chief executive this
Fall remained unbroken last night
when he addressed Oneida County
Democrats at a testimonial dinner to
Edwin Corning, chairman Of the Dem
ocratic State committee.
Despite urgent pleas Of prominent
party leaders who came here for the
dinner and a virtual demand by Mr..
Corning in a brief address that the
Governor run, there was no word that
the request would be needed. Instead
the governor devoted his full address
to an outline of issues to be put for
ward by his party at the Fall election.
Although no part of the governors
address gave definite indication that
he would be a candidate again, all of
the State leaders who attended the
dinner believed that he would consent.

MODIFICATION CHANCES SLIM.
Attempt to Liberalize Terms Would
Cause Trouble, Officials Say.

Little prospect Of modification of
the Franco-American war debt fund
ing agreement to meet objections
which have arisen in Paris is seen
by administration officials here.
Not only has the House already
ratified the agreement, 1t was pointed
out by Treasury officials, but even
in it's present form it faces opposi-
ton in the Senate that would appear
to make any liberalization of its
terms most difficult.
The French objections were brought
to the attention Of officials here
through press reports, and thus far
