CHINESE JUNK IS
 HELD FOR INQUIRY
Annoy, Pleasure Craft, Later
 Freed by Coast Guard

New York. Aug. 10 LE9 - Coast guard boats have brought strange prizes back from their coastal for avs before now, but even habitues of the Battery stared and stared again today when patrol boat 1S0 escorted the dragon -colored Chinese junk Annoy up the bay.
 The Annoy, which was sailed across the Pacific in S7 days three years ago. was picked up "on sus- nese flag and with two young Chi nese on board who had no pass ports with them.
 After it was brought to America the 6S foot junk, which draws only four feet of water, was bought by Leroy Lewis, head of the H. J. Lewis Oyster company of Stratford Conn.,, as pleasure yacht. Early this spring the boat started out on a leisurely cruise under captaincy of Alfred Nilsson, author.
 Nilsson explained to coast guards that the Chinese flag had been flown just ito dress the boat up" on nearing a port and that the United States flag had been kept flying also. He said the Chinese, Choa Tank Skill and Chao Han Shih, were students at Harvard and a Boston technical school and that they would be able to produce pass ports.
 The junk, sails and all, is painted in brilliant primary colors and is decorated with dragons eyes. AL though retaining the outward ap- pearance of it's original state it has been fitted out with modern plumb ing and other conveniences.
 When investigation revealed that the Chinese of the junk were &C., tually students at Harvard and the Massachusetts institute of Tech nology, the Annoy was released.
 Bridgeport. Conn.,. Aug. 10 tP) = The two young Chinese whose presence aboard the Chinese junk Annoy aroused the suspicious of the coast guard authorities at New York with the resultant seizure of the strange craft, were aboard the Annoy when the craft arrived here from a cruise along the New Eng land coast two weeks ago. They came to Bridgeport with Captain Nilson upon his return from visits to New London. Providence, Bos- ton and other New England ports, explaining that they were spending the summer vacation on the cruise with the Annoy and intended to re- turn 10 their studies at Boston in the fall.
 The Annoy is now on a three year cruise of the world, on which Nilsson. together with his wife and the crew, expect to circumnaNgate the globe. Before starting across

JOE KENNEDY LETS CAT OUT OF BAG
Continued from First Page)

though Joe" is too good a traffic cop to be rated a detective, it would not hurt his standing with the con- missioners a bit If he brought in the red hot tip on case of this kind.
 Approaching the bag, the officer and his informant were attracted by signs of life within it. It actually moved It was almost walking off. Oh. let's hope it is not the dying struggle of the poor babel! Hurry, officer. hurry!!! We may bring it out alive!!!!
 Well, Joe" did not have a knife in his pocket, so he could not rip open the bag, and seconds became torturous minutes as he slowly un- wound the wire that was fastened tightly about its neck. Now there was but another strand to be un- fastened, and then Out it jumped! How could a babe small enough to fit inside bag jump after being almost smothered all the time it took to discover it? Huh! A babe very likely couldn't, but, you see, this turned out to be a big, homely cat, with not even one of it's proverbial nine lives missing, and the last seen of it it was scamper- ing off down Church street. If it maintained the speed it started off at it was home and had several mice under it's belt, with plenty of milk for a wash" before its mistress surprised as she must have been reached the street she lives on.

HOT CONTEST TO Be.
STAGED HERE TODAY.

FerguSOn'S effectiveness with men
on bases, coupled with Underwoods s
generosity, were the two main rea-
sons why the Blues lost Fridays
opener with Juarez, the visitors win
ming the game, Z to 8.
Underwood pitched beautifully for
three innings. In the fourth inning,
after two were down. with Arzate on
third as the result of single, walk
and a sacrifice, Underwood walked
three men in a row. After forcing
one man in and with the bases still
full, Minjarez singled, scoring two
more.
In the Blues half of the same in
ming it looked as though they would
stage rally and overcome the lead
the Indians had piled up. With one
out, Weaver, Chase and Chester sin
gled in succession, Weaver scoring.
Brandenberg then hit to Antista, who
obliged with very timely error, fill
ling the bases. Pereyra was unequal
to the occasion and popped to Carri-
zozo
Chester and Weaver pulled a nice
play in the fourth inning, when
Chester threw to Weaver, trapping
Murato off second Buck chasing him
to third, which was occupied by Ar
zate What Arzate said to Murato
on this play was not made public.
Juarez added two more in the fifth
on four singles by Arzate, Murato
Carrizozo and Ferguson. The Blues
still full of fight, came right back
with two more in their half. After
Ind oil cd fn loft
and went to third base on a wild
pitch. Weaver singled, scoring Lind
say. Chase connected for his second
triple, scoring Weaver. Chester was
out at first and Chase, for the third
successive time, was left stranded at
third.
Juarez added two more in the sixth
Jonz opened the inning by doubling
to right. Bjorquez patiently waited
and walked. Arzate sent a sacrifice
fly to Brandenberg, JONI moving tc
third. Murato singled, scoring JONI
Carrizozo sent a fly to Storey, but
Ferguson singled to right, scoring
Bjorquez.
Another golden opportunity for the
Blues bobbed up in the eighth. Herb
streith, the first man up, walked
Brandenberg sent a long fly over cen
ter which JONI pulled down for q
sparkling catch. Pereyra singled. Un-
derwood then walked, filling the
bases. Storey and Lindsay, however
could not deliver, the former hitting
to first who threw home, cutting off
Herbstreith, while Lindsay was thrown
out at first by Minjarez. This was
the Blues final effort. Although the
heavy artillery, weaver Chase and
Chester, came up in the ninth, they
went out in order.
AS usual, Weaver and Chase were
the leading hitters for Douglas,
Weaver getting three singles out OF
three times at bat, and Chase two
triples and a single. Pereyra got two
singles.
Arzate and Murato were the wreck
ing crew for the Indians, with three
hits each, and Minjarez, Jonz, Car
rizozo and Ferguson each connected
safely twice.
The same teams play again this
afternoon at p. m. Seaton and Muir
