Often 1t takes an actual happen ing to point out the defect in a rule regarded as fool-proof when made.
 Up until recent years, if the um- pire was hit by a thrown ball after an inflelder had made a play on a batted ball and was attempting to retire the batter, the ball immedi- ately became dead and the play started all over again.
 Here is the freak play that caused a revision of the rule. Had it not been changed the umpires would probably have had to wear suits of armor.
 Eddie Collins and Jack Barry, then starring at second and short for the Philadelphia Athletics, pulled the play. however. without any malice aforethought.
 The game was played at New York. One of the New York bat ters, with two out and runners on second and third hit a hard drive through the pitchers box that looked like a base hit.
 Eddie Collins made remarkable play on the ball but was in no posi- ton to throw. Sensing the situa- ton, he tossed the ball to Shortstop Jack Barry who was equally alert.
 Making a hurried throw to first in an effort to retire the batsman, Barry hit Umpire Bill Dinneen in back, as he raced over to first to get better view of the play.
 Both runs scored on the play and the batsman reached second. New York yelled murder when the um- pires sent the runners back to their original bases, second and third, and made the batsman hit over.
 The game was protested but the umpires had rendered the correct decision according to the playing code and were upheld.
 It was apparent the rule was bad one. It made the umpires d target for smart infielders. In a critical spot. where it was prac- tically certain there was no chance of getting the batter. all that was necessary to start the play over was to hit the umpire with the ball.
 The rule was changed at the urgent insisterce of the umnires The ball is now considered in play if it hits an official.

League Standing

The Stanley Works baseball team with the P. & r. Corbin outfit last night when it defeated the Fafnir crew in hard fought game at Wal nut Hill park in the New Britain Industrial league. Landers had an easy time of it in disposing of the lowly Union Works in the second game of the evening.
 Stanley Works Win
 Headed by Jim Scott, the ace of its twirling staff. the Stanley Works team won tough battle from the Fafnir team by the score of to 2. The Butt Makers played sweet brand of baseball, hit the ball time ly and. taking a lead at the start, held it to the finish.
 Scott was in rare form again last night. He breezed the ball past the Bearing Makers and turned in eight strikeouts. He was entirely too much for his opponents after the first inning. He issued one pass in 
 wildness in this frame.
 Bill Ferguson. who was on the mound for the Fafnirs, was touched up for IS hits in the nine innings He passed three batters and these with the hits, lead to number of scores.
 The Stanley Works batters did most of their damage when two hands were out and they were su- perior at all times with the stick.
 Three runs, which alone were enough to win, were the first runs scored by Stanley Works. Snyder hit the first ball pitched over second for a single. Gaida forced him at sec- ond but was safe at first. He stole second. Green walked and Lipetz mussed up Parsons grounder to fill the bases. Dick Schroeder tripled to right center and cleaned the sacks.
 In their turn at bat, Fafnirs came back to score two. Paulson with one out singled over second. Pelletier threw wildly to first on Fergusons grounder and Paulson took third. klatka drove one at short and al- though Green knocked it down, the ball got away from him and two runs scored. Elton followed with a single but the side was retired with, out further scoring.
 The Workers picked up two more, one in the fourth and another in the fifth In the eighth. Gaida and Par sons singled in a row and Dick Schroeder singled to left for two more runs. Grail and Schroeder led the Butt Makers at bat while KlatSa and Elton led the Bearing Makers. The summary:

Government Trying
to Prove Sinclair
Owned continental

Washington, Oct. 31.-lP-The
prosecution in the Teapot Dome oil
conspiracy case plugged persistently
along today in its effort to show
that Harry F. Sinclair was connected
with the Continental Trading COM
pany, Ltd, Of Canada, through
whose profits it charges $3.50, 500 in
liberty bonds reached the hands of
Albert B. Fall.
Through documentary evidence
and witnesses, Gwen j. Roberts, gov
eminent counsel, continued to trace
out the organization Of the company
which he claimed was formed mere
~ to take a profit on oil purchased
from the late A. E. Humphreys Of
Denver for $3.50 a barrel and sold
to- other companies, including Sim
clair's own company, for $1.75.
"The Continental company was a
mere shell, gotten up by these
gentlemen for their own purposes"
Roberts asserted.
Former Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO and H. L. Phillips, president Of
the Sinclair crude oil purchasing
company, were put on the stand by
Roberts in pursuing his inquiry and
a succession Of contracts and other
documents were identified in line
with the governments purpose to
show that Sinclair was interested in
the Continental and the liberty
bonds purchased from its profits
and some Of which Fall is accused
of accepting for leasing the naval oil
reserve to Sinclair.

Margery Maxwell, Soprano of
Chicago Opera Company,
and Harry Farbman, Noted
Violinist, Give Most Enjoy.
able Program at City Audi
forum Saturday Night

Music lovers of Bismarck were
afforded a. rare opportunity Satur-
day evening when Margery Maxwell,
soprano, and Harry Farbman, vio-
linist, were presented in concert at
the city auditorium. Both are ar
fists OF renown, bringing to Bis
marck music which will not be soon
forgotten.
Margery Maxwell of the Chicago
Civic Opera company possesses a
lyric soprano voice Of a lovely quail
ity. In her first group of songs
Miss Maxwell displayed her unusual
voice range and true pitch. The en-
tire group brought out the singers
versatility OF artistry, as she first
sang the difficult Care Selve" by
Handel, two equally difficult ltal-
ian numbers, and then the fresh
and sparkling Spring" by Henschel.
In "Caro Nome," from Rigoletto,
Miss Maxwell proved her skill as a
coloratura soprano. Her tones were
flawless and her high notes flute
like. At all times her singing was
with an ease that was refreshing to
her audience.
Miss Maxwell closed her program
with a colorful group which brought
out the rich resonance Of her voice
and her fine Interpretation. In ap-
pearance Miss Maxwell delights her
audience with her beauty, grace Of
movement and animation of youth.
Harry Farbman quite held his au-
dience spell-bound. He has all of
the qualities OF mature artist, a
finished technic, the mechanism of
which he completely hides by his
mastery of tone and Interpretation
Of emotions.
Farbman opened his program with
Mendelssohn's Concerto in E Minor,
one of the most difficult concertos
written for the violin. Each move
ment offered an opportunity for ex-
hibition of musical values; the AL
legro, motto appassionato, displayed
suave, lovely tones; the Andante
more skill Of technique, and the last
movement brilliance and achieve
ment in fleet and accurate notes.
TIL AVA Maria" was Farbman's
uIOot RJOoSAu6 uuMOCIs 14IS AAClIOW
resonant tones were truly prayers,
and he completely fascinated his
audience with phrasing which was
vibrant with pathos. Much the same
effect was produced in the Hebrew
Melody" with its minor theme,
played with an artistry of inter-
probation which balanced between
restraint and passion.
Farbman's technical skill was
given play in the lighter numbers,
"Guitarre," Chinese Tambourine
Dance" and Caprice Basque" In
tricate bowings, silyer-pure har-
monies and some remarkable work
with double stops were outstanding.
Under the spell of his artistry,
Harry Farbman completely DISCUSSES

Chicago, Oct. al tAP) Ill
fluenced by a big increase OF the
United States visible supply total
wheat reacted in the late dealings
today after scoring a sharp advance.
Argentine frost reports were chiefly
responsible for the temporary up
turn. On the other hand, the do
nestle visible supply was enlarged
3,2S.s 5000 bushels for the week. and
is now SS,29O,000 bushels against
12,034,000 bushels a year ago.

to is cent up and provisions un-
changed TO a setback of 50 cents.
Unusual sensitiveness to southern
hemisphere weather and crop reports
showed itself in the Chicago wheat
market today, and other factors
were given comparatively slight
notice. In addition to fresh reports
of some frost in Argentina implying
damage possibilities there, dis
patches were at hand saying that
the premier Of New South Wales,
Australia, anticipated yield of only
100000 bushels in his territory
compared with 37,000,000 bushels a
year ago.
Decided strength which developed
in the Liverpool market today did
much to give the advantage at times
to the buying side Of the market
here. 1t was pointed out. however,
that the advance shown in closing
quotations at Liverpool was only
equal to Saturdays upturn in Chi
cago, and took no account of today's
advance nero.

Market Stages Brisk Recovery
Despite Sitter Call
Money Rates

New York, Oct. 31.-(P)-Despite

Of any important trade news, stock
prices staged another brisk recovery
today under the leadership of the
high-priced industrials. A few is
sues, Of which the floating supply is
small, were marked up five to 10
points, while gains of two to four
points were scattered throughout the
list. Trading was only moderately
heavy in volume.
Banks called about $15,000,O00 in
loans, presumably in preparation for
the heavy first Of the month cur
rency demands. The first "a rail-
roads to report their September
earnings showed aggregate net oper-
ating income Of 6.53 per cent below
that Of the corresponding month last
year.
Pools resumed activities in a num-
Der of specialties.
American Machine and Foundry
was run up nearly 10 points, and the
American Tobacco issues and War

points, all to new high records. Ros-
STA Insurance. which broke more
than 20 points Saturday, recovered
about half the loss in today's trad
ing.

spond to the unusually favorable
