BRIGHTWOOD CLUB
 CALLS OFF GAME
Falcons to Play Diamond Match
 Co. Team on Sunday

The Brightwood A. c. baseball team of Springfield last night can- celled the game with the Falcons scheduled to be played at St. Mary's field in this city next Sunday aft ernoon. Confusion in dates was the reason given by the Springfield man. ager who stated that he had signed up previously for another game.
 Manager John Cabay of the Fal- cons immediately secured the Dia- mond Match Co. team of Springfield to play here Sunday afternoon. This team is equally as good an attrac- tion as the Brightwood outfit and. If anything. will furnish the Falcons with stiffer opposition.
 The lineup of the team contains the names of some very we'll known baseball players. Callahan starts off. He Is the left fielder and . clever ball hawk. ConIey the short stop was last years sensation with the Springfield high school. Four nier the third baseman Is heavy sticker besides being an efficient fielder. Coffey the catcher Is one of the mainstays of the team. He was formerly . member of the Jersey City International League club and he k an exceptional catcher.
 St. Pierre the center fielder. is a former star on the Georgetown uni- versity team. Sullivan the right fielder is the Babe Ruth of the club and is dangerous man at all times at the bat. B. Transchke at second base is one of the two brothers by that name. Barney is we'll known here as he played for years with the Willimantic team in the state league. Lynch at first base Is a clever initial sacker and will trouble the pitchers considerably. Jerry O'Connor the pitcher was with the Hartford club in the Eastern league last year for six weeks and is one of the fore most semi-pro twirlers in Springfield.
 With this aggregation to face, the Falcons will have to travel to keep up their streak of victories. Man ager Cabay received word this morning that Ginger" Cleary would be out of the game for at least two more weeks. He Is still in bed suf- fering from influenza. Russ Fish CT who twirled the Falcons to vic- tory over the Kensington team. will be in the box Sunday. 1t Is thought. This will be the only change in the Falcons lineup.
 The team will practice tomorrow night at o'clock at St. Mary's field. The squad was unable to get in a workout last night because of the rain and wet grounds.

CHANTS AGAIN STAND AT
 TOP OF NATIONAL LEAGUE
New Workers Blast Out Victory Over Cardinas-Phil- lies Score Win Over Chicago Cubs = Rain Settles Pittsburgh Braves Game In Tie-Robins Push Reds Further Into Cellar-Mack1hen Again Beat Detroit Yankees Down Browns White Sox Win

By the Associated Press
 Big league standings today showed the effects of something like base ball earthquake. The ravages were particularly severe in the National league where the Giants reappeared at the top of the heap in place of the Cardinals.
 While the Cards ended up in sec- ond place, the Chicago Cubs. who had been booming along in third po- sition, found themselves two steps below in fifth when the shaking down was over. The Phillies and Pirates advanced a rung apiece.
 All this was the outcome of a series of games between we'll matched rivals who were close to- gether in the percentage column.
 With their lead in the league at stake the world champion Cards put forward their best pitcher. Jesse Haines, against the Giants. Although Haines had won five straight games previously it took the Giant can- noneers just three innings to blast him out of the box on their way to- q 10 to 1 victory. Hornsby drove out a homer which made his total six for the year so far. Frank Frisch, the "Fordham Flash the Giants traded St. Louis for the rajah, was having harder luck and failed to make a hit.
 Another game which played havoc with the rankings was the Phllly victory over the Cubs. The heavy hitting Chicago clan was out-hit g to : this time and outscored, 5 to 2. Philadelphia's hits were punched and timely, especially double by ,eld Cy. Williams in the seventh which counted two runs.
 Rain which served at least to sSatle the dust on most of the fields, flooded out the Pittsburgh Boston game in the last of the eighth when the teams were locked at 4 to 4. Two of the Braves runs came in the nick of time just before the skies opened.
 At the bottom of the league. the Cincinnati Reds who were up at the top this time last year and finished second last fall. were pushed farther into the depths by Brooklyn.
 American league interest again was centered at Detroit where Tyrus Raymond Cobb celebrated his home- coming to the haunts of his old team, the Tigers. by helping his new team, the Athletics. beat them. The Mackmen made it two in TOW by getting a 5 to 1 verdict. One of the runs was scored singled-handed by the Georgia Peach who doubled. stole third, drew wild heave to the bag. and so went home.
 George Herman Ruth. whose talents come at a price even higher than Cobb's. aided his Yankees to 1 to 2 decision over the St. Louis Browns by skipping one of Ernie Meyers pitches for his eighth home run of the season with man on base
 For the Browns the defeat meant dropping back a step to seventh place.
 A to decision over the sena- tors was added to the winning streak of the White Sox who thereby staked stronger claim to second place, behind the Tanks.

Corbin Eaters to Help Meriden
 Meriden Team Pry on Lid at Han- :. over Park Sunday AfterEoon.

The Corbin. Red Sox baseball team of this city will face the Insilcos of Meriden at Hanover Park Sunday afternoon in the first game of the season to be played by the Silver City aggregation. The Insilcos have strong lineup of candidates and will furnish enough trouble for Johnny Tobin's men in the game.
 Charley Woodtke Is ccsching the Meriden squad. He is one of the vet e1an baseball stars of the Silver City and should be able to form a strong combination from among the candi- dates who have been trying out for the team.
 The game will be the second of the season for the Red soX, and al- though no definite announcement has been forthcoming. from Manager John Tobin. the same lineup prob- ably that started the season against the Riverview club of Norwich, will be in action against Meriden. Lefty Buckland will probably re- ceive the pitching assignment.

HORSES READY FOR
 KENTUCKY DERBY
Prohibition Agents to Make
 Event as Dry as Possible

Louisville, Ky. May IF R-It won't bs long now. said the hard boot" as he looked at the calendar and saw that Derby day was only two days away.
 But the Kentuckian. who now shares his Derby with the remainder of the country. was not the only one who had been watching the calendar.
 Special trains and prohibition agents have begun to arrive-over several roads. The first of more than 500 special cars is on the tracks here and the hotels are taking on that packed appearance indicative of Derby day.
 Kentucky, once famous for its beautiful women. fast horses and good whiskey. is going to have 8 superabundance of the first two, and serious shortage of the last-if thirty-five agents have their way.
 W. o. Mays. federal prohibition administrator for Kentucky and Tennessee, announced that every road and every bridge near Louis- vile is to be guarded in an attempt to head off streams of liquor head ed here from Chicago. Detroit and Florida for the Derby day crowds. Thirty-fve agents from throughout the district have been ordered to re- port here today.
 United States coast guards will be on duty on the Ohio river and the banks will be patrolled. Mays said.
 "The men will be instructed to arrest hip flask violators," the ad- ministrator declared, Derby day parties must be dry"
 All of the horses that will start in the historic old race are believed to be at Churchill Downs. A few eastern thoroughbreds that had been expected have not been shipped. in- solar as 1t was known here. Among these were the Rancocas Stables Cheops and Sweepster.
 But the west has enough here as 1t is. the "hardboot" believes, as he looks over his own states meagre supply of bang-up animals.
 About a score probably will go to the post Saturday. At present the field appears to consist of the E. R. Bradley trio. Bewithus. Boo and Buddy Bauer; H. P. ,Whitney's Bos- tonian and Valorous; w. J. Salmon's Black Panther; the Foxcatcher farms Filly Fair Star. Jock. owned by E. B. Mclean; Kiev and Osmand from the J. E. Widener stable; Roll ed Stocking. J. w. Parrish's western hopeful; Royal Julian. owned by w. H. Whitehouse; Sage stables Rip Rap, Mrs. Payne Whitney's Saxon and Scapa Flow. w. M. Jefford's Man O War colt.
 Also eligible are two more Brad ley runners-Birley M. c. and Bit O Love; McLean's War Eagle and Hydromel, and Nor easter from the stable of Johnson N. Camden, pres ident of the Kentucky Jockey Club, which chips in the added $30,000 for the Derby.
 Officials of the club expect the largest crowd that ever witnessed the outstanding contest on the American turf. Friends here of Frederico A. Perzet, former minister from Peru, were unable to obtain a box at the Downs for him. He is to be one of the many notables who will be here for the Derby.

POOR FIELDING IS
 CAUSE OF DEFEAT
New Britain High School Team
 Loses to Weaver

Crashing out 17 hits. five of which were for two bases, the New Britain High school baseball team would have scored an easy victory over Hartford If its work :n the field measured up to its offensive endea- vors, but eight errors cost 1t the game and its opponent, Weaver High school of Hartford. won by a 14 to II score.
 Each team used two pitchers fin the game. Havlick, who started for New Britain, turned the job over to Zaleski in the fifth inning, but he failed to go any better.
 The New Britain team started off with three runs in the opening ses- sion on heavy hitting ny Captain Matulis and Bromberg. Weaver made five runs in It's half of the inning. The score was increased to a 6 to 3 count in Weaver's half of the second inning. In the fourth inning New Britain made seven successive hits and then with two bases on balls and another hit brought in seven runs.
 Weaver made two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth to cCme within run of a tie. It scored two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth to make sure of the game.
 Garro. who was playing his first game with New Britain, was the star at the bat and in the field. He hit three hard bingles out of five times at bat and would have made "a fourth if a Weaver High outfielder had not made the feature catch of the day on it. He also made great catch in right field.

PRACTICAL versus ARM CHAIR
 EXPERT FISHERMEN"

During the month of May The Alaskan stated editorially that in dications in the fishery industry pointed to very poor season; t3e lack of salmon in the Stikine Riv- CT and the uncertain and peculiar run of king salmon had all the ear marks of the non-run of salmon. The Empire pointed with pride to the heavy operations and expense of the Packers in the spring pre- parations for the canning of sal mon The packers themselves were lulled into the belief of continued big runs of salmon and by the re- ported Amazing Increase" made by Secretary Hoover last August.
 The season has vindicated The Alaskan in it's statements as re- gards the unstable condition of the industry and lack of sufficient es- exponent of seed to spawning grounds. Those who fought the destructive methods employed by the canners were more the friends of the industry in particular and the Territory in general than the sub- sidized press which declared us to be radicals" Instead of radical ism we would declare The Alaskan. The Alaska Fishermen and their supporters to be of the real school of conservatism.
 Did the Bureau of Fisheries and the industry heed the warning note of Resident Practical Fishermen rather than to 'swivel-chair ex- perts', the industry would be in far healthier condition today and the future of the fishing industry would be insured.

shout with pride could at least ono crew operating for Petersburg say they had made wages this summer; Wrangell businessmen are wonder- ing how they will be able to carry the fishermen through the winter and the "City that packs the most salmon in the world" did not put up up as much as one cannery alone used to pack in normal years.
 On the other hand the most of the salmon pack in this year is the re- suit of trap fishing.
 then "too much gear" can mean but one thing-too many TRAPS.
