SUBMITS BIT OF VERSE FROM
TENNYSON'S WORKS

To the Editor:
Sir: Will you please publish in
your paper the inclosed verses from
Tennyson's "Locksley Hall"?
This poem was written over one
hundred years ago, but prophetic of
the times. Respectfully,
NETTIE CONNELL.
Rochester, n. Y, June 10, 1927.
For 1 dipt into the future, far as
human eye could see,
Saw the visions of the world. and all
the wonder that could be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce,
argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, drop
ping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting
and there rained chastity drew
From the nations airy navies, grap-
pling in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper of
the south wind rushing warm,
With the standards of the peaple
plundering through the thunder
storm;
Till the war-drum thrObbed no lon
ger, and the battleflags were
furled
In the Parliament of men, the Fed
Grafton of the world.
There the common sense of most
shall hold a fretful realm in
awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber,
lapt in universal law"

Bread and Butter Letter

A bread and butter letter is a note
written by departed guest to his
late host or hostess expressing
thanks and appreciation for the
entertainment and hospitality ex-
tended. 1t takes it's name from the
fact that hospitality is frequently
spoken of as bread and butter"
According to the etiquette sharks, a
bread and butter letter should be
posted within 48 hours of the guests
departure. The term is particularly
appliable to letter written to a
friend after spending a few days at
his home.

didn't mean to help the fellow who
helps himself to something that be-

M|LL|GAN Meets
WALKER TONIGHT
MddeVdeht Champion and
SCotChman Battle 20 Rounds

London, June 30 R - Sometime
between $3.50 and 10 o'clock tonight,
Mickey Walker. American middle
weight champion. and Tommy Mill.
gan Of Scotland will step into the
ring at the Olympia amphitheater
for their 20 round bout to decide
the championship of the world.
Both men were In excellent condi-
ton today and each professed con-
f.dence In victory. The cut over the
eye which Walker received in 4
practice bout several days ago has
healed and his trainer and manager
declared 1t was not likely to give
further trouble.
The prospects Of the men are dis
cussed at great length by the experts
who believe for the most part that
tho result will be fairly open. Some
who have seen both fighters in train
ing, however, say the outcome will
depend on how long the fight lasts.
arguing that the longer 1t goes the
greater are Milligan's chances of a
victory: that If 1t goes the full 20
rounds, the Scotchman probably will
get the verdict on points. On the
other hand, there are others who be-
lieve that Walker will try for a
knockout early and are not sure that
Milligan will be able to guard
against one Of Walkers left hooks
should the American get good
chance. In such case. they think
the fight may end quickly in Walk
er's favor.
Reviewing Walkers performances
against Pete Latzo. Joe Dundee and
Tiger Flowers and citing criticisms
made In the United States on the
Jerseyite's showing in those fights.
experts here set against them the
fact that Milligan has never been
thoroughly tested and nobody knows
how good he is. 1t Is pointed out
that while he lacks Walkers expert
ence, Is impetuous and sometimes
is liable to get ratified, il he keeps
control OF himself and can stay.
every succeeding minute Of the fight
should bring him nearer victory, for
they argue that he Is a better boxer
than Walker. and is speedier with
his feet and hands.
The betting overnight continued
about even.

The Junior City Baseball league
got off to flying start last night at
o'clock at Walnut Hill park when
the Golfers swamped the Y. NJ. c.
A. under a 10 to score. Mayor
Gardner c. Weld formally opened
up the league by throwing the first
ball for perfect strike. Commits
sioner James J. Naughton. baseball
representative Of the Public Amuse-
ment Commission. was on hand to
witness the start Of the latest recre-
alton movement Of the hustling
municipal body.
The Golfers present strong team
against a rather disjointed and dis
organized Y. NJ. C. A. team. Three
pitchers were used by the losers in
an attempt to stem the tide, but the
Golfers hit hard in almost every in
ming.
Switches in the playing positions of
the ~" team brought some feeling
or orderliness from the chaos of the
first few innings and had the Golfers
not scored II runs In the first two
frames, it would have been tight
baseball game all the way through.
Meligonis who started for the Y.
NJ. c. A. nine lasted until he had
walked the first three men. He was
then yanked in favor Of Hultberg
who was going along In nice shape
until SkoniecZny drove a liner at
him that all but ripped the pitch
er's hand off and he had to retire
from the box. Lehman took his place
and gave a very good account Of
himself.
Golas, pitching for the Golfers,
showed d world Of stuff and with
a real ball club playing nicely be-
hind him, he allowed only two hits.
He had d fast ball and u nice curve
that batfled the opposing batters at
almost every turn. He struck out
eight men besides this and walked
six.
The Golfers got to Meligonis and
Hultberg for six runs In the open

scored in the second with two err
rors and considerable loose fielding
accounting for several of them. They
scored another in the fifth and four
in the sixth. The game was called
in the seventh on account of dark
ness.
~" team scored one in the first
on two errors and q walk. They got
two in the third on two singles and
wild pitch. They got their third
when Golas forced man in on a
walk with the bases filled.
Skonieczny, former star OF the
Washington team in the Rotary
league, was the hitting star of the
game. He got four solid smacks out
of five times up. One Of them was
a triple which he tried to stretch to
a homer only to be caught at the
plate and another was triple. The
entire Collier team played nice ball.
The fielding feature of the game
was turned in by V. MATHS with an
unassisted double play. The MATHS
brothers starred in the field for the
losing team. The summary:

League Standing

The Stanley Rule & Level base
ball team went into 3 tie for third
place in the New Britain Industrial
league last night when 1t defeated
the Russell & Erwin team In a post
poned game at Walnut Hill park.
The contest was free hitting AZ
fair With the Rulers coming out on
top by a score OF II to 8. The win
ners piled up big lead In the
early innings and 1t was mainly
through this that they were able to
come through with q win.
Billy Wolfe. twtrling for the Rul-
ers and AL Blanchard. serving them
up for the Russwins, were hit hard
at times. The Russwins came with
In reach Of the Rulers In the eighth
when they hit the ball to all cor
ners OF the lot but they fell short Of
tie. In the ninth, they again
threatened but Wolfe frightened up
and retired the side.
The Russwins carried off the
heavy hitting honors. Two homers,
one by Schneider and another by
Link. featured. Jack Argosy and
Joe Jervis carried the hitting bur-
den for the winners but 1t was main
ly through the misplays OF the Russ
wins that the Rulers were enabled
to win.
The Russwins started the fire
works in the first inning but the
Rulers soon overlook them. Simon's
muff Of Blanchard's grounder gave
the Russwin pitcher life in the
first. Al went 10 second when Simons
heaved the ball wildly. Then he
scored on a poke to center field.
Then the team subsidized into a
peaceful slumber until the seventh
when the players opened up with
everything they had. The camp of
the Rulers received a real scare In
this frame. With two out In the
first. Jack Argosy opened with
single to center sending Joe Jervis
in with the winning run after he
had walked and stolen second.
Argosy scored when Campbell's
grounder was booted. In the lead
once, the Rulers were never head
ed.
Thorstesen singled to center in
the second and completed the trip
when Wolfe's fly ball was dropped
in left. The Rulers big inning was
the fifth when they scored three
runs. Two hefty bingles coupled with
several Russwin errors told the
story. In the next three innings. the
winning team scored five more runs
and enjoyed a comfortable lead I'M
til the finish. The summary:

the Pittsburgh Pirates, considered by
many experts as the best in the
game, has had most unusual
record In his brief career as a big
Lacquer. ..
Wright was Aecured by Pittsburgh
from Kansas City for delivery in
1928. However, he requested that
he be allowed to spend another year
in the minors being Of the opinion
that he wasn't quite ready. 1t was
granted and Wright profited greatly
thereby. When he Joined the
Pirates he was finished ball player.
In his first year in the majors. the
season of 1924. he established an
unusual feat for a recruit, playing
in every inning OF the 1853 games in
which he took part.
Incidentally. in his first year as
big Lacquer, he set major league
record for assists for shortstop.
handling SCI chances. The Ameri-
can league record Is $50. made by
Terry Turner Of Cleyeland in 1906.
In his second year as big Lacquer
he Joined the hall OF fame in base
ball by being one OF the very few
major league ball players to ever
make triple play unnssisted.
The unusual happening came at a
most opportune time. With the
score standing 1919 in favor of
Pittsburgh in the first Of the ninth
st. Louis had Cooney on second and
Hornsby on first with none out.
Things looked bad for the Pirates.
Then came the big thrill.
Bottomley hit a liner to Wright,

then touched out Hornsby. who was
racing towards second, ending the
game.
