Mir. Fosters reply is as follows: August 24, 1927

MT. Fosters reply is as follows: August 24, 1927 My Dear Sir
 The situation is complicated. As the play took place it seems to me that it would have been advisable had you informed the umpire-in- chief of all the particulars, in fact were bound to do so when you felt compelled to make a decision upon the runner who had gone from sec- ond to third.
 Then if the umpire in chief were satisfied that the catcher had not held the ball long enough to con- stitute an out and that the runner had interfered he might have called the latter out. There is no doubt that the umpire should have pun ishsd this runner for an unsports- manlike and illegal play
 There seems to have been no in terfererce regarding the following play. The runner would not have gone to third had he not been urged to do so. He should have been sent back to second.
 Most of all the runner who seems to have scored should have been called out as you describe the play,
 Sincerely,
 JOHN B. FOSTER.
 Umpire Crowleys version of the play is as follows:
 Sporting Editor,
 New Britain Herald,
 New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Sir:-This is a request 10 you that you afford me further space in your sporting column that I may be given an opportunity to ex- press. my personal opinion as re- gards the play in question, and fela- tive to which We have read the opinions of Billy Evans and John B, Foster. It seems to me that be- cause of the difference of thought expressed in the two opinions of men so creditably associated with base ball that another opinion on the same matter will not detract any, thing from their knowledge of the game if it does not add to mine.
 Following is my quotation of the play as I actually saw it, with my ruling on it, and the thought that gave father to my action: Two men are out in the last half of the fifth inning of the game in question. Run ners are situated on first and third bases. The runner on first attempts to steal second and a throw from the catcher is returned by the second baseman to catch the runner on third who in the meantime has tried to score. No play was made on the man advancing to second. The rum ner was declared safe at home after to the plate. The ball was resting the catcher had dropped the throw six inches forward of the body of the runner. apparently out of vision of the umpire in- chief and the catcher. The runner at this stage put out his left hand, seized the ball and thrust it under his body, waving to the runner at second with his right hand to advance to third. At this point I ruled the runner out who was advancing from second to third base. My reasons for this de- cision are as follows: The play at home was completed. By the action of the runner in handling the ball and waving the runner to advance a play that was apparently not possi- ble was started. Because the ball was hidden by the runner a prob- able out or at least play was made impossible. In my opinion the fielding team was denied fair chance to play on the man advanc-

SEES EMPLOYER AND
LABOR DRAW CLOSER

WASHINGTON. April 11.-A spirit
of cooperation between employer and
employe is increasingly evident in
the industrial world, says the Fed
eral Council of Churches handbook,
made public today.
"EmplOye representation has grown
until approximately 900 concerns
with million workers are using
democratic methods in solving the
problems of industrial relations as
they arise in the daily operation Of
mills and mines," the statement con-
tinues. I'm several of our more i'm.

four millions of workers employers
and regular labor unions are now
working with reasonable harmony
and efficiency.

"The day of the docile organiza-

"The churches" it declares. must
stand for an industrial order which
is democratic in it's ideal. human in
its methods and cooperative in it's
spirit"
Discussing employe representation,
the handbook, which is published
every two or three years. holds that
"labor's solidarity is not sacrificed
by any of their regulations and it
comedies the principle of recognition
to organized labor"
Free and intelligent cooperation
affords the only sure foundation for

before single vessel OF the Con
tnental Navy went to sea, the first
and original company of Continental
Marines was tentatively brought
into existence.
The Marine Corps was established
by an act Of the Continental Con-
gress dated June 25. l776. After
the close of the American Revolu.
ton the Navy was practically abol.
ished, and, with other branches of
tie services. the Marine Corps dis
appeared. In 1898 the Marines
again were authc rized under the re-
organization of the Navy with a
strength of sSl officers and men.
Throughout the first three-quar-
ters of the nineteenth century tho
Marines played a most important
part in naval operations on tie Bar
barry Coast, the War of 1912 and the
Civil War. During the Spanish.
American War they again proved
their incalculable value as an ad-
junct to the military expeditionary
forces which accompanied the sew.
