Senior High In
Year-End Game

The Brownsville Eagles put the
finishing touches on their baseball
year Friday afternoon by taking the
Saint Joseph academy nine for a ride
to the tune Of z to g.. Charlie San
tiago, twirling for the high school
team, allowed but one hit, and con-
tributed literally to his own cause
by some heavy swatting on his own
account. A home run was listed
among his collection OF bingles for
the afternoon.
The game was played on the high
school field, and. barring the first
inning when a whole collection Of
errors was perpetrated, the Eagles
played the classiest brand Of base
ball they have put up all season.

both factions were in the stands
when play was called. Red Irvine,
newly-named director Of athletics for
the entire school system, umpired
the contest.
Frank Rubarth. coach of the high
school nine. congratulated the boys
on their victory as the youngsters

SUB VICTIMS TRIED HARD

Evidence Revealed S-4 Of. hcers and Men Started
 to Chisel Way Out

BOSTON, Mass, March 22.- Mute evidence that at least some of the 40 entrapped officers and men aboard the submarine S-4 sought in vain to ehisel their way out of the steel tomb has been uncovered by the Naval Board.
 The oozy debris of the torpedo compartment gave up an assort- ment of cold chisels, hand wrenches and other patterning tools. while the motor compart- ment was scared and battered One spot showed clearly an at tempt had been made to chiscl through the steel hull
 Another disclosure was that the submarine salvage air linz was in working order. In a test it funetioned perfectly. Had the air line been connected in the carly hours before rescue work turned to salvage operations, the air could have been pumped into all parts of the S-4 and main tained life until monoxide reach cd the fatal percentage.

LONDON. March 22 Europe has ceased to be a bachelors paradise. Governments of Eng land and the continental countries are seeing to it that the phrase single blessedness' becomes but memory of the past
 A move in England to tax bach elors, which Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, is now considering. is the climax to general offensive which Europe has been conducting against the pockctbooks of the girl-shy.
 Great Britain is expectantly awaiting the presentation of the chancelIor's next budget, which will probably contain the bachelor tax. There are some 2,650.7 .746 bachelors of full age in England.
 If England passes the bachelor tax many famous men will come under it's provisions. The Arch bishops of York. Lord Balfour, Justice McCardie. Sir Philip Sas- soon. under secretary of air; Lord Revelstoke. director of the Bank of England, and the Bishop of London are all bachelors.
 Some of the English bachelors have great wealth and beautiful homes and estates, which make them all the more eligible in the feminine eye. The young Duke of Norfolk. who owns 50,000 acres; !; Sir Robert Horne, who occupies a dozen directorships, and Lord Va lentia, the premier barone. of Ire land, are among them.

WASHINGTON, March 22-For- mer Secretary of Interior Albert B.
