GdnleS Tn the Rotary Boys DaSe- . ball League and a single game in the Junior City League, were postponed yesterday because of wet grounds, but, We understand, the teams repre- senting the Y. M. c. A. and the Holy Cross Juniors, met as per scheduled and, without the aid of umpires or of scorekeepers, the game was play cd.
 President Berkowitz of the Junior City League. notified us yesterday afternoon that the game last night would be postponed. Whether this will be recognized as officially play ed or not, is a question.
 Two games will played this after noon in the Industrial League, one of them to decide the championship of the circuit.
 Buffalo, N. Y, champion of the eleventh region Tn the American Le- zion Junior Baseball League, is pair ed with Uniontown, Pa, in the play off for the eastern sectional games in Washington, D. C., this afternoon. After it's two appearances in this city, Buffalo has the backing of al- most all of the fans in this city.
 Bridgeport, it is said, plans to protest the Buffalo team because the claim is made that some of the Buff falo players were over age. This seems 10 us a case of sour grapes" but, according to the best informa- ton available, it is the usual trait of Bridgeport "sportsmen."
 Two games will be played tomor- row afternoon Tn the Rotary League. Willow Brook will meet Washington and Paradise will battle Smith.
 The Pirates and the Holy Crosses teams will meet in a City League | game next Saturday afternoon al Walnut Hill park. This game was postponed from week ago last Saturday. If the Holy Cross team l wins, it will be tied with the Bur ritts for first place in the league | and playoff will have to be staged | to decide the championship of the | circuit.
 The St. Matthew's German Luth, i cran team, which won the cham rionship of the Inter-Church soft | ho1I lo ct iob ha time in succession, has issued q chal- lcnge to the winner of the Indus trial soft ball league for a game or series of games to determine the soft ball supremacy of the city.
 The management of whichever 1 ttam wins the now stil undecided ! factory loop is requested to get in touch with Manager Edmund Prels- scr of the St. Matts. The game or games if played, must perforce be delayed until the industrial circuit has finished it's schedule, but a ser ics between the winners should prove interesting.
 The 1nterChurch league had unique weather this season. The schedule called for games every Monday night for 5 weeks, and not once did game have to be post poned on account of weather. This perfection must be something of a .ccord for baseball in New Britain, not in New England.

enCe.
 The active business of the after noon having been disposed of on the fairways and greens, the confer held sway. The Canadians style of play, for the double reason that he was the guest and had played the best game, held first place in the discussion.
 The golfng bugaboo, slicing, was opened up for debate. T never was troubled with that" said the man from Canada, but I almost always hook.' It had appeared so on the round just completed and yet the first part of his back swing went outside the line, which should have produced a slice.
 It was an unconscious tendency and he insisted that his take back was around his body. But he ad- mitted that he played his irons after that fashion so it was apparent how it crept into his tee shots.
 You fellows open the face of your irons" he analysed, while I close mine. Doing that, I will not slice even if l hit from the outside in.' It was curious theory but We had to admit that it worked in hls case for he had just shot a IT,
 The other medico took the floor, "The trouble I find with wooden clubs is that they are not heavy enough. A fl ounce driver feels as light as a feather in my hands" he announced. T pitched for my col- leSe nine and gained the reputation for being the strong man of the in stitution by my ability to lift weights. My hands and wrists are stlll much stronger than the aver age golf player. I batted with a heavier bat than the other ball players used and I would like d driver that weighed a pound."
 There being no such club avail able, the doctor had no opportunity to test the theory that he coull drive farther with a heavy wood. But the other medical man upheld the theory that better shots can be made with the lighter clubs than ' me of what splendid playing pro said the other day. Next season ' he told me, T am going to switch to lighter clubs. The ones I am using are too heavy. In experiment. ing. l find I get as much distance with lighter clubs and use up les. energy

WASHINGTON. April 12.-Ameri-
cas- reply to the Canadian protest
against sinking of the rum snug
gler I'm Alone has been prepared
and needs only Secretary Of State
Henry L. Stimson's approval to be-
come this governments formal de-
tense of the coast guard.
Two major points in Justification
Of the sinking are raised in the
lengthy document. the United Press
learned on good authority, and in
support of the coast guard the state
department has eXhauStively re-
viewed previous rum treaty ship
seizures.
One point in support of the
American Interpretation Of the
treaty. it is understood, deals with
the seizures during recent years OF
three other Canadian vessels, the
Vinces, the Gold Harbor and the
PeSCawha.
In each case the vcssel was halt
ed within the treaty Limit. fed and
was seized on the high seas. United
States courts approved the seizures.
Canada Didn't Protest
Especial Importance is attached
to the fact Canada did not protest
these incidents in which. according
to the state department, the prln-
cipIe involved was Identical with
that of the I'm Alone case.
Canada's failure to protest is IN
terpreted by the department as
tacit admission seizure on the high
seas under such circumstances is a
proper action.
Another major point understood

Borden suddenly became brisk and

den was familiar. HE should be

"No!" Borden was curiously vio-

It's an outrage that / have to fork

behind their spectacles, did not
fslter, however. Hadn't I better

With sudden resolution, which
had something exnltant and almost
divine about it, Crystal turned loose
the lamp, shut her eyes and, without
giving herself time again to. suffer
in anticipation the pain she was
about to inflict upon herself-dived
from the table, straight toward the
log of wood.
Her body crashed to the floor.
She had not miscalculated. Her
head struck the sharp, rough end
of the log. AS jagged, lightning
streak of pain shot through her
head, Crystal had time to realize
With infinite gratitude, that the
wound she had inflicted upon her.
self was above her forehead, where
the scar would not show. Then
came Inconsistencies, rather slow
ly, on heaving waves of nausea.
Crystal never knew how long she
lay there on the floor of the shack.
When she regained consciousness
and dragged her body, dizzily, to a
sitting position, she saw that the
candle had burned itself out and
that only few red eplbers were
left of the fire in the CRATE.
With infinite labor, because of re-
curing attacks of nausea. the girl
managed to roll and push into the
fireplace the log upon which she
had cut her head.
Exhausted. she lay beside the
hearth, her eyes watching duly as
the embers ignited the bark of the
log. At last she became aware that
her face was wet, that something
was trucking steadily down her
cheek.
She raised her hand; her fingers
came away dripping With blood. And
then Crystal laughed, weakly but
proudly. She vas not afraid of the
sight of blood any more!
