The Senecas are without a game for tomorrow following a telephone call late last night from the manager of the St. Stanislaus baseball team of Meriden. The Silver City team is to play the Insilcos in the second game for the championship of Meri- den.
 This cancellation is a keen disap- polntment for the local crew as it was all primed for a real battle in he Silver City tomorrow.
 The Sokols and the Holy Cross cam will battle tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at Willow Brook park according to late notification today.
 If ever there were better baseball games being played in local leagues in this city than this season, we have never seen them. The contests, especially, that are being staged in he Industrial league are among the best we have ever seen anywhere.
 Last night a to 0 battle won by Stanley Works over the Fafnir crew, was one of the most bitter battles yet fought in the circuit. A f1uke home run by Parsons gave the Mutt makers their lone run which was enough to win.
 IT. L, oh,1 will Sfa ri next week it's bi-weekly practice ses- sons in preparation for the two games with the Meriden department team. Manager Tommy Dolan has planned two sessions each week, every Tuesday and Thursday after- noon at 2 o'clock at Willow Brook park.
 It is expected that all the old timers will be out working for the team while Manager Dolan expects to get additional strength from the ranks of the. supernumeraries who have been appointed since the last series.
 The first game thls year Will De played in Meriden. at Hanover park on August 21, while the second Will be staged at Willow Brook park Tn this city on August oS.
 For the benefit of those managers who might not have received notlfl- cation of the proposed meeting to start plans for the playoff for the city baseball championship, we re- peat that meeting will be held in the Herald office Tuesday evening at o'clock All the managers of teams interested, are invited to attend.
 Three games are scheduled this afternoon in the City Baseball league and it is expected that there will be some changes in the standing after they are over. At the present time, the Burritts are leading the league. Whether they will lose today or not is a question that will be de- cided at Walnut Hill park this after noon.

e"i The Western Union and Postal oc- cupied one end of the room and rough board tables down the sides and in the center of the one story building accommodated the writers.
 In. one corner sat an operator who received the scores over field telephones located every three holes on the course. An assistant posted each contestants score on board for the information of the reporters. Scores were checked against the players cards as soon as the rounds were completed. Another board in front of the club house kept the spectators informed.
 In some eases runners employed by the newspapermen, supplemente1 the information received at press headquarters. Men stationed out on the court sent in detailed accounts of the play of the leading players.
 The running accounts of the rounds published in the afternoon edition of the New York papers was written in the press building by men and women who did not see a stroke of play.
 They pounded out their stories on portable typewriters provided by the Associated Press, dressing up. their stories with touches of imagination
 Their necessity was to write golt news while 1t was 'hot." But ac- counts written in this way often lack the information the average golfer wants. He would like to read what clubs were used, how shots were played and from what kind of lies. With star" writers far from the scene of action, it was of course out of the question for them to include such detail. And even reporter following, as closely as he was al- lowed, the play of Jones or Espinosa could not always say just what iron | was used for the long approaches.

Foreign Minister BRAND.

1t Is good news that reaches Europe
and the world today, that Aristide
BRAND has accepted the post of foreign
minister in the new French cabinet.
Under the premiership of Edouard
Daladier. M. BRAND resumes the port
folio he held in the ministry of which
he himself was the chief until a week
ago.
Thus ends the latest Partisan cabinet
crisis, or at least that phase of 1t which
is of paramount Importance to countries
outside Of France. From the stand
point of French internal politics, M.
Brands willingness to Join the
Daladier government is significant be-
cause it assures the new premier the
support Of the moderate Socialist group
in the Chamber Of Deputies. It's
adhesion gives M. Daladier q slender,
but working, majority.
M. Brands refusal to smart and sulk
under the huke parliamentary rebuke
his own government recently suffered,
whereby he was required to relinquish
AbAS NACfSAIAA hldkLlllICo Ills
reputation as q statesman. Except as
the mercurial exigencies of French
politics demand 1t, Aristide BRAND
seldom thinks in local terms. His vision
ranges far beyond the Quai dOrsay
and the Place de la Concorde. It en-
compasses the globe. Its objective is
world peace.
At no moment in cotemporary his
tory could Brands conciliatory hand
be less spared than now. The cause of
international understanding, which he
has so genuinely at heart, has just lost
potent paladin In Gustav Stresemann
Of Germany. Only within the past few
months. Stresemann, BRAND and Mac
donald were bracketed as the three
musketeers Of peace In Europe, which
connotes the peace of the world.
M. BRAND retains the helm in France.
1t is a key steering-post. 1t is well
that the co-author Of the Kellogg pact
remains there.

Airport Service Held
Sign of u. S. Interest

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The extraordinary airport advisory
service undertaken by the Department
of Commerce is an index of the Gov
ernment's eagerness to encourage the
creation of the best possible airport sys-
tenn in the United States.
Experts of the department who have
been 6t6dying the practical and theo-
retical phases of the best existing air
ports are now being sent out on tours
taking them into the communities that
ask advice on their airport problems.
These experts are equipped to give
advisory service where it is wanted, and
also are authorized to grant class rat
ings of existing airports on the Federal
air map. They do not undertake to
provide engineering layoutS or super
intend the construction, but they will
help to select sites and indicate the best
general line of development.
BY this means the Government hopes
to enable ambitious communities to get
the greatest possible results from the
money they invest in airport facilities.
In many branches of progress, nota-
bly, in the matter of laying out the
earliest high-speed highways. the pio-
neers are now found to have made
costly errors that might have been
avoided. The Department Of Commerce
wants to save airport cities from I'M
necessary losses by the trial-and-error
method and to provide instead the best
expert knowledge available. And in the
course of this effort the department
will be able to put together an airport
map based upon expert, unprecedented
opinions of its own agents.
The service is going to be big help
to communities with airport problems
to solve and also to build up standard
system of airports that can be depend
ably mapped for air travellers.

Where Parity Is Needed.

Senator David A. Reed Of Pennsyl-
varia, speaking at a dinner given by
the Metal Trades Council of Philadel-
ptia, is reported to have said that the
pending Smoot- Hawley tariff bill is
dead" He went further and declared
that the bloc Of Republican Senator's
from the West, led by Senator Borah,
was the "executioner" Of the bill. Sen
ator Reeds complaint was that the
Senators from the West are intent upon
beating down every tariff provision re-
lating to industry and upon boosting
every tariff provision relating TO agri-
culture.
This is unfair TO the Republican Sen
ators from the West Had the present
tariff bill been passed by the House and
reported to the Senate providing for
agricultural duty increases-such as had
been promised the farmer by the Re
publican party during the campaign Of
1928-leaving the industries Of the
country the same measure Of protection
which they have now, the row over the
tariff bill which threatens its death
would have been avoided. Had the
House and the Senate committee been
content with writing into the bill, in
addition to the revised agricultural
rates, increases in rates for such in
dustries alone as have been hard pressed
by foreign competition in the last year
or two, trouble would have been averted.
But the doors of general tariff revision
were thrown wide open. Industries
which have been doing well, apparently,
have determined that here was an OPP
portunity to do better. Many influences
have been brought to bear to gain in
creases In rates for many items covered
In the tariff law.
President Hoover, when he called
Congress into special session, announced
that it was for two purposes. One was
farm relief. The other for limited"
revision of the tariff. Senator Reed and
the manufacturers of Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and other industrial States
must have realized that the special seS-
sion of Congress was summoned pri-
marily for the purpose Of farm relief,
both through legislation placing the
Federal Government back Of the farm
ers in the efforts to better themselves
and through a revision of the tariff in
favor of the farmers. The manufac-
turing interests, the industries Of
America, have been enormously pros
porous. Their prosperity has not been
