WINSl0W RESIGNS
 WHILE UNDER FIRE Federal Judge Retirs Just Be
 lort Investigation Is Begun IMPEACHMENT PENDING
New York Jurist Had Been Charged
 on Floor of House With Grave Irregularities in Connection With Bankruptcies.

New York. April 1 R-Federal Judge Francis A. Winslow. against whom articles of impeachment were recently read in congress. announced his resignation from the federal bench through his attorney today.
 "Grave Irregularities" Charged
 Congressman F. H. La Guardia. who read. the articles Of impeach- ment against Judge Winslow. charged him on the floor of the house with grave irregularities" in the administration of justice and demanded a congressional investiga- ton.
 A subcommittee was appointed to investigate and the preliminary inquiry was to have begun this aft ernoon. Before it could get under way. however. Martin Conboy. who had been retained to defend Judge Winslow. announced the jurist's res- ignation.
 Figured in Bankruptcy Cases
 The "irregularities'' with which Judge Winslow was charged had to do in large part with bankruptcy cases. Marcus Helfand. a personal friend ofthe judge, was recently charged by United States Attorney Charles Futile with offering rulings by Winslow in bankruptcy cases for sale, A hearing was held to deter mine whether Helfand should be barred from further practice in the federal courts in this district but just before its completion Helfand resigned from practice both in the federal and state courts.
 Just prior to announcement Of Winslow's resignation, Isadore J. Kresel, counsel for the congression- al Investigating committee. an- nounced that the investigat ton might not take place. if reports that Winslow would resign proved well founded.
 35,0O0 Graft Passed
 During Hollands hearing there was testimony that Meyer Kaplan, a man convicted in a bankruptcy case. had been placed on probation after giving Helfand t5.o00 to "fx things up" with Judge Winslow. Later. kaplan said. his probation was revoked and he was sent to Atlanta penitentiary to serve his term. and he expressed the opinion that this was done by Judge Win slow because Kaplan failed to make a second &5,o0o payment.

IMPORTANT GAMES IN
 DUSTY COURT LEAGUE
Radical Changes in Standing ll First Division Probable
 After Games.

Six of the best teams in the Y. M. C. A. Mems Industrial Basket ball League will play at the Stanley Arena tonight in what should be the best games of the season. Stanley Rule and P. & F. Corbin will meet in the first game, Stanley Works and Fafnir Bearing teams will clash in the second and Corbin Screw and Corbin Cabinet lock teams will bat tie in the third game.
 Regardless of which teams win radical changes will probably be effected in the first division. Inci- dentally the teams which stand in the first six places in the league are taking part in the games. leaving the holders of the three last places idle for the night.
 There isn't one of these teams which is sure of holding its place If 1t loses tonight and. 1t goes with out saying that there will be some hot basketball played.
 Since the girls league is practi- cally finished men will furnish the attraction in three games at both the Stanley Arena and the Tabs hall after next Tuesday night. On account of their playing often there should be many changes in the standing before the season ends.

BOSTON ID ALLOW
 SUNDAY BASEBALL
Ordinance Is Nov Up for Con.
 sdaadon Of Mayor

Boston. Jan. e9 CF-Mayor Nal colm E. Nichols today had under consideration an ordinance regulat- ing the granting of licenses for Sum- day professional baseball in this city. passed by the city council yes- terday after clauses fixing the prices of admission. hot dogs. and tontcs. had been eliminated.
 The ordinance. as amended, was passed by a vote of 12 to 2 only after several council men paid their re- spects to Emil E. Fuchs, president of the Boston National league club and Charles F.. Adams. vice president. and in so doing added anew to the verbal pyrotechnics which have featured the protracted fight over local ratification of the Sunday sports referendum.
 The measure as adopted. provid- ed that week day prices of admis- sion should not be increased on Sum- day and that fee of s2.500 should be charged for baseball licenses in parks with a seating capacity of 4o.- 900. That Is approximately the ca- pacity of Braves field.
 Clauses limiting 35 per cent of the seats to 50 cents on Sunday and set ting ten cents as the top price for tonics and hot dogs were eliminated only after Councilmen Robert G.. Wilson. John F. Dowd and Freder- ick E. Bowling attacked the Braves officers and defended price fixing as only a reasonable protection against Sunday profiteering."
 "The 50 cent seats." said Council man Wilson. lat least would let the fans get near enough to see which New York players were still in Bos- ton uniforms"
 Councilman Dowd charged that concessionaires at Braves field made 600 per cent profit on hot dogs and tonics and Councilman Bowling de- livered a general attack on the Sum- day baseball act. which he said. was SO worded as to confuse voters.
 'The act has been 50 misunder- stood" he said. "that it led a New York piccolo player and a ten cent grocery man to heap charges of in- fanny upon members of this council They don't know anything except
