Well, you may be right. old man
Well not argue with you about It.

the winning combination-but it is
not the one we would pick-nor

For that matter, we believe thai
only about two of your team have

they are only in very few cases
Our advice would be for you to &C
back over your dope sheets, ole

There it is, bugs! Always room
for an argument in picking a base

agreed, so far, on the majority o.
the players for the Babes team
but some of you are different. Let's
have your selection as soon as yor
can get it in now-time's getting
short!
This mornings mail brought us
a couple of good old hearty laughs
fans! Yes, real ones. This Babe

game is really better than any
vaudeville, some days.
For instance, Eva Trower writes
in and says she won't play because
in her opinion Babe Ruth is half o.
the real All-America Team and 1t!
not fair if he can't be selected! She
goes on to say that she went to SEE
ball games when she was the only
woman in the stands, so she believe.
that she knows. what she is talking
about.
Well, Eva, we don't doubt your
word, for YOU must have been
going to ball games a long time!
It's only the past 10 years that
girls have been turning Out i'm
force. However. it's the Babes
Contest and he made the rules
and we must follow them!
Here's one from-wait a minute

i-e-n-i-a Z-c.i-g-l.m.i-o! Angieni;
Zciglmio! Sorry, old boy, your type
writer must have blotted for w,

A few smart cracks that were sen
in by-Angienia-follow:
Il know a man so smart that h

Il know man so cold that every

That team sure looks like bushes
and proves you know your baseball

 Tn counts one to 26 inclusive, the Parker Smith company is de- scribed as a trustee of certain eX- pressed trusts, mainly of certain mortga ges therein described. This allegation is admitted by the ac- cused to be true.
 The state has offered oral and documentary evidence which the state claims shows that the mort gages referred to in these respective counts were paid to the Parker Smith company by the mortgagers, and in some instances for Consid- erable period before the due date, That as they were thus paid they were in a number of instances de posted in the name of the Parker Smith company, in a segregated ac- count in the Home Trust company of West Haven and that thereupon from time to time, the whole or a portion of such funds were with drawn by the Parker Smith com- pGny in checks in their favor and deposited in the name of the cor poration in the Tradesman's Bank of New Haven; that in a number of instances the company continued to pay interest to noteholders after the payment of mortgages and that such noteholders did not learn of the fact that the mortgages Of hich they were noteholders had been paid to the company until after the appointment of receiver; that in every instance set forth, in counts one to 26 inclusive the particular noteholders were never paid any portion of their notes. but the moneys received by the company from the various mortgagers were used by the Parker Smith company

 Speaking to an audience in the Kentucky city's new memorial audi torium and thousands of radio de- voices, MT. Hoover said this pro- gram, embracing the entire Missis- sippi and it's tributaries would cost only about 20,000,000 additional an- nually or the equivalent of half a battleship.
 Remark Brings Applause Then he asserted that nothing 'could be finer or more vivid con- version of swords into plowshares" if the nation could be so fortunate as to save this annual outlay on naval construction as the result of the forthcoming naval conference in London.
 This brought the only burst of ap- plause from his Ohio river valley listeners in the auditorium and off, cials with the president viewed this as demonstration of support which they insist his naval limitation policy has received over the country.
 The miserable weather which greeted the chief executive on his arrival at Dearborn Monday for the celebration of the golden jubilee of Thomas A. Edison's invention of the electric light, followed him to the last. It seemed to reach its height

Rome Horror Stricken

Rome, Oct. 24 LR) Italians were
 horror-strcken today at news from
 Brussels that the crown prince.
 Humbert, had been fired upon to- day while participating in a cere- mony at the tomb of the Belgian unknown soldier. The news was communicated to King Victor Emanuel and Queen Elena at the palace at San Rossore. Pope Plus when informed of the attempted assassination said he was glad the prince had escaped and he
 was sorry such an event had hap pened to cloud the happiness of the youthful royal couple.
 Their majesties echoed the na- tional sentiment of relief that he escaped unhurt.
 The attempt was attributed here to resentment of anti-fascists sn Brussels against condemnation and execution recently at Pola Of Vladi-
 mir Gortan, Jugoslavian terrorist" who fired on line of voters last election day.

 We consider the situation which arose on the floor late Wednesday afternoon and today more in the nature of a technical situation than a fundamental one" said MT. La mont in referring to the bankers conference.
 Bankers continued to congregate at the low, formidable appearing, gray stone offices of the Morgans, at the corner of Broad and Wall streets, directly across the street from the stock exchange. w. c.

The bankers assembled rep resented the heads of the largest public and private banking insttu- tions in the United States, and had under their supervision totalling many billions.
 Pale Men Wait Customers rooms of brokerage houses were crowded with pale and harassed faces. In contrast to the shrieking traders on the exchange floor, these men were ominously silent. A few were confidently plac- ing huge orders to buy, while many more were frantically placing or ders 10 sell.

 Well" Senator Carraway retort- ed. What are you?" Meisnest in- sisted he was not a lobbyist.
 Meisnest admitted to the com mittee that in his efforts to block Cooleys efforts, he spoke to Evan son. Cooley was requesting that the present duty on fish be retained.
 Rates Suddenly Reduced
 Under questioning, Meisnest said he met Fyanson when he went to Senator Bingham's office on tariff matters. He spoke to Eyanson on the subject he wanted to discuss with Bingham, he said.
 It was admitted by the witness that the rates on fish were reduced after he saw Eyanson. although previously they had been raised. on the strength of facts presented by Cooley.
 He said after his first visit to Eyanson he learned the latter was a member of the Connecticut Manu- lecturers association but, like Wuichet, he did not remember where he got the information.

Church Selected

Rome, Oct. A P)-The marriage of Grown Prince Humbert and Princess Jose Marie, of Belgium, probably will take place at the Church of Santa Maria Degli An gela, the national church of Italy. The church contains the tomb of Marshal DiaZ, and is where King Emanuel and Queen Elena were married 33 years ago today.
 The first idea of having the pope celebrate or attend the wedding in person at the Vatican now appar- ently has been discarded. The ar engagements so far as known com prise performance of the rite of Cardinal Gamba, archbishop of Turin, close friend of the Italian royal house.
 Thereafter the couple will go to St, Peters and pray at the tomb of the Apostle, after which they will repair to the Vatican where they will have an audience with the pope and receive the papal bless ing.
 1t was understood today the royal couple would bring with then from Turin the sacred shroud in which the body of Christ was al. legged to have been wrapped before being laid in the sepulchre.
 This sacred property of the House of Savoy is exposed to ven. eration only on the occasion of the betrothal of an heir to the throne Prlor to being brought to Rome il [ will be shown at Turin with ap. propriate religious fetes. The engagement of Jose Marie and Humbert is looked upon mos favorably by the Vatican, since Marie Jose is a Catholic princess Prince Humbert greatly pleased tho pope with a pilgrimage to the Holy | Land in 1928, and with other proof l Of his attachment to his religion Although no date has been SC | for the wedding. it is supposed i l will take place about 40 days hence just prior to advent of the seasor | of penitence, during which tn church will not allow public mani | festations such as would attend tn marriage except by special dispen sation.

 It was modern nickelplated weapon The bullet fired by the assailant has not been recovered.
 The arrested man was later stated to be Fernando Di Rosa, born at Milan Oct g, 1908, domiciled in Turin and now living in Paris where he is law student at the univer- sity.
 Di Rosa arrived in Brussels from Paris yesterday with an Italian passport in his own name and a Swiss passport in another. He was stated to have informed the police that he had come from Paris ex- pressly to shoot the Crown Prince. He is not known to the Belgian police.
 The assailant was taken to the palace of justice suffering from minor injuries he received when aC- rested. It took ten policemen to hold him as he struggled. Crowd Out For Blood After he had been taken to the palace of justice large crowd gathered outside shouting: "A mort rassassin.'
 While the crowd rushed and mill- ed in their excitement the ceremony at the tomb proceeded. Count de Brocqueville, minister of defense, welcomed the Italian heir.
 In a moment the prince very calmly went down the steps of the tomb and placed his wreath, while military band played the Italian national anthem.
 Meanwhile Burgomaster Max, very nervous, gave hurried instruc- tions to the gendarmes to bring the prisoner to the nearest police sta ton. The royal prosecutor was summoned and as soon as he arriv- ed began to question him. Fight For Prisoner
 The crowds perception of what had happened was slow, due prob ably to the engine Of the body guards motorcycle, which was still running. But when the crowd real ized that an attempt had been made on the Italian heirs life they became enraged and fought with the police to get at the man.
 In an anti-faScist demonstration in front of the Italian embassy sev- eral days ago windows were brok- en and doors showed in by a crowd of students. Some were arrested.
