 For the moment the priest said nothing, but stood clenching and unclenching his hands in obvious mental anguish. Then, with sud- den resolution:
 Its about Tommy Atkins, col onel. All this night I have prayed on my knees for guidance and l have got it. I have come to tell you something. It is hard, for l am violating the privacy of the con- fession to a tiny degree. Never before have I done this. But 1t is my duty now. I have heard this girls confessions many times and by putting two and two togeth- CT, I can see the truth about Tom my Atkins. The lad cannot pos sibly be guilty'

 The priest turned toward the door, but the colonel held him a moment with a hand clasp and a God bless you, father"
 The colonel was alone again. Outside, Sentry Smiths heels re- corded their methodical "clack, clack." Within, the small clock raced to meet the sunrise. The Old Man crossed the room and with whimsical smile addressed the timepiece:
 You liar, you wicked little liar Run as fast as you want, but there will be no firing squad at dawn. v

Three years ago, Big Bill Tilden was abruptly checked by the surg ing rush of youthful Frenchmen after capturing the United States singles championship six times in Q row. Over a period of 1920 to 1925, Big Bill was supreme The record of seven championships, first set by Die Sears back in the late eighties and equalled later by Will liam Larned, appeared well within the grasp of Tilden until he ran into Cochet in 1926 and then La coste in 1927 Cochet turned back Frank Hunter for the sim l e S crown in 1928, Tilden being in of ficial disfavor as an aftermath of his player writer row and was ruled out of action.
 Now, the lanKy American is back home after his last big campaign abroad with no more Frenchmen in sight for the rest of the season. As a consequence Big Bill has royal chance to wade through the field at Forest Hills, starting September T, to recapture the national title and equal the Sears-Larned mark. Should he do so, Tilden automati- : cally would clinch the No. rank ing position on the national list for the tenth time in row. Despite his ups and downs of recent years, he has never relinquished that dominating position at home, all though he was re-instated just in time to be put at the head of the class last February for the ninth year.
 In the ten national singles cham pionships he has tried for since 1918, Tilden has been champion six times, runner-up three times to R. Lindley Murray, Little Bill John ston and Rene Lacoste, and quar- ter -finalist once, when he bowed to Henri Cochet.
 Little Bill was Big Bills victim five times in the national finals and once in the semi-finals, in 1921 when Tildens conquest of Wallace

NELSON, LOCAL SCHOOL BOY, IS
 COMING BOXER
Brings Love of Game and Capability to Ring
 Lacks Experience

What Young Sammy Nelson, Ju- neau school boy, lacks in ring ex- |perience, he makes up in enthus- iasm and capacity. And those who know Soldier Miller, the Chilkoot Barracks boxer, say the local boy will need lots of both when they meet in the American Legion's fight card next Saturday night at Elks' Hall.
 In ring parlance, Sammy is a novice. That is, he hasn't yet found his name written down on any record books and the ring battles he has taken part in could be counted on :ne ringers of one hand.
 That doesn't keep him from being favorite w-cn local fans. For Sammy is one of the lads who re- fuses to stall. If someone suggested to him that he carry" his man along just to prolong the bout, he most likely would retort T aint no pack horse" or words to that effect.
 In other words the lad is mat ural." He knows that his hands

Johnson in the finals represented an anti-climax.
 When Babe Herman first broke in with the Brooklyn Robins, his awk- wardness in the field frequently made it doubtful whether he would block fly balls with his glove or his head. The Babe is still several kilometers short of the Iris Speaker standard of outfielding but his heavy hitting has offset anything his critics may say about his de- fensive ability. Herman has been batting consistently around 400 threatening to give Brooklyn it's first champion batsman since the palmy days of Jake Daubert and Zach Wheat.
 Herman is only one of the big surprises this year in the National leagues big batting rampage. Chuck Klein and Lefty ODoul of the PhillieS also have been con- meeting. O'Doul led the parade earlier in the campaign. Klein Is well on the way to beating Rogers Hornsby's league record of 42 hom- CTS for a single season.
 Ten years ago Babe Ruth, after hitting 29 home runs for the Bos- ton Red Sox and setting a new record, was sensational enough to be purchased for $135,000 by the Yankees and signed to $30,000 contract. Klein, well beyond the 30-mark in August, in his first full year as a big leaguer, is understood to be working on a $3,500 contract for 1929.

are made for something besides betting. He can hit with either and does frequently enough to keep most of the fans for him. And it is 9 treat to watch him move around the ring. Considering his youth and newness to the game, he is pretty bit of fighting ma chinery. If he has any serious fault, it is overconfidence. And that wont hurt him unless it makes him neglect his training.
 Sammy has been working at a Frnter Bay mine for some time, doing a regular eight-hour shift He hasn't had either the time or opportunity to indulge in anything that would upset his condition. He arrived last night to do his final training and should be on edge for this go.
 It is his first big chance. Here tofore he has been in curtain raisers and preliminaries. Match maker Brown has given him the semi final position on the Labor Day card because he believed that Nelson has it in him to be a top notcher. Sammy is sure to make the most of it.
 Miller, his soldier opponent is unknown to Juneau fans. Word comes from Haines that he is an experienced boxer who knows his way around the squared circle. He Is said to have good record and can both give and take punishment, That being true, the cash custom CTS at the Vets smoker should have no kick coming on the semi final.

| roll of the Manufacturers associa- | tion, a practice which mem bers of the investigating committee declare IS in violation Of criminal statutes, Senator Bingham, who preceded Eyanson on the witness stand had insisted he saw nothing improper in | the act, and said if he knew tariff experts were available for advisers to senators he would not have en- gagged the expert services of the
 Connecticut man. Eyanson said it was never his intention to keep the
 money received from the govern
 ment. but that it was to be turned
 over to Mir. Bingham's secretary,
 temporarily relieved of duty to per-
 init Eyanson to be sworn in as a
 senate employe.
 One of the letters read into the
 record rurported to be an inquiry
 by President F. Kent Hubbard of the Manufacturers association to
 members of the board of directors asking for an expression of senti- ment on the plan to maintain Evan
 son in Bingham's office during
 whole or part of the work on a tariff bill. The communication reads:
 T am enclosing a copy of a let ter dated Febuary 25 from Senator Bingham which is self explanatory
 "As you know, we have been con- siderably concerned as to Con- necticut's position In regard to the tariff due to the fact that We have lost our tariff champion, Senator Mclean. Months ago, therefore we approached Senator Bingham in an endcavor to induce him to under take q study of our tariff problems so that he might be in a position to protect our interests during the hearing of the senate finance com mittee and during the consideration on the floor of the senate. His let ter indicates his intention Of carry ing out a plan which will react to the benefit of Connecticut industry.
 AS members of the board know, LIle dtoSOCIdllOu WhS represented by two members of its staff at practi- cally all of the important hearings before the house ways and means committee during the past two months. The staff prepared, aided in the preparation or supplied in- formation for briefs in nearly one hundred cases. The tariff work for the association this session of con- gross has been more complete, therc- fore, and more thorough than it has been in any previous tariff legisla- ton. We have held no conference We have given no publicity to the work of the tariff and we have not m memoralized congress; but we have been rendering the individual serv- ice to members which every mem- Der has 8 right to expect. If this really constructive piece of work is to be followed up no more effective was can be found, in my opinion, than through the meeting Of Sen ator Bingham's request. It should be understood however, that this will entail expenditure of the funds of the association. Any amount of money can be spent. Through the expenditure of small amount Sen-

 efforts that were being made to save i Stanislonis because there is a sus- l pended jail sentence of 30 days hanging over him on a theft charge and he is on probation. Attorney Colon claimed there was
 Stanislonis on the assault charge, while Harrington, who was sober, could not be expected to stand by while two intoxicated men beat up
 Wisk and then attacked him. Judge Traceski replied that he did not be- lieve Harrington's story of the as- sault

 himself on the stand" Attorney
 Colon said

 Stanulonis asked to be allowed to testify and Judge Traceski heard him. He claimed he had gone into the store to wash his hands after changing an automobile tire. He had no connection with the fight, and had not been in the store more than five or ten minutes before the police arrived. Officer Maurice Flynn was called by Prosecuting Attorney Woods and testified that he was positive that nobody went into the store from 11:45 o'clock until the arrests were made, so Stanulonis must have been there longer than five or ten minutes.
 Judge Traceski observed that TJisk and Stanulonis had pleaded guilty to the breach of the peace charge and Harrington apparently wanted to take the full blame for the assault. He remarked, however, that liar rlngton had not been fair with the court in his account of the fight, the court was satisfied that there had been more of a fight Tn the store than had been admitted.

 and in politica life had several sus-
 gestions to make in the following letter:
 It seems 10 me the best sugges-
 tion l Can make is that Eyanson be
 assigned to this work. By the time
 the Connecticut Legislative work is
 finished they will be in the midst of
 this tariff work on the next session. : l think we should do everything we
 can to help Senator Bingham out and meet his difficulty to the utmost.
 Of course he is using as his secre- tary. a man named Sault, who came originally from Waterbury. and it is possible that Sault may De the type of man who knows a good deal about this work That is, of course, i with Mclean may be useful, at least in this direction.
 'It may also be that we could en- gage the advisory services of Senator Mclean on this matter and for a time be helped out considerably in this direction"

 Another letter read to the inves- tigating committee was represented as 2 communication from President Hubbard 10 Eyanson. discussing an "open shop conference It read:
