Three base nit: LecA. StruCk out: by Lyons T. Cornier 8. Nathan Hale 10, Burritt
 Buster" Cox, little dusky hurlar of the Nathan Hale team, was in fine form yesterday afternoon and he pitched his outfit to 10 to win over the Burritt nine. He was aided considerably by the excellent work of his inner defense especially that of "Lindy" Dobek and Stein, shortstop and third baseman respec- lively.
 | For seven innings the game was closely contested affair but a par rage of base hits in the eighth by the Nathan Hale stickers put the contest away.
 The losers went into the lead in the first session when they tallied single counter after Nathan Hale had been shut out. The winners took a one run lead in the second when the Burritt pitcher faltered.
 After the Nathan Hale outfit SCOT ed its third run in the first half of the third canto, the losers came 
 back to tie the count The winners added single runs in the fourth and fifth and went into a lead that they never relinquished.
 In the eighth, the storm broke and five hits coupled with Burr't' misplay chased a quartet of tallies across the plate. The losers tried hard and scored a single run in the eighth and closed their run-making in the ninth when they added two more.
 The defense work of "Lindy' Do- bek, Jarvis and Stein was sensation al. DeFraio was the hitting star of the game collecting four safe bingles in five trips to the plate. Two of his smashes went for three bases. The summary:

In Wesley Terrell, 21-year-old appear to have the pitching find of the season. This, his first year as a major leaguer. finds him well on his way to win 20 ball games, something in these days of the brazy ball that only the very best pitchers can achieve.
 Best of all, three of his most re- cent wins came at the expense of the Athletics and Yankees. Wesley stop ped the hard hitting Mackmen twice Billy Evans and Roger Peckinpaugh glow with anticipation. for in this young Terrell kid they see a consist ent winner that will help them in their quest to bring a pennant to Cleveland within the next few years
 Strangely enough. another mcm- Der of the Terrell family is in his first year as major leaguer. Fan dom will recall the mighty ballyhoo that ushered Richard Rick" Terrell into the American league as a mem Der of the St Louis Browns Rick had been the outstanding catcher in the American association last season and when declared a free agent during the winter, sold himself to the Browns for reputed s25.000.
 Naturally, this gained him columns of newspaper space Corre- spondents wrote reams of copy from the Brownie training camp about the budding young catching star, 1 Wesley, meanwhile, was getting in shape with the Indians at New Or leans and although the Indian man agement was very optimistic about his future, his brother hogged mog' of the fame for the Terrell family. Rick has done well enough for | irst-year man with the Brow | Supplanting Wally Schang as firs string catcher is a task young Fel rell has not yet come up to. Not be- ing in the lineup regularly has hurt his batting, although he gives much promise of living up to all the nice | llillSS silu dboul nun. III lnlS re- spect Yves was lucky He had nc glowing reputation to sustain, but the big blonde kid started right out to build one.
 The Indians have brought Wesley to the front In record time. Two years ago Terrell was pitching fol the Oak Ridge Military academy nine in North Carolina, where tn, Tribe scouts discovered him.
 After winning seven out of eigh starts for the East Douglas semi pros of Massachusetts he reported tt the Indians.
 The Indians had him in trainin. camp in 1928. but judged him toe green for major league firing. The, farmed him to Terre Haute in tn, Three I league, where he created sensation.
 Young Wesley stands six feet tw, inches and weighs 195 pounds. Hi forte is a terrific fast ball and sharp breaking curve. He is at hi best in the pinChes, taking a rare de light in burning through the thirt strike on hitters like FoNx.

AS result of the win of the Will low Brook Park nine at Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon and the awarding of the protested Washing ten- Paradise Park game to the Washington outfit, a triple tie for first place now exists in the Rotary Baseball league.
 The Washington-Parad game was played Monday afternoon and | the latter team won a shut-out vic tory. At the conclusion of the con- test. Director Edward Hinchey of the defeated nine lodged a protest with the league officials on the grounds that Zapor. the right fielder of the Paradise Park team was over age. At the time of the protest, however, the player in question had birth certificate showing that he was with in the age limit. The certificate was filled out in Holyoke, the birthplace of the boy in question.
 It developed yesterday that the lad has been a student in the local schools for the past several years and school record showed him to be over age. This was brought to the at- tention of Director Gerald McCourt and he awarded the game to the Washington team.
 The fine hurling of Lyons, WILLOW Brook park pitcher, was mainly the cause of that team's win. He allowed the Y. M. c. A. batters but three hits. In the other game of the after noon, Nathan Hale went into second place by handing the Burritt clug a beating.
 Willow Brook ". NJ. C. A.
 With very little difficulty. the Will low Brook team took the Y crew into camp by ' to score in the game played on Diamond No. 2. The both teams scored in the first inning but slowly and surely the winners drew away.
 Lyons on the mound for the Y crew, pitched a steady game and al- though he was wild at times he steadied down and frightened up ID the pinches. Cormier was the firing gun for the losers but his support was shaky at times. Passed balls ac- counted for a good number of runs against him.
 The score remained tied at one all until the fourth inning when Willow Brook crashed through the Y de- fense for brace of counters. The I answered this sally with one run ir it's half but the punch to put more runs across was lacking.
 Willow Brook got three more in the fifth and another in the sixth be- fore the Y team could stop the avalanche. The Y crew was kept scoreless until the eighth when a rally netted only one run. Despite the fact that the bases were filled some dumb base running and the lack Of a hit prevented any more from com ing in.

The British parliament, meeting
for the second time in its history
under a labor ministry, opened at
Westminster early last week, and
the house of commons together
with their French colleagues of the
chamber across the channel in Paris,
furnished most of the important in
ternational vents of the week.
Labor'S program presented in the
kings speech from the throne was
mild enough to shock its "left-wing''
members and was rewarded with a
kind Of tacit lease on life for the
cabinet until early in 1880 from the
conservative and liberal opposition.
At that time Winston Churchill
warned the government the conser-
vatives would ask labor to put its
policies before the house on a vote
of confidence so the house might
pass upon them.
Announcement that steps had been
taken for renewing trade relations
with soviet Russia, broken off in
1927 by the conservative raid on the
headquarters of the Russian COM
mercial delegation in London, and
that the option clause of the world
court statutes would be accented,
were the important features of the
speech in foreign affairs.
