issues should not be confused. So far
as concerns the methods Of obtaining
reliable information about inside prison
conditions it need only be said that al

Will Rogers
Says:

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Well, yester-
day was st. Patrick's day. But do
you think they would parade on Sum-
day? No, sir. There wouldn't be
any traffic to block If you used Fifth
avenue on Sunday. You know there
is nothing as overestimated as a
parade of any kind. 1t don't draw
crowds. The people that are lined
along the sidewalk are just trying
to get to the other side, that's all.
Nobody is interested in parade
but the fellow marching and his
family, who are compelled to go see
how bad he marches.
Every city should have street
away out where it won't interfere
with business or traffic. Call it
Parade street. Then let any Or
ganization go there, march till they
dropped. Do that and see how big
an audience they can draw.

 kensington's "murierers' row" spent no time in dallying along the way but started with the first man up. to crash out hit after hit and score run after run until the team had collected five birgles and four runs. Casey was on the mound for the Rulers and he couldn't get started the way the Kensington bat ters were picking on him.
 The Rulers cut the Paper Goods lead down to two in their half of the session when the scored two runs on two hits and an error. but after that, the team couldn't do much against the excellent pitching of the younger member of the Me Cormick family.
 Both teams settled down to play hard baseball after the lively first session. Casey appeared to have gotten rid of all his poor pitching in the first session. In the fourth, however, the Paper Goods team counted again when Kane slammed 2 home run over the barrier in left center field. A pass to Sullick fol- lowed by a single off Casey's glove and bit of wild throwing. gave them another in the fifth.
 The Rulers also scored in the fifth when Kane threw badly to first 10 catch Darrow and Bill cant around on hits by Argosy and Za- patka. This made the count 6 to 5.
 In the sixth. Casey was relieved in the box by Wilton Mercy, latest addition to the Rulers pitching staff. He held the Paper Goods scoreless until the eighth inning broke. Ner- vous in his first attempt at pitching for the factory team, Mercy walked the first two men. Manager Jimmy Clinton then sent the veteran, Billy Wolfe, into the fray. Kane and Will Hams had reached third and second with one out when Jim Mccormick shot a nice bounder to Zapatka at second. Zapatka let the ball get away from him and two runs were in.
