Special to the Herald)

Portland, July Y - A baseball diamond covered with rocks and stones, uneven in various spots, and one in which the grass inf1eld con- sisted largely of weeds, was the scene of the second defeat in ten starts for the local Eddy-Glover post No. 6, American Legion base ball nine at the hands of the Glider sleeve town aggregation on the Portland High school diamond We'd nesday. The final score was 5 to 3.
 A long clout by Hetrick, town cen- ter fielder, in the sixth frame with two men on the base paths brought in the winning runs. The blow was good for a three sack hit, but a bad throw by Peters brought in the fifth and last run for the winners.
 The local outfit played the poorest baseball that it has played this sea son. Numerous errors by the Le- glonnaires helped the opposition to get men on the sacks at critical stages of the game.
 The winners chased Higgins from the box in the second frame, SCOT ing two runs on two hits.
 The Legion tied the count in the sixth inning, chasing Hall from the mound. An error, coupled with two singles, gave the Eddy-Glover boys a tie score. Flynn relieved Hall and hit Zembrowski 10 fill the bases. Higgins, however. went out on ground ball and the rally was ended.
 A long triple in the sixth frame ended the ball game as far as New Britain was concerned. Hetrick's triple scored Valeri and McMekan. Hetrick also scored when Peters threw wild to home plate.
 A vain effort to tie the score in the seventh inning went for naught as it was the final effort of the local ball tossers. A single following walk and stolen base brought in one lone tally.
 No batter was able to smash out more than one hit apiece. Havlick starred in the field, handling seven chances without an error. The score:

Luque and his rival, Charley Root nearly became embroiled over "dustlng of incident and two coaches and Manager Mccarthy of the Cubs were chased by the um- pres for various reasons.
 Neither the Giants nor the Cards looked like 1erious opponents yester- day. Both were victims Of hitting sprees by low ranking clubs. The Giants lost an S-l decision and the series 10 the Cincinnati Reds as Red Lucas gave a few less hits than his mates made.

New York, July 17 LPl--Al Singer claims that if he wins the light weight title from Sammy Mandell here tonight no small part of the credit will belong to Ignacio Fernan- dez.
 Fernandez Is the boy who almost ruined Singers title chances by q quick knockout of the New York battler.
 The aftermath of that knockout Singer says, was more of a shock to him than the two blows which caused it. The realization was brought home 10 him that he possi- bly, wasn't as good as all of his friends said he was.
 Singer retired to train. A good hitter was picked up for q sparring partner, one who could test Sing CTS ability to take it.
 During this period Singer had the consolation of his friend, Benny Leonard, former lightweight king, who once was knocked out by Joe Shugrue. Leonard always claimed that that defeat improved him as a fighter.
 In training, Singer discovered that he really could take" it. He believes that his failure to weather Fernandez's attack vas due 10 lack of condition. and nervousness over an injured eye.
 Whether the knockout or not actually did Singer any good. he has come back with string Of victories, included among them one over Fernandez recently in Madison Square Garden.

MOUNTAIN PEAK
 SOLD ID CITIZENS
Famous Lookout Site Saved for
 Travellers Again

CIermont- -Ferrand, March 2S lf1- The auctioning of q mountain top to & group of 52 citizens has settled for a time a long controversy over possession of the famous Puy De Dome.
 The idea was to retain the highest point of land in this rugged coun- trv as an attraction for tourists, but there were at stake also ancient tra- dition and local pride.
 When the Marquis De Na!ny died many years ago possession ot the peak, 100 acres in area and nearly 5000 feet high, passed 10 q group of g peasant land owners, who bought the right 10 sraze on 1t theT sheep and cattle, In the pie turesquely Wordcd document each person, according 0 his share in Inc purchase price, had the right to have on the ground a certain number of fleet of COWS" and "!cct Of sheep
 Purchased some Rights
 A street car company eventually purchased some of these rights and exercised the legal prcrogatiNo ot demanding | division of property which required sale. The whole de- partment and much of France be- came exercised over the supposed plan to erect tourist hotels there and charge admission to the ground which for centuries has been sort of public playground.
 Lawyers working in the interest ot the public discol cred a flaw in the sale of the, street car company at public auction and another sale was ordered. The department itself put in & bid and the citizens group an- other one, while the auctioncer, ac- cording to quaint French customs, lighted three small candles.
 When the third flame died down the last bidder became the buyer, corresponding 10 the American auc- tioneer's going, going, gonc,' ac- companicd by the fall of the Gavcl.
 Still Open to Public
 The Puy De Dome, overlooking tine entire volcanic range of the region therefore, remains open to the world of the curious traveller, It was g sight seeing spot even in the days of the Romans who left there { temple to mercury now in ruins.
