tist, in the Georgetown Church
Baseball League, had their de.
liveries pounded all over the land
scape, while O'Connor was pitch,
ing elusive ball to bring a 14-2
victory to his Grace Episcopals.
The first three innings found
the Episcopals unable to add to
their first-inning tally. but in the
fourth they opened a withering
fulliSade which garnered six runs
and wrecked the ball game
Again in the fifth a similar as
sault produced another 6--ln
rally, which made the ball game
slaughter, and another run in
the sixth gave them their IA
tallies.
The BaptiSts fought back
gallantly, twice taking full
advantage of every break to
rush over runs. but O'C0nnor

pulled the equally as much
bruited turn in the Departmental
League.
The twice beaten 6. P. Q.
rose in its wrath yesterday and
smote the Agriculture for an 81
win, the Printers first of the sea
son. Both pitchers were alright,
but the Ink-splashers really
splurge with the measly five hits
they got Hardy got two out
of three. including the only extra
base hit, a triple. and Duvan
repeated the performance for the
losers, Jones allowed the Aggies
four singles.
The Interstate outsmarted the
G. P. o. in the Government
League to win 43.
Hair handed out nine hits, but
kept them sufficiently scattered
to keep his team in the van, in
the meantime his huddies were
using eight hits very advantage
ously. Mudd got two hits to lead
the winners, with Hiser doubling,
Homan clouted a homer and
Balderson. Garland, and Hollis
showed we'll at the plate.
The Pullman-Southern Railway
game went to eight innings for
no apparent reason in the Ter

The SleeperS spotted them
selves to a juicy 13-run lead
in the first four innings and
then settled back to give the
Southerners q chance to
score. In the seventh inning
the Railway men tailed, Hen

Clapper was kindly disposed
and gave the losers 8 hits, while

the first four rounds, had been
weakened by body and kidney
blows and lacked the earlier
speed that permitted him to pile
up points.
Gallagher, in that eighth
heat. rocked Lamar with
several stiff punches. The
hardest blow of the match
was the aforementioned right
handler. the jolt spinning
Lamar half way around. In
stead of rushing in to kill
his man, Gallagher stood off
as expecting a message from
his corner.
This halt in his attack gave
Lamar time to clear his head
and the latter hurried into a
clinch. That saved the decision
for Lamar, who received an
unanimous verdict with not one
of the Gallagher supporters dis
senting.
Lamar won the first four rounds
easily, the fifth was even, the
sixth. seventh and eighth were
all Gallagher'S. with the ninth
even and Lamar putting on a
whirlwind finish to win the tenth.
However, he had piled up Suffi-
cient margin of points in the
first half of the milling to coast
home on points.
Lamar, 16I3 pounds lighter
than Gallagher who crossed
202Is pounds, weaved about
Marty like a panther in the
first few rounds, using his
speed to advantage. He also
peppered Gallagher with
left jab and sometimes
crossed over a stinging right
TO the head or midSectiOn.
Gallagher had his innings at
the start of the sixth when he
opened up. He repeatedly drove
Lamar to the ropes under a bar
rage of flying fists, but the
crafty Henry always managed to
avoid danger. Gallagher pumped
Steaming smashes to Lamar'S
body and Henry was fast whiting.
He lasted the round and also
weathered similar attack in the
seventh.
Billy Strickler. with Joe Bate
man in his corner. was awarded
the decision over Joe Glazer, of
Baltimore, in the Six-round semi
final. Strickler was much the
stronger of the pair, taking all
GIazer could offer and countering
with blows that hurt the Balti-
mOrean.

BY WILLIAM T. COSGRAVE President of the Irish Free State
 Executive Council


 (Written for the United Press)
 Dublin, March 19 UP) - The year 1929 marked considerable expansion in the activities of the Irish Free state in the domain of international affairs. Three new le- cations were established and minis ters plenipotentiary were accredited to the Holy Sec, Germany and to France. The appointments to France and Germany will serve to stimu- late interest in Irish affairs upon the continent of Europe.
 Deliberations Important
 The deliberations of the assembly of the League of Nations last Sep tcmbcr were of unusual importance to this country. The proposals for economic disarmament directed to the reduction of customs tariffs create special problems for coun- tries such as ours which are as yet induStrially under developed and which find it necessary 10 protect their infant industries from eXtinc- ton. The 1929 meeting of the as- SGlllDly Was nOldDlG lOO TOT llC number of declara tions, which in cluded that of the Irish Free state, accepting the obligations of the op- tional clause of the statute of the permanent court of international justice and for the adoption of the protocol relating to tho adherence of the United States to tho per manent court.
