Eoly CroSS while the SeneCas were blanked, 1 to 0 when Thomas, Meri- den pitcher held the team to a lone hit.
 II IS a rare thing in these days or clout to find a pitcher entering the hall of fame by twirling a no-hit game. Thomas, twirler for the Con- telco team of Meriden all but turned the trick at Willow Brook park yes terday against the Senecas.
 Attention should be called to the excellent work of Pechuk, main pitching stay for the kensington team. Consistently each weekend, this worthy turns in a performance that is exceptional. Yesterday, fac ing Walter Scott, big right handler who pulled the Stanley Works to an Industrial league pennant, he struck out 10 men and beat Forestville by a to score. Scott worked in fine shape but his mates couldn't deliver either the necessary hits or runs.
 Some fine pitching performances are seen in both the Industrial and the City leagues this season. On the other hand, there are a number of the pitchers who regularly receive their bumps.
 Although the feature game of the City league schedule Saturday was the battle between the Burritts and the Holy Cross, the contest between the Pirates and the West Ends was the best of the three games played in point of good baseball.
 The game ended in the eighth in ming when the Pirates scored three more runs through a homer by Hal Beagle with two on and then the West Ends failed to tie the count In their half of the session.
 The final score was 3 to c and there wasn't an iota of difference be- tween the play Of both teams. They turned in errorless ball while Brooks had a slight edge on Tommy Blan- chard in the pitchers box.
 It is no wonder, with such base ball extravaganzas being furnished during the week, that the attendance of fans at Sunday games is small. Lovers of baseball can certainly get plenty of enjoyment out of the h. dustrial league games on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from the City league contests on Saturday, 10 satis- fy their appetites, sharp as they may be.
 Another week of good contests is scheduled for the coming days in both circuits.

DINOSAUR'S FATE ' PROBABLY SOLVED
Princeton Expedition Finds Tooth Near Fossil Remains

= Princeton. N. J., Oct. IS P-A F tell-tale little tooth discovered near some dinosaur egg shells in Mon- .tana gives an insight into the pos asible fate of the earth's largest race of animals, the extinct dinosaurs.
 Discovery of the eggs, the first Hound on this continent, and of the .Ntooth nearby was announced today by Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen. head of the Scott fund expedition of Princeton : university. They were found near Red Lodge in southern Montana last Summer.
 The tooth was in the same geo. logic formation with the nearby egg shells, an indication, said Dr. Jepsen, that its owner may have been more or less contemporaneous with dino- saurs.
 The unusual and important as- pect of this, he said, is that the tooth owner was a mammal, an anil nal type usually credited to later age than dinosaurs, and creature of higher intelligence, supposed to have developed after the dinosaurs became extinct.
 Small In Size
 This Montana mammal was com- paratively small, new mammal type, probably belonging to the Mar supiala. This is one of the lowest orders of present day mammals, to which belong kangaroos. opossums, wombats and bandicoots.
 The presence of the mammal tooth so near the dinosaur eggs sug- gests that the unexplained catastro- phe which wiped out the dinosaurs about 75 million years ago may have been collision with the superior mammalian intelligence.
 Though the biggest dinosaurs were so feet long, the little Montana mammal would need only to know how to steal and eat the eggs to win the race for existence.
 The eggs are fragments, not more than an inch in diameter, and nearly one-eighth of an inch thick They are black, rough and pitted. Dr. Jepson said the shells of which they are pieces may have been larger than those of the first dinosaur eggs ever found, which Roy Chapman An drews plans to return at some future date to search for complete eggs.
 Recent findings of dinosaur bones and tracks indicate that these rep tiles once spread over large part of the United States. These traces have been found in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Connecticut. Texas and New Jersey. At Bigelow brook near South Manchester, Connecticut a New Haven railroad bridge abut- ment rests on a rock which scien- lists have identified as containing dinosaur bones.

|FLOGG|NG MAY BE
 CRIME DETERRENT
Wickersham Suggests Study of
 Method Used in Delaware

Louisville. Ky, Oct. 13 P-The ence here today had before it sug- gestion from George W. Wicker sham, chairman of President Hoov- CTS law enforcement commission that "a careful inquiry into the re- suits of flogging as a punishment may we'll be made to determine the desirability of employing it in the war against banditry and rack eteers."
 "Flogging by birch or by the cat " was discussed by MT. Wicker sham in an address which he had written but which was read to the conference in his absence, by E. R. Cass. New York. general chairman of the association.
 MT. Wickersham saw a state of actual warfare in the United States between organized society and "reb- els against it's authority"
 Modern crime, he said, was con- ducted by fearless men" whose spectacular methods were superior to the defnse of the police forces.
 We p2de ourselves upon the sue cesses of democracy" Mr. Wicker sham said, yet crime is rampant and every daily newspaper spreads before us tales of increasing law lessness."
 Very slowly we are coming 10 realize" he added, that something more than legislative fiat is neces- sary to make good citizens: that all the threatened punishments legisla- tive imagination can devise will not compel rebellious human natures to abide by rules of conduct that run counter to their wishes. their tastes. their needs. or their prejudices. Something more is necessary"
 Quoting an old Greek saying that it is more important to form good habits than to frame good laws. MT. Wickersham said prevention through education of the young and enlightened treatment of the young is the best remedy against crime. Everywhere throughout the land there are deep stirrings of dissatis- faction with existing conditions" he said, with the laws and the ad- ministration, and with the prescrib- ed methods of dealing with those found to have violated them"
 There is no doubt that the great volume and constantly widening categories of legislative prohibitions. with attendant penalties for thei, disregard. tend to create contempt for law" Wickersham said. Yet much of this legislation is probably unacceptable"
 He suggested that it "were we'll that public sentiment should be aroused to present unnecessary law making"

 Refuse Point Blank to Leave

Washington. Oct. 13 Pl-The re- habilitated leper who longs for his colony. instead of wanting to live in the work-a-day world, is one of the puzzling problems of the United States public health service.
 Instance of a cured leper, who had twice paid his way from dis tant city to Carville, Louisiana, was reported to public health headquar- ters here today by the medical officer in charge of the Carville colony.
 This particular discharged patient was reported a rnalcontent during his hospital life. but was anxious to make amends in the hope of re- admission for permanent residence, though no longer diseased.
 The medical officer told of other cured lepers who insisted on return ing to the colony physicians for treatment of their ailments, instead of consulting local physicians in their home towns. And he described one case in which man., "com- pletely cured and in the pink of condition" refused point blank to leave when discharged.
 The medical officer said the prob- lem of what to do with the paroled leper is under serious consideration by many institutions Some permit readmission for, observation, others insist that they shift for them- selves,

Macintosh and Bland Citizenship
 ' Hearings Appealed

Washington, Oct 13 P>-Although the supreme court has said its say in emphatic fashion on the duty of on applicant for citizenship to take unqualified oath to fight, if need be, for the United States, it must pass on the question again or leave it considerably unsettled.
 In the case of Rosika Schwimmer the court last year decided such an oath was necessary. but since then circuit court of appeals has de- cided Douglas Clyde Macintosh, Yale theology professor, and Marie Averill Bland, Canadian war nurse. were entitled to citizenship in spite of reservations regarding bearing arms.
 To Decide on Appeal
 The supreme court is to decide shortly whether it will take up the governments appeals and review these cases. Should it decide not to review, the decisions Of the court of appeal will stand, presenting to the eye of the layman decided con- trast to the final ruling in the Schwimmer case.
 Mrs. Schwimmer. Hungarian lec- turer, writer and linguist, applied for citizenship in Illinois in 1926. She said she would not personally bear arms in defense of the United States because she was an uncompromising pacif1st. She was refused citizenship and appealed to the supreme court.
 The court ruled against her. It was held to be the citizens duty to bear arms if necessary and that anything tending to lessen willingness to fight in time of need weakened the safety of the government
 Three Judges Dissent
 In the meantime, Macintosh and Miss Bland. bith Canadians, asked for citizenship. Dr. Macintosh said he was willing to bear arms in de- fense of the country but he wanted to be the judge of the necessity. Miss Bland. like Miss Schwimmer, said she would not bear arms per sonally, believing it contrary to the ethics of Christi
 Both were refused citizenship in United States district court but the second circuit court of appeals, despite the Schwimmer case deci- sion, reversed the lower court.
