 The 5000 bleacher seats in right center were filled before the gamei so were most of the temporary seats on top of the row of houses opposite the park on 2Oth street. but the main stands filled very slowly.
 Simmons Hits We'll
 The As big guns gave the bleach- CT crowd some cause for excitement by pounding a number of balls in their laps. Simmons also poked one over the right field wall, the ball popping into a second story window on the first bounce.
 The sun broke through the clouds at 12:30 and removed some appre- hension of rain.
 It was heavily overcast, however, for the most part.
 The personal feud that had ap- peared to ripen in the relations be- tween Burleigh Grimes, Cardinal spitball pitcher, and Mickey Coch- rane, peppery catcher of the Ath- letics, was marked by truce before the game. Grimes. on arrival at the park, asked for Cochrane and they engaged in a IS minute conversation outside the As club house, both shaking hands at the parting.
 Aroused by Pitch Cochrane's ire was aroused in the first game by a "bean ball' thrown at him by Grimes and they had car ried on running verbal tilt ever since. Grimes "dusting off" of Sim mons at St. Louis Monday also had aroused feeling among the As.
 Before the red birds went out on the field for practice, they were vis- ited in the club house by John Me Graw and Rogers Hornsby. new manager of the Chicago Cubs and leader of the Cards in the 1928 World series, the last that the forces of the National league won.

Turns to Business

Boston, Oct. s P)-The national convention of the American Legion turned again to business today after it's spectacular parade of yesterday.
 The selection of the scene of the next convention was one of the in- portant matters on the days calen- dar. A brisk fight was waged by the cities of Los Angeles and Detroit for the honor of entertaining the Legion , naires in 1881. Both cities sent rep l resentatives here with certified checks for s25,0OO to show that they were ready for the convention. Several distinguished guests were on the program to speak. These in cuded Admiral William s. Benson. General Frank T. Hines, adminis- | trator of veterans affairs at Wash 1 ington; General Henri Gouraud, French war hero; William R. Green, president of the American Fedora ton of Labor, and Major General ! Sir William Hickic of Ireland.
 Reports Are Ready
 The reports of several committees were ready for action and awards for membership drives and history contests were to be awarded.
 The band and drill teams were to hold their preliminary contests dur ing the morning with the finals to- night. There were other events scheduled to entertain the visitors, including a harbor trip and clam | bake.
 Reunions and dinners were held | by most of the wartime organizations last night and the Forty and Eight | held it's banquet.

FISHING SCHOONERS
 RACE TOMORROW

and rightly or wrongly it has been said she no longer possesses the speed of her youth. Howeve, that may be, a good breeze of wind and rough sea should see the Thebaud at a distinct disadvantage. Both shippers are praying for wind, real wind, not the gentle summer zephyrs in which the America's cup races were sailed off Newport this sum- Iner.
 Racing for Many Years
 It Is impossible to say how many years fishermen have been racing. Probably their sailing contests date back to the first time that the fish ermen found themselves homeward bound for the same market with fares of fish. Ever since fishing be- came an organized industry there have been races to port with the sea sons first catches of mackerel, swordfsh and othtr fish, the best prices the prize. They are races in which the men spare neither them- selves nor their vessels, piling on canvas until their schooners go reel ing over the face of the sea like things possessed Of the spirit of haste. Such is the sort of contest Captain Ben and Captain Angus have set for themselves if the gods of the winds will be generous.
 Memorable among the early fish ermen's races is that of 1892. The race was sailed off the Massachu- setts coast in a bowling gale which kept all but the crews of the com- peting vessels ashore. As the several schooners were about to go over the starting line the schooner Harry l.. Belden appeared on the scene, fresh from the banks, her hold crammed with fish. There was no time for any sort of preparation, but her skipper, Maurice Whalen, put her over the line with the rest, and won the race. His most serious opponent, the Ethel B. Jacobs, was disabled and forced out of the contest.
 Believe Boats Jinxed
 Many subscribe to the supersti- ton that jinx pursues fishing ves- sels when they leave the banks and go racing. But the men of the Gloucester fleet scoff at such a theory. It is only that the loss of a schooner that has attained prom thence receives more public atten- ton when she goes down than lesser known vessels. they say, and that may be true. for the average life Of a fishing vessel seems tragically short.
 The Esperanto. which first brought the Dennis cup home from Halifax in 1920, was lost year later, and of all the American schooners that have since won racing prominence, only Elsie remains afloat Last years winner of the series off this port. the Progress, burned and sank off Cape Cod this summer.
 Ben Pines beautiful Columbia, one of the fastest fishing schooners ever launched, left her bones and those of her crew on Sable island, graveyard of the North Atlantic. less than a year after her last triumph. The Henry Ford broke up on the coast Of New Foundland: Cape Sable claimed the Elizabeth Howard, and the Puritan, built with a view to racing, never returned from her maiden fishing trip. There are other American racing fishermen on the bottom Of the sea and many times their number of fishing sChoOners that never went racing
 Was it not of the fishing indus try that was written;
 Men must toil and women must weep?

Miniature Golf Has
 Odd Effect on Fan

Los Angeles, Oct. s (UP)-This is the story of what miniature golf did to Cjerard C. Dyt of Hynes.
 Dyt played on a pee-Wee course at Downey. He missed putt. It made him angry. He growled aloud. He missed another putt. It was too much. He ran amuck.
 Throwing the ball as far as he could over a fence and using his butter as a weapon, he chased all the other players off the course.
 Then he started looking for more courses to conquer. He had to go to Bellflower, another town, to find it. After he had driven away all the players there, a squad of deputy sheriffs arrived. It took them 20 minutes to over come Dyt.
 Dyt was in jail today, under 15-day sentence for disturbing the peace. He also was under ob- servation for insanity.

streets all night and during the early morning.
 The best that the authorities could do was guard the packed wooden grand stands along the parade route from flames that spread from bon fires on the street and the common. Hotel entrance were guarded by of- ficers, who refused admittance to any but the Legionnaires and guests.
 The thousands of tons of con- fetti and ticker tape made ready kindling. Hundreds of crates and boxes that had been used as seats by parade spectators made excellent fuel. and fires burned everywhere there was few feet of vacant space.
 At the corner of Stuart and Ire mont streets a descrepit automobile caught fire. One of it's 10 occupants was rescued by pedestrians. One had his trousers burned. None of the au- tom obilists was a Legionnaire. Boxes Hurled at Cars Those boxes and crates that were not burned and tin cans that would not burn were hurled at passing au- tomobiles by the toughs. Tops of the machines were dented and torn and 1 in one or two cases crushed. Auto mobiles were seized and jounced un- til their springs gave way. Now and then an automobile was overturned. Always it seemed the hoodlums
 and their pals were behind the
 boisterousness. The Legionnaire was l having his good time but he was
 easily manageable and confined his i celebration to a parade, a quartet cr an impromptu song and dance.
 Incensed veterans took matters in i to their own hands several times

 Legion uniforms they had no right

COMMISSION PROPOSES
 RECREATION DIRECTOR
(Continued From First Page)

official of this character in the inter- est of the public, the children, and the city in general. At present, our activity in the playgrounds is con- fined to short period of eight weeks in summer, with no provision or anybody available to supervise sports and play for the children as we'll as adults in the spring, fall or winter seasons of the year. For such additional cost as will be entalled, we urgently advocate that sufficient money be allowed in the new budget this winter to make possible such an arrangement. We believe 1t would be wise economy in that the return to the community will far exceed the extra money expended.
 Baseball continues to be great attraction yearly, and the attendance at the games sponsored by the city leagues. have been larger than ever. A tennis Tournament this year. con- ducted for the first time, also proved highly successful.
 Additional playground ldclItleS are still needed in the east end Of the city, in the northwest section as these districts continue to grow in population. As additional money is made available, we hope to carry through plans already made for new playgrounds in these areas.
 "The commission extends its ap- preciation to the directors ano 8 supervisor for their work iN behalf of the children, and to the mayor, municipal officials and common council for their cooperation.
 Respectfully submitted.

DISCRIMINATION IN
 FRANCE CHARGED
(Continued From First Page)

States as compared with only about 12,000 Americans residing in France.
 Captain Rockwell who fought in the French army in the World war and was decorated for bravery with several of the highest honors which can be given in France, has met with no success. however, in pressing his case as test before the French courts on five different occasions.
 In one instance, it was charged, the judge, as the case opened be- fore him, asked Rockwell's attorney if his client was an American cit izen. Receiving an affirmative reply, ! it was said, the judge replied:
 Then leave the court. An Amer ican citizen has no rights here. If he wishes to enjoy the rights of the French laws, he must become naturalized.
 Plays United States
 The judge, according to informa' tion before the state department bs interested Americans, refused to al lew the case to proceed and deliver ed from the bench remarks uncom plimentary to the United States.
 Aside from watching the situa tion. which has deprived a consider able number of Americans in Pari of possession of property they hav' purchased, the State departmen has done little. The matter wa brought recently to the attention 0 Under-Secretary of State Cotton, bu there was no action until Captain Rockwell returned from France t appeal personally for assistance.

HoodIumS Run Wild

Boston, Oct. 8 (P}-Boston and Legion police controlled the down. town streets today after several hours of riotous hilarity by mobs of hoodlums.
 Overturned utomobiles, the ashes of a score of bonfres that had been built in down town thorouGhfares and on Boston Common. and here and there a battered head, marked the passing of the rowdies, who took advantage of the privileges extend- ed the Legionnaires on their night of nights. Exhaustion was probably the greatest contributing factor to- ward curbing the ruffians.
 At one time. shortly before mid night, it seemed that the melee in Park square might gain the propor- tions of a vicious riot. Dennis J. Iorden. heading a detail of federal agents. had arrested four local men for peddling liquor in the square. As he started marching his men away. the crowd, composed mostly of the toughs, who ranged in age from 12 to 20, moved on him.
 Fists Begin to Fly
 Fists began to fly and the agents had their backs to the wall when q squad of Boston police forced their way through the crowd to rescue them. Legion police. or "co-ops,' held a lane open while the agents and their prisoners were brought tc the comparative safety of a nearby street.
 Those four were the only arrests during the sporadic outbreaks that marked the post t-parade celebration Police who attempted to roundup the detached mobs of hoodlums were ! hindered in making arrests by the crowds that milled through the

 Gouraud Reviews Strife General Gouraud. Frances repre- sentative at the convention. reviewed the history Of strife through which his nation and the United States had fought hand in hand in an address before the convention today. He recalled his visit Of seven years ago when the then governor of Massachusetts presented him with three flags, those of France, United States and Massachusetts, which now hang in his office in the Invaldes At that time he was the guest of the 42nd (Rainbowl division.
 The general brought the greetings of Marshal Petain. whose duties, he explained, had prevented him from being present He added, "and had it been Gods will, I should have brought to you the same sentiments from your great friend, Marshal Foch"
 Praises American Soldiers Glancing over the crowd of intent Lesionnaires, he said: Seeing you again with your bright faces, your sturdy statures, feel anew the emo- ton which Paris felt during your triumphal parade three years ago, during the banquet at the lnvalides, where thanks to that modern wonder -electricity-you had amid those historical surroundings. a spectacle unknown to the soldiers of King Louis l4th and those of Emperor f Napoleon in the days of tallow candles Truly, the history of our two peoples is a beautiful one. far apart by nature, they constantly tend to come nearer to each other" The romantic figure, an empty sleeve hanging by his side--his badge of sacrifce--then carried through a resume of the reciprocity of the two nations. He told of the valor of Americans who joined the French army before their own coun- try entered the war-Eictor Chap man, Kitiu Rockwell and Norman Prince of Boston.
