AMERICAN LEAGUE
 LEADS NATIONAL
Holds Two to One Edge in Inter.
 League Baseball Combat

New York, March 14 R - Not that it necessarily means anything, but the American league, which has won the last three worlds series. holds a tNo-to- one edge over the National in inter-lcaguc baseball combat this spring training season.
 An even dozen games between representatives of the two leagues have been played in the south so far and eight of them have gone to the American league represent atives. Only eight of the 16 major league clubs have participated in the inter-leaguc games SO far so it would be manifestly unfair to make any rash deductions as to the rela- tive strength of the two organiza- tions from the few early contests played so far.
 The chief sources of woe. if any, for National league partisans have been the New York Giants and Bos- ton Braves. Each has lost three games to American league foes, the Giants having only a tie to show for four games with the Chicago White Sox while the Braves have succeeded in winning one in four with the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers.
 The White SoX' three triumphs over the Giants give Donie Rush S men the unquestioned lead in the exhibition game standings.
 Here's how the clubs stand in inter-league warfare.

 Barron was waylaid as he walked toward his home from the Allen hurst station by three men who spranG upon him from roadside shrubbery. After q struggle he was subdued and lifted into an automo- bile driven by fourth man.
 Arthur Kelly. another commuter. told police he was walking behind Baron and witnessed the attack and abduction.

Kelly said he obtained the license number of the car.
 Although the kidnapping was re- ported 10 police at once. the victim was not identified as Barron until yesterday. when Mrs. Barron told police her husband had failed to reach home Wednesday night.

$ pc a king of Sports

'' There have been many great com nlnatlons in roller hockey both dur Ing the present and also during the past but that of Kid" Williams and Steve Pierce. the old forward combination on the championship Mcriden team of a few seasons ago, Will stand up with any of them.
 The pair demonstratcd it's ability within the past week Tn Albany and Amsterdam in the series played be- tween the championship Albany crew and the all-star aggregation representing Amsterdam. The All-Stars took the first game played in Albany, 10 1. and won the second, [ to 6. in an overtime game played in Amsterdam.
 The regular Albany team played together while the All-Stars had Williams and S. Pierce, rushers; lundeville. center; Gazzinga, half back, and Barnikow in the goal
 
 Meriden team that copped the championship several seasons ago. ~. Williams, in talking about the game. said that it certainly was pleasure to team up again with his former mates. He stated that he was like q prodigal son returning home. He played with Pierce and Lundevillc so long in Meriden that each player knew just about what the other one was going to do.
 He said that if he were to be d member of a team like the one that represented New Britain at the end of the last playing season, he" would be one of the poorest players in the game because of the fact that every. thing was topsy turvy.
 Tomorrow will be the last day for the publication of letters from polo fans regarding their selections of players for next years team. These have created q good deal of interest around the circle of people who are interested in the game. Many have agreed with some of the letters while others have violently dis agreed with the idea of others. That IS what makes competition.
 The consensus in the ma jority of the letters received is that Williams and Donnelly should be retained from this years team and Earl Pierce should be secured to work with Williams
 II appears now that the releasing of Earl Pierce was the biggest mis- take of the past season. When it appeared that New Britain had nicely working combination just at tho peak of form, the change was made that brought Bill Duggan to this city.
