It's a tough spot for the King Pins.
With the pennant almost In their grasp

Harry Mccarthy, who gave up bowl
ing at the peak Of highly successful
career, is getting ready to defend his
title as champion horseshoe pitcher of
the Rosedale sector, won in The Stars
tournament last Summer.
Mccarthy is assistant superintendent
OF Mount Olivet Cemetery during the
day and assistant manager Of Conven-
ton Hall at night. In the latter lob
he has seen so much of the game as to
be surfeited with it.
In the 'old days" Harry was dis
tlngulshed as gamester. He was I'M
shakable in any pinch. The same
quality was pronounced when he won
his horseshoe laurel. At the critical
moment in the final game he tossed a
ringer.
Mccarthy believes horseshoe pitch
ing Is better exercise in some respects
than bowling and quite as strenuous.
About the same muscles are used
in the delivery" says he, "but the walk
ing from peg to peg and the stopping
to pick up shoes uses up a lot more
energy than the rolling of a duckpin
ball. At the end of an hours horse
shoe pitching with regulation 2h-
pound shoes thrown 20 feet, the average
bowler would be tired in his arms, legs
and back"

INCREASED
TONNAGE
CERTAIN

LONDON, March II 0.NS3-
Thrown overheard in q frantic
attempt to save the five-power
naval disarmament conference
from failure. the 1900, ,000-ton
parity agreement between the
United States and Great Britain
went into the discard today.
While the principle Of parity
between the two English-speaking
naval powers will be maintained.
the level will be considerably
higher than that agreed upon ten
tatively some weeks ago.
1OO,OOO-TOn Increase
According to present indica-
tionS, the figure will be nearer
100000 tons, representing an
increasing over the tentative pro-
gram Of approximately 100000
tons of warShips.
The American delegation to the
parley, although reluctant, is pre-
pared to accept this augmented
figure and let the earlier pro-
gram Of 1900, 900 tons go by the
board. This decision has been
necessitated by the final realiza.
ton by both British and Ameri-
can delegates that it is impossible
to persuade France to reduce to
reduce her tonnage demands ap-
preciably.
In this connection, the British
admiralty has executed q com
plete about face. Previously, this
board estimated Britain would re-
quire a 400, ,OO0-t. i increase in the
Anglo-American parity figures f
the French retained their total
demands. Now it appears that
100, 900 tons will prove sufficient.
French Figures Revised
After close inspection Of the
French figures, an admiralty ex-
pert admitted today that the ef-
fective French fleet Of 1885 and
thereafter would total only &c.,
600 tons. Therefore, the rBitiSh
feel they need an increase of
$4,000 tons in cruisers and $4,000
tons in deStroyerS over the total
agreed upon by President Hoover
and Prime Minister Macdonald.
This means. Of course, that the
United States can automatically
claim the right to a similar in.
crease in figures in order to pre-.
serve parity, but it was pointed
out in American circles that 1t
really means very little actual in
crease, since old destroyers can
be retained in order to maintain
the necessary destroyer strength
of 100000 tons. b..
Building of $4,000 additional
tons of cruisers is considered tC
be worth the price Of a five
power agreement.
The additional United States
cruiser tonnage probably will be
allotted to thel light cruiser cate
cory, and thus will not appreci
ably alter the terms of the jap
aneSe-American negotiations. Sc

N.SD.-The thirty-first constitu-
tional convention of the United
Mine Workers of America today
was scheduled to take definite
action against the Illinois mine
union rebels.
Attaches of the office of In
ternational President John L.
Lewis said they believed that only
a few more speakers from the
Illinois field would be heard, and
that then the convention would
act upon recommendations that
punishment be imposed upon the

suggested is that of expelling
