HUSBAND MUST PAY
 ID SUPPORT FAMILY
h Arrears for 15 Weeks, He
 Agrees to New Arrangement

The claim that he had not worked in eight weeks did not deter Judge Sake from ordering Gustave Bat taglia, aged 27, of 737 West Main street, to contribute $6 per week 10 Probation Officer Connolly for the support of his wife and nine-year- old son, when he was arraigned at this mornings session of police court on q charge of non support.
 Mrs. Battagla testified that her husband was now 3 weeks in ar rear on his payments of $S per she had not received any money from him for more than a month. She asked the court to fix a bond to assure her husbands contribution to the family eXchequer and Judge Sake told her that for the present the court would order Battaglia to give her the sum of $6 week and failure on his part to do so for any one week would mean his being brought into court for the purpose of placing a bond to insure his sup porting her and the child.
 The judge stated, in reply to Mrs. Battaglia that the amount stipulated would not be sufficient to care for the needs of the child. and herself, but these were hard times and he had no desire to make a condition that would be unreasonable. He added that as soon as conditions inn proved he would make arrangements to have the husband make payments against the arrears due her.
 He continued the case against Battaglia for one month and cau- toned the probation officer to re- port the first lapse in the weekly payment.
 Battaglia stated. when asked by the court if he could meet the re- quirements, that he could do so.

Biqqest Thrill Was Home Steal By TAYLOR
TIMED PITCH
Of HEV|NG
TOSCORE

Probably the greatest disap-
pointment Joe Mccarthy ever ex-
perienced next to losing the
worlds series of 1929 was when
the Wilkes-Barre team Of the
New York State League dropped
the pennant to Utica in 1912. It
was in 1912 that the Barons won
IS consecutive victories, lost one
game and then started another
squirt that counted for six VIC
tories in seven games.
The Barons held the lead in
that pennant race right down to
the last day of the season. Ar
rangements had already been made
to take a transforming trip to
Cuba. TIE Barons beat Scranton,
and there was great celebration
in the Wilkes-Barre clubhouse.
Bill Clymer bought the drinks
and cigars. The boys whooped
it up.
Utica Takes Flag
Then Clymer called Syracuse
on the long distance telephone.
for Utica was to play the Stars
that day, and Bill wanted to
know how his rivals made out.
He got Jim Monk on the phone.
"HOw did Utica do tOday?"
piped Bill.
"WOn the pennant," replied
Jim. "SOrry, Bill"
''What did you say?" replied
the aStOunded ClymeF. "WhO
won the pennant?"
Utica won the pennant.
They played Syracuse q dOu-
bIe-header and took both
games. They just nOSed/ out
WiIkeS-Barre," replied Monk.
Now, there was a diSappoint-
ment. The trip to Cuba was off
and the Barons silently packed
their bundles and faded off into
the winters retirement.
AS Joe told the story Of that de-
feat, crushing as it was, he smiled
grimly and said reminiScently:
''WeII, I've had many laugh
since then. ] guess it all evens
ND. Wait them out and you're
a long way ahead. I'm with the
Yankees now.
'"The play that gave me the
greatest thrill" continued Joe
was last August in Chicago
when Danny Taylor stole home
against the Giants and won
the game for us.
The Giants got a run early
when OFT and Hogan hit safely,
but we got two on hits by VIII
SON, Taylor and Hartnett. They
tied in the first half Of the
ninth on hits by Terry, OFT and
Jackson. In the last half OF
the ninth Taylor singled and
stole second. He went to third
on a wild throw. Kelly famed,
but Hartnett and Bell walked,
bringing Bush to the plate.
Hitch in Heving's Motion
"There was a managers gam
BILE. Would it be right to take
Bush out in the ninth with
two out after q great game, or
do something else, / gambled.
Heving pitched two strikes and
I tipped the steal sign to Tay-
lOr.
"I noted q slight hitch in
Heving'S motion and timed it.
Taylor didn't 60 on the first
pitch, but he did 60 on the
next one. Heving pitched a
curve ball, Bush took 1t and
Taylor slid in.

Old-timers who pick up today's

Star duckpin tournament tonight

one is playing a trick on them,
and are printing a list of entries
of some tournament run off ten

KruaSS Leads Old-TimerS
Leading the parade Of the old
'swar-horSes" Is Harry KruaSS, the
dean of all bowlers. Crowding
him for the limelight IS Harry
"Pop" HALEY, the patron saint
of local bowlers, young and old.
None can resist that beaming,
baby-pink face, ringing laughter
and hallow of grey hair which
fringes his head.
Then comes Joe Michaud,
the oldest bowler in point
of years, and once one OF
the brightest stars in an Inn
mortal constellation.
Arthur Urban, Andy Goddard
Jimmy Jolliffe, Earle Lewis, Joe
Mulroe, follow, and last, but lar
from least, George L. 1semann'
the man who can't be CLASSIFIED.
"A doddering veteran and a roLllcK'
ing youngster, George, 2 pro
moter of most of the matches
which kept bowling fans agog
is years ago, has added to ms
activities. While as a promoter
he is without peers, as a bowler
gorgeous George doesn't have to
concede too much to the top
notcherS. :,
Gossip-mongerS would have 1t
that Harry Kraus has changed
his attitude toward duckpins, and
has been putting in many secret
practice Icks. These go as far
as to insinuate that by next sea-
son "Ole Nose" will be shooting
in regular competition.
Harry 81 still in the prime OF
life, in perfect physical condl-
ton, and would have no trouble
resuming that exalted place ne
once held. His return would be
a boon as the crying need OF
local duckpins is an outstanding
star. 81
Recreation Sends Delegates
The Recreation Alleys will have
three powerful contenders, in Joe
Overend, Dave Cox and Ralph
McReady. Overend shot 2O3
early this season and McReady,
a youngster, piled up 1872 not

the ages upon the various forms Of life
in past prehistoric periods. We become
particularly conscious as we go into the
arid regions of the significance of water.
1t is a marvellous sight to see in an
area which has perhaps three or four
rains a year, great orchards and farms
producing oranges, apples, grapes, al
falfa, cattle, hogs poultry. due to the
water of the distant mountain giving
life to the arid plain.
The reason why we must work To-

We are just beginning to realize that

and water supply; that the presence
or absence of trees and plants on noun

with floods and droughts; that over

and droughtS in another State.
Throughout the ages nature has devel-

have destroyed that by cutting forests.
by varying the normal life OF the plain

fires and committing a whole series of

If we can act in harmony with those
laws, If we can work in orpanIzed

Many Lessons to Learn.
In the majority Of contests between

in about 85 per cent Of the subjects
under dispute. 1t is going to be impor-
tant for us to learn how to keep out OF
the zone OF decisions by political meth

our whole future depends. No doubt
we will have many bitter lessons to
