Mex Tuesday witnesses the start of the las. lap in the Eagles bowling tournament. It means seven weeks of spirited bowling with two teams placed on the we'll known and well worn "spot." In the American league seven teams are centering their efforts on Art Enhorning's pace setters, willie the cry in the Nation al league is to get Seery and his gang.

 With both teams fighting for a definite purpose, the game Is ex- pected to develop into the most keenly fought ice contest of the season in New Haven. The Eagles are striving with might and main to pull themselves into third place and the playoffs for the league cham pionship while the Indians are find- ably threatened by the last minute rush of the second place Providence Reds. For each team, victory Is almost imperative and that, added to the keen rivalry that has always existed between New Haven and Springfield hockey teams, should make the evening one of. much heated action. .,s'Ta rr
 Hit Their Stride :,
 New Haven turned back the third place Boston Tigers last Sunday night at the Arena by a 2-1 mar gin and that victory enabled the stars-spangled sextet to remain close in the running for third place. A victory tomorrow night over the Indians would bring Tom Towards crew to within one. game of the coveted third position and would tighten up the three corenered race for the position between New Ha- ven, Boston and Philadelphia con |siderably.
 The; Eagles will be at full strength for the game with Roy Burmeister. speediest skater in the league. back at his regular center position following short stay with the New York Americans. The In- dians. too. will be primed for a real tussle.

their being held invalid have been far

OF course. before cases Of this kind
can be brought before the Supreme
Court of the United States, the patents
must have been held valid by the
United States Court of Appeals, so that
there was much said on both sides in
arguing the question of validity.
The most notable of these patents
was that relating to the coating OF
citrus fruits with borax, which prac-
tically overcame the very great losses
in shipment due to that form Of decay
known as blue mold"
The patent on dry ice furnished, he
points out, the substantial basis for the
large industry built up in this field.
The holding by the Supreme Court that
the patent was invalid was a heavy
blow to that industry as we'll as great
