viewpoint the first committee, on promotion of trade, and the fifth. on methods of economic co-opera- ton. might be most Important. From the world viewpoint it seem ed that the coinmittee on commer- ctal relations with foreign nations, would loom large.
 It IS thisS committee which will act as a brake on any over optim4 'istic schemes of the trade promo ton committee.
 Though most of the opening speeches at this conference of family of nations com prising one fourth the world were optimistic, a majority of the spokesmen for the ten units represented importance of world trade to them, and the im- possibility, of trying to make a closed shop of the empire.
 It was Stanley Baldwin, promis- ing that Great Britain whose prime minister he was could grant wider mother country's new high tariff system, who pointed out that 70 per cent of the empires trade was with foreign nations.
 N. c. Havenga, South Africa, brought out most clearly the al- most general view that the empire can not be self-contained unit under present conditions.
 J. c. Coates, New Zealand, got closest to specific facts in his speech demanding quota restrictions on imports of meat, dairy products

 Ottawa. Ont, July i22- (U. E. J. Five committees began work to-day on trade problems sukgeated for negotiation if speeches that opened the British Empire economic cons ference, charged with the job of drumming Qp trade among empire units.
 There was an indication of the conferences scope in the list of major committees agreed upon: promotion of empire trade, ciis- toms administrations, commercial relations with foreign nations, methods of economic cooperation and monetary and financial ques- tions.
 Promotion of trade among the units of the empire naturally came first.
 Chief delegates of Great Britain and some of the greatest dominfons yesterday outlined concrete aims, and offers upon which it was pos- sible to begin the weeks of tedious and delicate negotiations that may eliminate in series of trade agree ments that will have worldwide repercussions.
 Delegates met this morning to discuss among themselves the ex- act proposals they will make be- fore the committees, and the lead- ing delegates assembled to pick out the personnel of the five major com mittees.

Defendant Files Notice Of Appeal
 To Supreme Court
Finn Holds Damages in Tune Wit Evidence Presented at Trial Waiter Madday Alleged Boardef, Sergi Nilitko Stole Love and Affections of Wife

Judge Edward J. Finn denies the motion to set aside the s4,50o verdict in favor of Walter Mad day against ssrsi Nikitko, both of this city, in a decision handed down in the common pleas court today. The plaintiff was award cd that sum by q jury several weelrg ago on the plaintiffs claim that the defendant stole the love and affection of Walters wife while Sergi was a boarder at the Madday home.
 Judge Finn finds the damages not excessive and adds that the jury could reasonably have found from the evidence that the de- fendant a1ienated the love and af- lection of the plaintiffs wife. As to the credibility of the witnesses. the court points out 1t was up to the jury to judge. Notice of an appeal to the supreme court from the judges decision was filed Wl1n the clerk of the court later. :.
 Attorneys Michael ". Blansheld and Sidney s. Cassel appeared Tor the plaintiff. Attorneys William B Fitzgerald and Fred c. Bauby represented the defendant.

the damage suit of Mary stack against Sears 6 Roebuck Company In which the plaintiff sought to recover for injuries she claimed she suffered through d defective washing machine purchased at the defendants store. Judge Finn finds that the plaintiff failed to prove the machine defective and that she had used 1t previous to being injured. He also points out that if there was any irregularity in the machine the plaintiff could have called on company repair men who would have repaired 1t. This, she neglected to do, the court finds. Attorney ]. Gregory Lynch
 appeared for the plaintiff. At torney John H. Cassidy represent ed the defendant.
 In the other decision Judge Finn finds the issues in favor of
 the defendant in the complaint and for the plaintiff on the cross complaint in the case of James w. Doyle against Frank J. Null laney. The suit arose from an auto crash on Baldwin street on last January 14th. Judge Finn finds the accident was caused by a third machine.

 It was Russia to which Bennett referred when he protested against Engiand's imports of wheat and timber from nations which have "state controlled standards of liv- ing. State controlled labor. state aided dumping dictated by high state policy"
 But it was pointed out that for Britain to exclude the cheap Rus- sian products would send them, priced even cheaper, to some other country-there to depress the world price for Canadian as well as other products.

COHEN NEW HERO OF NORDIC FANS
 AT SECOND BASE

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 15.-Scan- dinavian Minneapolis thinks Andy Cohen is just swell
 Andy is the new second base man of the Minneapolis American Association club, and the sport scribes call Cohen the fans darling.
 This brings recollections of the time Cohen tried to answer John McGraw's prayer for a Jewish ball player to give the Bronx a new hero and accelerate the turnstiIes. In this instance Andy has an- swered Donie Bush's prayer for a second baseman.
 Cohen is hitting around 1885 and is fielding well. He seems to have overcome his old weakness of do- ing his running in one place, which cost him major league prestige. Co., hen became available for the league leading Millers when the high priced Jack Saltgaver, an ex-Yan- kee, was sent over to Newark and ot. Andy'ss job.~ss as s.a s..7s.s.-a.... s.. tir

|A ALAN eoUlD

One of the most satisfactory answers I have found to the de- mand of boxing fandom for a system of scoring the rounds that will inform them how matters are progressing among the offic- ials' minds, is in a ruddy faced strong-armed Los Angeles referee Lieut.. Jack Kennedy, U. s. N.
 Kennedy is Q familiar figure to Southern California fight fans but he is a novelty otherwise, es- pecialiy to an easterner who has been peering for a number of years at the professional fights and wondering just how many of our better judges and referees reach their conclusions.
 Whether the gallery boys like it or not, they know how Kennedy stands. He may indicate how he scored at the end of each round by pointing to either corner, or, as he did after eight rounds of slasfling punching in the Steve Hamas-Lee Ramage fight in Los Angeles, he may demand atten- tion and, with gestures and. to the accompaniment of the crowds au- dible count, toll his score for each fighter.

 THIRD CAME OF WORLDS SERIES
Elks Select Curve-b b a Il Pitcher to Check Vets
 Pennant Drive

In the hope of checking the wild rush of the American Legion club toward the 1892 City League Pennant, the Elks today will send Ken Junge back to the mound to pitch his second game of the series. The Elks lost the opening game of the series on the short end of a two to nothing score behind his pitching last Friday.
 However, it wasn't Ken's fault. He Leld the Vets to three hits and but fer an error in the, infield in the first inning after two men were out. not tally would have been scored on him.
 Possessing a two game lead, which gives them big advantage for tbe series, the Legionaires are going to gamble with Pierre Cooper -an Elk castoff-in tonight's game. That will give Jack Schmitz, winner of the first battle, another day to recuperate. Cooper, who pitched one of the last games on the regular schedule for the Vets, showed he had some good stuff and plenty of smoke.
 Bobby Coughlin probably will be in the the harness tonight for his first game of the series. This will add to the Elks' strength as it released Bob Boyd for outfield duty where he is badly needed It will also increase the potential hitting power of the Bills. No other changes in either lineup is ex- pected to be made. The game is billed to start at 6 D. m.

running stop of Blake'S grounder near first and threw out the Vet backstop.
 Two hits and an error gave the Vets three runs in the sixth. Mathi- son opened with a smash over the fence at the little green house for the circuit. Baker grounded out to Andrews at first and Bill Schmitz popped out to Andy. Garn's scorching grounder was handled nicely by Roller but the Elks' shortstop threw low to first and Abby was safe. Erskina smashed the ball into berry patch back of left for the circuit, scoring Abby ahead of himeslf. Worth famed for the third out.
 Two m seventh
 Manning started the seventh but pitched to only two men. He walk ed Haines and Grummett homered 70 the little green house. Koski jook up the burden at that point. 0rme robbed Blake of a hit by taking his line drive off the ground, making a fine running catch. Mathison grounded out to first S. Baker bounced one off a parked automobile back of center for three bases. Junge threw Bill Schmitz out at first.
 One in Eighth
 The Vets chalked up their only score off Koski in the eighth. With one out, Erskine singled to left, went to second on a wild pitch and scored on Worth's single to left when Orme juggled the ball It was Worths third hit of the day.
 Haines rapped the first ball pitch ed to deep center and it looked good for at least three bases. Me speared the ball after a great run and doubled Worth up at second. Good fielding saved Koski troubled in the ninth. Grum- nett led off with a smoking drive that Big Mac nabbed with div Ing catch. Blake was out Roller ,o Andrews. Mathison's long high 1 fly between right center was spear ed by D, Baker after a long hard .un almost to the automobile line.

young heavyweight with terrific punch, but his legs apparently will keep him from advancing very far in the professional game.
 Football and other sports seem to have taken some of the spring from S5eve's underpinning. He has to wear an athletic bandage around one knee He so wearied himself trying to put the crusher on Ram age in the early rounds that he wore himself down to a point of exhaustion.
 Both fighters had to hold each other up at several stages of one of the most exciting heavyweight braWls we have watched in some time.
 Ramage, just a school boy, is game, shifty and has useful left but his fighting equipment other wise is not calculated to carry him into the front ranks. A few more beatings such as he took from Hamas will do him no good.

It was four three -and-one," in Hamas' favor, as Kennedy took the crowd into his confidence. The immediate effect was to inspire the Penn State slugger to put on brisk finish and settle all ques- tion of the outcome.
 It is obvious that it takes pe- culiar type of referee of unques- tionarls integrity and forcefullness to act as Kennedy does. This na- val officer was born to command respec5 and inspire confidence.
 Any hesitation immediately may be seized as a sign of weakness or grounds for suspicion. Then too, here two judges, as well as a referee, enter into the decision, some complications are presented in giving the onlookers the round- by-round score.
 S5lll, the opportunity for work able scoring system, open and above board, exists for some such group as the National Boxing As- sociation to consider and act up- on.
