What has happened to the patronage Connecticut democrats are waiting for from Washington? ? This is the question most frequent 1y asked now by the democrats of the state. Despite the fact that United States Senator Augustine Lonergan spent Q half hour in conference yesterday afternoon at ! Washington with President Roosc- welt no announcement was made tending to show that the patron age situation is in any way clear ing up in Connecticut.
 Therefore the fight between the various candidates for federal po- sitions continues. Just what was discussed in the conference be- tween President Roosevelt and Senator Lonergan remains q mat ter of conjecture. After the half- hour conference the senator de- clined any comment. However, 1t is felt that patronage was included in the discussion. The president left immediately afterwards for his home at Hyde Park. New York.
 This is taken to indicate that the president may not bother with the Connecticut squabbling for some time unless he intends to spend his ''rest" period at Hyde Park actually worrying and work ing.
 Before leaving for New York yesterday President Roosevelt made scores of important appoint ments in various states but poor Connecticut did not get single patronage job.
 "Why?" everybody Is asking. And the answer Is felt to lie in the fact that while the new guard, headed by Dr E. c. Dolan of Man chester and National Committed man Archibald McNeil of Bridge port is supposed to have the inside track the president is reluctant to turn down the wishes of Senator Lonergan.
 It Is claimed that the president has decided to ignore the past |precedent of letting the senators be the patronage bosses. How ever, 1t appears that he Is afraid to do this because f ho does he might find hostile senate when the next session of Congress con- veneD.
 Reports still persist that Dr Dolan will be tho chief internal revenue collector for Connecticut. However. everybody Is wondering why, If Dr Dolan is so close to President Roosevelt. the latter

MIAMI, Fla, March 21.-Humor
is a precious thing in any profess
sion, in baseball doubly so because
of its rarity, and the Brooklyn club
is privileged to have among its en-
ployes the standout humorist in
baseball, Casey Stengel.
John McGraw was telling me at
a dinner here the other night of
Arlie Latham, the first of the base
ball comedians. HE gave me many
laugh" said McGraW, and in re-
turn I'd be willing to give Arlie my
last dime" Such is the price that
so aStute judge as McGraw places
on laughs in baseball.
At that same affair, Stengel sided
up to McGraw on the dais, whiS-
pered word or two to his old boss
and slipped away, leaving Mac con-
vulsed with chuckles. Jack Hen
bricks, former manager Of the Cincy
Reds, turned to me. There's a
guy" said Jack, indicating StengeI,
who gave McGraw more sleepless
nights and more laughs than any
other man in baseball. And the old
man loves him"

Casey Stengel Is Always Handy
With Comedy to Cheer Players

gels worth to the Brooklyn club.
Where Max Carey, a former divin-
ity student, might be inclined to
hold bit aloof from his players,
Casey holds daily CAB sessions in
the lobby of the Miami Biltmore,
awed not a bit by its splendor. His
leathery face, mobile and expressive,
works overtime as he relates his
experiences, actual and fancied.
Casey was the hero of the world
series in 1928, even though the
Giants were beaten by the Yankees.
He won two of the games with a
home run, one of them by a 1-to-0
score. And he swears that the first
home run, which he hit inside the
park at Yankee stadium in the
opening game, almost prevented his
getting married.

who by now had his second wind

ton. How? How?" snorted STEM

tons to help him. Here's how-all

Loops Formed

The Indianapolis Amateur Base
ball Association announced through
its secretary, F. Earl Geider. that
eight leagues already have affiliated
with the association. The associa-
tom anticipates one of the biggest
seasons in history This is made
possible, Geider stated, by the as
ISOLATION permitting Sunday leagues
to compete in the city championship
series. Every league team will be
a member of the association this
year, which means that about twen-
ty leagues, or 100 teams, with the
number of players approximately
1000, will be recognized.
President Arthur E. Carr has
called special meeting for this
evening at the association office
for the purpose of revising rules
whereby players may be permitted
to play on Saturday and Sunday
teams. All officers and members of
the newly formed leagues are re-
queSted to attend
