ALGERIAN PROFESSOR
 IS VISITING ALASKA

Galloping around the mid-season bases:
 What price glory when you find the fans booing and the ball writers razzing the great Walter Johnson over his handling of PITCHERS, while metropolitan writers suggest Babe Ruth ought to take himself out of the game so the Yankees can have a better chance to win the penriant. .. Pitching and infield troubles have been much more costly to the New Workers than anything Ruth has done or neglected to do this season, on top of which the loss of Earle Combs is staggering blow.
 Carl Hubbell tanned the Ameri- can leagues Big Five in a row, only to lose "a pitching duel to Allyn Stout of the cellar cham pion Cincinnati Reds week later, but King Carl's support has been far from the best lately. :. The Giants gave their ace hurler some thing like five runs in three con- secutive games. ;. .. Who said the livclier ball would help other teams more than 1t would the Giants? Terry, Ott and Moore have been three of the league five leading hitters lately and the world champions are batting 20 points higher on the average than last season.

TERRELL AND GROVE

Wes Ferrel refused to sign a $10,000 contract with Cleveland this spring and remained hold out until traded to the Red Sox. -. Lefty Grove sold to Boston for over $10O,OO0, applied his foun- tain pen to $20,0O0 contract. {. Terrell, starting six weeks late, has won twice as many games for the Red Sox as Grove, so how can you figure profit and loss in such a business?
 Furthermore, the Phillies, who profited by more. than $100,000 in the sale of Chuck Klein and Virgil Davis, now have the most improved club in the National league and a stronger cast than last year. Manager Jimmy Wilson has turned up two of the years pitching sen- sations in Curt Davis, right -hander with upwards of dozen vic- tories to his credit at mid-season, and Fuel Moore, Chickasaw Indian from Tishomingo, Okla, via Gal weston and Baltimore.

MAY ORGANIZE
 SOCCER LEAGUE FOR CITY PLAY
Game Growing in Popular ity in States Requires
 Little Equipment

\ The soccer practice slated for last evening at the City Ball Park was cancelled, partly on account of the indictment weather, and partly on account of the sore mus cles from which most of the team candidates are suffering as a re- suit of the stiff workout Monday evening.
 However, the practices will con- tinue for the next week or so, as scheduled, although they will prob ably have to be held earlier in the afternoon, as the diamond is to be in use every evening in an effort to catch up on the inter rupted baseball schedule
 It is the hope of E. E. Slender, who is organizing the soccer team to give competition to the British sailors on the HMS Danae, due in Juneau August II, that enough in- terest may be aroused to justify the organization of a permanent city league.
 Resembles Other Games
 Soccer resembles, in it's rules of play football, hockey and basket ball. There are II men on each team, and they play on field about the same size as the regu- lation football field. The ball is round, and somewhat smaller than a basketball. The idea of the game is to put the ball into a goal about 2 feet by IA feet in dimensions, similar to those used in ice hockey, there being one at each end of the field. '''@ ''-) , II
 In play, the ball cannot be touched with the hands or elbows unless it be by accident. Other wise, penalties ensue Soccer is purely foot" ball game, and kicking is the approved method of propulsion, the only exception be- ing that the ball can be butted with the head.
 Supersedes Football
 The general popularity of soccer is generally conceded, and in intra- mural play, and to some extent inter-school play, it has superseded football in many eastern colleges. In Europe, it is to practically the entire continent what baseball is to the United States, and ice hock- ey to Canada.
 National leagues are organized in all European countries, and the international play-offs exceed in aroused interest the Worlds Series in American baseball.
 Soccer is particularly well-adapt- ed to city league play, and there are leagues in all the major Pacific Coast cities. One reason for it's popularity is the small amount of expensive equipment necessary, the principal items in the way of uniform being slt.Js similar to basketball regalia, and cleated football shoes.

Screaming Victims

. The lightning apparently hit an oil tank, and in an incredibly short time the liner was sheathed in flames. Screaming passengers were caught in their staterooms. Some managed to get out of doors or windows, but those who were not quick enough were lost.
 Most of the survivors were talk en aboard the liner Monarch of Bermuda, the Andre F. Lucken- bach and the City of Savannah. The others, pitifully few in num- Der, reached the beach. One wom- an, Mrs Howard Panino of Ban- gor, Pa., an expert swimmer, swam eight miles to shore through the heavy sea. Her husband jumped in with her but was believed drown- ed.
 Those who escaped were without funds and scantily clothed. Wire less messages from the rescue ships filled the air with messages from the fortunate ones, assuring anxi- ous relatives of their safety.
 Heartrendering Scenes
 Survivors had thrilling and some times heartrending stories to tell of their escape. The crew could not fight the furious fire and turned to aiding screaming women and frightened men.
 Sonora Renee Mendez Capote of Havana, told the United Press how she crawled desperately through a narrow window of her suite, with flames all around her, and man. aged to reach a lifeboat. Among those treated for shock  (Continued on Page n

Check=Up Disclosed That Fact-Many Local PeO=

None of the local steamship agencies had anybody from Water bury vicinity booked for return on the Morro Castle tris trip, check up disclosed. The last trip back however, had several local res idents aboard. Captain W. c. Will mot of the Morro Castle, who died from a heart attack sometime prior to the time that the boat was struck by lightning, was personal friend of Judge John F. McGrath and Henry Marendaz, head of one of the local steamship agencies.
 At the Marendaz, Harrington, Griner, and Sanditz and Mancini, Ruggiero and Palomba agencies it was stated that nobody had been booked by them for the return trip on the Morro Castle.
 It was explained early this morning, though, that Waterbury persons could have made accommo- dations direct through New York.
 All the agencies here were swamped with calls for informa- tion throughout the morning.

MAYOR HAYES TO HOLD OFFICES IN
 CITY AND STATE
If Elected Lieut. Gov He Has Legal Right to
 Both Places

Since the nomination of Mayor Frank Hayes of this city for the post of lieutenant-governo on the democratic state ticket, many have asked the question of whether or not he could hold that post, if elected, and at the same time re- main chief executive of Water bury. There is nothing illegal about the mayor holding both po- sitions, it has been learned, and by occupying two offices he will not be establishing precedent in Con- necticut.
 A great number of years ago Mayor Clifford Wilson of Bridge port was elected lieutenant-gover- nor of Connecticut. He held both posts at the same time and, ac- cording to those who were close watchers of politics at the time he performed the duties of the two offices very satisfactorily.
 Doubt Of Future Action
 Should Mayor Hayes be elected ieutenant-governo it is not known what he would do when the city election comes around next year. The lieutenant-governor's office. of course. only calls for continuous duty from January to May, inclusive, as senate presiding officer in the year that the legis- lature is in session.
 The legislature will convene next January and run to May. After that the lieutenant-governo will not be called upon to perform many duties at Hartford until after the ensuing state election. Mayor Hayes would have to preside as acting governor of the state, if elected lieutenant-governo at times when Governor Cross was out of Connecticut. These occasions are few and far between.
 The fact that the governor ana lieutenant-governor are not called upon to give much of their time to the state is reflected in the salaries that they receive. Governor Cros5 salary is only $4,O0O while that Of the lieutenant-governo is but $1,200, annually.
