'
 New York, Oct 30.-UP)- Wearing my favorite disguise. that of an unemployed 5awer-off of sawed-off shotguns, went to Madison Square Garden last night to see for myself whether wrest- ling was crooked, on the level. or just a balanced blend of fraud and righteousness.
 My survey, made from point so close to the ringside that only nine rows of Ta1mmany politicians were between me and the artists, cover ed the entire program of seven matches beginning with a duel be- tween Tor Johnson of Sweden and Mays McLain of Iowa, and ending with Hans Steinke of somewhere and Earl McCready of somewhere else.
 Five of the matches revealed nothing, so expertly did the per formers move through their scenario. But the other two, namely Rudy Dusek vs Dr Harry Fields and Everett Marshall vs Dick Shikat, furnished the in- formation I sought. From them and will the trumpeters please trumpet now-I reached the con-i clusion that wrestling, as she is wrestled in these parts, is highly harmonious mixture of mayhem and monkey business.
 Not So Bad
 Last nights mayhem, or so it seemed, was furnished by Rudy Dusek, and the good Doctor Fields. If their bout was framed, so was Bull Run, Chickamauga, and Gus ter's last Stand. Dusek, a member of the family whose proud boast it is that the "sun never sets but what some Dusek boy in in the middle of a flying mare some where" started working on Doctor Fields with the opening bell. AL ternating between the doctors head, middle and legs with a nice regularity, Rudy scratched, gouged, kicked, slugged. slapped and smalled. Cooperating to the full est, Doctor Field replied in kind, revealing a bedside manner that, if ever used on his future patients,

 | BASKETBALLLO
Especial to The Democrat)


 Terryville, Oct S0.-(UP)-Sev- eral changes were made in the charter of the state Polish Basket ball legaue at the meeting of dele gates in St Casimir's hall, Sunday. Plans were discussed for both the boys and girls season. which is expected to get under way the third week in November. Among the important decisions made at the meeting was that no players could be aided to any of the teams in the league after the third game of the first round and that all games would be conducted with central board officials with the ex- ception of games played in Thompsonville where Massachu- setts officials may be used.
 Last season several teams were able to strengthen their teams for the final games of the league sea- son by adding high school players who had finished their school playing.
 Ten Teams
 The following towns were repre- sented with four delegates each: Meriden, Hartford, Bristol, Thomp- sonville, Rockville, New Britain, Union City, Waterbury, New Ha- ven and Terryviife. It was decided not to add any more teams to the league. although applications had been received from three other places for places in the league.
 The officers were elected as fol- lows: President, William Rogalis. Rockville; first vice president, AL fred Bulka, Thompsonville; sec- ond vice president. Victoria Kos wicz; chaplain. Rev J. Balasa. Hartford; treasurer, Frank Tizoo- zka, Hartford; secretary, Vera Pulaski. Meriden; assistant secre- tary. Miss Zebrowsk, Bristol.
 Late in the afternoon, refresh ments were served, following which a social time was enjoyed. It was decided to have a meeting of the managers and captains of each team in Bristol, on Friday even- ing at St Stanislaus church audi torium at which time, the sched- ule for the season will be com pleted.

POKER PIN FATHER

If any of the persons in the large crowd that attended the fourth instalIment of the Poker league at tue North End "Y" last Thursday evening went with the expectation to witness any thriII- ing games, they were not disap- pointed.
 They saw the Aces take two close exciting games from the Jokers, the first with roll-off after tie game. Jolly Joker, Harry Zello had his submarine ball working to per- lection. But alas, while Harry was in, Fred Gemino was out. That is, Fred was in the alleys, but Harry wished he wasn't.
 Gemino looked like 8 rookie from Maine. Even when he chopped, he hit the side of the naples and not the center. His generally perfect ball was daisy. You know. daisies go all over the lot, too.
 Harry began asking waivers on Freddy, but then Gemino reversed his form and was some pumpkins tAAS fAot 6aAAS Wlth O GQtS 1fUs
 Stance and Hickey wosl two stir ring games from the Diamonds by one pin and kept pace. with the first place Aces. Rickcy's power plays when the going was tough completely bewildered the Dizzy Diamonds. Then also kept the spectators awake. Bunny Boy Hen- ny salvagcd the middle game by popping up Joe D'Elia long enough so that he rolled Ill.
 Ray Ointment of the Jacks was absent by popular demand and Jim Accousti came through single handed against Bert and Kelly of the Hearts and won the opening contest. Jim became worried, how evr, that Ouimet night show up in time to participate in the last two games. This. upset Jim so much that he nervously tossed these two games away.

That's what Memphis BiIi said during post mortem over the. erstwhile world champions. And he said whole lot more too. He emphasized that the Giants did not lay down in the closing days of the pennant race. ''They were worn down from two years of tops speed playing"
 The Bunk!
 Moreover, 1t wasn't true that Schumacher and had a fight, or that Hubbell didn't speak to me during the last month of the race.
 What about that story that the Giants were considering trading Hubbell and $50.000 to the St Louis Cardinals for Dizzy Dean? Why, that story makes me laugh. Hell, I wouldn't trade 'em even. I'll admit. however, Dizzy, and the other Dean, too, are great pitchers"
 Ready for Business
 The Giants are ready to "spend a lot of dough" for shortstops he said. This would enable him to shift Travis Jackson from short to theird where he is particularly strong. He expects to keep Critz at second. If Terry can find A good first baseman to replace him. self, he will do so.

BALTIMORE FEARS
D0CkAGE RULING
Attack on Free Privileges at Rail
Piers Regarded as Serious
Threat to Port.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. September IT,
Having no private or municipal piers
the possibility that free dockage priv
ileges at railroad piers may be done
away with by Federal order offers q
serious threat to the port Of Balti-
more, according to G. H. Pouder, di-
rector of the Export and Import
Bureau.
Mr.. Pouder has returned after at
tending a session at New York of
the American Association of Port
Authorities. at which Joseph G. East
man, Federal co-ordinator of trans
portation, renewed his arguments for
abolition of free dockage for steam
ships at railroad piers.
Mr.. Pouder pointed out that Balti-
more in particular would suffer from
such a rule, since practically all of
its piers are owned by railroads. The
free dockage now offered incoming
ships, he said, is one of the principal
port attractions and to do away with
it would rob the port of one of its
advantages.
He declared that If Mr.. Eastman
carried out his intention to force
adoption Of the plan the Baltimore
group would insist that all private or
municipal piers on the Atlantic sea-
board be made to charge a uniform
fee for dockage, equivalent to that
required at railroad piers.

ance, Pond said, "Yes, Capt. Warns
once remarked, Not many turned out
to drill today. You had better take
it up with them"
He testified that Capt. Willmott
customarily excused men on duty from
attending fire and boat drills.
Pond told of a last-minute search
through cabins and lockers for life
belts. He said that accompanying en-
gineers forced the doors of some cabins
successful in providing some passen-
gers with belts.
The second steward testified that he
would have taken away any infiam-
mable polishes and discharged those
found using them. However, he re-
marked, he had never discovered any
such materials.
Hoover persisted in questioning wit
nesses minutely about the writing room
locker, source of the fire.
Pond said that he knew the locker
WELL; had personally supervised the
placing therein of blankets last April.
Three men - crew members - had
keys to that locker besides himself,
the witness said.
Saw Door Tested.
Questioned about the operation of
the water-tight door leading to the
writing room docker, Pond declared
that he had seen the door tested on a
a number of occasions by engineers
and inspectors.
1T operated all right" he said.
He said that it had never occurred
to him to keep the door closed, a state
ment which caused Hoover to remark,
1T seems to me that If that door were
kept closed it would lessen the spread
of fire"
Pond said he had no chance to close
it during the fire.
THE smoke was too thick" he ex-
planned.
Hoover asked about the personnel
Of the stewards-their nationality in
particular.
'The stewards were Of mixed ma
tionalities," Pond replied. Most of
them were Americans.
What do you know Of drunkenness
among the crew." Hoover questioned.
WAS there any?"
Naturally" the witness responded.
Never Got Drunk on Duty.
when we were in port some Of the
stewards got drunk, but not on duty.
I would not permit it."
Hoover led the witness back over
his testimony about the captains
complaint of non-attendance at fire
and boat drills.
Pond said when an insufficient num-
ber Of crew members reported for drill,
the drill would be held over again"
There has been some criticism that
such a large number Of the crew es-
capped and so many passengers did not
Why was that?" Hoover asked.
Pond expressed the opinion that
many passengers had jumped over
board prematurely.
I'VE all tried to quiet them" he de-
clared.
When we saw some of the rescuing
boats come over, then I advised some
of them slide down the ropes" he tes-
titled.
He said he saw the engine room
crew come up on deck, anywhere be-
tween $3.50 and 4 o'clock"
He estimated that 200 or $50 pas

many others"

about half past four"
The witness said that prior to the
fire alarm there was no commotion on
the ship.
Fire Drills Held Regularly.
Hoover questioned Wright about fire
drills on the liner and he replied that
they were held regularly.
Wright was asked if he had ever
seen the fire screen doors on ships in
