MOOSE CAPTURE

Fmal-inning Win Over Elks

could come from behind. They
downed the Elks in a last inning
rally that netted two runs to burst
the 3 to 3 tied score and cinch for
the Moose team the championship
of the first half of the 1897 Gastin-
eau Channel League Baseball cam
paign.
The Puppies had gone TO the front
in the third inning, putting together
a trio of singles for one run and
being handed a second tally by Joe
Shows throw for distance over third
base. The Moose got one of those
runs back in their part of the third,
two Elks errors and steal letting
Kimball work his way around the
cushions.
Double Play
Adding two more markers in the
fifth, on a single, an error, walk,
and Tom Martins second two-bag-
ger of the night before the squirt
was cut short by sparkling double
play the Moose took their turn in
front, holding their one-run edge
only until the Elks next came to
bat, when a stroll, Moose bobble,
and a single put across the third
Elk run to knot the score at Sail.
After a scoreless last of the sixth
and first of the seventh an extra
inning battle seemed imminent,
drawing still closer when Hawkins
long fly was gathered in by John
son for the first out of the Moses
last time at bat in the regular in
nings. Bob Kimball, however, was
called a halt on his mound chores
for the day, SO started the ball roll
ing with single Kimball was able
to take second when Hagerup mis-
judged the ball and 1T bounded past
him,
Haglund in Spotlight
Fritz Schmitz followed with sim
gle that sent Kimball to third, while
he swiped second, himself, to set
the stage for Hiding Haglund, who
grabbed the spotlight for the second
time during the game with double
down the right field line that sent
two Moose scores, one more than
necessary, across the platter. Hag-
lund had previously flashed in the
fourth, when he scooped up Kelly
Blake's seeming sure-hit drive over
second to throw Blake out at first
from center field.
Martin Top Cl0uter
Martins pair of doubles in three
times at bat marked him as the top
clouter of the ball game, Grummett
and johnson ranking next with two
singles each in three times up.
Pete Schmitz' twirling for the
losers was not half bad and he de-
served a better fate than was his,
four Elk errors, at critical moments,
playing havoc Kimball allowed ten
hits and was in considerable hot
water during the game, but still
kept with him his often-demon-
strated ability to Houdini out of
the deepest of pits.
With the first-half title securely
in the possession of the Moose,
League President William A. Holz-
heimer cancelled the last of the
postponed games from the opening
stretch of the season, another Elk
Moose clash, and announced that
the second half schedule will be
picked up with the game set for
Friday evening between the Paps

TOLEDO, Ohio. A persevering
thief stole the same car twice within
an hour here, only to have an even-
more persevering deputy recover 1t
both times.
The officer, Elmer Tiff, said he
noticed . l4-year-old boy driving the
car apprehensively, but the boy parked
the car and fled when he sought to
question him.
Tiff notified the owner but while
that individual was en- route with his
ignition keys, the car disappeared
again. Tiff, unaware of the second
theft, saw the same boy driving a car,
chased him, and discovered that it
was the same machine. This time
he hung onto both thief and automo-
bile.

was of course, an effort to get the first
bid in Following his partners double,
Mr.. Pate quite properly responded with
his four-card major suit in preference
to one no-trump. North was justi-
fed in jumping to four since he was
prepared to play the hand at game
even though his partner held an ab-
solute bust. Mr. Pate's big for six
spades was based entirely on con-
fidence in his partners soundness, He
reasoned as follows:
For all my partner knows, I have
an absolute bust and four little spades.
In spite Of that, he has jumped to
game entirely by himself. Therefore,
not only do my two aces represent
two sure tricks, but they also should
be particularly valuable in making
other cards in my partners hand good.
Surely my partner has solid trumps
Hence the fact that I have but six
spot high is Of no harm. The only
danger is that he will have two dia-
monds. But II he has two losing
diamonds in his hand and also misses
both the ace Of clubs and ace of
hearts. his jump to game has been
entirely unsound. But since he misses
both the heart and club aces, he
would not have jumped to game with
two losing diamonds. Therefore, I
am willing to bid the slam"
There was, Of course, nothing to the
play Of the hand. Mr.. Pate simply
took three rounds Of trumps and then
trumped the fourth round OF hearts
in his own hand, which made the rest
Of dummy good. losing only the one
diamond trick.

SELF HYPNOTIZED
 WOMAN MAY DIE
Mrs. Helen Wills Love Wis., ited By Judge in Trial
 Case

Los Angeles, March 16 - (UP)- Mrs. Helen Wills Love may die in the self-induced coma designed to save her from prison sentence for killing her husband, the county jail physician said today. In the fifth day of a stupor into which she fell after telling the jailers that she could kill herself by will power. the 31-year-ol,. woman appeared to be losing strength and slipping deeper into mental oblivion. The resources of medicine and psychiatry had fail ed to rouse her. Dr. Benjamin Blank the jail physician, warned that con- plications might prove fatal.
 Judge Not Convinced
 Superior Judge Frank M. Smith waited to sentence her for second degree murder for shooting her hus- band at a night club last New Years eve. The judge was not con- vinced that her condition was not simulated. Last night he convened court at ner bedside, in the hospital ward of the jail, and called Dr. Blank to testify. Throughout the proceedings Mrs. Love lay on her back with her arms folded across her breast. Her face was drawn and emotionlsss, her breathing slow. Her lips twitched.

CITY IS LITTLE HURT BY STORMS
Telephone Service Hard- est Hit Forty Men
 Worked All Night

Electric service was interrupted several times, a number of tele- phones were rendered out of service, motor traffic was reduced to a min imunl and inter-city transportation service was forced to fall behind schedule as a result of the late-sea- son rain, sleet and snow storm which struck the city yesterday and continued until the, early hours of this morning. Today the city was practically back to normal as the slusl1 in tho streets faded away and the ice on electric and telephone wires melted.
 With the mercury lowering just around the freezing mark the rain and sleet was able to form an icy coating on the electric wires. Tree branches were also weighted down with the ice and in many instances limbs fell across wires interfering with service.
 Emergency Crews At Work
 Throughout the night emergency crews of the Connecticut Light and Power Company were kept busy answering calls in various sections of the city. Telephone linemen had telephones back in service early to- day. The power and telephone com- panies considered the interruptions light considering the amount of ice that formed on the wires.
 Street department employees were busy toda.y digging the ice- crusted snow away from the storm sewers

INTERVENTION IN

Lo, son, March 16 - (UP) - The prospect of recalling foreign vol unteers serving in Spain, estimated at 100000 to 125,000, suffered a grave setback today at meeting of the non-intervention sub-com- mittee at the foreign office.
 Disagreement arose between Rus sia on the one hand and Germany and Italy on the other.
 Joachim Won Ribbentrop of Ger man wand Dino Grandi of Italy an- nounced their refusal to discuss the problem of indirect intervention particularly financial aid to either party in the Civil War - until the fate of the Bank of Spain's gold deposits abroad is settled.
 This attitude conflicted sharply with the latest Soviet note to the on-intervention committee. pro- claiming Russia's unwillingness to enter into any discussion affecting the assets of the Spanish govern ment as incompatible with Spanish sovereignty.
