William 4. Guilfoile
 Late Secretary of Knights of Columbus Remem- bered as Active Worker for St. Joseph's T. A.
 Society-Promoted Excursions to Coney Island.

Father Broderick was assigned to address the society.
 The influence of these good priests and other priests of the day over these young men, re- mains with those in a position to note 1t at the time. Billy Guil- foile was always monitor. That is, he lined up the crowd of hundred or so, in columns of twos, and of they marched to the scene of meeting. And 1t was seldom the roll didn't find each member in line. The power and authority of those older men, MT. McDon- aid, MT. Mcknight and MT. Freney weighed so heavily with those young fellows that they respected to the letter every order and command as given.
 And the days of the annual August excursion to Coney Island. Billy Guilfoile never missed one. He was always prominent in the sale of tickets, and his acknowl- edged honesty made him the &C., tual custodian of the funds, thousands of dollars, for the ex- cursion always took hundreds of families to the Coney Island shore on that particular day. Anyway, 1t was the only recreation for the young people of the city. There were no two weeks vacation in those days. The old buff wheel kept our nose to the grindstone on every other working day of the year.
 Billy Guilfoile is dead. We who knew him, and prized his &C., quaintanceship, feel he should have lived longer. He was entitled to it by reason of the exceptional life he lived, and the good he did in the years he was associated with us. Always spry and active, he never seemed to lose the snap and alertness of the days of old.
 We never even knew he was sick or ailed; he never showed 1t. His genial salutation and friendly smile was with him to the very last, all the more which made his death a surprise to us.
 His memory shall remain with those who knew him. why, be- cause they liked and have admir- ed him through their first knowl- ledge of him as true and faith full member of the old and now defunct Saint Joseph's temperance society.

others were smashed and sold as junk.
 The theft of the gratings caused statewide attention as 1t was an unusual type of crime. The high price of scrap-iron was believed re- Sponsible for the thefts.
 The arrest of Button came after thorough investigation by Trooper Santy of the local state police baf- racks.
 In local court yesterday Button was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Albert Zollo and bound over to the September term of the Wat erbury superior court. Bond of $2,500 was ordered and when Button could not finish it, he was taken to the New Haven county jail to await trial.

By THE OUT EASTER

There are many of out here who remember William F. Guil- foile, who was buried from his home in Oakland avenue on Mon day morning. Not that MT. Gull foile lived out this way, because he didn't. but somehow or other in the old days, or 35 and 70 years ago, we seemed to know each sec tion of the city from which the family sprang. There were Gull foiles in Brooklyn, in the Abriga- dor, and in the North End. We knew that Billy was north ender.
 There may have been many citizens, or individuals in existence during Billy Guilfoile's reign upon earth, but there was none better than he. We know 1t; we knew he man, not intimately. of course, for no one, outside of the little family circle, knew him closely. But we got to know him back in the middle nineties, when he was a little shaver" starting out in the world, and following the lead of such well-known temperance advocates as Jay. J. Mcdonald, James Mcknight, James H. Fren- ey and others, leaders in the move ment which brought Saint Jo- seph's Temperance society into existence. Every section of the city was represented, with the Gull foiles, the Dillanes, the Holly woods, the Hayes, and Keeleys coming from the north end, along with other fine young men of the day. They were proud to associate themselves with Saint ,Joseph's and their parents and friends were eager that they should. We were not eligible because of cer- tain obligations and rules of the the organization. But we were in the rooms often, and sat in the big easy chairs that first went into the cosy quarters of the club at the corner of East Main and Maple streets. And quite frequent ly, too, the fellows would let me join in their Sunday afternoon visit to old Saint Patrick's hall, for the regular monthly talk by the chaplain of the order, one of the priests of the good old Im- maculate Conception Church of the time. We recall the timely warning of the great and glorious Msgr. William Slocum, the good natured talks of the late Father James E. O'Brien, who died only 8 short time ago, and the friendly smile that always greeted us when

MORE ARRESTS IN
 BIRTH CONTROL

Brookline, Mass, Aug. 3-(UP)- Complaints were to be sought against two women physicians and four social workers today as police of a second city moved to halt ac- tivities of the Massachusetts Birth Control league.
 The six names were taken last night during a raid by a Brookline police squad on the Mothers Health offices, conducted by the Boston branch of the league. Alleged con- traceptives were seized.
 The women doctors, police said, were Dr. Ilia Galleani of Bostons Back Bay, allegediy in charge at the offices and Dr. Lucille Lord- -Eiein- stein of Dorchester. They with four other women whose names were withheld will be charged, according to police. with violation of a state law prohibiting sale, exhibition, use or loan of birth control devices and information.

to see a good game, too, not game
as was played Sunday, August Is,
and billed as an all-star game of
Pine County players when players
took part who didn't play in this
league this season. Anyway if our
officials had been awake and knew
what it's all about, this game would
not have been allowed until after
the season was over and legitimate
team selected.
Now if we win out in our game
next Sunday, and then again should
be victorious, what methods can we
use to raise funds to pay expenses
to the regional tournament. This
does not look like fair deal to Den
ham, and we are entering a protest
on this basis. Willow River was
scheduled to play at Sturgeon Lake
August IS. Why wasn't this game
played? Should Willow River have
won, we would now be tied with
Sturgeon Lake for first place. Was
Sturgeon Lake afraid, or is Willow
River playing sister act?
Well anyway, Denham is playing
Sturgeon Lake at Denham Sunday,
August %, and we are out to win,
so everybody turn out and see real
ball game played for the privilege to
claim the championship of the last
half in the Pine County League.

DENHAM MUST BE COUNTED
IN RUNNING
Editor ASkOV American:

Editor Askov American:
Will you print this letter in your
next weeks paper. In answer to
the claim made by Sturgeon Lake
for the championship of the last half
in the Pine County League. Perhaps
Denham is not in this League but at
least we paid membership and have
played our games as scheduled, eX-
cept a postponed game with Sturgeon
Lake. Sunday, August Is, we were
scheduled with Askov, we were there
only to find that no Askov team was
there We claimed a win in this
game by forfeit. So now we are
challenging Sturgeon Lake Sunday,
August %, at Denham. If we win
we are tied for first place-for the
last half-so the Pine County League
officials should either give us credit
for it or return our money if they
don't want us in this League.
Denham has only lost one game in
the last half, and were good enough
to make Sturgeon Lake play II in
nings to beat us in the last of the
first half with just a makeshift
lineup, so why should we put on
a sister act and give our chance up.
We are trying to encourage better
baseball and larger turnouts so the
ball players have something to play
for, and with. Anyway we are no
cutters and ready to fold up before
the season is over even though we
are having hard time to pay our
expenses and buy equipment. We
won't put on sister act and hand
the pennant to the leading team with
out fulfilling our schedule, or let the
officials rob us of it either. The rules
call for a forfeit deposit which is
intended to make all teams play their
scheduled games and not fold up and
quit when the going is tough.
The spirit of baseball is get out
and fight for leadership and in doing
so one creates interest of the fans and
good gate receipts. And the fans like

Justice Black

The United States Senate, Tues
day, confirmed President Roosevelt's
appointment of Hugo l.. Black as
associate justice of the United States
Supreme Court by vote of 63 to l6.
Much bitterness entered the debate
attendant on the fight for confirma-
ton. but the New Dealers won their
fight and President Roosevelt's first
appointment to the supreme bench
was left undiSturbed.
Justice Black is known as an ag-
gressive New Dealer and a hard
fighter for anything he believes to
be right His appointment has caused
the former president, Hoover, to is
sue a sarcastic statement to the effect
that the supreme court is "one-nlnth
packed" The former president con-
tinued his remarks by saying that 1.-The
nomination of Senator Black is a
sample of what we should expect
from packing of the supreme court" "
The former president did not give
any reasons for his antagoniSm to-
ward Senator Black which prompted
his remarks and of course lack of
these cause us to pay no more at
tention to his opinion than we did
back in his day" as president when
he prophesied that he could see pros
perity just around the corner.
Furthermore the former chief eX-
ecutive should be more sportsman
like in his attitude on the appoint
ment because in looking up the rec
ords it is seen that he had the oppor-
tunity to appoint three justices to
the supreme bench. He had the op-
portunity to pack the court"

EXPLAINS BASEBALL SITUATION

Editor ASkOV American:
To correct feeling that Sturgeon
Lake was responsible for protesting
the use of ineligible players by the
Rutledge baseball team the following
facts must be made public:
At meeting of the board of di-
rectOrs of the Pine County League
held before the start of the present
season., it was voted by the directors
that George Schmidt of st. Paul,
could not play with Rutledge, unless
he was employed at Rutledge and
resided there. He did neither, and
Pine City entered protest against
Rutledge. the day following its first
half defeat by Rutledge. This pro-
test was not acted upon by the arbi-
tration board at once because the
league officials wanted to wait and
find out whether it had any bearing
on the final standings. Pine City,
however, insisted upon it being acted
upon and threatened to take the mat
ter before the state board unless the
league officials called meeting,
which was called and at which meet
ing Schmidt was found ineligible
and Rutledge was forced to forfeit all
games in which Schmidt played.
Rutledge then refused to play
Sturgeon Lake in the regular sched-
uled game on August 1, until Stur-
geon Lake offered to play the game
on a winner-take-all basis, when the
loo r,,In ciyn
the home team the net proceeds re-
gardless of who wins. We beat Rut-
ledge and because of Rutledge's for
feits in the previous games we thought
that we were champions for both
halves of the playing season. How
for we had overlooked their mathe
matical chance of earning a tie for
the second half title.
The director from Denham did not
attend the meeting at which Rutledge
had to forfeit their games, and all
the directors present stated that the
forfeiture of Rutledge games gave
Sturgeon Lake the title for b tn halves.
Denham, however, has been playing
good baseball the second half and
has been beaten only by Moose Lake
and they have a postponed game to
play with us, and if they beat us
they will earn themselves tie for
the second half title. We are play
ing Denham at Denham next Sunday
and should Denham win, then they
would have to play us again for the
second half championship after which
a three-game series would be neces-
sary between us as winners of the
first half and them as winners of the
second half. In other words, they
would have to beat us four out of
five games to represent the Pine
County League at the Regional Tourn-
ament at Cloquet September 5.
