GAINS LEAD BY
DEFEATING ROSE

Klein's Tavern today had moved
into first place in the National
City League A. following its de-
feat of Rose Liquor by 3 to 2.
Ed Luckett's timely hitting was
largely responsible for the victory.
The game was played on the
South EllipSe diamond.
The game was a pitchers duel
between Boyd Liggett, the winning
hurler, and Charlie Booker. The
latter not only pitched steady
ball, but got two hits in as many
times at bat.
Getting three hits out of four
times up, Francis Green was the
hitting star for the losers.

Sir Maurice Hankey,
Most Powerful Man
in Britain.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

~ EoRGEs CLEMENCEAU
1 called Sir Maurice Hankey
Y the cleverest Englishman
since Disraeli and Gladstone.
In recent years, many close observers
of European politics have called him
the most powerful single individual
in England
The shadowy little whisp Of a man
has been kicked or waited upstairs, If
today's London dispatches are as re-
vealing as they appear to be. Sir
Maurice will no longer be secretary of
the cabinet at $4,000 year. He will
be director of the Suez Canal Co. at
$25,00o year. 1t is reported that
Prime Minister Chamberlain "is de-
termined to be master of his own
house." as one correspondent has it.
Fully identified. he is 1t. Col. Sir
Maurice Pascal Alers Hankey, G. C. B.,
K. c. B., c. B., and LID, sometimes
mistaken for an insurance solicitor,
with his shabby leather portfolio and
bowler hat. At the peace conference,
Clemenceau used to refer to Mr..
Hankey's bulging forehead as "our
filing case" and asked Sir Maurice to
extract this or that document, which
he always did-right out of his head.
He Is prodigy of memory, of discre-
ton, or quiet manipulation, never leav-
Ing track or fingerprint, no mat
ter what he's doing. Never inter-
viewed, never on record, an impalpable
presence in and around the cabinet, his
power, or, at any rate, his reputation
OF power, has grown steadily with the
years.
1t is said that Just a few gossipy
whispers by Sir Maurice would touch
on exrra editions all over the world;
that he Is the most heavily loaded
repository of state secrets in or out
of public life. Publishers scouts
have stalked him for years without
sprlnging so much as single whis-
per. He has shyly admitted that he
knows some interesting things but
has said that his memoirs will not be
published until 100 years after his
death
He is one of the few highly placed
British civil servants without an OK
ford or Cambridge background all
though he has an honorary degree
from Oxford. In 1895 he joined the
Royal Artillery, resigning in 1908
with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
He became an odd-job man on mat
ters of state requiring sagacity and
tact. He began to work his authentic
magic as secretary of the special war
cabinet, organized in 1916. He be-
came secretary of the cabinet in 1919
and has been clerk of the privy coun-
Gil since 1928.
