rRY HUGO HOOPLA)

Realizing their fondest ambition of the basketball season and, by the same token, winning a state championship to add to their Nau- gatuck Valley laurels gained a month ago, the St. Joseph Holy Name array proved themselves 34 points better than Joe's Tiremen in the finals of the North End "" statewide meet, by the lop-sided count of 62 to 28. The Lithuanian Saints won going away, and best of all backed up their claim that they would "shellac" the team that bested the West Side Speedboys among it's high scorers.
 So good was the Holy Name de- fense that Captain Johnny Stollar of the West Side Speedboys, or Kalosky and Bradley, his teammates got more than three hoops against Augustauskas and Vaitukaitis rung the bell for 31 points between them. The winners led all the way, 11-8, 24-13 atthe half, 38-22 going into the final period.

NERCO FIGHTERS
 DOMINATE A.A.U. BOXING TOURNEY
Four U. s. Titles GO to COl= Ored Boys at Boston;
 O'Malley StandOut
BY ROBERT WEBB

\ Boston, April 7.-(UP)-Maybe it's that Joe Louis influence but there's no getting around the fact that colored fighters dominated the national amateur boxing champion ships which concluded at Boston Garden last night.
 Negroes won the flyweight, mid- dleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight titles and Jackie Sim mons of Kansas City, a fifth colored boy lost a questionable decision to Bill Eddy, Detroit southpaW, in the featherWeight final.
 Particularly in the heavier classes did negroes dominate. Both the middleWeight and light heavyweight finalists were colored. Several other promising negro youngsters were eliminated by picture finishes in the semi-finals.
 O'Malley Best
 Perhaps the most promising box CT produced by the three-day tour nament was Jim O'Malley of Chi cago, the 147-pound champion. He showed ability to punch hard with both hands as well as a general all- around ring finesse unmatched by any other fighter in the 31st an- nual championship.
 Daniel Merritt, heavyweight champion from Cleveland, qualities as the most dangerous puncher. He won three fights by knockouts including the final when he beat Carroll Garretson of Tulsa so bad ly that the referee stopped the action in the second round. Seven of the ten Hawaiian IslanC boxers were eliminated the first day, but the team from the mid Pacific made an excellent showing though only John Santiago achieved the final.
 Down Five Times
 Santiago showed more gameness than any fighter in the tourna- ment when he got up off the can. vas five times in the 147-pounc final before the referee stopped tht bout and awarded the decision tC OMalley.
 The south and far west failed tt win championship as boxers iron the east and midwest carried of fo rucroWns each. Cleveland wa! the only city to win two champion ships. Others went to Philadelphia New York, Newark, Flint, (Mich.. Lawrence (Mass), and Chicago.
 Bill Speary won his second sue. cessive national title when he bea a teammate, John Aiello, in tn, 1l8-pound final. Speary took thu 112-pCund title in 1887. Bill Edd, of Detroit, who was knocked ou in the opening round of his frs bout at the 1897 championships came back to take the 126-pount title this year.
 Lightweight Ticky Ford of Law renee put New England back on thu boxing map when he became tn, first New Englander to win Ma tional title since Nat Bor won tn, lightweight crown in 1883.
 Other champions, all negroes were Bobby Carroll, tricky Newark N. J., stylist, 112 pounds; Bradle! Lewis, New York city, 160 pounds and Willie Duldane of Cleveland ITS pounds.
 The tournament drew total O almost 500 more than { year ago. The 1889 championship! in all probability will be staged at Boston.

 Daytona Beach, Fla, April r. (UP)-Mr. Rogers Hornsby was very involved in a plate of spaghetti when l arrived, and the sight of this fine Italian dish prompted me to ask him his opinion on the holdout bat tie between Joseph DiMaggio and the New York Yankees.
 I got quick and decisive reply. One always does with Hornsby. The man may have his faults, but no one ever accused him of beating around the conversational bush.
 "DiMaggio should come in on that $25, 1000 contract like it was a low liner" Rogers answered. T mean come in on it fast and sign be- fore he finds himself spending the summer in San Francisco. Now, I'm firm believer in ball player getting as much as possible, but there's always limit. I'm afraid Joe has got it into his head that he is another Babe Ruth. Well, he isn't, and he never will be. There won't be another piece of baseball goods like the Babe during our life time. Or DiMaggio's either. He's not even a Gehrig for my dough Or a Charley Gehringer."
 The Rajah went to his right fol bit of spaghetti, handled it deftly and continued:
 This is DiMaggio's third season in the majors and he sneers al twenty five grand. That's serious sneering. I don't want to boast but I was a pretty fair country bal player in my day and do you know what I got-and was glad to get for my second season in the majors The fine sum of $2,000. And hi .313. To my way of thinking, nc player is major league star unti he has proved it over stretch o. four or five years. DiMaggio ough to stop and consider how lucky ht was that he signed with the Yan. kees. What do you think he would be making if he had signed witt the Browns or the Athletics ol Washington? A man who kick' about he Yankees pay is plum un' grateful. DiMaggio ought tC si down and ponder on what Joe Med. wick is getting this year. Tha Medwick is pretty handy man t( have on a ball team, too"
 I asked Hornsby If he had reao any of the articles concerning tht relative merits of the American ane National leagues.
 Yeah, I've read most of them You know, read other things be- sides the daily racing forms, all re- ports to the contrary. And if yor want my opinion, it is that the two leagues are about equal in strength The American has more long dis tance hitters, and a livelier ball. Or the other hand, the National has many more outstanding pitchers The reason that the American has been more successful in world series is that the American has habit oi developing one great club that not only crushes the other teams in the league, but the National winner as well. The boys in the National al- ways put on l.otter race and the winner is under tremendous pres- sure right down to the wire. think that hurts the National leagues series chances, physically and mentally"
 Hornsby, you might like 10 know thinks the Yankees will dominate the American this year, DiMaggio or no DiMaggio, and that the Cubs will come home in the National. (Copyright. 1888, by United Press)

Limited Press Sta1f COrreSponuchII
 Toronto, Ont, April 7.-(UP)- The Toronto Maple Leafs were 8-5 favorites to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks tonight and 7-5 to take three of the four remaining games and win the Stanley cup.
 The odds-makers apparently be- lieved that the Hawks were play ing far over their heads when they took the opener 3-1.
 The Hawks will be without the services of Goalie Mike Karakas and forward Mush March. Both play CTS left for Chicago last night for treatment that Manager Bill Stew art hopes will put them in shape for Sunday nights third game in Chicago. Karakas suffered brok- en toe in the Hawks last semi final victory Sunday, and March is nursing a charlie horse" and other bruises after Tuesday nights game.
 Moore on Hand
 In Karakas' place will be Allie Moore, regular goalie of the Pitts burgh hornets III the 1nternatlOnal American league. It was Moore who stopped Toronto's powerful scoring machine in the opener.
 The Leafs, smarting under the initial setback at the hands of the leagues prize underdog team, vowed to take the next three. It must be admitted that they showed nothing of the sparkling form that enabled them to eliminate the leagues American Division cham pion Boston Bruins in three straight Coach Dick Irwin blamed their poor showing to the long layoff between their last game with Boston, Mach % and Tuesday nights game. With that skirmish under their belts Irwin expects them to go in high gear tonight

w. H. McConkey, a commission mer-
chant, of 1905 Water street S.W.

cousin and works in his Office, ar
rived at the place of business about
8 o'clock, she found that, contrary
to his custom, Mr. McConkey was
not downstairs. Thinking he might
be i'll, she went to his quarters above
the store and Immediately noticed a
strong odor of gas
When she tried to open the door
she found it was locked and the keys
still in the door, Using a SCI of her
own keys she shook the lock until the
inside key fell out, then opened the
door to find Mr.. McConkey, semi
conscious. on the bed. Gas was pour
ing from small heater in the room.
Unable to arouse her employer, Mrs.
Williams ran for help. An Emergency
Hospital ambulance. physician was
able to revive him, and he was re-
moved to the hospital to recover from
the effects of the gas.
Mr.. McConkey explained that he
had arisen early today. placed a
kettle of water on the heater to warm
and then had gone back to bed. He
was unable to smell the gas when
the heater light went out, he said,
because his nose had been packed fol-
lowing recent sinus operation.

When his son was old enough to
take university life, the wise father
explained to John that he knew
much that other boys did not know
because of his fathers kindness in
taking so much time to teach him.
There was never any feeling on
Johns part that he had done any
thing unusual.
When he first went away from
home, he felt that many adults con-
sidered him somewhat irnpudent.
He states that he did not under
stand this at the time but later he
saw it was because of his outspoken
comments on mature topics.
AS a man, Mill took an active
part in affairs of government, be-
coming a member of parliament.
But this type of work did not appeal
to him. He preferred economics
and sociology. AS long as he lived,
Mill wrote and fought for the cause
of freedom. In youth he ardently
admired Lafayette, then an old
man.
MilFs Quotations.
These quotations are from Mills
history of his life. Of school, he
wrote, "a pupil from whom nothing
is ever demanded which he can not
do, never does all he can"
Of family life, "But the children
of energetic parents frequently
grow up energetic, because they
lean on their parents"
On freedom of thought, "The for
bearance which flows from con-
scientious sense of the Importance
to mankind of the equal freedom
of all opinions, is the only liberation
which is commendable.'
Mill reveals that he held his ia
Their in high esteem but had
little affectionate love for him. Of
his method of teaching Mill wrote,
IA defect running through his
modes of instruction was that of
trusting too much to the Ineligible
ness of the abstract, when not en-
bodied in the concrete"
Mill wrote prodigiously, his works
being published in the best period
icals Of England, including the Edin-
burgh Review, Fraser's, the Exam
liner, Westminster Review, and the
Jurist. His books cover a variety
of subjects, including liberty, the
cause of freedom for women, utility
of religion, and government.
His life was from 1906 to 1873,
and he dominated the thought of
England during the third quarter of
the Nineteenth century.

was. reading English and Greek,
When John was eight years old he
was required to teach his lesson of
the morning to his younger brothers
and sisters in the afternoon. If they
did not know their lessons properly
when the father heard them in the
evening John was held to blame.
In this manner John absorbed his
knowledge to a degree of mastery.
On long walks with his son, the
father talked to John of learned
matters, asking the boys opinion at
various points. At all times the ma
terial was oyer the head of the
child, causing him to stretch men
tally to reach it.
Definite Study Plan.
The course of study was laid out
for a period of years. One subject
at a time was thoroughly covered.
For example, the literature of the
world was covered in succession,
that of England coming first, with
that of Greece, Rome, France and
other nations coming in order.
