 Steamer promptly was sentenced to a year in the penitentiary and fined $500 with the proviso that he must serve an extra day for each dollar of the fine that he fails to pay. Rosen will be sentenced on May 16,
 The men went on trial in Kings county court Monday under an in dictment which charged that they conspired with an unidentified third person known only as Danny" to cheat and defraud persons bet ting on the game which never was played.

BY AL VERMEER NEA Staff Cor-eSpOndent

New York, May : A dreary rain beat on the stadium turf and Joe Mccarthy told the Yankees they might as well dress and go home-all except Paul Waner. He wanted to talk to Paul alone, said the manager, and it was then that the little man with the gold-rim- med glasses, long the terror of Ma tional League pitchers, was told his services were no longer needed.
 Waner packed his belongings, walked out into the dri2zle and told newsmen he hoped to hook on with the Indians or White Sox. There was ro air of optimism about him, however, for Paul Glee Waner, who weighed no more than l53 pounds and in his heyday hit with the force of 200-pounder, seemed to realize his illustrious career had finally come to an end.
 Waner leaves inGelible marks.
 Through 20 years in the majors he compiled tic staggering batting average of .333.
 He slammed out 3152 hits, join ing the select group of Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker, Nap Lajoie, Hans Wagner and Eddie Collins. Those immortals are all in baseball's Hall of Fame. A campaign has already been started to put Waner in there with them.
 Like many great performers, Wa ner caused no stir of excitement when he broke into baseball. Born and reared in Oklahoma, he came to the San Francisco camp for a tryout-a lefthand pitcher of 140 pounds, 5 feet 8 inches. Not much of pitcher, either, hut it was easy to see he could handle a bat.
 So Waner went to the outfield and what he lacked in strength he made up with keen eyes and perfect wrist action. In his third year with San Francisco he gave an amazing display of consistency. batting at a 400 clip from the first day of the season to the last.
 Charley Graham, the old catcher who is president of the San Fran cisco club, always maintained this was the greatest one-year perform ance he ever saw, recalling that even when Waner hit foul ball 1t was line drive.
 Later we had Joe DiMaggio, a great and powerful hitter" asserts Graham, but when you compare the physical assets of the two men, Waner was the better
 In 1926, Waner went to Pitts burgh, brought along his kid broth- CT, Lloyd, whom he also had lowed to San Francisco. Lloyd didn't look like ball player out there but Big Poison insisted Little Poison would develop. Big Poison was right. Until 1940 they stood to- gether in the Pirate oUtfield the most formidable Outfield brother act baseball has ever known.
 For 12 consecutive years Paul batted more than 300, grabbed the National League title on three oc- casions, lea the Pirates into a World Series in 1927, made the All Star Game four times. set a mod ern record with 200 hits in eight different seasons.
 Paul finally grew to 153 pounds, Lloyd to 150. It was their eyes,

speed and super-timing that made them stickout hitters.
 Lloyd finished with the Braves, Reds and Dodgers. Paul was bumped from the Dodgers to the Braves, back to the Dodgers and then to the Yankees.
 This spring, at 42, he was used merely as a pinch-hitter against right-hand hurIers, presented an odd sight in the clubAouse-a small deaconish appearing man with glasses walking among the tradi- tionany large athietes of Joe Mo Cartny'S club.
 But the name, Paul Glee Waner, will forever stand ill the book o1 tremendous baseball feats.

 Crosby was due in Ansonia this afternoon; after a 4-3 win over Gil bert miscues, as Lefty Lodge held Crosby to five hits; while Crosby's Duphiney got in trouble and had to be relieved by Russ Hansen who turned in net relief chore, in the last two innings. Gilbert got g hits of Duphiney; but has six errors which cost the ball game. Crosbys Pica. was the heavy hitter with single and three-baser. Score:

Braves, Red Sox Al 'CeiIrr' Door
By JOSEPH NOLAN

NNiltCI AN9N tNtttiA Nhi
 Boston, May 10 UP The Braves and Red SoX have had con- siderable difficulty finding the han ale on the ball lately and today both were just one rung from the bottom Of the major league lat ders.
 Fumbling away their chances against the Pittsburgh Pirates yes terday the Braves made three costly errors that added up 10 a 9-5 defeat. The Red Soy, on their first western invasion of the campaign, failed to support fiye-hit pitching by rookie Jim Wilson and bowed 2-l 70 the Cleveland Indians
 The Braves started Jim Tobin on the hill but it soon became appar- ent that the veteran knucklor had little more on the ball than perspir. ation.

to require the prompt publication
of all reports of the international
Petroleum commission in the Con-

dent on August "a, 1914, for the rea-
sons stated as follows, to-wit:
(a) The true and all-inclusive

it is, therefore, subject to too many

the world, allocate and prorate mar
kets, fix fair" prices, and deter

of such authority would be almost
unanimously resented and vigorous
ly opposed by the peoples of both

war from accommodating supplies of
petroleum for war-making pur-
poses. We favor such cooperation
and believe that 1t will be necessary
to regulate international trade in
many products other than petro-
lenm as defined in said agreement,
