AND JUVENILE SERIES YANKEES CONTINUE HITTING STREAK BUT LOSE BY 10 TO © Atlanta, April 2.--The Yankees continued their lusty hitting this afternoon--all of them except Babe Ruth, that is--but the Atlanta Crackers beat them to it. The Hugmen did enough heavy cannon- ading to carry off an ordinary game, but Stanley Coveleskie and Henry Johnson were all kinds of luscious feeding for the Georgians who spilled 18 hits all over the lot and won by a count of 10 to 9. Added to poor pitching, inept hitting in the pinches and a general "don't care" attitude, the Yanks tossed away a chance for victory in the ninth when Dickey opened with a single and Mike Gazella, who ran for him, trotted to third There was no one out, but a moment later there were two. Combs hit to short, Ga- zella scored and Durst was caught b 'ween second and third. He turn- ed in his tracks and ran back into that bag. Jones, the Cracker short- stop, nipped Durst with a throw to third and then Combs was nailed at second, after he had stopped be- cause Durst had turned back. A fine exhibition for a "team of champs and the Crackers' follow- ers gave the Yanks a Royal hoot. TO DECIDE N.H.L.

Eddie Roush is beginning to really find himself. won their way to This tempera- mental outfielder now with the New York Giants, has been showing his best form in ycars and is expected to have one of his best seasons with the Giants. Roush plied his trade for years with the Cincinnati Reds, and although he was one of the great outfielders, in the last two or three years has been plainiy dissatisfied at Cincinnati, and no player shows his best with a club that he does not like. He was a perennial holdout, and his demands were generally met. Victor Sorrell, one of the best looking prospects to ever appear in a Toronto uniform, has also been making his advance re rts read right, and yesterday only allowed three hits in six innings in an exhibition game in the regalia of the Detroit Tigers. son is far advanced. He will probably be a regular before the sea- Red Wingo should get his big chance this year to make the most of the ability he undoubtedly has, and showed with To- ronto. Detroit's propensity for acquiring star outfielders has kept Wingo more or less in subjection although the fact that Detroit keeps him on the roster speaks for itself. Fothergill, the ex-Rochester player, who last year was just a few niches from the top of the batting list in the American League, reported to the Tigers many pounds overweight, and as usual had the riot act read to him, but the superfluity of flesh docs not scem to matter to this hard-hitting outfielder. made the most sensational catch of the game. Yesterday he Merwin Jacobson is still a holdout with the Toronto Club although he is still in Albany and staying at the same hotel as the Leafs. Jacobson knows that the To- ronto club are hard up for outfielders this year, and is asking for a bonus. He evidently expects one of his good years, and when Jake is good there are not many better, as witness his years at Baltimore. He will probably get his bonus although the reports from the South do not read that way as yet, 1i the Montreal Maroons or the Montreal Canadiens tie tonight, or {he Boston Bruins and New York Rangers do likewise, as was the case with the two group final sct-tos on Saturday night, then the game will be played overtime, if possible until a goal is scored.

Moffats Electric flanges for sale by the ELECTRIC Simoeoe Suget North, SICK AND WEARY WRITER DECLARES WORLD LOOKS BLUE London, April 2.--George Moore, the novelist, who has just recovered from a long illness, gave a voice to- day to some unusual opinions about modern literature and art. It was on the occasion of the successful production yesterday, by the Pri- vate Play Society, of his latest play- let. "The Life of an Immortal," which has Shakespeare for its theme. "It seems strange to me," sald the novelist, "that after forty years of hard work, boycotting and spurning, 1 should, through one short play, suddenly become one of the idols of the English public. Congratulations have poured upon me, but I am only a very weak old man, barely ahle to stand. "I came to England 40 years ago like a troubador to revolution- ize English literature. I absolute- ly refuse to speak about my living contemporaries, hecause there Is not one worth talking about." Referring to the late Thomas Hardy, he said: "Hardy could not write two lines of correct English together. He had no insight into human nature." Then about Joseph Conrad: "Conrad's works will be dead ih a year. Any one could write the sort of stuff he wrote - about barges floating around in green or blue vases." Of music and art generally, he said: "Just mere spitting at the stars, and when women try to spit too, the thing is worse than ridicu- lous, for they cannot compete with men." WATSON SENTENCED TO 15-YEAR TERM Hamilton, April 2.--Judge Evans today sentenced Fred Watson of Toronto to 15 years and John Gor- don of this city to 10 years' im- prisonment in Portsmouth Peniten- tiary. They were found guilty on March 9 by a jury of participating in an armed robbery at a branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, King Street and Sanford Avenue, on Dec. 27 Jast, when cash amounting to $23,000 was stolen and recovered. Faces Toronto Charge Reginald Johnson, also of Toron- to, who was captured as he fled with the money from the bank, turned King's evidence after he was sentenced to seven years' imprison- ment.

By that is meant that he has yet to sign a con- tract. Both Manager O'Hara and his assistant-in-chief, Fred Burchell, have had "Jake" in every corner of the hotel at some time or oth- er, and the conferences have not all been of the most friendly kind. Avparently the sprightl veteran entertains the belief that the Leafs cannot do without him, and that consequently he has a hammerlock on the situation. But if he feels that way about it he is only fool- ing himself. The Jacobson of Baltimore days would be an acquisition to any club, no matter how powerful, but the same athlete of no later than last Summer who went through the motions with the Toronto elub would have some difficulty holding a berth with a lowly class B. out- fit, / Jake Willing To Gamble that Jacobson is prepared to gamble; he is willing to come into the fold on a bonus basis. He makes no secret of the fact that he thinks that he will have a good sea- son, and if the Toronto club will pay him extra remundration pro- viding he finishes with an aver- age well over 3000 he will accept the terms offered. At any rate the player and the Leafs' executive were as far apart as the north and south poles to- night, and it was significant that Jacobson voiced a request for his expenses from Baltimore here, Needless to ejaculate he didn't get it. At last reports Boss O'Hara was making ready for another huddle with the man who not so many sea- sons ago was considered the hest outfielder in the International, and who stil] 1 it in him to stand the league on its head. In his workouts with the Leafs Jacchson has shown that he possesses much of his pristine ability and also that he would make a grand running- mate for Rabbitt and Sheedy, who are also exceptionally speedy per- formers, At MEXICAN POLICE SPIES ATTEND MASS, MAKE 63 ARRESTS Mexico City, April 2.--Three priests and sixty other persons were seized by the police last night the Mexico City suburb of Coyoa- can, accused of violating the Gov- ernment regulations regarding the exericse of their Catholic religion. All were taken to general Police Headqaurters in the Capital. The police further charge that the lead- ers had heen engaged in a meeting of a seditions eharacter. During the entire morning Po- lice Headquarters were beseiged by friends and relatives of those held who are prominent, A story published this afternoon says secret police agents were in- strueted a month ago to investigate supposed seditious activities among certain Catholics in Coycoacan, working under the auspices of the League for the Defence of Religious Liberty, and that the climax came yesterday when some thirty agents, who had ingratiated themselves with those arrested, attended the meeting-place in Coycoacan, saw Mass celebrated, and listened to a sermon delivered by one of the priests, in which all were urged to contribute financially to support Catholic propaganda and to in- crease the ranks of those known to he enemies of the Government, A POOR BUTTERFLY While shovelling snow from along side their greenhouse on Saturday last, Charlie Mitchell uncovered a butterfly which had taken shelter be- tween the snow bank and the green- house wall. The butterfly was still alive and after being placed inside the greenhouse wass oon able to fly about in lively fashion. Just whether the finding of this insect has any sig- nificance as to the brand of weather we are to have in the immediate fu- ture we are unable to say, but it does scem that the poor butterfly got all balled up in its date for visiting this clime. Tonight! "The Four --Youth --Action --Love Don't Miss This One COMEDY "There's a Will" FOX NEWS NEW MARTIN LARRY GAINS WINS . FROM "BIG" ORLEANS Buffalo, N.Y., April 2.--Larry Gains, of Toronto, colored heavy- weight champion of Canada, de- cisively defeated "Big Bog" Peter- son, of Minneapolis and New Or- leans, in a rugged ten-round bout for the Queensbury Club here to- night, Peterson, long, lanky and powerfully built, towered over Gains in height and had a much longer reach, but after the second round, when Larry found a way to break through his defence, he took a good smashing about the body. Gains outsmarted him in the close work, and matched a wicked and cutting left hook against Peters, 1's powerful round-arm swing, beut- ing him at both angles. Gains raised a great welt be- neath Peterson's heart and over ihe liver with right-hand smashes which he continually poured into the Swede's midriff. He varied this with left hooks to the head, sev- eral of which landed to the chin. Pete's great size, however, and his bulky frame absorbed the shocks, and he rode through without a knockdown or a perceptible stag- ger. He bled from the mouth in the fifth and his nose streaked a little crimson in the seventh, Peterson's one big round was the eighth, in which he landed a ter- rific left to the body and a smash to the ear with the right, that stag- gered Gains. Larry was right back, however, with a shower of left hooks that took Pete's advantage from him. Peterson offended many times bp holding. Gains weighed 190%, Peterson 19414, AURA LEE LADIES ARE CHAMPIONS Port Arthur, April 2.--The sup- erior combination play and shoot- ing of the Aura Lee ladies' hockey team of Toronto won for them the first all-Canadian girls' title here this evening, when they won the second game with the South End girls, champions of Western Can- ada, by 5 goals to 0. The first game ended 3 to 0 for the Toronto girls, so that they won the round by eight straight goals, The Ports beat their custodian, Miss Wesley, only once in the ser- fes, and that time Referee Gordon Wilson ruled that there was a player in advance of the play -and refused to allow it. The Port Ar- thur girls, however, .made a fine showing with their speedy skating and puck-carrying. It was in lack of ability to shoot like the Aura Lees that cost them the decision.

A VERY SHY MAN Eugene O'Neill the playwrihgt, is one of the shyest of men, and he is especially frightened by those men with forbidding hauteur who preside behind the window of a theatre box office. On the opening night of his play "The Strange Interlude," O'Neill had neglected to ask the press agent for tickets for himself. He went to the box office and timidly asked for a pair of seats, tendering a $20 bill, The ticket seller, not recognizing him, told him that the house was sold out, and added that it would be for several days to come, O'Neill, still too shy to make known his iden- tity, slunk away 'down the street. GIANTS SMOTHER SENATORS 12TO 1° Birmingham, Ala. April 2.--For the first time this year the Giants opened up at full speed this after noon and slaughtered the Washing ton Senators to the tune of 12 to 1 in the third game of their Spring series. McGraw's clan slammed the offerings of Horace Lisenbee and young Vanalstyne for 17 hits, in- cluding three home rums, while Eddie Roush gave a brilliant ex- hibition of fielding. Not only was the hitting terrifie and the fielding brilliant, but Larry Benton went the full route and it was not until the eighth inning that the Senators succeeded fin reaching the plate. At that time the Giants had a commanding lead and Benton decided to ease up on his arm, as it was the first time this year he had gone over five innings. He allowed 10 hits and whenever he was in trouble in the early part of the game, some Giant player would end the inning with a dazzling play. Roush never looked better than he does this Spring, He made a great catch of George Sisler's long drive in the second inning and in the sixth he raced into deep centre field and speared Goslin's long drive out of the air with gloved hand. Added to this he chased Gos- lin's long two-bagger in the third inning, made a fast throw to Jacke son, who threw to the plate to get Hayes, New Spring Suits and extra $25 Pants, made to measure, . 1.Collis &2 Sons 50-64 King St, W.
