"I suppose you get all the dope from him or Frances, la that how you know so much about the Insido workings of the team?" "Can It, can't you?" Ueynolds snap- ped back. "I don't know any more about the team than you do." "What's the low-down on the Whip- per-Krances-Doyle situation?" Mulllna went on. "Heynolds has cut them both out," Craven broke In. "The others haven't got a chance. Reynolds ignored them and started writing his leads. Down on the diamond there was a commotion in front of each dugout. The two teams walked out onto the field and grouped themselves in col- umns of fours. The local Street Cleaners' Band blared out its first sour notes of Sousa's "Stars and Stripes." Pop, his arms swinging and his old bow legs churning the field, strode valiantly beside His Hon- or, the Mayor. The men werv out of step as they straggled toward the ma.st. If there is anything as woeful a.s tlic march out to center field for flag raising, it has never been unveil- ed for public gaze. Lefty Higgins and Al Whitper, the opposing pitchers, were the only ones left behind. They kept right on warming up in front of the grand- stand. It was too chilly to risk let- ting their arms cool off. The boys reached center field. The Mayor re- moved his derby and all hands stood at attention as the band played through to the discordant end. The brief ceremonies over, both teams straggled back and the crowd started yelling for action. "Ah, here wo go," Mullins said with a sigh of relief up in the press box. "His honor i.s going to chuck out the first ball." The Mayor sent a liigh one, which Di: e Stewart of the Philadelphia out- field grabbed. Finally every one was shootM off the field and there was that breathless moment before the start. INSTALMENT 2 Lefty Higgins was on the mound tossing them down to Horan. Over at short, Larry Doyle was digging them out of the dirt and firing the ball down to Schatz on first. The Blues were showing plenty ol pepper and seemed pretty confident. Dave Simons, the Philadelphia lead" off man, tossed away three bats be- fore he took his stance facing Lefty Higgins. He was a right-handed batter and one of the best lead-off men in the league. ''Rallone." The fir.st was low and outside. In quick succession came two more balls and then a high foul which bit the screen back of the plate. The crowd was yi'lling advice to Lefty. Simons watched a called strike go over. Iloran walked out toward Higgins and said something, but the next one was a ball and Simons trotted down to first. Up in the press box. Craven turned to Mullins. "It looks as if Lefty lost his control in Clearwater." "Shut up, you pall-bearer." Terry was busy pounding his machine. Joe Jacks was up next and he swung at a high one for a foul. The two next were balls and the crowd started to niurnuir. Was Higgins going to put Iheni in a hole right at the offset? .lacks lined a hard single between second and first and Simons pulled up on third. Over in the dug- out, Pop Clark spat toward the bat rack. Higgins stood out on found^Iooking the situation over, did rot seem to be the bast ruffled. Doyle moved in n little cliis( r to the grass. The next Philadelphia batter took a healthy cut at two strikes and fouled them off the stands. Lefty was putting the ball in there with plenty of stuff on it. The next ball was a liner right between third and short. Larry sprang high to his right and speared the ball, with practically the same motion he whip- ped it to Horan, who got Simons sliding into tlie plate by about two fe<^t. The crowd went wild. A lovely play and a sweet bit of thinking. (To be Continued) 135 bretders In Canada for a total of 19,010 birds, as compared with IIU breeders and 15,399 birds at the cor- responding date last year. Entries do not close until November 30, 193B. It Is apparent that the total entry for 1930-37 win be the largest since the work was started In 1919. All birds entered are trap-nested by the owners on their own premises and the egg records and egg weights are certified by the Dominion department of agriculture at the end of the year. The certified birds then become valu- able sources of hatching eggs, baby chicks and breeding stock. There Is a growing demand, at good prices, for this class of stock. Continued losses from the opera- tion of railways in the Netherlands has made government assistance necessary, and the two large lines may be amalgamated. Autumn There's a taug of autumn splendour. In the countryside today, For the sumach has turned to crimson And the meadow is sweet with hay, The brook we watched in the spring- time Still loiter.s through the copse, The linuet sings Its vibrant ioug, .\8 the farmer tends his crops. There's a tardy little swallow. That has no time to slug, For soon her little blrdllngs .Must take to vagrant wing. The asters in my garden Have bowed their heads In grief. The tall and stately hollyhocks. Know that their stay is briet. The maple has turned u myriad nues; Itinerant birds have flown; The popples gay have wilted And the bees have ceased to drone. There's a tang of autumn madness That permeates the air; And it mingles joy with sadness For 'tis summer's dying flare. E. Anne Pomeroy, Plage Laval, tjue.

Anial.^anwted Civil Servants Ask Government To Study Needs. CALGARY. â€" Increased trade be- tween Canada and the United States has placed a heavy burden on the work of customs office staffs, it was noted in a resolution adopted at the annual convention of the Amalgam- ated Civil Servants of Canada here recently. The resolution requested the De- partment of National Revenue to look into the question of adequacy of customs staffs and to secure the opinion of collectors respecting the sufficiency of their staffs. Another resolution urged that all temporary employes in the civil ser vice be placed on the permanent staff. Other resolutions adopted urged a minimum wage of 1100 a montfl for all full-time men civil servinjs, additional allowaiico for civil set- vants in the Prairie Provinces, due to higher cost of living; an eight- hour day vs-ith a 44-hour week for all civil servants.

Chaplain Says 20 p.c. of Re-' leased Prisoners Land Behind Bars Again CHICAGO, â€" A penitentiary chap- lain told the American Prison Asso- ciation congress recently mat tiie moderu prison taught convicts How to execute the ''perfect crime.'' POLICE BAFFLED Education within the prison walla producedmen so skilled in crime they . baffled the police, declared Father Eli- ' gius Weir, Franciscan chaplain of Jo- liet, in an address prepared for dellV' cry. These "honor graduates" of the pe- nal system were responsible he said, for ''the enormous amount of crimes that have never been solved." Voicin{ the spiritual advisor's view- point for the first time on a prison congress program since the congres- ses began CG years ago, the priest says "We are assured by statisticians that from 15 to 20 per cent of those released from prisons are recidivists and that from SO to S5 4>er cent are never heard of again. From this the conclusion Is drawn that our niettiods are successful. BECOIVIE MORE CAUTIOUS "Befcre we draw this conclusion we sjiculd bear in mind that the maa who has paid his price for his crime behind the prison bars will be more cautious in the future not to fall into the bands of the law. ''I am of the opiuicn that the enor- mous number of unsolved crimes could be traced to the prison-educated." Emphasizing that ho was •certainty not iu favor'' of abolishing existing educational methods. Father Weir ad- vocated instead that these metnocs be "'supplemented by moral training." The chaplain's address opened the fifth day of the six-day congress, that wound up Its business sessions last night by voting to hire a full time, crime. paidstafi to push the fight against crime. AboMtion of the county jail was also named as one objective, with extens- ion of the parole and probation sys- tem and solution of the prison labor problem as others.
