"There i8 a government in power which has poly conformed to its ti- tle insofar as it is laboring in very deep water," he sald. A soclalist government was going to give us the pure milk of socialism, but so far the cow has not provided much bever- age. In foreign affairs the .only .thing the government has done has been to sit in friendly conference with rep- ' resentatives of the most cruel and bloody government that Europe has known since the French revolution.

PITCHERS EFFECTIVE. National Twirlers Better Than in 1928, Is Claim, New York, May 1.--Proof that major league twirlers, particularly in the National League, are showing greater effectiveness this season than In several seasons, was seen today by John A. Heydler, president of the| senior circuit in the results of he first stages of the 1924 campaign. These show, he pointed out, that ending his life, an unidentified man, aged about thirty-three years, was found dead in a Simcoe street room- ing house here today. The stranger adopted a novel plan of accomplish. | ing his purpose. He was found seat. ed on the bed. He had placed a kit bag over his head, tied it about his neck, adjusted one end of a newly- purchased tube to a gas Jet, cut a slit in the bag and inserted the other end. Then he sat down, inhaled the fumes and was asphyxiated. rding to the keeper of the rooming house he went to the house Yesterday afternoon, engaged a room and stated that he wanted to be left alone. He was seen enterfng hig room last night and the discovery Of his death this morning was made through the detection of escaping gas. ------------------ Rev. E. 8S.

The Chippawa shows $174,000 profit in six months, says Sir Adam : k. d | of the 46 games played in the Na- tional League up to and including yesterdsy, 22 were decided by one run margins. The indication of im- proved pitching is further shown in the fact that eight: of these games were decided by 3-2 scores and five by 2-1 margins, in addition to which four shut outs have been recorded. Further evidence of effectiveness in the box is claimed by Mr. Heydler in the home run records, which at the end of yesterday's play showed the National League's total of 41 to be nine less than at the same junc- ture of the 1923 campaign. Due to the fact that the American League home run sluggers are ahead of their 1923 figure, however, the major league total of 77 was three more than on the same date a year ago. The better box work is generally attributed to the new 'rupng under which the injection of new balls in- to the game on slight pretexts is curbed. ! At 8t.

South York by this plan ig to dis- appear, and the allotment of nine | seats to the' City of Toronto makes | the unit of representation about 58,000, or a unit-co eénsurate with that of the City of Montreal. Another important step in. the work of, redistribution was made at the meeting of the general commit- tee held yesterday, when it was decided not to fix any unit of repre- sentation for either the urban or the rural ridings, but to lefive the ques- tion of the unit to the subcommittee of each division. This will facilitate matters con- sidergbly, as it would have been very difficult for the large committee to come to a decision with any degree of unanimity. In dealing with the readjustment of representation in rural Ontario, it is understood that provision will have. to be made for the disappear- afice of gix ridings now far below the unit of representation. These will probably include Grenville, East Petreboro, North Ontario, Dufferin, Edst Elgin and South Perth. As far as possible, it is the inten- tion of the committee, it is under- styod, to preserve the county boun- daries, which would mean that where the county is considerably below the unit of representation, that county would be united with one of its con- tiguous counties or ridings. . fr ee Ss EASTERN O.B.AA. To Meet in Carleton Place on Sat- urday. Ottawa, May 1.--A special general meeting of the Eastern Ontario branch of the 0.B.A.A., has been call- ed for Saturday, May 3rd, in Carle- ton Place. This gathering is expect- ed to complete the organization of the branch for the coming 'season and decide on important matters re- Jating to the future welfare of the game in the Ottawa Valley. Organization of the Upper Ottawa Valley has taken up the attention of the branch officials and arrange- ments are being made to bring Ren- frew, Arnprior and Pembroke into line this year. Pembroke was afrili- ated last year, and feelers have been sent out to Renfrew and Arnprior to Join up. If possible a Renfrew Coun- ty League will be formed to include a team from each town and - this should make for added interest in the Valley. Last season Pirates, winners of the Pembroke town league, were unable to compete in the branch playoffs, but this will be obviated {if a Renfrew county loop is organized, and the winner of the Inter-town leagbe could come down for a erack at the Lanark, Eastern and Ottawa champions. Several prominent baseball men have been approached in' the Valley regarding the forma- tion of this league and they are taking the matter up' with the offi- cials in the various towns, Lanark County and Eastern On- tario leagues are organt this week and expect to have a b year. A five team loop is promised in Lanark County, while down in the Eastern Ontario section along the St. Lawrence, President E. A.
