L,; Early in Mare « blanket order recruited his crew at Havana short- w Years for a quick trip erre, Miquelon, with 8,000 cases of grain alcohol and a few] bales of Cuban tobacco, The crew} were informed, when the high seas | were reached, they could not corre-| spond with any one ashore and could not Jeave the vessel until an chor was dropped in Havana again. That was the first “double cross,” he said. About February 19 the Yankton sighted Ambrose lightship when aj man, described as a representative of New York bootlegging interests whose entry into the story was ieft obscure—ordered Captain Bid- Jon to proceed to Providence, R. I. That port was not touched, how- ever, Captain Bidlon said, but in the vicinity of Block Island, two motor launches appeared alongside und lightered away two thousand cases of alcohol and two. thousand pounds of tobacco. Another Double Cross n Bidlon learned afterwards ; s represented as saying, that the consignee ashore reported never | receiving the transhipment, so the navigator marked another “douole X” in his log. For five weeks the Yankton re- mained hove-to, then went to Mon- tauk Point under instructions and unloaded 3,500 cases of alcohol to the Cavalier, a British schooner. That was where Corns disappeared and where the next “double X” was | entered in the log. Still holding part of their origin- al cargo, but shy of sea biscuit and steam coal, the crew broke up most of the wooden furnishings of the ship and headed for Rum Row. On their arrival, said the captain, two tugs came alongside and forty arm- | ed men swinging guns, briskly | boarded the Yankton and took the remainder of its cargo, Captain | Bidlon said one of the boarding | party made some unintelligible re- | ference totacting under orders of a New York bootlegging syndicate. ! He put down another “double X”. | With the bunkers holding nothing | but coal dust and the galley scrap-: ed of potato peclings the crew de- + cided to helm around for New York ' bay, and a square meal.

This is an. in- $28,000,000 over the expenditures for 1922, which Congress believed would allow for normal postal growth. A check made on postal business for the nine months ending March 13, however, indicates an increase in the volume of business of 13.12 pér cent, or about double the average annual increase for the past 40 years, IN HOT WATER Wherefore, Secretary New is hav- ing his troubles.

Still, postal deficits will be noth- ing new--no reflection on New. In fact, they're the regular, thihg.

A large number of these are scattered over the state, and the board is anxious to have all of them returned. A general reorganization of game warden staff is planned. The board will seek the co-oper- ation of sportsmen in their program for law enforcement. FISHING IN STATE LAKES OPENS MAY 16 Jamestown, N.

That is the first thought when some highly touted minor leaguer is sold to the majors. When Jimmy O'Connell was sold to the Giants for $75,000 and Willie Kamm caused the White Sox to part with $100,000, the ability of these two phenoms to hit major . league pitching was the big idea, the one doubtful question. During the spring training trip 1 didn’t get a very good chance“to look cither of the tt highly touted youngsters over, bat of the two, Mark Russian Children Saved by A.R.A.

Owens had the opportunity of |see:ng Kamm in action in about, 16 some other exhibition contests. ‘What do you think about Kamm?” T asked Owens, “He's a better ball player than even his press agents have touted him, particularly when it comes to "ficlding,” replied Owens. Kamm can do anything Jimmy has a few trica of 1.8 own.” “Can he hit?” 1 anguired.

In the two world series between the Giants and the Yankees, Snyder did practically all the catching for McGraw’s club and his work would hare been hard to improve upon. His handling of pitchers was per- fect, rarely did he err in his selec- | tion of pitches for the Yankee slug- | gers. It didn’t take long for the con- versation to ewitch to Kamm, ahd the first question I asked Snyder was if he could hit. “Unless Kamm hit away above his head in the series with the Giants, he won't have any trouble holding up his end in the American League,” replied Snyder, “I had been told he was just an ordinary hitter, but he began to slam our pitchers from the start. Then I began to work on him. I think 2 had our pitchers work harder on: Kamm than any other member of | the Sox, yet his work at the bat featured the series. “On what Kamm showed me in 15 games I rate him a mighty good hit- ter. He's a big leaguer right now. Chicago won't have to worry about a third sacker for years to come.” o—_—_____________» + LEGION NEWS | LETTER EMPLOYMENT PLAN.
