Speaking of Sports Following a conference between a committee of the Industrial Ath. Jetic council and the athletic com. mittee of the Stanley Rule & Level Co, the differences which arose be- twen the committee as a whole and the concern over the eligibility rul- 113 in the Industrial Basehall league, hiive been patched up and the Stan- I'y Rule & Level Co. will be pre- scnted in the Industrial Daseball League this season. The Stanley Rule team withdrew from. the circuit after the athletic councll adopted an amendment to the eligibility 30-day elause which would allow college men who had previously worked in the factories, to become eligible for the baseball teams fmmediately upon resuming work at the respective plants, - A conference was arranged and ths technicalities over which the diiferences arose were discussed and the ohjections ironed out. Ticreupon, the Stanley Rule com- niittee agreed to rejoin the league. were Then with this good piece of for- tine making for complete harmony 11 the league, another came that en- tirely eliminated all possible chance for trouble. With the Stanley Rule & T.ovel returning to the fold, the league was made np of seven teams. Today announcement comes through that the American I'aper Goods Co. will have a team in the league. The Kensingten club rounds out the cireuit into eight teains mak- tng everything perfect for the open- tng game. The schedule will be worked out with cight teams enter- ed and everything will be in readi- ness for the opening of the league. Arthur Pilz of this city, former all-around athlitie champion of New England, who has had one of the most successful seasons in history as the director of the Meriden Boys' club, has landed anofher important position for the summer months.

It was the first time since 1905 that the men from down under had failed to reach either the challenge round or the final, except in 1928, when they were beaten by the Unit- ed States in the first round. Australia has won the cup six times. The hero of Italy's surprising vic- tory was Baron Iubert de Morpurgo who scored two of his country's three singles victories and, with Cas- lini, won the doubles. The young Australian star, Pat Crawford, was the only Antipodean to win a match. De Morpurgo's 1-6, 6-4, 6. J 6-1 victory over the veteran Patterson provided one of the big- gest tennis thrills ever gecn in Europe. Only two of the eight winning teams had much difficulty in reach- ing the second round. Spain, the tirst to play, barely won over Chile, 3 matches to 2. Another South Amer- ican nation, Argentina, provided un- expectedly strong opposition for Great Britain. Although they lost 4 to 1, the Argentines forced the Brit- ish to the limit in every mafch. “The victorious nations in the other ties played are Austria, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Germany and Roumania.
