A plea of not guil- ty was entered and announcement was made by the mayor that he would fight the case. The mayor acted as chairman of the committee of Elks Which brought the St. Louis team to Ansonia. It was stated today that a protest against St. Louis playing in Ansonia had been filed with Baseball Commisssion- er Landis in behalf of the New Hav- en team of the Eastern League. The protest is said to have been based on the claim that Ansonia is within ten miles -of 'New Haven, and within the jurisdiction of the New Haven team. The St. Louis managers found that railroad time tables gave the distance between the two places as 13 miles. LEADING HOME RUN HITTERS IN MAJORS American League Willams, St. Louis ....

Morris Williams, 2nd, last year’s Davis cup doubles team, would be selected again in ‘preference to the combination of Tilden and Vin- cent Richards, national champions. ~ “The committee last year estab- lished the policy of having two men available for singles only, with an- other pair for doubles,” the statement read, “and in view of the successtul operation of that plan in’ 1921, has been disposed to follow the same line this summer. “So far as singles are concerned, Willlam T. Tilden, 2nd. and William M. Johnston appear sure ‘of = their places, for no rivals have seriously threatened their supremacy thus far.” It was added, however, that the committee considers the doubles an “open question” and since the try- outs between the Tilden-Richards and Williams-Washburn pairs -has: been examining the players' records to de- termine the combination which will have the best prospect of defending the cup successfully.

A general misunderstanding - of the fishing law, section 2, chapter 190, of the acts of 1921, regarding the number _0( rods and lines which can ba used by i dividual fishermen has led Supt John W, Titcomb of the state fish and game com- mission to interpret the law in its broad- est sense and allow the use of two lines. In instructing game wardens as to this law Superintendent Titcomb points out that persons when angling from a boat may use two lines, but that this does not mean that the fishermen can leave their boats with the lines remaining in the water, or, if fishing from a bank, stick their rods into the bank and go away, with the line dangling in the water. e lines must be attended by the fishermen at all times. The law has been explained by Super- inténdent Titcomb because of alleged vio- Jation by fishermen who, when Tepri- manded by game wardens, claimed they understood ‘the laws otherwise and aiso becausa game wardens had different ideas as to the meaning of the law.
