COMMODORES TO PLAY BASEBALL The Catholic high school Commodores will start basehall piactiee this week. Father. Joseph Hession, athletic manager of the saJrool, announced today. Coach George Laurent will coach the team. The opening of practice has been held up somewhat because of the new diamond in the municipal athletic field in the south part of town, has not been placed in condition yet this spring. Work was scheduled to start on the diamond today, however, and it is thought that it will be in condition within another day or two. Prospects for a good team are faitly bright, although tlte Commodores are in need of a first class hurler. Unless one of the candidates developes into a good pitcher during the preschedule practice, the infielders and outfielders probably will have plenty, to do. Bernard "Red” Meyer, who did the hurling last year in a creditable manner, was lost through graduation. The Mylott brothers and Gass are the most likely candidates for the job this season. "Petie" Mylott is the most experienced catcher on the squad, however, and Coach Laurent probably will hesitate in moving him out of that position. Father Hession said today that the baseball schedule is not complete, but he is negotiating with various schools for games. / The 1928-29 basketball schedule for the Commodores is almost complete. Father Hession said today, and will he announced within a few days. Several new teams will appear on the schedule. o— ... _ — NEWS FROM THE i TRAINING CAMPS I l PAINESVILLE, Fla., April 2.—(U.R) —Eddie Farrell, Braves' shortstop. who was hit on the head by one ot; Dazzy Vance's fast balls Saturday.

BUSH EXPECTS PIRATES TO WIN Phoenix, Ariz., April 2—(U.R)—Four straight defeats at the hands of the Chicago Cubs have failed to shake, the faith of Donie Bush In the trail club he has assembled for the 192 S . pennant race and the fiery little lead-' cr of the Pirates told the United Press today he expected the Pirates to win again. "I expect the race will be about the same as last year's," Bush said, "and. of epurse, I believe my club will finish on top again." Bu--.h expects the Giants. Cardinals and Cubs to furnish the strongest opp: lition. The addition of Sparky Adams, who came to the Pirates in the trade i which sent “Kiki" Cuyler to the Cubs has made the Pittsburgh infield in ! the opinion of Bush. With Adams at second, Bush has shifted George Grantham to first, using Joe Harris as an understudy f.r Grantham. Two of the National league's brightest stars, Wright at shortstop and Traynor at third are stationed on the left side of the infield "Our pitching staff appears to be stronger than it was a year ago," Bush said. The Pirates have picked up three promising youngsters in Fred Fussell from Wichita Falks, Ervin Brame i from Jersey City and Lester Bar- . tb omew from Columbia. Fussell and Bartholomew are southpaws. Tne trade which brought. Burleigh 1 Gi lines to the Pirates and sent Vic i Aldridge to the Giants apparently | has turned out well for Pittsburgh. Kremer. Hill, Miljus, Meadows. Dawsen. Crimes, Fussell and Bartholomew are expected to shoulder the pitching burden. The outfKd will be about the same as last year’s, Bush believes. “The Waners will be as good as ever and Comorosky will be an improved player," Bush said. Earl Smith and Johnny Gooch again will take care of the catching. Floyd Scott, who came to the Pirates with . Adams, has been converted from an ■ outfielder into a catcher. 0 Notice To Seniors Members of the Senior Class cf D. H. S. are requested to meet at 7 o’clock Tuesday evening, at the school building, for the purpose of going in a body to the Kruetzmann home and paying their respects to their deceased classmate, Matilda Kruetzmann. SHADES OF GREEN FIND POPULARITY By Alice Langelier, INS Staff Correspondent Paris. —(INS) —Those who suffer from the delusion that green is unlucky, are in for a hard time this spring. For everyone of the French dressmakers are now making it a very popular shade for new frocks and costumes this season. There is the green of limes, the soft green of the first tulip leaves, a chartreuse green which is half yellow and a peculiar green that is hardly green at all. it is so soft and pale. Bottle-green, together with other brighter shades, are not as fashionable as last season. Empire-green is used for taffeta and tulle frocks. Marcel Rochas is showing a beige coat lined with Nile green crepe de chine, worn with a frock of the same shade which has an interesting design in two shades of brown and a darker green in a curving band of crepe de chine under the arm. Then there is a coat-frock of green and white checked silk which opens over a white petticoat. Next to green, black is perhaps the favorite. An all-black suit comes in pannel velvet, the skirt swirling from a low hipline and the coat coat with tight-fitting sleeves and a narrow, upstanding collar with a large bow tied on the left side. The ends of this bow are trimmed with heavy pink pearl fringe. Red will be fashionable for lioun- < try and seaside. Bright geranium figured chiffon makes some pretty dresses for the races, worn with shady straw hats.

TOM HEENEY TO FIGHT CHAMPION 1 t By George Kirksey United Press Staff Correspondent. New York, April 2—What chance has Tom Heeney of winning the ■ heavyweight championship horn Gene Tttnney? With the tentative date—July 26 ■ at Yankee stadium — almost four ' months away, the odds against Heeney defeating the champion are about 10 to 1. Maybe higher, certainly not lower. Strange as it may seem Heeney ap- ' patently is the least dangerous of all I the heavyweight contenders. Any one of several of the other con- . tenders might extend Tttnney to the I limit or possibly defeat him' in view 'of the fact that the champion has I boxed only 10 rounds since be won i the title from Jack Dempsey, September 23, 1926. This perhaps is the precise reason ' why the champion selected Heeney as the challenger. It's pretty hard to say just what any fighter will do who has been idle as long as Tunney, but it s a pretty safe statement to say that Tunney has a far better chance to retain his title against Heeney than he would against Jack Sharkey. Johnny Risko, Paolino Uzcudun or Jack Delaney. The challenger is just a big, strong, willing fighter who doesn’t know the moaning of the word “quit.” Heeney lacks the knockout punch i to make him a real menace to Tun uey. Despite his long period of ring inactivity, the champion's superb i ring craft and boxing skill should I carry him safely past the hairychested challenger from "down under." Heeney ranks among the leading heavyweights yet he has no single outstanding triumph to his credit. His American reputation was made largely on three victories, none particularly brilliant. , His victory over Jack Delaney, which elevated him to his present nosition, was by no wide margin. Delaney lost the fight for himself by his continual holding and clinching . and unwillingness to open up. Heeney is credited with a decision over Risko at Detroit last October. | but it is reliably reported that the I fight was close enough to have been a draw. The third high spot in Heeney's record is a one-round knockout of Jim Maloney last September. Maloney. however, at that time was through as a fighter and come out of his corner with the look of a scared rabbit in his eye. A light tap on the jaw and he buckled up. Although he has lost three bouts, Heeney has never been knocked out He has been knocked down but once in his career. ' REV.

Healy, INS Staff Correspondent Chicago.—" Love, him or leave him," was the terse advise given to wives here by Dr. Herman M. Adler, eminent sociological authority when asked his opinion on domestic discords. No woman who really loves her husband has a desire to reform him, said Dr. Adler. She should either love him the way he is or forget him entirely and leave him. the sociologist contended. “It is peculiar,” mused Dr. Adler, “women marry men because they see something nice in them. Then, the moment they are married they set about trying to change the man, to change those things which caused them to love him in the first place. “If a woman really loves her husband, she should humor him and if she cannot do that she should realize ■ she has made a mistake. Why go on ■ living out a mistake, especially when that mistake is the most engrossing ■ thing in life?” I o ' Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Kist, of Port- ' land, spent Sunday with relatives in this city.

"So decided is this trend that film fashion experts predict that black will become popular this summer season. “Personally, I favor black: it offers interesting contrast to spring pastel shades,” adds the star. “Every actress knows the value of black to enhance her assets and disguise any shortcomings. This applies to costumes as well as hosiery. "Women in private and business life are apt to underestimate the important of black, calling It a staid’ color. As a matter of fact, black is more stunning than any vivid combination of colors. My advice to every woman is to select several pairs of sheer black stackings, if advance styles interest her"’ oMiss Helen Draper and Mary Jane . Fritzfnger, Russell White and Wili Hard Bitner attended a show at Fort Wayne, Sunday evening.

Twice in the course of a few months the night mail has been wreck ed. once with the loss of tne aviator. Through Connecticut is but a few miles across and many state air beacons fling long arms ot light around a circle on the skies, this section of the Boston-Hartford-New York route has become a region compared to a reefy shore ot the ocean A thick wall of fog rises along the ridges here and blots out the beacons, sometimes while sections a few miles away are clear. Howard Stark, of B.ston, ran into such conditions, this spring and was forced into his first emergenoy land ing after putting more than one thousand flying hours. Stark lost his bearings and went down. He landed and then crashed while taxi-ing over the ground, wrecking his plane. Dauiel Cline, of Bost:n, went down early in the winter. He cut the tog in his plane and went headon into | trees, losing his life. Many hours as--1 tei ward searchers found his body and ■ wrecked plane. The "wreck of the night mail” has taken on a new meaning in this dis--1 trict since in July, 1926, the planes 1 began to drone across on the chief New England route.
