I 1L 1 I :i: would be an excellent idea, 'since both leagues have only itnree teams playing. A fourth team in either league would be on asset Iran the point of competition, particularly in the "A" group where there Ls a grave 'tianger that one team might get so far ahead as to ruin the competition. M"t of file Navy lads arc from H.M.C.S. Uganda and some of them played on the team which made a pretty good shewing Wiile tha't ship was v<lng'here. Uganda's team also defeated an iAmerican Army team at Kodlak and won one 'jame and lost one at Dutch Harbor. Out of tta 11 tnen who are here, it is hoped' that a hoop team can be put on the floor for regular league play. Tonight's games In the Civic "Centre gym will see Savov and '99' Taxi bump in their second en- counter of the season. Savoy Hook a 22 point drubbing in the J opening game on October 12, and ihe hotelmen are.eager to even things up, particularly since the taxlmen stand in an unbeaten position In the league. There are those who claim that Mr, Murray's boys had a toush time handling B.C. Packers Saturday- night and wonder if the advance Ing, season may not see both!

CRICKETERS MAKE MONEY "-LONDON, TO Although bad weather rdined several games, ihe Indian cricketers who toured Britain this summer feared expenses and made a small profit. rThe Nawab of Pataudl, the captain; and C. S. Nayudu returned to India by air but the others decided against Jt. They went home by cargo boat. "Chief, there's an applicant here who said he used to make his living by sticking his right arm Into a lion's mouth." "What's his name?" "Lefty." SHORT SPORT If money is the root of all evil, here's a tip that will put you right in step, with Satan, Mortgage the homestead, if nec- essary, and sink It all in greyhound racing stadium stock. Even the !Bay Stteet and 8t James Street boys, who keep a razor-keen ear on the trans-Atlantic financial gossip, will agree that your "sinning" will be on a mighty big scale. Hugh Dalton, Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, quite probably will grudgingly nod his head In assent. But there's one hitch in our tip. So many people want" to "do evil" that the market Is' practically cleaned out. Even the tommorr 'shares are ?oidedged. Britain's 52 dog tracks hold meetings twice weekly throughout the year and, much to h hand-rubbing :lee of the promoters and shareholders, the port has appealed to the aver age Briton, ever willing in the post-war boom, to take a chance. Crowds of 50,000 and 60,000 on arace night are common. By way of "proving rir tip Is "on the level," take a look at o few financial statements issued recently: Sheffield Sports Stadiumboosted Its 1943 dividend to 250 per cent, compared with 123 per cent, in 1914; paid a first Interim dividend of 75 per cent. The company's $36,000 of one- shilling (20 cents) shares arc (quoted at about 34 shillings, making the capital worth more than 600,000.

L Need we go on, Mr. Dalton, it ia rumored, would like to get in on this easy money. Not for him self, we hasten to add. but as policemen of the country's finances, he would like to teer some of it into the public coffers-via betting tax. BARROW-IN-FURNACE, Eng. -Vlekers Armstrong.

The power of a free press to ferret out the truth was amply rllustrated in the recent death of the King of Siam when, through the efforts of A.P. and Reuters correspondents, a medical commission was appointed and the death was attributed to assassin ation rather than suicide. i "SIMPLE Millbank is a Mild, Virginia Cigarette they mean UNVEILING IS AWAITED Newfoundland Memorial to Marconi Was Erected in 1939 ST. JOHWS, Nfld. OH A monument to Guglielmo Marconi, marking the spot where the Italian Inventor received the first transAtlantic wireless mes-'rage in history, has stood here for seven years awaiting un-'veiling. The monument was erected in 1939 but the official unveiling never took place becarse the world was too busy with war. It has stood, shrouded in sailcloth on St. John's Citadel Hill, a ghostly sentinel overlooking the harbor mouth. It stands nine feet high and was a gift of the Canadian Marconi Company to the people of Newfoundland "to commemorate an outstanding event In the Island's history and a new era in world communications," It was on Dec. 12, 1901, that Marconi, Italian inventor and electrical engineer, startled the world with his feat. He had received a signal from Poldhu on England's southwestern tip' 1,900 miles from Newfoundland.' The message consisted of the single letter "S" In Morse code and was received distinctly m?ny : times during the day's epoch-' making experiments. But the world at first was, skeptical, of such magnitude was the claim. New York newspapers were hesitant to accept, it and even Thomas Edison described it as a newspaper fake. As the truth spread across the world, messages began to pour in from kings, pjinces and emperors. The limelight of the world was focused on Newfoundland and the Inventor. Oddly enough, Marconi chose Newfoundland for his experiments in response to a distant plea from Its minister of fisheries, T. J. Murphy. The minister liad published a chart illustrating scenes of 80 wrecked steamers and other vessels which had piled up on the Island's WORDS' Cool, Straight Cut Simple words but CHOW MEIN Cafe 720 Third Ave. Hollywood Cafe PRINCE RUPERTS NEWEST AND MOST UP-TO-DATE RESTAURANT FULL-COURSE MEALS FROM 11 A.M.

Named "Benjamin Franklin House." the building is the last surviving home of Franklin while he was London agent of Pennsylvania, flpnrcln Npw .Tptspv and Massa- ' chusetts. The society terms It "a unique symbol of British-American solidarity." Windows were broken during the blitz and ceilings were brought down but the foundations, walls and beautiful panelling are not damased. rocky shores. Getting In touch with Marconi, he sought erection of a wireless telegraphy station on the dangerous coast. The inventor accepted the invitation, landed In St. John's early in December, 1901, and began setting up Ms equipment. He had previously transmitted a message 225 miles. Now, he said, "h hope to accomplish the feat of sending messages 400 miles." A week later, he far outdid himself with reception of the signal from Poldhu. MenPastWOId1?
