A. Staff Corrc-iMJiideiit NBW YORK, J-sly 9. Carroll, song-writer, lyricist, playwright, producer and manager, has during hi5 life four things lie loves better than all others -writing songs, being high in the air, a California bungalow, and, of course, a wife. And, being a young man of no small amount of perspicacity, perseverance and pep, he if now possessed of all four of them in tho strangest of all places on the tup of a 20-story New York oflice building. Carroll started at IS as a playright but vshen he finally discovered lie wasn't really earning anything writing plays, he turned to music, lit: couldn't play a note, but he could whistle.

And he proceeded to wliisl iunes to a shorthand music rc-prt to the tune of thouvands dollar; "Canary Cottage" being the one thjit literaly lifted him to the bf fame, and took him to onua where Karl learned to bv; Calif bungalows just as had already learned to love writing songs. GERMANY SIGNS THE PR0CT0C0L AGREEING TO HER DISARMAMENT (Continued from pages cepted that the conference will ceed with other business on Its pro- pro gram. Asked by Monsieur De La. Croix, the Belgian premier, at the opening of the morning session, what reply th German delegates had to make regarding the disarmament protocol. Dr.

Simons "The German delegation has decided to sign," adding, "under the German consjitutlon we have no power to alter the treaty and recognize that the protocol re- lutes merely to its execution aivd grant the Germans certain dolays. On the other hand the allies threat to occupy the Ruhr or other 'Ger-! man territory In case of non-fulflll- merit of the conditions really means alteration in favor of the allies.

He met and rr.arired Marcelle Hontabat, of movie fame. And then came the war and Karl hiked off to Texas to learn to fly. He did.

After the war Carroll started casting about for i a home. The suburbs were too far a way. The land in' town was too expensive. So he applied for a lease on roof of the Godfrey building at 47th street and eleventh avenue. I He got it and proceeded to build I there a $50,000 California bungalow and move into it his typewriter and his wife.

The bungalow has every modern convenience, is built of stone and concrete, has hi the "yard" a tennis court, a iitudy. and a vegetable garden, and has tlie advantage of being- near enough to Broadway to be convenient and yet high enough in the air to be 'ecluded. case" of non-execution of the reparations clauses. 'V After short adjournment Premier Lloyd George' took the door and "I am very glad the Gtrm'an delegation has decided to sign the protocol. -It would havf been disasterous if the conference had been broken off." The premier then pointed out that the protocol contained real concessions to saying it gave her more time to and allowed hr-r certain Increases in the number of officers and armament, notably machine guns.

After toiling in 19 contests) his share was exactly $19 or a trifle more than 10 a game. But that was the beginning of what looks like many big soawins, both winning and financially for the pouth-paw. He got $12u a month with Alartinsburg.

On Thursday he won his third game for Baltimore. Kddle Hooper who has come in for a good round of abuse on the part of one or the t. hambersburg newspapers and some of the rabid fine there, has Instructed the executive committee of the Chambersburg Club that he was ready to resign if they so desired. The committee, however, asked him, to remain the entire season and has given him full charge of the team, with the right to go c-ut and get boll players, observes the Frederick Post. This Is why Waynesboro protested the game in Frederick: A white mark was painted about 50 feet up toward center field on the top of the sheds.

Anything below this mark toward the foul line that journeyed over the sheds was a two-base hit and any ball going over above this mark was to be counted a home run. Morris protested, saying that 235 feet was the legal distance for a home run and as the sheds were more than this distance away the white mark was not necessary and the game would have to be played under protest. The white line played no part In the game and the only ball that went In left field yesterday was a short liner that Wilhide knocked to Pedone. Says the 'Frederick Post on Friday; "Country Morris says that Frederick and Waynesboro were tied before the game yesterday. According to lociil records, the locals were half a game ahead of the babies.

ICvery paper in the league has different percentages. We don't claim to be right, but it would be a wise idea to have all the papers get the correct standings of the clubs from the president and then be careful the rest of the season." According to P. O. figures, Morris was right, each team having 19 and 18 then. The East End Maroons last evening defeated the West End second team by score of 12 to 1.

Many Stating that as manager of rumors about After Kolseth Kolseth will continue Hanover and denying a change there, the Hanover Sun says: "The results of the rumor show that towns which have been crabbing Kohieth since the beginning of the Benson and whose newspapers have advocated his release by the Hanover directors because they claimed he wa not a good sport, do not hate Koly as much as they would have Hanover believe.

A lot of their talk seems to have been camouflaged for, as sunn as the directors of the Hag-erstown team heard of the rumor, they made Kolseth a tempting offer to play first base for that aggregation. Then, Kddie Hooper, the Chambersburg manager, got wind of tne supposed cnange nere, ana He at once tried to make terms with Koly. And then, would you believe it, "even Frederick thought it would be nice to have the Hanover manager play base for that tim and Koly received his third offer. Three of the towns which, have been knocking him the hardest at once showed their real feeling toward Kolseth when they thought 'that therei might be a chance to land him." Ump.

RlblK)n Clerk Umpires The Waynesboro Press had the following: A little ribbon clerk from a department store in Frederick and a crowd of directors of that club stole one of the most farcical games ever seen in the Blue Ridge League from Waynesboro yesterday. From the start of the game when the locals made a run on the first three balls pitched thers was not a chance for the Villagers, the umpire saw to that.

Seven players on the local team were lined by the department store product because the directors of the Hustlers told him to stick something on them. Proof of this can be shown to any one who doubts the fact, local fans in the directors' box heard the umpire wasf asked if he had gotten anyone yet and he replied, "No, but I'll get He did, he soaked five dollars on seven men for absolutely nothing.
