His weight is 196, only two pounds less than the weight he hopes to make for the Firpo contest. CALZA WINNER. Springfield, April 11.—George Cal- za, the most Popular wrestler to in- vade Springfleld in years, added a technical victory to his list last night when he hold off the great Marin Plesting for 90 minutes at the Audi- torium. Calza, on the defensive most of ' the time, took everything the giapt Berb handed out and then came back for more. A crowd of appraximately 3,000 watched the contest, the biggest to see a match in the history of ing in this city. lamson ~/ubbard HATS snd CAPS L2ad the style procession as usual , |mighty well, Spe\aking of Sports No matter how ealm a balloonist may be, he always goes up in the air at the last minute, Henry Zehrer, a veteran of football champlonship High school team two years ago, becomes cligible for sports at the school on April 20, He has been ineligible beeause he left schopl. He will make a try for catcher vn the school nine. This player should fill in well, as the squad is shy of good backstops. Nelpp, captain-etect of the I, basketball team, has been shiftud to the outfield since the return of the above named player. “Clancey" RBell, a distance man an the H. B. track squad, is showing up The High school track squad holds its practices in the cinder path at the New BRritain Machine company ath- letic fleld, “Porker” Clark and George Herd- \ein, two promising track men, have left school. The former was a 440 man and the latter rook part in the 220. The story is going around the Eastern league that the Waterbury club failed to send Bill McCorry a contract. In that event, Bill would be a frec agent. The fact is that Bill recetved his contract some time ago. He hasn't signed it yet, but if he plays this summer, it will be right there in Waterbury. Just when it appeared that Brick Kane might make the grade with the Phillles he was cut loose from the roster and shipped back to Hart- ford. Probably Paddy O'Connor is chuckling at the break which gives him a clever, hard hitting outfielder, The Senators surely need outfield talent, if they are to get anywhere this season. Gene McCann won't get Senor Ra- fael Quintana, Cuban inflelder with the Yankees, at least not for a while yet, according to the New York Sun., Ira Thomas, manager of Shreveport club of the Texas league, tried to make a deal for the little Cuban, but Manager Miller Huggins turned a deaf ear to the proposition saying he intended to keep him a while longer. One report had Gene Martin, New Haven outflelder, going to the Balti- more club by sale, but George Welss rises to offer emphatic denial. Stanley Baumgartner, the only holdout in New Haven's squad, has reported at Wilson, N, C. A while ago it was reported that 8id Marks, Fall River promoter, was especially eager to obtain the serv- ices of Kid Demoe, Hartford In- fielder, for his semi-pro club this season. Marks is still seeking Demoe and another Fall River product, Walter Torphy of the Brasscos, Hartford understands that Demoe ST R ML LS T T H Now is the time to spray your trees and vines for dormant spray.

PRIEST DUBS SPIRI PICTURES AS FRAUD Ho' Demonstrates How Easily “Ghosts” Can Be Reproduced New York, April 11,—8ir Arthur Conan Doyle's “spirit pictures,” show- ing throngs of shadowy flgures gath- ering about the tomh of the British stice day, were derided here by Rev. C. M. de Heredla, 8, J,, who demon- strated in the photographic depart- ment of The Evening World that he could cause similar phenomena to ap- pear on photographic plates without touching them and without any aid from the other world, Is Catholic Priest Father de Heredia, a Catholic priest in Mexico City, has made a long study of spirituallsm as well as the tricks employed by stage magicians and sleight-of-hand performers, He described his method of produc- ing weird photographs as ‘“trickery and device, and spiritism not at all— because as between living persons here on earth and the npirits that have passed from the body there is not and cannot be a control from the living world." ’ The Evening World published two of Father Heredia's pictures, one a photograph of Willlam H, Anderson, state superintendent of the Anti. saloon league, upon which had been superimposed the shadowy figure of a Uipsy vagabond and a bust of Sir Ar- thur and the other a photograph of himself, “upon which he placed the form of a tin-hatted doughboy with his rifle at “present arms.” Whispers Secrct To Staft Man Three memhers of the newspapers’ staff wh® were present at the demon- stration testified Father Heredia did not touch the plates and did not ap- proach closer to them at any time than three feet. When he had finished his demon- stration he proved how simple it all was by whispering the secret to a staff photographer in the group, who thereupon made some ‘“spirit” piec- tures unaided. On his way out, Father Heredla is- sued a challenge to spiritualistic ex- ponents to produce any phenomenon that he could not duplicate, provided he was given *as much time to pre- pare as they have presumably allowed themselves." Sir A. Conan Doyle in.a statement made after he had seen the newspa- per reproductions of Father Heredia's experiment at ghost photography, said that great ignorance of the subject had been shown. “Has No Appreciation of Facts.” “The claim of Fr. Heredia or of any other conjuror,” he said, “that he can make counterfeit ghosts is quite outside the question and shows that he has no appreciation of facts that I have put before the public, “The point which he ignores is that in a whole series of these cases, which I can show, the faces of the dead have appeared in a clearly recognizable form when the photographer had no possible knowledge of the identity of the visitor and could, therefore, have made no preparation. “Such childish argument that we could all fake a photographic plate or build up a bogus spirit disrcgards the real point at issue and is unworthy of a serious discussion, “There is in England a society called the Society for the Study of Supernormal Photography. We are| about 100 strong and we contain professional men, photographers, sci- entists and people of all sorts. We have for some years studied this question closely and many hundreds of psychic photographs have been most carefully analyzed. We have our own paper which we circulate among our members. | “Greatest Expert Authority.” | “We are the greatest expert author- ities on this subject in the world and I do not think that among all our| members there is one who would now, | after his experience, sustain the 1du! jof fraud. “We are all agreed, however, that the matter is exceedingly complex and | that the process by which the image comes upon the plate is often very different from that of ordinary pho- tography and is in many cases the precipitation of an impression upon| the plate which is brought about| quite independently of light.” | Sir Arthur exhibited several of the | society’s spirit photographs which have been accepted as authentic and pointed out that the spirit faces in them were clearcut and easily dis- tinguished’ likenesses on comparison | with photographs of the subjects when | alive. The ghost-photographs of I Heredia he asserted, were meaning- | less blurs, even allowing for the dif- | ficulty of reproducing them clearly in & newspaper cut.

New York, April 11,—"Rum row" is not a myth but is a tangible thing supplying much of the liquor being smuggled into the United States, Pal- mer Canfield, the new federal prohibi- tion director for New York and north- ern New Jersey has admitted. The New York Herald published today an invitation of Mr. Canfleld to newspapermen to accompany a party of prohibition enforcement officials who are arranging to vieit the tatter- demalcon fleet anchored off the:New Jersey and Long Island coasts, “The liquor being consumed in re- sorts hers is coming from that fleet,” Mr. Canfleld said. ‘“‘Before we can dry up New York we must get to the source of supply and use a legal stran- gle hold in putting a stop to the flow of whiskey emanating therefrom.” YEARN FOR AMERICA “Fever” Breaks Out in Various Parts of Sweden—Young People Seek ed on thi |in 1 Fortunes.

Fur- TRIS SPEAKER MAY END CAREER ON FIRST BASE Connle Mack Sort of Feels That Call- fornian May Be Brought Into Infield, Philadelphia, April Mack has a feeling that Tris Speaker will end up his baseball career as & first sacker. When he read that Guisto would start the seascn and Brower would succeed him in case the Californian failed to come up to expectations, Mack remarked: “Even if Guisto and Brower fail to deliver, Speaker wouldn't have to worry, Have you ever watched Bpeak- er playing the infleld? Well, he puts in a lot of time around first base and plays it very capably. “Playlng center field calls for muchleg work. If Speaker finds his lower limbs are bothering him, I can | see no reason why he couldn’t shift to first base. He is a wonder on ground balls, is a left-hander, has a fine arm and is a sure catch, Bpeaker has every asset of a star first sacker and it wouldn't surprise me if he rounded out his career at that position.” There is much logic to Mack's ob- servations about Speaker. For years ing expenses, and most of them have'the Cleveland manager has practiced a great deal at first base. He is right now capable of playing the bag. With a bii of experience he would more than hold his own. It is possible that Speaker may be the ace in the hole for that job in case his two prospects slip up on him. However, Speaker feels that Guisto will deliver and that in Brower he has an equally capable substitute, Dempsey-Gibbons Battle Is Wanted in New York New York, April 11.—Tom O'Rourke, bid for a heavyweight boxing cham- pionship match between Jack Demp- sey, the titieholaer, and Tom Gibbons of St. Paul.

Chicago, April 11.~A spring drl against liquor law violators got unds | way today when the federal |jury met under instructions from | Judge James H. Wilkerson to ferret out and bring to court the “higher | ups"” who finance the “huge deals which have become public recently,” Although Judge Wilkerson did not | refer directly to the recent distribus tion of the stock of Grommes and Ulrich liquor dealers, who disbanded and divided two thousand cases of fine liqguors among gold coast stock- | holders, he gave the jury carte | blanche to delve to the bottom of all | liquer deals in Chicago. “I have been amazed,” the court told the federal grand jurors, “by the array of petty offenders of the prohis bition law who are brought into the | federal courts, I want to know why | the prohibition law is stified. I want |to know why the real offenders are | not brought into court. I want to | know what are the powers that fle nance the huge deals which have bee | come public recently and why only drivers and petty peddlers are cited | for prosecution.” 3 RAWLINGS WILL PRESIDE | Former Chief of Police William Jo | Rawlings of this city, will preside af !a banquet to be given in the Hotel {Garde at Hartford this evening ta | State Comptroller Salmon.
