TEES OFF WEDNESDAY Third Annual Herald Fresh Air Tournament at Shuttle Meadow Local golfers are enthusiastically preparing for one of the most import. ant New Britain golf fixtures which will take place next Wednesday at Bhuttle Meadow, fhe occasion being the third annual Fresh Air turnament, an, affair which everyone may enter and which offers such a selection of prizes that “duffer” and good ama- teur allke may win one or the other, The different pleces of sliverware are glven by the New Britaln Herald, which purchased them at cost through Porter & Dyson. The use of the course Is glven by the Shuttle Meadow club, and the whole proceeds from the two dollar entry fee required goes to the Fresh Alr fun for the maintenance of the children's camp at, Burlington. Two years ago about $200 was netted from this source, last year it was near- ly $300, and it {s hoped that this year it will bring at least $300 worth of sunshine into the hearts and frames of some New Britaln youngsters who are much in need of the outing which the fund affords them. Seven prizes are on display and will be given away at the close of the play Wednesday. They will be awarded to the player getting the lowest gross score and the second low- est gross, to the player getting the low net and the second low net, and to the player who successfully chooses his handicap in the “kickers"' event. There are two seeond prizes in the last event as well as the first. Golf prizes are not necessarily an induce- ment to the toilers of links, but a day of sociability on the course with the prospect of a memento of the oceasion furnishes ‘the impetus that will get many players out. In the background, also, 'should be the realization that a vast amount of good is to be done with the entry payment.

Crowe, state's attorney, called back to the stand Detective Sergeant Gortland, saying he wished the witness to identify some of the notes from which he read the homb- shell of last Friday when he quoted Leopold as wishing to plead guilty before a “friendly judge.” The questioning had to do largely with the exact dates on which Gort- land made the varlous memoranda.
