Speaking of Sports, Fans who attended the Yale Princeton-Cornell boat races st Der- by watched with interest the work of Bliss Clark in the shell of the Cornell freshman crew. Those who were fortunate enough to get a close-up of the former New Liiitain High school athlete marveled a' his physical condition. He weigh- e exactly 197 pounds and is in the pink of condition, is is a new sport for Bliss. In hizh school he trled bis hand at football, basketball and track. By the way, a couple of “young Eports” from this city expect to be in Cambridge during the next week- end to see the inter-collegiate track mcet there. They are Eddie Delan- . former captain of the New Brit- ain High school track team and ¥rank Sheehan, shot putter on the Gasco track squad. New Britain I{igh school baseball team must win all of its four re- maining games in order that it might break even in wins and losses. for the season. Games may be play- ed with Plainville and Lewis Hign school of Southington and in that case the Red and Gold team will have six chances to win a game. Tt is indeed encouraging to see the way Joe Potts is coming through as a hurler with the high scheal team. He is only a first year pupil at the school and if he can maintain his form he saould be a star in his last two years. The Industrial league opens this afternoon at 5:30 o'clock with four teams in action. P. & 1% Corbins. last year's champions, will 1le with Stanley Rule, and IFafnirs and Russell & Erwin team will have it out. i ANDREW PAYNE Deposit, Y., May While a preceding motoreycle pop- ‘esterday Beston 3-3, New York 4.8 Philadelphis ¢-3, Washington 3-1.

Umpires assigned by Larry Man. gan, supervisor of arbiters for the league, for the games tonight are Herbert Sautter and Mike Lynch. Sautter will work on diamond No. 1 and Lynch on the second diamond. HAS HER TROUBLES Owner of Kentucky Derby Winner Says That She Does Not Want 1o Own Another. Chicago, May 22 (# — John D.

The three latest victims of the <isease which baffles physicians are said to have developed rheumatic pains in their joints.

Twenty-two persons have con- tracted the malady after pointing paint brushes with their mouths while painting luminous watch dials. Fourteen are dead and five are critically 11 Today Raymond H. Berry, counsel for the five women, will petition Vice Councellor John H. Backes of wark, N.

Berry presented the case for the five women, who are secking $1,250.000 damages, last month. Berry contends the women will die hefore the case is called in Septem- ber. Physicians refused to comment upon the condition of the three vic- tims, but it is understood that their symptoms are identical to those of persons who have died.

Airplane Hunters Now Coping With Coyotes Grand Forks, N. D. May 22. (®— Extermination of the coyote s a step nearer through the agency of the airplane. Airplane hunting of coyotes has been taken up by two pllots, Clyde Ice of Rapid City, . D., and Dr. R. J. Rutten of Langdon, N. D. Ice has bagged 77 of the animals in three months and claims that he can-dis- pose of a thousand next winter. The airplane, according to Ice, is the best means of ridding the coun- try of the coyote and saving farm- ers thousands of dollars in livestock losses. The coyote may not be suc- cessfully trapped for he is wary of man-handled contraptions. Since he hunts at night, the rifle is prac- tically useless against him. Poison he will not tak-. Both Ice and Rutten use shotguns with large shot charges. Both hunt- ers found their greatest difficulty in “following” the coyote with their shots, since the plane moves faster than the coyote, PAST COUN LORS’' NIGHT Past councillors whe are employed at the P. & .
