Speaking of Sports After staging a battle with base- ball and boxing for the center of interest on the sports page, it ap- pears at this time as if football has batticd its way to an exclusive posi- tion which it will hold temporarily, at least. - There seems to be a more wide- spread interest in football than there is in baseball, that is the college type va, that baseball which is play- ed in erganized leagues. For instance there are only & few out and out baseball fans who fol- low all the baseball leagues in the country like the Pacific Coast, the Amfimn Association, the Interna- tiondl and Eastern Leagucs. Fans in their particular section watch with intepest the resuit of the games, but fans in this section do not know much about the leagues west of the Missimsippi. Football, on the'other hand, holds the interest of a good many people. The “Big Ten" for instance had a large following of fans from the east and the teams over in Califor- nia are watched season after sea- son with a view of determining their strength in a bid for the country's championship. Protessional football seems‘to be having a hard time trying to work into the good graces of the football public probably because of the gen- eral impression that the pros are forever looking for the dollar before the touchdown. The New Britain Nutmegs must be complimented this year becausc of & change in the attitude, There seemes to be a willingness to play for the sport of the game and on several occasions during the season sofar several of the players offered te go without their salaries when they saw a alim crowd present. Another criticism of the profes- sional teams is that they want to play for as short a period as pos- sible, but the Nutmeg men last Sun- day refused to.come out of the game ‘Werwaiss who was out with a cut hand asked Manager Zehrer to put him in the game in place of Conklin who was suffering with infections or Tom Humphrey who was “fag- ged” out after a hard game. To the backfield on Coach Cas- sidy's football high school team we dedicate the song: “That's My Weakness Now." Only one member University line which played against Yale University last week has sur- vived the smoke of confusion which brought: wbout a general shifting of the team in the first practice of the week. Ed Kevorkian is to he shifted from guard to tackle and the “B" line is to be shiftéd to work with the regu- lar backfteld. According to information re- eeived from Dartmouth University, Gay Bromberg has recovered from injuries received in the Columbia gane and will be ready for service in the Harvard game Saturday. Local fans will have an oppor- tunity to see the New Britain boy in action a week from Saturday when the “Dig Green team” comes to the Yale bowl to try to pin & defeat on the undefeated Blue team. What an array of nicknames on the All-New Britain team! “Spike” Burps, “Mule” Werwaiss, “Jumbo” Gnasdow, “Red” O'Neal, “Chester” Conklin, “Buck" Buckley, and “gilent John” Davis, “Unkle” Con- ley, and “Happy” Griswold. Bo far no definite steps are be- ing taken toward the organization of the American Roller Hockey league of this seasgn. No players have been assigned, no schedule made, and no meeting held. The league will pot open until after Thanksgiving so there will be plenty of time to decide on plana New Britain should have another great sporting calendar this winter. It is probable that Monday will be given over to roller hockey, Tues- day alternating between industrial lJeague baskethall and the profession- al fights, Thursday to the roller hockey, Friday to the Industrial league basketball, and Saturday to the All-New Britain basketball games. Manager Henry (Zip) Zehrer re- oeived a contract from the manage- ment of the Stapleton football team f Long Island for a game with the Nutmegs on November 4. Many ob- stacles had to be overcome before final necgotiations were completed, the record @f the New. Britain team being a strong assct in completing the arrangements. Howard Belser, a member of one of the greatest New Britain High #chool teams in modern times, that of 1924 and a former member of the Fordham University football and basketball teams, has signed up with the Nutmegs for the season. Too many “dead-heads” and “gate crashers” in attendance at the games of the Plainville Blues were reasons for the decision of the man- agement to call off all home games. The team had a good record of two victories in two starts. The team is out for road games Wwith state teams. A request has been made that negotiations be made with Manager Diggle of Plainvil Next Sunday the team goes to Rristol to play the Bristol West Ends. Fullback to Call Off Signals at Cornell Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 24 (UP)—How. rd Johnson, Cornell fullback, prob- &bly will call signals in the Princeton game Saturday.

HUNGARIAN WOMEN IN WAR AGAINST BACCARAT Aristocracy Finds Family Fortunés Threatcened by Game of Chance. Budupest, Oct. 24 M — Hun- gary's feminine aristocracy has de- clare a merciless war on baccarat. |Aroused by the danger threatening the family fortunes which find their way into the “cagnotte” (cash box) of the gambling clubs of gay Budapest, they have formed a so0- |ciety to combat the gambling acti- vities of their husbands. The pri- mary object of the organization is to expose to public scorn the 100 {or more clubs which flourish in this | city. Five of (he best known clubs of the capital where millions of dol- |lars are won and lost were recently raided by the police. The fair mem- {bers of the anti-gambling organiza- |tion have engaged private detectives to shadow their husbands and re- port to them the places they haunt.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS CTOBER 24, 1928 DOCTOR SAYS HE HAS HFARD NARS {Will Have to Decode Messages 10 Read Them London, Oct. 24 MM—After paying 36 cents a word for government ra- diograms to be sent to & woman on Mars, and after listening for replfts Dr. Mansfield Robinson, telepathist, announced this mornig that certain messages had been received but would have to be decoded. Operators at the Saint Albans ra- dio station who had listened on a wave length of 30,000 meters for a reply, sald nothing had been heard from the distant planet. . The messages sent by Dr. Robin. son were dispatched into space on a wave length of 18,700 meters by the Rugby station at 2:15 a. m. They read “Love to Mars” and “God is Love” and were addressed to Comaruruy, a big eared Martian wo- man, with whom Dr. Robinson said he had had telepathic communica- tion, Special Code As the enthusiastic doctor realiz- ed that Martians perhaps were not acquainted with English he translat. ed the radiogram into a special code for their benefit. Although the British post office which accepted the messages would rnot guarantee their delivery, Dr. Robinson spent the early hours of this morning at the laboratory of |a scientific friend, Professor A. M. Low, in Chiswick, a suburb, optimis- tically trying to pickup a reply on a high powcred radio set. At four &, m. be said: To Decode. Them “We hade received certain mes- sages this morning but must wait until they are decoded.” “There will be some ginger be- { hind their reply,” remarked the doctor reassuringly as he waited in the Chiswick laboratory. “This is the greatest event in the history of the human race. It is the big thing foretold in the mes- sage from the Pyramids. I have a theory that the whirlwind experl- enced in London Monday night was in the nature of a hint from Mars and I am investigating this.” Many Waiting Radio listeners in America, Scot- land, East Africa and the French government radio were like himself watching for the Martian signal, he said. Dr. Robinson added that he did not have this morning that “pain in his left temple which he always suffers when Oomar.ru wishes to speak to me.” His last act in his friend's laboratory was to open a bottle of champagne and { drink the health of all Martians in. discriminately. Wife Not Interested Before Dr. Robinson had been lo- reporter from the Daily Express went to his home in Royden, Hert- fordshire, and found the house |dark. A paper bearing the word “out” was pinned to the front door but the reporter pounded until Mrs. Robinson appeared and said: “If you have come message, 1 know nothing. I have refused to have any experiments in the house while I ag in it. “My husband has gone to London, cated at the Chiswick laboratory a | about that, I do not know whether anyhody there will encourage him, but there will be no foolishness around this house.” 8he then closed the door in fur- ther inquiries. Those who regard Dr. Robinson's endeavors lightly on hearing that he said that Martians had large ears remarke” that the experiment would prove a fine test of their quality.
