Spellers do not have to pay, and in fact would not be permitted to pay one cent. Tickets for reserved seats are free as long as they last, which by the way, will not be for long, eince the supply is almost exhausted. There also will be several hundred “rueh” seats for which there are no tickets but which also will be open to the public. In conncction with the requests for tickets, it is well to remember that the spelling bee editor is a busy man. He admits it himself. He canuot take time to accept requests for bll(’kc(s over the telephone nor to stop to address envelopes in reply Lo mail requests for tickets, Stampea addressed envelopes enclosed ‘with the request will be given preference as iong as the tickets hold out. Today the spelling bee editor in- troduces three school champions from the Nathan Hale Junior high school: Fred Donati Fred is 15 years old, but says his advancing age will not react against him. He is a son of Dominick Don- ati of 226 East Main street. The father 1s a carpenter and the boy is | building a reputation as an outstand- ing student in school. Rose Katz Nobody is going to fool Rose Katz, even in the Nathan Hale school. Last Saturday Rose called at the Herald office and inquired if she could have 10 tickets if she became one of the !'school champions. She was told she could have them. So she became a school champion—nothing to it as far as Rose is concerned. She is a daughter of Jacob L. Katz, who is connected with a local dry cleaning company, and she says she is out to “clean up the field.” Rose is only 12 years old. She lives at 29 High- land Terrace. Mildred Pich Mildred lives at 51 Spring street and is 13 years old. She is a daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Pich. She says she will let her spelling speak for her, One speller yesterday who had three tickets more than he needed, hearing that tickets were getting scarce, returned the extra three to the spelling bee editor. If any other spellers have more tickets than they need, their return will be appre- ciated. At least 10 applications for tickets came from Hartford, while every mail brings letters and every hour | brings visitors seeking tickets. Remember, the time is 7:30 p. m., Tuesday, May 7. he place is the High school.

You Can’t Be Well When Kidneys Act Sluggishly. DO you get up these spri ing morn- ings feeling stiff and achy— NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1929. BOSTON BRAVES A WONDER TEAN Baseball Writes Begin Compar- ing Team With Former Clubs New York, May 1 (UP)—The odds are prohibitive that 9 out of every 10 baseball writers in the United States have found reason in the past week to dig up the history of Bos- ton's Braves of 1914 for the purpose of comparison with Emil Fuchs' 1929 edition. 8chool children throughout the nation know the story of the ball ciub that suffered a sunstroke while wallowing in the cellar during mid- season 1914, and rose to unexpected heights to capture the National league bunting and the world's championship. Those school children will tell you that the 1914 Braves started from | nowhere to win a place in the hall of everlasting reknown. That is the big difference between George Stall- ing's Bostonians and the Braves of 1929, Boston today is out in front of the National league race with a lead of one and a half games. Instead of starting at the bottom to work up, the 1929 Braves are starting at the top to work—who knows where? They have no room for advance- ment while there are seven berths below them {n the National league any one of which would be willing to serve as a final resting place for the Fuchs combination. Baseball critics, before the season opened. cast an almost unanimous vote for the Braves as the worst team in the league, and the majority still are to be convinced that they will finish higher than deep in the second division. Boston fans—and there are base- ball fans in Boston—are enjoying the unusual spectacle of a Hub team leading any league while it lasts and are satisfied with the present. The future, they fear, will arrive soon enough. The Giant fans, here in New York, probably are the most worried group in the older vircuit. Ten games with the Braves, Phillies and Robins. picked to finish sixth, seventh and eight, name your order, have brought the Giants a percentage of but .500. John J. McGraw has been a vic- tim of something—he Rasn't the least idea what. Of course yester- day's 2 to 0 defeat at Brooklyn was not a surprise. Dazzy Vance prob- ably will beat the Giants again this year. But against the Phils and Braves McGraw has been haunted by a jinx that defies definition. The Giant pitchers have looked better than those of the Yankees—and the op- position apparently weaker. But the Giants have dawdled along, winning and losing for no apparent reason. The theory has been advanced that the Giants must have stern op- position before they hit their stride and become really dangerous. If this is the case they are due for rapid advancement for.

TRY OUT GOLF BALLS to Con- United States Association tinue Experiment Despitc Euro- pean Protests, New York, May 1 (UP)—The United States Golf association will continue to experiment with golf balls of varying size, despite the de- cision of the Royal and Ancient club of S8t. Andrews, Scotland, to make no change in the size or weight of the present one, H. H. Ramsey, pres- ident of the association, said yester- day. The movement for adoption of a larger and lighter ball was launched in this country but met vigorous op- position abroad until recently when i~ appeared that the Royal and Ancient might decide to try the new ball.

The petition for sewers on Prince- ton street was turned over to the common council and that board will act upon the petition.
