vENTURESOME LADS ENJOYED LONG RIDE IN AUTO AMBULANCE
They Slept on Bedding That Conveyed Diseased China
 man to New York
Ousted From Conveyance Which They Quietly Entered in New York When Car Neared City Supt. Johnson Sends Them Home

Unwittingiy riding in what may have been a pest conveyance, John Heck, sixteen years old, and Stanley Nelson, the same age, residing in the Bronx district of New York city, en- joyed a perfect ride from Jerome Parkway to within a few miles o1 Bridgeport. At least they enjoyed the ride immensely until they were put off of the conveyance, an auto-am- buIance from Hartford, by the driver who found them comfortably esconced among the mattresses and pillows within.
 They were then compelled to walk penniless amidst the watery deluge and muddy roads leading into this city. They were a bedraggled pair as they appealed last night to Supt Fred Johnson of the Charities department for food and lodging until their par- ents could be communicated with in New York Heck gave his address as 2o45 Prospect avenue. and Nelson said he lived at 21o7 Mapes avenue
 They had seen the beautiful white car coming up Jerome avenue and opening rear door had cIambered in. They had not taken count of the speed or distance covered by the car and were surprised when informed they were in Bridgeport. Money was fur nfshed them by Supt. Johnson with which to return to their homes after their clothing had been dried before the furnace in the police building.
 The ambulance was upon a return journey to Hartford from which city a Chinese patient suffering with unknown ma1ady had been quietly re- moved from St. Vincent's hospital for observation in New York.

PARENTS SEEK TWO
 BRASS CITY GIRLS IN LOCAL THEATRES

Thought to have left their conafor- table homes by the lure of the foot lights and the sights to be seen in the larger cities, two young and pret- ty girls from Waterbury are today sought in Bridgeport bv their anguish ed parents and the police. Rocco Saii- mandi, IS years old, whose father, keeps a large grocery establishment at B Ridge street, Waterbury. accom- panied by Margaret Pelletier, the same age, collected such additional clothing as could conveniently be packed in large dress suit cases and on the night of Nov 9th, left for parts unknown.
 The girls were last seen by acquaint- ances riding upon a train towards Bridgeport. It is not believed that they were abducted, but are rather the victims of the wander-lust mania, as both have recently conversed freely upon the life of the actress as project ed upon the moving picture screens Of their local theatres.
 No trace of them has been found since their arrival at Bridgeport, hut as they were endowed with liberal supply Of money their parents fear they may have already left for the metropolis. or have joined some theatri-s cal company. Margaret Is a high school student of Waterbury. and but slightly acquainted with the ways of the world. Their mothers are broken hearted and await their return with open arms.

VERMONT HUMBLES
CATHOLIC u, 5 TO |
Twirlsr Malcolm Allows Brookland
Sluggers but Three
Scattered Hits.

Catholic University went down to a
bad defeat yesterday before the Uni
versity of Vermont team by s to L The
wildness of the Red and Black twirlers,
the errors made behind them in the in
field. and the hits that were mixed in
were directly responsible for the Brook
landers' defeat Also certain Mr.. Nal
com, who was toeing the slab for the
Northerners. had quite a hand in the
outcome. His pitching was the best seen
| on University Field this season. Three
hits, two of which were made By Nc
Donnell. was the best the heavy-hItting
Red and Black aggregation could do
with his delivery, Malcolm issued three
passes and famed seven. Time and
again the Brooklanders had men on the
bases. but he would invariably tighten
up. and the best the next batter could
do would be to roll easy grounders to
the infield or drive out long flies into
the outfieiders' hands.
Although Ryan and Clancy were not
in the best form. nevertheless the team
did not play the game behind them that
il should have. or that II has been In
the habit OF playing. The Brooklanders'
crack infield had an of day. letting
three comparatively easy chances get
away from them and not showing their
usual speed. McGeady was back at his
old place in left field, and showed that
he has not forgotten how 10 hold down
that position, catching three long flies
in the easiest manner.
The work Of Mcdonnell. the Red and
Black receiver, was about the best Of
the game Not only was his throwing
to bases perfect. but he also got two
of the teams three hits, one Of them
long drive to left field that was good
for two bases and the other a smash
ing single over second.
The Individual fielding honors for Yer
mont go 70 Dowd. His work in the short
field was of the best order, and, although
he is credited with an error. still several
of his stops were sensational Berry. the
vermontersg right fielder. pulled one
down that had left Chief Greene's bat
labeled for two bases. and this catch
brought the crowd to it's feet. Halstein,
the first baseman. and Flaherty, the left
fielder. carried of, the batting honors
for the Northerners. The former got
three hits out Of 1--WE trips to the plate
and the latter got two two-baggers out
of four times up.
Catholic University got its only run in
the opening chapter Lynch. the FIRST
man up. got free transportation to first.
Skeets Hayes. who followed him. struck
later with double TO left, but was
thrown out himself trying to stretch the
hit into a three-bagger. That was all
was able to do, for Malcolm held them
well in hand for the remainder Of the
game.
Several times they had men on bases,
but were unable to get them around.
