 "The sand is not eaten as food, but as something to aid the digestion of food" explained Fitzgibbon yesterday in dilating on his discovery. Chick ems and turkeys and other fowls do the same thing. That gave us the idea"
 The sand caters received many let ters regarding their novel cure.

PRELIMINARY ROUND
 OF TENNIS CONTEST
Belgian and English Teams to Meet Today in First Battle for
 Davis Trophy.

Folkstone, England, July 7.--Ai- though a Respondent view of Eng lands chances of this year lifting the Dwight F. Davis international lawn tennis trophy is taken by the English press as well as by the sporting public, much interest was displayed in the preliminary round between England and Belgium, which begins today.
 The English team is composed of J. c. Parks, H. Roper Barrett, A. R. F. kingscote and T. M Mavrogordato.
 The Belgian team are P. DeBorman (captain), w. H. Duvivier, l.. Trasen- ster and A. G. Watson.
 The selection of the English players has been much criticised. Parks ii is pointed out. proved a great disap- pointment at the Beckenham try-outs. where the tennis papers declare he was "distressingly out of form" The judges, however, found it impractic- able to leave him out of the team. Barrett and his partner at the same meeting were badly beaten in the doubles. Kingscote. whose style was very graceful, lacked accuracy and strength. while Mavrogordato did not distinguish himself.
 In case the English should win from Belgium it will meet the French team at Wimbledon on July II, 13 and IA.

FOHL'S TEAM HERE
 FOR MIDWEEK GAME
Waterbury to Clash With New Britain Tomorrow at Electric Field
 Big Scrap Anticipated.

With their batting eyes sharpened, New Britain will meet Waterbury to- morrow afternoon at Electric field and a battle royal should result. The run ners up in the league, no doubt. ex- pect a walkover, but with either Will son or Hancock working the home team may have something to say about that.
 Despite the fact that New Britain lost. the bleacherites were pleased by their scrappy exhibition against New London yesterday. The Skis had only one bad inning, the second, and al- though facing almost overwhelming odds in a handicap of seven runs, Moves men buckled right into the game and gave the Planters as hard a game as they have had in two weeks A new spirit has hit the New Britain club since the two-ply defeat handed to Hartford Saturday and in the future any club in the league can count on a stiff fight before downing the Skis. The last time Waterbury was here, June 20, FohTs men just managed to nose out the home team, 6 to 5.
