AFTER GREAT STRIKE
 OUT RECORD,

WHERE are a number of remarkable
 things which may happen during this summers baseball season, but one which is sure to come off is that Walter Johnson will pass the 1,500 mark in strikeouts unless he abandons the game or breaks that S100,000 arm.
 The man who won the automobile for being the most valuable player in the American league last season has, since he entered fast company, claimed 1,45S strikeout victims. No other ma jor league hurler has in the seven con- secutive seasons from 1907 to 1913 'amassed this total In fact, only three other men have famed over 1000 ball players in this length of time. They are Ed Walsh, Nap Fucker and Christy Mathewson.
 Big Ed" Walsh, the spitball star of the White Sox, has been Johnsons closest rival for the title of strikeout king. The Chicagoan has sent 1,405 batters back to the bench since he has been contemporary of the Senatorial star. Walsh twirled in only sixteen games last season, but from 1907 to 1913, inclusive, he took part in forty eight more battles than the renowned Kansan.
 Christy Mathewson has famed 1,137 men in the last seven campaigns and Nap Fucker 1,12s Eddie Plank, Con- nie Macks great southpaw. almost reached the 1000 mark in that time. 997 of his adversaries taking the count. Chief Bender claimed 864 victims, Howard Camnitz S04, Jack Coombs

FOR UNSICHTLY COMPILATIONS
 USE RESIN0L

Pimples and blackheads disappear, unsightly complexions become clean, clear, and velvety, and hair health and beauty are promoted by the regular use of Resinol Soap and an occasional application of Resinol Ointment These soothing, healing preparations do their work easily, quickly and at little cost, when even the most expensive cosmetics and complicated beauty treatments fail. : :: Resinol is not an experiment. It is a doctors prescription which proved so wonderfully successful for skin trou- bles that it has been used by other doctors all over the country for ninc- teen years. No other treatment for tho skin now before the public can show such a record of professional approval.

 to Polls-Children Not Neglected.
 White Plains, N. Y., May 7.-The school election here yesterday brought out a heavy vote of the women of the district, who f1ocked to the polls when assured by voting their children would not be neglected. A room in the school building had been fitted up with nurse in attendance, and mothers left their babies there while waiting to cast their ballots. Of the 251 votes cast, 124 were those of women, and the ticket backed by them won with out opposition.
 At Irvington, near here, Finley J. Shepard, husband of the former Helen Gould, was elected school trustee on an unopposed ticket. Mrs. Shep- ard, whc is the heaviest tax payer in the Irvington district, did not vote.

Crew Coaches Discuss Four
 Mile Race

A MEXICAN college crew coaches are
 hopelessly divided over shortening boat races from four to three miles.
 Guy Nickalls. Yale-A short race does a man more harm than a lone race. The mile and one-sixth race at Henley does the oarsmen more harm than the four and one-q quarter milo race at Putney.
 James Rice. Columbia do not be- lieve in a four mile race for collegs crews, and I am heartily in favor cf the race for junior eight pared univsr- sity crews in place of the old four oaS- ed race. It is not right to have mere boys train down for such . race In the short period of tins that we in Amer ica give to rowing. a.
 James Ten Eyck, Syracuse-There h no danger of serious injury to an oars man who takes part in . four niis race provided he is a sound man and is in good health on race days
 George Epler. Wisconsin-I think the three mile race would answer all pur- poses for which it is intended and a the same time eliminate some of the objections to rowing.
 Vivian Nickails, University of Penn syIvania--I would just as soon have . three mile race, but I am afraid that the cry would go up for . two, then for a one mile race if this change were carried out. If they will sign up for twentysyears for three mile race. then I'll agree.
 Dr. Spaeth, Princeton--I have si- ways. been opposed to the four mile race for Princeton. There may be less harm in the longer race for those col leges which can practice for the fun distance on their home course, but do not believe in spending SO much time and money to send crews away for practice.
 F. l.. Guerna, Leland Stanford There is no reason for adhering to the four mile distance. which Is admittedly a greater physical strain to the oars- men, unless its continuation means benefits that do not attend the three mile race.
 Charles Courtney. Cornell-I don't believe in a four mile race. I never did, and I am unalterably opposed to it
 H. B. Conibear, Washington--Ths distance has nothing to do with it.

Nap Lajoie
 Never Kicks
 Over Salary

NAPOLEON LAJOIE never has been
 known to complain regarding the salary paid him by Charles w. /.,mers. but it is quite likely that he wishes that during all the time he has worked for the Maps their liberal owner had offered him a bonus such as Joe Jack son has been proffered this season. The Carolina clouter, according to a rumor is to get so much if he hits above 400, so much if he hits above .375. and so much if he hits above .550 Never having hit below the last named mark since he has been in the Ameri- can league the chances are that J. J. will earn at least one of them.
 Look what Larry would have had, however, in the way of extra remun- eration had his contract called for more money in the event of his, hitting above 1850, .375 or 400. In 1901, work ing for Connie Mack, the king piled up an average of APP, still the highwater mark for the American league and only approached by Ty Cobb in 1911, the year he was accounted the most valu- able player in the younger organiza- ton by the Chalmers jury of newspa- per experts. The Georgian hit .420 that year and .410 the next, Joe Jack son having an average of .40S in 1911. and Charley Duke) Farrell an aver age of .404 in 1903.
 During the two years of his employ ment by Somers, Larry has hit better than 1875 and in five years better than
 1850. Cobb has been above the last named mark six times, Hans Wagner five times, Joe Jackson four times, Iris Speaker twice, Ed Delehanty twice, Olaf Henricksen twice and Mike Don lin twice.

 New Faces
  On English Polo Team

THERE is a surprise in store for American poloists, according to the latest advices from Madrid, where the English team Is practicing for the international matches. The team which is to meet America has been picked and two of the four men selected are practically unknown in this country. The lineup as decided on at present is: Captain H. Tomkinson, No. 1; Major F. W. Barrett, No. 2; Captain Vivian Lockett, No. 3; Major c. Hunter. back.
 In picking this team such good play CTS as Captain Matthew Lannowe, Cap tain E. Palmes and Captain Railston were eliminated. Captain Ritson is out of it because of sickness. The chief difficulty was to find No. 1, and. though Captain Palmes was the favor ite for the position, he had to be drop ped because he was a man that it was found hard to mount. Captain Tom kinson, who has been chosen to make the attack on the American goal, was a leading figure in English polo last year. He played No. 2 on the Quid- nuncs. which won the open champion ship of England. and also was in the same position for the Fifteenth hus- sars. which won the interregimental cup. He is hard hitter with good direction, and is considered the equal of Captain ,Cheape. who was the ad- vance man last year.
 Perhaps the most important part of the lineup is the change from No. to No. ? of Major F. W. Barrett the most brilliant player of the 1913 English season. This change was made be- cause the practice showed that the team was particularly we'll off in backs. Captain Vivian Lockett, who played back on the visiting four last year. has been moved up to No. 3, and his place as guardian of the goal turned over to Major c. Hunter. Major Hunter is an other man not well known here. but he made sensational back for the Tigers team in the big matches last year. Ac- cording to the critics on the other side, Major Hunter was the whole Tiger team.
 As selected. the English team practi- cally becomes one of two forwards and two backs. If no change is made 1t will offer a novelty so far as the direc- ton of play goes, for Major Barrett, who Is slated for the captaincy. thinks that he can fulfill his duties while playing No. 2, instead of being at No. 3. which is his regular place and also he place usually occupied by the team captain.
 As soon as the internationalists reach England match will be arrang- cd against the old Cantabs, which is considered the trial horse of English polo. On this team will be Captain Haseltine. No. 1; F. M Freake, No. Z: W. S. Buckmaster. No. 3, and A. L.. Tate, back. The men will have two weeks practice at Birmingham before leaving for this country. The trial matches will be played under the di- rection of Sir Douglas Haig, the newly elected chairman of the Birmingham club.
 There Is considerable satisfaction ahroad over the forwardness of the in- vaders. The practice in Spain has brought the team to stage that was not reached last year until just before AhA international matches. With the

NEW WING OF MUSEUM OPENED AT LONDON
King George and Queen Mary Have \ Distinguished Honor.

London, May 7.-King George and queen Mary today opened a new wing E.Of the British Museum which has just been completed at a cost of million dollars. It is the first part of a large scheme of extension. In 1895 the government bought a considerable portion of the Duke of s..Redford's property around the mu- s%eum for $1.250,000 and large area ayas cleared. The legacy of $25O,O0O gbequeathed by Vincent Stuckey Lean for the enlargement of the museum gave impetus to the present extension The bequest was intended particular iy for the extension of the reading room and library, to which the tes- tator was a frequent visitor.
 The new building is in architectural , Harmony with the old museum. It's fsc scade, which is f1anked by two mas siye towers, is of Portland stone, the cHter walls and pedestals of the fore court being of Scotch granite The main entrance is surmounted by a Balcony, the parapet of which is j formed by the stone laid in June 1907, by the late King Edward. The doorway itself is formed of marble. surrounded with granite, and is closed
 
 which are sculptured in relief.
 Architecture Very Simple. q. The architectural composition of the Sbuilding is severely simple. In the sh,terior the object in view has been to deprive the extension of everything Irrelevant to the main purpose, the primary idea being to make it mere Background for the exhibition of the nations treasures.
 An important feature of the new Wing is the staircase which is the link Between the old building and the new one. This is extremely simple in de- sign. It's walls are covered with marble, which has been selected more for it's texture as background for antique sculptures than for it's vein- iEg.
 The building comprises a basement s.af. we'll as sub-ground, ground, meg EIhning, and top floors.
 Apartments for Works.
 The top floor will accommodate the print department. In the basement will be stored books or newspapers.
New Britain herald., 1914-05-07

The eastern half of the sub-ground floor will be utilized as copyright office and for book storage, while the western half will be in part public newspaper room.
 The mezzanine floor will be largely given up to staff rooms, and it con- tains space for the future accommo- dation of music and maps, while the Stein collection of Eastern paintings is being temporarily housed there.
