Mark of Manual Training
Team Made in 1910 Goes
Down Before Assault
of Bronx Lads.

Two new relay records and two even
ing high schools sprint marks were
established in the annual high schools
novice games and championship relay
races and the evening high schools
championships which were held on the
Brooklyn field Of the Public Schools

clipping one and four-ffths seconds
from the figures made by a Manual
Training quartet In 1910.
The second relay mark was broken
by the High School Of Commerce 1O0-
pcund class team, which was timed In
so seconds.
Robert Schulz, Of New York Evening,
made new records In the 220 and 4AO
yard dashes. In the furlong dash he
lowered the old figures OF 20 2-5 Sec
onds to 23 3-5 seconds, which have
stood assaults for three years. The
s40-yard mark of So seconds made by
John O'Brien, Of Long Island Evening
in 1909, was broken by three seconds
by Schulz.
The team honors IN the novice com.
petition for day students was captured
BY De Witt Clinton with a total of ~
points. Commerce finished second
with % points. Morris was third with
19 points.
New York Evening students monopo-
lied the places in the races in which
they participated and had an easy
time winning the point honors with a
count of SO points. Brooklyn scored
10 points and Morris Z.

DEBATE GENERAL
DEFICIENCY BILL
Senator Nagee Says tuberculosis
Commission Was Too Jealous.

Hartford March 1.-THE financial
side of state administration was
brought to the attention Of the legis-
lature today when, in the senate
there was discussion of the general
deficiency bill reported by Senator
Magee from the committee on appro-
priations. The debate bore many
criticisms of the policy of commits
sions and departments to spend more
money than has been voted to them.
The deficiency bill was taken up from
the calendar. Senator Magee direct
ed attention to the deficiency amount
for the tuberculosis commission OF
1000, the largest item in many.
He said that he hesitated about critl-
cising the work of that commission
but he felt that the commission had
plenty of zeal and were too jealous
The commissioners had used part
Of the maintenance fund to make
what they thought were necessary re-
pairs The commissions report says
that the appropriation was cut down
S35, 900 two years ago. They had
asked for 81 per week per patient on
a basis of five hundred patients, and
had received instead of 1865, 900 asked
for the total of $4,000. Senator
Magee said he hoped that some way
would be devised to compel different
commissions and departments to keep
within the appropriations. When the
legislature says 100000 it should
mean 100000 and not 100000.
Klett Seeks Information.
Senator Klett asked if it was so
that the repairs were made and that
money for maintenance was lacking.
Senator Magee replied that the
commissions report showed that in
October there were Alt patients and
while it might have happened that
there had been five hundred or more
patients under treatment the report
did not show it and the commission
did not need the full amount set aside
| for maintenance.
Senator Isbell asked if the commit
| tee had considered legislation which

STRONG MEN TEST
TO START TONIGHT
Kenneth Andrews Arrangcs Events TO
Determine Physically Perfect
Specimen.

The physical examination and tests
to determine the strongest man in the
association and the man who makes
the nearest approach to physical per-
lection will be started at the Y. M. G.
A. tonight by Physical Director Ken
meth e. Andrews.
A complete set of events has been
arranged and two weeks will be ar
lowed in which to take the tests. The
tests have been divided into three
groups. The events in any group
groups can be taken according to the
pleasure of the person undertaking the
test.
The first group consists of pullups.
pushups and grips. The second grosp'
consists of dips and tests for the
strength of the back, the chest and
the legs. The third group consists
only of the rope climb and an endur-
ance test. Although there are only
two events in this group, it will be
the stiffest on account of the rigid
ness Of the endurance test.
The test will not be so difficult tffft
any man of ordinary physique cannot
take it, but in order that only those
who are physically fitted may attempt
| it, a physical examination will be
given each man before starting the
work. This examination will be both
vital and general. A classification Or
all the entrants will be made accord
| ing to height and weight.

French u.s. GUN
BEST ARTILLERY PIECE
Claims French Officer at Front
Since Outbreak Of War.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
Boulogne, France, March ia
French artillery officer who has been
ut the front from the beginning OF The
war, has sent to the newspapers an
account of the French rs" gun,
which he regards as the most success
full all-round piece of artillery in
use by any army.
THE feature in which the gun has
most conspicuously established it's gu
periority," he writes, 'is in the
rapidity of its fire. This 70 some OK
tent depends upon the division Of
labor among the gunners, but even
more upon the mechanism properties
Of the gun. The designer mas so ar
ranged it that no matter how the
weapon is pointed, the force of recoil
passes through the exact center of the
heche or anchor. In the German gun,
the force is directe not at the point
of the beche, but at point to right
or left of it, with the result that tho
gun tends to be slowed around and
has to be continually aimed afresh.
Resists Deterioration.
"a great virtue of the French "75"
is the extent to which II resists de-
terioration. If you examine q French
shell that has been fired at the end of
the past six months of hard fighting
you will find evidence that the guns
rifiing is almost as good and efficient
as at the beginning of the war. This
comes as a surprise to many people
who have heard of the rapidity with
which naval guns deterIorate, but the
conditions are, of course, different, as
the velocities needed III naval work
make an enormously greater demand
upon the naval gun.
"a great deal has been written
about the deadliness of the French
shell fire and the relative inefficiency
of that of the Germans. Assuming
that the shells of both guns explode,
the French shell will have the advan-
tage for the following reason: The
German shell hits the ground and digs
a hole. BY the nature of things-as
the fragments of shell must fly,
roughly straight-nothing will be hit
| that is below a line extended out in
| diagonal direction from the sides of the
! hole dug by the shell. In other words,
/ it is possible to be lying on the ground
/ quite close to the spot wnere a shell
| has burst and to be untouched. A
| horse has to be a yard or so farther
AWAY, but even he soon gets out of
the zone of the fire.
ExpIodes I'm Air.
with the French shell it is differ
emit The French shell is constructed
! to ricochet; it strikes the ground and
| bounces, only exploding when it is
| in the air as the result of the bounce.
| The explosion occurs when the shell
| is off the ground, and there is no
/ hole surface to protect a possible
! victim.
"Our experience in the present war
! seems to show also that the French
