Uses to surpass any gathering of the
past. There have been years when
greater individual stars came 10 the
Intercollegiate, but never such a
wealth of material scattered through
OUT the different events.
No less than six OF the athletes
competing today have lowered
worlds figures. either in practice or
competition, while 10 are credited
with being capable OF lowering pres
ent records.
By today's trials, tho field will be
reduced TO IL men in the dashes,
10 men in the hurdles and 10 in the
quarter and helf-mile runs respec-
lively. In each OF the five field
events only six men will be left.
Jack Monkeys Cornell team is
big favorite. for the Ithacans all
round superiority in the distance
runs and the field events, and the
fact that fully 35 men will be enter
ed. makes IL hard 10 pick a team TO
beat them.
The Pacific coast athletes are in
the best Of condition and are certain
TO cut largely into the scoring col

That's Why Tigers Get Tangled
Up In Eighth Straight
Defeat On Road

SCRANTON, Pa. May 26.-The
Tigers are recalling that old song
about the longest way around being
the sweetest way home, and have
| stopped OF at Scranton for day be-
fore returning 10 Detroit TO open
the long stand at home. They have
little TO say regarding the long
slump. They are simply fighting
mad. sore at the world and a bit puz-
zled by all that has happened TO
them. No one in particular is draw
ing the blame for the worst slump
that has befallen a Detroit club is
years. There Is no dissension on
the club. although there is plenty OF
grabbing and grouching just now.
Somewhere they have lost their
punch and il can't be found. Some
OF the boys seem TO have bunch
that the old wallop will greet them
again on the home diamond, and
these apostles OF optimism are work.

Boehler probably will get another
chance 10 show his wares this after
noon at Scranton, where the club
plays an exhibition game with Bill
Coughlins club. F'laherty. the new
pitcher. too. is likely 10 do bit OF
work. Baker is expected 20 do the
catching. \ number OF the boys
came straight through 10 Detroit.
Jennings keeping with him only
enough TO give the Scrantonites a
treat.
There was little new and certainly
nothing charming about Thursday
game at Boston. except that the
Tigers did make an earned run. This
is sworn TO by competent and disin-
terested witnesses and cannot be
( doubted. The run. the second OF its
kind in nearly 30 innings. came in
the first inning. Bush singled. Cobb
sent him 10 second on an inaeld out
and Veach scored him with another
single. The Tigers also scored an
other run in the ninth. but a wild
I heave by Gardner gave them that
They had six other chances 10 score
all OF which they booted. The
fourth. fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth innings opened with singles
but nobody was chased around the
paths. In the second Young got a
walk and reached third, where he
! was stranded.
! Meanwhile Boston peppered
Messrs. Cunningham. Boland and
Erickson for occasional hits. some
sacrifices, more hits and five runs.

KLETT POSTMASTER
AS SENATORS DINE
Hartford County Republican Senators
Give Banquet to Other Re-
publican Senators.

Senator George w. Klett of this
city acted as POSTMASTER last evening
at banquet given in the Hartford
club at Hartford by the four Hart
ford County republican senators to
the republican members Of the next
senate. OF the twenty-five republic
cans. twenty-one were present and
those absent were Howard 3. futile
of Naugatuck, H. P. Bissell of Ridge
field, F. M. Salmon Of WestpOrt and
Archibald Mcdonald of Putnam.
Among the others present were Gov
ernor Holcomb, Lieutenant Governor
G. B. Wilson and John Buckley, clerk
Of the new senate.
'Toastmaster Klett called upon Gov
ernor Holcomb for the first speech
Of the evening and the governor re-
marked upon the excellent legislation
brought about during the past two
years and expressed the nope and be-
lief that the coming two years would
show similar results. To a great ex-
tent, the governor attributed the ex-
cellent financial condition of the
state to the legislation of 1915. The
lieutenant governor also spoke on
similar topic
Clerk Buckley, asked by w. j. Lar
kin Of Waterbury what effect it
would have upon the clerks work
should the state librarian be permit
ted to take introduced bills and pho
tograph them, explained the present
duties Of the clerks and then told
what possible effects such a procedure
might have upon their work and the
work Of the legislature. 1t seemed
to be the opinion of those present
that such plan is not advisable as
it might tend to confuse the clerks.

PAPER INQUIRY
is RE-OPENED
Federal Trade Commission Hears
More Of Scarcity of Product
Plan Discussed

Washington, Dec. 29.-The federal
trade commission reopened hearings
today in it's news print paper investi-
cation taking up the inquiry where it
was left off two weeks ago for study
of a distribution plan proposed by pa
per manufacturers. The plan still is
under consideration.
The commission planned to present
again, facts concerning costs of paper
manufacture and profits in news print
making. Publishers charged they are
paying extortionate prices and that
artificial news print shortage has been
created by the diversion of news print
making machines to other classes of
work. Manufacturers have contend
ed prices are reasonable and that the
makers are privileged to produce the
kind of paper that pays the largest
profits.
Under the distribution plan pro-
posed all the publishers would get
small reduction from present prices
obtaining the bulk of their supply I'M
der an agreement supervised by the
commission by which large publish
.ers would relinquish a part Of their
normal paper supply for next year.

GAVE EVIDENCE
THAT PROVED
IT TRUE
Mr.. Harold Marth of ass Stanley ST.,
Tells New Britain Residents Start
ling Facts That Will Interest Many
People.

Well said Mr. Martin the Lax-a-
Tone expert at the Economy New
England Drug Co., 365 Main ST., l.
am pleased to say that the New Year
1917 is surely going to hold great
favors for many people l know IN
New Britain, I have in mind many
many people that were great suffer
ers in 1915 that are now so we'll on
their way to complete recovery That
they cannot contain themselves much
longer and are anxious to tell their
friends the good news and also tell the
story Of how they returned to health
and happiness after many months or
wears of sickness, I am going to tell
you said Mr.. Martin In these peoples
own words of how they struggled, OF
how they despaired, and how they
hoped against hope, of how sickness
depleted their earnings and also how
after all these troubles and sorrows
they found that road to health
through Lax-a-Tone the remedy that
has set the whole q. S. afire with en-
thusiasm. Among the many people
that have found that road to health
in New Britain T take pleasure in
quoting Mr.. Martin who is we'll
known young man, he says:
It Is nothing more than right that
should come to the front and tell
of the wonders that Lax-a-Tone has
done for me as I am sure that my
statement may convince my friends
and acquaintances that this remedy
must have the merit or 1T would not
have accomplished what it did for
me, for a long time I have suffered
with headaches and severe back
aches felt sore and lame all over I
seemed to have a cold that I could
not break up, I was getting very
much discouraged because I could get
no relief and as you are aware that
this dragging kind of sickness makes
you feel bad all over. Well to make
a long story short I began to use
Lax-a-Tone and now I can say that
I am entirely we'll, I am just feeling
fine and am only toe gladd, to tell
about 1t. 'S@'
Now dear reader do NOT discourage
yourself needlessly if YOU, are suf-
ferer from constipation, indig estiOn
dyspepsia, sour acid stomach, with gas
and bloat, feel tired out, nervous and
run down, have thin blood and get
chilly and clammy catch cold easy
and feel that you can not stand it
any longer just go down to the Econ
omy New England Drug Store, a65
Main St. and see the Lax-a-Tone
man. He will sell you bottle of
this wonderful remedy, tell you how
to take it and just what it will do
and will also be frank enough to tell
you what it won't do.
Mr. Martin will be here till 10
O clock Saturday nights for those who
are unable to see him during the week
also till 9 .. NJ on Monday.
