When He Kisses Children

Because he insisted on saying good-by
to his children in spite OF the objections
of his sister-in-law and her husband,
Ernest Coram, a volunteer, in uniform,
was hailed before Judge Pugh yesterday
morning in Police Court.

Corams attorney Robert I. Miller, that
Coram was not a Stacker and was anx-
Ious to go to France to fight for his
country. Judge Pugh agreed with this
much, but said he could not exonerate
Coram from the charge Of assault, and
placed the soldier on probation.

Clinton and
Erasmus Win
Swim Titles

The borough team swimming cham
pionships of the Public Schools Ath-
letic League have been won by De
Witt Clinton High School, Of Man
haitian, and Erasmus Hall High School,
Of Brooklyn, it was announced yes
terday. At a special meeting to-day
Of the swimming committee, Of which
Emanuel Haug, Of De Witt Clinton,
is chairman, a place Tor holding the
final meet, upon which hinges the city
title, will be decided upon.
In winning their respective honors
the two teams emerged from the round
robin series without suffering a de-
feat. Each school is yet TO engage in
its final series, which takes place this
week, and. irrespective OF the result
cannot be deposed from their lofty po-
sitions. The toss Of coin will decide
the place where the final Erasmus
Clinton meet will be held. II Eras-
mus Hall should call the turn the big
Brooklyn Central Y. ". C.. A. pool
probably will be chosen. Clinton will
choose the City College tank if the
winner.
Clinton chronicled a more impress
sive record than Erasmus Hall in its
series Of victories. The Manhattan
team was called upon 70 meet Stuy-
vesant. Townsend Harris Hall and the
High School of Commerce, twice each,
and the strength of these combina-
tions can be cleaned from the fact
that they could more than hold their
own in a series OF races with Erasmus
Hall The latter had only 20 dispute
the Brooklyn title with New Utrecht
and Boys High, and found these teams
easy propositions. The Clinton swim
mers also showed their strength and
superiority by closely approaching the
existing records in many of the events
they won.
