last year, there was a lineup of the
Alexander and Poe factions. Dr..
Alexander was reelected and DR.. Poe
was retired from the official position
he held with the organization for
some years. Since then, resignation
from official and private membership
in the Union have been in order, the
State organizer and lecturer, Mr.. j.

The next resignation of consequence

had already been noted as an absen-

"A Tug Boat Romeo" featur- ing Chester Conklin is rip-roaring comedy and a laugh from start to nish; has tricks up his sleeves as good as some of those pulled off by Charlie Chaplin The story of the "Rummey" is a modern American, one full of red blood. A reporter whose faith in wo- men is the joke of his companions marries one out of pity at night court" and is then made dereIict by her supposed faithlessness, brought about through the trickery of polit- ical boss. Color and vividness are add ed to the story by scenes showing the big newspaper printing presses, the linotype operators at work and the working of the staff. No one will go away disappointed after seeing the ex- cellent bill offered.

WAGNER, GREAT SHORT,
 WILL NOT PLAY AGAIN

President Barney Dreyfus, of the Pittsburg Pirates. while in Louis vile at the minor league meeting confirmed reports that Hans Wag ner has played his last game as a Pirate.
 "Yes, Wagner has definitely and finally retired from the game" said Dreyfus. He really should not have tried to play last season. He found it impossible to play with the speed which the fans had grown accus toned to expect of Wagner. In 1is day he was undoubtedly the great est shortstop of all time. He has a long and honorable record on the diamond.
 Hans quit the game to which he has been credit and an example for all young men to follow with probably as many friends as any bal player ever had. Wagner has snug income from his investments, and as he is now married he will live in retirement in suburg of Pittsburg
 "No, there is no chance of any club to sign Wagner to act as scout He does not wish to travel. and be ing we'll fixed financially. the salary would be no inducement to him. The fans have seen him play his last game of professional baseball"

LOTS OF TIME TO PICK FEM

Some of the opponents of the pro- posed 1S-player limit say that now is no time to cut teams when the draft may come along, and take it's toll of what are left But these seem to forget this: The IS limit would not go into effect, say, until the first of May. By that time the major the draft had required and could be governed accordingly Nobody proposes to enforce an 18-player limit from the first of January on. What Uncle Sam doesn't take by the first of next May he probably never will ask for, so that the clubs could cut their teams in perfect safety.

PENN AND WOLVERINES MAY SPLIT THIS YEAR

There seems little reason for hope that Pennsylvania and Michigan will resume gridiron relations next fall. Michigan has returned to the Middle Western conference and while Yost professes to believe that there will be difficulty in arranging important contests with teams of the Big Ten. westerners are more optimistic and have already arranged, on paper, for the Maize and Blue to play Chicago and Minnesota.
 The conference rules, as a matter of fact, permit only seven games, and whether the Wolverines would care to use up part of their small sore of contests in games between two eastern institutions is question. Pennsylvania shows her fears in seek ing to arrange a game with Georgia Teach for a date in early November.

Moreover. it is thrillingly interesting from start to finish. A theatrical management should be encouraged for securing such features. The claim is made by many theatrical mahagers that the public would rather witness "spicey'' pieces and those which border closely on good taste than those which are edu- cational and uplifting. and most man. agers try and give the public what they think. it wants. In The Martyr dom of Philip Strong" there is a good opportunity to test the public in Ju- neau. There are other features which go to make up an excellent program.

CONNORS-HALLORAN
BUYS HOLLANDERS'
Former Clerk i'm Hartford Store In
tcrestcd in Purchase With New
Britain cx-Mayor.

Announcement was made today
that the Connors- Halloran Co. of
this city, in which ex-Mayor Joseph
M. Balloran is financially interested.
has purchased the stock, fixtures and
good will of A. Hollander Sons at 80
Asylum street, Hartford. This Is con-
sldered one of the largest business
transactions of it's kind in New Eng
land in years
The Hartford store has been in the
Hollander family for 90 years. 1t
was founded by a. Hollander and
continued by his sons, Aaron and
Simon Hollander, and has been rec
ognized as one Of the leading gen
tlemen's furnishings establishments
in the east. It's passing into other
hands marks a milestone in the life
Of Hartford business.
The most remarkable feature of
the deal is the fact that only seven
years ago James w. Connors, 20
years of age at present, was employed
by the Hollanders as a clerk. In
those seven years he has risen to be
one of Connecticut's leading clothing
merchants and now has three stores
in Bridgeport, as we'll as being inter
ested in the Connors-H aIloran Co.,
Of this city. His rapid advancement
sets q new precedent In state business
circles and is one of the many ro-
mances OF American success. He has
boon ambitious to secure a footing in
the Capital city and was determined
to enter on q large scale when an OPP
Fortune time arrived. His purchase
of the Hollander company is the rela
ization of that ambition. Mr.. Con-
nors intends to establish clothing
houses in other cities also.
The Hollander establishment is
said to have more floor space devoted
strictly to mems wearing apparel than
any other store in New England. 1t
is thoroughly up to date in every ap-
pointment and is modern in every re-
speCt.

on Criticism of State Council Of

George M. Landers, democratic cam

the billboards in front Of his home
on Main street the Estate Council of
Defense sign to which his republican
admirers objected. Mr., Landers did
not remove the sign because of the
republican rem onstrances; 1T was
merely al oversight that 1t was not
moved before the billdoards had
been covered with posters advertising
dem ocratic candidates, Mr.. Landers
said today.
Il have no apologies to make for the
Sign being there" Mr.. Landers said.
1T would have been down long before
had not my housekeeper been i'll. The
billboards are my billboards. They
We're erected by me at my own eX-
pense and I believe I have the right
to use them as I consider proper. The
advertising space is worth S1,8OO a
year, for which / have charged moth
ing while advertising the projects of
the food committee of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense and the State Food
Administration.
Furthermore, as soon as possible, L
will cover all the billboards, not one
alone, with advertising for democratic
candidates. The new program of the
Food Administration does not go into
effect until December /. After that
date tho display will be used entirely
for the success of the food admins
