.z0NING SYSTEM FOR BRIDGEPORT
 NOW APPROVED

The zoning system for Bridgeport was approved last night at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen when a fla vorable report on the plan was pre- scented by Alderman Stagg and ac- cepted. The plan will be in the works for a considerable time, 1t being i'm possible to take any further action for the present
 Alderman Hogan, Of the minority, anxious to have the city empowered to take definite action in such a mat ter and on other occasions on which purely local questions arose, offered a resolution asking the legislature for absolute home rule for the city. The matter was referred to the MisceIlan- eous committee for consideration, af- ter a discussion of the needs of such power.
 Other business before the council included:
 Amending the building code to pro- vide q fine of S1OO for violation ot regulations made by commissioners.
 Approval of construction of 15O ft of sewer on Fifth street.
 Building line petitions, each ask ing discontinuance on Connecticut avenue and Commercial street and a resolution for the purchase of the Clark property at Island View for a sewage pumping station were refer red to appropriate committees.

ARMY PUZZLED
 ABOUT FLYERS
 PERSONNEL CUT
Selection of Officers Who Are To Be Kept Is Hard
 to Make.

Washington, Sept 16. - Officials of the Army Air Service are prepar- ing list of 1900 emergency officers to be retained in the service until the end of the fiscal year The remaining 1900 emergency officers must be dis charged on or before Oct. 31.
 Those responsible for preparing the list of officers to remain find 1t a diff ficult task. The Army Personnel Bill. passed after the War Department convinced the Senate and House the Air Service and many other branches would be absolutely wrecked unless at least 10000 emergency officers were retained until June 30. 1920, provides that 1900 emergency officers shall be held in the air service, of whom 35 per cent shall be flying officers.
 It Is hard to choose between many of the 2,5oo emergency officers still in the air service. Most of them have remained for love of the service and a desire to keep in the flying game. III SoIhe lnSLdHCeS OLLiCeiS nave been retained because of special technical ability who would like to have been discharged. The policy has been to first discharge the men who were anxious to get out and resume their civilian status.
 In addition to the 1900 emergency officers the Air Service is permitted to retain for the next ten months there will be approximately 15O Reg ular Army officers in that branch making a total commissioned person nel of 1850.

 "The stimulus given to education by the war Is widespread. The great buIwnrk of the nation is in its 41- stitution of learning, and unless thees continue on tho highest plane of ef- flciency America, instead of advano- ing, will retrogress.

BRICKLEY MAY PLAY

Runs Giants Eleuen in Stiff
Practice on Polo Grounds.

Though II had been given out that
Charley Brickley only would manage the
team all indications point to the Har-
ward hero being in moleskns himself
when the Giants take the field against
the Aassillon Tigers at the Polo Grounds
next Sunday in the first game of the big
professional football series. When the
Giants worked out at the Polo Grounds
yesterday Brickley was in moleskins and
ran the first team from the quarterback
position. From the way Brickley booted
field goals his toe has lost little of its
ancient cunning
Brickley ran the eleven through an
hours signal drill in which especial at
tention was paid to the Harvard plays,
notably the wheel shift After the sig
nal drill Brickley lined up two elevens
and twenty five minutes strenuous
scrimmage was engaged in. Brickley
booted two goals from the 25 yard line,
The two elevens lined up as follows:
Team ENDS, Rip Flannery, Syracuse,
and Kussic. Georgetown; tackles. Pike John
son, Washington and Lee and OConnor.

PLAN BILLIARD MEET.
Amateur Body to stage Play for
Eastern HOnOrs.

Plans are now under way by the
American Amateur Billiard Association
for one of the most extensive pocket
billiard tournaments ever held in the
East. The tourney, which II is supposed
will draw an entry of nearly 1000 con-
testants. will be divided into sections
throughout Greater New York. New
Jersey and New England. The players
will meet in a round robin affair until
the sectional winners are decided. The
district champions will then meet iC an
elimination tournament until "A fea.
champion OF the East is crowned.
At the next meeting of the A. A. b. A.
to be held at the Claridge Hotel Oh
October II. the proposition will be con-
sidered in greater detail and definite
arrangements will be completed. just
how many districts will be included ia
the first event in this section OF the
country or how IL will be conducted i5
problematical at this time.
In the Greater New York tournament,
which will again be a feature of the
local season, the city was divided into
sixteen districts, and the winners of
these districts meet to decide the cham
pionship. This year there will be eight
finalists. and they will meet in a round
robin tournament at John Doyle's Acad-
emy, beginning on January 5. Twenty
eight games will be played in this event
and it will take one month to complete
the tournament.

Another Staten Island golf affair that
casts it's shadow before Is the seventh
annual tournament of the New York
Athletic Club, which will start op Sat
urday. October 20. on the Fox Hills
Golf Club links at Clifton. On account
Of the Mercury Footers putting aside all
competition during the war the New
York A. G. tournaments were not staged
In 1917 and 1918. The revival of COM
petitive sport by the New York A. G!
finds the Mercury Foot golfers more
ardent and enthusiastic than ever. There
are more than 500 golfers in the New
York A. c. and mighty few of them
will be missing at the tee of at Clifton.
The tentative programme calls for
three sixteens, but az many more as are
needed will be added. There will be
prizes for the winner and runner up of
each flight as we'll as for the winner
of the beaten eight. The qualification
is at eighteen holes of medal play. Two
medal play handicap rounds. one for
members so years or more OF age, will
be staged on opening day. A. II. Pegson,
&c. Mobiles and w. ]. Murphy compose
the New York A. c. committee which
is in charge of the tournament, and that

SWIMMERS BENEFIT
BY EASY TRAINING
Kruger Warns Against Toe
Strenuous Efforts in
Practice.

Harold Kruger of Honolulu, one OF
the greatest all round swimmers OF the
present day, made some interesting COM
ments on training during his recent visit
TO this city.
when I started competing" he said
top speed and engage in daily trials un-
der watch. The practice kept my nerves
constantly on edge II I made poor
time ] worried over my condition: il
good time. over my chances OF doing as
well or better the following day. So ]
fretted continuously and never seemed
able to show my best form when it came
to actual racing.
"T'hen I began to study the methods
or kahanamoku, Cunra and the other
home champions. aDd discovered that
they seldom swan at fast pace in train
ing and hardly ever indulged in time
trials. decided to try their system. II
did not take long to convince me 1t was
the right one. and have followed it ever
since to my complete satisfaction
There is valuable lesson for water
mon and merpaids in Kruger's expert
ence. Constant swimming at high speed
is not conducive to results Not only
does it make heavy demand on the vital
ity. keeping at low ebb the fund of en-
ergy, but it precludes the possibility OF
studying carefully ones stroke and i'm
proving it gradually.
Work at moderate pace. on the other
hand, develops the swimming muscles
puts in condition without strain and en-
ables one to pay close attention to every
movement and steadily perfect form
Then, when the time comes to engage in
contest, the swimmer who has hus-
banded resources in practice and learned
to MAINTAIN a correct stroke is able to
call on reserve energy II necessary and
enjoys the great advantage also OF re-
tanning good form throughout.
One OF the great secrets of success in
competition Is to train at easy gait over
middle distance stretches and make time
trials few and far between.
