WORCESTER TO INSTALL
 FREE PUBLIC TRAPS
By PETER P. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate

Editor National Sports Syndicate
 The city council of Worcester, Mass, the home of Jay Clark. Jr, the captain of the United States Trapshooting team to the Olympic games, has authorized the construction of two traps and concrete trap houses on the city rifle range and upon their construction these traps will be available for the people of Worces- ter. The traps will be open to the pub lie at all times so that any one who wishes to shoot at clay targets can do so.
 This is in line with public tennis courts, public golf links, public base ball diamonds, etc There was a time when there wasn't a public golf link in cities have well kept public links. There was a time when public tennis courts were few and far between. Now you will find tennis courts in almost every public park in the country. There was time when the city officials paid no attention to these details but nowadays with so many persons participating in outdoor activities the city fathers are keenly in- terested in seeing that those who pay the bill get some thing for their mon ey.
 There is a time coming when there will be bathing pools in every recrea- tion park in the country; there is a l time coming when there vii be recreation | parks in every city, and the time is com | ing, too, when every one of these bath | ing spots will be ice skating rinks 1T | the winter season. That is in the plac
 es where they have ice. They don
 know what ice skates look like in Texas l And one of these fine days, too, ther l will be public traps in the public park
 of the country so that the trapshooter can vie with the tennis players, golfers | ball players and others.

UNCLE SAMs FLAG IS
 ONE OF THE OLDEST
Special to The Bulletin.)

Special to The Bulletin)
 Hartford. June 3.-While the United States is the youngest among the great est in the world. It was adopted June II. TIT. The first flag so far as known of the New England Colonies, was that of Governor Andros in 1886. Next came the so-called union flags, throughout the colonies, and then in 1745 still another flag was used at the siege of Louis burg. The next flags of which q record is given are those of the Con- necticut troops which marched at the first Lexington alarm, and which served from thereto. They contained the Con- necticut arms, well known to us all as the three vines representing the three towns of Hartford, Wethersfield and Windsor and cur motto "Qui transtulit sustinet," "he who transplants sustains. '" The color of this flag varied with the colors of the particular division which | had it. as the same was fixed by the leg | islature.
 The next flag. and perhaps more i'm portant than any that preceded it. was i that of our great General Israel Putnam. | It was red in color and bore on one | side the motto of Connecticut and on the other a favorite motto in use in Massa- chusetts, An Appeal to Heaven The 1 Connecticut vines and motto were sug- gested by passage in the eighty-eigth Psalms of Land: Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou has cast out the heather and planted it." The motto is expressive of the belief that he who 1 brought one the vine will care for it.
 The color of the flag, red, has always been the color of defiance, the signal of

INTERCOLLEGIATE ROWING
 REGATTA DATE CHANGE

Ithaca. N. Y, June 3.-The intercolle- giate rowing regatta, which was sched- uled to have been held on the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie on July l, has been shifted to be held on Cayuga lake in Ithaca on Saturday, June 19, it was an nounced here today by Charles E. Ire man, Cornell member of the board of stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing association.
 The reason for the change is based largely on the refusal of the West Shore railroad to provide an observation train for the Poughkeepsie course and also be- cause the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania declined to permit it's crews to row as late as July 1.
 Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Syracuse will have varsity, junior varsi- ty and freshman crews in the regatta and the United States Naval academy has been invited to enter crews Owing to tho fact that the Cayuga lake course is a still water course instead of a tidal one, the races will be rowed over a two mile course instead of three miles as originally planned for the varsity race

Noting the article in The Bulletin of June 3rd regarding the ball game between the Melrose and Versailles teams played Monday. May 31st. Accordin gto said article. Melrose won the game by a to score. The official score being 10 to in the 10th inning favor of Yer sailles.

SOCIALIST RANK
SPLIT IN CHOICE
or CO1f1dISSIO NER

The first split in the Socialist
ranks Of the Davenport city coun-
Gil occurred at the special session
Of the city dads held Tuesday night.
The meeting which was hailed as
the Arst meeting at which the So
cialist majority was to voice its
unanimous disapproval Of corpora
ton autocracy by denying the ex-
tension of the seven-cent fare per-
iod granted the street car compaDy.
gave rise to acute internal dissen-
sion in the Socialist file.
And all over the appointment of
the building inspector!
The five Socialist aldermen voted
as one man for the appointment OF
John Goettsch, a carpenter. The
Republican minority Of three Just
as unitedly supported the appoint
ment OF John Flemming. an archi-
tect. But here's the rub. Mayor
c. L. Barewald will veto the ap-
pointment favored by the 5 to 8
vote for Coettsch, who, the execu-
tive says. is not sufficiently capable
What the result of the tie-up will
be is not even to be conjectured
for the appointment cannot be
gained over the veto Of the mayor
except by two-thirds vote. which
the solidarity Of the Republican
wing prevents.
