COMMUNICATED
"rolitiaaI f.xlrsIicncy." r New Britain Herald,

Editor New Britain Herald,
 City.
 Dear Sir.
 The writer with many others was pleased with the prominence Of article in last nicht's Herald regard ing office of Personal Tax Collector. As you failed to publish my com munication of the Gth l am pleased as well with the article as ] feel 1t was in reply to my letter. Further, l ask once moro the opportunity of your columns and trust you will agree with me that the commission allowed for this easy, simple position is altogether beyond proportion. This office should be handled by our City Tax Collector beyond any question. ar through his office with the assistance of extra clcrk--malc or female, and l should like to see the position rf personal tax collector filled by Il par tially disabled person, nx-soldier, ail- or, head of Il family, who has be- come partially disabled, or perhaps ' widow supporting a family, and why not? There are surely a number of persons in our city among thosc ,nen- toned above that could very nicely and easily fill this position, and is due such q person. Thanking you for your space and courtesy, l am very truly
 READER AND TAXPAYER.
 Your earlier communication raised a question which we considered made ! good news story of general interest, and we believed that the resume of the personal tax collectors duties, as printed, answered your question fully. The article was, in way, reply to your letter. It is not for the Herald to say what commissions the tax col lector is to get, but d matter for the people to decide A. combination of offices, which you suggest, in our opinion, might work toward economy. Y our desire to see the position filled by d ca pable person who might not be able to earn living otherwise is commcndable, but it might not be "political eXpediency' Political eN- pediency" is something which, after all, is controlled by voters not by newspaper.-(Ed.)

A BAD PRECEDENT

Tn the leading editorial in The Herald of Tuesday of this week, under the title "Ex- Service Men," it was stated that if the meeting of former service men planned for Tuesday night was to be an honest "get to- gether" meeting, to straighten out diff ferences between such men, good re- suits would follow. If there were any ulterior motive behind it, 1t was to be denounced.
 It was stated that no matters should beNbrought up relating to politics within the different service mems or xanizations. The Butterworth case was cited as an example.
 Apparently there were no service mems organization politics brought up. Captain Lockhart, who was one of the two to bring the injunction proceed ings against Frank Butterworth to re- train him from drawing a salary for administering the state fund, did not refer to that matter. The exact danger that was sought to be guarded against did not materialize.
 But something else did materialize. The candidacy of former mayor Quig- ley for the nomination for the mayor alty was endorsed.
 I nf m occasion of the gathering of ex-service men would be taken advantage of for political purposes outside the affairs of service men. The action taken was more dangerous than anything against which the editorial warned.
 The Herald did not dream that it was encouraging eX-service men to at tend a meeting which would develop into an occasion for the promoting of the candidacy of former Mayor Quig- ley for the nomination for mayor or for the promoting of the candidacy of Mayor Curtis, Joseph Halloran or of anyone else.
 The political gathering was held af- ter former Mayor Quigley and Captain Lockhart had left the room, is the report. Both may have been entirely ignorant of the intention of others to suggest that the candidacy of Mir. Quigley be endorsed. The action may have been entirely spontaneous.
 If Mir. Quigley was surprised by the action taken: if he or his friends had nothing to do with the action taken, and did not countenance any plan to thus subvert the published purpose of the meeting, he would not lose friends by making public that fact.
 If Mir. Quigley or his friends did know of the plan or did instigate the plan, directly or indirectly, the affair comes under the sentence in the edi- torial referred to which stated the such ulterior motive should be de- nounced.

Topeka, kas, Feb. Western and central Kansas, the heart of the statss wheat belt. today faced con- tinuation of severe dust and wind storms which yesterday swept across a wide strip of territory and actually blew wheat out of the ground.

Mike Feketc, unattached. finished
SECOND nearly two laps behind the VIM
ner, and the gray-haired veteran Dick
Remer, of the American Walkers AS
socia.ion, was third. 20 yards back of
Fekete. 1t was Remer's first race in
more than two years. Plant was timed
at each mile post as follows: 1880.
1918, 23:I8; S1:17, 1928, 47.45 and
55.43.
The ten-mile run championship,
which was decided in conjunction with
the walk, resulted in another victory
for Ilnlar Prim, the Finnish-American
star, who holds the met crosscountry
title and the junior national five-mile
crown. Prim raced his field into the
ground in the last fve miles and
flashed across the finish line 100 yards
ahead of Frank Zuna, former American
marathon champion and record holder.
Frank Titterton, of the Glencoe A. c.,
was third, inches behind Zuna. The
time was 57:27.
A small but choice field started in the
run, with Jack Phillips, OF the Paulist
A. c., showing the way over the frst
mile. Prim then shot into the lead,
closely followed by Zuna and Titterton,
in that order. At two miles Prim was
fifty yeards ahead of Zuna, and it was
apparent that the Finn would win un
less he faltered.
The struggle for second honors was
close one. Zuna alternated the pace
with Titterton, neither being able to
pull away from the other until the last
lap, when Zuna barely managed to
stave off the final sprint of his rival.
A one-mile handicap race, which
completed the card, was won by Frank
Waldron overhauled the Jerseyite when
started from the sixty-fve-yard mark.
Francis Pope, of the Jersey Harriers,
led in the sprint to the finish. but
Waldrom overhauled the Jrseyite when
within few feet of the line and just
got up to take first prize. Bill Farley,
also of the Loughlin Lyceum, got shird
place.

Conference Teams
Show Strength in
Opening Contests

CHICAGO, Oct. 3 (By the As
sociated Press).--Unusual offensive
strength was the outstanding develop
ment of Saturdays games in which
nine Western Conference teams opened
the season by rolling up 224 points
against non-conference contenders.
Observers consider the 2V to 0 score
which Chicago piled up over the heavy
Georgia team as the most significant
straw in the championship wind, as the
Bull Dogs rank among the best teams
of the South.
Stages Maroons had everything a
good team should have yesterday. His
backs showed driving power, his line
was tight and capable of opening holes
and his primary and secondary de-
fense was proof against Georgia's
plunges and famous passing game.
Iowa made the biggest score of the
day, rolling up 6t points against Knox
College. This indicates that Coach
Howard Jones did not lose the ability
to develop dangerous teams when he
lost Slater, the Devines and Belding,
and it also indicates that Brother Tad
at Yale will have his hands full next
Saturday, when Howard takes his team
east. This game should be important,
as Yale has never met representative
Conference team and Iowa never has
played in an important inter-sectional
game.
The two mild surprises were Ohio's
weak showing and Indiana's failure
to score against De Pauw. Last season
Ohio. after losing the opening game,
came back strong, so that yesterdays
5 to score against Ohio Wesleyan
does not mean that Wilce's team will
not be factor in the percentage col
umn. Indiana showed unexpected
weakness, but Coach Heron feels Min
nesota will be give ma great battle at
Minneapolis next Saturday.
The Northern teams played true to
form, Michigan downing Case AZ to O.
Minnesota defeated North Dakota, %
to 8, and Wisconsin ran up Al points on
Carleton.
Northwestern made the most en-
couraging showing purple team has
displayed in recent years by beating
the heavy Beioit eleven II to 0. Pur-
dues showing was considered only fair,
although the 10 TO 0 score against
James Millikin was due partly to the
fact that substitutes were used in the
second half Of the game.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-09

came out IN sun and rain to follow the
fortunes of war. Groh and Frisch es-
pecially rose to staggering heights Of
worlds series fame. Both batted over
.47o, and both by their almost un-
earthly defensive skill held the hostile
assault at bay from start to finish. No
worlds series has ever presented any
two greater stars These two alone
were enough to beat an average ball
club with any touch of luck. For the
Yankees there was no Jewel left in the
toad's herd of defeat. There is no
need of further comment here.
So McGraw adds his third worlds
series crown to his eight pennants--the
greatest double showing any manager
has ever made.
And the nlaneuvers Of his ball club
throughout were all the evidence
needed to show that he still has no
superior as marshal of the playing
field.

Paterson Defeats
Harrison, 3 to 1,
In Soccer Contest

The Paterson Football Club, which
has taken over most of the champion
team of Robins Dry Dock of last year,
came to grips with the Harrison Foot
ball Club in the first round of the
American Soccer League series at
Hyatt Field, Harrison, NJ j., yesterday
and won by the score of goals to /.
to 1.
The game was virtually decided in
favor of Paterson III the first period,
at the end of which the Silk City men
led by 2 to 0. Later this advantage
was increased to to 0 before the
home team was able to score.
Hord, from corner kick by Duggan
on the right, scored after seven min
utes of play. Another corner from the
same end enabled Sweeney to place
Paterson up. Early in the second
half Duggan beat three men to the net
and the score stood at 3 to o. Ten
minutas later McCartin, by good in
dividual effort, scored for Harrison.
