HIGH SCHOOL TRACK
 TEAM IN GOOD FORM
Local Boys Forced to Train on Im- proVised Field at Glen St. Dump

Postmaster William F, Delaney has been busy getting the track team of l the local high school into shape, The first workouts were held indoors on March lS and since then, the candi- dates have been out l5 times alto Eethor and of that 10, there have been seven outdoor workouts.
 Despite the difficulties encountered by the athletes in finding a suitable place in which to train outdoors, the boys have been hustling and have converted the Glen street dump into q hand me down training held and have marked out a track, a jumping pit and quarter mile run
 30 Boys Out
 About 50 candidates have been go- ing through the paces and there is q great deal of rivalry between them to sec who will land the places on the teams The graduation of nine of last years team, including seven Of the chief point gotters, has left the re- mainder of the squad sort of helpless. The new material, however with those who showed much promise las, season, gives promise of developing championship team before the year is over.
 Point Gettcrs Gone
 Of the nine who left last June, the best 100 yard man, 220 yard man, quarter miller and half miller will be the ones who will be missed the most Coach Delaney expects to fill their pl hnu ness with which the boys look for ward to the opening of the season, he expects that his squad will show great form.
 The candidates weather permitting, are working faithfully every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Their con- dition, because of the early start they had this year is the best that any team has been in in years at this time of year
 Season Opens May
 The season will open with Nauga- tuck on May g. and the local boys expect hard tussle with the Valley lads. Negotiations are also under way to enter the local team into the Trinity and Yale inter scholastic | games and to arrange a triangular meet between New Haven, Hartford and this city. The last meet of the season so far is scheduled for June 3, when the local boys will travel to to take on the team there. |
 As the track season comes rolling | around, the need of a decent field is seen more and more every day The difficulties the boys are undergoing trying to train in the Glen street dump are too numerous to mention.
 Difficulties At Dump
 Sand pits for jumping have been | dug on the flats and every day, some body unconsciously pick out these very

Chicago, April ls-A tall stiff collar may have had more to do with the winning Of the British open golf championship by Jock Hutchinson than did the ribbed clubs the Chicago pro used before they were barred by the royal and ancient golf club of st. Andrews.

No Meets Here

Reports from all over the state say that some wonderful athletic meets have been held in the various cities, and most of them have been held on a field furnished by the city. New Britain, however, is not fortunate enough to have a municipal field with track, hence no meets are held here. It surely wouldn't be proper 10 invite the famous athletes of the present day to run and jump in the Glen street dump, but that is the only place available at the present time and will be until the South End park is fixed up.
 The high school track team gre unable to accept many challenges be- cause there is no place in which they can hold their meets. The industrial meets such as were held in Hartford recently are impossible here for the same reason, and. because of that, the people of New Britain are denied the pleasure of seeing some of the best athletes of the day because there Is no athletic field in the city.
 Park Ideal Place
 The South End Park is an ideal place for a track which will fill the needs of the athletes of this city. The land there is level and with the pro- per track and jumping pits, it is sure to became the mecca Of all sport low CTS. All sorts of athletic meets could be conducted in the city at a place convenient for all, and who knows hut that in time, New Britain will once a gain take it's place among the fore most in the field of athletics

CONFERENCE
HANDLING MANY QUESTIONS

HANDLING MANY QUESTIONS
Washington, JAM 26.-Threats of
trump conventions" to frame resolu-
tions of an insurgent and pro-bloc
type were heard today above the
noise of battle in the committees of
the National Agricultural Conference
when dissatisfied elements came for
ward with proposals opposing those
made by leaders Of the convention.
The question whether Independent
meetings will follow the conference
depends upon the action taken
Friday on proposals for the
revival of Government functions
similar to those of the United States
Grain Corporation, that have power
to fix minimum prices and take over
the farmers surplus.
Already a call for another confer
ence has gone out from the Farmers
National Council, whose officers fire.
quently appear before Congressional
committees but has furnished little
tangible evidence of substantial mem
bership. The Farmers National COun-
ell was not invited to the present
session, SO, on Friday it will hold one
of it's own, at which members of the
agricultural bloc are to speak before
a gathering of real dirt" farmers.

MUST MEET MUSCLE
SHOALS DEFICIT

A bulletin by the National Ferti-
lizer Association, dealing with the
proposal to make "cheap fertilizer"
at Muscle Shoals, says that while
the average wholesale price of sui
phate of ammnoia during 1921 was
$48.00 per ton, the cost to prdouce
sulphate of ammonia at Muscle
Shoals would be $68.0O per ton.
The cost of making sulphate at
Muscle Shoals is based upon the or
iginal estimate of the War Depart
ment, corrected to conform to q sub
sequent War Department estimate
of the cost of power from the Mus
Gle Shoals dam. There are added,
of course, the necessary overhead
items, except taxes.
Sulphate of ammonia must neces-
sarily be the principal product man
ufactured at Muscle Shoals, accord
ing to War Department experts. The
difference of $1,000 between the
manufacturing cost of $68.OO per
ton, and the wholesale pruice of
$4S.0O per ton, probably has a great
deal to do with the fact that the
proposal which Mr. Ford made to
the government for acquisition of
this vast water power development
and other property, involves a sub
sidy of $9s4,935,0OO of taxpayers :
money, extending over a period of
one hundred years.

We hear some of the residents of this
community complaining about the home mer-
chants charging such tremendous prices for
their merchandise This we doubt very
much, they charge but a living profit, and
this they are justly entitled to.
You complairers, that send to mail order
houses, that pay cash in advance, that wait
for ten days two weeks for your goods,
that keep the article even if it is not just
right, that would tell every person they meet,
if a home merchant had sold you the bride
Don't you think your home merchant
would be only too glad to sell his wares at
smaller profit, if you dealt with him
der the same conditions that you have to
with out-of-town houses. The home mer-
chant would not have to carry large stock
of goods On his shelves, he would always get
his money in advance.
Why don't you play the game fair? Don't
go into your home saddlery ask price
a set of harness, to be made of the best ma
terial. certain weight, to fit large team
of horses. The home merchant gives you a
price, will say s55. You tell him that
you will order them little later. He thinks
you will order them. So you do but not
from him. You order from a mail order
house The harness arrives for your fine
large team, you try it on, it is too small
In every way, much lighter in weight diff
ferent in every way from the description you
gave when you got the price from your home
merchant You make yourself think you
pleased, you drive your fine large team down
the street looking like 16 year old boy
wearing his IL year old brothers trousers,
or in other words like 80 cents worth of
last years cabbage The money was yours,
you had right to spend it, you liked
providing you did not your home sad

overtime TILT TO GENESEO. p TO rs
IN BY jim DUNN OF CLEVELAND1S
INDIANS BUT 1T PAYS RAILROADS
By NORMAN E. BROWN.

If Sunny Jim" Dunn, president
and principal owner of the Cleve-
! land Indians, ever sewers his con-
nection with that club the passen-
ger receipts of the New York Cen
trail line for the Cleyeland-C Chicago
division are going to suffer an aw-
| full slump. The general agents
going to call in the ticket sellers
and say, How Gomez" And then
one sad-faced ticket sellers going
to say, Jim Dunn's sold the In
dams"
For James c. Dunn makes base
ball his hobby and not his business.
His business interests center in Chi
cago. The teams in Cleveland. So
to avoid sighting either business
or fun, Jim spends many night
aboard a Pullman going from bus
mess to pleasure or visa versa.
Dunn was born in Marshall coun-
ty, Iowa, Sept II, 1866. He began
his business career as a messenger
boy in the First National bank of
Marshailt6wn. Then he graduated
into the position of bookeeper with
an oil company. Next he decided to
add up his own profits and losses
and went into the contracting bus
mess. He is now the senior mem
Der of the firm of Dunn-McCarth
Co., builders of railroads.
Dunn became acquainted with
Cleveland IA years ago while super
vising a big contract in that city.
Several years later when he heard
that the town was on the rocks,
baseballically speaking, he couldn't
imagine such thing. And when
Charley Somers was advised by a
bankers committee to sell his CIeve-
land Baseball club holdings Dunn
jumped at the chance to buy the
club. His associates are mainly his
partners in the contracting business
who wanted a hobby, too. And you'll
usually find a half dozen of them
around at an Indian game every
time the team gets within a nights
ride of Chi.
Jim had tried other hobbies. He
was a member of the Iowa National
Guard for years and was a ser
geant when mustered out Then he
tried politics, being nominated for
several offices.
Down around MaTshalltown,
