from various sections Of the state CLASH
al the tournament.
Change interfering
Considerable interest is being mani
tested IN the change which has boen In
PRODUCED in the handling Of the tourna-
mcut. The biggest snag yet met by
the tournament management has been
the request on the part Of SO many OF
the smaller high school flves 10 BE-
placed in Division Il. Likewise q great
number OF the larger flves are very anx-.
ious to battle In the Class a division.
Teams are virtually seeking their
proper positions from their own e1per-
fence during the playing season. How.
ever the tournament management has
no voice In this matter. The selection
Of the 80 teams for Division A games
and of the 81 teams who will compete
in the b division is left entirely to me
twenty-five men who represent PRAGUE
ally every section in the state, and who
arc in position ITO know the strength
and possibilities of the various teams In
their immediate sections. The plan 10
hailed as the most forward step yet
taken In settling the state champion
ship question. and sport writer's, coaches
and players have not hcsitated In plac-
ing their stamps Of approval on the
plan.
The entrance Of Huntington high
schools five for the first time In tho
tourney. and the re-entering OF Blue
field High arc interesting Developments
ut the last minute showing the interest
awakening in the southern part OF the
state largely because Of the new Sys-
ten. With the old endurance grind re-
duced to the minimum. the best basket
ball team Will be undisputably winners
in either division.
Tickets Selling
Tickets are selling rapidly for the all
state event, the director having already
cen called upon In two instances FOR
more tickets In two out Of town poirits.
Mail orders are being filled promptly,
and are numerous. Reservations Tor
rooms and entertainment have been re-
questcd In large numbers. To take caro-
Of this. Assistant Director Harold Cut
right has been designated and all re-
quests for advance reservations should
be made direct to him, at Buckhanron.
Arrangements are being made with
the baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
and the inter-urban traction lines, 80
that the largo numbers OF visitors can
he accommodated with the very best
train service. Full announcement OF
this service will be made IN the next
, few days. Every indication points out
that the 1922 tournament 10 to be the
biggest in tho states history and the
tournament management Is leaving no
stone unturned to properly cope with
every situation and to provide every
facility for the convenience Of the COM
| peting teams and spectators.

FUNERAL SERVICES
 FOR BOWERY ANGEL
"Chinatown Gcrtie'', Followed by Throng, is Laid at Rest in Brook
 lyn Cemetery.

New York, April 13.-All that was mortal of Gertrude Merritt known as "Chinatown Gertie," was laid at rest today in the Linden Hill cemetery, Brooklyn. For years an outcast In the streets and alleys of the Bowery, she became, almost in single night, ministering angel to the suffering, and an interceder for the errlng.
 Funeral services were held last night in the little chapel of the mid night mission of the Rescue society ip Dover street, the heart of Chinatown. A score of speakers told stories Of Chinatown Gertie." They had known her when she was pariah and most of them had been led to better things by the woman whose flower covered coffin stood before the little pulpit.
 Tourists who had gone to see Chinatown tried to get into the chapel but those who did not show a real sense of propriety were cast into the street, and policeman, standing near, was always looking the other way when this occurred.
 It was a strange funeral to many Of the strangers who witnessed it. But it was a shining, loving, remembering throng that attended. It was little fragment out of the kaleidoscopic life of mighty city and it was all that Gertie would have wished.

 NEW BRITAIN ROTARY
(Continued from First Page)

l club getting behind the movement l Transportation to and from the | Fresh Air camp at Burlington was ! provided and sl69,O0 was donated by the members for the Fresh Air camp, S20,50 was contributed by Rotarians toward expenses of the Junior Achievement team at the Eastern cx- position,
 A safety first committee was ap- pointed for Safety First week. The Rotary club took the initiative in the spreading Of this propaganda in New Britain,
 At our meeting Oct, IS, 1921, we had as our guests the members of the class to be made citizens, each Rotarian paying for the luncheon of his guest,
 A list of the boys who were about to leave school were given the Rotary club on December Sth. These were followed up and where possible, the boy in question was induced to con tinue in school,
 For Christmas the Welfare associa- ton supplied the club with list of families in need. Each Rotarian was assigned q family and every family was given a good Christmas dinner and many things for which there was a special need. There were 51 fami- lies thus taken care of.
 In both the United Community Corp. drives, the Rotary club was rep resented by teams. Individual Ro- tarians also worked on other teams and backed the drives to the limit, not only with personal work, but by individual donations. From the club funds, $50 was donated for 1921 drive and like amount for 1922.
 A list of the committees serving for the year and for special work is ap- pended to this report and will be read if you so desire.
 As shown in the above list of acti- vities, the club has not taken any one project under it's wing, but has spread its efforts over a number of important lines of endeavor. The year has been one spent almost entirely in the for nation of a good strong club; club from which the community can cX- pect much in the future. New friend- ships have been made and old ones strengthened through the spirit of Rotary. The imaginary barriers of reserve and the like which character ized our first few meetings, has been broken down.
 The club is in splendid shape and ready to undertake the many prob- lens which will confront it during this next year.
 Respectfully submitted,

 Secretary.

BARDO ASKS POLL
 OF ROAD CLERKS
New Haven Road Wants to Know Their Stand on Working
 Agreements.

New Haven, April 13.-A quick pol of the 6000 clerks on the N. r., N H. and H. R. R. system was ordered by General Manager c. l.. Bardo to- day on the question of acceptance oi rejection of various working agree rents-no Saturday afternoons off no pay for holidays, exclusion of cer. tain clerical offices from the effect oi the clerical working rules suggested by the United States railway labor board and means of handling griev- ances The balloting has nothing tc do with the wage schedule as this latter is now being argued before the board in Chicago.
 With the ballot is a letter from MT Bardo explanatory of the various items on which a ives" or mo" an- swer is required. This letter says the management believes the changes which have been made "are not only eminently fair but if accepted will result in a closer cooperation be- tween the officers and employees, bet ter service to the public improved morale and better general feeling all around"
 The new schedules which were an- nounced sometime ago and which eliminate many of the conditions which the clerks had enjoyed, such as Saturday half holidays, vacations with pay, double pay for overtime, etc, are based, Mir. Bardos letter states, on basic weekly assignment of AS hours. Under certain conditions the management may give clerks some conditions that have previously had but these would not be given as a fixed policy.
