SLOW TRAIN BOOK
 SALE PROHIBITED

Little Rock, Feb. 20-Until the Arkansas Advancement Association began a systematic fight to overcome a diverse propaganda, no attention was given by any one to matters of this kind, and in one school of the state, if not in more, there were copies of "A Slow Train Through Arkansaw" and Three Years in Arkansaw.' A teacher in one of the public schools of a leading Arkansas city informed the Arkansas Advancement Association that these books were found in the school library. They have now per formed a real service to humanity, giving forth heat units in the school furnace during recent cold spell.
 The Missouri Pacific railroad has come to the front so far as these books are concerned. An official of this road recently discovered one of the books being sold by a news agent on a through train. He immediately communicated with high officials of the railroad, after purchasing copy to be used as evidence, and now there has been a general order issued pro- hibiting the sale of any book that re- fleets the state of Arkansas or her citizens.

PENSION FOR M'vEY
Old Time Player Remembered By
 National League.

San Francisco, June 10.-Cal A. McVey halted in his rounds last night as watchman for a San Francisco lun Der company to answer the telephone.
 This you Cal?" queried the voice of sporting editor. friend of the vet eran baseball player, whose record as a member of the old Cincinnati Reds antedates the memory of most of to- days followers of the game.
 The National League voted you a monthly pension today Cal" the voice queried. What do you think of that?"
 It was welcome news to the old timer. Jobs have been more and more infrequent and difficult to hold since his retirement from baseball In 1880. Rheumatism and other ills of ad- vanced aged, have meant weeks in the hospital of recent years. Cal Is 72 years old. His funds have been low. The idea of benefit for the veteran had been suggested and abandoned for the name "Cal McVey" carries little significance to She bulk of 1922 fans.
 It was a grand name back in the 7o's and sos when it was linked with those of Al G. spaulding, Jim White and Ross Barnes. Cal was one of that big four on the Chicago White Stockings when the first of the big leaguers was in formation.

SPEAKER SICK
Confined to Bed With Attack of Bron- chitis-Unable to Attend Funeral of His Best Friend.

Cleveland, June 10.-Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, is one of the saddest men in the coun- try today. Confined to his bed in a local hotel with bronchitis, which for a time threatened to develop into pneumonia Speaker is dovncast be- cause he is unable to attend the funeral of his best friend, James c. Dunn, president of the club in Mar shalltown, Iowa, tomorrow.
 Jim" Dunn was a pattern of base ball magnate that exemplifies all that manager wants in the owner he works for," was the tribute paid by Speaker. He has given me every cooperation in the way of getting players. He never complained when we lost He always seemed to think that the players and not himself should be sympathized with. We can't win 'em all,' were his cheering words"
 Plans are under way to raise fund for memorial to MT. Dunn It probably will be erected at Dunn field. the home of the Cleveland team.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 LOSES TO MERIDEN
Local Baseball Nine Throws Away \ Perfectly Good Game Through
 Wrankling

The local High school team went down to defeat before the Meriden High school baseball nine yesterday afternoon at Walnut Hill Park in the last scheduled game of the present season. The local team started off in whirlwind fashion and seemed sure of the game until they blew up and like the proverbial wild balloon, fail ed to come down. Costly errors. coupled with the wrangling between the players 'on the field were the causes of their downfall.
 Williams, the local twirler, who started on the mound. pitched good ball until his team went up the chute. He was then retired in place of Gray, who found himself in the same fix as his predecessor. The Meriden twirler, Tony Barcovich. turned in a neat game, the runs be- ing scored. not off his delivery, but through the misplays of his team mates.
 In contrast with the local team, the Meriden nine instead of upbraiding the luckless one who committed the mispiays, coached him along, gritted their teeth and won what should have been New Britain's ball game. De- spite the cautioning of Coach Cas- sidy, the locals continued to crab one another, and in so doing, they for got that they were playing ball and in consequence of it, they booted many easy hits that should have gone for outs.

The University of California, Leland stAn- ford. Occidental, Washington, VAn- derbilt, Centre. Mississippi and Texat university have also signifed their in- tention of competing, Major Grifhth announced. Gst i
 Last year the N. c. A. A. staged the first annual national collegiate meet in stagg field with 64 teams repreaented and established itself as a gathering place each year to determine the nA- tional championship track team and also the national champions in each eevnt. The University of Illinois, with its well balanced track aggrega- tion, won last years meet and has It's eye on a second championship this season, although the competition with the expected increased number of entries will be much lNener.
 Five Hundred Invitations Sent.
 The fact that 500 invitations and entry blanks were sent has sisnih- canoe, for all other meets in the country are closed affairs with the exception of relay carnivals. For ex- ample, the I. c. A. A. A. A. is open only to its members; conferences hold meets for their members. It is growing feeling. in fact, on the part of the members of the Big Ten and other conferences that only its mem bers should be allowed to compete. There are fifteen or twenty outstand- ing conferences in the country at tho present time, and the N. c. A. A. track and field meet is the only one coming after these are completed.
 By the date of this years meet team championships and individua champions in the various states and sections will have been determined, and the national meet provides meeting place of the title holders to compete for national supremacy.
 No satisfactory scheme has been worked to determine national cham pions in football. baseball and basket ball. but In this meet the National Collegiate Athletic association has provided a meeting place for the na- tion's best in the most centrally To- cated place for track meet, Chicago.
 With the University of California. Leland Stanford and in the University of Illinois represented along with other crack teams in the nation. the meet this year should establish many and perhaps worlds records, the track on stagg held being one of the fastest in the country.

Selleck, Former Yale Pitching
 Ace, to Oppose Locals
TOMORROW'S LINEUP

Mccormick or Crcan. p :. p, Sclleck One of the best baseball attractions booked in this city in many months, has been secured by Manager Frank J. McConn of the Kaceys, in bringing of the Winsted team here tomorrow afternoon. Tn stacking Up against the visitors, the locals will have to use every bit of baseball ability they possess if a victory is to be won. The game will be played on the St. Mary's s diamond and play ball" will be shouted by Umpire Eddie Crowley at 3 o'clock.
 Yale Star on Mound
 Word from Winsted has been re- ceived that the management will use Selleck on the firing line. This boy worked for Yale two years ago. and was classed as among the best the Blue turned out in the pitching line for several years. He won his games over Harvard and Princeton. This season. selleck has been showing plen- ty of form on the mound and has not suffered a defeat to date.
 Torrington Boys in Lineup
 Rubino and the Conklin brothers were for several seasons thebulwarks of strength on the old Torrington team. They are playing snappy brand of the national pastlme this season. The Winsted fans think pret- ty we'll of the work of Adams behind the bat, and should be interesting to seejust how he classes with Mickey Noonan, the local star.
 Budnick With Locals
 Manager McConn has secured the services of Budnick, the former Fafnir star to cover the pasture in right field. Dog" has been known in the past for proficiency with the willow, and his clubbing should be big asset to the Kaceys. A change has ben made in the batting order, Jimmy Green, whose work has been sensational since the beginning of the season, has been moved up into second place. McCor- mick who worked for part time last will undoubtedly draw the pitching assignment for the opening innings. Gerry Crean. the regular hurler, has recovered his form. and is now in readiness to take his turn again on the mound.
