sive people of any group in Liberia, ac-
cording to DIR. Reed.
1t was from this tribe that Miss Di-
ana Mcneil sprung. Miss Mcneil was
adopted by a Methodist missionary to
Liberia twenty-five years ago. Bishop
William Taylor, the famous missionary
bishop of the denomination, brought
her to this country at the age of four
and presented her to the General Con-
ference of 1896, declaring "There are
no heather children save by environ
ment and circumstance" saying now
a classic in missionary circles the
world over. Miss Mcneil became a
prodigy in this country, attending high
school in st. Louis and Kansas City,
later graduating with highest honors
from the University of Southern Cali
fornia. She Joined the faculty of Phil
ander Smith College, Arkansas, and
went back to Liberia as a member of
the faculty of the College of West Af-
rica. But the climate of her native
land was too much for her health, and
she returned to this country, where she
is still prominent in educational cir
cles. :
The Reverend DIR. Reed expects to
retire from active educational work
and will enter the pastorate in some
section where Methodism is exerting
itself for the welfare of the Negro
race.

THE Reverend John Hamilton
Reed, DID, formerly Assistant
Consul General for the United
States in Liberia, and for ten years
President of the College of West At
rica, Monrovia, returned with Mrs.
Reed to this country after residence
of eighteen years in the Negro Repub-
lie. DIR. and Mrs. Reed went to Libe-
ria in 1905 as missionaries under the
Board of Foreign Missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and
have continued their service in
this capacity throughout their So
journ there. At different times
Dr. Reed served as District Su-
perintendent of the Monrovia District
Editor of the Liberian Methodist, the
mission publication, President of the
College of West Africa, Vice Consul
General for the United States, and has
been ministerial delegate to the Gen
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, meeting in this country
every four years. DR.. Reed represent
ed Liberian Methodists in 1912, 1916
and 1920. In his educational work in
Liberia, Mrs. Reed assisted him by car
ing for the education of female stu
dents and the general promotion of fe-
male education in the republic.
The tribes of native folk in the him
terland of Liberia are exceptionally
fine types both physically and mental
ly, according to DIR. Reed, who has
lived among them. The Mandingo and
Val people of the interior are magnifi-
cent types of manhood and woman
hood, and need only occidental educa-
ton to bring them to Il high level of
civilization. The Vais have had an al
phabet and written language of their
own since before the coming of Arab
or white man. They are mostly Mo
hammedans. The Kru tribes on the
coast south of Monrovia are also fine
specimens and are the most earnest
seekers after education of any group,
owing to the long efforts of the Rev
erend Walter b. Williams, Liberals
Little Giant" who has built a large
community of Christians there. There
are more Kru students in the schools
of the country than of any other tribe.

There were about % candidates for

BLUE LAW SUNDAY WOULD
HIT FOOTBALL FANS HARD
New Britain Would Feel II Worse In
Fall Than in tho Spring and
Summer Months

While enforcement of state
statute prohibiting Sunday sports
would not hit New Britain as hard, in
the summer, as it would New Haven,
Waterbury, Bridgeport and other
cities where there is a regular SUM-
day schedule, nevertheless there is a
sizeable element here that would feel
keenly disappointed.
II the Corbin team should connect
for any home games on Sunday, or
out Of town games either for that
would have to be crossed right off the
schedule. The same thing would APP
ply to any other team that may be
organized here and the enforcement
OF this law would mean the end of
Sunday games at st. Mary's field.
But it is in the fall that New Brit
ain would feel it most for it would ap-
ply to football games as well as base
ball. New Britain, with always one
OF the fastest if not the fastest eleven
in two states, plays a large number of
home games and invariably draws
down a big gate. To stop this would
be quite blow at sports here.
And, should House Leader Buck
ley's plan go through, IL would be use
less to expect the local authorities to
wink their eye at enforcing the law
just because they thought there was
no serious local objection. The local
authorities would have nothing to say
about 1t. 1t would be not only the
right, but also the duty of the states
attorney to stop it. And, stories from
Hartford indicate, there is no ques-a
ton but what it will be enforced if
the legislature so wills.

TRIPLE PLAY IN PRACTICE
BY CORBIN'S BALL TOSSERS
Manufacturers Have Tryout And Both
Teams Show Up Wcll-Plcnty
of Material Out.

The Corbin team, which hopes to
round out into one of the fastest
semi pro teams in this neck o. the
woods, went through couple of
hours of snappy practice at Walnut
Hill park Saturday and what they
showed pleased not only themselves.
but also Manager Tobin. There were
|22 candidates out and some fielding
and batting practice preceded game
between teams picked from these.
While the pitchers made no attempt
to throw any curves the rest of the
players did their best and some good
fielding and hitting resulted.
One feature of the practice game
was a triple play. B. Fitzpatrick hit
a scorching line drive which was
caught by AL Blanchard. who stepped
on the bag and then shot the ball over
to Wojak on third for the three outs
the bases having been filed.
The first team lined up with Jimmy
Clinton behind the bat and Tommy
Blanchard tossing them up. AL
Blanchard held down first and the
second sacker was Fields, while Bar
rett, former Simsbury played, COW
cred the short field and Wojak held
down third. Snyder, Corbin and
Huber were in the outer gardens. The
other team had Kupec back of the bat
and Jerry Griffen lobbing them over.
The initial bag was guarded by Par
sons, second by Patrus, short by B.
with Budnick on third.
The outer garden was in the custody
of G.. Kupec, Joe Jackson and Ross.
All the candidates size up very well
and a number of them are veterans
of other seasons. among them being
Jackson, who played on last years
team. Being good catcher, a fair
infielder and sure outfieder, as well
as being a capable man with the will
low. he appears to be one OF the most
men on Tobin's string.
Tomorrow night the team will have
another indoor practice at the Boys
club gym,
