 1T dislike to introduce MT. Grays name into this letter, but as MT. Barnes letter brings him into the lime light so prominently, there is no alternative. MT. Gray's whole manu- featuring experience is covered by 6 period of six years. He entered the employ of your company on October 1, 1923, on a three months try-out in charge of manufacturing operations. He had had no previous experience in the brass business. Mir. Gray came into the company at the solicitation and recommendation of Mir. Barnes. Mir. Gray had been employed but two and a half months when Mir. Barnes com mittee proposed to make him vice. president and general manager of all the companies activities, including financial, manufacturing, selling and accounting. MT. Gray has had no ex- perience in any of these lines as works manager and but two and a half months in making brass and no eX- perience so far as known in an oXecu- tive capacity. A report was to have been made to the board at the end of Mir. Gray's three months try-out to the end that the company might determine as to abvisability of con- tinuing his employment. Without waiting for information as to his pro- gress and at time that five of your directors had never even seen Mir. Gray, Mir. Barnes as he expressed it had a feeling that tho whole business and assets should be turned over 10 Mir. Gray.
 "The proposition was the more as- founding because Mir. Barnes was not qualified by manufacturing experience to make a selection of any kind and that three of his six supporters had never seen Mr. Gray and none Of his adherents had any way Of knowing Fhow well hc had performed in minor capacity. it would be analogous to l this situation for Mir. Barnes, having no experience in merchandising or in the making Of fire arms, 10 propose to dictate the activities of Brown, Thomson X Co.,, or The Colts Patent Fire Arms Co. in all Of their various branches on endeavor.
 "Of tho seven directors signing MT. Barnes request for proxies, but two live in Bristol and but one Of these had seen Mir. Gray. The other five live. one in New York. two in New Haven. one in New Britain and one in Hart ford. Six of the seven appear at direc- tors meetings once a month in n perfunctory way and are not in close touch with the companys affairs In Mir.

''Pruning' Committee Budget Al- loWances Reflect Many SlaShes

A budget providing a tax rate of o2 mills will be recommended to the board of finance and taxation tomor- row evening by the pruning" com mittee, which has pared down de- partmental estimates to a point that will make possible a rate of l.5 less than last year.
 The school department will be al- lowed ss00,950, which, with school bond interest of s6,215 and payments on bonds due in the amount of $I4,- O00, makes the total for this depart ment s1.051, ,165. The department will receive state grants estimated at S3S,- GOO, bringing the net amount to sl,- 0l5,165. This is one-half the amount to be raised by taxation for the en- tire city. Included in the school budget is an item of s2,500 for q woman physician.
 No action was taken on the pro- posed establishment Of service charge" in the water department. 1t was voted to recommend that a re- frigerating plant at the municipal abattoir, and new Belvidere fire sta- ton be paid out of bond money.

 "The board as a whole have had 8 problem so difficult that at times it seemed unsurmountable. The board was unusually harmonious, and were always unanimous as to measures of both policy and detail until within the past few months, and then suddenly matters of policy which Mir. Barnes and his present supporters had unani- mously supported. are now disap- proved by themselves, and they have decided that the fault, whatever it may be, is that of everyone except themselves.

FIRPO ISSUES

BUENOG AIRES. Jan. 1.-Pro-
voked by u story under the sigma
ture of Jack Dempsey, appearing i'll
newspaper here, in which the
champion said that Luis Firpo never
would be able to beat him, the
South American gave an irterview
to the United Press today i'll which
he told the "insidep of the fight
with the champion New York last
year.
Firpo made the rather surprising
st; ement that he was in such poor
condition when he was training for
the fight in Atlantic City that he
was almost knocked out several
, times by his sparring partners.
" Dempsey seems to forgCt,' Fir
po related in Il prepared statement,
"that two weeks before p.he fight
my condition was very weak and
| was convinced that | would lose.

eral times. Young Bob Fitzsim

training camp but they did not dare
publish them.
"After September 16, [ had an
endless row of admirers, which ]
considered the most precious asset
for a fighter. Regarding return
bout with Dempsey, it is my sincere
opinion hat neither Dempsey nor
myself is entitled to predict the
outcome. Dempsey's punch never
impressed or worried me. -
Firpo said he planned to leave
for the United States about Feb
ruary %.
The South American said al
though he had not yos signed a con
tract it was practically certain that
he would fight Erminio Spalla, the
European heavyweight champion,
here in February.

MRS. MALLORY TO
PLAY FOR NORWAY
In PARIS GAMES

NEW YORK, Jan. Barred from
a place on the American team by Il
technical rule of the international
Olympic committee Mrs. Molla Nal
l0ry, seven times American tennis
champion, has decided to play for
Norway in the Paris games next
summer.
Mrs. Mallory plans to sail on June
] for Norway, where she will start
training with the Norwegian team.
The American tennis star is bar
red from the American team by The
same rule which forced Hanres
Kohlemafnen to run and win the
marathon race in Antwerp for Fin
land. ..
The rule provides that once an
athlete has competed for one nation
he cannot compete later for an
other nation, even if he should have
become a citizen of that nation.
Mrs. Mallory. played with the
American tennis team in 1912 and
although she has become an .Amcri-
can citizen when she married Frank
Mallory, New York broker, the In
JernapIonal c0mmIttee would not sus-
pend the rules.
Competition in the Olympic games,
it was pointed out, is the goal thai
all athletes seek and Mrs. Mallory
did her best to throw her support
and her talent to her adopted cQun-
try.

DICK HOPPE TO
FIGHT HERE AT
LOCAL THEATER

After a lapse Of several years,
FL Centro fight fans are once more
going to have an opportunity to see
Fighting Dick Hoppe in actIon, as
the coast star has been signed up
by Ted Curry, local promoter, to
fight in this city on January 9, at
the Palace theatre.
Hoppc's opponent has not been
fully agreed upon as yet, though in
probability it will be Young Dig
gins, former amateur lightweight
champion of the Pacific coast, who
rates as a conner in pugilistic circles
from the Canadian border to San
Diego.
Fight fans used to flock to the
old Tulane theatre four and five
years ago to see Hoppe tackle an op-
ponent. At that time he was lust
STARTING in the game, and has since
built up an enviablc reputation as
one of the best men at his weight
in the game. He is now in FL Cen
tro, having come down here to visit
friends over the holidays, and when
his presence was made known to
Curry, the latter Immediately got
busy and sounded him out on the
fight proposition. Dick is greatly
pleased to have an opportunity to
show his many friends here how he
has improved since he left El Ccntro
and the contest will undoubtedly be
numbered among the best fights ever
seen here.
An all-star card is being signed up
for the occasion and Kid Williams,
valley Light heavyweight champion,
will possibly be another added attrac-
ton ON the card. Final plans for the
program will be announced later,
Curry stated today.

In Mud
BY United Press Leased Wire

PASADENA, Jan. 1.-Southern
California skies held threat of
clouds today, but there was sun
shine in the hearts of Coach Enoch
Bagshaw of the University of Wash
ington and his squad of huskies.
Here for the championship East
West football game with the An
hapolis mlddies, to be played this
afternoon in the Rose Bowl, the
Seattle stalwarts looked on the
prospect of wet weather with de-
light. The huskies are demons in
the mud
Nearly fifty thousand fans of the
grldiron were to be on hand to see
the game if it does not rain. That
many tickets have been sold with
only few thousand pasteboards
left to care for the lineup at the
gates.
The hardy ones will see a western
team that outweighs its opposing
eleven at least 10 pounds to the
man. A big and powerful organi-
zation is the University of Wash
ington football team.
Washington has sprung Il sur
prise with the announcement that
Captain Hall at end win be replac-
ed by Cole. Hall asked that he be
left on the sidelines. Cole is the
better man, Hall told Bagshaw.
Quarterback Sherman will be un-
able to start with the huskies
while Tresreau, fullback, ailing with
boils, is hardly expected to get into
the game at the start.
