 Yes, We Are Not Home
 Neither Chaplin nor his bride could be interviewed last night, re- porters being met at the Chaplin front gate with "Yes, we are not at home," from a Japanese servant.
 The same servant made the same speech to Mrs, spicer when she and her father. W. E, Curry, hurried to the Chaplin home after interviewers had fouHd them and imparted the news,
 Curry said
 Don't get the impression that Charlie and Alta were putting any thing over on the family when she gave her age incorrectly.
 "We noticed 1t as soon as we saw the notice of intention to marry, which was posted several weeks ago, according to Mexican requirements.
 We consulted a Mexican attorney here. who told us the marriage would be illegal it the age were in- correctly stated, so we started down to Guayamas 10 have 1t changed, but found when we got there that the marriage was legal any way"
 What's The Difference
 Mrs. spicer asked:
 What difference does 1t make if my daughters age was not correct ly given? The public has been given 10 understand that she is a girl of 13 through motion picture publicity. and 1t was thought best to leave 1t that way for that reason. Why should the public worry about her personal affairs, anyway? She and Charlie are very happily married after very romantic affair. There were business reasons for secrecy, that Is all"

The All-New Britain football team should consist entirely of New Britain boys, in order that the game might be better patronized. according 10 Attorney David L. Dunn, coach of the local team and former Yale star In an address to the members of the Lions club at the Burritt hotel at noon today.
 Attorney Dunn was introduced to the club by Vice President P. F. King, who stated that 1t adds to the life of the town to have something in the way of clean sports going on all the time.
 Attorney Dunn In opening his talk stated that New Britain as a sports city is a wonderful city as long as 1t has a winning team. but that losing team means a financial loss. This years team, he said, has lost money.
 He said 1t has been recommended that the All.New Britain team be made all New Britain in personnel. Maybe the people of New Britain will forgive them if they don't go out and win every game-and they may so out and see our own boys play"
 He said former college football stars are not 50 satisfactory as local boys on team. They don't take the same local interest and their only ambition is to get a days pay out of it, He said local players would be sure to be at practice and on the field every time the whistle blows. He said he felt sure New Britain could have a team of all home tal- ent which could beat this years All New Britain team. which Is really a professional team.
 Speaking Of the Willow Brook or South End park. he said 1t now is in admirable condition with one ex- ception, It is perfect for the play ers. but there are not sufficient &C., commodations for the spectators. More bleachers would be his one recommendation
 He said the fence is a drawback from promoters standpoint, but a solid fence would spoil the park and he would not recommend a change.
 New Britain is a real good city for a winning team and the people will patronizs a team consisting of town hoys. team which constantly wins will show good returns at the box office" he said.
