THOUGHT HE WAS EVEN
 BETTER THAN PADDOCK
Purdue reshman Did Not. Know That stop-Watch Had Been
 Fixed For Him,

Lafayette. Ind, Oct. s.-During the balmy spring days of 1924 at Purdue University, a dlminutive member of the freshman class was clocked by three watches at 9S-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash.
 Roy Green, innocent appearing yearling, reported to Track Coach o'Connor to try out for the century. He turned out to be terrific run ner.
 Several members of the squad de- cided, however, that they would have some fun at his expense. Three trackmen set as many watches at 9 S-5 seconds, fourth fired the starting pistol. Green covered the distance in something like IS sec- onds, yet the watches all showed his time to be S-5 second. He was highly eated.
 The innocent victim, thinking he was a second Charley Paddock, made application to enter the olym- pic tryouts. It was weeks before the staff could convince him of the hoax. He is still tryng to get the freshman class to publish a public apology in the university newspaper.

bULGARIANS SEEK
 CIGARETTE MARKET
May Find One in Germany Be-
 cause Of Quarrel Over Language

r Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Oct. S.-When diplomats disagree, business some times goes by the board, and what is Greece's loss may become Bull garia's gain. Just because a minis ter insisted French was the language of diplomacy, the tobacco growers of Plodvdiv hope to find new market for their product in Berlin.
 Herr von Schoen, German minis ter to Greece, arrived in Athens and announced he would make his off, ficial address to the president of the Greek republic in German, But the Greek foreign minister, M. Roussos, insisted that French was the lan- guage of diplomacy in Greece as elsewhere, and said that Herr von Schoen should speak in French.
 The German press then took up the matter, and pointed out with re- sentiment that Greek minister to Germany had been permitted to make his presentation address to the president of the German Reich in Greek. The boycott on tobacco. the chief product of Greece fol- lowed.
 Germany in 1923 imp orted 12,0Qo,- 900 kilograms of tobacco. and Bull garian growers are hoping to an- mex considerable proportion of the Greek shipments for at least as long as the boycott lasts.

AERIAL RECORDS
 MADE AT DAYTON
MacRsady and Harris Carry
 Weights to New Loft

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 8. - Four worlds records for altitude and weight-carrylng were established by Lleuts. John A. MacReady and liar old R. Harris of McCook field, at the international air races at Wright field last week, according to an- nouncement today by George B. Smith. chairman of the contest committee for the race meet.
 Thursday, Lieut.. MacReady, in a Martin bomber, carrying a load of t500 Kilograms (6,S16.5 pounds), or 5i,6 pounds more than the required load for &his classification, reached an altitude of 15,200 feet. He re- mained in the air for two hours, IS minutes, 4s.6 seconds.
 This accomplishment excels the duration and altitude records for this classification which were held by Luclen Boussoutrot of France. whose marks were 1 hour, 47 min utes, s-25 seconds for duration and 14,6s2 feet in height.
 Friday. Lieut.. Harris, In the Bar ling bomber, carrying 9,O35 pounds, useful load, an overload of PIT pounds, remained in the air 1 hour, 47 1o.5 seconds, travelling to an all titude of slightly more than 1000 feet. This mark breaks the record held for 2,000 pounds load of Lucien Bussoutrot, and also beats the rec ord made by Lieut.. Harris In the B. 900 pound classification: it also sets a new record for the 1000 pound classification.

Famous Vine in England
 Yields Abundant Crop

London, Oct. S.-Six hundred punches of black Hamburg grapes, some of them weighing more than two pounds each, have just been cut from the great vine at Hampton Court Palace.
 This grape vine, like Ephriam Bulls original Concord vine which still 1ourishes in the Massachusetts town, is one of the most famous in the world. It is more than a cen- tury and half old, having been planted in the reign of King George II, and it's enormous yield is a mat ter of great interest in England. The vine requires constant pruning else it would exhaust itself in bear ing more grapes than it would be able to nourish.
 The sale of this vines enormous yield provides a tidy sum for char ity, as the grapes fetch s1,5o a pound.

QUEENSLAND SELLS
 GEMS AT A PROFIT
Makes Money on Sapphires Sold
 in London

London. Oct. S.--Large quantities of Queensland sapphires from the newly discovered mines of Queens land are being offered on the Lon don market. The stones, which are Extraordinarily large and clear. are the first to be mined In the new district under government operation, and are being sold by the govern ment representative in London, al- so an innovation.
 The sapphire marketing by the government is the first attempt of the Australian provincial govern ments to carry out the scheme for wider government operation of re- sources and marketing Of products. Before the war the sapphire indus try in Australia was largely in the hands of Germans, whose represent atives bought on the fields and sent their purchases direct to factories in Germany. As result of postwar legislation which keeps foreigners, especially Germans, out of Australia, the Queensland government took control of the industry.
 Legislation has been enacted which prevents independent miners from selling their product to any except the official government buy CTS, who assess the parcels and pay the miners fixed prices according to the established methods of grading. The experiment is said to have proved successful for the miners as we'll as the government. The mon- CTS have an immediate market and are given a far higher price than formerly.
 The production of Australian sap phres diminishes yearly in spite of the opening of new mines. The an- nual production Is now less than one-eighth of the worlds output, while before the war 1t was about one-fifth.
 sapphires were first discovered in Queensland in 1876 and for a num- her of years there were only few men engaged in the industry. Now there are about 45O miners. The mining is done mostly along the creeks and rivers and consists only of surface work. the men digging holes 50 to SO feet deep and bor- ing In various directions from the main shaft.

COMMUNICATED
CA Snort" Takes Exception to Prices
 At Football Game.
ports Editor:

Sports Editor: w
 Will you please spare a little space in your paper and print the following communication? Thank you.
 Ut would be very interesting to know if the Memorial Park of New Britain was put in order for the peo- ple of New Britain or if it was put there as a money-making scheme for the local football team. Last Sundays game was a very good eX- ample of what I am driving at. So far each game that has been played, the admission charged was 50 cents and Sunday for the Torrington game, the price advanced to S5 cents. In the first place, the game was not worth any more than 50 cents and in the second place, it just goes to show that the football games of the local team are played for some body's financial end and not for the sport of the people of New Britain in general.
 There were several young men at the game last Sunday, whom I par ticularly noticed, who were very eager to attend the game but had only the usual so cents and were re- fused admission on that account. l have often heard it said that for a Sunday game, any one can refuse to nav admission. If this is so, why then should the manager be allowed to raise his price 30 cents over the usual price of so cents for such games as are played in this city.
 The manager. better get wise to himself or he will turn the people against him and won't have the support of any of the New Britain ties which he has heretofore had very much.
 Yours truly,

DAUBERT MAY DIE
Veteran Baseball Player Falls TO Rally Following Operation For Appendicitis.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. S,--Friends or Jacob F.. Daubert, first baseman and captain of the Cincinnati Reds, were alarmed last night when word came from the hospital that the veteran infielder had failed to rally, as was expected, from recent operation he underwent for appendicitis, and that his condition was serious.
 pr. H. II. Hines, club physician who operated upon Daubert, said the patients condition was due to his being in poor physical condition for several months before he en- tered the hospital. Daubert, while under the care of a physician, left his home in Pennsylvania to join the Reds in a transforming trip after the close of the season. Arriving at Cincinnati, he was taken ill and entered the hospital last Thursday.

THE BALL,
 VERY IMPORTANT
Blocked Kick, Tumble, Pass
 Vital on GridirOn
Keep your eye on the ball.

Keep your eye on the ball.
 That's the college yell Of every sport
 Whether it's tennis, football, golf or baseball, it's always the same old story.
 KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL.
 If you look up as you take a healthy swing at the pesky little golf ball the result makes for cuss words.
 If you lose sight of the ball on the diamond, someone is sure to work the hidden ball trick of 1776 vintage. Nothing Is more em- barrassing.
 In football it often means bad tumble that prevents score or makes possible such thing for the opposition.
 Just at present football coaches the country over are drilling the keep your eye on the ball" theory into their varsity candidates.
 Big Problem for Coaches
 Once upon a time football coach- es advised falling on the ball in case someone fumbled. A good one have improved on that system by insisting that the player pick the ball up and run with it.
 In the open game of football, the pigskin is constantly flying through the air. either through the medium of forward pass or punt. It is more essential than ever to watch the ball, follow its course. If team is to be rewarded with victory.
 The football records of 1923 dis close some very interesting facts relative to sensational plays that re- suited in touchdowns. In great many cases the keep your eye on the ball" methods made apossibe the plays.
 Being Wideawake Pays
 Last season in the hundreds of games played by the major and mi nor colleges, 32 touchdowns were scored on blocked kicks, 36 as a re- suit of recovering fumbled balls and running the remaining distance.
 Incidentally the records prove that the forward pass is not such a dangerous play after all. During the 1923 season 168 touchdowns were scored via the forward pass route while only 54 resulted through in- tercepted passes.
 Evans of Swarthmore did the most sensational stunt of the year on a recovered tumble, running 104 yards for a touchdown against Pennsylvania,
 John Levi, the Haskell Indian star and Hazel of Rutgers, All-America end last season, did the best bit Of forward passing with 55-yard heaves that resulted in touchdowns.
 Forward Pass Thriller
 One of the most thrilling plays or the year was S6-yard pass by Mc- Elwain of Northwestern to Herman, who ran 49 yards for touchdown against Minnesota.
 Another thriller was pulled by John Hegarty of Georgetown, who intercepted a forward pass in the game with Georgia Tech and ran 97 yards for score.
 The gridiron athletes of 1923 in a remarkable season set number Of records for the 1924 stars to shoot at.
 The athlete who keeps his eye on the ball always has a chance to pull the unexpected.
