Herald and Junior Achieve ment Council Want to
 Find Best Player

Wanted: To find the best nib player in the city of New Britain. Sounds like . classified ad. but it isn't, not Herald and the Junior Achievement foundation in this city are making for a real definite purpose. That purpose is nothing more or less than an effort to select local champ at the game of marbles, who will be sent to At lantic City to play in the national contests there for "the glory of old New Britain" Gosh! Wouldn't it be great if we could find boy or girl from the "Old Home Town" who could go down to the national tourna- ment and beat. out all of the other fellows for the championship of the United States? Players, polish up your favorite taws, go into intensive train ing in the backyard with anyone that will play with you, even your best girl, and get set, because we haven't great deal of time to get ready, we are late entry now. It is a sure thing that the best player, boy or girl, from this city will go to Atlantic City for week early in June, will get all his expenses paid and will be sent in company with a companion to be picked by the champ or selected from the Herald staff. It will not cost him a cent and, after he gets down there it will be up to him to play miggs like a good fellow and bring back the championship cup to New Britain. Any boy or girl who will be under the age of IS years on July 1, may enter the tournament which will be held here to decide who is the best player in New Britain.
 After q series of games here, In which each player will meet and elim- mate another. the best player. or the winner, will be given the chance to go to Atlantic City to play champs from GO other cities.
 Any boy or girl in the city of New Britain is eligible to enter the tourna- nlent, there is no entry fee. all that must be done is to send in the entry blank which you will find printed on another page of the Herald, to w. w. T, Squire at the Americanization bu- reau headquarters or to the Herald office. After the entries are all in the details of the play will be arranged and players will be notified through the Herald when the matches are to take place. There is no expense at all attached to the tournament. The winners expense account will be paid at Atlantic City for one week, June l to 10, together with companion.
 The game to be played is ringer" and the same rules will govern the tournament in New Britain as at At lantic City. We shall print those rules in& day or so for the benefit of those who do not know all about them. But, by all means, enter anyhow, be- cause we do not wish to see the boy or girl who might be city champ left out of the matches. The preliminar- les will be played after school hours in various parts of the city. The win- ners of the district contests will then meet in the true city championship. The Herald will award medal fo the city champ and one to the run ner-up," in addition to the trip to At- lantic City the champ will get.
