LARGE GOLF FIELD
 TEES OFF WEDNESDAY Third Annual Herald Fresh Air Tournament at
 Shuttle Meadow

Local golfers are enthusiastically
 preparing for one of the most import
 ant New Britain golf fixtures which
 will take place next Wednesday at
 Shuttle Meadow, the occasion being
 the third annual Fresh Air tnrnament.
 an affair which everyone may enter
 and which offers such a selection of
 prizes that "duffer' and good anna
 teur alike may win ono or the other
 The different pieces of silverware
 are given by the New Britain Herald.
 which purchased them at cost through
 Porter & Dyson. The use of the course
 Is given by the Shuttle Meadow club, and the whole proceeds from the two
 dollar entry fec required goes to the Fresh Air fun for the maintenance of the children's camp at Burlington. Two years ago about $2o6 was netted from this source, last year 1t was near ly $500, and 1t is hoped that this year it will bring at least $500 worth of of some New Britain youngsters who are much In need of the outing which the fund affords them.
 Seven prizes are on display and will be given away at the close of the play Wednesday. They will be awarded to the player getting the lowest gross score and the second low- est gross, to the player getting the low net and the second low net, and to the player who successfully chooses his handicap in the "kickers'" event. There are two second prizes in the last event as we'll as the first. Golf prizes are not necessarily an induce ment to the tolers of links, but day of sociability on the course with the prospect of a memento of the occasion furnishes the impetus that will get many players out. In the background, also, should be the realization that a vast amount of good is to be done with the entry payment.
 Barring rain, and it ain't gonna rain no mo" so it seems, players may tee up any time during the day for an IS hole round upon which all of the | prizes will be. based. All that will be necessary is to pay the starter two do- lars per man and go to 1t. Players are expected to bring partners with them, going out in twosomes. foursomes or threesonles. 1t will be all the same to the starters--providing he gets the 'two-spot." In all proba bility there will be several men around who have no partners, so the individual who dis covers his golf buddies are not entered (shame on them) should come along anyhow, and the starter will pair him off. Two dollars is going to look very, very large to the starters.
 Anyone may play, everyone Is urged .o--show up at Shuttle Meadow at the lime most convenient to you next Wcdnesday--and please the starter as we'll as yourself and several of New less fortunate youngsters who will be sent on vacation with your money.

JUDD UNDEC|DEDON CARNIVAL INQUIRY Will Accept Place on Probe Con-
 nittee if It Has Any Power OTHERWISE HE MAY DECLINE Third Ward Alderman Believes Body
 Should Have Authority to Summon
 Witnesses Corporation Counsel Refuses to Express Opinion.
OTHERWISE HE MAY DECLINE

Provided the committee named Saturday by Mayor A. Nj. Paonessa to investigate the carnival situation is empowered to summon witnesses and take such other steps as may be necessary to obtain evidence. Alder man William H. Judd of the third ward, upon whose allegations the
 probe was started, is ready to accept the appointment to the committee rendered him by the mayor. he said today. 1 The alderman waJ the first mem Der named. Accompanying his ap- pointment was letter from the mayor explaining that the alderman's s failure to submit proof that someone higher up" had told Chief of Police ". c. Hart not to interfere with Coleman Brothers gambling wheesl, might have been caused by his in- ability to get the evidence, and for that reason the executive wished to clothe him with authority to proceed further.
 Learns of Appointment Today.
 Alderman Judd has been out of town for several days. He received first news of his appointment when he returned this morning, he said, and up to that time had not received the official notification. The alder- man declared that the extent of au- thority enjoyed by the proposed com- mittee will determine whether or not he will accept the appointment and start the investigation. If the com- mittee is powerless, he sees no reason why it should attempt a probe, he explains. If it has sufficient power to accomplish its end, he has no ob- jection to entering upon the inves- tigation.
 Kirkham Silent on Authority.
 Corporation Counsel John H. Kirk ham declined to discuss the powers of special committees appointed by the mayor and not ordered by the common council, but in official cir cles it is believed that such a com mittee has not the powers that Alder man Judd believes are requisite if a successful probe is to be made.
 At the last sessions of the charter revision committee, the question of witnesses was discussed at length and there was opposition to placing in the charter a clause that would empower the several boards to demand appearance before them. In cases where such power exists 1t is usually specifically stated | in the charter.
