HIGH SCHOOL TEAM FAILS ID PLACE
New Britain and Hartford Fare Poorly in Yale Track Meet

V the New Britain and Hartford High school representatives, fared very poorly in the Yale interscholastic track meet in New Haven Saturday. The Red and Gold and the Hartford teams failed to score q point; Bridgeport scored one point, Chap man Technical school of New Lon don scored 2 and 23 points, and New Haven Hillhouse High school, winner for the past five years, SCOT cd only points
 Kearny High school of New Jer- sey was the winner. placing in every event as well as winning the relay race which did not count in the | final scoring. New Britain was not represented in this event.
 l Despite the fact that the boys from this city did not place in the ! four events open to high school boys they made a very good showing. In the 100 yard events, Doc" Bray dashed down the stretch in the first heat ahead of his field, Although he was eliminated, his time. 10 and i2-5 seconds made in the opening race euualled that made by the winner in the finals. Szabo and .Grysbowski were eliminated in tho first heat.
 Schicll caught in the middle of about 25 candidates in the 440 yard run distinguished himself by being within the first three at one time during the race. He finished eighth, a good record for a boy in his first meet. Verano finished about three
 yards in back of him.
 In the mile run Sochinski and Derrick put up a game battle but
 finished in the middle in a field oi about 25 candidates,
 New Britains best chances for q place was in the last event, the hlgl jump. Oscar Erikson jumped ovel
 the , foot 1 mark, the mark tha spelled doom for his team mates Gordon and Robinson. With only four candidates left he managed tt jump over the foot inch mari as the board moved in his place ant , then settled. The judges, however disqualified him and he lost thu chance of being in the money. Tn
 ruling was that his head went ove 3 before the rest of his body. Ha, he made the jump he would hay f been sure of at least a tie for fourt place. Harry Ericson failed on tn
 , feet inch mark.
 Captain Fred Zehrer and Tallo
 were the only men from this cit
 who competed in the open events 'Zehrer battlcd his way in the hal $ mile events among some of the be' preparatory schools men in this sec l ton of the country, He tinishe

 The showing of the trackmer
 most Of whom are first year student
 at the school, was indeed a compl Q ment to the ability of Coach Leone
 Depot. Instead of being dowr | hearted the showing has given theI n confidence for the two remainin
 events in the schedule, the me- Il with South Manchester Saturday A this city and the Triangular me- if with Hartford and New Haven = New Haven on Saturday, June 6.

Playing before a record crowd yesterday afternoon al St. Marys field the Falcons defeated the River view club of Norwich in an eXcit- ing game by a score of 5 10 1. By their victory over the down state lads, the Falcons are now placed in q class with the top notch teams of tch state. The game yesterday pro duced all sorts of baseball, good pitching heavy hitting and some sensational fielding. All together ii made the game exciting from start to finish.
 ! It was the bats of the Budnick i brothers. Stanley and Simon, that proved to be the downfall of the
 down state lads. They pounded the
 sIants of Gibbons to all corners Of the lot. Simon produced the punch i in the seventh inning that sent two runners across the plate, while he stopped at third. His hit was one of the longest at th" field this sea son, going over the head of the cen- terfelder to land down in back of .the hill towards ~ left field. The
 fielders were out of sight from the spectators when they dashed for the ball. They were fast however, and
 held the local player to the third
 bag.
 This long distance hit, along with
 the numerous stabs of Joe Kania
 around the midway sack, proved 10
 be the real thrills of the afternoon. The local second basemann nabbed iall that came his way, and turned many drives that looked like hits
 into putouts. It was due mainly to
 his high brand of play in the late
 innings of the game that rallies o'
 the Norwich laws were stopped
 Stanley Budnicll also played a steady game, and pounded the pill with gusto.
 The visitors flashed plenty to give the fans something to think about } They presented a fine brand of play . and excelled at bat and in the field Their snappy playing and eNcellen' , basc-runnng brought them into the , lead in the early stages of the game , Their hits were well scattered how ' ever. and they were unable to dc any great amount of damage at an! 3 one time to the slants of Bruno l ikania. The Falcons on the othe 9 hand punched their hits and chased
 across enough runs to bring then T their fourth victory in as man, y starts.

The REN-A WAY SEASON

Count among the sure-enough signs of spring the
youngster from Churchill Conn., who started forth the
other day for the great and glorious West and the ad
ventures he believed it held for ambitious courage
Gus and romantic youth. What he did get only
New York City, where heartess Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children turned him about
and set him safely back in his fathers house? He had
done his part to the call most people hear at
least
Probably it would never do in this work-a-day
world for everybody with touch of wanderlust to
drop all responsibilities and go the quest of adven-
ture But the feel Of that wanderust is a genuine
pleasure 1t is sure sign of age in spirit, if not in
body when we ceaseto have occasional day dreams of
the open road.
Why not adapt the feeling TO possibilities? Cut
out some boring social function neglect family
duty one of these fine spring days and make dash
not for foreign lands and scenesbut for the nearest
fine of for the woods and fields that lie not far
beyond the city limits. Have grand tramp and holi
day OF ldleness that does you much good as spring
tonic. Then let the S. ?. c: c. of your intelligence
turn you back at Judlclous moment to the duties FROM
which you fled They seem quite so distasteful
as they did before the harmless escapade.

BURNING PAPER MONEY

Failing in every other plan to restore the value OF
the franc and the French governments from bank
ruptcy, some ingenious Frenchmen are urging that
nall the outstanding paper money be burned
That, very likely, would make the remaining paper
francs worth about twice much as they are now if
no more We're printed in the meantime But finan-
cler points out that 1t would also bring problem
to face
The present French debt, in all lis immensty, is
now based on this inflated low-priced franc If the
purchasing power of the franc doubled tomorrow
the amount of the debt would be lust the same, with
only half the money to pay it with
1t would be the with private debts. Loans of
cheap money would have to be paid with dear money
Creditors would gain. Debtors-including taxpayers
would lose
Naturally nation that objects so strenuousy to
paying high taxes will not countenance such plan.
Germany and Russia have debated their currency,
but the prospect Of French defation still far in the
future.

THE RIPPING ROTOR

The famous German rotor snip, Baden-Baden,
which sailed early in April for this country mainly
for publicity to be accomplishing its purpose.
The publicity has been favorable. The queer craft
seems to have behaved surprisingly we'll.
The rotor ship, most readers probably know,
substitutes for sail steam power pair of rotating
steel masts, which look like big smokesacks The the
apparently borne out by practice is that such ro-
tatng cylinders take advantage of the wind better than
sails
: Sailing from Ebe, by the time the Baden Baden
reached the Canary Islands, 2000 miles away she
had averaged 207 miles day That would not be much
for steamship, but is considered remarkable for
sailing vessel in the circumstances She ran through
terrific storm and seemed her best in gale which
would have handicapped sail-rgged ship With fav-
orable weather, she may log larger mileage per day
the rest of her voyage.
Her visit to America may result in sudden crop
rotor craft, big and little in this country Yachts
men may take up rotor sailing and have lot of fun
with IT, although the lement Of beauty in a sail-rgged
boat will be lacking in the new type.
