EDUCATE THE DEPUTIES

1t should not require some gun
play Of the shoot first and make
inquiry afterwards" variety to edu-
cate the deputy sheriffs In Hartford
that hopping on mail trucks to ar
rest the driver is about as foolhardy
as trying to stop a locomotive by
humping it with their heads-re-
CARELESS OF whether they are made
Of ivory.
The Hartford deputies played thi.
dumbbell act successfully: but not
without some stiff conversation
from government officials after
wards. 1t was indeed lucky that the
marines, the devil dogs" guarding
mail trucks were not around at the
moment, this being due to the for
tunate circumstance there was no
mail on the truck TO guard as 1t
waited for a train.
Nobody has any business monkey
ing with mail trucks-not even
sheriffs. deputy sheriffs or the
gendarmerie generally. If the Hart
ford deputy sheriffs had read the
newspapers they would have known
the mail trucks are under special
guard. Now that they know it, it
may be Just as well to duck down
an alley the next time they see one.

dition? This has happened before;
and somehow cripples have habit
Of suddenly feeling fit just about
the time the rumpus starts.
The center and right guard OF
the New Britain line will be played
by two cripples or two substitutes.
This is slightly evened up by the
fact that Hartford's end fractured
an arm and its quarterback has been
out of the lineup all season with
rawness in a leg, but is expected to
be sufficiently cured" to be in the
lineup against New Britain. All
things considered, the quarterback
is not likely to be a worldbeater.
Hartford must not be allowed to
win that game. By the eternal, It's
too important in the scheme of
things to permit any such calamity
From now until the frenzied fracas
is over the town will not be the
same-and maybe it won't on Sat
urday night, when the New Britain
warriors and the multitude of camp
followers get back to civilization.

END OF CARNIVALS
IN THIS CITY

The good word formerly spoken in
favor of carnivals in this city was
they were liked by some parts of the
population, that they provided
cheap, innocent amusement" and
that they represented a legitimate
enterprise which gave a chance to
species Of strolling amusement
purveyors TO make q living which
should not be denied to them.
For two years such arguments
held good. in spite of all that
Councilman John G. Buckley of the
second ward could do about it.
Buckley hated carniyals and had
convictions and determination.
Now. through councilmanic fiat,
carnivals are barred. If anybody is
going to miss them it is too late to
squeak about it. They won't be seen
in this city unless the ordinance at
some future time is rescinded
The carnivals had themselves to
blame for the repulsion that fol-
lowed in their wake. Incidents OF no
good character we're credited to the
presence of various carnivals, and
though they often were utilized to
benefit some organization, In reality
the benefit was slight ard usually
was more of a cloak to permit the
carnival folk to Operate" under o
semblance Of public good will. But
the oftener they operated In this
city the less good will there was
left. so that at the last the ordin-
ance barring them from the city
passed the Council unanimously.
And that's that. There is plenty o..
amusement left in the city without
the aid of carnivals.

AN EXAMPLE, ANYWAY

The gentleman on Pennington
avenue who complains that the fill
ing in Of the Pennington avenue
dump is forcing water to remain In
his garden, damaging vegetables
and woodwork to the extent of ex-
actly s112.1O. is no doubt a care
full and prudent calculator.
We have no hesitancy, in saying
! that not one person out of 100 could
have, or would have, figured dam
ages "a such a nicely. At least mos,
of them would have have knocked
off the ten cents or added another
90 cents ITO make it even.'
Not so the gentleman whose let
ter called attention to conditions re-
sulting from filling in the dump.
He is to be congratulated
Whether his complaint does any
good or whether it falls on idle ears
at city hall, 1t at least advertises
him as man of unusual watch
fulness and q defender of his pro-
perry rights.
This Is not a trivial matter. The
lesson 1t points out is that if every
citizen calculated the dimes in thi.
/ Coolidge fashion the noble art OF
domestic bookkeeping would be a
universal accomplishment, giving US
plenty to occupy our spare time.

"SIC EN-" BOYS;
MAXI, III t3.

Yale's troubles are forgotten and
the Big Three can stay burst
asunder for all this town cares.
Tomorrow is the biggest day in the
sport year--''weather permitting"
AS everyone with more than an
ounce Of red corpuscles in his veins
knows, the football squad of the
New Britain senior high school will
cross legs" with the Hartford pub
lie high school at Clarliin field.
HARTFORD. It's to be our own little
wild time. a homemade show Of
class and pep. ...
The ancient rivalry between the
Hartford and New Britain schools
dates from 1898. when the Spanish
war started. Folk got het up in those
days and as everybody couldn't get
a crack at the Spaniards they had
starting a football rivalry. From
that day TO this the rivalry has
gained in momentum. until now
well, we never take a licking laying
down.
So far New Britain has won . Of
the intcrcity games; has lost seven
,and three were beautiful scoreless
ties Tomorrow New Britain expects
10 make it lucky 13 win. Play
ing in Hartford will make no diff
ference; it is just as easy to wallop
the ancient foe in its own park as
in New Britain. For confirmation of
this ask any of the boys, or their
dads, their mamas, their aunts or
their cousins; In truth. ask anybody
from Barnsdale to Stanley Quarter.
Our advice to that cheering squad
OF $50 is TO cheer its head off, with
no periods of let-up. Lung exercise
is part of the game. And our advice
TO that band is to have three drum
mers and extra players for the Gym
balls. The red and gold needs an ac-
compartment of noise enough of il
TO drown out that stuff accompany
ing tie blue and white.

fathom. But 1t is not exactly the
fault OF the officials responsible for
the desire to keep the field in good
condition: 1t is the fault OF the city
in not providing good practice
field in addition to the playing field.
The one is quite as necessary as the
other.
When the late William F. De-
laney. former postmaster and for
years a member OF the park board,
fought for the idea of a football
field in Willow Brook park. his main
contention was that the football
players would have place for prac-
tice, as well as place to play match
games. This argument finally won
the day so far as provision being
made for the construction OF
Memorial field. 1t Is not too much to
suppose, however, that Mr.. Delaney
also had in mind a practice field in
conjunction with the other. Anyway.
such field is badly needed. For
tunately it does not require much
expense to provide one, according to
unofficial estimates of those inter-
ested.
The day when the high school
track team had to practice at the
Glen street dump. and the days
when the football team had to prac-
tice in Walnut Hill park. are past.
But we are not yet sitting perfectly
pretty. by any means. Failure to
provide practice space In Willow
Brook park may be an oversight; If
so, it no doubt can be arranged for
with a little effort. 1t would save
the park superintendent and the
park board much irritating trouble
to have such a field handy.
New Britain herald., 1926-11-19
4 PRACTICE FIELD
FOR FOOTBALL

When Superintendent Of Parks
wainwright denied Memorial field
in Willow Brook park to the high
school football squad for practice
he no doubt was actuated by de-
sire to protect the turf from being
damaged and thus contributing to
possible injuries TO players when
match games were in progress.
Mayor Weld. happening to come
upon the high school squad "prac-
ticing" upon one of the neighboring
bogs in the park, promptly ordered
them to be permitted to go into
the enclosure. This looked bad for
the policy Of eXclusivcneSs which
had been followed by the park sup
crintendcnt. but an analysis Of tho
facts brings forth something good to
he said both ways.
The facts are that the high school
squad should have a decent prac-
tice place as well as a field for
match games. Such practice
ground could be arranged in the
park.

MEXICAN REVOLT
IS NOT FEARED
Officials Not Alarmed Over Re-
ports Of Strife

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 10 R>-Mexi-
can officials at Texas border points
decline to become alarmed over per-
sistent rumors of an impending re-
bellion.
Statements by Adolfo De La
Huerta, former provisional president
of Mexico, and his brother, Alfonso,
that rebel forces were well prepared
to start a revolution were character
lied as "big bluffs" by General Ra-
mon Lopez, commander of the fed
eral garrison at Jaurez.
General Lopez said he was
amused by manifesto issued by
General Nicholas Fernandez, former
follower of Francisco (Pancho)
Villa, calling on Chihuahua citizens
to rally to the support of Huerta in
a movement to overthrow the Gales
government
Major General Florenza, chief Of
LopeZ's staff, returned to JaureZ yes
terday with a small detachment he
led in pursuit of II rebels said to
have crossed the border under Fer
nandez to organize the former SOL
diers of Villa who settled In Chi
huahua when the bandit leader was
slain. Florenza reported killing one
rebel in a skirmish at Pulpito, Chi
huahua.
General Lopez denied rumors that
Colonel A. Moreno, known as a
rebel agent, had been executed at
Chihuahua City.
De La Huerta, who lives In Los
Angeles, declared he would take his
place at the head of his sympathiz-
ers in Mexico when the time was OPP
perfume. He made it plain, however,
that he had no intention of violating
the neutrality laws of the United
States and said the American author
