 Bridgeport May 10th

Bridgeport, April % Up, --- Five hundred bald heads will assemble here for the annual convention of the Baldhead club Of America on May 10. Governor John H. Trum- bull will be the guest of honor and former states attorney Homer S. Cummings will be toastmaster. Prominent baldhcads will be here from many of the 37 states in which the organization has members.
 Consideration will be given during the session to the reported founding of chair in college, devoted to hair research, the purpose Of which will be to study badness and its lcure. That hostile opposition will be voiced by some of the members Ito this encroachment upon the po- tential membership fields of the or ganzation has been indicated by John Rodemeyer, Greenwich. editor and historian of the society.
 Bald headed men are jealous Of their franchise in this respect" Mir Rodemcycr said. Any effort to ir- rigatc sterile pates will be vigorous ly opposed by many Of us at the con- vention. We take this thing as s"r- .iousIy as the eyolutiouists and fundamentalists do their respective beliefs.
 Under the charter of the society q man must have three inches of bald pate plus $1 in order to become ] a member" Mir. Rodcmeyer eH- plained, but regardless of other qualifications, he must have the S1."

FINDS NO PANACEA
 ID FIT ALL CRIME
National Commission Shifts Re.
 search Work to States

Washington, April 2a Rl-The
 National Crime Commission after Investigations covering a period of nlne months, has concluded there is
 no universal panacea for crime. but that application of remedies rests with individual states and indiyid- ual citizens.
 The commissions attitude was
 set forth hy its executive committee which submitted n report through Richard Washburn Child, chairman of the organization, recommending creation of state crime commissions
 by state legislatures, or by private citizens.
 Mir. Child reported the committee
 has rej cted q proposal for a na- tional crime survey. relieving it
 would be impractical.
 r, Trubee Davison, New York chairman, declared the crime situ- alton is such as 10 "challenge atten-
 ton, thought and action" and that the most pressing question Is that
 of administration Of justice. Saying that very few jurisdictions in the country can properly boas,
 of an Ideal state of affairs, Mr.
 Davison asserted that where cond,-
 tions have been accurately ascer- tainod the situation has almost uni Versally been found to be dis graceful"
 He thought, however. that the American people in the various com. munities could make the machinery Of justice efficient if they would "set their minds to the task"
 Joah II. Banton. state destrict at- there had been a marked improve. ment In the crime situation there torney for New York county. said in the last four years and attributed much of the success of drive against crime 10 the support of New
 York newspapers.
 Papers Have Helped He said the newspapers have CO., operated by giving the same prom,- hence 10 convi tions and sentences
 they gave to crimes and criminals and added that the result of this publicity has been equal to more
 than 2,oOo additional policemen and ten additional judges" Newspapers, he said. can serve as the greatest crime deterrents. Declaring he was privileged 10 speak for the firearms and an1muni- tion industry of tho country. Frank J. kahrs, told the commission the arms industry would support q move to obtain q uniform law in all states to control and regulate sale and possession Of pistols and re- Volvers.
 President Coolidge. who received the executive committee yesterday,
 endorsed the commissions activities in letter to ifs chairman. 1 While the crime commission was mH"ting. another group of prom,- nHnt attorneys and jnrists, heafod | by Charles F. Hughes. began con

 Judge McDovitt, before whom the case was heard, declared today how ever, that the iury's verdict of man. slaughter was strictly in accordance with the evidence" and that Osborne would be sent to jail, At the same time tho judge commended the seven men who walked from the jury box at the opening of the trial. indicating they were influenced by the "unwritten law"
 'I consider the iury's verdict a very just one," said Judge McDcVitt. The law provides that tho heaviest penalty that this man could receive would be six to twelve years. The jury, however recommended len iency and I will regard their wishes, hut Osborne will go to jail

PLAYERS SUPERSTITIOUS

No doubt ball players would be
just as superstitious about the num-
bers as are the footballers.
Harry Wilson, famous Army half
back, when with Penn State, made
his debut wearing a borrowed jersey
of an injured player bearing the nu-
neral 10. 1t was against Harvard
and he ran something like sixty-five
yards for a touchdown shortly after
entering the game. He has worn
that number for six years.
Red Grange, during his college
career, would sport nothing but ~.
Frosty" Peters, his successor at
Illinois, is just as strong for "A.
The other day 1 heard a story
about the part superstition recently
played in a game between the elevens
of two colored colleges.
Even more popular than football
with the colored folks is African
golf, in which the figures and IL
are much desired numbers on the
first roll Of the bones.

ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DAY CONTESTS ATTRACT BIG CROWDS

hundreds of fans who are not regu-
lar attendants, transients, who see
only a limited number Of games dur
ing a season. Also at every game
are a few people who are watching
big league contest for the first
time. All players look alike to these
fans.
The score card enables them to
pick out players who are actively in
the game. However, there are just
twice as many players who don't get
into action.
1t may be that just the player
great many fans came to see is not
in the lineup of a certain game
Thus, only by bothering his neigh
Dor can the fan pick out the player
he is most anxious to give the once
over.
If all the players were numbered,
the fan, by merely referring to his
score card, would be able to de-
cipher all the athletes and in very
short time.

NO Defeat Record.

BIZ United Press
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. 25.-
Browns Iron Men" reached the
crucial point today in their season $
conquest for an unbroken string Of
victories over the good teams Of the
East. Coach D. o. McLaughry
feared the seasons strain would at
last make itself felt on his men in
today's tilt with Colgate.
All season McLaughry has con-
tended that they're not iron men"
as their admirers have called them,
but Gust eleven college boys
having a good time playing foot
ball"
Fair weather prevailed and a size
able crowd was assured. Tickets
have been selling at a premium for
more than a week and alumni of
both schools filled the town with a
larger crowd than attended the Yale
Harvard game last year at the
dedication of the stadium where to-
days game was to be played.
Coach George 'Hauser of the
Colgate eleven, like McLaughry
feared his men have reached the
breaking point, but assured alumni
that Eat all events it's going to be
wonderful game"
Both teams practiced in the
stadium testing the surface and air
currents.

Purdue Flash Averages 7 81
Yards Each Time He
Carries Ball in Big Ten.

BIZ Times SDecidl
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 25.-
Chester (Cotton) Wilcox of New AL
bany, ace Of the Purdue back field
achieved some remarkable yardage
records this year, it has been re-
vealed by C. M. James, Purdue sta
tistician, his feats including a total
gain of 967 yards against seven Of
Purdues opponents, and playing 346
minutes out of a possible $50 in
Purdue's six most important engage.
ments, which included the Navy, Wa.
bash, Wisconsin, Chicago, North
western and Indiana. In these six
games the Purdue star gained to-
tai Of 500 yards.
In four conference games, Got
ton" carried the ball seventy-one
times for $40 yards gain or an aver
age of z CT yards each time, while
against three Conference teams
he gained APT yards in sixty-five at
tempts, an average of 7.75 yards.
His grand average for the season
was 7.76 yards on 126 attempts.
Wilcox is perhaps the only man
who gained as much as 172 yards
against the strong Navy eleven. In
other games he gained 127 against
Wabash, 80 against Wisconsin, 1873
against Chicago, so against North
western and 265 against Indiana last
Saturday.
If Wilcox merely performed as
a half back, his record this year,
would be remarkable, but in addi-
ton he passed, kicked, acted as
safety man, on several occasions pi-
loted the Boilermakers and In every
game was a marked man and sub
jected to some strenuous handling
by opposing tacklers.
Wilcox has another year of COM
petition at Purdue and should be
every bit as prominent on the Boiler
maker squad next year as he was
this one.
Checking back a bit farther on
his record, it is shown that against
eight Big Ten teams, in two years,
Wilcox has gained grand total of
o70 yards in 147 attempts or an
average of 7.3 yards an attempt.
