IRISH POETESS
A VISITOR TN
TOWN F..
Received by President
Coolidge; Guest of the
Alvin Dodds

Ella Young, the Irish poet, who
knows more perhaps than anyone
today about the folklore and myth
of her land. arrived in Washington
last evening to be the guest FOL
several days of Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin
Dodd in their home on Bancroft
Place. This morning she called al
the White House, 1:IG was pre-
scented to the President and Mrs
Dodd had a few guests in TO meet
her at luncheon later.
Miss Young is a rare person
possessed of charm and fascination
to a degree remarkable even for
poet stepped in the tradition of Ire
land. She is making a series OF
lectures in this country--having ar
rived about month ago. She has
had many books published-boolxs
of fairy tales, folklore and her own
poetry. For a long time she has
been fayorite lecturer in Ireland.
For she knows her fairyland. the
present days Irish poets about
whom she has interesting stories,
and everything else that's Irish.
She is "a graduate of the Royal
University of Dublin
1t is easy for this Irish poet to
know much of the seen and the
unseen. She is keenly sensitive to
natures many-voiced speaking and
she is the kind of person to whom
children and grown-ups alike will
talk freely-feeling that she under
stands.
Children in the wild west of ire
land have recounted to her their
dealings with eery playmates of the
woods and fields: of spell-weaving
luIlabies bringing slumber. Old men
in fishing boats and huts have
taught her lamentations. Peasant
women have whispered over a dy-
ing fire of peat about strange
apparitions, disappearance. weird
croonings in the wind, uncanny
silences. Brides have confided TO
her their dreams.
4 have heart that loves such
stories and adventures" she con-
fesses. They are living stories,
still real in the lives of the simple
people who relate them
Miss Young has done valuable
work in translating and adapting
Gaelic literature and folklore, thus
helping to sustain the traditions
that spread so romantic a back
ground for the modern Irish State
now slowly establishing itself as
a political unit.
She is a. woman whose quieS
intensity and power, one immedi
ately feels. She has the face of
a poet and seer: a high, serene
brow, gray hair that waves SOFT
Iy. features that are at once deli
cate and strong and eys in which
resides the faculty of seeing.

MISSING LINK
 CREATES INTEREST
Scientists Wondering About
 Recent Java Discovery

Batavia, Java. Sept 29 LP)-There are strong indications. local scien- lists say, that the skull found by Dr. c. J. F.. Heberlem is similar to tn famous missing link" skull un- earthed in the same district in 1892 by Prof. Eugene Dubois, and will furnish the long sought support for Dubois sensational ape-man theory, which set the scientific world aflame generation ago.
 Prof. Dubois considered his dis covery insufficient as scientific proof and saited for q second specimen. IT, new find is said to be a com- plete skull, while the Dubois relic was incomplete.
 Careful examination of the Heber- lein skull has not yet been finished.
 It was found in a peculiar man. ner, Mir. Hcberlein, who is district physician of the public health de- partment of Sourabaya, bought it from native boys who unearthed 1t near Trinil, where Dubois found the cranial section, thigh bone and two teeth from which he evolved his Pithecanthropus Erectus. The na- tive boys customarily unearth bones and other relics for sale to tourists.

USE TRUCKING BOARD"
Coach Cassidy Re-Introduces De- vice in Practice to Make Line Get Team Work,

The "Bucking board" after sev- eral years of absence from the prac- tice sessions of the New Britain High school made its first appear ance at practice yesterday when Coach George NJ. Cassidy had the line pushing the "relic" about the lot as members of the 1921 and 1922 teams did during their terms at school.
 The board is made of wood and is run on wooden rollers, Running along the front is plank a few inches over the boys heads as they crouch in line position. Usually Coach Cassidy and several of his heaviest substitute line men stand on the platform making the task of the team more difficult. As the centre passes the ball all seven line men leap forward as one and push the imaginary line backward. This teaches the line to work in together so that the team work will be bet ter.
 Coach Cassidy first brought the idea in during the 1921 season when the line consisted of "Al' Benco at center; Charlie Rakowski and Les Schaefer, at guards, Fieneman and Williams, tackles, and Muche, Zohrer, and Landino, ends.

INDUSTRIAL BASKETBALL
Athletic Committee Meets and Names Committee To Draw Up Schedule For Season.

Plans were laid last night for the opening of the Industrial basketball league at the '. NJ. C. A. this sea- son at a meeting of the Industrial athletic council. All the factories who had teams in the league last year with the exception of Russell $ Erwin were present and in addi- tion, the Corbin Screw corporation has made application for place in the league. The R. 6o E. team will, it is expected, be entered also al though no representative attended last nights session.
 With the seven teams that played last year and the Corbin Screw team entered this year, it will be an eight team league. A committee of three consisting of Joseph Horgstrom, Bryce Long and James Havlick was appointed last night to draw up schedule and the first game will probably take place on November 9, There will be two games, two nights a week the same as last year prob- ably on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The committee will meet at the '. M. c. A. again next Wednes- day 10 adopt the schedule.
 Monday night at the Y. VI. c. A, the Industrial bowling league com mittee will meet to adopt a schedule of games for the present season, Games will be started in the near pected to open their league in the very near future.

YANKEES HAVE THE
 LARGEST STADIUM
First World Series Was Played
 There With Giants in 1928

New York, Sept. 20 Py-The Yankee stadium. where the New York Americans make their home, is the largest baseball plant in the country. It saw it's first world series games in 1923, the year it was built, when the Tanks and Giants hooked up in the October classic that re- turned the American league cham pions the winners.
 Oft described as "The House That Ruth Built" its vast triple-decked stands and spacious bleachers will hold about 65,00O persons. The largest paid attendance in the 1923 series was 62,S17, but no standees were allowed and as there is stand ing room for several thousand the actual capacity has never been off cially made known. In a double header this month with the Athletics the Tanks were said to have enter tained a few hundred over G5,O00 cash customers.
 The stadium is built on ten- dClC put JtlSL lipi LII VI NIlS I1tiA ISIil river in the Bronx and is understood to have cost close to SS,O0O,000. The ground stand is triple decked steel affair with concrete floors.
 The playing field contains 16O, O,0o0 square feet. The left field foul line is ESQ feet ' inches to the box fence which runs at a wide angle to the foul line giving the left fielder am pie room. Comparatively few home runs are made into the left field stands. The right field foul line strikes the bleacher fence 294 feet inches from the home plate. It is into the wide reaches of the right field bleachers and over this fence that Babe Ruth pops most of his home runs. From the home plate to deepest center field the tape shows 490 feet.
 A drainage system was built under the playing field so that torrential rain soon filters through the soil, leaving the surface in good shape for playing.
 Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the club owner, always has declined 10 con- sider installing temporary stands on the playing field.

Oregon Republican Is
 Indicted by Grand Jury

Portland, Oregon, Sept 20 P)-- Charles E. German, president of the Multnomah county republican club, and five members of the or ganization, were indicted yesterday by the county grand jury in con- nection with the circulation of a yellow ticket" before the primary election last May.
 The ticket purported to show the indorsement of United States Senator Robert N. Stanfeld by the Ku Klux Klan in his race for re- nomination on the republican tic ket. Stanfeld, who was defeated by Frederick Steiwer of Pendleton and is now campaigning as an in- dependent charged that the vel low ticket was circulated among voters opposed to the klan in plot to injure his candidacy.
