Qualified members Of the Kenne-
bee Bar acted as judge and counsel
for the defense in three cases which
were tried" Tuesday night before
the Y. M. G. A. court, when Lewis A.
Burleigh, jr.. and Robert B. William
son, law partners. assisted with the
conduct of the cases scheduled for
that evening, In order that the regu-
lar officers of the court might be-
come better acquainted with legal
procedure. In two of these cases
Attorney Burleigh presided as Judge
in the absence Of Judge Arthur L.
Grimths. who was unfortunately
called out Of town, and in the other
the bench. The attorney not acting
in the capacity of Judge assisted the
defense in each case but despite this
extra legal talent, the prosecution
won all three Of the cases.
Ten respondents appeared in one
case, and one each in the other two
cases, which were tried Tuesday eve
ming. This brings the total of cases
handled to date to seven and the to-
tai number of respondents to %.
The court which has been running
on q temporary basis for short
time has recently been placed upon
a regular, business-l like foundation.
The trials are conducted similarly to
the trials in the courts of the coun-
try, with all the dignity and
thoroughness that characterize them.
Cases involving misdeamors. alleged
to have been committed in the Y. NJ.
G. A. building and about the grounds
come within the jurisdiction of this
court.
Judge Arthur L. Griffiths. a popular
member Of the Y. NJ. C. A. Red Til
angle Village" Is Yale graduate and
is well qualified to undertake .e
duties of the office to which he was
elected. His sentences, pronounced
after an offender has been found
guilty by jury trial, are such as will
bring forcibly to the mind of the Gull
prit that proper conduct in the "Y"
is the best policy. In a recent case
involving t., breaking of some arti-
Gle at the Y. M. c. A., the respondent
was sentenced to repair the damage
and was placed upon two weeks
probation. Punishment from the Y.
M. C. A. and the "Y" grounds for a
period OF two Or three weeks is also
handed out in some casec.
If a respondent fter bein.- proper
~ "indicfed" fails g answer to the
charge at the next term of the week
ly court he is barred from the Y. NJ.
c. A. building for another week, and
so long as he fails to appear before
the court he is thus banished from
week to week. One boy at the pre-
sent time has refused to answer to
an indictment and is now unable to
use the priveledges of the building.

BLUES DEFEATED

New Britain Eleven Meets
 Stronger Eleven ill Clash

The New Britain Blues went down to defeat by the score of to 0 at the hands of the Stonewalls of Hoi- yoke In that city yesterday after noon. The game was an interest ing one and a record crowd wit messed the battle.
 The Blues put mp a great defcn- sive battle though they did not threaten at any time to score. Twice the Holyoke team had first down on New Britain's five yard stripe and twice the New I@ritain battlers rose to the occasion and beat back the plunging backs of the Stonewalls.
 The aerial game of he Holyoke grinders, however. was the exccp- tional feature of the game. Several spectacular passes were executed by them and it was one of these. beau tifully maneuvered that gave Hol- ol1e the ball on New Britain's three ya' line as the third quarter ended From this point, Holyoke car ried it over the line on the first two 1 pldtS III tlc loullIl PeIlOI. EIll'I | carried the ball over the goal line for six points and Roberts scored a pretty drop kick for the extra counter.
 The Blues were constantly on the defensive throughout the battle. The local boys fought hard and were in the game every minute. but 1 their best efforts could not stop the i Holyol1e team when the score was made. The opposing team yester day appeared to be just q little bit too experienced for the local team.

SEEKING ID MAKE RECORDS OFFICIAL
A. A. U, Discusses Marks Of
 Paddock and Locke

Baltimore, Nov. 15 tP-Two spec tacular sprint performances eclipsing anything on record-91s seconds for 100 yards by Charley Paddock, the California comet, and 201a seconds for 220 yards by Roland Locke, the Nebraska flier-sought the stamp of official approval today before the convention of the Amateur Athletic union.
 In spite Of dispute over the ac- curary of watches timing by tenth of second, both records. set last May, passed their first test last night when the records committee of the A. A. U., recommended their acceptance. Approval by the convention as whole would establish them as Am erican standards but, having been timed by tenth-second watches, they would no' likely be accepted by the International Amateur Athletic fed eration, the final arbiter on worlds records. This ruling body, while still experimenting with the tenth second time pieces, now regards them as inaccurate and sanctions on- ly the flfth-second watch. The A. A. U. records committee has propos- ed to abolish the tenth-second watch in this country after January 1. The performances of both Paddock and Locke, regardless of the tech nical squabble over watches. mark new milestones in American sprint ing history. The Californian record would erase the 20 year old standard set by Dan Kelly at Spokane. Wash. and equalled five times since then. twice by Paddock himself and once each by Howard Drew and Cyril Coaffie, At the same time Paddock would forfeit 10 Locke the 22o yard mark of 20 4-5 which he set in 1921 and equalled in 1924.
