 Mrs. Vanderbilt's divorce plea and a countersuit by her husband were filed with the Paris court on April 2s. the wife charging that she had been refused access to their domicile in Paris, and the husband pleading his wife's coldness.
 Mir. Vanderbilt raised no objec- tons to his wife's petition for cus- tody Of their son. William K. Van derbilt III, during the formal plead ings. and the court granted her re- quest. No application was made for alimony.
 Friends of the couple have stated that, following the divorce, Mrs Vanderbilt might apply to the Catholic Ecclesiastical courts for nullification of the marriage on the

Under their coaching. the Newington boys have been prac- ticing twice a week for the past five weeks and have made remarkable strides, any lack of finished playing is more than made up for the un- quenchable spirit. They are keyed to high pitch over their first ap- pearance and can hardly wait for the chance to prove their abilities.
 The players will be brought over to New Britain Saturday afternoon in motor truck. They will be placed in the grass on the field where the meet is to take place and will give brief concerts before and after the events. They have two corps pieces. "Semper Fidelis" and Five Years" and a drum solo.
