EXPRESS CRITICISM

brightly lighted. 1t was voted to re-
quest the board of public works TO
! improve the illumination at this
corner.
Hart Defends System
Chief w. C. Hart defended the sig
nal system after Commissioners
Chamberlain and Bannan had
criticized it. He pointed out that
these lights are being installed
throughout the country, and they
must be OF value or they would not
meet with general adoption. 1t is
true that automobiles are held up
when the red light flashes but it
should be borne in mind, he said,
that when this happens other cars
are moving on ahead and break
ing up congestion. In reply to Chair
man Chamberlain's mention of the
advsability of permitting right hand
turns on the red light, Chief Hart
said to do SO would be to defeat the
entire purpose of the system and
it would be better to take the lights
out entirely. Commissioner Morton
agreed that it would be a mistake to
permit movements of traffic on red
lights at certain corners because
confusion would be certain to re-
suit.
Chief Hart said that he believed
| the lights were working out well, as
| he could recall having received only
about three complaints in six months.
One of these was not a complaint,
but simply suggestion from a
prominent manufacturer whose
name was entioned by Chairman
| Chamberlain as having ade sug-
geston to him.
Consideration will be given to in
stalling signals at dangerous inter-
board TIT no additional lights OF
the type now in use will be installed
at the time. Some of the intersec-
tons mentioned can be taken care
of by signs.
Policeman Loses "off Duty" Days

pline committee, Patrolman James
Sullivan was penalized his two days
off duty per month for the balance

"a. In case of Patrolman Nincenzo
Santucci, the committee reported
that he lad been advised to better
acQuaint himself with the English
language. Incidents occurring on his

morning of May IS were the cause
of his appearance before the COM
mittee. On one occa N he failed to

Chamberns vcroy over the Atlantic indicates that we

.S0CC0L| BATTLES GREG0R AT ROGERS
 New Britain Billiard Stars Will Clash Tonight

The two New Britain entries in the state chan pionship pocket bil- Hard tournament, will stage battle all their own tonight at S:30 o'clock at Rogers Billiard parlors on Church street. Gregor, representing Rogers, will take on Soccoli. repre- senting the Elmore Parlors on Main street.
 Both players are reported to be in fine shape for the clash. Gregor hasn't been hitting it off very well in the state competition and Soccoli has been goink great guns. This, however, will have no bear ing on the battle tonight as both boys will be out to- win. It Is the belief in Gregors camp that Soc coli is due to take a fall in some of the coming matches and Gregor is due to hand Soccoli one tonight. Soccoli's followers scoff at this re- port saying that after Dom" hand cd Hanlon of Hartford, league lead CT, trimming the other night at the Elmore, nothing can stop him now. The justice of the claims of both factions will be shown tonight when the two gladiato-s of the green baiz2 square off.
 The state tournament match be- tween Gregor and Swingle of Bris- tol has been postponed until Friday night.
 In the Class B pocket billiard tour nament played last night at Rogers, Dickinson defeated Teddy 75 to 5l. In the billiard tourney, Knapp de- feated Miller 75 to 61 and Nelson beat Scar 75 to 67.

GUARDS TO MEET
 WATERBURY TEAM
Brooklyn A. C. to Be Weekly
 Attraction at State ArnOry

Tho National Guards will meet the fast Brooklyn A. c. team of Water bury at the state armory Saturday night. The visitors handed the Guards a fine pasting on January in Waterbury taking the game play ed there by the score of 42 to 24 and through this victory. they gave mo- tice to the locals that they would seriously threaten to break the win ming streak of the GuaNs on the home floor.
 This victory made the score in games between the two teams tied, as the Brooklyn A. c. quintet lost to the National Guards in this city on 1 December Il by the score of 35 to 25.
 The same team that beat the Guards of Waterbury, will oppose the locals Saturday night. ,Daly and Dunn will occupy the forward berths with McNamara, lanky Waterburian. at center. Fruin and Wall will be in at the guard position. completing a combination that is remarkable for its speed and clever floor work.
 The Guards have been going at hot pace all season long at home and although the team hasn't met with much success on out-of-town floors. it did break through this peculiar jnX last Sunday and beat the St. Joes of Waterbury on the Brass City floor. The team is anxious to wipe out the defeat suffered at the hands of Brooklyn in Waterbury because this was the worst suffered by the team this year.
 The Waterburians will bring a large number of rooters with them because they are all het up over the game. The Brooklyn A. c. team has large home following and because the team showed so well against the Guards, it is favored among the Brass City rooters, to win Saturday nights tussle.
 The Burritts will, as usual. play in the preliminary game, meeting the fast Company B team of South Man chester. The Burritts will play in South Manchester Friday night against the Recs of that town. Dick Dillon will referee both games.
