Statue of Revolutionary
 War Backer Is Refused

New York, July 22 P0Haym saloman, a statue of whom was de- clined by the New York art com- mission for placing in Madison Square park, was called "only an estimable merchants" in the minutes of the commissions meeting Sep tember 15, 1925.
 Search of the commissions report revealed that Dr. Warrington Ford, of the Massachusetts Historical so- ciety, had been asked to study the subject of Saloman's contributions to the financing of the Revolution ary war. On August 29, 1925, Dr. Ford reported that claims made in behalf of Solomon were without proof.
 Saloman is alleged by some au- thorities to have aided Robert Mor- rs, Philadelphia financier, greatly in financing the Colonial army.

PRINCE 0F WALES l CALLED A PRINCE
NeWSreel Man Declares He Is
 Real Regular Fellow

i Atlanta. July 22 R-"You could take away his title, heave it in the ash pile and he'd still be every bit
 a prince, thus Tracy Mathewson. Y, Atlanta news reel photographer, spoke of the Prince of Wales as he boarded a train today bound for
 Quebec.
 Mathewson received word last night that he had been selected as
 the sole movie camerman to be all
 lowed to accompany the Prince on his visit to Canada July %. The , Atlanta cameraman was similarly designated to shoot" the prince in 1922 when the heir to the British 1 throne first visited Canada.
 He is one of the finest individ- uals I've ever known and I've ] known few in many countries dur l ing my 15 years as news reel pho 1 itographer," said Mathewson.
 Folks in this country have the
 wrong impression of him-he's not the roofing footing gay young blade ; that the newspaper correspondents would have you believe.
 Work? That prince is the hard est worker I've ever laid my eyes on. I've travelled with circuses, with Woodrow Wilson and a lot of other I celebrities in my time, but this Windsor lad has 'em all eclipsed-
 on my first trip with him, he jumped
 off the train at every tank town. met the mayor, village marshal, shook
 hands with the squire, made a
 speech, kissed 8 baby here and there, and climbed back on the train just smilin.' Why I was wheezin' like a woodburner on a steep grade. Another thing the average Amer ican doesn't tumble to is the way this royal young man builds up good will for England in his rambles around the world. When he stops his automobile, climbs out and shakes the hand of some old wo- man, as he invariably does, he does it in a way that isn't cheap-lilie politicians bunk. When you see him do it, why you know right away that you could take away his title and heave 1t in the ash pile and he'd still be every bit a prince."

RUSSIA FACING
 SPLIT ON POLICY
Opposition Led by 7rotsky 0p- poses Propaganda Schemes
Especial to the Herald)

lopeclAi 10 the Herald)
 New York, July 20-The possi. bllity of a bitter controversary be. tween the two factions in the Soviet government on the question of Soviet foreign policy. with the oposition leading an attack on the propaganda activities of the Third International is foreseen in a report on Develop ments in Russias Foreign Rela- tons." publised today through the Foreign Policy association.
 The collapse of Soviet influence in China, and the fear of further re- percussions resulting from the re- cent Anglo Russian break have giv- baign being led by Trotsky. Zino- vieff and others. The issue will pro- baby be fought out at the forthcom- ing meeting of the central control committee, sceduled for August l in Moscow.
 The present dissension, according to the Foreign Policy association re- of Russia's foreign policy. For the past ten years Soviet policy has va cillated between the objects of world revolution expressed in the activi- ties of the Third International, on the one hand, and the dictates of nationalism on the other.
 "The triumph of world revolu- tion," the report states, was the primary objective of Soviet policy during the early years. The Third International was created almost at the outset for the purpose of extend- ing the dictatorship of the prole- tariat to foreign countries and was heavily subsidized by the Soviet gov ernment in spite of the poverty of the treasury and the pressing economic needs of the country. It supported, if it did not actually di- rect, the Hungarian revolution of March, 1919, and it exerted every ef- fort to bring about Bolshevist revolution in Germany during the chaotic period of 191s-1919.
 But, in spite of it's renunciation of imperalsm, the Soviet government has not been able to avoid complete ly the implications of Russia's geo. graphical position and her economic needs. Beginning in 1920, when the government appealed to all parties to assist it in expelling the Polish armies from southern Russia, na- tionalist interests have held a place in the foreign policies of the Soviet government.
 "At the same time that the Soviet government was pursuing its revolu- tionary policy in China, the necessi- ties of national security and economic expansion were compelling it to conclude treaties of neutrality or commerce with Turkey, Germany. Italy. Sweden, Norway, Greece, Iithuania and Latvia. The political and economic motives which impell- ed the soviet government to nego- tate these treaties are in sharp con- trast to the motives inspiring the policy of world revolution. The ac- ton of Great Britain in breaking off diplomatic relations with Russia has confronted the Soviet govern ment with the question of deciding between these two policies"

day afternoon, the final score of the
almost hitless encounter being Ga.
Partyka and Golas allowed only
three hits each and they walked
four men apiece, but the Burritts
fielded better in the pinches and won
on that advantage.
Mangan's hit to center and q
crashing two,bagger to left by Dali
kowski gave the Burritts a start in
the first, but in the second the Col
liers made three runs on Florkow-
skis hit, Luty's error, another error
by Partyka, fielder's choice, wild
pitch on third strike, and a single
by Golas himself. In the fifth
Zembko got the last Burritt hit and
Kozakrewicz walked, Kulas forced
Zembko at third, but Sapko's error
and two wild pitches allowed thIee
runs to trickle across the plate and
gave the Burritts 4-3 lead. Passes
to Cabay and Miastkowski and
Kozakrewiczs error let the Golfers
tie things in the sixth.
In the seventh the Burritts won
the game without a hit. With one
down kulas walked. Walicki hit to
Golas, and there were runners on

Methodists will play the Everyman's
Bible class on Diamond No. l and
the First Baptists will face South
Congregational church on Diam ond
No. ,. Both games will start at GAS
o'clock. and players are requested to
De on time.
The Methodists have been starting
upward again after Hopping badly
in mid-season. They should give the
Bible GLASS a close run, although that
team has been turning in wins quite
regularly Of late. The First Bap-
lists have been playing $3.50 ball
but have always been able to give
the leading teams bad scares before
succumbng. The South church now
has four wins in a row to its credit
and hopes TO set out in a drive for
third place.

Bobby Burke, tall. skinny south
paw of the Washington. club. scored
his first big league victory of 1927
in a most unusual manner. He
pitched one ball in a recent game
with the Boston Red Sox and was
credited with the win.
it was just one of those queer
quirks of baseball, relative to what
pitcher should be credited with the
win.
1t was just one OF those queer
uuirks of baseball, relative to what
pitcher should be credited with the
victory.
In the last half Of the seventh
inning, Burke relieved Marberry
the scare standing rs against Wash
ington. The bases were filled at
the time, with two out and Pitcher
Ruffing at the bat. On the first ball
pitched by Burke. Ruffing grounded
out to the shortstop, retiring the
side.
Burke didn't even come to the bat
In the eighth inning, a pinch hitter
taking his place. At the close of
the inning, Washington had made
four runs and taken the lead 81.
Braxton took up pitching bur
den for Washington and allowed
one run, the Senators finally win
ming 9-S. Since his team was ahead
when he went to the box, there is
no way Braxton could be given the
credit for the win. 1t must be
given to Burke, who went to the
rubber with Washington two runs
behind and when his successor
finished the game, his club had
two-run lead.
1t Is one Of the very few games
in the history of major league base
ball where a pitcher who threw only
one ball during his stay on the rub
Der is credited with victory.

DATES FOR POLICE
SERIES SELECTED
Meriden and New Britain Teams
to Clash This Month

The annual home and home series
Of baseball games between the New
Britain and Meriden police depart
ment baseball teams will be staged
this year on August "a and August
81, according to an announcement
made today. The first game to be
played on Wednesday, August "a,
will be staged at Hanover park in
the Silver City while the second
week later, will be staged at Willow
Brook park in this city.
The teams split the series last
year each winning one game but this
year the both teams will be out to
cop the two contests without any
interruptions allowed. Meriden will
have practically the same lineup as
it had last season while the New
Britain team is yet to start working
out.
The Hardware City crew will be
out working several nights a week
from now on in preparation for the
coming clash. Paddy O'Mara with
Manager Tommy Dolan will watch
the candidates at work and selec-
tons for the various places on the
squad will be made.
The local crew will have two good
boxmen to send in against the Silver
City nine this year in slim" Poll
It's and Tommy Blanchette. Both of
these men, the former southpaw
and the latter right handler. had a
chance at the Meriden blue coats
last year and each turned in neat
performances.
The makeup of the New Britain
team, it is expected, will be prac-
tically the same this season as it was
last year with change or two being
contemplated. The outfield last year
was considered weak in spots but
after several workouts these gaps
will be filled,
Manager Dolan plans to arrange
several practice games with teams
about the city especially the Gascos
and some of the Industrial league
teams. Announcements will be made
shortly of the dates selected for
practice sessions.
