The members of tho Paradise i Park baseball team. champions Of the Rotary Boys baseball league 1 thoroughly enjoyed the trip 10 New York given them by the New Britain | Rotary club last Saturday. Judging it as one Of the best days in their | lives. the boys who made mp the championship team found that it was certainly worth while to work hard for the pcnnant
 The party. numbering IS in all, l loft New Britain about o'clock i Saturday morning. The trip 10 ! New York was uncventful until | BronN Park was reached about ! 1l:30 o'clock.
 i There the New Britain group was met by Head Keeper James Toomey | of the Bronx Park Zoo and he con- ducted personal tour of inspection 1 of the park. The group stood in awe before some of the greatest ani-
 mals in the world. Each member Of the party had the experience Of handling q South American boa con i strictor in the reptile house and
 they watched the monkeys and oth- CT animals being fed. The trip about the park was interrupted only i long enough for the hovs to enjoy T
 chicken dinner at the Rocking Stone restaurant at noon. Following the
 feast, when all tho silverware was ! accounted for, the rounds of the
 park were made.
 X little after o'clock, the party i departed for the feature of the day, the Yankee Stadium where New 1 York was 10 play Detroit
 The local party saw the great
 team Of Yankees blank the Tigers i 6 10 Q and although they failed tO
 soc Babe Ruth make any home runs. the Babe got two nice hits. The

 broke into song and cheering and cv"ryono and everything was includ-

 day was ending. but satisfied that
 they would never forget the thrills

POS|T|0NOF GOAL
 POSTS CONFUSING PIaVerS and Fans Alike Unable to
 Gauge Distance on Field

New York. Sept. cG P-Out Of the football rules changes which. in the main, failed to cause any devia- ton from tn" general standard of play in opening contests. one which had been given little consdo ration by coaches and officials seems 10 be causing some confusion 10 players and spectators.
 The chief reason for moving tn" goal posts 10 yards beyond the goal line was 10 emphasize goals after touchdown and goals from the field. While the objective may have been attained. opening games only served to confound players attempting 10 gauge distance when receiving punts and when carrying the ball near the goH'. Spectators, likewise, wcr" un- certain regarding the distance to be covered for q touchdown.
 Suggestions already have arisen for correction to do away with that situation. among them plans for spc- ciql markings at the goal line.
 The new rule governing the lateral pass was not put 10 test. Only a very few Of the casts teams put the play into operation. Rulings re garding the timing of shifts and the huddlc did not tend 10 run up penal ties. The huddlc system Of calling plays scarcely was used, while the teams employing shifts had no es- pecial difficulty.
 First games afforded no basis for determining whether the rules on time lapscs between the shift and the snapping of the ball, and the time limit on the huddlc, will have a market effect on the sport. The ma ior!ty of teams were not 1ai enough advanced 10 assume NolNcd play

New York. Sept. cG NClD-Not the least bit supersttious, of course. but the fact that she had l% clubs in her bag and left Kansas City on Septem ber l3 may have had some thing 10 do with it. Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn contided the day after winning the womcns national golf championship.

"I know l didntplay real championship golf but l think i the writers should realize that girls are less able 10 stand the strain.
 And my medal card was not helped by the fact that when l hal two puts for q win l didn't fall all i over myself trying 10 sink six or ciGht-fooicr.
 "I believe in playing my oppo- non;. You usually have just so many butts in your bag. And if you make a long one when you don't need it. why. it may not be there when you do.'

 Mrs. Horn tried four times to win tho national championship be- fore she finally won il, She never before passed the third round.

WASHTNGTONM
LETTERM
lN@1
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON = You may have
read in the newspapers that workmen
engaged in repairing the temporary
White House were selling nails from
the torn-out sections to the souvenir
hunters.
Well, President Coolidge heard it,
too, and there hasn't been a nail
sold since.
Prior to this profitable enterprise of
the workmen, all good citizens of the
United States and their wives and
children were allowed to enter the
White House grounds and at some
slight distance, to gaze respectfully
upon the operation Of putting a new
roof on the White House and other
wise improving it's safety and COM
fort
But President Coolidge picked up
the morning paper and read about
the nail selling and his method of
stopping this commerce was to bar
all ordinary citizens from the grounds
although he himself was then still
living at the temporary White House
on Dupont Circle.
The sequence of cause and effect
has JuSG COIIlS W l1SIlG. IL dppSdAO D
!, that only handful of nails was sold,
but now the workmen are deprived
Of the opportunity to make a few
quarters and first time visitors to
Washington are denied a closeup of
the White House and it's alteration.
The business of keeping American
citizens off their governments prop
erty is nothing new. It's done every
day in many instances. One of the
most extreme examples was the con-
duct of Admiral John D. Mcdonald,
commander of the Pearl Harbor naval
base at Honolulu, in barring pho
tographers, newspapermen and every
one else from a glimpse of the plane
of Pilot Grace as it prepared for a
flight to San Francisco.
Mcdonald is known as one of the
most hard boiled officers in the navy
and his martinez characteristics have
not diminished with the approach of
his retirement. All officers and men
entering the gates are searched for
liquor or dope and the violator of any
rule may expect scant sympathy from
the commandant.
