WALTER JOHNSON, THROUGH WITH
 SENATORS, WANTS TO BE MANAGER

Washington, Oct. Y NP)-It is one Of the minor tragedies Of base ball that Walter Johnson would have liked to have become manager of the Washington Senator's upon his retirement IS q player.
 "The Big Train" gave all the best years of his baseball career winning ball games for Washington from the pitching box.
 Always he looked forward 10 the day when he could win them from the bench and coaching line.
 "T hoped l could finish up my baseball days right here" Johnson told me in an interview at his home in Alta Vista, just over Inc Mary land border.
 But when the time came for him to step ont as an active player. the Washington S"nators were heing managed by "Eucky" Harris. q youngster who apparently has many more years of major league baseball ahead Of him.
 "Bucty" is satisfactory 10 Clark Griffith. president of the club, and there simply was no plac" for Walter Johnson in the club presi- dents scheme of things.
 "I didn't want him to think he was paying me for what had done in tn" past" said the his pitcher, q bit sadly.
 For Walter Johnson feels very badly about parting with the Sena tors under the circumstances. One gets an impression behind all that that the famous pitcher feels that fate omohow has cheated him out of something he wanted from the club he had served so well for 20 years.
 Tn justice 10 Clark Griffith, 1t must be said that "Bucky" Harris las hcen getting along pretty well as Washingt on manager. and that m opening for Johnson would hay" had 10 he forced with considerable difficulty.
 As for tha fans of Washington, they are in favor Of giving Walter inc ball club, the park and part Of the Potomac and letting him do as he likes with them.
 Tt won't be natural without Johnson" said CIarl; Griffith, and the fans, black and white, were

Hartford. Oct. 17 -- II took inc Greenfield High school of Massachu- SettS just about q half d game 10 round into form but when it did an $ to lead of the Hartford Public High school team began 10 look smaller. Hartforl held twice in it's own territory and was able to stop tn" Bay States last minute attempt 10 take the game which was played at Trinity field Saturday afternoon. Tn" final score was IS to : in favor of the Capital City team.
 The blue and white team ot Hart ford was not very impressive in vic tory With the exception of q strong offensive attack in the open ing periods of the game, it does not look so good The game Saturday was q loosely played affair between two teams that were strong on the off"nso, but poor on the defense.
 Like New Britain, Hartford Is weak in its defense of forward passes. Its line is weak in some places and if does not seem 10 have pep in its charges. Cunningham and Ring, the ends %rc good men and their part Of the work was well taken car" of.
 Greenfield seemed 10 score first downs at will. Harjtcrd. too, SCOT cd first downs. but most of them were made by Root the Capital .riiy's best bet, who made several sensational runs. scored two touch- downs and dii som" neat punting when "Fat' Barber was not punt ing. The latter seems to be the only other hacki"ld m3n who should be feared by Now Britain.

 The signing of Dave Bancroft, manager and shortstop of the l}os- ton Braves. is the first move in tho reconstruction process. kiki Cuyler, Pirate outticlG"r, who was cNlled from competition in tho latter part of the season. is also being sought by Brooklyn 10 strengthen the outer works.
 The club already has one of the best twirling staffs in the league with Vance, Petty. Doar and Me Sweeney as stars, but its batting punch and infi.ld defense left much to be desired last season.
 Brooklyn won pennants In 1916 and 1920 Another four-year interval found the club finishing second 10 the Giants in 1924 after close race. Three straight years in sixth place since then have provided the spur for next years bid.

With a minute to go Sturm threw a high forward pass 10 Leary who was covered hy two men, Leary. however. jumped high in the air and came down with the ball behind the goal line. "RUtsy" Sturm made New Rritain's &4th point, a drop kick for tho point after touchdown.
 Three New Britain players were hanished from the game because of Slugging and several Bridgeport players also met the same fate. Thompson left the game after he en- gagged in au tistic argument with Bridgeport end. Thompson was hold ing the ball for Graham to kick for a goal from placement after d touchdown when the end came in to square an account.
 Holzheimer and guard has a disagreement and "Hillcr" was sent 10 the bench. Werwaiss and the same guard, a squatty gent. who seemed to be looking for touble all afternoon, also had a set-to and Werwass was soon telling Holz- heimcr to move over' on the bench.
 Although at times the arguments bordered on the "frec-for-all' varie- ty, the only time the police began to take action was when Wcrwaiss was sent from the game. Summary of the Game All-New Britain Bridgeport . ' . Left End tOnklln ,........ .............,. fcnnell

 Few Paragraphs

Now York. Oct. Y P' Gene Tun- ncy stunning the spotlight and spending a good deal of his time roughing if in tn" woods already is going about lhe job of keeping him self fiji for his next title defense.
 Whether tho heavyweight cham pion stakes his crown next in Lon don or New York. against Jack Dempsey, Jack Sharkey or Pauline Uzcudun. he will hc in condition.
 Dempsey may have caught Tun- ncy off guard in their famous seventh round but he didn't catch the blonde marin" ont of condition.
 Stamina. built up by a year-round training program. saved the heavy weight crown for Gene Tunney at Chicago. ON one knows that better than Gene himself.
 "I never get ready for a fight by an intensive program of work for few weeks hcGorohand," Tunney once explained. 'Im in condition all the time. My natural preference is for q life in the, open where ] can build up and develop my strength naturally"
 The experts were a bit amazed at Chicago by the ease with which Tunucy took matters before his re- turn battle with Dempsey. The champion mingled in fashionable so- cicty circles. H. did little strenuous work with the gloves but what he did was enough to keep him al the desired edge. No athlete was ever conditioned better for a hard fight than Tunney when he stepped into the ring at Soldier field.
 By the time the hallyhoo starts next spring for the next battle Of millions. Tunncy will be in shape. He won't wait until Tex Richards elimination program has produced the logical challenger.
 Boxing is my business the champion says. As lon" as l am ! in it, l intend 10 make d thorough
 job of it.

"In its first session, also, in ad-
dition to the enactment of much
other beneficial legislation in keep
ing with the Republican program,
the Sixty-ninth Congress gave ap-
proval to debt funding agreements
with most of our foreign debtors.
"As usual the short session just
closed was occupied principally with
the passage of the great annual ap-
preparation bills, a task sufficient in
itself to tax the energies of a legis-
lative body in the three months al
lOtted, yet it has to it's credit the
enactment of measure of far
reaching Importance - the Radio

to the continuance of the great

AN APPRAISEMENT OF THE
RECORD OF THE SIXTY.
NINTH CONGRESS
written expressly for the National
Press Service by Congressman viii
R. Wood of Indiana, Chairman Re-
publican National Congressional
COmmittee)

The Sixty-ninth Congress, which
closed its labOrs March 4th, Obeyed
the unmistakable mandate of the
1924 election to Disregard radical
proposals of changes in the funda-
mental principles of our govern
ment, and to continue the major
policies of the national Republican
administration, looking to the COM
plete rehabilitation of governmental
affairs upon a peace-time basis.
"In its first session it lost no time
in the enactment of a revenue act,
which not only reduced taxes in a
further amount of nearly four hum
dred million dollars and released
from the federal taxrolls nearly two
and One-half millions of American
citizens least able to bear a share
of the burden, but which embodied
principles of tax reform vigorously
opposed by the minority party in
the preceding Congress. The lesson
of the 1924 election had not been
lost upon the Democrats in Con-
gress who joined almost unanimous
ly in the passage of the revenue
act, and who found so little to Op-
pose in other administration poll
cies that they went into the 1926
campaign without single issue to
command the attention of the coun-
try as a whole.

IT MIGHT be worth while if those
persons who are always looking for
the oldest man or woman living"
were to give a little thought as to
what it means when they find such
an individual.
Merely as an object of interest the
Oldest inhabitant deserves no more
comment than the talIest man, the
stingiest woman OF the most mis-
chievous boy. These are traits or
characteristics which bring little
credit to him or to the community.
1t is fullness of life we want; not
mere length. Fortunate indeed is he
whose years cover a long span of
life; but more fortunate still is he
who can make these years count for
something in service to his fellow
men. We do not begrudge the old
est inhabitant the years he has ac-
cumulated. But the individuals who
seek to enlist our interest in him
could more easily get it, if we could
feel that they were not unmindful of
the words of the poet:
I'VE live in deeds, not years; In
thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on
dial"
