what it was all about.
Prosecuting Attorney w. L. Des-
rosters of Bristol, being called on for
a speech, issued a challenge to the
New Britain Lions for golf match.
He was taken up.
Songs were sung by Matt Gala
kan and frankie Clynes, Harry Sha-
hanian, James F. Donanue and Joe
Haffey, the last named offering his
famous "Schnitzelbank." the pro-
genitor of the illustrated song"
which used to give Grandma a thrill.
Mr.. Haffey. in the role OF Prof.
Pumpernickel. was kindly assisted
more or less-by the entire assembly.
Stunts were performed by various
members of the club, including A. J.
Delaurier, who successfully demon
strated how thumb may be cut and
who later, with the assistance of
several other thespians, put on a
sketch called why do they put en-
balming fluid in a gin bottle?"
The musical event of the evening
was the singing of the Hartford
Lions club quartet. The Ctpital City
harm onists made big impression
and were given round after round of
applause.
The presentation Of prizes was
made and the gathering adjourned
with the Lions roar which must
have made the spirits of Chief Com
pounce and his braves jealous.

A Shame to
Suffer from Piles

Because you have had HEMOR-

Prox has been used by specialists
and doctors only for several years.
1t is a scientific product developed
by use on thousands OF cases. In
like old style pile salves, Prox acts
by dilating the CONSTRUCTED blood
vessels that cause the trouble, thus
reestablishing normal circulation
and ultimately normal conditions.

merely said it was because Cochet
and Lacoste were playing better
tennis which they were, at the

Ordinarily I would say that ath-

liable to be on the decline but not
in Tilden's case. He is of the sinewy

Will CROWN new
BATTING LEADERS
Champions Of Last Year Have
Slumped Badly This Season

By the Associated Press.
New York, July 14.-lP-New
batting kings probably will be
crowned this year in both major
leagues.
The 1926 champions in both cir
cults have slumped so badly that
they now are virtually out of the
race for hitting honors. Heinie
Manush of the Tigers, who led the
American league last season, has
been having struggle staying
around the 800 mark while "Bub-
bles" Hargrave. the Cincinnati
catcher who upset the dope by lead
ing the 1925 National league list,
has dropped off to an even greater
extent. He was around .2S5 in the
latest unofficial figures.
1t may be too early to pick their
successors. but Paul Waner of the
Pirates in the National and either
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees or AL
Simmons of the Athletics in the
American league seem to have as
good a prospect as any of landing
at the top. All three are youngsters,
comparatively. yet seasoned sufi-
| GENTLY to have established them
selves among the games most bril-
liant allround performers.

chapions. Babe Ruth is in a threat
ening position but Ty Cobb, Harry
Heilmann and George Siser seem
unlikely to displace their younger
rivals now at the top.
In the National, Rogers Hornsby,
six-tme batting champion, started
off sensationally but has been hav-

Three LIONS CLUBS
HOLD joint OUTING
New Britain, Bristol and Meriden
Disport at Compounce

1T isn't the heat that makes it
70 hot. it's the humidity" remark
cd members of the New Britain,
Bristol and Meriden Lions clubs
at their annual joint outing at Lake
Compounce yesterday afternoon.
so let's play some games and for
get it." they continued. So some
went out to the baseball field to
show how much they had forgotten
about the national game since they
adorned the neighborhood sandlots.
1t was only 10 degrees Fahrenheit
out on the baseball diamond and
this, with the heat of battle, per-
mitted the players to leap into the
fray Immediately without any pre-
liminary warming up. Others went
swimming while the rest played a
game called Albums and were
robbed that way instead.
Lions began to foregather at the
lake about p. m. From New
Britain. Bristol and Meriden they
advanced in hordes. Dust clouds
floating over the countryside mark
ed their wake and residents along
the routes thought there was a
general exodus from the cities be-
cause Of some calamity threatening.
As they progressed they roared
salutes to the gaping yokels in the
rural districts.
The program for the afternoon
was informal. Some of the members
decided to give an imitation Of
President Coolidge and took to the
flying horses. The big attraction,
however. was staged on the base
ball diamond where there were
more Babe Ruths than could be
counted. The score keeper became
slightly mixed at times but it was
finally decided after several innings
that Meriden had beaten New
Britain. The score doesn't matter.
It Is one Of those facts in history
which will be lost to posterity and
the little boys and little girls OF the
future who are studying the STORY
Of America" will have to go with
out this brick In the structure of
the past.
Later in the afternoon the quot
experts began to show their skill
at pitching horseshoes at iron
stakes. Rev. Raymond N. Gilman
and Harry Hancock represented
New Britain and went down to de-
feat before the accuracy of the
Bristol team. In order to recover
New Britain's lost prestige Lou Vo-
gel, Johnny Meehan and A. ]. De-
laurier rushed into the fray and
they're still looking for one of the
horseshoes which was last reported
doing a Lindbergh over the noun
