towards the support Of his wife and
seven year old child. or so to Jail
for 60 days. He testified that his
wife put him out in September and
told him never to return. He was
under treatment in Hartford hospi-
tai for two weeks and as yet he IS
unable to work because of heavy
cold. he said.
His wife, however, said he want
cd to so into the "moonshine bust

He has given her only s. since he

TO FILL GAP in
BOARD OF RELIEF
First Selectman Says He Has No
Citizen in Mind
MEETING DAY IS NEAR
Michael Conlin, Former Resident,
Dies in Mcriden After Shock-Le-
gion Plans Joint Installation
Pastore Funeral Held Today.

With the first Of February. the
date when the board Of relief be-
gins its operations in tho hearing OF
appeals from the tax assessment,
drawing near, residents are wonder
ing who will be mentioned by First
empty berth ON the board Of relief.
The three elected consisted of S.
Chase Coale. Willard l. Alling and
Max Sugenhime. Later MI. Coale
withdrew frcm the board pleading
that his business interests would not
permit him to give the time neces-
sarY to the working of the board.
Since that date, which was about
three months ago and shortly after
Ceale's appointment, the place has
remained vacant.
1t Is generally believed that the
new member will come from the
Worthington section as Alling halls
from kensington and Susenhime is
an East Berlinite.
Selcctman Carter when ap-
preached on the subject admitted
that there would probably be some
trouble in locating suitable mem
Der. He stated that the question
had taken up a good part of his
been selected.
The loss of Mr. Coale to the board
left a gap in the ranks that will be
difficult to fill in time for the work
irgs of the board in February. With
the assessors working at top speed
to conclude their labors in due time
for the closing of the books,
no spare time can be given the sit
uation before someone Is appointed.
The relief board berth has never
appealed greatly to office seekers in
Berlin, Being a body whose duty it
is to hear complaints and to pass
judgments which materially affect
the assessing of various properties.
the post on the board is not an en-
viable one. Tho boards decisions are
sometimes appealed to higher courts
neccssitating loss of time in the
hearing of the cases in the superior
court to which they are taken. The
recent Emerson appeal in the SUI
perior court Of Hartford compelled
many members of former board Of
relief to make daily trips to the
capital during the taking of testi-
mony.

BRISTOL TO PLAY
 AT HOME SUNDAY
New Departures Face Norwich
 RiYerYieW Club in Bell City

Bristol. May 6-Bristol's baseball season makes its 1927 getaway on the coming Sunday at Muzzy field when the local New Departure nine will entertain one of its most for midable rivals, tho strong Riverview club. representatives of the Norwich State hospital.
 Tho Riverviews are admittedly ono of the classiest diamond aggre- gations In Connecticut and on last Sunday demonstrated their ability by clustering the Bearing Makers 1e to 6, thereby administering the most humiliating defeat that the To- calls have tasted in the last seven years.
 The factory contingent is champ ing at the bit for another shot at the Hospital nine and anxious to even the count so that all who at tend the opening day festivities are certain to zee plenty of action.
 The team that will represent Nor wich on the coming Sunday will show the same array of athletes who SO overwhelmingly defeated the Carrollmen on last Sunday. Tony West. bespectacled southpaw finger. whose deft left hand has been re- sponsible for more victories over the New Departures In recent years than any other Nutmeg pitcher. will again toss his glove on the hurling hill and attempt to duplicate his feat of last Sunday.
 Because of the ineffectiveness Of tho two Bristol right-hand fingers on last Sunday at Norwich. 1t is be- lieved that the local management will toss Eddie Goodridge. a south paw into the breach in the coming tilt in an effort to hold the visiting sluggers in check.
 Manager Carroll also announced that he has secured a new infielder in Angelo Riccio. former member of the Boston Twilight league. who will make his debut on Sunday.
 The game will get underway at , o'clock CD. s. T.) and Messrs. Cough lin and McCabe will call the plays.

GOLFERS SET FOR SECOND TOURNEY
Shuttle Meadow Sharpshooters Battle Again Tomorrow

Entries are coming in fast to the tournament committee of the Shuttle Meadow Golf club for the second tournament of the year to be staged tomorrow. It will be a best selected nine in IS hole event with strokes to be taken only where the card al- lows and a full handicap given.
 All week long. a heavy list of twi- light sharpshooters have been get ting the measurements on the course and the appearances of tho cards scored by most of them indicate that a record number will be competing in tho event tomorrow. The mem- bers seem to impress a spectator with the fact that they mean business in the drive for golhng honors this year. Excellent Course
 Under the careful nursing of Val Flood. the clubs professional, the course at the present time is in won- derful shape. Only on one or two greens is the grass bare in small spots and with Val after these de- fects the next two weeks should find the entire trip in almost perfect shape.
 Val has effected a few changes to tho course that will surely deepen the worry furrows on the duffers' brows in the next few months. Traps have been deepened and made more difficult. At the 1lth hole. Flood has set up a devils canyon" and that this is r1ghtfully named can well be attested to because of the blue smoke issuing from tho trap during the week when some luckless golfer got stuck in the sand.
 He has eliminated tho chances of any moro criticism of tho trap at tho 18th hole by pushing 1t well over to the right. Heretofore. the trap extended into the fairway and 1t wasn't really a fair break for the good golfers who were driving | straight ball to como into tho trap where the fairway should be. No good ball will be penalized with the trap where 1t is now.
 But this doesn't mean that the hole is easy. While the spot has been changed, woe be to him who hooks or slices over to it because Val has set up real enemy machine gun nest here and in the charge of golf balls this summer. many will fall by the wayside in the vicinity of the 18th hole spiders web." The bank has been heightened while the trap itself is shallow.
 Team Matches
 The first round of the mens team matches in the Connecticut Golf as- sociation tournament, will be played off in the near future. The best players have been selected for the teams from each club and the win. ming team will have to do some tall hustlfng and shoot some good golf to top the field for the year. We'll balanced teams are the order of the day.
 The teams have been paired of as follows for the first round: Goodwin Park vs. Hartford Golf club: Sequin vs. Shuttle Meadow: Wampancag vs. Highland: Manchester vs. Farming ton: Wethersfield vs. Southington: Shennecossett vs. Norwich: Sound Beach vs. Westport; Shore Haven vs. Woodway: Greenwich vs. Weeburn: Brooklawn vs. Ridgewood: Mill River vs. Meadowbrook: Chippanee vs. Race Brook; Waterbury vs. Water
